Though there is surplus of women
in New York and other eastern states
there are million more men than
women in the country, and in the
world at large there is an excess of
over fifteen million men. In view of
the great numbers of men who have
been killed in battle and who have
died of unrequited love, it seems
strange that the world should still
contain a surplus of representatives
of the male sex. OF course, the more
numerous the men become in proper
ton to the women the more precious
the latter will be. If there is any
thing that pleases the women it is to
have things so arranged that they
need not be wall-flowers except from
choice. This is a lovely world when
you come to understand the arrange
ments in it.

Anarchists cannot be summarily
killed neither can they be imprisoned
unless convicted of a crime. They
can however, be watched more care
fully. Their meetings can be attend
ed by officers of the law instructed to
arrest any person making incendiary
talk, In fact, they can be prohibited
from holding secret meetings at all.
1t is an easy matter for sufficient Off
GERS to be detailed to watch and APP
prehend these people. Make it SO
warm and uncomfortable that they
will want to leave the country. Con-
gress can pass stringent laws cover
ing these matters without infringing
upon legitimate freedom and right of
free speech. Make the laws strin-
gent: then enforce them vigorously:
and if the anarchists don't like it,
then they can and will leave. Anar-
chism and anarchists can be reached
only through law and legal agencies.
To do anything else would be putting
a club into the hands of anarchists
themselves whose belief is mo law"
The calm conservative judgment of
the country will find some way of re-
moving or at least checking this can

The lessons taught by the life and
career of William Mckinley are, pa
thence, forbearance, perseverance and
patriotism. He climed the ladder of
fame slowly but surely. Blessed with
good health and more than average
intellect, he waited patiently for the
hour of his triumph. Buffeted by po-
litical storms, and cast upon the rocks
of opposition and SANDER he emerged
from every conflict stronger than be-
fore. He was kind and generous to
others, true to his friends and loyal
to them to the last. He was never
revengful nor quarrelsome. His great
heart was full of the milk of human
kindness: and no matter how much he
was maligned and abused he never
replied or talked back" A great
mind cannot afford to notice SANDER.
He was filled with a spirit of patriot
ism that manifested itself whenever
he acted. He was truly American,
possessin the spirit of an American.
He loved his countryside loved the flag.
The rising generation can profit
ably study his life. 1t can draw from
it much that is lofty and inspiring.
The world is better because William
Mckinley lived in it.

1t is particularly fortunate for the
country and the world that the Bar
Association of Buffalo, Immediately
following the death of the president,
requested the court to select as the
attorneys of Czolgosz two such honor
able lawyers as Judge Lewis and
Judge Titus. The country has thus
been spared another such exhibition
as that which was given at the trial
of Guiteau. While Czolgosz is receiv-
ing every protection that is guaran-
teed him by the constitution and by
the laws of the state of New York,
his attorneys rightly decline to des-
cend to quibbling and hair-splitting
for the purpose of trying to increase
their regulations by Offering a show
of resistance.

The Renown OF the Great Author and

It's by the words OF the people that
Dr. A. w. Chase's Nerve PILLS have
come into such active demand. The
announcements for this medicine are
not dependent on the testimony of
people so far away that they cannot be
authenticated Its home evidence that
convinces because easily substantiated,
its the simple statement OF things done
and told in the words of the relieved.
Mrs. j. Il. Weaver OF corner Liberty

Lack of preparation.

1t is said that the steel strike caus-
ed loss of S10,000,000 in wages and
100000 to the trust. There is no
compensation in sight for one, the
wage earners. The loss of the trust
may be treated lightly because it is
delayed profit rather than actual loss
The trust still has its mills, its coal,
and ore piles, and its trade. If it is
behind in disorders, it can rush work
and soon catch up. If it needs other
compensation for the interference
with its business, it can raise the price
of its product and take it out of the
consumer.
How and when will the men who
have borne the burden of the ill-timed
and ill-adyised strike make any re-
covery? They have not only lost
heavily in money, which they could
iii afford to lose, but they have lost
considerable of the prestige of their
association All this may be charged
up to the bad judgment and bad gen.
eralship of their leader, who no doubt
acted according to his best judgment
when he led his followers to disaster.
1t is doubtful If any one man in the
association possessed the ability to

The business man who advertise

local newspaper is the one who whines
the most about people sending away to
mail-order houses for goods. He can't

city store and the neglect of advertis-

HON. EDWIN MANNING.

In the death of Hon. Edwin Mann
state loses a man who has helped
make history in the west; man
whose kindly influence has been felt in
hundreds of homes and whose every
day life has been sermon. Edwin
Manning, as We knew him, was simple
and unaffected. His immense wealth
never prevented him from associating
with his fellow citizens nor marred his
genial temperament.
Over sixty years ago Edwin Mann
ing came to Iowa and sixty years of the
kind of life he has lived has left its
impress on more people than those
within the confines of Van Buren, coun-
ty and reared monument the signiti.
canoe of which is widely recognized.
1t has been said that Edwin Mann
ing's wealth was not acquired through
pulling other peoples fortunes down
His business dealings added to his
store of worldly goods but question
able measures were never sought
Through long years of commercial &C
tivity it became known that Edwin
Manning's word was as good as his
bond. His honesty and his purpose
was never in question.
These things in some degree denote
character and with that Edwin Mann.
ing was blessed.
May his memory live and his good
deeds follow after him.

INFLUENCE IN IOWA.

The Iowa republican convention not
only differentiated itself from the gen
eral republican apathy on the negro
problem, but also took decisive and in
teresting action in favor of action by
congress, providing for the relinquish-
ment of our authority in Cuba thus
giving the emphasis of a great party
in a great commonwealth to tine fact
that our authority" in that island "is
the result of war not Waged for ag-
grandizement but in the name of hui
manity and must forever govern and
inspire our relations" to it. The voice
of Iowa always commands respect in
national councils and it is not impos-
sible that son of that state may re-
ceive large consideration in the next
national convention, so the declaration
of that body was an attempt to voice
public sentiment as it was interpreted
in the state. The ground taken was
positive ground There was not mere
ly an absence of jingoism, but direct
affirmation of the principles opposed to
jingoism and all that grows out of it.
Moreover, there was more OF a flavor
of sincerity in all this than we see in
many platforms, for the convention
went out of it's way to declare itself
upon points that might have been ig-
nored without causing comment had II
not fully meant what it said. 1t did a
good piece of work, and, as We have
before remarked, it means leadership
| and influence beyond a states borders
