paper discovered q compact between
Lind and Van SAINT, by which the
latter was to help Lind to become
congressman from the Fifth district,
the object of course being to clear the
way for Van SAINTS reelection. Then
the Pioneer Press made the astounding
discovery thai Lind was anxious to
return to the republican party. Next
a city daily took Lind out of politics
completely, stating that he had made
written agreement with his law part
ner to leave politics alone. Now comes
Judge Iceland and denies this allega-
ton in toto, and the papers will have
to guess again. These wild attempts
to force John Lind to declare his in

John Lind more than any other man.

%, contained the following. editorial
comment:
The democratic party is evidently
coming to it's senses on the financial
question. Iowa follows Ohio in virtu-
ally repudiating free silver and in
ignoring Bryan and Organism. The
anti-silver men scored a victory not
only in the refusal to reaffirm the
Kansas City platform, but also in the
contest for permanent organization.
+ \ + It is a noticeable fact that every
state Democra attic convention held this
year-eyen that of Virginia-has quiet
ly laid the Kansas City platform and
it's architect on the shelf.
On the front page of the same issue
of the Tribune is given the ticket nomi-
mated at the Iowa convention, followed
by these statements:
The democrats of Iowa, in state
convention assembled here yesterday,
nominated the above ticket on a
platform reaffirming the national plat.
form adopted July 5, 1900, at Kansas
City, and the addition of plank on
state issues demanding reform in tax
alton laws, repeal of mulct liquor
law, and the enactment of local option
license law, and several other matters.
The chief contest in the convention
was on the adoption of the platform.
x 4 + The first minority report reaffirm.
ing the Kansas City platform was
adopted on the roll call by counties
amid much confusion by 5954 to 5899.

Sayings from the Rams Horn.


Men easily choke on mere crumbs OF
comfort.
Roofing out malice may be repres-
sing murder.
Rest is not religion but religion
gives rest.
The mother-vein of truth is found in
the Bible.
The new heart helps us put off the
old man.
The apologist for good is ready to
condone evil.
Self-denial is the spinal column OF
consistency.
Self-conceit is the main spring of a
wagging tongue.
Whatever it is ones duty to do it is
ones duty to remember.
The cultivat alton of the heart spares
the cudgeling of the brains.
When the soul is on fire it's dross
will quickly be consumed.
We will not stop lying in our pray.
ers till we stop cheating in our servi-
ces.
He who forgets the ladder by which
he assembled may yet need it for a de-
scent.
Some who are soul-blind refuse to
be healed because they cannot see the
Healer. ...
Some men are never overtaken by
temptation because they 60 out to
meet it. ~

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP OF RAILWAYS

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP Of Railways.

average cost per mile of the railroads
in the United States did not exceed
$4,000 Accepting that estimate, the

talization was more than one-half

If the government bought the roads
at their cost value by issuing bonds,
and paid interest at per cent on the
bonds, the animal charge would be
$l6O, 10000. In the depressed year
ending June 80, 1894, the gross earn
ings of the roads were $1,073, 361, 1871;
gross expenses, 1871 ,414 1922; net profit,

from this, the nation could pay the

pressed profits Of 1894, and making no

for furnishing supplies that formerly
