cousin. win Be Renominated.

Cedar Rapids, May 15.-The fifth
district republican convention will be
held in this city Thursday. Hon. Robt.
G. Cousins will be renominated by ac-
clamation, as there is no opposition to
him whatever, notwithstanding the re-
ports sent out from Marshalltown
some time ago. The democratic con-
gressional convention has not yet been
called, and very little is being heard
relative to candidates, but it is quite
generally believed that John NJ. Red
mond, mayor of the city, will be the
nominee.

,Ottumwa Delegates Favored the selec-
tion of Candidate From the Miners
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Labor
News.
1.-THE matter published in this col
umn is prepared by the officers OF the
Federation of Labor.]
From Thursdays Daily.

\
BY a complete change of the con-
stitution Of the State Federation of
Labor, that organization has broad
ened its scope of usefulness to an eX-
tent that will be felt by all the wage
earners of Iowa. The placing of a
state organizer in the field will no
doubt increase the membership very
materially. The concensus of opinion
OF all delegates in attendance was in
favor of determined effort to thoroly
organize the state, with the idea of re-
sisting such legislation as would be a
detriment to the wage earners, and
demanding of the next state legisla-
ture the passage of an anti-convict la
Dor law. The legislative committee
was instructed to resist all efforts that
might be put forth to resist the Eiker
exemption bill.
The evidence in the cases brought by
Sioux City against Burlington and
Council Bluffs Trades and Labor as
semblies showed the great necessity
of better organization in those cities.
The resolutions of censure that were
passed against the above cities should
be an object lesson, and in the end,
benefit.
In the selection of officers Ottumwa
could have secured almost anything
in the category. The delegates in at
tendance from this city were very de-
sirous that some prominent miner in
attendance should be named for the
presidency, especially. But the con-
yention evidently thought it best to
elect a man who is familiar with the
federation movement in Iowa, so the
plum fell to w. Z. O'Bleness, of Des
Moines. In making this selection the
federation of Iowa has placed tried
and experienced man at its head from
whom great results are expected.
Deputy Labor Commissioner Arthur
p. Holder has already made his stay in
Des. Moines useful by helping to insti-
tute lodge of machinists.
The labor committee of our nation
al house of congress has unanimously
reported for passage the eight-hour
bill. 1t is to be noticed that contract
ors generally. and especially the large
ship builders, are opposed to itsspas-
sage. The opportunity is, now good
one to see whichl element has the
greater influence with our representa-
'tives in congress. 1.-The working peo-
| pie are unanimous in their support of
the measure. Here again the work
| ing people, thru their unions, favor
peaceful evolution, while few of the
classes favor eventual revolution.

CLEVELAND SAYS BRYAN.
The Ex-President Says There Is a
 Landslide For Democrats.

Grover Cleveland, former president, in an interview which 1 had with him, says Princeton correspondent of the Philadelphia Times, predicted q land slide to William Jennings Bryan. the democratic candidate for president He advanced several reasons for this belief
 For an hour the great democratic statesman fought shy of any reference to the political situation. He urged that he no longer takes any active in- terest in politics, and is content to quietly look on. Then our conversa- tion turned to the condition in the west, and after a little reminiscent talk Mir Cleveland said:
 My young man, you will see q land slide for Bryan the morning after elec- tion. Of that I am confident
 To this l replieGh that the indications, according to the republican leaders, are favorable to Mckinley, but he quickly retorted:
 ''Of course they are. That is policy; what I tell you is my private opinion"
 There was no doubt concerning the former presidents sincerity in his ex- pressed belief. and when 1 asked him what reasons he had for so thinking, he continued:
 s"You do not understand the condi- tfons. There are elements all over the country at work which it would be i'm possible to draw into line for NIcKin- ley. In the first place. union labor is for Bryan. Of recent years this or ganization of labor has been factor in politics and it certainly is not fav orable to the interests of capital.
 The travelling men are for Bryan. These men, who are a small army, are of the opinion that the republican party is the protector of corporations. and by the amalgamation of industrial interests many of them have been thrown out of employment.
 In the northwest, in Minnesota, Da- kota and Iowa there are many Hol- landers. Sympathy for the Boers. who are their own flesh and blood, will in duce them to support Bryan. See if l am not correct.
 T have no desire to be drawn into any controversy over the results of the election. but if the republican man agers honestly think that President Mckinley will be reelected, it is my opinion they are mistaken. They do not know the situation
 Further than this MT Cleveland re fused to discuss the campaign. He said MT Bryan is q remarkable orator, and has a magnificent personality, which is responsible for his tremend- ous popularity. 1 asked him what the effect of an oratorical campaign is. He said:
 Well. for man who can talk as Bryan does. it is successful method. For a candidate who is not an orator, it would be a dismal failure" MT Cleveland said that in spite of his political inactivity. he had been sought by representatives of all the l leading papers. who are apparently eager to obtain his opinion of the situation. He has steadfastly refused, | because. as he said to-day, T am out of active politics.

Matters Are Seriously Mixed and
 Thousands Have Been Killed.
 New York. Oct 31.-C. B. Hart, United States minister to Colombia, has arrived here and IS on his way to his home in Wheeling, W. Va, said in an interview:
 Matters in Colombia are seriously mixed The liberals started a second revolution a few days ago, and it has developed great strength. The fight ing has been fierce. and up to date the killed and wounded have numbered 3c.00C.
 "While the liberals have met with much success. it is my belief that the government will be eventually success ful. But the revolution is seriously disturbing business. General Prospero Pinzon is in command of the govern ment forces and the revolutionlsts are commanded by General Rafael Uribe. The scene of the trouble is in the de- partment of Cauca.
 'sIn the recent election. San Clemer- ti and Senor Marroguin were elected president and yice-president, respec- lively, San Clement, because of the state of his hearth. could not live in Bogota, and went to Silleta. In his absence Marroguin started a rebellion and assumed the presidency, securing the recognition of all til eforeign pow CTS except the Papal See"

Jennie Lefebvre, Who Ran Away to
 'S3 New York Last Week.
 Jennie Lefebvre, who with Mamie Dillon ran away from home last week to become an actress, was before the. city court this morning charged with being incorrigible. Jennie is about It years old. She wore a red cap, her hair hung in two -braids, one thrown artistically over her left shoulder. She seemed entirely unconcerned. Mrs Le- febvre stated that Jennie is her adopt ed daughter. The adoption was made through the courts when the girl was only fifteen months old. She testified to her going away to New York last week with the Dillon girl and that the latter wore male attire during her ab- sence. Lately she said it has become impossible to control the girls inclina- ton for thieving. Money is her espe- cial object and the day before she ran away she stole her mothers pocket book containing BIO. II Is to pay her way to the theaters that she steals. Jennie had nothing to say for herself and while her mother was in tears at the prospect of their parting Jennie was all smiles. When the time came for her to go she stolidly walked out of the room without even a word of farewell to her weeping mother She was committed to the Industrial School for Girls.

The republican rally in Polls thea ter last night was a success in point of numbers. but that was all. The speakers, though laboring hard to combat the arguments put forward from time to time bN the democrats, fell far short of the mark Ex-Mayor Barlow presided. The Hon Wallace Bruce was the first speaker. He sprung q few jokes upon the crowd about Pats quaint humor, tried to defend the murder of the Filipinos and endeavored to make q laugh of the inn perialistic tendencies of the present administration. The other speaker, Sam Fessenden. devoted most of his time to showing what he considered the weak points of the democratic party and defending the trusts and combines. He thought England had more trusts than we have, and. no doubt, in their zeal to ape the Euro pean powers. the republicans will keep marching on in the trust business. if we allow them to. until they will be able to say that we can boast of more trusts and combines than England or any other country of the old world.

CIark's Mine and Method.

An official statement just made Of the
Clark's copper mine. the United Verde,
in Arizona, shows that the property
yielded last year AZ, $3.50, $50 pounds of
copper, the profit upon the operation of
the mine being s3,7 8 ,522. A dividend of
SO, 900, 900 was paid. The expenses Of op-
Grafton amounted to but 81, 660, 346. This
included nearly $500 0 spent in pros
pecting. and $21S,00O charged to depre-
citation, nearly $500, 900 for freight, and
81, 00O,O 900 for converter expenses. and
$500, 900 for mine development. Included
in the above items for general expenses
was nearly $500, 900 for construction. But
charging all these expenses to the
years output would not make the cost
of producing copper and marketing it
" 10 cents per pound. The state
ment shows that the profit was slightly
over 5 cents per pound. The selling
price, however, is not stated. As the
senator owns all but 10000 of the shares
of stock, the money he spent in giving
800 friends a good time in Montana can
be missed. But 1t is not at all fair
for the senator to make his millions in
Arizona and Montana and scatter them
in Montana alone. If he hereafter
wishes a cheap senatorship, he should
get a state made of Arizona and give
the men of the sun-baked hills a show
for the money. The fact that Arizona is
and Clark a high protec-
ton advocate would not hurt him in
Arizona if he introduced his Montana
of politics.
