Cuba, was engaged to-day in the presentation 10
Army officials Of plans for the organization Of

duties similar 20 those OF the gendarmes OF Euro
pean countries. He thinks the force could be

the American soldiers now employed there. 1T

the intention was that It should be oflcered by

Mr.. Murphy, speaking editorially
of the reception and of the Philippine
question. says: The invited guests
condemned it quite as earnestly as
their German-American hosts and it
was agreed that 1t was not partisan
but a patriotic question And further
along he says Mr.. White, after the
meeting, assured the writer, Mr.. MUIR
ply, that he regarded the question as
the paramount issue before the coun-
try So here we have it stated in the
same editorial first that the question is
not a political question at ALL which
can mean only that it is not an issue
between political parties, and next that
Mr.. White considers it the paramount
issue now before the country We
leave Mr.. Murphy to reconcile these
statements at his leisure, but we can
not dismiss the subject without con-
graduating the Germans of Dubuque
on their good taste in refusing TO per-
nit their social organizations TO be
used as instruments for the advance
ment of political parties and candi-
dates" The meeting appears to have
been used as a '.catspaw' by Mr. Muir.

The Davenport Times observes that
While the Chicago packers do not as
yet own the earth. it is certain that
they Will hold a warranty deed to a
goodly portion of it if they continue
their presnt investment in that dlrec-

Just think of it, exclaims the Sioux
City Tribune. Dewey can have any
thing he wants for the asking. provid
ing it be at the disposal of his fellow
countrymen. But then, one of the most
conspicuous elements of his greatness
is his modesty.'
The Keokuk Gate City thinks the

nothing for itself ex aept 10 sco.ch TO

In reading the tribute to Dewey by
Governor Roosevelt in the October Nc
Cures one is led to believe that Dewey,
secured his command Of the Asiatic
squadron by virtue of his ability to buy
coal. We are afraid that the governor
meant we'll, but was somewhat hurried
when he prepared the article.

has given rise TO many remarks about
the extraordinary easy circumstances
now being enjoyed by the farmer but
we noticed q peculiar feature about the
crowd that attended the Wild West
show in Marshalltown last week that
leads us on to further reflections.
In passing along the streets that day
we noticed hundreds ana Hundreds of
vehicles stacked along the pavement
fronting each livery or feed barn. OF
course every such place was sorely
taxed and the grouping Of vehicles in
the streets early became q necessity. Ii
seemed as If The entire population of
the county had been on the move that
day. but the most significant thing
about the whole sight was. the fact that
out of all those vehicles not a single
lumber" wagon was 10 beseen. Every
farmer that came To town, and they all
seemed to have done so Was equipped
with j buggy of some kind, many ovn-
ing as fine carriages as are seen on the
streets of any city. 1t reminded us of

walk, be Jasus.'

step that will win the approval of the

who will deserve well from the govern

that the war will soon cease in the
Philippines and that the force on the

danger will not be great. The greatest
hazard is that which may come from
possible i'll health, for ii is known that
disease carries off more than bullets

yet it is useful 1t makes a better man
