ABOUT WATER RATES.

From the sTabulated statement of
water rates reported by the leading
cities of iowa." compiled by H. f.
Brown, water commissioner, and dated
March /, 1899, it appears that the aver
age rate for those cities that enjoy
municipal ownership is, figured in one
hundredths of q cent, for 100 gallons
daily or less, .3s. For those cities
which have their water furnished by
private companies the rate for the
same daily quantity is, on the aver
age, So The municipal companies
average rate for from 100 to 500 gall
Ions daily is SO; the private compa-
MES rate for the same quantity is IA.
When it comes to larger quantities the
difference in the rates is even greater.
Municipal companies charge an aver
age of III for from 1000 to 5000 gal
Ions, while the private companies
charges average only 10. -
1t is apparent from these figures
that water is furnished to Iowa cities
far more cheaply by private companies
than by public plants. Does Ottumwa
wish to tax herself heavily to build
or buy n municipal water works plant,
and then, in addition to this, pay a
higher rate for her supply of water?

THE PIONEERS.
From Thursdays Daily.

The annual reunion of the Wapello
County Old Settlers association which
is being held today in Fullen's grove
at Agency, brings together a class OF
splendid citizens. They are the men
and women who built up this county
and this state. They came here when
the country was an absolute wilder
ness Many of them knew these prai-
ries when they were obliged to share
them with the Indian and the wolf.
They meet today to talk over old times
and. to congratulate themselves, as well
they may, upon the splendid outcome
Of their thrift and industry.
Too few of us realize the debt we
owe these pioneers. They are a hardy
race, combining many of the virtues
with few of the faults of manhood and
womanhood.i The task that lay before
them, when they entered these wilds,
has been nobiy discharged, In spite of
all obstacles, in spite of all discour-
agements. they kept steadfastly at
work until the problems which con-
fronted them We're solved. Their
-watchwords were progress" and Sen
terprise.' They believed in going
ahead, in never saying die. The result
Of their efforts is before us.
We, who are sons and grandsons of
these men and women, should profit
by their example. Their thrift, their
industry and their integrity should be
inherited by MS, and become part of
the lines upon which we model our
lives. We should be proud of the pic,
neer blood which flows in our veins,
and should endeavor to be worthy
of it.
I Let us be glad to honor the pioneers
of Wapello county, for in all the world
there is no more honorable name than
that of Pioneer"

this was all he said:

date, Sept. A. Very truly yours,

To some men that wouil not have
seemed adequate. Mr.. Reed is singu-
larly free of gush in all dealings with
himself Most men, if they have been
long time in one place, feel some
flashes of sentiment when they come
to leave it, and are likely 20 disclose
themselves to the pu0lic il they have
occasion to speak or write about it.
1T rather seems gracious 10 say that
kindness and confidence ;hat have
been interrupted for years and years
are remembered and will always be.
That is the way most men find apollo
gy for speaking of themselves unde.
the circumstances OF parting. But Mr..
Reed has never done anything in this
line, and he probably never will. He
is notia suppliant. He rever holds out
his hand to invite charity He goes on

protection For rrainmen,

The Rockwell City Advocate, refer
ring to the murder of brakemen near
Marshalltown, says:
This brings up a point raised by a
Northwestern brakeman in conversa-
ton with the writer couple of
months ago. He said that the lives of
the men are in constant danger from
the hoboes who want to ride. The
company gives strict orders to put all
such off the train. but at the same
time brakemen have no authority to
carry weapons to defend themselves in
an emergency. such as this case pre-
sents. The brakeman made strong
protest against the injustice of the sit
uation. He said that if he allows
tramps to ride he is likely to be dis
charged, but if he takes extreme
measures to put them off he may be
killed. 1t would be no more than JUS
tice to allow trainmen some measure
of protection in cases of this character,
and the tragedy near Marshalltown
last week forcibly emphasizes the gerat
danger in which they are placed. Is
not this proper subject for legislative
action? ,

Former Chnlrman Irancocl.

Burlington Hakweye: BY reason of
his own choice and in spite of the en-
treaties of his friends, and republic
cans generally, to remain, Mr.. Ham
cock has surrendered the chairmanship
OF the republican state central com
mittee, pleading as his excuse for so
doing the imperative demands of his
private business upon his time. His
remuneration of leadership is especial
ly regretable at this time when it was
hoped to have the benefit of his past
experience in campaigning. Whilst he
was not a self-heralded Napoleon of
chameleonic brilliancy, he brought to
the state committee the ripe expert
ence, broad knowledge and sturdy
ability requisite in a leader of men.
He is entitled to the thanks of the peo-
pie of Iowa, irrespective of party, for
his self-sacrificing devotion to duty in
giving of his time and talent for their
good.
1t is a matter for graduation that,
though retiring as its head, he, will

spired by their candidate. But the
latest development would seem to in
dictate that both propositions may be
true. We refer to remarkable inter
view with Mr.. A. b. Cummins, pub
lished in the, Chicago Tribune of the
2sth inst, where, with one breath and
in evident full command of all his
suavity and nonchalance, he kindly re-
lieves the members of the next Iowa
house of representatives from all re-
'sponsibility or voice in the organiza-
ton of that body. The report says:
Mr.. Cummins spoke freely concern
ing the organization of the house. He
favors W. l.. Eaton, of Usage. for
speaker, and said: Il am inclined to
believe that his selection will be as
good as made within the next few
weeks"
If Mr.. Eaton entertains any idea of
being a candidate for. speaker, that
most estimable of gentlemen is pecu-
liarly unfortunate in the manner of
announcing his candidacy. Think of
it. on the 27th of August, one with no
expectation of being member, upon
whom both good taste and Judgment
unite i'll enjoining silence, heralds to
the world the name of the presiding
officer of a body, forty-two (nenrly a
majority of whom remain to be nom
mated, and all of whom are yet to be
elected, and which will not convene un-
til the second Monday of January A..
D., 1900.
We can imagine the effect OF this
mis- tr,n ~. ],.,< 4
tricts that have yet to choose their
candidates: we can conceive the recep-
ton it will meet with at the hands of
a body every member of which remains
to be elected.
In the light of this latest personal"
and Official declaration OF their can
didate. we are prepared to absolve the
managers" from responsibility for
many of the things we have charged
up against them.

WORK FOR THOSE WHO WANT IT.

Davenport Democrat: Not in years
has the call for labor been more gen
eral or more widespread than it is
at this time. In the cities and in
the countries it is the same; there is
work for men who have the strength
and willingness to do it. OF course,
there is not the particular job thai
everyone would select, nor is the pay
just what the workman would make
it if he could have it his way; but new
er since the world began has there
been a perfect millennium.
Perhaps, according to population,
Davenport, Rock Island and Moline
come as near being an exception to
the rule. as any locality in the north
west, and times have been much worse
here than they are now, and many
more have been out of employment.
The reason for this state of affairs is
i'll the limited work done at Rock ISL
and arsenal. A year ago nearly 5000
hands were on the rolls; today there
are hardly one-fifth as many. The
war made rush work and this brought
hundreds of both skilled workmen
and everyday laborers to this center.
Some of these have remaineds and
possibly not all of them found other
desirable places. But The plow factor

WA. GARRISON AND THE SAVAGE.

W;h. IAhRIoOiN NM LII SeAN AGE.
The Hon. VIM. Lloyd Garrison, in his
speech before the gathering of anti
imperialists at Mystic, Conn.,, the other
day, denounced Governor Theodore
Roosevelt of New York as savage. 1t
seemed Ito trouble Mr.. Garrison be-
cause so, many people show a DISPOSE
tion to admire this sort of sayagery.
To most people, however, it is little
difficult TO see how they can do any
thing but admire it.
Theodore Roosevelt was born with
extraordinary opportunities for a life
of luxury. Instead of taking advan-
tage of these opportunities, however,
he went. Immediately after his educa-
ton was complete. out into the world
lie has led an active life among all
Glasses of people. He has been cowl
boy on the western plains, soldier
iirs Cuba, and-has filed with ability, a
high official position at Washington.
He. mas, IN short. mingled with the
various kinds of life OF this growing
country as have few other men.
Mr.. Garrison. on the other hand,
born with much the same opportunities
and educated at the same university.
has led an entirely different life. He
has confined himself to his study. He
has learned much from books, but very
little from actual contact with the real
world.
The difference in the point of view
deyelopea by the courses which these
two men have pursued is well illustrat-
ed by their attitude on the Philippine
question. Theodore Roosevelt is an
eNpansionist. He believes that this
country should not stop in its march
of progress but should assist the Chris
tian and enlightened nations in spread
ing civilization throughout the world.
This is the outcome of his life of ac-
tiyity.
William Lloyd Garrison is an anti
eNpaEsionist. Awed by the tremen-
!dous completely of the problems which
a policy of expansion presents, he
wishes the United States to shirk her
duty to the rest of the world, and to
continue seltishly in her old well-beat-
en- paths. This is the natural view of
a timid man of sedentary habits. 1t
tisgs not the point of view of man OF
propress and enterprise.
Undoubtedly. Mr. Garrison has a
ri@l1t to his opinions, and, provided he
guards the expression of them so that
they will work no harm to his govern
ment he should not be molested. New
ertheless he should also realize that
Theodore Roosevelt and the many who
think MS he does. have a right to their
vi .ws. If Mr.. Garrison applies the term
savage" to Mr.. Roosevelt, neither he
nor his friends should be offended if
sometimes harsh terms are applied to
them.

came on, he was soon at the sront,

distinguishing himself oy courage, fl

DESERVING DEMOCRACY.

The tide continues to flow away
from democracy, and almost every
day brings news of the desertion of
the party by some prominent member.
One instance is that of ex-Mayor Will
liam r. Grace, of New York, formerly
one Of the most prominent and pro-
nounced supporters of the free trade
policies of Grover Cleveland In a re-
cent conversation with party of
prominent New York democrats, Mr..
Grace dropped this bomb into the dem
ocratic ranks:
st, myself, within the past year,
have changed my views completely,
and I say to YOU that / am now con.
WINGED that the prosperity and stipend
Gus growth of this country is due in
no small measure to the principle
which is at the bottom of the policy OF
protection"
This was bad enough. in all con-
science. but when pressed by his
friends for an explanation of his
change of front on the tariff question
Mr.. Grace, neatly finished the job by
saying in the presence of a reporter,
and with the knowledge thatlit would
be printed:
Yes, did tell Gen. Tracy that, and
I have recently felt free to say it to
others. was never ashamed of my
convictions when they were in per-
feet sympathy with the tariff views
expressed by Mr.. Cleveland in his
famous message and with those held
by the great body of the democratic
party. and am not ashamed now to
say that in the light of recent events
1 have completely changed those
views and now see, as I believe, clear
ly, that the amazing growth in all
that makes for permanently prosperous
conditions and in all influences that
have so recently established the United
States as first power among the ma
tons of the world, not only politically
but financially and commercially, is
due in great measure to the policy OF
protection. | never dreamed that the
time would come when would be
willing to make an admission of this
kind."-

Marshalltown Times-Repnblican: Com
parsons between the democratic and
republican tariffs show striking diff
ferences. 1t is five years since the Will
son tariff law went, into effect, after
ten months spent in. its preparation.
During the fiscal year ended on june
30. 1895, the exports were $sO7, 53s, 1865
and the imports S731, 969,965, an in
crease in imports but decrease in en-
ports under the operation of the demo-
cratic law. When President Mckinley
and republican congress came into
power the Dingley tariff was substitute
ed, and since then the imports have
decreased and the exports rapidly in
creased, until during the last fiscal
years the imports of merchandise were
$616.049,654. While the exports were
81, 231 ,4s2,33O, nearly double the
amount. The market for American
goods abroad is now over $500, 900. 900

first year the Wilson tariff was in ef-
feet.

OUR LANGUAGE.

i4B The Courier publishes in this
weeks issue, a communication from
Hon. John w. Lewis, of this city, in
which he takes umbrage at some edi-
torial comments which have appeared
in this paper relative to the so-called
anti-imperialists. Mr.. Lewis objects
because the Courier called the men
who are opposing the course of the adj
ministration in the Philippines, "Amer-
lean Malays," and insinuated that GER
Stain of their acts We're tinge6 with
treason. He asks if "such language is
calculated to- justify the presidents
course, or TO win votes to the republic
can party
The Courier is truly sorry that Mr..
Lewis has taken it's comments so to
heart. AS to justifying the presidents
course. we are glad TO say that Mr.
McKinley's policy needs no iustifca-
zion from our hunlsls pen. The conf
dence 81 his people alil the knowledge
that 'he is in the right, are justifica-
ton enough for the able executive of
the United States.
As to winning voters 10 the republi-
can party, the Courier begs leave to
say that, though it is strict party
paper, it is not always engaged in the
business of winning voters to the re-
publican party. 1t has other objects,
and one of these is to express it's hon
est convictions on the issues of the
! day.
lnasmuch as Mr.. Lewis has criti-
cized the Courier's language, he will,
) perhaps, allow us to call attention to
some of his. In his communication,
Mr.. Lewis said: .rhe war which we
are now carrying on against the Fill
ipino, is largely the individual enter
prise of the president and his advisers"
Does Mr.. Lewis believe that state
ment?. If he does believe it, does he
think that anyone who troubles him
self to consider the matter shares the
opinion with him? We can hardly
thinl. so.
That statement means that President
/ Mckinley is bctraying his rustic the
American people, and that he is break
his oath OF, office. To accuse the pres
ilent of republic of carrying on a
war as an individual enterprise" is
to accuse him of making himself the
government, of creating dictatorship.
surely Mt. Lewis does nor mean TO say
that this is what President Mckinley
is doing. We prefer to believe that tile
statement referred to was slip of the
pen, or was unintentionally extrava-
giant.
We are, however, not finding fault
with Mr.. Lewis. He is at liberty, in
common with all American citizens, to
hold whatever opinions he chooses, OF

les and other industries in the three
cities are much larger employers of
labor than they were a year ago. And
SO the, loss on the one side may be
nearly made up on the other.
In speaking of the call for labor ref

without exception about the shortage.
