TO THE CITIZENS OF IOWA.

Did it ever occur to you how much
more it is worth to the state of Iowa
to have governor like Leslie M.Shaw,
talking sound money, and presenting
facts as to the vast resources of the
state, than it was to have governor
like Horace Boies, with his declaration
that the more corn an Iowa farmer
raised, the poorer he would become.
The Courier editor will never forgen
the shock of hearing an intelligent
capitalist in the city of Philadelphia, a
few years ago, when Horace Boies was
governor, declare that he was afraid
TO loan his money on Iowa farm mort
cages. Think of it! Actually afraid
to loan his money on one of the best
securities on earth. In profound as
constituent the writer asked the rea-
son ''why?" Because said the cap1-
talist. your governor says the Iowa
farmers are all losing money and can't
pay their debts Now the fact is
that Mr.. Boies never said this, but he
said something that made this false
impression on the eastern capitalist.
1t was black eye that was serious
enough, but which would have been
far more SO had not the facts been so
Overwhelmingly "agin the guv'nor."
Today the Iowa man visiting the east
hears very different kind of express
sion. Universally the opinion prevails
that iowa is all right" as in fact she
is, and that prosperity prevails. 1t pays
for a state to sinvest" in the right
kind of a governor.

THE STATE LIBRARY.

A bill is now before the legislature,
providing among other things, for an in
crease in the compensation of the state
librarians. The public generally will
be surprised to learn that the present
salary of that official IS only $1,000 per
year. 1t should be not less than
500, and it is to be hoped that the
bill now under consideration will so
provide. The state has been exceed
ingly fortunate in securing the SER
vices of man of the broad scholar
ship and literary attachments of the
present incumbent, Hon. johnson
Brigham. Under his direction the
state library is today assuming a
character and standing worthy of the
people of Iowa. Such abilities and such
services as Mr.. Brigham is giving to
this position, are just what the library
has long needed, and they are deserv-
ing of recognition and a fair and rea-
sonable compensation. $4,000 per year
without other emoluments, is none too
much, and if the salary of the state
librarian is placed at that figure, it
will meet with the general approval
Of che people. The position, properly
filed, requires executive ability
of high order, and Iowa connat afford
to have state positions of this charac-
ter filled by other than the best talent
that can be secured.

BRIGHTER DAYS

Roberts is in Boer territory with an
army of $4,000 men. This is the fact
that has made all Britain smile joy
fully yesterday and today, and has
brought forth from many an English
mouth the inevitable Il told you so.'
British faith in Little .Bobs. is way
above par. and the more sanguine al
ready begin to see, in Imagination, the
end of the war.
Roberts move is certainly an advan-
tage gained by the British and it makes
the SITUATION brighter for them than
it has been since the war began. 1T is
safe to say, however, that the end is not
yet by any means. Many hard battles
some of them bloodier and fercer than
any already waged, remain to be
fought, and much hardship and suffer.
ing is yet to be endured before peace
will come. Our British cousins have
borne their reverses well and with a
manly spirit. If success comes to them
may they still remember the hour OF
defeat and show that they can stand
prosperity gracefully.

welcome law that would give PEN
sion to every union soldier who served
ninety days during the war Of the
rebellion aud secured an honorab BILE
discharge. When the pension is grant
ed the certificates for pay should be
sent direct from Washington, thus do
ing away with all pension agents, both
those who pay the soldiers on their
checks, as well as those Who prosecute
claims for them. The ninety days
honorable discharge would be suffi-
Gent evidence that the holder is en-
titled to a pension. The saving gain
ed would be almost sufficient to pay
the increased pensions. and in time
would do so altogether. This much
for the soldier proper; but how dis
gusting it is to know of man who
draws big pension and then habitu-
ally damns the government from which
he obtains it. He is despicable
wretch who would do so-yet we have
'em.

PORTO RIcAN TARIFF.

The report that the president would
antagonize the senate committee of
ways and means and the committee
on Pacific islands and Porto Rico with
reference to that part of their bill
which proposes a duty of 25 per cent
of the regular tariff upon goods eS-
ported and imported from Porto Rico,
has been speedily denied, The president
is in no way an obstructionist, and
moreover he has been chairman of
the ways, and means committee him
self, and knows something of the ar
|duous duties of such bodies. It is said
upon good authority that Mr.. McKin-
LEY still believes in and desires abso-
lutelv free trade between Porto Rico
and the United States. He has seen no
reason to change his mind since he
made the recommendations for free
trade in his annual message, but he
considers that it is as much the affair
of the senate as it is his, and seems
willing to defer in some part to their
wi shes et
