The Esthervllle Democrat is quite

The Baskerville Democrat is quite
right In saying that: "The man who
does the most mischief in community
is not the notorious criminal. He is
the fellow who whispers lies in the ears
of others in order to excite their preju-
dices and turn them against their
friends; the tale bearer, the cunning
twister of facts into exsggerations,
the interruptions purveyor Of idle
gossip, the man who is dishonest
with himself and hence is unable
to credit any one else with good
motives; who tries to make himself
solid with one person by exciting that
persons mind against another and
seeks to advance his personal interests
by poisoning the minds Of others.
Every community has such creatures.
They work In the dark, and never &C.
cept responsibility for their lies"

About Bishop Lenihan.

The following. clipped from the edi.
torial columns of the Buffalo Catholic
Union and Times, under date of Aug
ust s, and handed US by Mr.. P. E. G.
Lally. will be read with interest by the
friends of Bishop Lenihan of Cheyenne
and his brother, Father M. C. Lenihan
of Marshalltown:
"We enjoyed a delightful surprise
last Sunday when the Rt. Rev. Bishop
Lenihan, of Cheyenne, Wyoming, ac-
companied by his reverend brother,
Father Mat of Marshalltown. Iowa,
honored our home with an unexpected
visit. No one could have been more
welcome: for although we had long
known Bishop Lenihan by reputation,
it was only last spring that we met him
for the first time while both were So
iourning amid the balmy airs of Hot
Springs, Ark.
The distinguished prelate belongs
to a family of wealth and social prom
inence in Dubuque, Iowa; and it is i'm
possible to enjoy the privilege of his
society even for a brief time without
ones heart going out in admiration and
fullness of friendship for so manly and
charitable bishop 1t is like breeze
in summer to listen to his hearty laugh;
while the CLEAN of his honest eyes pro-
claims to all the world that here is a
man.
"We regret to say that Bishop Leni.
hans health has not yet been SO rugged
of late. The altitude of Cheyenne does
not agree with him. Yet no illness can
quench the radiance of his noble face
or cause him to diminish in aught his
episcopal labors.
"The devotedness of Father Matt to
his mitred brother is beautiful to OBJ
serve. He waits upon the bishop as a
loving child would attend upon cher
ished fathered and anticipates his ev-
cry wish, while the bishop in turn takes
an atfectionate pride in the goodness
and talents of the young priest.
"a ride through the city revealed to
these gentlemen the charms of Buffalo
which they never dreamed she posses
sed. They were not delighted merely;
they we're amazed as we'll. AS for the
wonders of the Pan-American-esr
tally the marvellous electric feature
they could find no words to adequately
express their wonderment and delight"

THE PLATFORM.
The democrats of Crawford county
in convention assembled, hereby de-
clare their belief and faith in the prin-
ciples of the democratic party as af-
frmed in the past
| American democracy is the hone and
greatest safeguard of the American
people.
We deplore the fact. that President
Mckinley. who was last year credited
with giving the farmers bounteous
crops and with filling the dinner buck
cts OF the workingman, cannot find it
in his heart to so favor the country
again this year.
We view with the greatest solicitude
and alarm the gigantic contest now be-
ing waged in this country between the
organized union labor and the steel
trust-a trust fostered under and made
possible by the republican policies of
this government
In this strike the laboring men have
not only their just reward from their
labor to maintain and protect, but their
organization and standing as a society
OF men. we'll governed and maintained
for the good of themselves and fami
lies, In the refusal of j. Pierpont
Morgan and his associates to deal lust
ly with the laboring men, refusing to
grant them terms or offers of COM
promise, the democratic party sym
pathizes with the men and offers them
the chance to redeem their standing by
assisting in the promulgating of Jeffer-
sonian principles.
We sympathize with those of the
strikers VINO voted their honest convic-
tions and good judgment with the
democratic party in 1900. and pity those
whose eyes were riveted on the full
dinner pail OF last year as the only
salvation for thems elves and families,
and
Whereas. The republican party of
the State of Iowa has been delivered
from the power of one corrupt political
machine into the power of another.
without the usual restrictions of even
state platform to protect the people,
we believe 1t is now the duty of the
democratic uarty of this state to select
the ablest and best men for the several
} state Offices, looking especially to their
sympathies with regard to railway and
corporate taxation that the state NAV
get its just share of the corporate pro-
fits and that all taxpayers may be
treated alike.
The democratic party favors the
amendment of the present mulct law
in the state of Iowa, so that the major
ity OF the people in any county may de-
eide the question of license or NO
license.
In the senatorship for this district OF
Iowa this year, we favor the election OF
man who cannot be influenced by
corporate greed or the power of wealth
or passes into giving his vote against
the interests of the common taxpayer
but who will stand as protection tc
the people of the counties he repre-
Sen1s.

While the committee was out the
convention engaged in lengthy dis
pute as to the method and time for Sc
lecting the county central committee.
This dispute was carried on after the
committee had reported. MIR S. V.
O'Hare urged that as all the townships
were not represented the matter should
BE- deferred until their wishes could be
consulted.
This was part of the scheEe to shut
John Cook out as county Chairman, al
though O'Hare who has always been a
friend of Cook may not have known it,
Mr.. Davie said the unrepresented town
ships had rested on their rights and
that it was no more out of place for the
convention to proceed with this part of
its work as announced in the conven-
ton call. than it was for the convention
to elect delegates without consulting
these townships who had been so care
less of their rights ard duties as to be
unrepresented. This idea finally pre-
vailed and on motion the committee
men then present, together with man
chosen from each precinct in attend
ance on the convention, but without a
committeeman oeing present. were APP
pointed to select the county central
committee for the next campaign. The
special committee retired and finally
selected the following: Hans Suhr of

and there. was no contest as to whom
should go, but the senatorial delegation
was a Waterloo for the gang, 1t is
true that they control a majority of the
delegation, but no instructions were
passed and the delegates are free to
vote for whom they please and they
cannot be coerced by any unit rule A
carefully made estimate divides the
delegation as follows: Carey nine
Davie six. 1t is also reported that the
delegation cannot be united upon Carey
even if he should decide to be candi-
date, and it is doubtful if the entire
delegation would vote for Davie under
the circumstances. AZ the nomina-
ton was practically conceded to Craw-
| ford it would seem that the democrats
| have thrown away their chance to
name the man unless they unite on
Davie, whose record as a legislator
would make him hard load for demo-
crazy to carry AT any rate Davie has
the whip hand and can force the nomi-
nation if he SO desires. In short the
convention was complete defeat for
those who thought they had the poll
tics of the county in the hollow of their
hands. They were worsted at every
point. The chairman was man whom
the Bulletin denounced as trying to
disrupt the party with the primary
system Mr. Caswell was obliged to
to serve on committee with the man
whose name he took from the conven-
ton call. All mention of the Kan.
sas City platform, so dear to the hearts
of Romans and Caswell, was omitted.
| Romans was de-tracked for Carey, and
he did not get delegation united in
support. Davie, a rank outsider, has
the best of the senatorial fight as ii
now stands. The gang was unable tc
sit down on John Cook and he was
placed on the senatorial delegation
against the gangs wishes, and Bullock
as candidate for representative has
gone a-glimmering without ghost OF

Dunn,. Review of Crop condltion.

The E. G. Dun Commercial Agency has issued the following review of the condition of the cotton crop in this state:
 The cotton crop of Arkansas as a whole is not promising well. In the western counties inclusive of upper Arkansas valley, cotton and corn are both suffering from lack of rain.
 This condition applies particularly to the counties of Faulkner, Conway, Perry, Pope, Yell and Johnson. How ever, there are spots which have had rain and are doing we'll, but these are only the few exceptions to the prevailing condition as stated.
 As a general thing the corn Is suf- fering more than the cotton and the uplands more than the river lands
 In Pope county corn is willing and cotton is making slow growth. This condition, though perhaps in less degree, exists in other counties named.
 The cotton crop never recovered fully from the dry weather which pre- vailed at planting time and during the dry weeks that followed. And while the stand is generally spoken of as good, careful inquiry develops the fact that the stand is not quite ali that would be desired.
 In southwestern Arkansas crops are reported more favorable. This applies also to south central Arkan. sas. where the stand of cotton is re- ported good and the growth healthy. In some quarters there is serious complaint for want of labor and some fields are plainly in the grass.
 The trade prospects are good. Mer- chants are hopeful of average crops and good general conditions this fall, and are preparing to buy heavily
 The lumber and coal interests are all in fine condition and increased capital has gone into both.
 While the trade at the present reasonably slow. merchants feel en- couraged over the general situation of the Little Rock district, whose pros pect for the coming season they con slider fine
