interstate and foreign commerce Cap
tain Hull, who is one of the most in
tluential men in congress, is intrusted
with the military affairs of the gov
eminent, as chairman of the house
committee, and he is one of the most
sougnt-after members. Major Lacey,
by his industry and great capacity,
and Bob Cousins, by his brilliancy
and personal worth and attractiveness,
have done their part to make Iowa
famous and powerful in the national
councils. The new members, Hedge,
Rumple, Haugen, Smith, Conner and
Thomas, are making useful members,
acquiring the experience that has
made the older members so valuable
to the state and to the country"
In any general mentioning of Iowa
congressman the name of Major Lacey
cannot be omitted without doing injus-
tice to the state and it's leading states
men.

meet the proposition of any company
this work, in a most gen
erous and liberal spirit, for the adj
vantages are mutual and, for the first
few years, at least are nearly all on
the side Of the public. The COM
ing legislature should pass a safely
guarded law, granting the right of en-
inent domain to these inter-urban
companies and the public should have
the right, where they SO desire, to
give to the companies the equivalent
at least of an exemption from taxation
for number of years. So far as the
Courier can learn, the inter-urban
companies are not seeking any long
er to use the highways, finding it bet
ter and more desirable in every way,
to keep off of the highways and use
their own right of way. This being
the case the right of eminent domain
is a necessity and should be granted
by the next legislature. 1t behooves
the public, not only of Ottumwa but
of the entire district that would be
served by such a system, to look into
this whole matter and to be prepared
to meet the situation right when il
comes up for determination.

THE IOWA COAL FIELDS.

1t has been recently said of Iowa
that its official statistics tell the story
of unequaled farm productions. There
fore the chief efforts at worlds fairs
should be made to prove that Iowa has
all the elements necessary to make it
the chief manufacturing state--the
cheapest foodstuffs, the cheapest raw
materials and the cheapest fuel to
manufacture them into finished pro-
ducts for the markets of the world.
All of which is true, but what shall
be said or what shall we do, if the
coal mines of the state be absorbed by
syndicates as is now threatened. If
this region of Iowa is TO go into the
hands of a coal combination of foreign
capitalists what advantage will Iowa
have to offer in the way of cheap fuel
AS well might the state be as barren
of coal as the deserts of Nebraska or
the granite hills of New Hampshire,
if its own product cannot be raised
from the ground and sold to the peo-
pie of the state at the natural price
that should govern the supply and de-
mand for the article.

INTER-uRBAN DEVELOPMENT.

The development of inter-urban
electric lines is going to prove, as we
believe, to be most potent factor in
the commercial world during the next
twenty-five years. The building of
these lines is proceeding with rapid
ity that is simply astonishing, and
where they are being constructed,
they are developing advantages for the
entire population that are little appre-
ciated by persons who have not given
this matter thought and investiga-
ton. Retail business is being large
ly extended and increased, the value of
farm lands is being advanced to con.
siderable extent and other advantages
are accruing to the people residing in
the rural districts, which heretofore
they have never dreamed of enjoying
There are surface Indications that
Ottumwa has q prospect OF being q
center from which system OF this
character can radiate. II such Is the
lfact, the public should be prepared tt

ALLISON AND IOWA.

The Des Moines Register of Deem
Der 10, has a remarkable article I'M
der the title of Allison and Iowa. y
1t is an editorial of five columns in
which the political career of Mr.. Ali
son is reviewed, from the time he be-
came representative in congress,
where he served eight years, and
since in the senate for nearly thirty
years He has been the intimate as
sociate and colleague in work of all
the greater men in public life since
the beginning of the Civil War He
was the trusted friend of Lincoln,
Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Sumner,
Grant, and all the presidents, repub-
lican and democratic, ever since; of
Blaine, and all the strong men of the
generation now just closing it's lead
ership.
The Register, with grace of Ian
guage that in itself is a high compli-
ment to the man who inspires it. re-
views Mr.. Allison's career with strict
adherence to the details of his busy
life and to his exalted character. 1t
points to the high plane upon which
he has dwelt as a statesman and to
the causes that should and do inspire
the respect, esteem and confidence of
men of all parties. The Register
then appeals to the members of the
general assembly, asking that "all par
ty lines shall disappear in that Janu-
airy legislature foreone hour, and DEM
ocrats and republicans vote as one
man for this great honor to Allison
that will also be as great an honor to
the state itself" 1t would be an I'M
precedented thing to do to have a
unanimous vote for United States SEN
ator in the Iowa legislature. 1t would
recall the ''era of good feeling period
during the time of Monroe when par
lty spirit and strife were broken and
laid on the altar of the country 1t is
difficult to forecast what view the
democrats in the legislature will take
on this proposition. There have been
times in the history of the state when
there were men great enough in the
Legislature who would dare to do right
under all circumstances. 1t is not for
us nor for any republican Journal to
dictate to democratic legislators their
duty in such matter, but it is not
| impertinent to say that if ever there
has been or could be time when an
/ exercise of noble partisanship
can be manifested, it would be on the
lines laid down by the Registers edi-

THE SPANISH FRAUD.

Congressman Lacey calls our at
tention to repeated attempts
that are being made to defraud
people in this country by parties at
Madrid, Spain. Letters are written
purporting to be from a prisoner in
Madrid, saying that the prisoner has
been connected with the Panama
canal under the French Management,
and has a large amount of property
which is tied up by an attachment;
that he has lovely daughter fourteen
years old whom he desires to send to
the United States. The letter is &C.
companied by another from pretend
ed parish priest, who is, in fact, no
priest, but an accomplce. The pris-
oner pretends to be a distant kinsman
to the party to whom he writes Sub
sequently the bogus priest writes that
the prisoner is dead and sends a GER
titled copy of his will in Spanish The
girl herself also writes on mourning
paper, sending her photograph.
All that is needed from the victim in
America is to send money enough to
redeem the attached property and to
pay the fare of the girl and the ficti-
tious priest to America
This fraud has been worked so often
that our minister, Mr. Storer, has been
compelled to print circulars to use in
replying to daily inquiries.
Mr. Lacey has had occasion to inves-
tigate these frauds and as they are be-
ing handled very secretly, it is well
that the press should call attention to
the scheme. 1t is very cunningly
worked and has resulted in obtaining
considerable money for the organizers
of the plan. Mr.. Storer says that one
party sent eighteen hundred dollars
and then came to Madrid hunting the
rascals, but, of course, never found
them. They send men through the
United States to make inquiries as to
the antecedents and family history of
individuals who have means, so that
when the letters are written, the re-
cipient is misled by the familiarity
shown as to his ancestry and family
history.
Several Of these attempts have been
made recently in the sixth district, but
fortunately without success. No doubt
the scheme is being attempted in many
other localities in Iowa.

He has already sold between $500 and
$500 worth but is confident
that one pearl he sold to New York
man for $145 is worth more than $780,
Since that time he has sold to Tiffany
and company, Of New York, 5000 worth
of pearls found near the Monroe
bridge. The Tama Indians of the Mus
quokee tribe have been camping along
the river all summer, working the clam
beds. They found one pearl that
alone sold for $50. 1t is a fact not
generally known that a New York
company has gang of men scattered
along the Des Moines river, from
Keosauqua to Des Moines, who under
the guise of fishermen are simply pearl
hunters, About five years ago they
made some fine discoveries between
Ottumwa and Eldon. They did net,
however, make any demonstrations
over their lucky find; they did not run
to newspaper Offices to report their
discoveries but kept still. Their dis
coveries were found out by accident
The Iowa river has clam beds with
precious pearls in the neighborhood OF
the Indian reservation at Tama.
There is no doubt as to the pres
ence of pearls in Iowa clam beds, but
the pearl hunter must possess the
necessary knowledge, SO that he may
readily tinu them.

A SINGLE TAX TOWN.

II Is a fact not generally known, that
publisher of newspaper at Des
Moines about seven years ago, is the
leader of a colony in Alabama, in
which is incorporated the principle of
single tax and that on land. In order
to do this, Castor and his associates
mapped out a colonization scheme,
sold shares at 5000 each, bought 200
acres of land and secured options on
large amount of other lands ada
cent, and has since acquired title to
the greater part of the latter. The
site chosen is in Baldwin county about
fourteen miles from the city of Mo-
bile. They then proceeded to erect a
state within a state; they built up a
town called Fairhope. No man can
buy land but he may lease it for TWEEN
ty years with privilege of renewal,
paying for it such annual rental as
the association may fix. He then can
erect on such lot or lands his build
ings, for stores, factory, dwelling, or
mill as he may choose. If his mill,
store or factory prove profitable he
must pay proportionately an increase
in rental. In exchange, the associa.
ton binds itself to make roads and
maintain them and guarantee him
from all taxation. The town thrives;
there are two hundred inhabitants and
all seem prosperous and contented
The association is the owner of all the
property and pays the lawful taxes tt
the county and state authorities bu
the jewellers, the people, pay no take,
whatever on any property they owl
within the settlement.
Inasmuch as this is the scheme o
Iowa people the subject is interesting
1t Is strange that so little has eve
been said or published about 1t.

nPlTY THE soRRows!n

Prof. Homer c. Price, of Ames col
lege, has predicted complete revo-
luton in refrigeration, to be effected
by liquid air. He said: Il venture
it as a prophecy that before ten years
it will be used exclusively in refriger-
ating cold storage ware houses"
The prophecy will send a cold chill
down the backs of many gentlemen
who have heretofore been looked up
to. How would you like to be the ice
man, when Professor Prices appall-
ing prophecy is fulfilled?

Wapello Republican: Reciprocity

Vinton Eagle: Gov. Cummins is

Algona Courier: We sympathize
with Phillips as a democratic candi-
date, but at the same time we do not
