Consul Diedrich of Magdeburg says
that Germany is giving much attention
TO the tropical belongings of the Unit
ed States. Owing to the small home
consumption, Germany is obliged to
find foreign markets for two-thirds of
its production of beet sugar, and most
of this has hitherto been exported to
the United States. The great problem
for many German manufacturers at
present is: When Cuba, the Philippine
Islands and Porto Rico increase their
production of cane sugar so as to sup
ply the United States, what will be-
come of the large surplus of German
beet sugar? And echo answers;
What? For it is not only the cane SUI
gars of tropical America, but the beet
sugar of the northwest and west that
will cut off competition.

The Filipino junta at Hongkong is
out with a Filipino version of affairs
in Manila. Drawing upon their mag
nations they evidently put down to
the Americans what would have hap
pened in the city if the Filipinos had
got the upper hand. Aguinaldo and
his emissaries will depend upon this
style of dispatch to win sympathy
from the unthinking and the preju-
diced. General Otis and his gallant
soldiers will overcome this prejudice
and their conduct will be indicated,
but fighting against ca!umny is hard
er work than fighting against cannon
and rifles. There are no people more
facile in inventing false evidence than
the aborigines of the east, and the dash
of Spanish blood in the Filipinos has
not helped their truth telling very
much

MATERNITY HOME.

One of the most worthy institutions
in the city is the Maternity Home The
report of this establishment is pub
lished in today's issue and shows that
it is in fairly fourishing condition as
regards funds. But, like all similar in
situations it needs considerable i'm
prOvement, not so much in the method
of conducting it, as in more conven-
lent buildings and many necessary re-
pairs.
1t may not be generally known that
the land and Buildings are the prop
erty of the Queen Dowager, who has
donated them rent free for the benefit
of the institution. She has also shown
her generosity in many other ways and
takes a great interest in the progress
of the work.
That the institution has done excel
lent work no one will deny. 1t was a
great want in the city and probably no
place of it's size was so long without an
institution of this kind. From the bal
ance sheet it appears that the place is
economically managed, and from the
list of cases they are evidently well
treated, for only one death is report
ed, and that from pneumonia.
1t is to be hoped that funds enough
will come in to enable the committee
to make the repairs and improvements
necessary. The Maternity Home does
not ask much in the way of funds.
Probably $4,000 would do all that is
required, and of this a considera BILE
moiety is now in hand. 1t is a good in
stitutiOn and deserving of support

Nicaragua is not going to behind in
the procession and has started it's reg
ular revolution. If these revolutions
could be conducted without interfering
with the property and business of the
American and British merchants, no
one would interfere between the bare
footed regiments of each aspirant for
the presidential honors. But it is not
so and the consequence is that Ameri-
can and British men of war have 10
hasten to the scene, and it generally
ends in an occupation of Bluefelds,
and a good deal of diplomatic negotia-
ton. Then there is a paying up of
damages by hypothicating the customs
and the Nicaraguan government sinks
out of sight till the next fracas occurs.
Whoever heard of Bluefields except
when there is little row on. There is,
however, a large trade there in trop-
ical products which go to the United
States and Europe.

There is to be new time card on

Mr.. E. f. Kerwin will in all pro-
liability be in Marshalltown all next

New Factory Assured.

The committee which has been so.
Letting subscriptions for the Acme
Manufacturing Co., has met with a
hearty response from the citizens of
Oskaloosa, and as a result the location
of the plano in this city is now an as
sured fact. Mr.. Hughes and a force
of men are at work making the old
Power House building ready for i'm
mediate occupancy. He and one or
two others are planning to build resi-
dences this fall, and about dozen
houses will be needed by the employees
before January 1st. In addition to
this, favorable negotiations are pend
ing with large knit goods manufac-
tory which will employ from 200 to
500 hands, for the location of their
plant herein the vicinity of the Acme
Manufac uring Co. s site. If obtained
this will bring over 1000 people to
Oskaloosa, and will place property in
the south part of town at a decided
premium.
Shrewd investors have not been un-
mindful of these significant facts, and
the already great interest which has
been shown in" Southside, 1.-THE pr ,tty
suburb lying just to the south and
west of these new factories, has been
still further enhanced. The streets
have been graded and will be opened
before snow flies. More trees will be
planted, thereby adding materially to
the beauty of the addition, and every
thing will be put in first-class order.
Already number of the owners of
"Southside" lots have decided to at
once erect neat houses to supply the
demand for renting property, which
is especially great in that location, as
the employees of these factories will
naturally want to live close TO their
work. No other investment seems to
promise such handsome profits on
such small outlay OF capital. The
young men who are saving a few dol
lars each month are especially inter
ested and are taking advantage of
this chance to realize a splendid in
terest on their small savings, or to
get good start for home of their

Chicago, Oct. 18.--The task of organ
izing a national league of anti-impe-
rialists to oppose the administration

The present conference will be of
two days duration. Mr.. Schurz was the

Wednesday night. No tickets will bs
required at any of the public meetings.
Expansion and imperialism will be
attacked from every side. Mr.. SchurZ
assailed these policies from the con-
stitutional standpoint, and Mr.. Atkin-
son will try to show them wrong on
humanitarian grounds. The many
anti-expansion and anti-fmperialist
leagues which have been working indi-
vidually are to be united into central

New York, Oct. 16.-Members of the
chamber of commerce in this city have
been invited by the London chamber
of commerce to be its guests at din
ner at the earliest date convenient to
the New Workers. The object of the
dinner is to promote international COM
ity between Great Britain and the
United States. AS the London associa-
ton has a membership of 1900, includ-

ternational significance, will be one OF
the largest and most notable public af-
fairs of the kind during the present
era.
The dinner will probably take place
in the height of London's season, which
will make it about the middle of June.
A representative delegation has indi-
Gated a desire 10 be present.

Il PRACTICAL ILLUSTRATION.
John Laughlin of West Des Moines
township gives a practical illustra-
ton of what the republican admin
istration has done for him and WHY
he is working for the success of the
republican party this fall. Three years
ago he brought to town a fine horse
five years old, fattened and in good
condition and could get only $50 for
1t. This week he brought to town a
full brother of the horse, FIVE years
old, in good condition, but not fat
tened, and had no trouble in secur-
ing 500 in gold for him. Here is a
net increase of 4C- per cent, and he
avs nearly everything he has for
sale goes at like increase. Mr..
Laughpn thinks the farmer who
would vote for Fred White this wear.
or for any other candidate on the
de bcratic ticket, would be making
the mistake OF his life. There is too
much at stake TO hazard change or
in any way encourage the demo-
cratic party, which is this wear
pledged to 10 to and other theories
that would be equally damaging to
welfare OF the country.

CITY CLERK

The City Council susprised them
selves as well as everybody else in
closing up the contest by the election
of w. P Hawkins city clerk. Mr..
Hawkins had not been a candidate,
and had never thought of such a
thing until the minute his name was
taken up and voted upon. AS stated
by Mr.. Hawkins before the deciding
ballot was cast he will rot be able
to do the work personally, but he as
sumed the responsibility and that is
equivalent to saying that the work
will be well done. With w. Il. Wray
in the Mayors's chair and w. p.
Hawkins in charge of the clerks Of
fee, city affairs are in good hands,
and everything that comes under
their supervision will be cared for in
the best possible way.
