IOWA REAL ESTATE.

Iowa real estate has always been good stuff re- s.
marks an observing writer in the Dubuque Times,
and it is getting better all the time. Years ago,
when an unlimited western country was awaiting
development Iowa lands almost stood still as to
value, but OF course there day when good
land west could not be had for song and the tide
OF immigration could not set in through and around
Iowa, but was obliged to settle here. With more
buyers prices began to rise Today land is selling
IRON $50 to 500 per acre, while the same ten years
ago could have been bought for half that amount
1t IS getting to be no unusual occurrence to see
land transfer for $1oo per acre The other day a 81
w. Dantorth, near Charles City, sold eighty acres
for nine thousand dollars, and forty acres near
there which ten years ago was not considered good
for hog wallow was transferred for $50 an acre.
What are the possibilities in land value when we
think that some day there will be ten people SghoS
want land where there is one now? And then land
is the only substance to exchange which cannot be-
increased. There is just as much now and there
will be no more in thousand years. With the in
crease in population land values are bound to rise,
to what heights OF course matter of speculation
We believe that some time the landed man will be \
the arlstocrat and not the who, scissors in
hand, sits and clips coupons. Even today and
right IN Iowa the farmer seems to be the cream Of
the land. They have the wealth and stability
Farming has not been sought by many because Of
the isolation it brings but how will you figure that
way when trolley line runs by on one side of the
farm and mail is delivered to the house every day.
while by telephone the farmer is able to call up all
the towns in the country. These are within the
reach OF the farmer, in fact there are a number Of
places where all these things now exist.

THAT AMENDMENT.

The Supreme Court has set January 20 as the
day for hearing the Titus amendment and it is I'M
derstood that the decision of the court will be rend
cred as soon thereafter as possible. We hope HAT
the amendment will be declared valid and that the
will and intent of the people will be carried out
and the technical error corrected The Review
favored the Titus amendment from it's incipiencys
and because it was enacted in bungling and am
biguoas way does not change the principle invov-
ed. We believe that biennial elections are enough.
We believe that the people Of Iowa are sufficiently
intelligent SO that they do need be harangued
and campaigned every fall in order that they may
obtain working knowledge of the affairs Of the
state and nation. The biennial election will throw
good many demagogues out of a job. The pro
fessional politician will find his business gone the
newspaper that depends solely on politics for its
support will have to get down to a basis Of fair
competition and print the news and not'politics
We favor the biennial election and sincerely hobes
that the Supreme Court will not find it necessary
to subvert the will Of the people in regard to an
amendment which has been passed upon by two
legislatures and has been adopted by majority of
the people.

They have heard outside of Iowa that Gov Shaw
is nursing presidential bee and that he may ask
for third term as governor in order to add thrift
to his prospects. The Minneapolis Tribune says:
sGov. Shaw of Iowa is suspected of having presi-
dental aspirations in 1904, and if he is given al
third term in his present position he will be more
than possibility And there is no reason why
the great Mississippi valley should not furnish
presidential timber. Webster City Freeman.

THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE.

Il On Monday it was our privilege to witness the
casting of the electoral vote of the state of Iowa.
The mpressiveness of the scene marred by
the fact that the electors had their pictures taken
three times during the meeting. The electoral
college is now but useless appendage to our
presidential elections. There has never been
case in late years where an eector voted for any
other than the candidate Of the party by which he
was elected. In earlier days the electoral college
meant something. At that time the people voted
only for the electors and it really their duty to
choose President. Like many other things the
essential part has been grown and only the form
remains 1t is, nevertheless great honor to be
chosen of the electors of great state, and
Crawford county has right to be proud of the
fact that of its citizens was a member Of the
college and that he cast his vote for VIM. Mckin-
Hey.
SENATOR CHANDELIERS RETIREMENT.
The defeat Of Senator Chandler of New. Hamp-
shire for reelection is distinct loss for that body
Senator Chandler fearless and an able man.
His independence of thought often led him away
from the party standard, but his ultimate faith in
lrepublicanlsn was always strong and he never de-
serted his party in the hour of need. Like many
others he failed at first to through the faseness
of free silver and for time he was carried away
with the beautiful pictures painted by democratic
dreamers. He returned to the ranks of his party
however and has been one of its most loyal sup
porters. We hope and believe that Senator Chan
dler is too great man to become embittered by
defeat There are many who regret the action Of
the legislature of New Hampshire, but insall prob
ability the republican party is no better nor no
worse than in the days when Senator Chandler oc-
cupied his seat in the Senate.

A Very Bashful Man.

A few nights ago a very bashful
young man called to spend the
evening with his girl. AS a storm
was coming up the girls father
asked him to remain over night.
Next morning when he was in
vited to take seat at the table,
very reluctantly accepted. He
sat opposite mirror and discov-
cred he had forgotten to comb his
hair Then he dropped his fork
on the floor, and as he stopped to
pick it up he upset his coffee.
Matters went from bad to worse,
until finally the young man quit
eating and put his hands under the
table. The loose end Of the table
cloth was lying in his lap, and
when he touched it he turned pale.
He thought it was his shirt and
that IN his nervous excitement
while dressing he had forgotten to
put the garment inside his trousers.
That accounted for his smiles and
embarrassment. There was no
time to lose. He hurriedly stuffed
the supposed shirt inside his trous-
ers. Two minutes later when the
arose from the table there was u
crash. The dishes lay in broken
mass on the floor. The young man
pulled three feet Of table cloth out
of his pants and fled through the
door. He is now in hiding and
the girl is on the lookout for less
bashful lover.

AT 1T AGAIN.
a Stranger Badly Beaten and Robbed by
Home grown Tough

For several months the town Of
Yuma, says the Yuma Sun, has en-
ioyed peace and harmony by rea'
son of the inactivity Of u gang Of
human vu!tures who have for sew
eral years eked out an existence
here by the "rolling" process. Bat
just us the officers Of the law and
people generally were congratu-
lating themselves upon the contin-
ued absence of crime, another vio-
lent outbreak occurred.
Last Tuesday evening Francisco
Eranandes arrived from California
and proceeded to celebrate by tax
ing on considerable quantity Of
red wine. He seemed to have
plenty of money and was soon sur
rounded by horde Of hoodlums
who professed great interest in
his general welfare. These vul-
lures followed the stranger from
place to place until about five
o'clock in the morning, when be-
coming weary, he inquired for Il
lodging house. One Of the gang
volunteered to pilot the stranger
to a place of lodging and when
they arrived at a dark place on
Maiden Lane they were attacked
by two ruffians. The stranger put
up Il good fight but was finally
worsted and robbed of all his
worldly wealth, twenty dollars.
The affair was reported to the Of
ficials and Louise Levas and Bari
lilo Sunagas, two young MeXicans
Of unsavory reputation, were ar
rested and placed in Jail, charged
with the crime of highway robbery.

ONE of our exchanges tells OF a
lady in its town who recently went
into dry goods establishment and
made some purchases. When she
had finished the clerk started to
wrap them up in wrapping paper
having the advertisement Of the
house on the outside printed in big
letters. The lady very politely
said to him: "Please turn the
other side of the wrapper out. l
do not think that should be asked
to become a travelling advertise
ment for this store, and | do not
care to flaunt the fact in the face
of your competitor, who is also my
friend, that l do my trading at THIS
place. We have anewspaper here,
and ! consider it the proper place
to do your advertising" when
YOU come to think Of it the request
is a reasonable one. No person
likes to advertise to the world that
they do their trading at any par
ticular store and dislike to show
to competing houses their prefer

DIsTRUsT IN LEGISLATURES.

The Houston Post says that Ala
bama's new constitution provides
that its legislature shall meet IN
regular session but once in four
years hereafter, and then sit for
moro than fifty days The legis-
lature's powers are also very much
curtailed by the instrument IN
question, which places numerous
subjects of legislation beyond Its
touch.
These limitations are doubtless
the outgrowth of prevailing dis,
trust of the legislative department
and the convention that framed
them must have been aware of the
existence of feeling that the
country is over supplied with laws
and in need Of time to assimllate
its already heavy statute supply
before it is further added to.
The impression is general that
we are suffering from too much
legislative activity and the tend
encv is to discourage its continued
display. The disposition of legis-
lators to waste their energies in
the discussion of frivolous subjects
is losing them the respect Of their
constituents and fortifying the
conviction that rests from too
frequent visitation of the evils OF
which their meetings have become
productive is desirable.
There is food for reflection in
this discrediting of the portion OF
our political fabric most directly
in touch with the people which
indicates loss OF faith IN tne repre-
sentative form ofgovernment. TO
all appearances the people them
selves have become suspicious OF
the agency through which they
are enabled to dictate what seems
best to them in the way of law
and public service and are ready
to curtail its power for good or
evil according to the interpreta-
tion placed upon its acts. Plainly
speaking, they have become dis
gusted with the law makers they
have been selecting to do their
bidding and are ready to reduce
them to impotency.
Justified as this disgust may be,
it is nevertheless a fact that in
many respects it has been in no
small degree engendered bya close
adherence to the wishes of those

The great steel strike is over,
with the men defeated. This is
what is called a victory for the
Corporations. In financial way
perhaps this is fact But can the
government of the United States
longer follow blindly the dictates
of these money Kings who would
sacrifice the whole Nation for the
sake Of making money? Remedy
the laws so that strikes will not be
necessary and so that the men can
live comfortably by their labors
and still the capitalist make money
on his investment. When one man
piles up millions a year he has
robbed some one. When ever the
labor troubles cease the anarchist
will have little chance. to convert
poor, simple minded fools that it
is thoir duty to murder presidents.

HIS PREDICAMENT.

hNNOluihS w " w N"op'iiS 'Nii' -
c., dispatch there is only one
thing in the whole gloomy situa-
ton regarding the presidency that
appeals to the sense Of humor of
any one, That is the predicament
in which Senator Plat Of New
York finds himself.
Senator Platt is still the unques-
tionable boss of New York, but he
now has a man whom be can prob
ably not control on any PROPOSE
ton that he advances. The his
tory Of the estrangement is recent
yet all the details may not readily
be recalled.
When Governor Roosevelt, in
the last days of the session Of the
Legislature of 1890, raided the
lobby and forced the franchise tax
bill, Senator Platt and all the big
bankers, street railroad men and
gas and electric magnates decided
that he should not be governor
again, Laier on, when the gov
ernor ordered an investigation of
the State Trust Company causing
trouble for many eminent republi-
cans, including Supt. of Insurance
Louis f. Payne, the decision was
double rivitcd, and it was decided
that the only way to get Roosevelt
out Of the way was to have him
nominated for vice president.
Senator Hanna and President Nc
Kinley really desired to have Sec
rotary of the Navy Long named
for vice president, but Mr.. Platt
took advantage Of the popul ar de-
mand from the west that the gal
liant Rough Rider colonel should
be the candidate and pressed the
point. The result was that al
though the New York delegation
did not put Roosevelt forward,
Senator Hanna finally yielded and
he was named. The details Of the
arranging of the slate on behalf of
New York were looked after by
B. B. Odell, theschairman Of the
state committee. Senator Platt
having to go home because of his
broken rib.
Now mark the result Of that
event, regarded as so auspicious
by all Of the New York machine
republicans. Senator Platt has as
president a man on whom he heap
ed contemptuous gibes; he cannot
hope to control the new president
on any subject unless it appeals TO
Mr.. Roosevelt as a proper one
without Mr.. Platts endorsement.
The situation is somewhat SINH
lar in the case of Mr.. Hanna. Only
a short while ago he was the most
prominent and influential republi-
can in the United States. He
could probably have named the
successor to Mr.. Mckinley. As
chairman of the national republi-
can committee, and the bosom
friend of the president, his power
in national politics practically had
no limit. Politicians were be
ginning to believe that Mr.. Hanna
was leaning toward Governor
Odell as the successor Of Mckinley
in 1901.
Senator Hanna has no quarrel
with the new president and the
new president has no fight with
Mr.. Hanna, yet it is doubtful if
the great Cleveland leader will
have even small percentage of
the influence al the White House
that he had two weeks ago before
the president went to Buffalo.

WHILE III DENVER recently VIC
made more extensive investigation OF
the railroad problem. In an inter-
view with Mr.. W. G.. Evans, Presi.
dent of tho Denver Tramway 70. and
Col. Dodge the great Colorado rail
road builder, we learned that they
md gil such men are anxious that a
Tine should be built as direct as
possible from Denver to the North
Park country, and ut the earliest date.
One thing at which they seemed to
manifest surprise was that the people
up hero had made so little effort to
secure such road, Col. podgeis OF
the opinion that the cxtentlon of the
breckenridge branch Of the Denver
& Rio Grande from Dillon would be
the practicable. route and the one
most likely to be built. He is fa-
imiliar with the proposed route, says it
is an easy grade, US compared with a
moro direct line across tho range
from Denver. He referred me to
President Jeffrey, but he was not in
the city then SO l did not sec him
but will correspond with him at once
1.-THE people Of North Park would
Join hands with Middle Park and
Routt county and show to the rail
road builders the great resources OF
this undeveloped empire, they could
have railroad inside OF two years
But II they make no effort, railroad
building will be delayed until some
great mine is opened up or the

panics to build Of their own accord.
