\ THOUSAND YEARS OF LIBERTY

The preparations which are being
made in England to celebrate the
1oooth anniversary of the death of AL
fred the Great, Britain's Saxon king,
which occurs in 1901, are certain to
attract attention in many other coun-
tries. Although Alfred is character
whose conspicuous doings, or most Of
them, seem well authenticated by his
tory, an accretion Of myth has gathered
about his name almost as dense as that
which envelopes the personality OF Ar
thur Of the Round Table.
English historians are in the habit
of exhausting eulogy when they tell of
this illustrious monarch. Freeman, for
example, speaks of him as "a saint
without superstition, scholar without
ostentation, a warrior all whose wars
were fought in defense of his country,

about the excellent crops raised BY viii

Supt. Andrews, OF the chicago pub
lie schools, the man who achieved no.
toriety as the free silver president of
Brown university, has cast Rudyard
Kipling's fine poem, 'The Recessional,'
out of the Chicago schools on the
ground that it is religious in character,
and children OF non-religious parents
should not be compelled to read re-
ligious poems. Mr.. Kipling could have
no better compliment, and Mr.. An
drews could do nothing to brand him

Don,t Trade Votes.

Burlington Hawkeye: The franchise
is high prerogative, involving priv
lege and duty. Because it is honorable,
it should be on higher plane than
barter. The ballot should represent
the puhlic conscience, not the pocket
book. It il ethical, not commercial.
Men who would scorn to sell their
votes for money or commodity, some
times trade votes, But this exchange
of political favors in commerce. II the
ballot represents principle it is not to
be bartered. II it is an expression of
personal regard and good will, then it
does not need to be bought or ex-
changed. In either case, swapping
votes" is to be deprecated. If sui
fragist Wishes to cost vote
for friend not of his political faith,
it Is matter OF friendship only and re-
auires NO compensation at the ps,ls.

Talking about Bryan's alleged pref

worth to the university time and again,
as we know who have seen him session
after session taking care OF it with such
skill and fidelity that he was success
ful i'll getting nearly everything he
wanted, though at the disadvantage of

the tenth Of a mill tax was passed the

slipped in and saved the bill at the last
minute by getting it amended into

Nv estimated that the university brings
100000 q year into Iowa City to be
spent, so it is an interest worth looking
after and by thoroughly capable
man, who will stand I'M with the
powers in control of the legislature.
There are local issues, too, that are
likely to come to the surface in the
legislature, vitality affecting the uni
versity and the city of Iowa City,
wherein the services OF man with
some standing with the majority, will
be quite valuable, while democrat OF
a fusionist would be absolutely help
less. These reasons are sure to bring
Senator Ranck democratic votes and
the republicans are standing by him
soljdly. They feel reasonably sure of
electing him, which they will certainly
do if they stand together for the in

ing which is being held in Clear Lake

Charles t. Curtiss, of the State Agri-
cultural college speaks very hopefully
of the new industry. He says:
Nothing is clearer than that an
American sugar will be made at home

ed from five to forty during the las,
two years. No state in the Union has
more favorable natural conditions and
resources for sugar making than Iowa
vet we have no factories. The time to
do something is at hand. Capitalists
and experts who are ready to push the
| work will be at this meeting. Iowa
should lead in this as III other agricul.
tural lines. The establishment of this
industry will add to the value OF every
acre of land within reach OF factory

VA DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
FOR 1899
IOWA

I'VE, the democrats OF Iowa, iu con
vention assembled, unquallfedly AMI
! unreserve0ly endorse the Chicago
platform OF 1896, in whole and in de-
tail, which
ON THE MONEY QUESTION SAYS:
Recognizing that the money Gues-
ton is paramount to all Others at this
time, we invite attention to the fact
that the federal constitution names sill,
yer and gold together as the money
metals of the United States, and that
the first coinage law passed by congress
under the constitution made the silver
dollar the monetary unit and admitted
| gold to free coinage a II 4 ratio based up
on the silver dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1873 de-
monetizing silver without the know
ledge or approval of the American peo-
pie, has resulted in the appreciation OF
gold and corresponding fall in the
prices OF commodities produced by the
people; heavy increase in the burden
of taxation and of all debts, public and
private; the enrichment of the money
lending class at home and abroad, the
prostration of industry and the impov-
erishment of the people.
1--WE are unalterably opposed to mon
ometalism. which has locked fast the
prosperity of an industrial people in
the paralysis Of hard times. Gold mon
ometalism is British policy, and its
adoption has brought other nations in
to financial servitude to London. 1t is
not only un-American, but anti-Ameri-
can, and it can be fastened on the
United States only by the sitting OF
that spirit and love of liberty which pro.
claimed our political independence in
1776 and won it in the war Of the revo-
luton.

a Curtain Raiser.

Des Moines News: Now that war
is on with the Beers stories of Euro
pean plottings will be rife. England has
scarcely a friend in Europe and it
would not be strange were all sorts of
hostile alliance formed against her
while her hands are fully engaged in
South Africa.
When anything is to be gained for
Russia that country readily joins with
France and the hereditary hatred for
England cherished in France will lead
the latter to cooperate with Russia.
Russia wants India and France wants
full sway in Morocco. It would be easy
to egg on the sultan while England is
busy with the Beers and preGpitate
a conflict which might result in the Sc
curing by Russia of the Persian ports
which she failed to secure fewmonths
ago on account of England's interven.
ton and the securing by France of adj
vantages in northern Africa. Or il
would be easy to stir up the tribes in
India.
In the present tension of affairs in
Europe the conflict in the Transvaal is
likely to be but the curtain raiser for
more serious things.

A Back Yard FIGHT,

They met on top of the backyard
fence-an unconventional place
And each one felt rather shy, upon see
ing the others face.
Il didn't know that the fence was yours;
Do you live in the big house there?'
But the little girl Rugged her pussy cat,
And gave him 4 vacant stare.

look full of scorning at
The bundle of gray that the small girl
held
And then the little girl found her
tongue
PUSSY can scratch and bite.
And II your dog Is worth anything,
Why couldn't they nave a tight?"
The little boy grinned from ear to ear;
it wasn't the thing to do.
But maybe YOU would have grinned your

And he went to fetch the deg, with a

Then at it they flew, with teeth and
claws,
And the little boy cried, Its fun
TIL he saw the cat was beating his dog,
Who'd nothing to do but run.
Now, isn't he brave?" the little girl
laughed.
AS she kicked her heels on the fence,
And the little boy felt two inches tall
And dreadfully short Of sense.
Then down he climbed, in his own back
yard,
And the world felt very fiat,
And no wiaha1 inctoot3 IF a fr{ohtaroH
