pEs MONIES JOURNALISM.

Revenge is always sweet. but none SO
sweet as that now enjoyed by Editor
Young of the Capital. When he was
ifloundering in the mire Of explanations
Nos. i, 2 and of the Capitals fake in
teryiew, the editor of his rival. the
Leader, stood over him with a merciless
lasil administering punishment equal
even to the enormity of the toffense.
Then Lafe's only reply was to charge
that his Des Moines critics faxed inter-
views also, only they didn't get caught.
But Lafe's turn to laugh has come at
last. The Register has caught the editor
OF the Leader copying the ELOQUENT por-
ton OF Beecher's sermon on the death Of
Abraham Lincoln and Incorporating 1t
In his editorial on McKinley's death as
original matter. which was read and
discussed as a remarkable article. One
can fairly hear the air crack as Young
swoops down upon his helpless enemy.
When he gets thru with the punishment
now being given, Allan Dawson, like
LATE Young before him, VIII have had
enough Of the taking business. AT least
they will each take good care not to get
caught at it.

our NATION NAY BUILD the CANAL.

Walter Wellman has given out the
statement from Washington that an
agreement has been reached between
the United States and England for a
canal treaty that viii permit our gov
eminent to build the isthmian water
way in harmony with American desire
and judgment. 1t will be recalled that
the British held several points of advan-
tage in the Hay-P auncefote treaty that
We're considered objectionable by some
of our Independent leaders and think
ers. The chief leverage was the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, which could only be abb,
iogated by British consent, and thru
which our neighbors across the water
retained some advantages in the newer
treaty. Now, according to Wellman's
advices, the latest agreement provides
in substance for the abrogation of the
clayton-Bulwer treaty in toto: for a
reutral isthmian canal, in case one is,
constructed by the United States, open
ii. time OF peace to all nations: this neu-
strality to be guaranteed by the United
States alone. instead of by leading ma
tions; and that in case Of war the
United States is to reserve the right to
take such steps for protection as 1t may
deem proper
Such an agreement would be ideal, ac-
cording to the American view. It COM
prises all that the ultra advocates of
shome-built and home protected canal
could wish. What our nation is to con-.
cede to Great Britain in return is not
disclosed. Perhaps this may appear as
little joker" hereafter, but accord
Ing to Weliman it was a broad minded
concession by British statesmen on the
ground that it was best to yield to
American Judgment. for by standing out
against it the English would gain moth
ing and lose all.

| As to the claim of the Dubuque Tele-
graph that Phillips is not corporation
man, and that Cummins is the Ottum-
wa Courier says: The Telegraph evil
IDENTIFY does not know Mr.. Phillips is a
corporation man thru and thru, having
been for the past twenty years superin-
tendent of one of the largest coal cor
porations operating In Iowa and ILL.,
nois. The fact is that this corporation
talk is all nonsense, and the manner in
which the Telegraph and some other
Iowa newspapers OF the same stripe
have endeavcred to exploit it Is exceed
ingly tiresome."
The Clarinda Herald admits that
with the leading democratic papers of
the state fighting the democratic candi-
date for governor, and the rank and file
of the party Disguised with both the
platform and the candidate, 1t makes it
hard for the republican editors and
speakers to make an enthusiastic cam

not because there is a contest. but be-
cause they owe it to the party and pub

"Marshalltown has had carnival and
is holding its nose" is the way the
Sioux City Journal puts it.
The Creston Gazette observes that
MIR. Cummins has exercised a policy
since his nomination which has made it
easy for all republicans to get together
around his standard and this has COM
ipletely defeated the democratic predic-
ton that the vigorous struggle for the
nomination would create permanent
factions in the party.

too glad to use this column for that
purpose. altho credit must be given to
the Record Herald for discovering II.
Under the head of The Greatest Mag
ara Poem it says:
Sonic one--a Bostonian we believe
has recently published book of poems
on Niagara. 1t is said to be an inter-
esting volume, containing many lines
that are good because they are vigorous,
original, or poetic and many that are
good because they are SO bad. unfort-
unately, however. the compiler of the
book did not have an opportunity to
put into it the wonderful poem on Nj
agara that has been written by John
Quincy Adams of Hawkeye, Iowa, and
without this no collection of cataract
poems can be complete. Mr.. Adams
poem as it appeared in a recent issue Of
the Hawkeye Beacon is rather long, but
itwould be a gin to cut out line, hence
we take the privilege of reprinting 1T in
full:

Thousands have long journey gone.

To make fourlakes from shore to shore
And as they would, with rain and snow

To reach the sea their resting place,
The grandeur of that awful pour
That causes such sublime roar
And makes ones soul within to thrill
And feel 1t once has had a fill
Is something to turn thoughts above
To the Creator we should love.
In harmony with natures laws
Such breaking up a mist does cause
More dense than air can we'll retain
So part descends almost like rain
And part is said to rise real high
And form a cloud across the sky
One seen from many miles away
Known as Niagara's mist or spray.
When those hordes reach the lower bed
Turbulences are still ahead;
One cannot that well comprehend
Why water there should run on end
But then its grandeur would be lost
II it was placid and not tossed;
The whole does make a scene so rare
1t well repays one to go there.
