at home instead Of voting. If even
one.haif of the 1880 who remained
away had gone to the polls and cast
their ballots every candidate on the
ticket with perhaps one exception,
would have been elected. And if OIL
had voted there would have been nc

THE DIMINISHED vi VOTE.

The Des Moines Register has reached
the conclusion that relative to popula-
ton the vote east}on the 9Th inst. is tie
smallest Iowa ever reported. 1t says:
4 "Thes semi. official returns indicate
that the vote for Hon. A. B. Cummins
will be about 225, 900, which will be
falling Of of SO ,sOs from the vote for
President Mckinley last year, and was
$4,000 votes less than Gov. Shaw receiv.
ed two years ago. The vote for the
democratic candidate for governor this
year will be about 137, ,00O-a falling off
of 72 ,l79 from the Iowa vote for Bryan
in 1900, and of 46, ,226 from the vote cast
for governor two years ago. The de-
crease in the republican vote this year
is about 81 per cent and the democratic
vote is about 35 per cent, on the vote Of
last year. Of course, the official count
may change the percentage to some ex-
tent, but the Registers figures are based
on returns received by telegraph from
the county auditors Of the state and are
therefore as reliable as figures can be
obtained by telegraph. The apathy of
the voters of Iowa this year was nm
equaled and unaccountable. The total
falling of in the republican and demo-
cratic vote this year, as shown by the
semi.oficial returns from the county
auditors, is l54 1887, or little more than
80 per cent Of the vote for president last
year. The labor for the county and leg
islative tickets was the only thing which
prevented still larger decrease in the
vote Of both parties and the official re.
turns will prove that if the whole repub.
lican vote had been cast the republicans
would have carried every county in
Iowa. The national census of 1900 gives
Iowa 635. .29S men Of voting age. About
362, 900 votes were cast for the republican
and democratic candidates for governor
this year, therefore, if the increased
numbers Of voters, since the new census
was taken, are added, it will be seen
that but little more than half of the
total vote of Iowa was cast in 1901"
1t is impossible that "the official re.
turns can prove that if the whole repub.
lican vote had been cast the republicans
would have carried every county in
Iowa" The case of Dubuque alone
negatives the assumption. Phillips re-
,ceived A, US in this count y and McKin-
ley but 1852, so that if the entire repub.
lican vote had been cast Dubuque would
still be democratic on the state ticket.
Yet the decline in the Dubuque vote
was almost as heavy as throughout the
state. The total for Cummins and Phil
lips was 2,l2l, or 1876 per cent less than
for Mckinley and Bryan, and the dem.
ocrats were the heaYier losers, for while
their total fell % per cent plus, that Of
the republicans fell but per cent.
Taking the 1899 figures, Cummins gain
ed 648 votes compared with Shaw and
Phillips lost 1855, as compared with

Our state legislators are not the only
ones who make laws with defects in
them. There is law compelling rail
roads to have, automatic couplers on
their cars. Under this law Brakeman
White brought suit for $4,000 damages
against the Chicago Great Western rail-
way for injuries received while coupling
an engine and tender at Marshalltown
last June, the engine being fitted with
the old style coupling pin and link.
The case came up before Judge McPher-
son in the federal court at Des Moines
last week and he decided that as neither
the state or federal statutes provided fol
automatic couplers on engines and that
the engine is not car, therefore the
railroad company is not bound to put
automatic couplers on the engines. The
case may be taken to the supreme court
Of the United States.

According to statistics in the office OF

gers, but trespassers on the right of way
or men stealing ride. A great many of
those injured were railroad employees.
OF the 222 who were killed, seven were
passengers, sixty-fve were employees
and fifteen trespassers. Of the injured
lO4 we're passengers, 623 were employees
and l4O were outside of these two clas-
siications. Eighteen of the thirty roads
IN Iowa reported accidents. The largest
number occurred on the Chicago &
Northwestern, while the Burlington,
Rock Island, Milwaukee and Illinois
Central were not far behind. There
we're built during the year 212 miles of
new railroad, but in the previous year
the mileage increased over 500 miles.
The railroad commissioners believe in
another year the mileage will come up
Il to 10000 miles, the total now being g.
364.49. The total tonnage reported
from the Iowa roads last year increased
from Is ,457 ,O46 to 13 ,502,S2l tons. Some
of the lines have not submitted estimates
to the commissioners.

Fatality of Cipher Years.

course no attention was paid to the re-
marks, but a review of the facts shows
series of startling condolences. The
first president elected in n cipher year
way Thomas jefferson, in 1900, and the
second was james Monroe, in 1870.
Both served out their terms. In 1s4O
w. II. Harrison was elected, and died
shortly after taking office. In 1850
Lincoln was elected, and assassinated
shortly after the beginning of his second
term. In 1850 Garfield was elected, and
also assassinated in few months. Nc
kjnley WAS elected the second time in
1860, and has been shot. Thus out of
six presidents elected in cipher wears
only two have escaped fatalities. Such
condolences have an interest for the

The attempted assassination of Presi.

The attempted assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley has caused more genu-
inc regret and sorrow among the peo-
pie of Dolores, than anything, of
national character, that has happened
since the writer has been resident of
this city. Politics have been laid aside
and from the fullness of the heart have
come sincere expressions Of regret.
News regarding the Presidents condi-
uon has been eagerly sought, and the
report that he would recover was re-
celved with joy. Nothing but words
of condemnation have been uttered for
the tiend who would dare do such a
thing, and for those of his belief.

Patience With the Potomac.

The Potomac water supply has been so
tUrbid of late as to arouse the indignant
protests of consumers. as vehement in
many cases as in former years when there
was no prospect of relief. The fact that
Congress has just provided large sum
for the immediate installation of a filter
plant appears to have little if any mollify-
ing effect upon complainants. To be sure
this assurance of relief does not in point
OF physical fact make the distaste of the
consumer for the turbid water less acute
1t does not clarity the fluid or remove the
lurking suspicion that the yellow matter
held in suspension may hide countless colo
MES of harmful bacteria. But when the
case is broadly considered there is assured
ly room for a feeling of reinsurance and
of a little more patience with the turbfd
supply than in the years when the future
held no promise of rescue from the discol-
ored water. The filter plant ordered by
Congress will of course require many
months for it's installation, but when once
it Is in service 1t Is certain to bring great
relief to the community, and to put a
permanent stop to the periodical protests
against the condition OF the supply. So
the few yisitations of half dissolved mari
in the drinking water which are bound to
occur between now and the happy time
when the filtration beds begin to operate
ought to be borne with some philosophy
