American Consuls Get Poor Pay.

One usually finds the consular officers
of the other nations men of special fit
ness, and they are Outlines representa-
tives of the best society, and of consider
able wealth. Every nation. except ours
allows its representative to give special
functions in honor of state occasions; but
il our representative hoistS the flag on
the Fourth of July and invites those who
respect it to join him in a feast, h must
pay for the refreshment out of his own
purse. The American consul is a guest
at every other consular function. and Of
ten the guest of honor. Seldom is he able
to return the compliment. 1t is hard to

DIR. Rodermund writes that before es-
Gaping from quarantine he thoroughly
disinfected himself. Here is an adms-
sion, therefore, from the doughty expert
menter at the expense of the peace of
the community that he was infected
Notwithstanding his claim that smallpox
is not an infectious disease. BY the
way, why is Rodermund unlike small
pox? because you can't catch him.

Americans who bought England's sos
100000 issue of bonds a few months

tax of per cent. is deducted from their
interest money by the British govern

they bought, and are naturally disposed

incomes of nonresidents, People who

The intelligent opinion Of disinterested
men in all parts is rapidly realizing that
the country has fairly outgrown protec.
ton, that the vast excess of American
manufactures beyond the needs of the
home markets must find foreign outlets
and that liberal, reciprocal trade rela-
tions with other countries trade
if you please,-is necessary to secure
them. Unfortunately the great tariff
made trusts and some of the raw ma.
terial barons, who rely upon protection
to keep up the prices of lumber, coal,
ores, wood, sugar, salt, lead, ETC., arti-
,icially higher than the worlds prices,
will bitterly fight against any relief Of
this system Of monopoly and high prices.
In turning the light upon it, in showing
up its injurious effects, the Free Trade
League is doing good service.

THE CONVENTION ON WHEELS
AGAIN.

The republican state committee de-
ciied Wednesday to have the state con-
vention held Aug. 9TH, at Cedar Rapids
The four Cummins men-Leach, Bruce,
Scott and Philips, voted to hold the
convention in Des MONIES, and the sew
en- anti-Cummins men-Weaver, Sweet,
Turner, Sargent, Clayton, Spence, and
Drug, voted for Cedar Rapids. The
convention has been put ''on wheels"
again for factional advantage A re-
publican state convention held at Des
Moines is somewhat too representative
a body to suit some people. and in the
hope of heading off the Cummins boom
the convention has been sent into
Trewin's territory. Des Moines is the
geographical and railroad center of the
state. Its auditorium is not surpassed
and its hotels are not nearly equaled by
those of any other city in Iowa. To a
majority of the counties in the state a
trip to Cedar Rapids means more trouble
and expense than a-trip to Des Moines.
This is especially true of the eighth dis
trict. for every county in the eighth Is
more accessible to Des Moines than to
Cedar Rapids. The ordinary business
man or farmer hates to spend SIS or 500
in going to state convention. If the
convention is held in remote city, il
often happens that the delegate is

road for free pass, or stays at home

4 The Journal of last week takes all the
credit for the passing by the board Of
supervisors Of the resolution csnsuring
the state board of equalization for
reducing the railroad assessments and
increasing farm property, to the repub-
lican party. The action Of the board
was not partisan action and was
passed by the unanimous vote of the
board composed of two republicans and
one democrat. 1t was done without
consulting the little clique of local poll
ticians with whom the Journal editor
poses as big boss, and it raised a
great howl. Had they known it was
going to be passed they would have
made stormy protest. The board is to
be commended for ignoring the railroad
p ,liticians. The railroad assessment is
not party Issue, but an issue between
the railroads and their willing tools in
the republican party and big majority
Of the voters In both the republican and
democratic parties in Iowa. The ques-
ton will not down either, despite the
efforts of the railroad politicians. The
people regardless Of party are demand

Governor l.. M. Shaw is not pleased
at the action of the Decatur county
board of supervisors in venturing to say
what it thought of the 1900 railroad
assessment. He has written letter to
the local attorney of the Chicago,

vent tn his displeasure and declares the

county, it appears is being criticised by
the friends of the machine element for
aiding the board Of supervisors in its at.
tack on the executive council. Mr..
Gill was made acquainted with the gov

any lese majeste in criticising the coun-
cil's course, he made the contents of the
missive known.
In letter written to Des Moines re.
Gently, Mr.. Gill says the action of the
supervisors has stirred up hornets

tur county on the question Of railroad
assessments.
The board of supervisors of Decatur
county found that the executive council
in the assessment for 1900 had lowered
the assessment on Burlington property
per cent, whereas there had been an
increase of per cent on the assessment
