Verify the leopard cannot change his
spots. The following from the Abba
News sounds very natural to those
who lived in this country in 1861 to
1865.
ut is going to be very serious
question where the 100000 new troops
are to be had in this country. There
isn't particle of enthusiasm about
our Philippine way of subjugation.
The idle man looking for work had
better take the hardest job and lowest
wages than go to the Philippines to
become the victim of disease or to be
shot down in a guerilla warfare. Aud

ter go to the shelter of the workhouse

CIRCULATION
WHERE THE MONEY WILL GO.

Assisted by figures furnished by
Mr.. Chamberlain, United States COM
missioner of navigation, in his report
for 1900, senator's and representatives
opposed to the ship subsidy bill have
prepared and published in the press
an analysis of the measure, showing
where the peoples money will go in
the event of its passage. The senate
bill as reported gives a bonus per
gross ton for 6.40O miles-the round
trip of 3,200-mile voyage-as fol-
lows.

AS A DEMOCRAT SEES IT.
DUBUQUE Telegraph.)

The first paragraph in The Com
moner announces that the paper starts
with circulation of 10000. While
not SO intended, the announcement is
a reproach to the democrats of the
country. Considering that it's editor
and proprietor is William ]. Bryan,
and considering all that Mr.Bryan has
done and intends to do for the princl-
pies which democrats holds to be Wit,
al, The .Commoner should have start

this, Major Conger is entitled to the
united support of the people of Iowa
in his ambition for vindication at Pek-

desire to honor Conger, it will do most
for him by helping overcome the pref

WHO is THE POLE HORSE?
Davenport Times.

On the day following the legal exc,
cution of the Titus amendment, doz
en- or so distinguished gentlemen were
prominently mentioned for the COVER
norship of Iowa, subject to the ap
prevail of the republican state conven
ton. This rush for position would in
dictate that the supreme court did an
extremely popular thing from the
point of view of the candidate.

FORGOT THAT RAISE.
(Des Moines Register.)

One of the new vehicles on exhibit
tion of the National Carriage Dealers
convention in Chicago is a three
wheeled road wagon. There is but
one wheel under the front of the We
iicie, and the manufacturers claim the
new style is far superior to the old.
One trip over a country road might
convince them that they had forgotten
a most important point.

For short voyages the grading
makes the rates somewhat higher. An
analysis of the list of vessels eligible
to receive full rates furnished by Com
missioner Chamberlain shows that the
international Navigation company
chr. Griscom's Standard Oil aggre-
gation,) alone will receive the total
full subsidies paid for ships of above
seventeen knots speed. Taking the
whole list and grouping according to
ownership, the vessels eligible to full
subsidy, it is shown that four of the
companies behind the bill would earn
nine-tenths of the full subsidy. 1t
would be distributed according to Mr..
Chamberlain's estimate, based on the
business of 1899, as follows:
