THE REPUBLIcAN GREED.

what does the senator purpose to
do with the Philippines?" inquired
Senator Allen.
ITO give the people honest, even
handed justice and good govern
ment, replied Senator Spooner; ito
protect life and property; to fill the
land with schoolhouses; to give the
people such part in the government
as they may show themselves fitted
for; to maintain the laws so bonest-
ly and firmly that no man, however
rich, shall go beyond their reach,
and no man so humble that he may
not have their protection"
Senator Spooner's answer stands
for the answer of the republicans
everywhere. 1t is in the creed of the
republican party.

THE 5fST IOWA.

,. \ /. b y
f. w. Bicknell in his Des Moines
correspondence says:
adj. Gen, Byers says that the en-
campment of the 51st regiment will
probably be held at Atlantic, where
superior camping grounds are offer
ed, and there is the additional! ad-
vantage of having no local company.
All the companies will be away from
home, which, according to General
Byers and Col. Lincoln, OF this regi-
ment, is something very much to be
desired. They think it is bad thing
to have a regimental camp in one of
the company towns"
Oskaloosa once entertained the
Iowa Brigade, three regiments, and
had ample room for ALL Itoffers the
same grounds this year, and ,defies
any city in Iowa to furnish a better
camp and sparade grounds. If the
officers really want the soldiers to go
somewhere where there is no COM
pany they will subject themselves to
much severe criticism. The towns
supporting the Iowa National Guard
are entitled to and should have the
eneampments. The boys of Co. F,
unite with the citizens in inviting
the 51st to Oskaloosa this summer.

William E Curtis In Chicago Record: !:
/ realize that it is a very unpopular
position, but nevertheless there are
two sides to the story of the Boxers
in China. You will notice by the
dispatches that there are railroad
riots in the Shantung province that
the Belgian and German railway en-
gineers have been assaulted and are
afraid of assassination, and that work
has been suspended on certain por-
tions of the line now under con-
struction. have alluded to this
matter before, and while no one can
justify assassination or approve of
the cowardly methods which the
Boxers" adopt to revenge them
selves upon the foreign devils" that
hhave invaded their country, they can
at least plead extraordinary provoca-
ton, for the Germans and the Bel
gians who are constructing railroads
lin the Shantung province have
treated the natives in most abom-
Unable manner and have provoked
the riots of which they now complain.
That portion of China is one of the
most densely populated sections OF
the earth, and the people have des-
perate struggle for existence. Every
inch of ground is cultivated; every
straw and every sprig of vegetation
is utilized in some way for the sup
port of life. The country is divided
into little farms, which are cultivated
almost with microscope, one might
say, because it is necessary for the
substance of some family, and the
dead are buried in the gravel hills,
where nothing can grow

II y. KALL. EDIT0R.

Everybody in this vicinity and the
newspaperp people in general through
out the state are hoping that some
one will buy the Ottumwa Press who
will keep H. j, Vail in the editorial
harness. Though he has, made a
heroic struggle during his short con-
nection with the paper to keep it
afloat, it was doomed to financial
distress and nothing but big chunk
of ready cash, which was not forth
coming could stay the tide. The
Press is good property and is located
in an excellent field, but the old say
ing, money makes the mare go" fits
its case exactly just now, and with
out it tho plant is likely TO suffer.
Under Mr.. Wallis editorial manage
ment, the expenses were cut down
about 100 per ceut, the subscription
lists were placed upon reliable and
growing basis, and in a modest way
the plant was made to pay, but the
debts contracted before he took
charge we're too much of load.
With all his extra work, doing in
reality two mems work, Mr.. Vail has
demonstrated his wonderful abilities
as writer and has made the Press
one of the most widely quoted papers
in Iowa. He has wonderful fund
Of information, uses graceful Ian
guage, and discusses any subject that
comes up with the insight of student
and the touch of master. Under
more favorable circumstances he
, would be the peer Of any editor in
the state. We hope to see him con.
tinued in the line of work for which
he is SO well fitted, and in which his
genius glows like polished gem.
