William E. Curtis, the editorial cor
respo ndent of the Chicago Record, is
known far and Wide as resourceful
writer, and more than ordinarily smooth
republican politician. Ina recent let
ter to his paper he notes the trend of
political currents and, expresses the
fear that the scheming of republican
managers to save some of the eastern
states may result in republican losses
in the west. Here is paragraph from
his letter:
The original object of the Porto Rican
tariff bill was to save Connecticut to the
republican party, but the consequence
may be to lose Minnesota, if the result
of the municipal election IN st. Paul is
any indication of the sentiment through
out the 8 tate. There ia also much dis
satisfact ion in Minnesota, it is said,

FREED FROM PRISON.

Man Sentenced for Life Released After
twenty-five Yeare.
ANAslosA, Ia, April 3O.-After twenty.
two years confinement in the peniten.
tiary in this city, Cornelius Moelchen is
once more enjoying the air Of freedom.
The case of Moelchen is entirely with
out parallel in the annals Of Iowa
criminal affairs.
In the year 1877 Cornelius Moelchen
arrived in America from Germany and
came directly to Dubuque county, where
he took up his residence with an only
relative, an uncle, John Moelchen. The
elder Moelchen was bachelor and
young Cornelius was his heir.at-law.
Shortly after the arrival Of Cornelius
at the home of his uncle the
latter was found with his skull
crushed and life extinct, the body
being suspended from the stirrup of q
saddle girthed to horse which he had
ridden away from home only short
time previous The first impression
was that the unfortunate man had lost
his life through runaway accident.
but the coroner's investigation revealed
the strange fact that the dead man,
when found, had his left foot in the
right stirrup.
Other circumstances gradually de-.
veloped which led to the conclusion
that a murder had been committed and
suspicion was directed to young Noel
chen. He was found guilty Of murder
in the first degree. and in the spring Of
the year 1878 was committed to the An
amosa penitentiary for life.
Finally, during the session Of the last
general assembly, both branches of the
assembly requested the governor to
grant Moelchen executive clemency.
Aud now. after 20 years Of servitude.
he is a free man.

Democratic State Convention.
The democracy of Iowa never did
better work than was done in the State
convention at Des Moines last Thurs
day. From all parts of the country
come words Of praise and expressions
Of satisfaction. For the first time in
many years the party is united and
ready to fight together for the accom-
plishment of a common purpose. The
delegates from the counties of Dubu-
que and Scottfra,ernized and exchanged
votes, as they have not done before since
1895. There were nine candidates, who
wanted to be delegates-at-large. Only
four could be chosen, and the contest
was more than ordinarily spirited. Itlwas
generally conceded that both Charles
Walsh and Cato Sells should be dele
gates-at-large, SO there were really seven
candidates fcr Tie remaining two
places. This district instructed for

All sides were well pleased over the
result. The Des Moines Lea Ter, which
has been off the democratic reservation
since 1896, had the following to say tht
day after the convention:
