VIGILANCE COMMIT TEE AT
EUl TON.

On account of there being no night
policeman for the city OF Fulton, Il Wig
lance committee took charge of the
protection OF the town last night. A
strange negro arrived IN the city Fri
day and proceeded TO edo the town.
He stole quite number of articles,
among them fine hat from one of our
citizens.
Mr.. Niger was located by the COM
mittee and placed under arrest. A
kangaroc court was held, and it was
the unanimous verdict that he should
be given 100 lashes with board. His
clothes were taken Off and the board
applied, after which he was given Is
minutes to leave town. Well, it is
needless TO say that he left.

ers. as adding vastly to the attractive
ness of road, and as likely to have no
little influence In enlarging passenger
traffic. But the Great Western found
the maintenance of such a system in
America, over long stretches Of country,
and amid very different conditions as to
population and the cost of labor, prob
lem of much greater difficulty than in
England; and the expensive ornament
tation suffered from subsequent neglect.
Nevertheless an excellent object lesson
had been given, and ever since then
American railroad managers have made
more or less effort, of kind before
wholly lacking, toward the beautifica-
ton of their lines. Such effort has pro-
duced gratifying results in the charac-
ter of the station grounds, at least, of
numerous roads. The New York Cen
trail, for instance has now a gardener
for each of the three divisions of its
road, all under chief gardener whose
duties consist wholly in identifying and
making attractive, with grass flower
beds and vines, the grounds and build
ings of the numerous stations, the re-
moval of unsightly objects! the opening
of views unnecessarily INSTRUCTED, etc.
Perhaps some day this landscape gard
ening may be extended-not only by the
Central but by other roads-to the en-
tire length of their tracks, as 1t really
should be. Some western roads are lit
tie If anything, behind the Central in
this laudable work. 1t will not be sur
prising if they shall ere long progress
as far ahead of their eastern connec-
tons in the promotion of railway land
scape gardening as they have in other
particulars. This is line of enterprise
which appeals strongly to the growing
esthetic sense of the country, and which
will command the general sympathy and
cooperation of both travellers and the
dwellers "along the tracks"

RENouncE FALSE ISSUES.

The Davenport Democrat urges that
Iowa democracy assembled in conven-
ton today to free itself from Byanism.
in the following:
What the Iowa democratic state con-
vention to be held at Dies Moines today
ought to do is quite plain. 1t ought
to declare itself forever free from the
faint of populism, Organism, and fat
moneyism. 1t ought to go back TO first
principles and apply them to the solu-
ton of pending questions both state and
national 1t can do the first by simply
abandoning the craft that has twice in
national elections and several times in
state elections carried it down to de-
feat. The light to guide the future
should come from the experience of the
past, and there has been nothing but
confusion and Generalization in the
darkness of the Chicago and Kansas
City platforms. The second proposition
is quite as simple. True democracy
means the government of the people by
! the people and for the people. 1t is OPP
osed to sectionalism and favoritism: to
class privileges and to monopolies which
cannot endure when the laws are made
| perfectly equitable.
Apply these principles and the future
will be promising. The democratic party
cannot secure the confidence Of the
masses until 1t shows itself worthy OF
| their faith And to gain this 1T must de-
part from the false and perilous posi-
| tions 1t has been led to take In times OF
noise and clouds when these We're mis-
| taken for popular demand. The besi
way, the most honorable manner of get
| ting out of bad predicament is to ac.
knowledge the error and show an In
| tention not to repeat it. The demo,

"If Mr.. Cummins will promise US not

says the Osceola Sentinel.
The Glenwood Opinion INDUCES in
this philosophy: Our democratic

ternal fights going on in the republican
party. Well. gentlemen. the republi-

Looking over into the Hadkeye state
the st. Louis Globe Democrat says:
THE democrats will not be able to make
canvass in Iowa which will excite the
country much. In the governorship cam
vass In 1899 the republicans had plu-
rality of $4,000, and they had a lead of
$4,000 for president in 1900. There does
not seem to be much chance for the
democrats to cut the republican plurali-
ty down below the $4,000 mark this year.
If the republican lead should be down to
10000 the democrats will be surprised.
The democrats are not claiming Iowa
this year.

The CONVENTION AND TICKET.
[ Fairfield Ledger.l

N
Mr.. Cummins is the nominee of the re-
publican party of Iowa for the highest
office within its gift. He is man whose
honesty and integrity have never been
brought into question He will undoubt-
edly be elected, and he has the ability
to make an excellent executive, while in
his hands. more than Iany other repub-
lican governor Iowa has ever had, is the
opportunity to make his party greater
and stronger in the state than it has
ever been or to weaken and injure 1t.
brooklyn Chronicle.l
Iowa republicans have adopted plat
form and nominated ticket which
should. and we believe will, rally to thsir
support all lovers of good government
and political purity in the state.
The platform is a concise and accur-
ate statement of the principles of the
republican party, and altho we have
read and re-read it. we are unable to
discover an omission or suggest an addi-
ton. The personnel of the ticket nomi-
mated is above criticism-it could not
have been otherwise had any of the
many aspirants for the several places
been selected.
Humboldt Republican,
The Republican is satisfied to support
the republican ticket as it is today. Par
ty differences should be settled in the
party, and preferences for candidates
should be expressed freely before the
nominations are made. A man who goes
outside his party to effect reforms is a
poor politician. and fails in the greatest
test of party fealty. Stick by your par
ty.

In bowling to the will of the majority it

Brought Rain and Tears.

Down in Macon county, Missouri, the
recent drouth was relieved in peculiar
way. Forty of the prettiest girls of the
hamlet of Ethel decided to organize an
emergency society, the principal object
of which was that its members should
receive no more company until it rained.
For weeks the young men were denied
their privileges, and the girls had their
own way until a circus came to town.
The society decided to suspend its rules,
and the young men were told they
might call If they wished. They did not
answer, but they appeared in due time
at the circus with forty new girls. 1t
rained that night and all next day.

Oklahoma and Statehood.

PROBABLY Oklahoma will have nearly
10000 inhabitants by the end of the
present year. Her admission to state
hood will be one of the most interesting
questions which will come before the
congress in December. OF course, If an
arrangement could be arrived at where
by both Oklahoma and Indian Territory
could be united there would be an addi-
t;onal incentive for admission to state
hood this winter. Their united popula-
ton by the time congress meets will be
fully 100000. AS state they would
have four representatives in the house.
But whether Oklahoma comes in singly
or with the Indian Territory annexed, it
is likely to come in early enough to put
another star on the flag on July next.

Alabama Women to Vote.
ATLANTA Journal.l

The Alabama constitutional conven-
ton yesterday by vote Of So to As pro-
vided that women property holders own
ing $500 or more of real estate may vote
in municipal elections involving bond IS
cues.
If this provision shall be left in the
constitution Alabama will be the first of
the southern statesto give the franchise
to any extent to women.
New Orleans several years ago per-
mitted women residents who owned real
estate to vote on bond issue either in
person or by proxy. The Alabama plan
makes no provision for proxies.
1t was fortunate for New Orleans that
women property owners were allowed Ia
vote at its bond election for they sup
ported the bonds almost solIdly and had
much to do with setting that city on the

gate to the Iowa democratic state con-
vention. He has been everything by
turns in opposition to the republican
party and has been a fusion candidate
many times, but this is his first appear
ance as simon-pure democrat. This is
taken to indicate belief that the popu-

swallowed and populists elsewhere can
readily see the set OF the tide. The
democratic stomach can stand any
strain that may be put upon it, but
many populists will not relish that kind
of resting place.

natives, therefore, are eagerly seeking

Conditions are so crude in the islands
that it will require much time. discre-
ton and patience to eradicate the evils
of the Spanish rule or rather misrule;
