Baggage Trouble.

The Rock Island station in this city
has at one time or another been the
scene Of much trouble over baggage
matters. There is not a more genial
or accommodating baggageinan along
the line of the road than "BilIys'
McCabe, but when a travelling man
rushes into the Office as the train
pulls up to the platform and demands
the checking Of twenty or thirty
trunks with excess weight he is in
elined to demur. There has been
such a thing as holding trains to
have baggage checked, but an order
that has been received puts a stop to
all this. The order states in unmis-
takeable terms that the trains can
not be held for the checking of bag
gage, and the baggageman is in
structed to keep a record of all
pieces that arrive at the station late.

METHODIST CHANGES.

The General Conference of the
Methodist church in session in Chi
cago has done four notable things:
Removed the time limit from min
listers, added two new bishops to the
organization, refused to erase from
the discipline the rule against world
ly amusements, ana voted down d
resolution of criticism of President
Mckinley. If no other work is ac-
complished by the great body the
conference will be remembered by
these four important actions. While
all are to be commended, in as much
as they were the result of mature de-
liberation of one of the greatest de-
nominational bodies in the world,
we believe a mistake was made when
the time limit was removed from the
ministers. Under the old rules q
minister could not stay more than
five years in any one place and this
was a source OF strength to the
churches in general. While OF course
the good preachers we're always
wanted longer in their charges, the
rule made it easy for a congregation
to rid themselves of an unsatisfactory
pastor without any trouble. This
prevented many church quarrels an6
divisions, and done away with the
necessity of cheating around tine
bush" that is sometimes practicet
by churches to inform the minister
that his resignation would be accept
able. There are ofcourse some good
features in the change, but the gooc
we believe will be more than offser BY
the bad.

you before as to the soil of this island,

that some of the papers are very
wroth because we soldiers are fight

question of policy that this govern

must be settled by statesman (of
which the United States has never
been short. But l cannot see how
an American can, while the Tagalos

American boy and in case he wounds
him rush on him with a long
bolo knife and cut him all to
pieces, scalp him perhaps, how our
own people can sympathize with
them and almost rejoice at a victory
over our boys is too deep for me to
sec. But it was Away this. There
were the kickers of Fanrial Hall in

declared the war was unjust on poor
England. The same in 1912, Mexico
had her champions and the Knights
OF the Golden Circle drought the
Civil war a failure. But all those old
questions have passed away and
settled, and settled right. This war
will sometime be settled and must be
settled right.

-Lynnville Ledger: Our own

-Lynnville Ledger: Our own con-
gresham, Major John F. Lacey, is
being talked of as a vice presidential
possibility on the ticket with McKin-
ley, and if it is finally concluded to
give Iowa that position on the ticket
Major Lacey will be the man. He
would make an ideal vice-president
and we hope more than talk may
come from the proposition, a pro-
position that has sprung into life
within the past week and which has
already been quite generally com.
mented upon and very faYCrably re.

Iowa Capital: The republicans o
the United States are trying to dis
cover the right man, hailing from
the right state, for a candidate fol
vice-president.
Pennsylvania could not furnish the
man because of the Quay and anti
Quay sentiment.
Ohio is the home of the president
AID all Ohio men are counted out.
Illinois has mo- available man in
sight.
Indiana is too near to Ohio to fur.
nish the vice-presidential nominee.
Michigan has SO far presented nc
name.
The only available man pre-.
sented by the great Empire state
takes himself out of the list by de.
clining in advance.
Neither Nebraska nor Wisconsin
has entered the list with a popular
candidate.
Minnesota has feebly presented
Washburn, but there would appear to
bs no seriousness back Of the sugges-
ton.
There is no governor in the east or
west available excepting Roosevelt
and Shaw, both of whom have de-
clined.
No senator of the United States,
who would add strength to the ticket,
would accept the place.
No cabinet officer so far mentioned
is in the available list. The Samp-
son-Schley controversy puts Score
ttary Long out of the list, and POST
master General Smith is not among
the possibilities.
Therefore a candidate cannot be
found among the governors, senators
or cabinet officers.
No hero of the Spanish-Amerlcan
war excepting Gen. Leonard Wood,
can now be considered a popular fa-
vorite that is, no hero who would ac-
cept and would be acceptable.
Hence the situation Is up TIC J8Za,
and up to the house Of representa- Us.
One of the strong men of the IOWA
delegation is the representative fcom
the Sixth district, Hon.John F Lacey.
Major Lacey served gallantly during
the civil war in an Iowa regiment;
was for years a successful practicing
lawyer; is a man of tireless energy
and possesses the widest possible in
formation. He would be an available
man for vice-president. No better
man could be found.
1t may be said that Iowa could not
have the speakership and the vice.
presidency at the same time; Maine
had speakership and the president
pro tempore of the senate at one and
the same time, and what is the differ
ence? Colonel Henderson is the most
available man for speaker, and
the house would not think of select.
ing anyone else, NJ matter who would
be chosen for vice-president.
Therefore, the Capital presents for
the consideration of the republican
national convention, for the Office OF
vice-president, Hon. John F. Lacey
of Iowa, soldier, statesman, patriot.
Match him if you can.

The past week was warmer than
usual, with more than the average
amount of sunshine, and less than
the normal rainfall. The daily excess
of temperature ranged from two to
six degrees. The rainfall was in the
form of light showers very unequally
distributed and in the districts where
it was deficient in the preceding
week the effects Of dry weather are
beginning to be noted.
The weather conditions were very
favorable for finishing planting corn,
and for cleaning out early planted
fields. The work Of cultivation IL

good, and the condition Of the crop
is generally quite promising; better,
in fact, than the average in past
years for the closing week III Hay.
The ire planted appears to be 4 full

cess of last years acreage.
The condition Of spring wheat, oats
and barley is generally very good.

BACK TO TILE EOLD

William E. Curtis, in his Washing
ton correspondence, says that ex-
Representative James Bedford of Col
orado, who, while III congress, was
f~amiliarly known as 1.-THE Red
Headed Rooster of the Bockies, has
announced his return to the Republi-
can party, which he left in 1894 to
join the democrats on the silver is
sue. Mr.. Bedford gives a good many
reasons for his change of heart in his
most characteristic language. In
short, he considers silver a dead is
sue and does not believe in placing
a corpse or a platform. The social
istic tendencies of Mr.. Bryan and the
present leaders of the democratic
party are alarming TO every person
who has anything at stake, and prop.
erty owners throughout the country
will never trust men of such ideas to
run the government. After six years
of experience in the democratic
party Mr.. Bedford has discovered it
cannot be trusted, and he says the
most of the republicans in Colorado
who left the party when he did feel
the same and are coming back to
their old allegiance. He predicts
that the republicans will carry Col.
orado at the fall election.
