There is dangerous surplus in the
state treasury. The governor boasts it
is the biggest the state ever had. But
it is east to get rid of surplus. Though
it is dangerous to keep very big one
for a very long time. The legislature
which will be elected this fall will have
the spending of this big surplus as we'll
as several millions of dollars in addi-
ton. Already there is talk of approprl-
atipg $250,000 in aid of the St. Louis
exposition. Well enough for Iowa to
have hand in that show, but it is
questionable whether quarter of
million of dollars is necessary. Quite
an army of republicans have already
been appointed by the governor to
lobby through the assembly big ap-
preparation, and the same lobbyists are
authorized to spend it. Good men.
First-class men, and all that. But $780,.
600 is a big sum. Iowa must keep both
eyes open and its hands in its pockets.
1t must do this before it goes to the
show and it must do it when it gets to
the show. We suggest that in the cleo
ton of senators and representatives in
November the voters give preference to
those whose habits are of an economical
turn. Men of such habits are very
essential when there is a big surplus to
spend and a big show to be provided
for.-Clinton Age.

The fight by the big sugar trust on
the beet sugar producer will probably
lead to an additional tariff on sugar.
Tie beet sugar men will go before con.
gress as soon as it conyenes, loaded
down with facts and statistics to prove
the necessity of being protected as
against the colossal trusts. While we
hope they will not succeed they will be
strong in this, that it is not protection
from foreign competition they ask but
from home greed and monopolistic
trusts.

A strange incident occurred the first
of the week at the Charles Horn farm,
one and one kalf miles northwest of
Bloomfield. A number of workmen
were engaged in boring deep we'll,
when, having sunk the shaft to the
depth of more than one hundred feet,
they struck timber which was imbedded
in the sand pocket. The pieces Of wood
removed were we'll preserved, showing
no signs of decay whatever. Some of
the chips are of thick, heavy bark and
the wood tibers resemble red cedar.
Having struck the timber the workmen
abandoned the we'll, fearing quick sand.
The incident created great deal of
interest and considerable speculation as
to how the timber came to be so far
below the earth's surface and many
theories have been advanced regard
ing it.
