Now that the brave Major Con-
ger and the other foreigners in Pc
king have been rescued from the
jaws OF death by the gallant forces
of the allied powers, it will be in
order for Bryan to set forth in long
harrangue the crime committed by
President Mckinley in sending Unit
ed States soldiers to China, and the
awful intrigues of this country in
forming alliances with the crowned
heads of Europe. oh, what a chance
for his oratory and oh, how the pat
riotic people of the nation will beat
him over the head if he makes use
of his opportunity!

The auctioneers in state conven-
tion at Des Moines few days ago de-
clared in favor of having commits
sion appointed to look after their in
terests. The Waterloo Reporter
thinks that if the state undertook to
appoint all the commissions that have
.teen asked for in the last two years
the state treasury would look like a
cyclone cellar, and there wouldn't be
private citizens enough in the state
to hold a caucus. The commission
idea has run amuck for long time
without doing much damage, but it
might as we'll be impounded now.

benefit of the Association.
Per Contra. .--Towne came, after
due and timely notice shat he would
speak, bored his audience for
three mortal hours, -disarranged the
program that had been prepared for
the day, and charged the Association
SI25.O0 for his long-drawn out haran-
que. He promised to make but a
reasonable charge for his speech,
and because he got in his speech be-
fore he named the sum, he evidently
thought he could charge as long as
he could hold his breadth.
This is the difference between the
two men. Mr.. Lacey is willing to
give his time and talents for the
benefit of a most worthy, educational
observation-disclosures is in the busi-
ness for the money there is in it, and
the interest of the association, and
the cause for which it is established
may go to grass, or elsewhere, lit is
the cold cash that induces him to de-
liver political or other addresses.
Perhaps Mr.. Towne is influenced by
the example of his illustrious proto-
types, Bryan and "soekless" Simp-
son, both of whom have become rich
by diligent use of their ''wind
pumps"

Newton Journal: A complete
and unanswerable refutation to Mr..
Towne's three hour harraDgue, at
the Colfax Assembly, against govern

of our new possessions because we
cannot help them thereby, was given
on the same platform after Mr.. Tow

the lowest tribes of Africa, taken
from their native degradation, and
worse than brute habits; and by
civilized, Christian training, singing
the story of redeeming love, the

-Ho Vow, Chinese consul general
at San Francisco, in an address be-
fore the Ebell society questioned the
pdvisability even from the Caucasian
standpoint of converting the entire
Chinese population to Christianity.

creasing in vast numbers. They are
quick to learn, and taking these facts
into consideration, what would hap

FOR AN ELECTRIC ROAD.

The city council and the city in
general has come face to face with a
proposition that is deserving the
most careful consideration, and a
condition that should be thoroughly
canvassed and understood before
any action is taken. The Electric
Light company and the Street Gar
company, both of whom have prop
critics here, are bidding for con-
tract to light the city. Coupled with
the street car company's bid is a
proposition to put in an electric
street railway, an Improvement that
every citizen in Oskaloosa would be
glad to see made. II they get the
contract and put in a new light plant
Oskaloosa would have two light
plants, condition which would like
ly be detriment in place of a bene-
fit to the city, in as much as neither
plant would do profitable business,
and the service as a consequence
would suffer. 1t is unfair also to
jeopardize the business of concerns
of this kind; we refer to the street
ear company as weil as the light
company.
A happy solution of the affair, and
one that does not seem altogether
improbable, would be combination
of interests, and new and liberal
franchise which would insure an
electric road and a profitable light
plant, and would eliminate much
unpleasantness that has existed in
business circles. "Greater Oska-
loosa" should be the watchword OF
every citizen in Oskaloosa, but in
obtaining the goal we snould not
ride rough shod over properties that
represent years of sacrifice and hard
work, and which are to a certain ex,
tent part of everybody's belong,
ings. There is nothing that would
advertise Oskaloosa more, and give
her better standing as city thar
an electric railroad, and we sincere
ly hope some combination may be
made whereby this can be secured
without making any business inter
est suffer.

-Montezuma Republican: Edward
D. <Rayburn, who recently made trip
to the leading cities of the east, says
that there is not much enthusiasm for
Bryan in that section. He says that
Mckinley and Roosevelt pictures are
visible everywhere but none of Bryan
and the other fellow. People back
there are in politics as business and
any measure or any man that prom
ises to injure business, make of no
avail legitimate investments and rem
der uncertain money and property
value have no encouragement. For
this reason Mr.. Rayburn says the east
will largely vote for Mckinley again

THE DIFFERENCE,

Newton Journal: Major John F.
Lacey arrived at Oskaloosa the day
before he spoke at the meeting OF
the State Epworth League. On his
desk he found a large number of let
ters, that had accumulated during
his absence from home, among them
was one asking him to talk at Colfax,
and appointing the next day for his
address. Travel-worn with his long,
hot, dusty ride, he fain would have
rested few days, But his friends
asked the favor of bim,-the Assem-
bly, wanted him. The next day he
was on time for his appointment. He

Iowa democracy certainly has
bitter pill to swallow at this falls elec-
ton. With free silver crammed down
the throats of Iowa democrats, nine
tenths of whom were in favor of leav-
ing specific declaration of sixteen to
one out of the platform, the dose is
supplemented by the action of the
state convention at Cedar Rapids in
placing rank populist to head the
state ticket. With these two evils
confronting them, there is but little
wonder that democrats all over the
state are disgruntled and will not sup
port the ticket this fall.

RAILROAD RUMOR.
The Iowa Central to Become
Part of a Great System.

Des Moines, Aug. %, The Leader
says: "October 1, will probably see
some important developments in
the Iowa railroad situation, develop
ments that will undoubtedly deter
mine the future of the Iowa Central
and Minneapolis & st. Louis roads.
For two years it has been persist
emily asserted in railroad circles that
the Illinois Central has secured con-
troi of the Minneapolis Il st. Louis
road, or at least of that portion ofthe
system extending from st, Paul
through Albert Lea and Fort Dodge
to Angus. This claim has been borne
out by the practical merging of that
portion of the road with the Omaha
branch Of the Illinois Central in the
operation of through st. Paul and
Omaha service. Later, however,
when the stockholders in the Min
neapolis & st. Louis road acquired
the Iowa Central it was claimed that
Illinois Central negotiations were al
an end. Now it is claimed by well
informed railroad men that the whole
transaction is only portion of ne
gotiations by the Illinois Central tc
secure a route to the gulf from st
Paul and Minneapolis, independent
of Chicago, and which will be short
er than any existing route, aud thai
the purchase of the st. Louis, Peorit

vision to Albert Lea, from which
point the Minneapolis & st. Louis
tracks will be used into Minnesota
and st. Paul, To complete this link
twenty-five mile extension is now
being built from Lyle to Albert Lea.
Thus is brought to light another evil
denee of the close relations of the
two roads. Further than this, en-
gineers are now in the field survey
ing line from Manley Junction in
Worth county, the present terminus
of the Iowa Central, to point on the
new extension from Lyle to Albert
Lea, distance of about eighteen
miles, and it is claimed this is for the
purpose of connecting up the Iowa
Central with the Minneapolis g. st.
Louis roads so as to shorten the dis
tance by way of Corwith ,sthe present
junction point, by about thirty miles.
Railroad men recognize what is GO
ing on and are counting on this COM

RUMOR RUNS RIOT.

Somebody read an account of the
storm at Sheboygan in the papers
Tuesday morning and told somebody
about it. Number two mistook the
name for Des Moines and told num-
Der three that Des Moines had been
visited by a cyclone. Number three
told number four that the storm
started at Omaha, and number four
told number five that both cities had
been wiped off the map. A little
storm cloud gathered in the west and
by the time number 10 had heard the
story it ran like this: "Omaha and
Des Moines have been completely
destroyed by e cyclone and the
monster is headed for Oskalo osa. y
Then the trouble began in earnest.
The telephones in the HERALD Office
began to jingle and for two hours
two people stood at the instruments
and tried to calm the excited popu'
lace, while the perspiration rolled in
streams off their bodies. 1t was a
seige almost equal to the work of the
gunners in Manila Bay but all to no
purpose. 1t does beat the world how
rumor will start and grow, and
multiply until the end of the world
turns up in plain view.

FREE RURAL DELTVERY

Rural free delivery continues to
grow in size and favor. On the first
of July there were / 1858 carriers, 800
offices costing the government s631, :
500 year. 1t is expected that dur
ing the current year 200 more Offices
will be established with $500 more
carriers. In the First district of
Iowa there are % routes, in the sec
ond, 10; in the Third, Is; in the
Fourth, 8; in the Fifth, II; in the
Sixth, s; in the Seventh, 1; in the
Eighth, 8; in the Ninth, /, and in the
Tenth, 5. The greater the mail fa-
cilities the more the mails are used
and the revenues are found to be
rapidly increasing to meet the ad-
ditional expense. But aside from all
financial consideration the system
tends to widen the educational in
fluences, to bring the people closer
in touch and to save time to those
who otherwise would be compelled
to travel some distance to reach
even the nearest postoffice.
