!. May: Change Convention Date.

Sioux CITY, Feb. s7.-An effort is be.
ing made to change the date of the ma
tional Popnlist convention, set for May
8, at Sioux Falls, S. D. NJ. L. Fox of
Sioux Falls, leading South Dakota
Populist, in an interview here, said that
Sioux Falls is little afraid the weather
just at that season will be unpleasant,
: and it is thought if it can be put off un'
til a later date, conditions probably
would be more favorable. Mr.. Fox said
one reason for fixing the date so early
was SO as to have the fusion convention
at,least u month in advance of the ma
tional Democratic convention, it being
supposed this would be held early in
June. But now, as this has been fixed
for,July 4, it would leave ample time
for the fopulists to5.hold their conven.
tion as late as the 1st of June. He says

BORDERS ON SENSATIONAL.

Resolution of Inquiry as to Iowa Officers
Connection With Insurance Concerns.
= DEs MONIES, Feb. 27.-A sensation
was caused in the lower house of the
legislature when Mr.. Head of Greene
county introduced a long preamble and
resolution, calling on the governor, sec
retary, auditor and treasurer of state to
inform the house as to their connections
with insurance or building and loan as
sociations The resolution sets forth
that the astorney general has recently
held that many of these concerns are
managed on plan contrary to law and
public policy; that it is currently re-
ported that the state officers named,
composing the executive council, are
stockholders, directors or officers in
companies which are criticised by the
attorney general; that the executive
council is vested with authority to SUI
pervise the business Of such companies,
and determine whether their plans of
business are fair and equitable, and
that the governor, secretary auditor
and treasurer of state be called upon
to inform the house their relations with
these companies and as to what, if any,
salaries they are receiving as such offic-
ersor directors.
Mr.. Head followed this With a resolu-
tion calling on John Cownie, of the
board of control, to resign one CT, the
two offices he holds. The law provides
that a member Of the board can hold no
other lucrative Office. Mr.. Cownie is
crop reporter for Iowa, federal posi-
ton, and Mr.. Heads resolution de-
mands he resign one position or the
other. The resolutions went over mn

1.-THE Government which breaks
treaties with respect to missionaries

takes no steps TO protect them will
easily yield to the temptation to in

our missionaries to go on since 1893. in
Turkey, without any demonstration be-
yond peaceful and patient argument,
that the ottoman Government is now
proceeding in so high handed man
ner TO prevent by false allegations the
importation of our flour and our pork.
Careful observations will show that
our large mercantile interests are likely
to be imnerilled by our neglect to in

honorable calling here are entitled TO
