Resolutions Adopted

on motion they were unanimously
adopted.
1.-THE Republicans of Mahaska
county in convention assembled de-
clare
That we heartily endorse the adj
ministration off William Mckinley
and congratulate the country on the
return of prosperity and the improved
condition in all branches of business.
We approve the action of congress
in passing the currency bill which
has assured the permanency of the
gold standard giving it the validity
and vitality ofpublic law.
That we heartily endorse the record
of John F. Lacey, our member of
Congress, and in presenting MIN as
candidate for reelection we feel we
are best serving the interests of the
people of this district and state. We
recognize the fact that his continued
service in Congress, combined with
his great natural ability has peculiar
ly fitted him for the task of aiding in
solving the territorial, colonial and
commercial problems that during the
next four years must be worked out
by this country. We therefore in
struct the delegates from Mahaska
county to the Congressional conven-
tion for the Sixth district to use
every honorable means to secure the
denomination of John F. Lacey.
That in George III. Woodson we
recognize an able, active Republican
whose services have always been of
assistance to the Republican party of
this county and district. We endorse
George III. Woodson as a candidate
for alternate to the Republican Ma
tional convention, and the delegates
from Mahaska county to the State
convention, are instructed to use
every honorable means for his cleo
ton.

Russia Competing In Food Products.

With the retur Of normal conditions Of

railway and a sufiiciency of rolling stock

Russia threatens to become a formidable
competitor of this country in the British
and European markets in regard TO a great
variety of agricultural products.
Already Russian butter from beyond
the Ural Mountains Is finding its way into
the English market, and according to a
report from the British Consul at Riga.

year II ,s55, $40 eggs. as against 69,377 500
in 1898, and the export OF butter from the
same port rose from 275 tons In 1898 10
200 tons in 1890. As yet the export OF meat
from northern and eastern Russia has not
begun, nor is it to be- expected from western
Siberia until the population has increased
and the agricultural development Of the
country has become more advanced. The
population, noNeNfI, u SlO"HS idpiuly'
the immigrants from European Russia
having exceeded half a million in the last
two seasons and great attention Is now
given TO cattle raising, The passenger
and freight rates are kept by the Govern
ment az the lowest possible point for the
purpose OF stimulating traffic.
Hitherto the export trade In grain and
meat from Russia has been almost en-
,irely confined TO the South, the grain and
cattle being shipped at Black Sea ports
and finding their way to the Mediterranean
and western Europe by the Bosporus and
Dardanellcs. A certain quantity also
crosses the western frontier into Germany.
