The large ana increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead in this county

The large and increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead in this county
is a matter for congratulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of its class in the coun-
try, it is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance journal,
four of the most valuable farm publi-
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for $3.50 for the entire five,
one year. This is emphatically good
thing. and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For a large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equals it. A
county paper y farm paper, poultry
paper, farm insurance paper and the
Special Farmers Isntitute, all for S1.99
Come in and order them.

Northeastern Horticultural Society.

The seventeenth annual meeting of
the Northeastern Iowa Horticultural
Society will be held at Rockford, Floyd
county, Iowa, on December II, Is, and
10, 1901. The purpose of this society is
to extend more general knowledge of
horticulture among fruit growers, and
especially among the farming commun-
tiles of the district, as we'll es to stimu-
late an interest in the work of garden
Ing, forestry, the ornamentation of pub
lie parks and grounds. and in the beau
tifying of home surroundings. Our
horticultural workers are earnestly re.
quested to lend their hearty co-opera-
tion in making the coming meeting
highly interesting and beneficial Not
only is their presence and help desired,
but it is also hoped that special effort
will be made to secure the attendance
of others. The citizens of Rockford
will provide free entertainment to all
accredited members and delegates in
attendance who may desire such accom-
odations. A complete program has
been prepared touching many practical
points of interest to all who may be il
any way associated with the cultivation
of fruits and flowers. Representative
fruitmen from adjoining states ant
auxiliary societies will be in attendance
as usual to add their help and inspira-
tion. One feature of the occasion viii

"Did you ever stop to think" says the
New York Farmer, how ridiculous a
performance it is for human being to
hammer cow on her ribs with milk
stool, or to maui horse with cudgel,
or to vent anger in any of the other US
ual ways on live stock? Did you ever
stop to think that the COW cannot un-
derstand why you are pounding her and
that your abuse of her, therefore, can
have no moral effect upon her? The
COW cannot moralize or theoriZe orphi-
losophize. She has no idea that her bad
behavior is the direct cause of the pun
ishment she receives. She merely
knows that she is being hurt, and in her
dumb, COW way she doubtless wonders
what it is all about, and before the pain
has left her she is ready TO repeat the
offense, sublimely unconscious that it
will invite a repetition of the painful
whacks and bangs with the milk stool,
the heavy chain or the wagon stake. Is
there on earth anything more absurd
and grotesque than the usual assault
and battery committed by men on the
dumb brutes which they handle?'

Workingmen at the Polls.

The recent municipal elections in San
Francisco illustrate the power of the
workingmen when they unite at the
polls. Members of the union labor or
ganizations organized party during
the campaign, nominated Mr.. Schmitz
as their candidate for mayor and car
ried the city by q plurality of four
thousand in total vote of tifty-three
thousand, defeating both the republican
and the democratic candidates.
San Francisco has been the seat of
labor trouble for some months past. 1t
will be remembered that the iron work
ers struck early In the summer and that
many other trades unions went out or
were locked out as result. An assoc
iation called the Employers Associa-
tion tried to compel teamsters to aban-
don their unions, and the trouble
continued until about the time candi-
dates were nominated for city offices. AS
Mayor Phelan, the democratic candi-
date, was elected two and four years
ago, and as the republican candidate
this time was second in the race, it is
: evident that a large proportion of the
democratic strength went to the labor
candidate. This is proof, first, that the
wage earners constitute larger ele-
ment of the democratic party than of
the republican party, and, second, that
democratic wage earners are an inde-
pendent class of voters who cast their
ballots according to their judgment
There are SO many local questions in
volved in municipal campaign that
the readers of the Commoner scattered
throughout the country may not be able
to pass judgment upon the issues which
the citizens of San Francisco had tt
act upon, but 1t is interesting to every
ons to know the power that the labor
ing men have when they choose to exer
else it. If they would show the same
earnestness all over the country the,
would prove most effective, If not al
irresistible, force in reform movements
If the laboring men who are in the hab
it of supporting the republican ticke
would by their votes make it know
that they could not be counted upon t
aid q party controlled by banks, corpoI
ations, syndicates and monopolies, tn
! republican leaders would find that Il
corporation funds, however vast, coul
secure them national yictory.-Com

The working people of Germany are
claimed 10 have insufficient employment
and to be in need of the necessares of
life, and at this juncture the government
appears with plan to levy a tariff on
imports at higher rates than are now
paid and give the people plenty by tax

of protection are best seen at a distance.

Mary's New Lamb.

Mary had a little lamb,
Its fleece was soft as wool,
1t tagged her up and down the lane
And followed her to school,
The teacher called it up in front,
With big eyes round and brown,
Then stamped her foot, and sternly said:
go way back and sit down.
The lamb obeyed, and fingered there,
1t loved to be in school,
Nor stamped its feet or bleated.
Nor acted like fool. M

old enthusiasm which one might
have heard in the yestertime
when the bands hammered out
the tune Of the Confederacy.
"Dixie" is really national an
them. 1t is the musical repre-
sentation Of the old South, and
the Lost Cause. The South to-
day will join in with the nation in
singing:
''My country, 'tis of thee,
! Sweet land of liberty,
OF thee | sing"
! But there is still an old South.
Dixie" is still fact, a pulsing,
living thing. And while the air
may have waned in popularity,
the same old sentiment lives to-
day as it lived yesterday. The
old veterans who have yelled SO
voci terously in the past when
the air of Dixie" was played,
may slip into the shadows, and
the si1ences, but there are men
living-young, lusty, stout
lunged fellows-who will in one
way and another cheer the air long
after the veterans have passed
the scene of earthly things.
"Dixie" dying! Yes, Dixie" is
dying. But "Dixie" is not dead.
In dear old Ireland they still
have their popular airs, and they
are sung by every son of Erin
who happens to be an unwilling
exile from his native land. pat
Malloy" IS as popular now as
ever:
'''Oh, heaven bless you Pat, says she,
And don't forget, my boy,
That ould Ireland is your country,
and your name is Pat Malloyp"
And in England there has been
decadence in the popularity OF
the accepted and tlme-honored
anthem of the country. The
Britisher is patriotic. God Save
the Queen" means as much to
the English subject today as it
ever did. The Jacobite may
hover over his jorum of punch
and his mangum Of claret while
he calls out mockingly:
E'God save me, great John Bull!
And keep my pockets full!
God save John Bull!
Ever victorious,
Naughty, vainGlorious,
SnObbish, censoriOus,
God save John Bull"
But the really patriotic Eng
lishman will continue to sing the
dear old anthem of his country
Just as it has been sung for more
than a century, and the attempt
of the Jacobite to belittle the pa
triotism of the song will amount
to nothing. Really, the only
change the Britisher will make in
the anthem of his country will
amount simply to a change IN
gender. He will now sing God
Save the King" just as he sang
before the reign of Victoria.
But "Dixie" is passing. Dix
ie" is dying. The dearS sweet
song that has meant more to the
South than England S God Save
the Queen, " more than Ireland s
"Pat Malloy," or the "Marseil-
laise" of France; more than any
other song to any other country,
is passing from among the things
that are. In the upheavel and
transformations "Dixle," too,
must drop from the cherished
calendar, and the air which has
stood for so much in the South
will take its place in the archives
of things at least half-forgotten.
"Dixie, , of course, will never
pass altogether. But judging
from "Dixie's" reception at the
recent reunion at Memphis,
"Dlxie' is waning somewhat,
and Dixie" may finally pass
altogether.

potentlallty. AIRS are quickly
made, and as quickly pass. Songs
come and go with the fashions.
Music, like other things, must
pander to the Whims of humani-
ty. But there are some songs so
full of soulfullness, so deeply
wrought in the very essence of
things, that they become institr-
; tional. Thus national anthems
are national histories put to mu-
SIC. "Dixie" is a history of the
Confederacy. One may hear the
clatter of hoofs in the tap Of the
drum, or the call to arms in the
sound of the horn, and behind it
all may be heard the awful cry of
war, where men congest on the
battlefield in long, fierce strug-
gle for supremacy. But IS DIX
lie" dying? Is the tune passing?
Has the charge Of Chickamauga
been forgotten? Have even the
old soldiers forgotten the dead
and dying at Atlanta, where
Hood and Sherman met, where
"destiny played with chance"
until the mountain side was red
with human blood? Probably
not, but Dixie" is not received
now as Dixie" once was, and,
Judging from present indications,
this anthem of the Lost Cause is
passing from among the popular
airs of the day. One can scarce
ly believe that Dixie" " is passing.
But the fact remains that this air,
popular as it may be, is not re-
ceived with that enthusiasm
which marked it in the days gone
by, and in fact the tune seems to
be something other than IT was.
Even the old Confederates do not
shrek over Dixie" like they did
in days gone by. Why? The
future must tell. Maybe voices
have grown husky. Maybe the
old men are tired and do not care
to yell. Maybe Uncle Sam S new
policy of throwing his gig into
any old island that may suit his
fancy has something to do with
this change. Dixie dying! One
can scarcely believe that "Dixie"
is passing, in spite of the changes
which have taken place in Amerl-
can politics. Men still live who
believe in the defiance of husky
old Timrod-
''Fling down the gauntlet to the Huns
And leave the future to thy sons,
Carolina"
But "Dixie" is passing, and
even among the old veterans who
were cheered by this stirring air
during the war, the wonted en-
thusiam is lacking, or the men
have grown too old to yell as they
} use to when the song was young
er than it is. Dixie" is dying.
"Dixie" may have cheered the
men before the fearful skirmish
at !Chickamauga. "DiXie" may
have stirred the souls of men who
rushed into the vortex of death
at Perryville, and at other places.
"Dixie" may have sounded sadly
or sweetly to the men who
marched unwillingly to surrend-
er with Lee at Appamattox. But
"Dixie" is passing. "Dixie" is
dying. Dixie" the anthem of
the old South. Dixie" whose
splendid strains have played upon
passions of men for now nigh on
to half of a century-"Dixie, ;,
dear old "Dixie" is rapidly pass
ing from among the popular airs
of the day.
Not since the pacifcation of
the seeded States has there been
such a display of Confederate
sentiment as one found at the re-
cent reunion at Memphis. And
vet "Dixie" blasted from every
band, thumped from every drum
and footed from every horn, was
not the same old Dixie" which
the veterans knew in the erst-
