DELAYED RAILROAD WORK
IFt. Dodge Messenger.1

The rain in the early part of the
season is showing its effects more plain
ly at the present time among the rail-
road contractors in this part of Iowa.
BY reason of the rain all work on the
new lines was greatly delayed. In addi-
ton to the delay there was more or less
sickness among the men and many of
them left, so that the contractors had
a smaller force than was REQUIRED when
the weather finally became settled. The
work was pushed with v,gor as the con-
tracts We're time limit contracts, man.

the work by Aug. /. But the late start.

needed has made 1t impossible to have

line of the Fort Dodge & Omaha George

The new lines of the Nj. & ST. L. at

rainy weather. high water. injunctions
\ and all of the other kindred troubles
incident to building new road, but are
! now up against a new piece of trouble
| which is unheard of in railroad circles.
The farmers in that part of the country
where the new lines are being built are
| having a hard time to secure men TO
/ help them harvest their grain. They
have raised the price of labor to $50 a
month and board, and, together with
visions of fried chicken and pie, the

/ proven too great and he has registered
his name with the man of hay and corn.
much to the chagrin of the contractors,

do a piece of work he had to abandon

MARRIAGE ON SMALL sAEARY.

MARRIAGE ON SMALL SALARY.
A discussion has been going on in the
Chicago Tribune in regard to the policy
of marrying on small wages, as u re-
suit of the grievance committee of the
federation of labor looking into the
charge that a leading firm in Chicago
had discharged men who proposed to
marry under such conditions. 1t was
found that the firm had merely coun-
seled with them and cautioned them.
The discussion by various contrib
utors disclosed a variety of opinions,
generally against marriage on a small
salary. One of the most important
communications on the subject was
sent in by lady and was based on ex-
perience, and we should say, good
judgment. She declared that 1T did not
depend upon the amount of the salary
to form a happy union, but it did de-
pend upon the use of the salary pre-
vious to marriage. She said further
with good, common sense: IF man
does not have enough interest in his
future home and wife to save some OF
his money and prepare that home he
should ask no woman to marry him
If he spends his entire salary before
marriage when he is in pursuit of a
home and wife he will not be a good
provider for that home when it is in his
possession" In other words, mar
must have accumulated enough to fur
nish a home, even If it be a rented one
and this experience in economizing will
enable him to be PR ip his expend.

HAS OTIS FA1LEr

The Marshalltown mes-Republican
mas come to the conclusion that Cen
Otis is failure" The MarshailtoWn
paper might as well have waited a
while longer. The country" is not as
certain that Cen Otis is failure as it
was few weeks ago. 1t Is always
easy to find fault and a general who
does not succeed Immediately is apt to
be condemned by the American people.
But what are the mistakes that Gen.
Otis has made? Has he lacked cour-
age? Does he lack experience In
neither one of these respects is he lack
ing. He is as brave a soldier as fought
in the civil war. His rank is fourth
in the United States army He holds
his position in the Philippines solely on
account of that rank. Miles and Merritt
and Brooke are the only men who OUT
rank him.-Cedar Rapids Republican.
The Republicans query might have
been more pertinent had it asked Has
| Otis succeeded?" and as frankly
answered the question.
With a general commanding an army
the position is always peculiar. He is
appointed not because he is drawer than
all others nor because he has been
longest in the service, but he is ap-
pointed for a purpose-that is, to win.
From time immemorial generals have
been elevated to command for that pur-
pose and have been as quickly retired
when they failed to succeed. Gen. Otis

variety of seed the time and manner of

An Honor to MI. Clnbangh.

1t is regarded as practically set
tied in Washington that President
Mckinley will appoint Attorney-Gen-
eral Harry NJ. Clabaugh, of Maryland,
to the vacancy which will be
caused on the bench of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia
when Judge McComas resigns to take
his seat in the senate on March next.
The appointment will be high hon
or to Mr.. Clabaugh and a compliment
to the State If Mr. Clabaugh pre-
fers the quiet retirement of position
on the bench to the more turbulent
experience of a political life which he
has undergone in recent years, the
Ne1OS is sincerely glad that his ambi

realization. AS Acknowledgement,
the only public office which Mr.. Cla-
baugh has ever filed, he has been an
effective and capable officer. The
business of his Office has always been
quite up to date, and it has been his
endeavor to protect to the utmost
degree the interests of the State and
it's citizens. As a politician he has
been of great use to his party. From
his first efforts as Chairman of the
State Central Committee, his whole
purpose seems to have been to bring
about clean politics in the republican
party.
