The Significance Of Our city's
Name Exemplified by the
Census Returns,


The population Of Cresco has at last
been given out as 2,S06, gain of near
ly 500 in the past decade and of 377
|since the state census in 1895. Some
had placed our gain since 1895 atabeut
500, which seems not to have been
realized. But the gain has been steady
each year-no boom but steady,
hcalthful growth. In the meantime
Decorah and Usage lost heavily in
population between 1890 and 1895, but
it affords us pleasure to note that both
are on the up grade since 1895. Usage
claimed in 1890 larger population
than Cresco is given now, yet her pop
ulation is now y less than that of our
city. Decorah papers and people after
the census of 1890, claimed a popula-
tion of over 5000, and now the census
gives her population including west
Decorah, a separate incorporation, at
only 3,246, which evidently makes the
actual population Of Decorah proper,
less than that Of Cresco. Mason City
papers made claim of 1000 and over,
the census gives that city 6,746. New
Hampton has 1889. Waukon 2,l53.
The people of Charles City claimed
between and 5000, and the census
gives her 4,227. Cresco when COM
pared with its neighbors has no reason
to be despondent.

The Amendment Muddle.

The adoption Of the stitutional
amendment is causing great deal of
trouble to the politicians. The state,
county and township officers chosen
at the recent election, the Attorney
General holds were not elected and
have no legal right to the offices under
that election. For himself he says he
shall resign and let the Governor ap-
point the attorney general. In our
county this leaves the offices of audi
tor and clerk to the present incumb-
ents, Williams and Loomis, unless
they resign, in which event the board
Of supervisors will have their success
sors to appoint. The recorder will
of course hold the office two years,
not by virtue of his supposed election
this fall, but by virtue of the consti-
tutlonal amendment continuing him
in his Office until his successor is elect
ed and qualified, which cannot be un-
til the election of 1902. All township
officers whose terms would have ex-
pired in January 1901, can retain their
office foa 1901 and 1902. If the at
torney general is correct in his inter.
probation of the law, and we think he
is, any person elected to an office the
term Of which expired in January
1901, assuming to hold the office by
virtue of that election could be re.
moved by quo warranto, proceedings
leaving the filling the vacancy tc
the proper appointing authority o.
the state, town or county.

An Old Landmark Gone.

The old building erected by DR..
Knowles the first year of Cresco, on
the corner of Elm and Peck streets
was removed Saturday for the south
side, having been sold to Mr.. Hender-
son. 1t at first was the residence and
Office of DR.. Knowles, afterwards used
for millinery by Mrs. Knowles and
Kimball but since its purchase by DR..
Clemmer has been a residence for diff
ferent families at different times, the
last family being that Of Mrs. Cole.
Its removal leaves vacant valuable
corner suitable for a couple Of stores
when needed, or for public house.

A,PecuIiar Coincident.

The other day the writer was at the
depot waiting for train to Vernon,
when gentleman, and apparently a
stranger, asked for a ticket to Vernon.
Getting into converSa ton with the
man, it was learned that he had just
returned from trip to the Paris EX-
position and England. He had never
been to Vernon, but in England he
had been playmate of ThoS. Dapson
of Tilden Hill, for whom the stranger
was bearing news from Mr.. DapSon IS
old home on the other side of the At
lantic.
The gentleman who had just retur-
ned from abroad is Benz Often, of
Cresco, Iowa. When Cresco was men
toned it occurred to the writer that
it was in that town that Jos. Archer,
of Vernon resided for, many years.
The stranger was asked if he knew
Mr.. Archer and he readily answered
in the affirmative, and shortly after
ward Mr.. Archer drove along and
wouldn't have been more surprised if
he had met the man from the moon
than he was on greeting his old friend
from Cresco. Thus in seeking the
companion of his boyhood days, Nh
| Often discovered another old acquaint
ance, and was as much surprised tt
know that his old Cresco friend was {
resident of Vernon as Mr.. Archer was
when he discovered the gentleman

Charges Libel.

Butte, Mont. Special, Nov. 15.-Up-
on the day of Marcus DAILY IS funeral
suit for 100000 damages was brought
in the district court here against the
Anaconda Standard, Mr.. Days news
paper, by Peter Breen, who was elect
ed county attorney at the recent cleo
tion. Mr.. Breen has reputation as
a labor agitator and was one of the
attorneys for the Occur d'Alene rot
ers. The Standard accused Breen of
leading the Democratic fusion mob
which attacked the Republican pa
raiders in Butte on the night before
the election, in which several flags
were torn down and burned by the
mob. Breen says that was libel on
him.
| Another suit for $5OO,00O damages
was today also brought against the
Washoe Copper company, one of Mr.
Daily companies, by man namet
James Boyer, who claims the com
pany has taken that much ore from
lunder several city lots which he owns

The Constitutional Convention.

The great state of Iowa with less IL
literacy than any other state in the
Union ought to be able to select legis-
lators with sufficient intelligence to
express its purpose when framing and
enacting laws. A few years ago it
submitted constitutional amend
ment on the qestion of prohibition
which the supreme court annulled, be-
cause the lawful steps had not been
taken for its submission to vote of
the people.
The last session Of the legislature
undertook to amend the ballot law so
as to allow the elector perfect free
dom in marking his ballot, so that it
all the candidates on the ballot furn-
ished him, without his ballot being
rejected, but signally failed.
Two succeeding legislatures have ex-
hausted their entire fund of learning
IN preparing and submitting the I'll
tus amendment and now we learn that
its effect is exactly contrary to the
Intention of its promoters. These
pertinent facts ought to silence some
of the republican boasting that the
intelligence OF the country is munop-
olised by that party.
If the call for a constitutional con-
vention has been approved By vote of
the electors of the state, it will be
the duty of the legislature u,1at con-
venes in 1903 to make provision for
the convention and for the election of
delegates thereto in which event we
suggest that the women of the state
of lawful age be made eligible to be
delegates. From them the state
might expect provision for an honest
ballot: for woman suffrage; and for
the submission Of an article providing
for constitutional prohibition; and
that each of these propositions would
be voted upon separate from other
parts of the constitution submitted.

The Present and a Look
Backward.

On our inside pages may be found

ers VINO read that paper during the
campaign to scan it carefully and con-
trast its present with statements du-
ring the presidential campaign. They
will recall that as a supporter of Pres
ident Mckinley that it dropped into
the Mark Hanna idea that there are
no trusts, as yehemently as it now
condemns the salt trust. Itnow states
that as far back as 1866 was virtual

We like to be charitable, but it is ask
ing too much that the people credit
the paper with having been ignorant
of these facts during the campaign.
The people who voted the "trust
ticket" will take note of the cost it
gives for salt at the mines and of the
monthly profit of the trust, because ii
will be additional proof of prosperity
somewhere. They should also note
the comparison it makes with price OF
salt under the Wilson bill and under
the Dingley tariff and particularly
note why the tariff barons demanded
protection against foreign salt being
admitted free of duty lest they would
be ruined in The competition with
cheap labor. We understand that an
abundance OF sslt may be raised from
the mines just across the river from
Detroit, but it can hardly be expected
that it will be admitted duty free, un-
TIL the salt trust is amply remunerat
ed for its liberal campaign funds.

is it Right2

A person elected to an Office and
paid salary equivalent to the value
of his services every day Of the year
for which he is in office, if he spends
his time in outside speculation, absent
from the office, the duties of which
devolves upon another person paid
from the public funds, the public
official so absenting himself from his
office and its duties, for the time so
absent should have his salary with
held in the public treasury. A farm
hand, or clerk in any business, en-
ployed by the year or month, if alb
sent for either business or pleasure
for several days, few weeks, or a
month, loses his wages or salary for
the time absent. Why should differ
ent rule prevail in case of a county
officer? And who but the board of
supervisors should see that this justice
is done in behalf of the taxpayers? 1t
lis-an open and notorious fact that one
of our county officers has during his
present term spent perhaps three
Dakota lands, and that he has regular
ly drawn his salary for the time absent
from his duty. Is that honest? Is il
what a farmer or a merchant would
do with his hired help? If the deputy
is able to perform all the duties of
the office, why should not the princi-
pie be able to do them? And what
need of a deputy?-or why not pay
the salary to the deputy and let the
principal go?
