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

The large ana increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead in this county
is matter for congratulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of its class in the coun-
try, 1t 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 publ
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for $1.9O 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 large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equals 1t. A
county paper farm paper, poultry
paper, a farm insurance paper and the
Special Farmers Isntitute, all for $1.9O.
Come In and order them.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Congress has cleared up its business
by hook and crook and an extra session
is no longer thought possible. True
the President and the millionaire cor
porations that control him are disap.
pointed by the adoption of the Hoar
amendment to the Philippine proviso,
which will prevent the franchise hunt
ers from leotlng these islands as they
are looting Porto Rico, but this in It,
self is hardly sufficient to cause an ex-
ira session. OF course, the usual flood
of bad legislation slipped through in
the closing dsya, having been purposely
held back until the two houses were
wearled out and their vigilance relaxed
so IS to permit its passage without
being noticed. This has always char.
acterized the wind up of Congress and
always will, but there has not yet been
time to analYze them.
One of the worst breaks of the many
made by the republicans at this session,
was contained In the report on petty
scandals in the House submitted on
Thursday by committee appointed
only on Saturday to investigate them.
Naturally, no thorough search coull be
made and the committee merely admits
the facts without suggesting any rem
edy. Itis found that the employees of
the House number 357 and their ag-
gregate pay is about 100000 per an
mum. The committe classilies the
abuses under three heads: Transfers of
employees from the duties of the DOS
ition to which they were appointed to
other duties, unjustifisble payments of
compensation to employees while absent
from their post of duty, and division of
salaries. Many details of these abuses
are given. but they are 30 complicated
and amazing that 1t is difficult to under
st and how they could have grown up
under the amazing extravagaut rule
that has obtained at the capitol since
the advent of the "hog combine, when
the republicans regained control of
the House six years ago.
