have Travelled up and down the land
iii private cars, making backplat-
form speeches, in which, under the
velvet guise of specious and oily
language, these things we're insin-
uated in the most beguiling form,
and other men, smaller fry, have
thundered the actual overt charges,
with unlimited denunciations, at
local meetings, from city to cross
roads; while the papers that have
followed this peerless leadership have
fairly out Heroded anarchy itself
with their vaporings of discomfort,
rebellion and reprisal. Day after day
the telegraph has borne to US the
story of some man made, insane by
brooding over the wrongs which this
propaganda of unrest had created to
seethe in his fevered brain. Pointing
with one hand to that monumental
fake 1.-THE rich are growing richer
and the poor are growing poorer, -
and with the other to the fancied
"crime of 49," arraying juggled
figures with captivating sophistries,
and fantastic pictures of wrongs done
to Americans under government pro-
lection with denunciation of clean
men high in office, and using all
the leverage with which the preacher
of discomfort finds 1t easy to pry the
unthinking man from his position of
content, the way has been made
plain and straight for such work as
that at Buffalo Friday. The same
howlings penetrated to the grounds
of the White House when Grover
Cleveland was president. His life
was threatened and he took the pre-
caution to place guard about his
person, to forestall assassination.
The first campaign of Mr.. Mckinley,
which made him president, brought
a storm of this wild talk of uprising
and resistance and actual rebellion,
and the men who ranted then have
been ranting in the same vein ever
since. 1t does not matter that there
has been only enough of truth in this
stuff to thinly varnish the falsehood;
a lie well stuck to, sufficiently
reiterated, makes an impression and
is at last believed, even though it is
lie. The platform speaker who has
been posing as the friend of the plain
people, for the past decade and some
thing less, has been sowing the teeth
of the dragon. Today we are reaping
the legitimate harvest of that sowing.

IOWA REPUBLICANS,

Chicago Record-Herald: No state
campaign this fall will attract such
wide attention as the one that is soon
to be opened in Iowa. This is not
only because the speakers will con-
fine themselves almostI entirely to
national issues but because OF the
commanding influence the Hawkeye
State now Wields in national affairs,
Iowa now has one of the strongest
delegations ever sent to Congress by
any state. With Congressman Hen
derson in the speakers chair, with
Allison and Dolliver in the upper
house and Hepburn, Cousins. Lacey,
Hull, Hedge and Smith in the lower
house, Iowa cannot fail to be an i'm
portant factor in shaping the legis-
lation of the Fifty-seventh Congress,
In view of these facts more than
ordinary party significance attaches
TO the meeting ofleading Republicans
of the state held at Des Moines on
Saturday, lat W hich it was decided to
follow the lines of President McKin-
ley's Pan-American address touch
ing the tariff question. 1t was thought
probable, in fact, that the campaign
speakers would be authorized to 60
even futher than the President and
advocate a reduction of imposts
wherever idustrial conditions appear
to make it advisable,
In his mastery address at the
Pan-American Exposition President
Mckinley laid eloquent stress upon
the necessity for the enlargement oi
our foreign markets through recipro-
city arrangements. He had repeated
ly advocated the ratification of the
reciprocity treaties already negotiated
by Commissioner Kasson with France
and Germany. But there can be nc
reciprocity without concessions in
the way of reduction of imposts. Ii
is very probable that the next Con.
gress, under the leadship of the low q
delegation, will not stop with reduct'
ion of impost duties under recipro.
city, but will scale down the tariff
upon those industries that long age

need of protection,

seven residences are in the course of
erection. Cement walks are being
put down and preparations being
made assume metropolitan air as
soon as appearances will permit.
The building to be occupied by
Foshier Bros. of Marysyille is nearly
completed. 1t is large two story
brick building Al feet wide and 120
feet In depth. 1t is understood that
they will continue their store at
Marysville but will expand their
wholesale business from the Harvey
store. The foundations for four other
brick buildings are IL and the work
is being pushed as fast as possible.
Robert Emmel, Chicago man
will open bank in a short time. 1t
is asserted that the Brick and Tile
factory will be removed from Pella
to Harvey where they will be prepar-
ed to turn out either building or paw
ing brick,
Other rumors are in the air to the
effect that the @. B. & @. railroad
will build depot and that a new
road will be built into Harvey from
the north. She already has three
roads. These advantages together
with the booming ability of the men
interested financially ought to do
something for our little neighbor to
the east.
W. w. Craddick will in the near
future remove his fine stock of drugs
to Harvey where he will occupy a
fine, new brick building two stories
| high, 20x65. The building will be
ready for occupancy about October
18th. We congratulate the new town
on securing so valuable an addition
to their boomlet as this fine store.
Mr.! Craddick is an experienced
druggist and will serve the people of
Harvey well. He anticipates greatly
enlarging his present stock.

PRESIDENT MKINLFY.

1.-THE President is sbot!" How the
news flashed over the country, across
the water and encircled the earth.
The king on his throne stopped to
scan the bulletin, and the laborer on
the street dropped his shovel to 60
and see if the report were true.
Sorrow struck home to the heart of
the potentate, and anguish wrung
the bosom of the section hand. The
awful news was true and a calm
settled over the land like that which
precedes storm. A prayer was on
every lip that the life of the President
might be spared. Then like the roar
of thunder came an outburst of in
dignation and a demand that the
assassin be handed over to speedy
Justice. The insanity dodge has been
forborne long enough. He was sane
enough to pick his mark. Let
the law take its course, only let moth
ing delay the deserved ends.
President Mckinley is the third
president who has been a victim OF
the assassin, Lincoln and Garfield
being the other martyrs to a crank's
eccentricity. However democratic
and law abiding a country may be
the wiles OF demon cannot be con
trolled. The bloody deed is no
criterion OF the spirit of the land. Al
long as there is life there Is hope

PRONOUNCE TT "SHOLLGOSCH "
Czolgosz, the name of the man who
shot President Mckinley, offers a
lingual problem to nine-tenths of
those who attempt to pronounce it.
1t is one of those names which the
English alphabet cannot spel lphonet-
ically, and which the average Eng
lish speaking person stumbles over
in trying to express after hearing it
spoken by Russian. Written &C
cording to it's sound the name of
Czolgosz, or its nearest equivalent,
is "Tchollgosch," or more broadly
speaking, "Shollgosch."
"Cz" is represented in the Russian
alphabet by character which is pro-
nounced much the same as though
one were suppressing a sneeze-,
Itch" The next two letters-"ol''
are pronounced in combination as
though written "oll," and the re-
naming letters of the name-"gosz'
may be given the sound of "gosch.' u

of people gathered on Wall Street
and were preparing to attack and
destroy the New York World office,
which had violently opposed Lincoln.
Suddenly Garfield's strong and clear
voice spoke to the enraged people and
said:

clouds of the skies. Justice and
Judgment are the establishment Of

A FALSE BASIS.

The Iowa Socialists in state con-
vention resolved:
"That we pledge ourselves to the
fiHal and complete overthrow of all
competitive and capitalistic systems
and substitute thereof of co-opera-
tive commonwealth and collective
ownership of all the means of pro-
duction and distribution.
In other words they seek to pro-
mote a system whereby the lazy fell
low and spendthrift will thrive on the
industry and frugality of his indus
trious neighbor. If such condition
should come about, if ambition is to
be throttled and thrift to be dispar-
aged, the beginning of the end of the
nation will be in sight. If men were
doomed by nature or compelled by
by law to remain in the same con-
dition all their life, the very founda'
ton on which the commonwealth
stands would crumble away. Compe.
tition is the life of business, and sue
cess is the goal that induces work
and self denial. With5ut these life
would become tiresome and crime
rampant. The Socialists may have
some good reforms in view, but they
will never be realized along the lines
marked out in that resolution.

merce of the port of Galveston for
the trade year just closed and shows
in spite of the unprecedented hurri-
cane of last September that business
is being conducted on a greater scale
than ever before. Galveston's total
cotton receipts fer 190O-1901 were
2,177 1888 bales, compared with 1,71O,-
263 bales for 1899-19O0. Galveston's g
bank clearings for the year just closed
amounted to S36O,359, 900 compared
with 1888, 1924, $50 for the preceding
The resumption of business on such
a scale would have been impossible
if Galveston had not been the most
accessible and economical port for
an enormous traffic. Galveston is the
natural outleU for more than one
fourth the area of the United States.
AS a port for all the country tribu-
tary to it Galveston, represents an
economy in time and rates which can
not be substituted.
A bill has been passed by the Legis-
lature of Texas, authorizing the City
of Galveston to issue bonds for the
purpose of securing funds to build a
sea wall of stone along the Gulf front
which will effectively protect the
city from the sea.

One of the most pathetic things in
connection with President McKin-
ley's injury is that his invalid wife
does not know that he has been shot,
still less does she know that he has
been the victim of villainous at
tempt at assassination. She has been
told merely that he was hurt out at
the exposition grounds, and that he
needs quiet and careful nursing to
put him alright again. Her condition
was such that to have told her, no
matter how guardedly, the truth of
the situation would have been, in all
human probability, to have ended
her life long before now. She was in
sadly wrecked, nervous condition
even before the tragedy occurred.
She has not recovered from the
shock of those salutes fred when the
President arrived in Buffalo. The
cannon were let off through some in
conceivable stupidity, within ten feet
of the Presidents private car, of
which several windows of one side
were smashed in by the concussion.
Mrs. Mckinley swooned from the
shock, and from that moment to this
has 80 suffered from it that she has
not been even her frail self.
To have added to all this anything
like a statement of the awful thing
that has befallen her husband could
hardly be otherwise than fatal, in the
opinion of those who know Mrs. Nc
Kinley's condition best. AS it is, it
is only DR.. Rixey's skill and intimate
knowledge of her ailments which
