HON. j. A. DUNN.

Hon. ]. A. Dunn, of Bloomfield, who
was elected one of the delegates to
represent the Sixth district in the ma
tional republican convention at Phila-
delphia, is successful business man
OF high standing, and is the republican
mayor of the democratic city OF
Bloomfield. Mr.. Dunn is engaged in
the cigar manufacturing business. He
is a native Of Bloomfield. having been
born there in 1861, was educated in the
public schools of that place and is
well and favorably known by almost
every man, woman and child in Davis
county. He was elected mayor OF
Bloomfield in 1896 on the republican
ticket, this being the first republican
victory in that town in many years.
He was reelected this spring. Pre-
vious to his election as mayor he had
served two terms as a member of the
city council. Mr.. Dunn was married
in 1883 to Miss Lou A. Wise, popu-
lar Bloomfield girl. Delegate Dunn,
has been one of the faithful band
of republican workers, who year in
and year out in the face of populism,
fusion and political combine Of all
manners and kinds, have kept alive the
fire of true republicanism in Davis
county. His selection as delegate TO
the republican convention is an honor
worthily bestowed.

Congressman Deliver is one of the
Few orators now in congress. In these
days OF a general decadence Of ora
tory, when the printing press has sup
planted the platform as means Of
popular discussion of political issues,
the danger is that legislation will lose
the embellishments of polished speech
and fall entirely under the control OF
committees whose reorts may become
a finality. So long as such men as Dol
liver are sent to the house, however,
oratory, as a feature of national Leg
islation, will not die out.
ut needs but cursory glance over
the distinguished personnel Of the
Iowa delegation to realize the COM
handing position of the Hawkeye
state in national affairs. In addition
to Allison and Gear in the senate and
General Henderson in the Speaker
chair, the state has such representa-
tives as Hepburn, Lacey, Deliver,
Cousins and Hull, all of whom have
been actively identified with some Of
the most important constructive legis-
lation in the house. 1t is only thru
the Iowa policy of returning to con-
gress men who have demonstrated
their capacity for national affairs that
a state can WELD any appreciable IN
fuence in shaping national icgisla-
tion.n

A TERRIBLE NECESSITY.

When we read in current reports
from South Africa that Boer women
are found dead in the trenches after
nearly every battle, we cannot avoid
feeling deep sympathy for the people
OF the Transvaal, no matter how our
minds may be poised on the general
subject of the war. There seems to
be no doubt that the women of the
republic are lending hand in the
struggle for! the retention OF their
homes. The Armenian women did the
same in the attempt to repel the Rus
slams from Asia Minor. Warrior wom-
en- are found on many pages of the
worlds history.
The same hysteria that spread over
walked or preached and eliminated in
the crusades was largely sustained by
DANES of high birth. Every lady of
quality had her lover knight who per-
sonally represented her on the battle
field. In the second Crusade many
German noble women participated.
Thew were splendidly mounted and
equipped with shield and spear. The
feminine love of fnery was not aban-
doned. Their leader had for title,
"The Golden-Footed Dame" There
were women knights of the orders Of
the Hospitallers and of ST. John.
Women, fighting at the gates and
atop the walls, saved the Spanish town
of Tortosa from capture by the Moors.
Scott has told us that it was the
height of fashion in the fifteenth cen
fury for ladies of the court to fence
and actually to ride to battle in armor.
Had not Jeanne d Arc-witnessed such a
spectacle the poor peasant woman
would never have had the courage to
don male attire, much less to draw a
sword and lead an army. Nobody has
forgotten the Maid of Saragosa; and
in our own history we have Molly
Pitcher, who became gunner when
emergency was great. During the
civil war women north and south serv-
ed as scouts, and a few cases were
discovered where they actually fought
in the ranks. During Cuba's long
struoqle for liberty, many women us
ed the rifle in the field.
This all brings us to the hard fact
that woman, trained in the use of the
gun as are the wives and daughters
of the Boer farmers, is a very dan
gerous foe. If she wild kill she must
accept the fortunes of war, and, horri-
bic as is the thought, the death that
lies in bullets path. This is probably
the terrible task that Kruger theat-
ened in his declaration Of war--the
necessity of shooting women with
guns in their hands by the conquerors.

but he could not stop the bloodshed
by saying SO, because it would be in
consistent with his present course"
Mr.. Bryan, perhaps, does not realize
what factor he is in the present re-
bellion. If he knew it, he would prob
ably end it by disavowing any inten-
ton of recognizing the rebel govern
ment in any case.
Whether Bryan is elected or not,
will make no difference in these con-
ditions until fall, at least. Until he is
finally defeated and the scattered in
surgents have all received the news,
they will continue to fight and plum
der, believing that if they can hold out
until March. 1901, the new American
administration will withdraw the ar
my, recognize the Aguinaldo govern
ment, and probably leave a fleet here
under Aguinaldo's orders to protect
tation from without.
! We know of our own knowledge,
that the insurgents universally be-
that holds them together, for we have
talked to the insurgent prisoners, as
well as to the friendly natives, and

been captured by the insurgents and
escaped. The company tailor of NJ
company, this regiment, for example,
was captured in a skirmish at Cabinti,
January "a, and is now back with the
regiment, after three weeks captivity.
The insurgent officers, some of whom
talked English well, sounded him a
good deal, and told him that when
Bryan was elected all the American
soldiers would be ordered home and
| the insurgents recognized. The Fill
Pine soldiers talked about Bryan con-
tinually, and believed he would be
elected soon, and turn the island over
to them.
All the Filipinos know about Bryan
and talk about him, and ask questions
about him of the soldiers. A man of
my company told a Filipino at Santa
Cruz that Bryan would never be elect
ed. The man said he surely would,
then the United States would have
free silver, and all the Americans
world have to go home from the Phil
lippines. They all say Bryan is very
great man, when you mention his
name.
The soldiers take notice of all this,
and I have heard them say, while
trudging along at the heavy end of a
hard days march: "Bryan, Bryan,
damn Bryan. | am tired of hearing
the Filipinos talk about Bryan. If it
wasn't for him we could go home, in
stead of hiking all over these noun
tains chasing Insurgents

A Des Moines dispatch says that an
omission has been discovered in the act
which passed the legislature this win
ter, legalizing pharmacy permits in
Iowa granted prior to October 1, 1897,
when the new code went into effect
BY this omission at least dozen or
fifteen pharmacists are doing business
under illegal permits. Under the old
code these permits were issued with
out any reference to time, and they
held good until revoked by process Of
law. The new code provided for a
time limit to be placed upon them in
the discretion Of the judge who grant
ed the permits some days after the
new code went into effect before this
change in the law became generally
known, and in the meantime num-
Der of permits were granted and
made out under the old law, after the
new code went into effect. 1t is these
permits for which the legalizing act
makes no provision. 1t is simply a
question OF whether the judges who
granted these certificates will correct
them or refuse to do and compel new
permits to be secured. The mistake
in issuing them under the old form
lies with the county clerks who made
out the certificates, and it may be
that the judges will refuse to correct
an error that is not theirs. An effort
will be made to get this done. The
first case OF the kind will appear in
the Cerro Gordo courts this week. II

BRYAN AND THE INSURGENTS.

The following letter, showing the
hopes placed by the Filipino insurgents
in the election of Mr.. Bryan as pres
ident of the United States, and that
this one thing is keeping the rebellion
alive, was written by captain in the
volunteer service of the Aneric3n ar
my to his family. 1t speaks for itself:
Lucban, Tayabas Prov, Luzon, T. /.
February 10, 1900.
The officers and soldiers in the army
in the Philippines are pretty careful
students of the causes of the continu-
alton of this. rebellion. And there is
one opinion freely expressed and gem
eral among them all-namely, that the
one thing that is keeping the rebellion
alive is the hope of the election of Mr..
Bryan as president of the United
States.
The army is convinced of this, be-
cause friendly natives all over the
island continually advance this as the
hold out to their followers, and in
surgent prisoners frequently make
the assertion.
The troops, in going thru the island,
have picked up many copies of the diff
ferent insurgent publications, now
suppressed, which claim that Mr.. Bry-
an will be elected, and has promised
to withdraw the American troops and
turn the islands over to the Aguinal-
do government.
I have more times than I can count
heard officers and men say, "The
blood of every American killed from
now on is upon the head of Mr.. Bryan.
He can stop this rebellion at any mo-
ment by announcing that he does not
|sympathize with the rebels, and will
not recognize them if elected" And
they add, further, "But he will never
do this, because he needs this point in
his campaign. If he should be elected,
he would never recognize the rebels,
