IOWA PRESS COMMENT

The Council Bluffs Nonpareil believes
that those who are giving comfort
and aid to Aguinaldo and encouraging
him to prolong the contest are not only
disloyal but they are inhuman. Aguin-
aldo has among his followers not more
than one-nnth of the people. If left to
pursue such a course as he wills this
cruel and self-chosen dictator would en-
deavor to force the submission of the
other eight-ninths, and there would be
no restraining hand to prevent the Wild
est scenes Of disorder and destruction"
The Abba Union observes that "the
cutting of weeds along the public high
ways may impose burden on the
farmers but it makes their farms look
thousand times better"
Referring to Senator Gears recent
successes in the senatorial contest the

ter, to charge the people Of Iowa with
being ruled by 'bosses' because 30 many
of the people are in favor Of his re-
election. is q bit OF cheap politics-the
usual demagogic excuse by defeated
politicians. Everybody will estimate at
it's true value such fustian as that. Iowa
asks for Senator Gears re-election."
The Sphinx-like silence maintained
by Fred White since his nomination for
governor leads some of us to believe
that Fred thinks he is suspected of
writing the bordereau." says the OF
tumwa Courier.
When the people conclude Senator
Gear has outlived his usefulness, they
will desire a successor possessed of Leg
islative experience. who can carry on
the work" says the Jefferson Bee.
When that time comes the people will
find the man in the Tenth district. His
name is Jonothan p. Dolliver.''
The Anamosa Eureka's opinion of
Cato Sells is that there Is more wind
than substance and more pretense than
honesty about him.
cit is naively announced by the demo-
cratic papers that Fred White will do
his thrashing before he starts out on
his campaigning tour remarks the
Sioux City Journal.
The Des Moines Capital notices that
"the Des Moines Leader continues to
write column after column explaining
its flop from expansion to the Atkinson
crowd of snivelers and traitorous hypo-
critics.

statement that the Mckinley bill had

SAVING EXPENSE,
Cut in Price of Certain Lamps
Agreed To.

Upon the recommendation of the Com
mssloners contract has been entered into
by the District with the Washington Gas
Light Company to furnish the gas required
TO light the Coils lamps used to designate
streets, and to maintain, light and extin-
guish said lamps for the sum of $3.50 per
lamp per annum. There are said to be
about sixty of these lamps and heretofore
they were included in the regular contract
with the company at $50 per lamp per an
num- Being of the opinion that the Com
mlssloners were at liberty to make q sepa-
rate contract as to these lamps, and mas
much as the supply of gas necessary TO
light them Is much smaller than in the ordi-
nary street lamps, Mr.. Wight recently COM
municated with the company in the matter
suggesting that the price heretofore paid for
them was too much. In reply the company
wrote Mr.. Wight that it would agree to
execute contract as to the Coils lamps
for the sum of $3.50 per lamp per annum,
and Mr.. Wight thereupon recommended to
his associates that the company's offer be
accepted. Estimating the number of these
lamps at sixty, the District saves by the
terms of the new contract $3.50 per annum
and with the amount thus saved the Com
missioners will probably be enabled to erect
additional lamps.
