For some time before the republican
state convention there We're contradic-
tory statements made as to the position
of Ex-Governor Larrabee in regard to
the candidates. The Arlington News,
published in Fayette county, attempts
to clear it up as follows:
"Governor Larrabee could not have
been a very enthusiastic Trewin man.
He let his own township go for Cum
Minis. He did not attend the county
convention. He was named by Senator
Trewin as chairman of the Fayette
county delegation, but yet he did not at
tend the state convention at Cedar Rap
ids. Does any one think for one mo-
;ment that if Governor Larrabee had ex-
pressed wish that his Township should

The success in securing artesian
wells with an excellent and unfail-
ing flow of water in the King and
Kennedy pastures, in the upper
part of this county, should en-
courage some of our land owners
in this part of the county to bore
for arteSian water. There is no
reason to doubt that the expert
ment would result successfully,
and a few large flowing wells III
this section would be of immense
benefit to the interests of those
owning them.

The latest and most fragrant ill.,
suit offered by the adherentS of
Admiral Sampson to the real
hero of the Battle of Santiago was
the speech Of Assistant Secretary
of the Navy Hackett before the
cadets to Annapolis recently.
Among other things, Mr.. Hackett
is credited with saying: "ThiS
academy is to inculcate the princi.
plies that guided Sampson and Cook
off Santiago" This goes further
than the friends of Sampson, who
have claimed that the credit of the
victory was his, though he was
over twenty miles away when it
occurred. 1t attempts deliberate
snub of Admiral Schley, who was
most undoubtedly in command of
the feet at the time, by giving
credit for the American success to
Captain Cook, who was distinctly
subordinate to Schley as captain
Of the latter'S flagship, the Brook
Ign, at the time. This is a little
too much. One could listen with
some patience to comparison of
rival admiralS, and understand
how partisanShip would give cre-
dence to SIMPSONS claims, but
when it comes to an official of the
navy department., in an address
to the lads who will be officers OF
the navy, putting the captain of
the admiral'S flagship before the
admiral himself, it is nothing more
nor less than what the Washington
Times calls it, and that is "vuIgar
impudence. !"

Opinions were rendered in the United
States suprt me court, Monday, in the
last two of the insular test cases. One
of them was that known as the "14 dia
mond rings case involving the relation
ship of the United states to the Philip
pine islands from tariff point of view
and the other was what is known as the
Dooley case No. 2. involving the con
stitutionality of the collection of duty
on goods shipped from New York tc
Porto Rico. In the former case the
court, through Chief Jus ice Fuller hello
tn t the diamond rings, brought in from
the Philippines aud over which the case
arose should have been exempt from
duty under the Paris treaty of peace
becaus that treaty made the Philippines
American territory. The decision in
the Philippines case followed closely
that of The first Porto Rican case of last
term. In the Dooley case which was
decided Monday it was held that the
duty collected upon goods carried from
New York to Porto Rico was permissi
BILE but that i was in reality a tax foI
the benefit of the Porto Ricans them
selves rather than an export duty, as
was commended by the merchants who
antagonized the government in this case
In each case were dissenting opinions
which were conourred in by four of the
nine justices of the court.
