IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

The Glidden Graphic thinks Get out
the vote will be the campaign slogan
this fail. When people are contented
and prosperous they take but little in
terest in elections
The Keokuk Gate City declares The
board of control is right not TO let the
Anamosa convicts boss the state. The
board of control is wrong in trying to
reform the convicts from the use of to-
bacco. That is the nonsense of a crank. :"
The Iowa City Republican remarks
that lit may happen one of these days
that the man who goes through the
slums and purlieus of cities hunting up
rotten midway freaks for street fairs,
will be met at the depot on his return
home with a kazoo band and loving
bucket of roof paint
According to the Clinton Herald
There seems to be no reason for the
order of the board OF control cutting
shutting butter. The prisoners do not
1 want butter, but they do want their
tobacco. The cost to the state is the
same hence there is no consideration of
I economy The board has done lots of
good work for the state, but it ought to
understand that meddling with little
administration cannot help weakening
confidence in the good judgment of its
members
The talk of running Prof. Geo. D
Heron. of Iowa college, for governor
on an out-and-out socialistic platform

1t is the opinion of the ottumw

UNANIMOUS FOR GOLD.

The Des Moines correspondent for the
Chicago Times Herald has prepared a
symposium of opinions from Iowa edi-
tors and republican leaders upon the
subject, What should the platform
be 2" Nearly all of the old wheel-hprses
responded, men who have been guiding
republican thought for years and the
result was fairly representative of the
party sentiment all over the state. For
this reason their views are exceedingly
interesting, even more so than the plat
form itself, which they doubtless fore
tell The most striking feature of the
8outburst of republican sentiment was
the almost unanimous call for national
Legislation establishing the gold stand
ard. In nearly every case the writer
made this the first and most important
clause in his platform and gold stand
ard legislation can not be to explicit
to suit them. There can be no doubt as
to where Iowa republicans stand on the
money question.
With one accord these various indie
pendent platforms unite in congratula-
ting the party upon the glorious pros
perity their state is enjoying and the
administrations Of Governor Shaw and
President Mckinley, with his foreign
policy and all, are freely endorsed.
Some few want an antitrust plank in
| the platform. others have different
ideas which they think ought to be Civ
en- expression, but in the main Iowa re-
publicans want gold standard legisla-
ton, and they want it bad. They are
pleased with their president and their
governor and with themselves as they
have a right to be Judging from a
careful perusai of the many views the
| T.-R. in its expression of Saturday
came about as near suiting the repub-
lilicans of Iowa with platform as i
would be possible to do and every indi-
cation points toward the adoption of {
platform at Des Moines tomorrow along
the lines there laid down.

Weary Willie, Ragged Pete, Hungry

ers of the genus hobo" and many hon
est laborers spent Sunday in Sioux
City, lounging colnplacently about the
railroad yards. in out of the way places
where they would not likely be OBJ
served by the police. They were gath
cred about in crowds of from three to
dozen. and all looked well fed and
healthy. The gang was keeping a
sharp lookout for freight trains going
west, into South Dakota. 1t was con-
tingent of the annual migrating labor
ers, accompanied by lot of Lazy,
worthless followers. to the great grain
fields of the northwest. The men.
have been attracted by the bountiful
crop and the demand for hands in the
harvest fields. Big wages are being
offered. and Sioux City can expect to
see hundreds of men beating their way
to take advantage of the Inducements
Most of these men are used to hard
labor and not afraid of work. They
have Travelled many miles from the east
and south, where work for unskilled la
| Dor is not as plentiful at this season as
in the northwest.
The gang which arrived yesterday
probably in all number about 200. Along
the Milwaukee road, nearly as far as
/ Riverside, scores of the men could be
/ seen sitting on the rails or lying on the
grass awaiting the approach of the Mil
waukee trains. These travellers, who
make practice of beating their way
are very shrewd and took up points of
vantage on the grade. where they knew
the heavy freight would be compelled
4 to run slow, and that they would have
an opportunity to get aboard and then
take their chances of being put off by
the conductors and "brakies.'
/ AT o'clock III the evening a long
freight pulled out of the Milwaukee
4 yards. Most of the cars were empties.
and the .'hoboes" filled one stock car
to its capacity. Others climbed onto the
bumpers. The train was SO heavy that

three days old. had been left there
some time during the night, perhaps
early Friday morning ,as Mr.. and Mrs.
Runneln entertained company Thurs
day evening and retired at late hour.
Mr.. Runnels came to this city Friday
morning and notified County Auditor
Anderson of the facts, and as he did
not want to keep the child asked that
the authorities provide for 1t elsewhere
Accordingly Mr.. Anderson directed Mrs
Brooks, wife of Steward Brooks OF the
poor farm. to go after the child, which
she did, taking 1t to the poor Farm and
cared for it in the best possible manner

been without food for some time, as 1t

enough to cry. The little one, unwel-

MINING AT DUBUQUE.
dubuque Times.]
Assistant State Geologist Balm, who
came here few days ago to inspect
the Dubuque mines, said, before leav-
ing. that there was no place in the
northwest that had such mineral re-
sources. He was astonished at the ex-
tent OF the Pixies Peak mine, and re-
manned some time inspecting it. The
shaft. which is 1872 feet deep. is now
almost cleaned out, the large pumps
recently put in having drained the mine
of all the water; and with Its capacity
of pumping $4,000 gallons per hour,
there will be no trouble in keeping the
water from hereafter interfering with
operations. Capt. "A. W. Hosford and
others interested in the mine are well
satisfied with the prospects. There is
considerable lead ore in sight in both
ends Ge the drift. There Is force of
ten miners, who are working five hours
on each shift. and they work day and
night. 1t is expected that the men will
get down to the blackjack next Tues
day. In all, ninteen men are employed
at the mine and two teams are required
daily to haul coal from the city te
keep up steam" in the boilers attached
to the big pump. Capt. Hosford spends
| portion of his time every day at the
mine and during the past week num-
Der OF citizens have gone out to see the
mines.
