SOCIAL DEMOCRATS.
State Convention meets I'm OskaIOOsa
Friday, August 10.

Mr.. A. W. Kicker, of Lone Tree,
Iowa, state organizer for the social
democratic party, has been in the
city since Monday night arranging
for the state convention of Iowa So
cialists, which is to be held here on
Friday, August 10. The nomination
of Eugene V. Debs for president has
brought about a union of all social
istic organizations, the socialistic
labor party withdrawing it's nation
al candidate and accepting the sec
ond place on the ticket in the person
of Job Hartman, of California. In
addition to this, nearly all of the
middle-of-the-road populist forces
have united with the movement.
This is particularly true, says Mr..
Kicker, of eastern Iowa, where prac-
tically the entire organization has
amalgamated with the new move
ment. Exclusive of the old S. L. P,
which has been organized in this
state for four years, and is amalga-
mated with the movement, the So
c1al democracy has active organiza-
lions in nearly all counties east of
Des Moines, all the work of less than
two months. Among those who are
known throughout the state and are
connected with the movement, may
be mentioned Prof. Geo. D. Heron,
of Grinnell, now travelling in Europe,
but who will return for the cam
paign; Hon. Chas. A. Lloyd, peoples
party candidate for governor three
years ago, Rev. Chas. E. Brecken,
of Muscatine, prominently identified
with the state federation of labor,
John L. Rice of Monroe county, of
the mine workers, J. B. Welzenbach,
of Davenport, of the s. L. P, and a
host of union leaders of more or less
local renown in their own cities.
OskalOOsa was selected as the place
of meeting because its train connec-
tions, it was found, were the best of
any eastern Iowa city and could be
most conveniently reached.

der the direction of DIR. VIM. Salter,
for over fifty years pastor of the Con-
gregational church of Burlington, land
an old friend of the dead senator. He
was assisted by DR.. Hurlburt, pastor
of the First M. E. church. Congress-
man Thos. Hedge, of Burlington, one
of the closest and warmest friends of
Gear, delivered an Grafton over
the remains. 1t was a beautiful Gu
logy to the life work, character and
personality of the great Iowa states
man. The interment was private and
the procession to the cemetery was
shorn of all pomp and display. The
pail was borne by sons of the dead
senator's old friends in Burlington.
Burlington business houses and all
public offices were closed during the
services and all flags are at half mast.
Dull Week.
The merchants of the city are ex-
periencing dull week and it is pos
sible that the same conditions will
exist for some time. There is abso-
lutely no trade from the country on
account of the farmers being in the
midst of the harvesting season. On
the other hand all the commercial
travellers coming into the city tell of
increased orders all along the line
and it is predicted that there will be
greatly increaed trade this fall.
There will be good prices for the pro-
duce of the state and there will be
plently of coin in circulation and in
consequence there will be a greater
demand made on the trade places.

A Pen Picture of Cromwell,

a remarkable instance of modern
worship is found in the apothco-
sis Of Cromwell Carlyle began it, and
such men as Morley in England and
Roosevelt in America continue to sing
the praises OF their hero. 1t is aston
islning how easily the public are led
away from the hard basis OF fact into n
realm of the imagination. Father Nc
Dcrmot, the Paulist, with kccnncss
that belongs to his incisivc pen, lays
bare the true character Of Cromwell in
the Catholic World Magazine for July.
His estimate Of the man is given III the
following paragraph:
"Whcn man rises in a state through,
the violation Of the elementary prin-
ciplcs OF order he is public danger.
When he obtains power through the
profession of sanctity he destroys in all
active minds belief in the reality OF
religion. If to treason and impiety
you add a prctcnsc of patriotism, and
all this ends in dcspotism to which
the sincere patriot or the honest man
OF any kind must be offered as sacri-
flee, you have the whole career OF
Cromwell 1t is no wonder confusion
OF mind should take hold of the world,
that religion should become nothing
but priestcraft, that opposition to undue
exercise of authority should be stamped
out in blood lest it become rebellion,
that rebellion however criminal, be-
comes holy when successful. All this
has happened in connecting the name
Of an unscrupulous and ambitious ad-
vcnturcr with the purcst principles
which have ever moved the heart-libcr-
ty of conscience and civil liberty. On
this vulgar tyrant the forces of freedom
have put their crown. In America
land not merely dedicated to liberty,
but born of the spirit Of liberty, baptized
in the blood OF martyrs for liberty, we
find the same hidcous confusion OF
mind caused by the worship Of success"

this island by American drunkenness
reached its climax on the Fourth OF July
at Vedado, fashionable suburb Of
Havana. AS there was no formal cclc-
bration Of the day in Havana, great
many people had gathered in Vcdado
to witness some field day sports ar
ranged by the soldiers.
The Havana Post" an American
newspaper, thus reports and comments
upon the affair: at was source OF
genuine disappointment to the visitors,
American and Cuban, to witness the
disgraceful spectacle OF perhaps hun
dred drunken soldiers, many OF whom
were violently disorderly even to ell
gaging in fist-fghts and general brawls
in the presence and ostcnsibly under
the supervision Of the officers of the
batteries. 1t is doubtful if such dis
gusting and disgraccful spectacle has
ever before been offered the people OF
Cuba upon the occasion Of public
celebration. Late in the afternoon,
when the game OF baseball was i'll prog
rcss, fights were too numerous to count,
and nearly everybody who had gathered
expecting to sec higher class of out
door sports left i'll disgust. People had
had enough, and even those who had
contributed to the disgusting scenes ap-
pcared to realize that they, too, had had
surfeit of fun for one day, and sullcd
| away to their quarters, some too drunk
to walk and assisted by others little
stcadicr than themselves. 1t was re-
| pulsive sight for Our ladies, hundreds OF
whom were forced to view it from their
grandstand seats, and equally disgust
| ing to the stcrncr sex who love their
natal day. Small wonder is it that the
Cuban ladies who were present, to
whom such scenes are altogether un-
known, should have shown the rcvulsion
| OF feeling that many of them manifest
cd, and small wonder is it that Amcri-
can ladies blusl,cd with modification at
the indccencics OF the day"
Speaking upon the same subject of
drunkenness, the Havana Herald"
some time ago, indulged in the follow
ing severe arraignmcnt of its fellow
citizens: "rhc vile dcbaucicries of the
army OF occupation in its earlier his
tory in this city are responsible for
much of the change OF heart Cuba has
undergone towards our Government.
The drunken orgies OF some of Our Of
ficcrs were absolutely shameful, and
there has been a certain degree of repre-
hcnsibility on the part OF both military
and civil citizens from that day to this
i'll the direction outlined"
Two queries naturally arise: Are the
temperate Cubans and Filipinos going
to be materially benefited by contact
with us? Does not the presence of SOL
dicry tend greatly to the corruption of
| morals?

sort than this: "They (the Democrats)
stand for lawlessncss and disorder,
for dishonesty and dishonor, for
license and disaster at home, and cow
ardly shrinking from duty abroad"
Look about you, reader, and consider
whether your Democratic neighbors
merit this description. To just which
Democratic public men, from William
Jennings Bryan down, would you apply
it? Roosevelt, with crazy self-assur-
ance, applies it to ALL
What does the Democratic platform
eso1,ore the paramount issues of this
~ "a Biz Imperialism and militarism.
icsi i'evelt meet this?
'w~ que with them on this
proposition, u~-ause no serious man
thinks for one moment that they believe
what they assert"
That is an easy way out. If your op-
ponent lays down a proposition which
you cannot controvert, say you know he
doesn't mean it and clinch your argu-
ment by calling him traitor and a
copperhead. If this doesn't convince
the nation there always remains the
Rooseveltian argument of standing him,
up against wall and having him shot.
Roosevelt quibbles and lies about the
trust issues. He says, the Democratic
platform offers no explicit remedy for
trusts. That is untrue, as anyone who
will read the platform will admit.
He says stockholder of the New
York ice trust was on the resolutions
committee. That is unhappily true. But
what of Roosevelt's own guilt in the
matter of the ice trust? A Democratic
paper exposed the ice trust, showing no
favor to the Democratic officials in
volved in it.
The Democracy turns its rascals out
Republicans honor theirs. If the ice
trust is evil enough for Roosevelt, the
politician, to prate about day after day,
it should be sufficient evil to cause
Roosevelt, the governor of New York,
to do his duty. His is the power, his
the sworn duty to remove from office
the officials of Greater New York who
had guilty participation in the profits of
the trust. That they are Democrats
does not affect any honest partisan in
the state. That they are influential pol
ticians seems to have paralyzed the
sword-arm of the governor, leaving his
tongue only in working order.
But enough! AS some OF the senti-
ments in the St. Paul speech are left
over since 'o6, it will doubtless do duty
all this campaign. Meantime, I recur
to my original theorem, Why let Theo-
dore Roosevelt, scholar in politics. ~
retain his longtime monopoly of the
use of billingsgate? Is he the only man
licensed to use hard words and still be
petted by the 'better classes?" Some
body should call him
CHARLATAN,
DEMAGOGUE,
RANTER,
LIAR.
For most assuredly he is all of these.

A Famine Picture In India.

All around them extends the bound
less mud desert-not an atom of food
to be had within hundreds of miles
Slowly and aimlessly they drag them
selves along over the dusty plain, under
the glaring white sunlight. A handful
of raw grain day would keep them
alive, but none is to be had, and there
is no water. The family comes to a
mango tree, standing amid the desert
erect, green and vigorous, and spread
ing out shade over many yards. Here
they sit down to rest. When it is time
to move one or two will not move
they remain; they are corpses.
Paralyzed by hunger and unable to
move, thousands of these wretched peo-
pie are left to the wild beasts.
The others leave them there, heap
Of wizened dark skin and bones, with
few rags futtering on their bodies
and tuft of black hair on the skull.
There they squat or lie, and toward
evening the jackals and wild dogs can
ter up and begin to pull the wretched
remnants of mortality to pieces
The others are still wandering on.
AS they pass through the rocks and
scrub of the jungle cobra stings one
of them, and he falls and dies. Then
as they toll on one of the little chill
dren can walk no further, or the baby
which the mother has hitherto carried
slung on her hip becomes too heavy
burden for her. She leaves the baby
under rock; the child falls down and
no one notices it.-Julian Hawthorne.
