That every citizen has a right to
of the United States is truth so old
in practice that there seems no rea-
son why it should be expounded as a
discovery at this day. But criticism
should be fair, based on facts, and
given in full consideration of circum
stances, to be justified. No one, so
far as we are aware, has ever pro-
posed to make criticism of the Presi-
dent punishable as lese- neUeste. Ex-
Secretary Boutwell,, who was a
member of cabinet that was as bit
terly criticised as any that has been
IN office since the war, ought to be
able to make allowance for the excess
of censure to which politics will car
ry men. Much of the criticism of
President Mckinley is of this charac
ter. Those who charge him in one
breath with having a policy that is
not that Of the country, charge him in
the other with having no policy at all.
We are told, moreover, that he is
usurping the power of Congress by
the very men who the next minute
say he ought to act on their views
and theirs exclusively, without regard
to what Congress may say or do.
This is fair implication of what they
say; for not only did the Senate ratify
the treaty by which the Philippines
were coded TO us, but both branches
passed the bill which appropriated
$50, 1000, 900 with which we paid Spain
the money consideration involved in
the cession. These facts show plainly
enough that when Congress ad journed
it regarded the Philippines as our
overwhelmingly.

All previous high records will be
broken by the corn crop of the United
States of 1899. A canvass of the eight
States which raise most of the corn of
the United States warrants an estimate
above that of 1896, which heretofore
has been the record, and there is much
in the advices received to Justify a
prediction that the crop will approx
innate $500, 900, 600 bushels. The first
crop of the country to reach 1000, 0OO,-
900 bushels was that of 1885. Includ-
ing the crop now to be harvested, only
nine crops of 1900, 100000 bushels or
over, have been produced. Of the
great corn producing States, Kansas
will lead all with 0,oOo, 900 bushels,
estimated; Nebraska will have 31O,-
900, 900; Iowa, 260, 900, 200, and Illinois,
$50, 100000.

Some of the state papers are ad-
vocating a change in the fish laws of
Vermont whereby the month of Aug
ust shall be taken off from the open
season for trout. Every sportsman
knows that a big per cent. of the trout
taken from the small ponds and
streams in August are heavy with
eggs, and unfit for use. If we would
protect our fish, the suggestion to
make the open season shorter is emil
nently oper.-HardaUick Gazette.

Is all this great preparation the sud-
den breaking out Of hero worship?
Do we forget that we have had a
Grant and Farragut? Why this
mighty burst of enthusiasm for
Dewey, and is it genuine? It certainly
is, for there is not man, woman or
child in the land who looks upon the
picture of the great hero Of Manila
but that is struck with admiration.
Though the great battle of Manila was
sublime and mighty achievement
in itself, this alone would not account
for the nations enthusiasm. There is
an innate modesty in the man that
captivates. There is a benign and
fatherly expression in his counte
nance that is intensely pleasing. 1t
is unconscious greatness robed in the
simplicity of child. Men are largely
dependent for success upon their mag
netisms. In all that Dewey has done
and spoken since that famous Sum
day morning fight at Manila, he has
never slipped nor stopped once. There
must be a splendid equipoise in his
nature, and everybody seems to feel
that after he has seen Dewey he has
seen man.
Then, too, we may expect some
word from him as to our policy in the
Philippines. He doubtless knows the
kind of men we are dealing with in
timately. A word from him will
count nightly with the people, and
may influence the president greatly
in his course. But he will never say
retreat. That would not be Dewey

A pendulum 300 feet long was
used in the Masonic Temple, Chi
osgo, November IL, for an expert.
ment. Prof. Bevis, of the Armour
Institute, demonstrated with its
use the well.known experiment Of
Foucault. The deviation from
the laws of gravity was demon
strated by means Of the pendu-
lum. This deviation is caused By
the rotation Of the earth, and in
the few minutes that the pendu-
lum swung it had begun TO re-
volve in a horizontal circle, which
should have been completed in
thirty six hours of constant
motion had the heavy ball been
allowed to swing that long. The
weight and motion Of the pendu-
lum was neither accelerated nor
retarded except by the influence
of gravity and the atmosphere.
Three hundred feet of wire was
used in suspending the weight.

The Iowa regiment, after an alb.
sence of eighteen months, has re-
turned from the Philippine is-
lands to it's native state. During
their absence thousands Of people
were eager to read or hear any
lnewa, however trivial, that came
,flom the Philippines. Among the
papers that purported to give
careful and accurate reports. the
NoDpareil stood easily first. 1t
publishes columns and columns Of
exclusive news, received by letter
from correspondents. It was the
first to announce the arrival of the
Senator at San francisco, and
from that time on was the center
of all information that was the re-
ceived from the regiment in re-
guard to its homeward journey.
The arrival OF the regiment in
Council Bluffs was one of the
greatest occasions the state has
over known, and the issue Of The
Nonparetl on that date contained
more accurate and important his.
tory, more graphic pictures ard
illustrations than can b found
in any issue of any other PAPER
that purported to give an account
of that occasion. :.
