Erred WHITE In pARLS-

In his Iowa City speech Major La
cey paid his respects to the gentle
man who ran against him for con-
gress in 1896. The allusion is point
ed, and shows why even democrat
should be glad the republicans won.
Mr.. Lacey said:
"When Mr.. Bryan sent out his
manifesto after the defeat of 1896, he
said that if republican policies should
result in better conditions the demo-
Gratis would share these conditions
with their opponents.
He, too, has been rewarded for
his defeat.
ran for congress that year against
a worthy and excellent gentleman
who preached calamity with great
fervor He is farmer and usually
advised his hearers of that fact, and
complained of the hard lot of his av-
ocation under a gold standard and
protection. He preached calamity
and that continually, as the neces-
sary result of the success of the re-
publican party.
A few weeks ago gentleman jour
neying through Keokuk county in
quired where the Hon. Fred White
was keeping himself these republic
can days, when he learned that the
honorable gentleman was in Europe
visiting the Paris exposition and en-
joying the fruits of the victory of his
opponents. He had sold some high
priced cattle and had gone to Europe
with the profits to partake of the
comforts of republican success with
out having his neighbors poke fun
at him. He verified the prediction
that made in speech to his neigh
bors in 1895, when 1 told them that
he was in a happy condition because,
if elected, he would receive the hon
ors Pnd emoluments ofthe Office that
he sought, but if defeated he would
enjoy the fruits of our victory with
the balance of the people. We re-
joice with these men. They are di-
viding with us to the full extent the
good things resulting from the pol
icy which they oppose"

a DOOMED CITY.

The future of Galveston is rather
gloomy. Not building remains in
the city unharmed, and only the dar-
ing would attempt to repair their
loss, on a site that is liable to exper-
fence the same fate again any day.
The city stands on long, narrow
island, which is little more than a
sand reef off the Texas coast. The
island extends 27 miles east and west
and in no part is it more than seven
miles in width north and south. By
reason of its very situation no city
of the United States could be more
at the mercy of tidal wave or ocean
food. No part of the once thriving
southern city is more than six feet
above the sea level, and the fiat land
which is it's site has been the con-
stant danger of its people. Where
the city stands the island is not more
than one and one-quarter miles in
width.

FL, H, Hanna,
TOWNSHIP TICKET.

The Republicans of,Oskaloosa have
an excellent ticket in the field and
one that should poll every Republi-
can vote in the city. At the head
are Hon. George H. Baugh and Emery
Rice, candidates for justice of the
peace. Mr.. Baugh has been promin-
ent in Oskaloosa history for so long
that he needs no introduction to our
people. He is qualified by expert
ence and ability for the place and if
elected will conduct the Office with
fairness and economy. Mr.. Rice is
one of our substantial younger citi-
zens and attorneys. He is son of
the lamented General Rice, and is an
Oskaloosa boy in whom his friends
take great pride.
For constable have been named j..
o. Grant and George Andrews. Mr..
Grant is veteran of the civil war
and is deserving and capable man
for the position he seeks. Mr.. An
drews is teamster who has made a
fine success of his work. He is al
ways active and industrious, forg-
ing ahead while others halt and COM
plain.
All four candidates are property
owners and are good citizens-just
the kind of men needed to look after
the duties of the peace offices of the
township.

Scranton, Pa, Sept. 10 Captains
Of the Thirteenth regiment have been

al conference of operators was held
to-day to consider the situation. They
are unit in asserting that they will
never recognize the union, prefer
ring to allow the collieries to re-
main idle.
The First district is now complete
ly tied up, the last collieries in Pitts
ton closing last night. Strike-man-
ager Dilcher says he never saw a
strike so complete on the second day.
If necessary to win he will close
every bituminous mine in the coun-
try.

The disaster at Galveston calls
attention to other and somewhat
similar calamities. Porto Rico was
swept by hurricane in August last
year and twenty-five hundred lives
were reported lost. In 1896 st. Louis
was visited in the same way and 800
were killed. In October of1s93 about
2,275 lives were lost in storms that
swept the gulf coast. In August of
1898 the Atlantic coast from FLORIDA
to Canada suffered from hurricanes
and nearly 1000 persons were killed,
The bursting of the Conemaugh dam
in 1859 destroyed 5000 lives in Johns
town, Pa.

A HISTORY MAKER.

They seem to know Rinehart pretty
we'll in his home town of Newton.
The Journal says of him:
1.-THE crazy lawyer is a great dis,
coverer. He bas recently .ascertained
that the democrats failed to carry
Idaho in 1896 and that Governor Stu.
nenberg, who called for the troops at
Ooeri d'Alene, was not a democrat.
The chap is great at history making,
But he will rather surprise the Bry-
antics in Idaho when he tells them
that Stunenberg was elected as a
republican. The Kansan wanted to
denounce the governor for calling for
troops to quell the riots, but he did
not like to denounce a man elected
on the democratic ticket, so he con-
cluded to credit the republicans with
carrying Idaho. The fact is that this
chap is in the habit Manufacturing
history to suit his necessities. 1t will
be remembered that he first denied
the statement that Kapple was charg-
ing candidates for matrimony 81. 80
for documents, as most tremen Gus
lie and afterwards frankly admitted
the charge, but said that Kapple was
only working off "job lot" that he
had purchased.

THE STREET CAR FRANCHISE.

THE STREET CAR FRANCHISE.
The electric street car franchise is
now in the hands of the city council
and an ordinance is being prepared
tkat must be satisfactory to that
body and endorsed by vote of the
people before it becomes effective.
In the words of another, "there are
two ways of killing the project, one
is to vote the franchise downSand the
other is to load it down so that bonds
for the construction of the road can
not be sold" The middle ground is,
it looks to US, the proper place on
which to stand, that is make the
franchise fair to the city and fair to
the street car company. II this is
done we do not believe there would
be any question as to the proposition
carrying at public election held for
that purpose.
In regard to the electric light con-
tract which must accompany the
street car franchise, Mr.. Peatman
of the street car company says that
it will not be necessary for the city
to increase it's light bills to $4,000
year. All he asks is that the city
use all the light it needs at the prices
mentioned in the bid now before the
council. If this amounts to no more
than 5000 per year the company
will be satisfied.
Mr.. McNeill is anxious to have the
matter settled as soon as possible.
If his company does not get the new
contract for city lighting, he says the
present plant is sufficient for all the
private consumption that may be
contracted for, If, on the other
hand, he gets the city contract it
will be necessary to expend about
SO, 900 in improvements to make the
plant equal to the demands made
upon it.
The members of the council have
an important mission to perform and
they should have the opinions and
aid Of taxpayers interested in the
welfare of the city. All interests
should be protected and the city SO
cure the best contract possible COM
mensurate with the enterprises at
stake,

4 CONDITION, NOT a THEORY.

4 CONDITION, NOT a THEORY.
The excellent showing made by the
four city banks is a good advertise
ment for Oskaloosa and Mahaska
county. 1t is also an indication of
the splendid management accorded
these institutions. One and one-half
million dollars in cash is big sum,
and that is what the combined totals
show as now on deposit in these
banks-the exact figures being 81 ,527,-
445.51.
Four years ago. at the close of a
Democratic administration, Oska-
loosa had five banks and the amount
of deposits at that time was only
1868, ,7S6 SO. Now the four banks show
deposits of S1,527, ,445.51 an increase
of more than one-half million dollar 9
or S657 ,659. There are other banks
in the county now and it is safe to
say the money on deposit there would
bring the grand total up to 50, 900, 900,
which is one million more than the
figures showed four years ago.
Figuring the population ofMahaska
county at 5000, the amount on de-
posit for each man, woman and child
four years ago was approximately
S3O-to- day it is s5O. Here is an in
crease in the circulating medium, the
like OF which was not dreamed of by
the free silver orator of four years
ago. And bear in mind this increase
has been made under the gold stand
ard, despite the crime of '73, and
without the aid or consent of any
other nation on earth.
Is there any one in Mahaska coun-
ty-in the face of this record-who
wants change in conditions wrought
under a Republican administration
You may have had private misfor,
tunes that may have made your pros
perity seem stunted, but can you
deny that the people as whole are
much better off to-day than they ever
were before, and if you are votel
can you conscientiously cast your
ballot any other way except for the
Republican party, and the conditions
which, atheirs wise management bring
about?
The Oskaloosa herald., 1900-09-20

The Abba News says there is no
prosperity abroad because the coal
miners in Pennsylvania are striking
for 20 per cent increase in wages.
4 you will just think back about five
years, brother News, you will re-
member great horde of men were
striking then, NOT for an increase in
wages, however, but for the nearest
soup house. About 1000 of them,
you will remember, drifted down the
Des Moines river, depending on the
charity of the people enroute.

TIE GREAT STRIKE.

The great coal strike involving
142, 600 men is now on in the anth-
racite district of Pennsylvania. 1t
is estimated that there will be daily
loss in wages of S35O,OOO, while the
loss to the railroads and to the Oper-
ators will be twice that much, max
ing the total damage done each day
by the strike about 81 900, 900, to say
nothing of the suffering that is sure
to follow. 1t is serious step that
has been taken, but the men believe
there is enough at stake to warrant
the action. The demands OF the
men are as follows:
Company stores shall be abolish
ed.
Powder shall be reduced from So. .75
per keg to 81 80 per keg.
Company doctor and compulsion to
pay one shall be abolished.
Compliance with the state law
which says all industrial concerns
shall pay their employees semi-month-
ly in cash.
That all coal shall be weighed and
that 2 ,240 pounds (legal weight) shall
constitute ton.

BRYAN s LABOR DAP SPEECH.
No speech of the year has been so
severely criticised as that Of Mr..
Bryan at Chicago, on Labor Day.
1t was understood and agreed that
there should be no political speeches
made. All the speakers observed the
agreement except Mr.. Bryan who
made the most violent political speech
of the present campaign. There have
been many excuses why he did SO,
and following from the Brucyrus,
70 Journal, is among them:
"Angry partisans and indignant
editors denounce this as breach of
faith. 1t was nothing of the kind. 1t
would be unkind and unjust to Mr..
Bryan to declare that he deliberately
violated an understood agreement
between gentlemen.
His ambition and his position before
the public both combined to make
speech necessary, and he did the best
he could. Undoubtedly he would
have preferred to have made broad,
liberal, scholarly speech, strictly
without the narrow circle of politics,
as Roosevelt did; but it was not in
him--as well expect him to ride and
to fight, to flow with ideas and to
glow with fervent patriotism, as
Roosevelt does, as expect him to be
cultured scholar, the robust, virile
man that Roosevelt is.
1t was unfortunate for MIR. Bryan.
He did the best he could, and his best
was one sided, narrow politics. The
two citizens stood before the Nation
and were seen and measured and
and it is only iust to Mr..
Bryan to concede that he did not
deliberately act in bad faith, but that
he could not rise to the occasion. He
was weighed and found wanting.''
