IOWA REPUBLICANS.
They Nominate A. Ii. Cummins ns
Their Candidate for Governor.

sOttThoEs
Cedar Rapids, Ia, Aug. s.-The
ticket:
Governor-A. B. Cummins, of Des
Moines.
Lieutenant Governor-John Herri-
oft, of Stuart.
Judge of the Supreme Courts. NJ.
Weaver, of Iowa Falls.
Railroad Commissioner-E. C..
Brown, of Sheldon.
superintendent of Public instruction
-R. c. Barrett, of Usage.
With the above ticket the 'republi-
cans of Iowa will go into the next
state campaign.
Cummins swept the board. He and
his followers took everything that
they went for, and from the first rap
of the gavel to putting out the lights,
there was no time when they did not
have the situation well in hand. They
had hard fight before the commit
tee on credentials, in the effort to
save the delegations of Jackson and
Carroll counties, and came from the
committee room beaten men. They
expected to have six out of II mem
bers of the committee, but the vote
in the committee went against them
in both cases by a vote of five to
six.
This defeat was of no consequence,
however, as they had the strength on
the floor of the convention to seat
their men whenever the question
came up. They won their fight on
the first ballot taken in the conven-
tion and from that time to the finish
there never was the slightest doubt
of the ultimate result.

FORTUNE AWAITS HIM.
Nephew OF baron Is Said TO be En-
titled 40 S2.OOO,OOO Now In tho
United States TreRusury.

Washington, Aug. "a fortune of
81 100000 now in the United States
treasury awaits a young Pole named
Dembitsky provided he can trace his
relationship to Baron Ludwig Napo-
leon Dembitsky, who fought in the
Union army and died on the battle
field during the civil war. An attor-
ney of this city has been retained by
the young man, who is now living in
Russia. The attorney, who has been
in conference with Secretary Gage,
said yesterday:
THE record of the governments in
debtedness to the original Dembitsky
has been found. Baron Dembitsky,
according to the story furnished to
several of the newspapers here, left
Poland in 1868 because of political
troubles and came to this country.
He had 100000 in American money,
the proceeds of the sale of his estates.
This he deposited with the federal
government at Washington and went
into the army. He was killed in the
battle of the Wilderness. In 1897 his
grandson in Russia received a com
munica ton from Joseph Howics, con-
sui of the United States at Warsaw,
Russia, informing him of the money
left by the old soldier in the govern
ment's care and asking for proof of
lationship. The sum, with com
pound interest now amounts to more
than 50, ,O00,000.'
Considerable difficulty was encoun-
tered in establishing the relationship
because records in churches and court
houses in Poland were destroyed by
fire by Russian troops.

Empress Frederick Dies.

Berlin, Aug. 6.-Empress Frederick
died at 6:15 p. m. Monday, at Cron-
berg. The death of the dowager EN-
press was somewhat sudden. At 4
o'clock her physicians reported nc
change in her condition. Emperor
William ana the other children were
in the sick room when she died. The
papers assert that the dowager en-
press long ago adopted her husbands
motto, Learn to suffer without com
planning" She recently ordered that
the public should be excluded from
the grounds of Frederichshof, saying:
1.-The world shall not learn what l am

The End Is NOT Vet.

Yokohama, Aug. S.-The report
from China that the court will delay
its return to Pekin until all Russian
demands are definitely disposed of
eXcitcs no surprise here. Few of the
japanese, knowing so well the pride
OF the Chinese and the Manchuria
government, have any idea that the
court will ever return to the former
capital, to be dominated by foreign
troops and foreign fortress close to
the palace gates. In this opinion
foreigners of long residence in China
generally coincide, and it is recog-
nized that the end of the Chinese
trouble is not yet.

A COMMERCIAL FLANK MOVEMENT.

The possibility of our tariff laws forcing European
capital in selfdefense and in order to enjoy the great
American market to come to the United States and
establish branch concerns did not probably sug-
gest itself to our protectionsts until just recently.
But that's exactly what tariff is now doing.
Some months ago, when negotiations were pending be-
tween the British firm vickers Sons and Maxim and
the American firm Of the Cramps looking to the vir.
tuai absorption of the American shDyard by the Eng
fish company tho fact openly stated that the deal
desired by the foreigners in order to enable them
to get behind our tariff wall and enjoy some of the
profits OF the rushing American business Yesterdays
papers contained the announcement that of the old.
est steel manufacturing firms of Sheffield in England,
had determined to establish large branch plant in the
United States, the object again being to evade our
trade restrictions in reaching the American market,
II is commonly known that already millions OF Brit,
ish money are invested in various American enter
prises. Our generous bounes to our manufacturers,
therefore largely divided up among foreign stock
holders of American industrial plants and these later
signs of the times indicate movement the part OF
strangers, notably British cousins invade the
country in way and get still more of the money
which governmental policies enable the favored
classes to exact from the masses
Capital Is generally resourcefu-f 1t wants returns
and cannot get them in way It Is not difficult to
find other British capital especially Is used to
going abroad and engaging in all of enterprise in
all kinds of countries.
But what will our home manufacturers have to say
when they Themselves virtually beaten their own
game? WIN they become tariff reformors in order to
stop the influx of foreign capital? win they suddenly
concede that they do not need protection badly as
they imagined they did, win they be content to di.
vide up the spoIls with the foreign branch houses com
peting with them own Soil?
This movement of British industry to our shores
serves our selfish proteconists exactly right And ii
is not without hope for the 1t will either re-
suit in removing the high tariff wall and breaking
down some of the trusts it will least add to the
volume of our manufactures reduce prices To the
benefit of the consumer. The more come the greater
