With the assistance and votes of q
majority of the republican members of
,ongress,and in opposition to the wishes
and votes of a majority of the
democratic members of Congress, Cleve-
land created conditions which enabled
him to sell many millions of bonds at q
premium of three per cent to his Wall
Street associates. These Wall Street
operators have drawn interest on the
bonds since they were issued and now
Mckinley, acting through Secretary
Gage, is buying these same bonds back
from these Wall street people at a
premium Of 10 per cent, making net
gain for the syndicate, in addition to
interest, oft9 per cent. It is more than
probable the Mckinley administration
will have to sell bonds before the end
of another twelve months to get back
the money it is now turning over to
Wall Street.

TEST OF 1owA's MULCT LAW.
Its Validity May Go for Decision to tn,
Highest Court.

Sioux City, Ia, Nov. PA. d.
Breuner recently commenced suit to
close up seven saloons here under the
Martin mulct law. The attorney for
the defense now sets up the claim
that the law is in violation of the fed
eral constitution and asks for trans.
fer to the federal court. He bases
the claim on the ground that the law
provides that anyone who violates its
provisions may be prosecuted Grimm
ally, his stock confiscated and himself
enjoined from engaging In the bust
ness again, and that private individ-
uals may push prosecutions without
the consent of the authorities.
The defense claims that these things
do not constitute due process of law
for depriving citizens of their property
and that they are thus denied the
right of jury trial for penal offenses.
A ruling Of the court may furnish
ground for a test of the matter in tho
court of last resort

u
The home defenders of South Africa
are continuing their war against Eng
land with great skill and bravery.
The siege Of the beleaguered English
cities still continues, and the armies
sent to their relief are obliged to fight
at dreadful cost of life, for every mile
of ground they gain. The last fight, of
which we have any account at this
writing, took place at Grss Pan, south
of Kimberley; and while the Beers seem
to have been obliged to retreat, the
Ninth Lancers, a splendid regiment of
English cavalry sent in pursuit, had
not returned when the English account
of the battle was made public, while
BoeF accounts of the battle assert that
the Ninth Lancers had been surround
ed and captured.

Saloons in Iowa.

j
State Auditor Merriam has compiled,
for his forthcoming annual report, the
first statistics on the saloon business
ever made in the state. From the in
vestigations made by the Auditor, it is
shown that no less than AZ counties
have legalized the open saloon, under
the provisions of the present mulct law.
In these AZ counties there are 1880 So
looms, which pay an annual tax of more
than million of dollars to the towns,
cities and counties of the state. 1t
seems to be all right for the republican
party to enact and enforce local option
high license law, but the woods and
prairies would resound with the pro-
tests and lamentations of certain class
of voters if the democrats were respon-
sible for present conditions.
