INDUSTRIAL FIGURES.

III anybody has any doubt of the in
creased activity of the manufacturing
interests--though how that could be
doubted is difficult to understandable
will find some important and interest
ing facts upon that subject in an ex-
animation of recent statements of the
Financial Chronicle" showing cotton
bales taken by spinners; of the boot
and shoe shipments reported by the
Shoe and Leather Reporters" the Of
fetal returns and OF imports OF raw silk
and India rubber which are used in
manufacturing; and in the returns OF
the Iron and Steel association. showing
the consumption OF iron in the United
States. The number of bales of cot
ton taken by spinners in the United
States is shown to be AZ per cent great
er than in 1890, the number OF boots
and shoes shipped from the factories,
rs per cent greater than in 1890, the
raw silk imported for use in nanufac-
turing, GO per cent more than in 1890,

featuring, 81 per cent more than in

viii secure Dreyfus' conviction by fair

win secure Dreyfus' conviction by fair
means or foul.
Re-conviction will not mean, for
Dreyfus, re-imprisonment. His SEN
tence will probably be commut-
ed and he will be set free, private cit
izen. To be again found guilty will
only mean that he will carry for the
rest of his life the stigma Of treason,
and that he will come to an early grave
from a broken heart. His conviction
will do Jouaust and MERCER no good,
though it may please their small souls,
and satisfy an abnormal sense of
honor.
The bearing of the affair on the
French nation has been so often dis
cussed and is so thoroughly understood.
that it is useless to mention it further.
The conviction of Dreyfus means Il
step further in the decadence of an al
ready decadent nation. Revolution
NAV follow, but that will mean little
either for good or bad. France is past
help or harm from revolutions, or po-
litical upheavals. Her only salvation
lies in change in the moral character
OF her inhabitants. and that is beyond
the power of man to accomplish.
France, as nation, is in the hands OF
God.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.
..Re.t,, Not "Labor,, Day.

Marshalltown es-Republican La
Dor day was scarcely noticed as holi-
day in many sections of Iowa, notwith-
standing Governor Shaw's recommen-
dation that it 'be set apart and OBJ
served" appropriately and that fac
tories. stores and other places operated
by emp.oyed labor be closed as far as
practicable" 1t is from no want of re-
spect for the governor nor is it disre-
spect for the day that workingmen and
Others refer to it as Labor day, day
when we labor" Like all other events
in the calendar, it is necessary to work
up an interest in Labor day i'll order to
bring about general observance of
the holiday. But no one is especially
entrusted with this duty and therefore
it is nobody's business. The American
people are charged with being so in
fused with the spirit OF cemmercialism
that they do not know how to rest
gracefully, and there is much truth in
the accusation. However, they are apt
learners and it may be in time they
will be willing to ''knock Off when the
governor gives the cue. They certainly
will if the era OF prosperity gives them
funds for more leisure. But why call
the holiday "labor" day? Why not
amend it by clubbing it rest" day and
invite all classes to join heartily in its
observance?

VIVA, the volunteer. ,rh,nk.

Burlington Hawkeye: The return
ed volunteers have no sympathy with
the declaration OF the aunties
that all we needed to do
was to say to the natives that we in
tended to give them their freedom.
The volunteers who were on the
ground. know something tangible
about the treachery Of Aguinaldo and
the duplicity that characterizes every
act of the so-called Filipino govern
ment. The soldiers, almost to man,
declare that peace cannot come in Luz
zon until the rebels are soundly
thrashed. They are therefore warmly
supporting the. administration and will
have nothing to do with the weak
hearted aunties who do nothing but
growl and pass resolutions condemning
the government for taking care of tie
soldiers when Aguinaldo attempted to
run over them in order that he might
loot the city Of Manila.

THREE COURSES OPEN.
South African Republic Must Choose
Between Them.

Pretoria, Sept. 9,-(By Associated
Press 1.-The News today prints the Of
fetal statement from Reitz, the secretary
of state of the South African Republic,
in which Reitz says: 'srhe government
disclosed by the communications OF
Chamberlain. The first is a joint com
mission of inquiry; the second is cons
mission of delegates from both govern
ments to discuss technicalities; the
third is a conference at Cape Town"
Reitz adds that the Transvaal govern
ment now agrees to the second propo-
sition, and invites Great Britain to de-
fine the constitution of the commission
suggested and the place OF meeting.

MIR. BRYAN AND THE TRUSTS.

Mr.. Bryan's horror of syndicates
does not seemed to have caused him
to sever his financial relations with the
great silver trust which put up such
enormous sums of money in his behalf
prior to and during the campaign of
1896. He posed during that campaign
as poor man, unable to live without
active employment; yet nobody has
heard of his legitimately earning sin
gle dollar, aside from his infliction of
his books upon the public, since the
campaign Of 1896 began. And his ex-
.penses meantime must have been some
thing enormous, since he is constantly
travelling, and'would not of course (o)
accept railroad passes. It seems not
unreasonable, since Mr.. Bryan insists
upon the condolences of the people and
appeals for their support for the high
est office within their gift, and that the
people should know how he has been
supported in the last three years can
didacy for a denomination, especially
in view of the well known fact that he
was supported in the last campaign br
the greatest trust ever known in this
country, namely, the silver trust.

oTrUMwA's SUCCESS.

Ma1shalltown Times-Republican i he
public spirited citizens of Ottumwa 'e
to be congratulated upon the successful
close of the effort to secure the Dain
manufacturing plant. This was con-
aditioned upon the sale of certain
number of lots in a tract secured for
that purpose. Five weeks ago the eff
fort began, and citizens We're urged by
the Courier and other local papers to
buy lots. During the time that has
decided to the city, have been sold. BY
noon Monday the last act in the long
process of the securing of the plant
of the manufacturing company, was
closed. BY that hour, II. L. Waterman,
trustee for the Daip Addition associa-
ton. had mailed to Joseph Dain, Jr.,
of Carrollton. Mo-. his notification that
the terms and obligations of the con-
tractJ before drawn up between the
parties. We're binding and absolute.
This means that Ottumwa has carried
out her part of the arrangements form
ally made with the Dain people, and
that they are now under contract to
take their plant to that city.
BY this act the citizens not only
helped the city, helped the manufactur-
ing company, but also helped them
selves by making purchase OF real es-
tate. one of the safest of all invest
ments. Its an example that all other
cities may profit by. 1t is not alto
gether manifest destiny that builds up
towns. Other things being equal, one
may grow with some degree of spon-
tanjety Vet he boost secured bV pui1Iic
spirited and united efforts will give a
city an advantage which she can hold
and therefore. like rolling SNOWFALL,
such city will gather more as she
grows larger. The principle involved
is well stated in an item in the Creston
Advertiser:
'Creston will be just what her citi-
zens make her. She will be live-y,
progressive, pushing place or She will
be an easy, quiet town" In the present
case Ottumwa will grow because her
citizens have decreed that she shall eN-
pand.

and by Colonel .Jouaust's refusal to al

Too Busy to Celebrate.

Waterloo Reporter: The Marion
Register says Labor day was not very
much of a holiday because laboring
men there, and in most of the other
towns of the state, were ''as busy as
bees" 1t was that way here. Holt
days are all right, and perhaps we have
too few of them, but good days
wages counts for something, too, and
sometimes holidays can wait while an
unfinished job can not. 1t is good that
work is SO plenty that men can
jingle dollars in their pockets, for they
can make better music than enforced
idleness can furnish.

HENDERSON AND ALLISON.
They Talk of Political Issues In
Iowa.

Des Moines, Sept. 9.-Senator Allison
and Speaker-to-be Henderson attended
meeting of the republican leaders,
held in this city TO plan for the coming
campaign. They were found together
and consented to talk of the issues.
This years democratic platform,
said colonel Henderson, will be dis
astrous in its effect on the party. 1t re-
affirms the Chicago platform, in haY
verba, with all that such a reaffiry
ton means on the money question:
to their expansion declaratioY
seems to be simply cloak undeHs t.a
they hope to make a successful
for free silver. So ii is with y
nearly every declaration in the
form. On the trusts they have
laration, and every body is agreed hboS
the trusts"
Senator Allison. asked to suggest .
satisfactory Legislative program as to
the trusts, said:
II am looking forward to the Civic
Federation conference with strong
hopes that it will bring forward some
useful plan," replied the senator. Yes,
| have been good deal interested in
that conference. They are going to
get together a strong representation
of men who have decided views on the
subject and ought to be able to present
some useful suggestions"
"Will you attend the conference?"
NO, ] will not be able to do SO, but
! understand iowa is to be represented
by strong delegation
Have you noticed the proposal from
Henry Wallace on the subject?'
81 have observed that he is writing
a book on the question, but / have not
followed his plan very closely
His fundamental suggestion ,'sseS-
planned the interviewer, ''seems to be
that these institutions be subjected to
examination as national banks are;
that the results OF the examination
be published, and that they shall be
prohibited from excessive capitaliza-
ton
who is to do all this?" INTERCEPTED
Colonel Henderson. How is it to be
done? We have an antitrust law in
Iowa; I don't know how effective it is
Congress has tried its best to make an
effective law. nearly all the republican
states have passed such laws and some
few of the democratic states have done
the same. But what have they accom-
! plished?"
It would like to see somebody make
a satisfactory proposal for an anti
trust law for the state OF Iowa" said
Senator Allison. taking up the CONVEX
sation. Who is 10 conduct these exam
nations? The federal government
can't interfere with state corpora
| tom and that is where the trouble
comes in. The states have tried it; the
national government has no power to
interfere with state corporations"
