HON. JAMES H. TREWIN
of Lansing, Iowa.
You Got it all.

| iVu wv IL
To the People of the United States,
Greeting:
-Four years ago
You demanded work for your idle
sons.
You got it. You never had so many
peopled employed as now.
You wanted your idle capital to be
employed.
You got it.
You wanted to see the army of
tramps mustered out.
They are gone.
You wanted your soup houses closed.
They are closed.
You wanted to get rid of the re-
ceivers of your railways and banks.
They are gone.
You wanted to see the smoke coming
from the stacks of your smelters, mills
and factories.
1t came. Many have since been
kicking about the smoke nuisance.
You wanted the savings bank de-
poslts to increase.
Never so large in your history as at
present.
You wanted to see interest rates de-
crease that your people could borrow
more cheaply wherewith to develop
your resources.
You got it. Interest has never been
SO low as now.
You demanded more money. The
circulation must be increased per
capita.
You got it. 1t has increased with
marvellous rapidity for four years.
You demanded that one dollar be
just as good as another.
You got it. That is the kind we
have now, and you can get all the sill
yer or paper you want at any bank.
You demanded the markets of the
world for your surplus products and
goods.
You got it. Got it so suddenly it
almost dazzled you.
You wanted us to stop borrowing
money in Europe.
We stopped it, and Europe is now
borrowing money from us.
You wanted the government to col
lect every dollar of the Pacific railroad
debt, instead of portion, as Mr..
Cleveland proposed.
Mr.. Mckinley made them pay every
cent, principal and interest.
You wanted Cuba liberated.
1t is done.
You wanted the rights of our people
maintained at home and abroad.
1t has been done.
What you really wanted the worst
was what Mr.. Mckinley promised:
"An honest dollar and a chance to
earn it.n
You got both. Not from the Bryan
ties, but it was none the less accept
able to the man behind the dinner
bucket.
Ifyou want more things of this sort
you can get them from the same
source. Youis devotedly,
AMMI PETTIGREw.

THE DOLLIVER MEETING
WILL ATTRACT A LARGE CROWD
Indications That TOmOrrow's Republi-
can Rally will be Grand
Success.

The present outlook for the big
Dolliver meeting in Decorah tomorrow
Thursday afternoon is that it will
surpass all previous similar occasions
in Decorah, and that an immense crowd
will be here to listen to Iowa's eminent
senator. Word is coming in from all
parts of the country to the effect that
a big crowd will come, and chairman
Marsh and the rest Of the committee
are very busy preparing for it.
Senator Dolliver will be met by a
committee at Ossian and will arrive
on the Burlington train at LAO p. In.
He will be met by the Decorah City
Band, Winnesheik Republican Club,
Luther College Band, Luther College
Republican Club, and probably Rough
Rider clubs from Castalia, Frankville,
Ridgeway and other points in the
county. He will be escorted to the
city hitching grounds, where man.
moth tent has been pitched and the
speach will be given. Congressman
G. N. Haugen, of Northwood, Ex-
Congressman ]. H. Sweeney, of Usage,
and other prominent gentlemen are
expected to be here, and great meet
ing is anticipated. At five o'clock a
special train will leave Decorah, car
rying the speaker and number of
Decorah people to NcGregor,. where
he speakes in the evening. The train
will leave McGregor at ten o'clock,
returning to Decorah.
Further arrangements for the meet
ing will be announced by the commit.
tee before the Republican Club meeting
tonight. Meanwhile, let everyone
arrange to come to Decorah and hear
Iowa's peerless orator, Senator j. p.
Dolliv;r.

MCCLURE's MAGAZINE for Novem-
ber will contain vivid account of the
siege of the Foreign Legations in Pekin,
written as diary by Katharine Multi
kin Lowry, one of the besieged. 1t
will relate in full many of the soul
stirring events that we already know,
and will make clear many incidents
upon which we have hitherto had
little light. 1t will be illustrated with
plans of Pekin, of the Legation Quar-
tiers, and of the British Legation.

SENATOR DOLLIvER said the other
day that he was having the best cam
paigning tour that he had ever enjoyed
in Iowa. "One old farmer in Adams
county," said Senator Dolliver, "re-
marked to me that, as far as he was
concerned, he thought it was blanked
sight more important that he should
have a winter overcoat than it was
that Aguinaldo should have writ of
habeus corpus" Another one whom
met said they couldn't make him
believe that this imperialism was the
'catamOunt ISSUE

If the private letters from officers
serving in the Philippines could reach
the public there would be no doubt of
the fact that the insurgents present
activity is caused by the hopes they
have of Bryan's election. To say the
least il is an unfortunate position to be
placed in when his words and avowed
policy give hope and encouragement.

BRYAN denied the report that he
had promised cabinet position to
Croker. The fact seems to be that
Bryan has promised nothing except
to kick the spinal column out of the
gold standard and to make the Ameri-
can flag in the Philippines look like a
back-number porous plaster.

IF American craftsmanship had no
better representatives than such men
as Bryan, Altgeld, Pettigrew and Til.
Imam, the country would have to con-
fess that "the white mans burden"
was too heavy. But the mantles of
Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln have
been inherited by others as patriotic as
they, who will not pawn their judg-
ement for nominations or trade their
influence for votes.
The Curtis Publishing Company
bought The Saturday Evening Post
because it believed that the public
which demands its newspaper twice a
day, would want popular literary
magazine once a week, provided it
adjusted itself to the new conditions
and rightly gauged the demand of the
twentieth century. And that demand,
it felt, would be for magazine of the
best qnality that money and brain
could make, sold at as low price as
modern machinery and methods could
produce it. To improve the quality
and the same time lower the price of
publication, two things are necessary
"a great circulation and the best
machinery that human ingenuity can
can divise. The first has been achiev-
ed, for the Saturday Evening Post has
a weekly circulation of a quarter of a
million, and new subscriptions are
coming in at the rate of thousand a
day. Again its ten new presses have
just been installed in its new eight
story building, which together with
its old facilities, give 1t the largest and
most complete periodical plant In the
world.

THAT all the great powers have
adopted the policy of the American
Administration in dealing with the
perplexing Chinese question is evil
dence of the wisdom which rules in
our State Department and the respect
shown abroad for American opinions.

The Report of This Years Fair Read
and New Officers

Though the attendance at the annual

A Great Play.

Every student of the worlds history
will be interested keenly in the roman
tic play that forms Robert B. Man
tells offering this season, w. A. Ire
mayne's powerful drama, IA Free
Lance" This work, which has the en-
dorsement of the most exacting critics,
introduces to the stage for the first
time that most enthralling era in the
history of Europe, the political chaos
of North Germany in the year 1450.
So well has the dramatist adapted this
period to the purposes of the stage that
a graphic and appealing dramatic story
is unfolded while conveying at the
same time an accurate idea of this most
picturesque epoch of history, one of
which so little has been written in
popular vein and yet one of which all
who pride themselves upon general
knowledge are anxious to learn. Many
eminent historians have read the play
and have eagerly congratulated Mr..
Mantell and Manager M. w. Hanley
upon the educational value of their
present fine dramatic offering.
SINCE Jonathan P. Dolliver was
made senator they are telling variet-
ary of yarns on him, few of which
are true and the rest are base fabrica-
tions. Here is one that is absolutely
true and has never before been pub
lished: Jonathan was country school
teacher in Webster county before he
was sentenced to congress. At that
time he just chewed tobacco, now he
eats the weedi One winter he had a
favorite corner where he pitched his
tobacco juice with his peculiar Virginia
curves, and there was an awful puddle
in that corner. One morning about
| the middle of the term Jonathan car
ried a shovel to the school house and
before he took up the intellectual work
of the day he shoveled out part of
the puddle. While thus engaged he
told the boys that the county superin-
tendent and the directors would come
to visit them that day and they must
look as respectable as possible. Then
he brought the coal scuttle to the front,
and all the boys that chewed were in
vited forward and they were requested
not to spit anywhere that day
only in the scuttle, and that when
they heard the superintendent and the
directors coming they would empty
the coal, ct cetera into the stove. The
officials made their appearance at l:30
p. M, the contents of the scuttle were
dumped into the stove, the fire went
out, the paramount issue that day was
16 to zero, the school room got very
cold, and before he got the fire kindled
1t was p. m. and time to go home.
Soft coal smoke and six hands round,
but didn't Jonathan have dickens OF
a time explaining why that stove
didn't draw!-Waverly Independent.
