of information.

Chicago Times Herald: Secretary
Walsh is a fountain of information.
All sorts of reports on campaign work
flow to his desk, and he is prepared to
explain at a moments notice the state
of any department He is relieved of
much of the correspondence by mail
clerk, A. E. Mcdaniel of Utah, who
handles incoming letters and sends the
secretary only such as need his per-
sonal attention.
Mr.. Walsh has charged himself
specially with the distribution of cam
paign documents His committee has
printed 30,0O0;00O copies, and he'hopes,
by taking increased care, to have
every copy count. He has the pam
'phlets counted when received from the
printers to be sure, Of full measure.
His system of reports shows how
many have been received, how many
sent out and how many are on hand.
Mr.. Walsh's reports show the number
and kind of documents in every ship
ment and the person or committee to
whom they were sent.
The secretary has had 23,000,-
600 documents printed in Chi
cago, 100000 in Clinton, Iowa,
and 100000 in Evansville,
Ind. Most Of these have gone to
states which ;he has divided into three
classes. CAssss "a includes democratic
states which might abe lost. Class B
comprises republican states which
may be won. Glass @ includes what
he considers to be purely doubtful
states. He is not wasting ammunition
on the solid South or in the rock
ribbed republican states. He received
"a request the other day from a. Texas
congressman for large bundle of
campaign pamphlets, which induced
him to make a few burning remarks
about the Democrat who couldn't be
satisfied with 300,000,000 majority"
In the same mail came requisition
from Pennsylvania which was refused
for the opposite reason. On the other
hand, Indiana is considered good
missionary field and has been supplied
with 100000 documents.

would sacrifice capital, labor, property
and Wage-earners, and Nebraska City
itself. They are twin dynamos tofgen>
crate discomfort, to paralyze prosper

nents of the corrupt camps of Croker

backing their ticket. They are mere
monographs of political piracy in the
city of New York, which has corrupted
and robbed that municipality for gen

And this brace of philanthropists
have the unspeakable gall to appear
before a Nebraska City audience as
anointed prophets and protectors, and
to admonish Nebraska City to beware
OF citizens who for forty years have
been faithfully at work to build UP a
prosperous and contented community.
Against the acts of men who have con-
tributed to every good and successful
enterprise in Nebraska City, Bryan

desolation instead of thrift, for silence
and solitude where now the hum of
whirring wheels, the rattle of machin-
cry and the songs of contented indus
try are a constant symphony.

the other hand who have established

the making of a modest competence.
The accumulation of millions of
dollars is usually the, result of enter
prise and Judgment. and some excep-
tional ability for organization. 1t
does not come from savings in the
ordinary sense of that word. Men
who in old age strive only to increase
their already too great boards are
usually slaves of the habit of hoard
ing formed in their youth. At first
they own the money they have made
and saved. Later in life the money
owns them, and they cannot help
themselves, so overpowering is the
force of habit, either for good or evil.
1t is the abuse of the civilized saw
ing instinct, and not its use, that pro-
duces this class of men. No one
need be afraid of falling a victim to
this abuse of the habit. If he always
bears in mind that whatever surplus
wealth may come to him is to be re-
garded as a sacred trust, which he
is bound to administer for the good
of his fellows.
If the man resolves and faithfully
adheres to his resolution never to
hoard money, but to put each years
surplus to uses beneficial to others,
then the money-making habit may
still be classed among the virtues.
The man must always be master. He
should keep money in the position of
useful servant; he must never let
it be master and make a miser of
him.
Burns expresses a truth when he
declares that savings are precious. be-
cause they make man independ-
ent. AS he was a very
poor man himself, to be in
dependent of others naturally seem
ed to him the great aim of life; but
great wealth is even more desirable,
since it permits one to be of service
to others.-The Youths Companion.

THE SALT OF THE Earth.

The persons who get up the vile
caricatures of farmers and the resi-
dents of the rural districts that are
published in the metropolitan newspa-
pers and in the comic journals GER
talnly never saw a representative
gathering of Iowa farmers, or else
have neither the desire nor the inten-
ton to correctly represent them. To
look into the faces of the 1,500 peo-
people who assembled Tuesday at the
village of Bunch, in Davis county, to
hear Major Lacey and Governor
Shaw, was an inspiration. A more in
tclligent and attentive audience never
comprised an Iowa rural political
gathering. There were nearly, if not
quite, as many women in the audience
as men and the young people of both
sexes were much in evidence. The
frank open countenances of the men
betokened a straightforward honesty
of purpose, and manifest uprightness
of daily life. The kindly, motherly
bearing of the women was beautiful
to behold. The boys were strong,
manly, and clean faced. The girls
were well dressed, we'll behaved,
healthy, and many of them possessing
a beauty that would grace any draw
Ing room in the land. Intelligent COM
prehension of the manifold questions
Of state craft under discussion was
everywhere manifest. Here was evil
IDENTIFY a God-fearing, hard working
people, that bore in their very ap-
pearance the impress of the best and
most intelligent citizenship. The
bulwark of the American republic is
to be found in the great agricultural
masses. They are the salt of the
earth.

Editor Courier: I notice that Judge
Steck, in making speech at Bunch
said: Money, am taught, is the
root of all evil" 1t seems to me that
the Judge should be far enough adj
vanced by this time to turn on his
teacher and tell him that money is
not the root of all evil; that money
of itself is pure. See Paul to Timothy,
1 Timothy, 6-10. Here we read, For
the love of money is the root of all
evil" It will cause men to steal, to
murder, all to secure unjust gain.
Now, when you hear men talk Of
money being the root of all evil, tell
them to read 1 Timothy, Clio.

SHAMEFUL ACCUSATIONS.

The campaign is already irretrieva-
bly, lost to the democrats and no one
more fully realizes that fact than Mr..
Bryan himself. He has as conse-
quence lost his temper and yesterday
at his old home, Salem, ILL.,, INDUCED
in talk unworthy of any candidate for
the presidency of the United States.
In the course of his TRADE Mr.. Bryan
said:
"They (the republicans) will buy
every vote that can be bought; they
will coerce every vote that can be CO.
creed; they will intimidate every la
boring man who can be inundated;
they will bride every election Judge
that can be bribed; they will corrupt
every count that can be corruptd."
Such senseless talk carries with it
its own refutation. 1t Injuries the
man who gives it utterance far more
than any one else so far as the polit-
ical phase of the situation is concern
ed. But it is the moral effect upon
young, needless and uathinking peo-
pie that is to be most greatly deplor-
ed. If the people, and especially
boys and youth, are to be made to be-
lieve that the republican leaders, who
comprise prominent and honorable
men in all parts of the country, are
engaged in such dishonorable and ne
farious practices as is above declared
by the democratic candidate for the
presidency, the effect can not be 9TH
er than general breaking down Of
moral sensibilities and restraints.
The deplorable influence of such
shameful and wantonly false accusa-
lions can scarcely be over-estimated.
They call for the severest condemna.
ton of all good citizens.

The remarkable increase in the de-
posits in the banks of Ottumwa dur
ing the last four years as shown by
Hon. Calvin Manning at the republi-
can meeting last Thursday night is
a condition that is by no means con-
fined alone to Ottumwa. but prevails
thruout the entire state. Taking the
consolidated statements of the nation
al, state and savings banks from Of
fetal reports, it is shown that the de-
posts at the present time are over
$40 900 900, an increase over 1896 OF
about ST.. 100000, or more than 100
per cent. This does not include pri-
vate banks. The amount of their de-
posits would increase the total to
something like 175,O00,o00. ALI this
money, it should be remembered, be-
longs to the people, not to the banks.

William Jennings Bryan never heard
of this wise maxim. His idea seems
to be that the way to win is to make
the same old blunder over again. Free

cratic party down to defeat in 1896.

From TuesdaY,s Daily.


The meeting which was to have
been held at republican Headquarters
last evening was not carried out as
proposed, owing to the non-arrival of
Hon. j. B. Rush, who was to deliver
the address of the evening. He was
unable to be present, but his place
was filed by local colored politicians.
The colored voters are all enthusiasts.
tic republicans, and are of the opinion
that the issue of imperialism, as was
talked of by the democrats, pales in
to insignificance when compared to
the imperialism practiced by the dem.
ocrats of North Carolina, and other
southern states, where the negro is
not allowed to vote if he is unable
to read and write. The meeting last
evening was addressed by Messrs.
Hopkins and Stuart. and their re-
marks were enthusiastically applaud
ed by their hearers.

Bryan four years ago, and said
you're all right for Bryan, OF course
The German replied GO away, l
don't want to talk NIT you"
Z why" said the committee, you
are going to vote for Bryan, amt you?"
Again the German replied, Il don't
