much pleased at the reception accorded

plainly.
The usual salutes were exchanged with
the forts. The shores were lined with
soldiers and civilians anxious to see the
gallant ship. and the British warships
at the dockyard were also crowded with
men as the Raleigh steamed in.
Preparations are being made by the mil

who won for the republican party its
first Doodle campaign and in re-
turn for which he was made post
master general, in recent letter to
the Ne,c York World, says of the
system he established:
SIN Philadelphia we have not had
an honest election for many years and
the debauchery of the ballot has ac-
quired the system and precision of a
science with the dominant socalled
Republican machine. This has not
been the growth of day or year, but
has been perfected by steady, sys-
tematic development of the most
minute details of original ingenuity.
The machine has educated It's follow
ers in election crime, rewarded them
according to their perfection in fraud
ulent arts and extolled and honored
the leadership which best knows how
TO devise and avail itself of corrupt
practices and protect and promote its
debauched tools and disciples.

IOWA STATE NEWS
A FRIGHTFUL STORY.
Judge Kline Visits Several County
Insane Asylums and Discovers
Some Terrible Things.

Judge L. G. Kline returned to Des
Moines from weeks visit to dozen
different asylums maintained for the
care of the insane. The law requires
the board of control to visit, annually.
such institutions as care for the insane,
but are not under jurisdiction of the
board, and to report to the legislature
on 1t. Judge Kline brings back some
frightful tales of neglect and cruelty
at some of the institutions, but some
others he reports to be caring for the
wards of the public as well, probably,
as is possible to have them cared for
outside the state institutions: Judge
Kline says:
''In one instance found patient chained
to the wall. The person was confined in a
room and was chained to the wall to pre-
vent escape, perhaps. In another institu-
tion 1 found a man and wife attempt
ing to cook and care for 70 people, in
sane and paupers. They received $50
month between them for the work. In
one institution / found the insane and the
paupers in the same building, the only
division being partition in a hall made
of the cover of a dry goods box. In one
place l found a zinc bathtub in room
without window or transom over the
window. The water to supply this tub had
to be carried from a well across the road,
and if warmed had to be heated on a stove
and carried up a stairway. In one place
found an average of three people bathing
in the same water.
These are merely samples of some of
the horrible things I saw" said the Judge
II do not want to name the institutions
where l saw these things until name them
in our report. The facts will then be pre-
scented in detail. l should say that of the
II or u places / visited some of them We're
kept in reasonably good condition and the
care was intelligently administered to the
inmates"

VALUABLE CLAY BANKS.
Iowa Falls Is Excited Over Discov-
cry Made Just West of the
City Limits.

The discovery, just made, of an ap-
parently inexhaustible supply of shale
and superior quality of clay just west
of the city limits of Iowa Falls has Gre
ated much interest and is attracting
the attention of those interested in the
manufacture of pottery and fire brick
and clay. This new discovery is found
along the banks of the Iowa river, near
where supply of superior grade of
TOMBSTONE was found few years back.
But this material was found to be so
badly broken that it's use was imprac-
ticable.
The announcement of this new dis
covery is made by the assistant state
geologist and by a man who has made
careful study of clays for several
years and who has visited all parts of
the state where such deposits are
found. He is in no way interested in
the new discovery, save in a scientific
way, and talks frankly of the material
he finds stored away in the hills along
the river. He says that it is the finest
quality of clay and shale to be found
in the state and is much larger deposit
than is found elsewhere. The utiliza-
ton of the material is practicable and
easy of access, and tests will be made
at once of the clay to prove its fitness
for use for earthenware and for fire
brick and clay. If this find is of the
quality that the geologist assigns it the
discovery will open up new industry
for Iowa Falls that will grow into a
business of magnitude.

COMMANDMENT OF cABE11o
VIII he Permitted by United States
If Lives and Property of For
eiEners Arc Not Endangered.

Washington, Nov. 13.-United States
Minister LOOMS has advised the state
department of the impending lombard
ment of Gen. Parade's forces in Puerto
Cabello by the forces of Gen. Castro.
The minister has evidently looked to
the department. for instructions and
these are to go forward at once. If it
shall appear that the bombardment
can be conducted without imminent
danger to life and property of foreign
ers and innocent people in Puerto Ca
bello, the minister will not interfere in
any way. On the other hand there
probably will be no objection to his
endeavoring to avert the bombardment
through peaceful representations di-
rected to the combatants. Meanwhile
the Detroit has arrived at Puerto Ca
bello from La Guarra and Commander
Hemphill will act in accord with the in
structions which have been given to
Minister Loomis.

Funston is an up-to-date imperialist.
He is not so foolish however, as to
claim that the Philippines are to be-
come the home of free American citi-
zens ueder our rule as our former ac-
QUESTIONS have done, but he comes out
boldly and says that the proper way to
deyelope them is to turn the industri-
es and franchises there over to our
syndicates and let them import con-
tract laborers from China to do the
work.
Under this magnanimous treatment,
we wonder how many centuries it will
take the Filipinos to become "be-
nevolently assimilated. The general
fails to tell also how the laborers and
farmers of America are to be benefited
by such plan.-Seneca (Ka1,.) Demo

In this country there are 10000, 900
more people and 100000 has cattle

So then the advance in the price of
meat is caused by the scarcity of beef
cattle and the increased number of
people who require meat, and not by
the tariff. Occasionly the truth Will
get away with one Of these high tariff
fellows in spite of efforts to suppress
it. We shall expect Bro. Webster to
get out eff this dilema by an attempt
to show that the tariff caused these
100000 births and that if the in
creased mouths can wait awhile for
food, it will supply them with the req
uisite supply of beef cattle.
