IL the executive council meets expec-

It is going to be knotty problem for
the courts to unrevel as to the distinc-

extent that the two competing lines
are completely owned and controlled by
the same set OF men.
When all of the railroads have bought

THE CHRISTMAS FlAsco.

when the blind lead the blind we
are forewarned of disaster. This scrip
tural truth has been profoundly i'm
pressed upon Mr.. Richardson ana the
minority party he has assumed to lead
on the floor of the house. Whether
or not Mr.. Richardson and the minor
ity referred to are aware of the divine
origin of the text, they are now we'll
satisfied that blind partisanship led by
political prejudice and envy lands in
the ditch of ridicule. Nothing would
satisfy Mr.. Richardson but immediate
and unconditional investigation of the
Christmas charges. In his vlrtuous in
dignation he was neither to hold nor to
bind. Upon his honor he indorsed
Christmas and lent his credit as a
member of the house to the indorse-
ment of Christmas charges. In the
face Of the opposition of conservative
members, quite as honest and vastly
wiser than himself, who advised delay
until some real basis might be found
for the investigation demanded he
forced the fiasco that rendered himself
and his party ridiculous.
The Christmas story had been turned
down by newspaper editors and cor
respondents, people whose eagerness
for q good story and willingness to pay
for 1t when convinced of its trutnful-
ness are proverbial. These had exam
!. ined the Christmas story, discovered its
fused it. 1t remained for the leader of
the house democracy to unearth this
mares nest and call his followers about
1t to cackle together over his discov-
cry. Blinded by the desire to create
a harmful scandal and cast shame upon
the majority, they accepted the story
and demanded the investigation and
when the investigation was welcomed
by those they hoped to corlfound and
the charges have been resolved into an
attempt to levy blackmail upon the
governments Of the United States and
Denmark, the humiliation and shame
of the entire transaction rests where
they belong on the shoulders of Scan
dal-monger Richardson and his scam
dal-loving democratic colleagues. Rich
ardson will lead the democracy no
more. The last thing forgiven to a
public man is the crime of asininity,

ted, He outranks even the immortal
Dogberry. Not content with writing
himself an ass he registered for the en-
tire democratic minority.

WHISKY SELLING DRUG STORES.

The people of Cedar Rapids are now
| involved in the discussion of the liquor
question as it should be discussed. A
newly elected assessor has assessed the
mulct lazy against a dozen or more drug
stores for selling liquor as a beverage.
| It is immaterial whether the saloon in
| fiuence in politics has anything to do
with this assessors action. 1t is a we'll
known fact that in the parIor city and
in every city in Iowa there are drug
stores selling liquor for other than me-
dicinal purposes and we have yet to
hear of single one of them paying the
tax which the state tries to impose
upon the liquor selling business.
From the standpoint of moral in
fiuence the liquor selling drug store is.
just as degrading an institution in
city as a saloon for, while the exterior
presents an innocent appearance the
Idebauchery emanating from the rear
end of such store is fully as bad as
saloon made drunkenness and the sa-
loon has in it's favor the fact that the
publicity of buying drinks over the
counter often deters men from yielding
T to their appetites, to say nothing of
the fact that the saloon tax requites
the state for the expense of protecting
society against alcoholic criminality.
mr.
drink is no more of genteel place be-
cause its business is done ION the
quiet than saloon, and the fact that
men can slip in to such a place for
liquor without the loss of respectable
ity entailed by the visit to a saloon often
| leads to drunkenness and excess that
would otherwise be avoided. The men.
who framed the mulct law tried to
make saloon drinking as public and
therefore as undesirable as possible by
prohibiting screens, curtains, rear en-
frances or chairs and tables for loafing
posed upon the business in order to dis
courage it as much as possible. When
drug stores sell liquor, as SO many OF
them do, they do what the law has tried
to prevent the saloon from doing, pay
no license penalty or tax to the state
and carry on an under-h handed. clam
destine business which is disgusting to
every American citizen. The Cedar
Rapids assessor should be encouraged.
Drug stores that sell liquor as bever-
age should be taxed the same as sa-
loon, or their business stopped. Fair
dealing and the interests of sobriety
demand 1t.

kesP THE DUCK FROM TIE. WATER.

The suggestion Of Senator Hanna be-
coming the republican candidate for
/ president, which persists in showing it,
self in some quarter almost every day,
is one that contains much food for seri-
Gus thought among republicans. The
fact that the senator has fought so
many hard political battles is evidence
that he loves the game. he has reached
the limit OF financial achievement, there
being nothing in commerce left for him
to do that is greater than he has lone.
and the fact that he lives in Ohio is OF
itself sufficient excuse for political am
bition. 1t may be safely assumed that
Mr.. Hanna is a receptive candidate al
the present time, awaiting only the
shaping OF conditions to become an ag-
gressive one.
Mark Hanna as president would not
allow his name to be recorded in hiss
tory among the insignificant ones. The
!, marvellous business capacities OF thu
man and his aptitude In politics ara
sound foundation qualities upon which
to build a superstructure of statesman-
ship. The man who can manage In
Vulnerable great corporations with sig
nal success and the man who can OPP
crate the republican party machinery
of the nation as well as dominate con-
siderable portion of the state of Ohio
is a man who must of necessity have
capacity for the business of president,
and in the years that he has been in
public lief he has been tried only to be
found honest as well a.s able. Mark
Hanna, the millionaire, has turned from
the field of money making with sim
cere, lofty ambition to make name for
himself which no amount of money can
buy, and in pursuing this purpose the
people of this country have believed
him to be honest.
But Mark Hanna, the candidate.
would be quite different species for
the republican party to contend with.
1t is true that the man has done great
service for the wage working classes in
arbitrating labor disputes, and has act
ed with commendable consideration for
the rights of the employed in the con-
duct of his own corporations, but Han
ma, by the very fact that he has become
prominent politically while possessing
millions, has been made by the cartoon
lists the type of corporate influence in
American politics. The Hanna face and
Hanna figure dressed in the vest
checked with dollar signs stands today
before the American public as a SYM
boiical figure used to represent wealth
and special corporate interests as OPP
posed to the general public in politics.
Z Should he become the republican cam
didate for president the fact would open
veritable f1oodgate of denagogism in
the campaign of the opposition. The
Autograph upon every fence and vacant
wall, the agitator from the top of a nail
keg or store box and the fiaring head
line with Its incendiary picture would

The United state. Gun Shop.

The manufacture of the standard
rifle OF the United States will not be
begun at Rock Island Arsenal how
ever, very soon. The particular and
principal reason for this delay is
that that standard, or type of gun, is
not known, and 1t can not be known
for some time, and 1t will be months.
after it is established, before that arm
can be turned out here.
AS has been noted on several occa-
sions. the ordinance bureau experts
|have been experimenting with and
improving upon the lately adopted
army and navy rife. officially known
as the United States magazine rife,
and commonly called the Krag for
short The Krag' is a good gun. 1t
is accurate, has vast range. great
penetration. is of proper size and
weight, has good lines. Is easy to OPP
crate, and hard to get out Of order.
It has stood all the prescribed tests
SO we'll that the experts of this coun-
try have preferred 1t to any other
rifle in the field. In the hands of the
men in the actual conditions OF SER
vice 1t has stood up to the work. ia
ken the use and abuse, and verified
all the good opinions that had been
formed OF 1t. The Krag' is all right.
THE 1MPROvEvED KRAG.
Still the Krag' is not 80 good that it
is impossible to get a gun that is bet
ter. For some time the ordinance de-
partments small arms experts have
been at work on ideas for the further
development of the gun. The changes
suggested by them are several and
some of them are quite important.
In the aggregate they amount to
enough to make the arm quite differ
ent from Its present type, as adopted
previous to the war OF 1888.
OF course. II better gun than the
Krag is within our reach, we want
it. Some little time ago the war de-
partment gave to Springfield armory
an order for 5000 Of the new rifles.
These are now being made. They
are intended for the test Of actual
service. When they are out they will
be issued to the troops in the field,
and put thru all the wear and tear
Of the regular army.
THE SERVICE TEST.
This test of actual service condi
tons 10 one that can not be made in
a day. The guns have to be tried for
efficiency in the hands of men who
are only as experts as the average
private soldier. Accuracy under all
conditions, range and penetration.
the ability to stand rust and dust and
moisture, and all the other trials and
tribulations of the modern army rifle
in the hands Of troops, the practical
bility OF making hasty repairs to guns
that get out of order in action. and a
dozen other things are to be ascer-
tanned, and compared with the like
facts that have been ascertained of
the Krag. On the results of this
test the fate of the new arm will de-
pend II it is considerably better
than the Krag' it will doubtless be
adopted as the arm of the nation. If
1T is but slightly better, or If it is
only theoretically better the Krag'
may not be discarded. 1t will take
not less than six months to make this
service test, and 1t is more likely to
take year. These new guns are not
yet out Of the factory. so it looks as
tho at least a year would be needed
to get possession Of the facts that arc

LNew York Times.]
A great deal of modern fiction is In
the hmighest degree educational. In
deed it is the favorite method of influ-
encing public opinion on most OF the
great social problems Of the time. Some
romances, tho perhaps not many, are
epoch making and set in motion great
reform movements which could not
have been started so quickly or so pow
erfully in any other way. Not few Of
the romances which have exercised an
immediate and potent influence upon
public opinion have in three years be-
come classics and thereafter are read
as such by a steadily diminishing cir
Gle. While 1t is true that the average
reader of fiction seeks only entertain
ment, it is equally true that if his Sc
lection is good he imbibes with his
pleasure many of the elements of a Lbs
eral education, and that it leaves him
better prepared for solid" reading than
he would be IL he read no fiction. Too
highly concentrated nutriment does not
always nourish. Some years ago 1t was
found that the animals in the London
Zoo were becoming NANCY and general
ly out Of condition. An investigation Of
the cause of this led wise naturalist
to the conclusion that it was because
they were fed wholly on dressed meat
and needed the innutritious fur and
feathers of their natural prey for ell
ing" When fed on undressed animal
food they got we'll again very quickly.
Perhaps an analogy to this may be
found in general as contrasted with
strictly selected reading. To promote
the cause of popular education it is
necessary to cultivate the reading hab-
it among those who lack 1t. II the i'm
preston should gain ground that the
Carnegie libraries contained only clas-
sizes and works of reference, and that
the books which are talked about can
not be found there until they are for
gotten, very few of those who should
cultivate the reading habit will be like
ly to feel that they care to visit them
or make use of their facilities.
