The fact is generally commented upon

to the feet that leather is cheaper here
than in England for the contrary. is the
case. but the fact that the labor cost

OUR NATIONAL LEGISLATORS.

There IS not member in the House
who is more deeply interested in the prop
osition of Government ownership OF tele-
graph lines than Representative Pearre
OF Maryland.
4 have always believed that the tele-
graph is rightfuIly an adjunct TO the
Postoffice Department said Mr.. Pearre.
and that being true. IT is the duty Of the
Government to own and operate the tele-
graph. which is nothing but a quicker
method OF transmitting intelligence Sup
pose some one should hit upon scheme
by which a letter could be transmitted
to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York or
any other city and delivered in less than
an hours time, does anyone believe the
inventor of such scheme would be per-
mitted by the Government to engage in
the business of delivering letters? Ger
tainly not, because il would be treading
upon the domain Of the postal service,
which is conducted by Uncle Sam.
The telegraph really infringes on the
postoffice and therefore it should be IN
der the control of the postoffiee. In nearly
every country except the greatest in the
world, the United States, the telegraph is
owned and operated for the people by the
Government. The United States can buy
the existing telegraph lines at . fair
price, give the people a better service at
a less cost, and in a few years the tele-
graph would pay for itself I am making
an Investigation of this subject, and al
ready 1 have compiled some very interest
ing data"
Mr. Pearre is now preparing a bill pro
viding for Government ownership of the
telegraph and he expects to have it per
fected and in shape TO introduce in the
House just after the holiday recess. He
is confident the question will receive care
fuI consideration at this session OF Con-
gress.

The Democratic Steering Committee OF
the Senate has exercised excellent iudg-
ment in placing Senator Culbersos of
Texas on the Judiciary Committee. Sena-
tor Culberson is on a number Of other
important committees. but the Commit
tee on Judiciary is best suited to his
tastes and his desires. He is one of the
abIest lawyers in that body OF distin-
guished lawyers, and his colleagues have
net been, long in finding it cut He has
Inherited all the wonderful legal ability
Of his father. who was said by Thomas E
Reed and others to have been the best
constitutional lawyer in the Congress dur
ing his long term of twenty-five years
The legal phases of the PoTti Rican bill
passed last year we're commented on by
many able lawyers in the Senate, The
speech On that bill by Senator Culberson
vas said by Senator Foraker to have
been the strongest and best made in op-
position TO the bill The point Senator
CuIberson raised against the ratification
OF the Hay Pauneefote treaty gave the
advocates OF that convention more trou-
bic and concern than that raised by any
other opponent OF the convention.

The publication in this column several
weeks ago Of a paragraph to the effect
that Senator HeiUeld was not only a
lover Of rare old books. but also an au-
thority on ancient literature. and that he
was the proud possessor OF a library that
contained many quaint and curious vol
unes OF forgotten lore, has resulted in
doubling his large correspondence From
all sections of the country the Senator
has received letters containing offers to

so. would he part with 1t for a consid-

As Senator Heitfeid is very punctual
with his correspondents. he acknowledges
the receipt Of all the letters and explains
that be is not in the book business But
the letters continue to come in daily, in

You don't and can't if your stomach

gest all that is ordinarily taken into it.
1t gets tired easily, and what it fails to
digest is wasted.
Among the signs of a weak stomach.
are uneasiness after eating, fits of ner-
vous headache, and disagreeable belch-

A Most Liberal offer.

All our farmer readers should take ad-
vantage of this unprecedented clubbing
offer we this year make, which includes
with THE REPORTER, The Iowa Home
stead, it's special Farmers Institute
Editions and the Poultry Farmer. These
three publications are the best of their
class and should be in every farm home
To them we add, for local, county and
general news, our own paper, and make
the price of the four one year only 81 10.
Never before was so much superior read
ing matter offered for so small an
amount of money. The three papers
named, which we club with our own, are
we'll known throughout the west and
commend themselves to the readers
favorable attention upon mere mention.
The Iowa Homestead is the great agri-
cultural and live stock paper of the west;
The Poultry Farmer is the most practi-
cal poultry paper for the farmer, while
The Special Farmers Institute Editions
are the most practical publications for
the promotion of good farming ever pub
lished. Take advantage of this great

time only. Samples of these papers may
be examined by calling at this Office.

UNREASONABLE REQUEST.
"please Don't Publish It," Heard
too Often in Newspaper offices.

The practice of keeping things out of
a newspaper makes it very difficult for a
newspaper to do its duty and give all
the news. There are interested parties
ready to throw themselves into the
breach at every important occurrence
and lmportune the newspapers not to
publish the facts. There is hardly a
day in the year when the newspapers Of
this city are not called upon to sup.
press some item. Men will even ask
the editors and publishers not to men
! ton certain occurrence, when its pub
LEGATION would harm NJ one. If the
paper declines to leave out the item the
applicant becomes indignant; if it
yields, and q contemporary later pub
fishes the news it never OCCURS to the
gentleman that he has injured a legiti-
mate business of a newspaper and that
he ought to apologize and do SO no
more. On the contrary when a local
paper leaves out an item which APP
pears later in a contemporary, the very
men who ask for suppression are the
first to say, "you must read such and
such a paper to get the news"
Did it ever occur to the men who re-
quest us not to publish a certain item
that it would be just as reasonable to
ask one of the merchants not to make a
certain sale? You are asking the news.
paper to omit it's most attractive feat
ure and to become tedious and perhaps
tiresome, merely for your benefit. Pos.
sibly you may have business relations
with the newspaper. That certainly
gives you no right to make exactions
which amount to the same thing as if
some demanded that you dispense
with the most desirable part of your
business.
The newspaper gets tired and sick of
being importuned to keep things OUT
