What Mckinley Prosperity Is Do
ing for the Farmers of
Iowa.

The farmers of Iowa are pointed to
with pride by the republican man
ayers as fair opponents of Mckinley
prosperity. But the records tell a
tale of woe that overshadows even the
exaggerated talk of prosperity.
The Free Press of Mount Pleasant,
Ia, publishes from the records of
two years how the farmers of Henry
county are steadily increasing their in
debtedness. The Free Press does this
to correct the false statements of pros

NEW ORLEANS CROWDED.
Multitude Witnesses the Mardi
Grns Festivities-A Magnifl-
cent Pageant.

New Orleans, Feb. 2s.-Rex ruled
the Carnival city Tuesday, and the
magnificent pageant of the merry
monarch traversed the streets under
most favorable weather conditions.
The day marked the twenty-eighth an
nual pageant of the king, and New Or
leans was never more crowded with
visitors, the influx from towns within
a few hours ride of New Orleans SWELL
ing the multitudes on the streets to
immense proportions. The usual street
scenes marked the occasion, and be-
sides the Rex pageant there were
scores of impromptu parades, partici-
pated in by grotesque masquers. The
Rex pageant was up to its usual high
standard, and was witnessed by inn
mense throngs of people. The subject
illustrated was Terpsichorean revels,
and in some 20 moving floats the kings
artists and his household did full jus.
tice to the theme. The Rex ball oc.
Cured at night at the Carnival palace
The pageants closed with the Comus
display, followed by brilliant ball at
the French opera house.

The theory that the state must pro-
vide Examiners to go over the books
of county treasures, is an innovation.
What business has the state of Iowa
with county local affairs. The board
of supervisors are the constituted au-
thorities to look after the County
finances. If the legislature adopts the
measure to turn loose a lot of expert
official pap-suckers the county boards
OF supervisors should not hesitate to
resist their examination of the records
of the county. The state has all it
can comfortably take care of without
meddling with the local affairs of the
counties. -lNonona Leader.

A Waste of Time.

People who draw up and sign petit
tions asking President Mckinley to
intervene in the British-Boer war are
wasting their time. True, their time
may not be valuable, but it would be
better occupied in some other way.
Mr.. Mckinley will not intervene. Be-
ing the occupant of a glass house of
extreme frailty Mr.. Mckinley will not
prance out into the street and heave
rocks at John Bull. 1t is extremely
unpleasant to be in position where
one cannot make a move, but it is I'M
pleasant to be in that position and try
to make a move. Should Mr.. McKin-
ley attempt to intervene he would be
reminded of little affair over in the
Philippines.
OF course this great republic should
intervene in behalf of a sister republic
in danger of humiliation. Interyent-
ion is possible under the terms of The
Hague convention. But by adroit
Encouragement Mr.. Mckinley has
placed himself in the position where
he cannot, consistently intervene. =

Clip Their Wings.

Projected enterprises in Iowa are
being delayed because of the enormous
prices on iron and steel. The Des
Molnes Steel Railway company had
planned to extend it's lines from Val
ley junction to Winterset but has
abandoned the project because of the
excessive price of steel rails. Project
ed buildings whose plans have been
made by local architects will not be
erected this year because of the high
price OF structural iron.
Meantime we learn from the state
ment of Mr.. Prick that two of the

the year before s42, 100000. And these
enormous profits Mr.. Prick says, were
on low-priced contracts.

and the other high duties on iron:
