The public will take deep interest
in the Investigation of the scandal con-
nected with the government railroad
in Cuba. The shot of ex-Superintend-
ent of Construction John Harrington
hits lordly game as the following tele-
gram in the Denver Neocs discloses:
Ell PAso. Texas, May 19.-John Har-
rington, until recently superintendent
of construction on the government
railroad in Cuba, is in the city. Dis
cussing the charges that there was q
big steal by contractors, he said the
moving spirits of the company having
the contract to build the road are ex-
Secretary Of War Alger, Senators Platt,
and Depew. Captain James S. Michels
OF the quartermaster's department in
spected and received the road for the
government; that on the report made
by Colonel Black, of the engineers.
and himself (Harrington), Governor
General Wood ordered operations on
the road stopped. Harrington declares
the road can easily be built for $10,-
600 per mile, and he knew a big scan
dal would result from the investiga-
tion.
This piece of railroad cost in full
$500, 900; experts say it could have
been built for $4,000. Any man may
plainly see why some people are in IA
vor of Expansion and Imperialism;
they don't want the flag hauled down so
long as it covers a steal.

The Democratic party has never ac-
euired an inch of territory that it did
not sign and seal covenant with its
inhabitants that they should have all
the rights of American citize nship and
that their territory should be finally
admitted as states of the Union. The
Republican party was the only party in
this country that has ever proposed
to hold yassal provinces, and the Dem
ocratic party wanted no share of the
honor. II q people were not fit for
free institutions. our free institutions
were not fit for the government OF such
people. We could not afford to become
tyrants on the ground that another
people were not fit to be free.-Hon.

which die in the Lord"
At the conclusion of the service a
long procession followed his remains
to the Edison Cemetery and the mortal
frame of our brother was laid away
under a flower covered mound. And
our dear brother finds JOY immeasura-
BILE in the
Far-away home of the soul;
Where no storms ever beat on the glittering

While the years of eternity roll,
Our joy is to contemplate
How sweet it will be in that beautiful

So free from all sorrow and pain,
With songs on our lips and with harps
in our hands,
To meet one another again.

ID. M. Osborne & Co., who ave
exhibiting their line of harvesting
machines at the Paris Exposition,
have great reason to feel proud of the
distinction won there by the excellent
showing of their machines.
They have secured the highest
award obtainable, not only for their
mower, reaper and self-binding har-
vester, but it includes their tedder,
rake, and also their complete line OF
peg, spring tooth and disc harrows.
In addition to the grand prize, the

"l0wa, it's Iowa"

The following beautiful sketch is
from the pen of Will F. Muse, of the
Mason City Globe-G Gazette, and &C.
companies booklet of Mason City
views published in the interest of the
National Military University move
ment:
"Man made Washington and New
York and Chicago, but God made
Iowa. Her glory is her farms and her
people-the promised land of agricul-
ture, the chosen people in intellectual
purpose and educational accomplish
ment. With 55,475 square miles of
land every acre is so productive that in
the springtime splenc id Iowa is every
where poem of green and in the
harvest time the golden promise of a
bounteous board both east and west.
To quote statistics is simply to pane
gyrize Iowa. To say that this year of
jubilee Iowa's agricultural products
and live stock will leap the half bill
lion dollar bound, not to mention her
other great and varied enterprises, is
to both tell the truth and eulogize
what industry and nature has done for
Iowa, always keeping the state a
creditor. To epitomize her greatness
is to say that Iowa, after statehood
of but little more than half century,
with population of two and a half
millions, produces more corn, more
oats, more beef, more pork, more of the
things people eat than any other state
in the union, has more miles of rail-
way than the state of New York, or
all the New England states combined,
has more school teachers than any
other state i'm the union except the
Empire state, and with only three and
one-tenth per cent. of illiteracy in her
population, challenges the admiration
of the entire sister-hood of the Union.
In the late Spanish-American contest,
Iowa furnished her four regiments, 80
per cent. of the rank and file being
Sons of Veterans, and not u man in
the entire number unable to affix his
own autograph to the muster roll"

A Treat Coming.

Almost simultaneously, "Ben Hur,"
General Lew Wallace's famous novel,
and "Quo Vadis." Henryk Sienkie-
wicz's life of the early Christians were
,dramatized. These two great religious
plays are receiving the consideration
of nearly every person, including the
clergy of all denominations. "Quo
Vadis" burns upon the brain the
struggles and triumrhs of the early
church. The feasting at the Imperial
palace, the contest in the arena, the
burning of Rome, the rescue of Lygia
1.-THE Christian maiden), will hold theil
place in memory with unfading color
and are to be reckoned among the
significant genius of narrative art

His and LIS Authority Acknowledge
Response to the Gar.
The next note replied to was from
Minister WI, who informed the state
department of the receipt by him of
dispatch from Prince Ching annOunc-
ing that Il have received an Imperial:
edict appointing me envoy plenipoten-
tiary with full discretionary powers,
in conjunction with Grand Secretary
Ii Hung Chang, to negotiate peace.
Please inform the secretary OF state
and request that, in view of the long
friendly relations [existing between
the two countriesl instructions be tele-
graphed to the United Statesl minis
ter at Picking to open negotiations in
harmonious way at an early date to
the interest and qualification OF all
concerned
Our reply to this is very brief, but
will please LII Hung Chang: The gov
eminent of the United States accepts
the plenipotentiary authority of Earl
Lii Hung Chang and Prince Ching as
prima facie sufficient for the prelimin-
ary negotiations looking toward the re-
turn of the imperial Chinese govern
ment and to the resumption OF its au-
thority ut Picking. and toward the ne
gotation Of complete settlement by
the duly appointed plentpotentiaries of
the powers and of China. To these
ends, the United States miniser in Pc
king will be authorized to enter into
relations with Earl Ii and Prince
Ching as the immediate representa-
tives of the Chinese emperor"
Then comes a communication from
Russia asking what we are going to
do abut-the removal of our legation
from Picking TO Tien-Tsin: the recog-
milton of the powers of Prince Ching
and Ii Hung Chang: and the instruc-
tion of our minister to enter upon
preliminary negotiations with the
prince and Ii.
We reply to the first that we have
not any intention at present of with
drawing our legation from Picking and
as to the other two that we accept
the authority of Ching and Ii and that
our minister at Picking will be au-
thorized TO negotiate with them.
