B. Hollands Good Record.

Iowa county has never been more
faithfully or efficiently represented
IN the State Assembly than during
the last two sessions by Hon. Bioru
Holland He has been consistently
found on the right side of every
question. No measure advantage
Gus To- his constituents has failed TO
receive his earnest support, and no
scheme to benefit class interests or
lower the standard of good govern
meut has failed to meet his vigorous
opposition. Not only by his vote,
but also by careful consideration
and personal attention to subjects of
legislation he has done all possible
to advance right and defeat wrong
In such course he could not hope to
be always in majority in Il body so
largely composed of self-seeking,

Might Have Been Worse.

The legislative and congressional
reappoiutionment made by the leg
islature are not SO wholly bad as
might nave boon expected from a
body So VIGOROUSLY dominated by
selfish influences and scheming pol
iticians. Iowa county was happily
SO situated that it was hardly pos
si0lA tp seriously hurt her. She
could not be changed in relation To
assamblyman, and as to state seua-
toral relations, the situation COM
PEELED either continuance with
Grant county or association with
Green and Lafayette, neither of
which could be Objectionable, so
that on being placed with the latter
two counties, no complaint is offered
from Iowa. Personal political inter-
ests of our present NJ. c. were
thought by his adherents to require
a continuance OF the Third district
unchanged If possible, and this was
accomplished except that Adams
county is cut of and placed in the
new Second district. Ii is some inn
provement, as the power of the bos-
ses Is lesSeued to the extent OF the
votes in convention from the "poek-
II borough of Adams county
which could uniformly be counted
upon as fixed for the faction that
had most money TO spend.

The Governor and the Senate.

The message of Governor LaFoll
cite accompanying his veto OF tn
sham primary election bill
i published on another page OF thl
paper. Smarting under the castiga
ton administered in that message
the machine-ruled Senate retaliate
by passing resolutions OF protes
on these proceeding
the great Chicago Record-Heralt
the independent press OF tn
northwest, says:
If the Legislature of Wisconsin,
which closed it session last Satur-
day, had enacted any legislation
that could be Of any benefit to the
state, or bad done anything that
entitled it to popular respect, the
resolution of the Senate protest
ing against the aspersions cast
upon it by Governor LaFollette
might be entitled to some consid-
Grafton.
The legislature was not only
gravely derelict regarding its OBJ
legations to the people, but actu-
ally repudiated the election
pledges of the majority party re-
garding primary election reform
and other measures embodied in
the party platform 1t was this
dereIiction that evoked from
Governor LaFollette the scathlng
rebuke administered in his mes
sage vetoing the machine make
shift primary bill which was
pissed at the behest of the party
bosses rs substitute for the
measure which was introduced to
carry ont the pledges of the party
to the people, and which con-
formed To the recommendation
Of the governor.
1t is well known that primary
election reform and equalization
of the burdens of taxation were
the predominate state issues OF
the campaign which resulted III
the election OF Governor FaFoll-
ette. The present governor had
eloQuently championed these
ideas from the stump IN previous
campaigns. He stood coDspicu-
ously, definitely and fearlessly
for these reforms. There could
be no doubt about his position
upon them. His election, there
fore, was an unqualified popular
Endorsement of them, and the ma
jority party in the legislature
was under IA pledge to give them
the vitality Of law.
But the legislature, under the
whip of the party bosses, failed
to redeem any Of these pledges,
and offered instead of an honest
primary election bill worthless
substitute framed in the interest
of the party machine.
Because the governor mercl-
lessly trounced the Legislators for
Il or betrayal of the peoples
trust and took occasion to point
out some of the influences that
impelIed them to this betrayal,
the Senate, by a vote of Is to s,
passed n resolution of denuncia-
ton. In doing SO the Senate
merely advertised its derel'ction
and misfeasance and made more
prominent than ever the govern
or's unyielding devotion to the
highest interests of the state.

A RELATEn ORGAN.

The Nashville News Is a new paper which seems to have been launched on the troubled sea of journalism with sails set and prov headed straight for Salt River. It's object. if it "an be said to have one, is to undertake the im- possible task of infusing the Semblance of life into the moribund remains of Kansas City Democracy. Why. at this late day, any man with enough political sagacity to steer him around an oren grave should start daily newspaper with. such an object in view IS one os the mysteries more recondite thar those of famed Eleusis. If there was any demand for such an organ, or if any question of duty were involved we might admire the courage of rne pro- iector while refusing to commend his Judgment, but there is notA'HS of the kind.
 We can to some extent understand how the papers which have nere:ofore advocated Mir. Bryan and his theories should keep 1t up in hals-hearted way for a time, as trained soldiers will continue to fight for lost cause, but why any one should volunteer to engage in a battle for corpse is be- yond us. If we should see man start out with fife and drum to enlist ie- cruits for the Confederate army we should be bound to think his patr.otisn sadly belated.
 The News starts out just where most of the late Bryan organs quit, with the affirmation that "the platform os 1896 was Democratic clear through" | After that deliverance one is prepared for this;
 We hear much talk of the party get. | ting rid of Bryan and Bryanism There | is not nor ever has been any such thing as Bryanism. If by that word is mean | the principles of government which he anC | the six and a half million voters who tol lowed him believed in, the proper word i! | Democracy. Mir. Bryan laid down no new principles for the people to follow.

intelligent people that the six and a half million voters who followed MT. Bryan in 1896 or 1900 were oelieveis in his theories or converts to his financial belief. It. Is equivalent 70 charging that practically all the Democrats in the United States had chang.i th-ir principles since 1892, charge So base less that it is grotesque. The News knows, if it has any political knowl- edge at all, that large per centaye cf MT. Bryan's vote was the unwilling votes of Democrats who voted for him because he was the nomlnee of ;h. party-not because of but in spite of his views. All this is old and is only a. luded to because of the unique position occupied by this belated eulogist of the dead. ".

Country Seat of J. P. Morgan.

W. G. Nicholas in Pittsburg Post:
 MT. J. Pierpont Morgan's country seat. where he spends as much of his time as he can during the summer months. is situated fifty miles up the Hudson and three miles south of West Point. When he is not pressed for time he goes back and forth from the city in his steam yacht, Corsair, mak- ing the trip in a little less than three hours usually.
 His house is a large yellow frame building, which could be duplicated in size and comfort for $1S,000 to $2o.- 900. It is on the bluffs. couple of hun dred yards from the river and half hid den among the trees. He has a half amized road from West Point winds along rather less than half mile from the stately stream. To the west of the road and extending far back into the high hills the millionaire has a domain of 1000 acres. much of it wild land.
 When in the country the financier drops business entirely and rests his soul. revitalizing himself as it were. No feature of his country establish ment affords him greater pleasure than his dog kennels. He has about 100 Scotch collies, the bluest- -blooded that money can buy. and they are as care fully looked after as children could be. So determined is MT. Morgan to cut himself off from the outside world when he Is in the country that he does not even have a telephone in his house. The nearest telegraph office is two miles distant.

TWO BRAVE WOMEN.

Two incidents of recent occurrence in Atlanta are of much more than pass ing interest, and each refers to wo- man and a pistol. In each case burg lars were attempting to enter Aouse where the woman was without a male nrotector. and in each case the woman promptly fired on the intruder. one "i tbe burglars carried off bullet as a reminder and the other was so oaaiy frightened that he ran into the omceis and was captured.
 Now. we are very far from advocas- ing pistol-oarrying or pistol-practlce Dy ,vomankind but from all portions or the country, not only in the South put elsewhere. we are continually reaoins of cases like these in Atlanta "nele b,,re,ars and robbers have taken ad- vantage of the supposedly unprotected condition of houses and entered tiei'i for the purpose of robbery. Ano' "ha' is far worse, we are continually reao- ing of cases where scoundreis' poth hack and white, have entered houses or assaulted women for purposes much more damnable than robbery.
 In all such cases as these 1t would pc well if the unprotected and endangered females were provided with pistols and had both the will and the skill to use them. It is not always possible 'hal woman can havela natural protector near her, and then she should be pre- nared to protect herself bullet be- tween the eyes of an occasional ape hend would lessen the crime, and wouIu po far to remove any necessity or ex- cuse for lynchings.

HILL ON JEFFERsoNIAN DEM 4e OCRACY,

Mir. David B. Hill contributes to The Philadelphia Times of last Sunday his views of Jeffersonian Democracy and its present day application. His sum- mary of the policies and principles for which Jefferson stood is fair and &C., curate, containing no new presenta- tion of the Jeffersonian doctrine. He states nine propositions as emooiyiag the original Jeffersonian Democracy. including States rights, opposition to the centralization of power, home rule, taxation exclusively for public pur- poses. opposition to standing armies, hard money and opposition to rnoncp- olies. expansion and official ho,lest.. Mir. Hill thinks this is a good enough platform for Democrats to stani on now, and he cannot understand why there should be factional differences over details where Democrats are unit. ed upon general essentials. He con- cludes his article with this summary of what he considers the present rositic n of the Democracy:
 Our party Is the great conservative force in the country today, and absolutely nec- essary % ns welfare. It stands against radicalism of every description. It is op- posed to plutocracy on the orc hani ana to communism on the othe:. It Is op- posed to Imperialism in the Philippine Islands. and also anarchy in Cuba.
 It respects the vested rights of capital and at the same time sympathizes with labor oppressed. It has no alliance with powerful corporate interests; neither IS II in league with demagogues who disturb society snd sgitate for the merc sake Of agitation. It does not regard the posses sion of wealth as a crime, not even a badge of honor: nor does 1t consider poy- erty as either a disgrace or a virtue. IL makes no war upon classes, but. opposes corrupt and vicious systems and methods wherever they are to be found. It has no use for passing "isms' Of the hour.
 1t proposes as it's general policy to ad- here to the fundamental principles upon which the party was founded by tne si cal Jefferson himself
 In that path there is safety honor' suc- cess.

The Treating Habit.

Ohio State Journal:
 The decision of the Knights of Co., lumbus. of Columbus. to begin an ac- tive campaign against the American habit of treating is a distinct step in the direction of temperance.
 This Is a strictly social habit and seems to prevail more largely in the United States than anywhere else fin the world The result of 1t is that many who otherwise would be very moderate drinkers get in with a con genial crowd, each member of which feels it incumbent upon him to stand treat for the party. As a consequence all drink more and spend more money than would otherwise be done. Any thing which tends to break up this practice is in the interests of modera- ton and temperance. and should be encouraged by all.

 Perjury, says MT. J. J. Mccarthy of the Iowa State Ear Association, is the crying evil of the time. the main cause of the defeat of justice, both in criminal and in civil cases. In the course of his remarks, MT. Mccarthy ssid:
 "Where is there A lawyer who has not seen the guilty criminal pass out of the court room acquitted and set free because of perjured testimony? What one of us but has seen the rights of persona trampled under foot, presum- ably under due form of law. but really and truly by the use of corrupt. false and sometimes purchased testimony?

Should Pause Long.

Mobile Herald.
 We agree with The Montgomery Ad- vertiser that the Constitutional Con- vention should pause long and consider well before making the Railroad Com mission the absolute rate maker for the railroads. The railroads have done much to develop the State. They should be regulated by the Commis- sion. but the regulation should not be carried to an extreme that may be in furious, to railroad interests. The question of transportation is an intri- cate one and should be dealt with by experts.

MIR. BoWIE's MISTAKE.
Descendants of Soldiers in War With
 Spain Not Included.

Montgomery, Ala, July 25, 1901. Editor The Advertiser:
 I have before me now your issue of July 18th, and have carefully read Con- gressman Bowies letter on the grand father clause" He makes the state ment that those entitled to vote, among others, are the lawful descendants of those who were soldiers or sailors in either the war of 1872, the Mexican war. the civil war. or the war with Spain. By referring to the report of the Committee on Suffrage I find that it does not recommend that those per- sons who are lawful descendants of those who served in the war with Spain shall be permitted to vote.

 If there were any pledges made by the members of the Constitutional Con- vention a fifty days limit should have been as binding as any. The Conven- tion could not do the business consci- entiously. as the solemn character of the work demanded, within the limit and so they very properly extended time and pay.

 The dispatches show that over 900 citi- gems of Fort Scott have signed oetl- tion which declares that the enforcement of the prohibition law in that city has been so weak that 1t has amounted pfac- tically to a farce and that the only true solution of the subject is open saloons therefore ask the city officials to allo" saloons to run regardless of the State law and they advocate such a move.
