THE COUNTY TICKET.

1t is safe to say that no county in
Iowa ever had representative in the
state legislature who has more fully
enjoyed the respect and confidence of
all his constituents than has Wapello
county in Hon. A. w. Buchanan, in the
legislature Mr.. Buchanan was at once
recognized as one of the men who
can and does, edo things" The sound
ness of his Judgment on all important
public questions was recognized by
the legislature and is recognized by
the entire community, regardless of
party or political affiliation. With Mr..
Buchanan as representative, Wapello
county was factor with reference to
every important question brought be-
fore the legislature. No man in the
community is in closer touch with ev-
cry ~ element, no man can come
nearer representing his entire con-
|stituency.
Such representative is of the
greatest value to any county, and the
voters of Wapello county will see to
| it that Mr.. Buchanan is reelected by
the largest majority that has been
given a member of the legislature in
this county for years.

pEMocRA3Vc EDUCATION" IN
. NOVA.

The Chicago Shronicle, the leading
democratic paper\ of the Mississippi
valley, and one Of the ablest papers
of that party in ths nation, has made
the following analysis of "the delicate
humor" of the ammo lncement Of the
chairman of the Iowa democratic
state central committed that it's cam
,paign will be largely educational"
The chairman of the Iowa democrat
ic state central committed in speaking
of the plans of that body, says: Our
campaign will pc largely educational
and will be made squarely on the state
platform
When the fact is recalled that the
chief feature of the state platform is
the endorsement of the populistdc Kan
sas City and Chicago platforms, the
delicate humor of the reference to an
educational campaign will be quite OBJ
vious to all.
The democratic committee purposes
an educational campaign on these
texts:
L. The immediate free and unlimit
| ed coinage Of gold and silver on
private account at the ratio at 16 to L
2. The immediate withdrawal Of
United States authority from the Phil
ippines.

At One Time Owned the Sigourney
4,Woolen Mill Which Burned.
i The burning of the old wooden mill
recalls the fact that William Veltch OF
South Ottumwa at one time owned the
structure. Concerning it the S1gour-
ney News says:
"The old mill has a wierd and mys-
terious history. A part of it used to
be used as hotel and stood on the
corner where DR.. Hartman now re-
sides. A man by the name OF Majors
owned the hotel. This was probably
in the year 1860. 1. d. Mclean, grand
father Of Warren, used to own cord
ing machine and little building on
the ground where the wooden mil!
stood VIM. Veitch, long resident OF
Sigourney came to town and bought
the old hotel building and moved 1t to
where Mr.. Mclean had his little mill.
This was probably in 1865. McMullen
had an interest in the business. So
did man by the name of Taylor.
'"The mill fiourished and in Its palm
4 lest days gave employment to fifty PEG.
pie. The payroll and expense ac-
count was $3.50 per day. The reader
can imagine what good thing 1T, was
for the town.
There came time when Mr.. Veitch
wanted new machinery and to other
wise improve the mill. He stated his
wants to some of the leading citizens
of the town and they went to the bank
or banks and endorsed his paper. In
terest time crept around and Mr..
Veitch found he could not meet the OBJ
legation. Then it was critical time
1 and no money to pay interest. The
banks closed in and the endorsers had
to pay. Many of the endorsers lost
their all and never did rally from the
financial shock.
Some say that Mr.. Veitch paid to
the First National bank of this town
$4,000 in interest. Sometimes he paid
as high as 10 per cent. The failure Of
Mr.. Veitch is accredited to paying toe
much interest. He was very ener
getic man, worked hard for the mil
and the best interests Of the town
, The goods he turned out were the very
best. He could not manufacture shod
dy goods because he did not have the
, machinery to do it. Two pieces O.
machinery cost $4,000.

THE LYNcHINe RECORD.

An accurate list of illegal executions
I'm the United States has been compil-
ed by the Chicago Tribune. This
showing of the number Of victims OF
the lynch law from January, 1885, to
the end of 1900 is an interesting one.
The total for the sixteen years reaches
the enormous aggregate Of 2,5l6. The
smallest number during the period was
during the year 1899, reaching l07.
The largest number was during the
year 1892, reaching 236. The largest
number of lynchings credited to any
one state is 253 for the state of Missis-
sippi. Alabama, Georgia. Louisiana,
Mississippi and Tennessee are all
credited with over 200 lynchings dur.
ing this sixteen year period. Dele

a clear and honorable record, no lynch
ings having occurred in any of these
states during the period referred to.
The states having only one lynchlng
are Connecticut and New Jersey. Iowa
is credited with twelve lynchings, dis
tributed by years as follows: 1885,
five; 1887, two; 1889, one; 1898, two;
1894, two. Since 1894 there have been
no lynchings in Iowa. Let us hope
that the state will never again be dis,
graced in this manner W.

REPORTS ON CONVICT FARMS.
What Has Been Done by Prison La
Dor In Mississippi.

Jackson, Miss, Oct. 11-A report of
the work done by convicts ON the Mis-
sissippi state farms was submitted by
Warden Parehman to the board of
control. The, state owns four farms
outright, and for several years has
leased or rented about ten others, av-
eraging 1000 acres each and on on
which have been distributed about
1000 convicts, mostly colored A
year ago the legislature purchased an
other farm in the Delta, the greatest
cotton producing section Of the state.
Six hundred acres of that land has
been cleared and was planted in corn.
This season the state farms will pro-
duce 6,725 bales of cotton and 1880
bushels of corn. Two thousand four
hundred and siXty-two bales of the
cotton go for rent, however, so that
the states share will be only 4,263
barely enough to pay expenses of the

den reports $50 head of fat cattle
one-half of which are to be sold; 15C
head of hogs, 1000 tons of hay, and
hundreds of bushels of peas and pota
toes. There are now on the rolls
,035 conyicts. The report says there
have been eighty-two escapes, twenty
seven of whom were recaptured Thir
ty-seyen were pardoned by the cover
lnor.

Judge Burnham of Vinton used wis
dom and good judgment last week in
passing sentence on young man con-
victed of his first crime. He gave him
the option of taking two years SEN
,tence in the penitentiary without con-
dition or parole sentence of five
years under condition that he should
reside during that period on the farm
of his father; that he should go no!
where off the farm at night unless &C
companied by some responsible per.
son, and that a detailed report of his
doings be each month submitted to the
governor. During the parole period
he must also abstain from intoXicants.
There is practical reform as well as
punishment in the latter sentence
says the Upton Advertiser.

YOUNG MEN SHOULD NOT sHuN
POLITICS.

We shall have reason to hail it as
a wholesome sign of the times when
American youth cease to be Indifferent
to politics. A country in which any
man, however obscure his origin, may,
through determination to overcome
obstacles, and fine strength of char
acter, arrive at the highest distinc-
tons in the gift of the republic, ought
to stimulate young men to splendid
epdeavor and rich achievement. One
regrets to observe an aversion on the
part of many men to study political
economy, and singular lack of res
possibility in welding that power of
the unit, which is so tremendous a
force in our national life.-The Ladies'

REDUCE TAXATION.

Senator Cullom, of Illinois, express
es himself freely regarding the neces-
sity for reduction of taxation in
view of the rapidly increasing surplus
in the United States treasury. He be-
lieves it is safe to make another re-
duction in the war revenue taxes, and
that it should be done because "a sur
plus is dangerous thing, as it breeds
extravaganza and it is strong temp
tation to dishonesty"
While it is true that the people do
not feel the burden of taxation, that
should be no reason for not reducing
it when it can be safely done. The
few who advocate continuing the pres
ent rate of taxation, even though it
is shown to be in excess of the needs
of the government, on the ground that
the money. can be expended, are advo-
eating dangerous policy which would
lead to extravaganza and unnecessary
expenditures. With reduced expendi-
lures to carry on the government
should come reduced taxation, so that
a. useless surplus will not be piled up
ih the treasury to excite the reckless
appropriation of money by congress
OF Ncoufse surplus is preferable to q
defiHit, and no one would advocate
such "a reduction as to create deficit
nor to- reduce the funds in the treasu
ny to tlNe last dollar needed for legiti
mate expenses, but something should
be done 10 put stop to the piling W
of money I'm the treasury which is moi
needed there, and which there is ne
way to get Unto use in the commercial
world where\ it is needed.

George E. Roberts Washington let
ter to the Fort Dodge Messenger: "Of
all of President McKinley's policies,
the one most difficult to carry out will

icy of reciprocity. 1t is impracticable
to make any reciprocity treaties which
will not arouse opposition and posi-

ing the advantages against the losses,
the former must outweigh, the latter
when the interests of the whole world
are considered. The reciprocity treat
les now pending are the first attempts
to develop the policy to which Presi-
dent Mckinley had decided to give his
influence 1t was for the purpose OF
winning support for these treaties that
he made that speech. There is deter

Sharon Star.
Woods Full of Them.-There is to
be an election in Iowa next month,
and it will be about as one-sided an at
fair as has ever taken place. In fact
there is no campaign in progress in
this state. All the political orators in
the United States cannot make cam
paign if they get together and agree to
talk along the same lines. This is
what the republican spellbinders have
done and what they propose to do. On
the other hand the democrats commit
ted suicide when they held their state
convention, and for real results the
act was fatal. Their best efforts can
only have the appearance of life. Why,
then, should the republicans spend so
much money and put all their talent
in the field?
This week the political woods are
| full of orators. Mr.. Cummins has en-
gagements both afternoons and even
| ings, with his mornings pledged to do
the greatest possible amount of hand
shaking and interviewing. Senator
Dolliver has turned his hopefuls over
to the tender mercies of the nurse
and is making his most impassionet
speeches. Congressman Smith is do
ling the same, with the exception thai
his family cares are not so tender
Governor Shaw was never more IN mo
ton. And even Senator Allison, en-
titled by long service to all the rest hi
can get, is pressed into the service
Congressman Henderson, Lacey ant
Hepburn are all trying to arouse en-
thusiasm by imagining grave issue
: and then showing how to keep off tn
rocks. There are other orators in tn
field, and still others are to be pu
there.

the trust-producing tariff until the sill
yer question shall have been settled as
above.
The election in Iowa will be held in
about six weeks. Iowa is 800 miles
wide from east to west and 210 miles
long from north to south.It has pop
ulation of considerably more than q
100000, most of them of a high order
of intelligence.
Anyone who expects to carry on an
educational campaign such as the pop
Iulists have outlined for the democrats
in such territory, in such time and
among such a people, will have need
of great fortitude and energy and a
spirit, which will easily surmountl OBJ
stacles and survive disappointment
and defeat.
The probability is that the more the
educational processes are applied the
worse it will be for the instructors.
The Sioux City Journal believes that
the above is the opinion of the major
ity of the democrats of Iowa, nearly all
of whom will vote the republican tick
ct or remain away from the polls next
November. More than half of the
real democrats of Iowa are now as
resolutely opposed to the Kansas City
platform of their party as the republic
ans of the state, and they are deter
mined to make this the last year the
free silver idiocy can be forced into
their platform, therefore it is possible
I that the democratic state ticket will
be defeated in every county in Iowa.
i That is the right policy, and the true
democrats will be commended for pro
ceeding to annihilate the most dishon
orable and destructive platform thai
} ever has been adopted by leading
J party of the United States. This is
