When asked yesterday if he had
done anything toward the suppress
sion of slot machines in the CITY
Mayor Jennings said be had not,
further than that he had given
orders some time ago for the cash
machines to be taken out. The
information that in one saloon two
cash machines are running full
blast didn't startle the mayor, but
he insisted that he is opposed to
all forms OF machines that result
in cash payments to the winners.
He said be thought it just as
bad for the house to cash checks
given on winnings at the machine
as for the original returns to come
in cash. All such schemes the
mayor is opposed to, but he says
he doesn't mind the slot machine
where you pinch the little spring
and the ball goes round and may
be you get five cigars. and maybe
one, and maybe none. Neither
are checks won from slot ma
chine and to be traded out in the
house offensive to Mayor Jennings
He says that they simply help
sell goods. -Nonpareil.

The prevailing opinion Of the
state press seems to be- that as
Governor Shaw has pfomished to
sign a valued policy bill should
one be passed at the next session
of the legislature the experiment
is sure to be made in Iowa sooner
or later. If that is the correct
estimate it is to be regretted that
the experiment is not to be made

cRo' REPORT,

Summary For Week Ending May 18th
Dies Moines, Iowa.
Theaversge temperature of the past
week was about normal, though con-
sidersbly cooler than the preceding
week. Froats were observed on thp
mornings OF the" Sd; 9TH, and 5th, az
various localities in the northern and
central districts; and Oh the morning
of the Sd the minimum temperature at
numerous stations was below 80 de.
grees, causing the formation of ice on
shallow water in nsny places. Though
too early to note all the injurious Of:
fects of freezing temperature, the gen.
ersl opinion seems to indicate that sp-
pies, plums and cherries suffered but
little damage. Tender vegetation and
SMALL fruit 81 low ground were some
what injldrsa, but ths sesregets. sta}f
damage by freezing will be quite small.
This week was very favorable for
blowing and other farm work, and
nearly ell other corn ground is in
readiness for planting. A fair start
has heen made in corn planting. but
the &astAaf was not sufficiently werH.
to incite much activity in that line.
Most of the reports mailed on the
9Th noted the fact that the soil was
becoming quite dry and that rain was
needed for the grass and gram crops,
and to facilitate blowing. The needed
moisture was generally supplied BY the
copious showers of Saturday night
and Sunday, and the crop outlook ct
present 10 quite tlsttering.

A Republican Surplus"
ON Aha Herald

"Ihe administration organs are
Boosting because the government
receipts during April exceeded the
e1pend1. by 81, $4,000. This
is what they call republican
surplus. >" 1t ia. Aud how was
lie accumulated? Was it accumu-
lated because of wise apd ecoro-
mical administration of public al
fairss Not on your stamp tax! 1t
was accumulated through the most
odious system of taxation ev de-
vised stamp taxes. In order to
have surplus to boast Of the re.
publican administration contiousxx
to force revenue law that is not
necessary, a revenue lew that bears,
most heavily on those WHO can LEAST
afford to- pay. No matter which
way, you turn, no matter what your
circumstances may be, you must
lick a revenue stamp. Ii you send.
telegram you, and not tn cor
porstion, must cancel stamp. &c

Conflicting Opinions.
1t is wonderful to note the fac
ulty in the human mind to change.
In reading the republican papers
we find the following choice NOR
eel of advice:
sThe Iowa Citizen sees two WAYS
of reducing the surplus, one by
repeating the war tax, the other
by putting the democracy in con-
troll, but deems the latter more eff
fective and speedy. But to have
the democracy in control would
be greater tax on the people than
the stamps"
lie the Citizen will refresh his
mind a little on the past political
history of this country he will re-
member that one of the most seri-
GUS charges against Grover Cleve-
lands administration was the fact
that he kept too large a surplus in
the national treasury, and now it
seems to be the chief trump in
the Mckinley administration that
it keeps a large surplus in the
treasury! CHOW you see it and
now you don't" is being worked.
If the public will refer to the
present state of taxation by high
tariff, stamp duty, and every other
method known, to increase the
surplus in the treasury, no sur
prise need to be felt at the fact
that Uncle Sam has money to burn,
but is not the same argument once
used against Mr.. Cleveland by
the republicans good against Mr..
Mckinley, that 10. shat he is un-
necessarily taxing the people too
create a surplus, and by so DANG
withdrawing from circulation So
larg an amount Of money from the
public business of the country?
IT would seem that il that argu.
ment was good a%aip9t the demo.
qrata y 10 equally gand against " Q
republicans.
Good politics for all parties is
that which taxes the people as lit
tie as possible consistent with the
needs of the government, and that
ON expenditure. HIGH
taxation harnesses the money in
tae treasury, but an excesso Of cash
always bege.s spirit li;iit of extrsys.
gance and carrpp:'tt,se 10 admiDia-
tration. i'he change in adm MIS-
tration does not change a princi-
pie, and if it wns wrong to secure
a surplus in the treasury during
Mr.. Cleveland's administration, b,
what perity Il seasaning can it bf
fright under Mr.. McKinley's to do
the name thiae.
