THE LATE JUDGE N. M. HUBBARD

Judge Hubbard in politics was an
ardent hater, and no man could say
more contemptuous things of those
who had incurred his displeasure. But
he was a philosopher, nevertheless. 1t
was told of him that the day after the
Cedar Rapids convention last year,
when he was numerically defeated in
the nomination of Mr.. Cummins, Judge
Hubbard was asked how he felt.
WELL" he replied, 81 feel a good
deal, like the gambler who walked in
to a saloon in the morning after play.
ing and drinking all night. He had a
bad head and brown taste, and STEP
ping up to the bar said:

for me-
81 don't believ can was the re-.
ply.
Why not?'
'Well,you want whisky and you've
had enough. of it already
That's just where you are mistak-

that point. I don't want whisky. All
I'm asking is a couple OF glasses Of ice

ance and it is evident that while in
close communion with Mr.. Cleveland
on this particular occasion, he was
looking out for the support of Mr. ry-
an in 1904 Mr. Hill is politician in
every sense of the word; he is all
things to all men and especially does
he devote himself to the interests of
the one man, and that is Mr.. Hill him
self. He is training himself for the
democratic nomination in 1904 and
while he has not secured by any
means the support of Cleveland, he
has so managed as to bring about a
situation that makes it appear that
Cleveland is his friend. Meanwhile
the ex-president has announced his
permanent retirement from the politi-
cal arena and no doubt he is in earn
est about it, but the secret desire of
great majority of conservative dem.
ocrats is that he may be renominated
in 1904. They know Cleveland, but
they do not yet know Hill and he will
not be nominated.
Nor will Cleveland ever again be
nominated; true he has regained pres
tige as wise leader but such strong
antagonism has arisen against him
that he can never again be the idol of
the democracy. He will, however, be
a potent factor in the nomination of
the next candidate and notwithstand-
ing Hills bouquets, Mr.. Cleveland,
who Is VIGOROUSLY Indifferent to such
advances, will throw the weight of his
influence in another direction.

RURAL FREE DELIVERY AND THE
FARMER.

OF all the institutions that promote
the progress of the United States,
there is no other, to my mind, that
compares in Importance with free ru-
raj mail delivery Although It IL
scarcely five years since the system
was adopted, it has already revolutions
lied social, business. and economic
conditions in territory covering more
than one hundred thousand square
miles. Its popularity is increasing at
d rate exceeding that attending any
improvement heretofore attempted in
the postoffice service, and it means
more in the way of personal happiness
and public advancement than anything
else of which, know.
The Importance of this new branch
of the postal service is best indicated
by the rate at which it has grown. We
began in 1896 with an appropriation Of
forty thousand dollars. For three
years previous to that, congress had
made, each year, an appropriation;
but, with declining revenues and in
creasing deficits, the postoffice depart
ment had been loath to take any step
that might involve additional burdens.
AS the matter of establishing rural
routes had been left to the discretion
of the postmaster-general, the appro-
priations were unused. In 1896, con-
gress, in making the appropriation,
embodied mandatory clause; and,
with much misgiving, Postmaster Cen
eral William l.. Wilson, in October,
1896, established the first route, which
was out of Charleston. West Virginia.
On the first of July, 1897, only forty
three routes were in operation Today
there are more than six thousand
routes, serving six hundred thousand
farmhouses, in which live more than
four million people. 1t requires some
experiences of life in the country, I'M
der old conditions, to realize what it
means to these people to be suddenly
brought from an isolated position into
daily touch with the outer world, the
news and events of which had only
siftei to them at haphazard. The ter
ritory covered by the rural routes is
equal to about one hundred and TWEEN
ty thousand square miles, equaling in
area the New England States, New
York. and New Jersey. Eventually
they will cover one million square
miles or more. The appropriation for
the maintenance Of the service adj
vanced from $4,000, in 1897, to $780,
900, in 1898; s150,O0O, in 1899; $780,
900, in 1900; $1,750,00O, in 1901. For
the fiscal year ending June, 1902, we
have an appropriation of 100000. OF
this sum, three million dollars will be
required to maintain the more than
six thousand routes. the cost of each
being five hundred dollars. Nearly
five hundred thousand dollars will be
used in the expense of administration.
For the year, 1903, the department has
requested an appropriation of $6,25o,-
OOO and there iss not the slightest
doubt that it will get it, for members
of congress are agreed that no other
single item in our annual expenditure
brings anything like a proportionate
return TO the people.-A. w. Machen,

The Coronation Suffers.

The Algona Republican thinks a
coronation once in while is good
thing, presenting as it does the width
and depth of the chasm which separ-
ates us from the middle ages. 1.-The
actual government of England" the
Republican continues, SIS nearly as re-
publican as our own, but at immense
cost England maintains sham mon
archy, with fussy old man-milliner
at it's head, who gives orders to the
women what they shall wear and how
they shall trim their dresses for court
functions" The Republican admits
that we have snobbery and money
worship in this country, but, it as
serts, with all our shams we have
nothing like the ridiculous displays
now going on in England; the antics
Of the gray haired children over there
are fit to make dog laugh"

money section of it was adopted
against the protest of the entire demo-
cratic delegation from this state, which
represented the overwhelming senti,
ment of the party in Indiana in 1900.
There is hardly a greater democratic
sentiment in the state today in favor
of reaffirming it than there is in IA
vor of reaffirming the Chicago plat
form of 1864. The world moves and
the Indiana democracy moves with it,
No man in the United States has it
in his.powe to render a greater SER
vice in the pending struggle against
imperialism and monopoly than the
eloquent Nebraska statesman. But if,
he is going to insist that in the face
OF an abundant supply of primary
money and an overwhelming contrary
sentiment the democratic party must
continue to demand "the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to ! without asking the consent
of any other nation" he will make
himself, unconsciously no doubt, the
most potent ally the party of organic
ed greed could have.

CLEVELAND AND HILL AT THE
TlLDEN CLUB.

At the recent opening of the Tllden
clubs new home in New York, ex
President Cleveland and David B.Hil'
were the principal speakers. W. J..
Bryan was invited but did not reply
to the invitation The addresses OF
Cleveland and Hill throw light on the
situation and in this way: Cleveland
with comparatively few words, ex-
presses many ideas, prominent among
which is to be noted his refusal to
ask political absolution; he has no
confession Of party sin to make and is
as firm in his advocacy Of the princi-
Piles he maintained during his admin
istration as ever. On the other hand
Mr.. Hill Is rather verbose; he requires
many words to define his position and
succeeds admirably jim saying nothing.
He paid compliment to Cleveland
and yet remembering his compact
with Bryan, he referred to that other
distinguished democrat who halls from
the great west--our honored standard
bearer In the last two presidential
campaigns able and eloquent
democratic orator, Mr.. Bryan of Ne
braska.' Mr.. Hill does not use words

Defends Judge Hubbard.

The Boone News says men associat-
ed with the late Judge Hubbard al
ways sought to minimize the fact of
their connection in the public mind"
The Des Moines Register rejoins that
the assertion is untrue so far as it
concerns the editors of the Register,
who We're associated with the Judge
for third of a century and who have
always been proud of their connection
with Judge Hubbard" The Register
also enumerates long list of Iowa
daily newspapers that never sought to
minimize the fact of their connection
with Judge Hubbard, and in conclu-
sion says: Judge Hubbard was lead
er for good government, justice and
right. and that will be the verdict OF

DlsREGARDING THE DANGER SIG

The city of Galveston has been
practically rebuilt notwithstanding
the awful warning given by nature
two years ago that the site is danger.
GUS. When another cataclysm shall
have destroyed the new city, there will
be people who will rise up and declare
1T to be dispensation of Pre- .idence
and 80 it will be and this sense: It
will be a second and solemn warning
and also confirmation of what Prov.
idence had already plainly expressed,
that such site is untenable for a city
such as Galveston. Similar warnings
We're given to the people who built
the city of st. Pierre, at the base of a
volcano. The same kind of a danger
signal is displayed along the proposed
route of the canal in Nicaragua. Ii

Mr.. BRYAN REBUKED.
indianapolis Sentinel, Dem.]

Mr.. Bryan pronounces the Indiana
democratic platform good" and urges
democratic support OF the state ticket.
good reason for the use of his name
or that of any other individual in the
platform and expressing regret that
any delegate should have asked the
convention to give him personal in
dorsement, Mr.. Bryan finds in the fail
ure of the convention to reaffirm the
Kansas City platform evidence that
the men who controlled the conven-
ton were either out of harmony with
the majority of the party or too timid
to give Voice to the convictions of the
voters" Mr.. Bryan quotes the Chi
cago Record-Herald. republican
newspaper, in support of his judgment
upon the personnel and proceedings
of the convention and intimates pretty
strongly that Sin the struggle between
human rights and mammon" the In.
diana democrats have made some sort
of surrender or at least a compro-
mise.
The Sentinel regrets exceedingly
that Mr.. Bryan should take this view
1t is based either on misinformation
or else it betrays a singular and most
regrettable inability on Mr.. Bryans
part to see things at this time in their
proper relations. The Sentinel has
been Mr. Bryan's stanch and uncom-
promising supporter in two presiden.
tial campaigns. 1t was one of three
or four metropolitan journals which
stood by him in 1896 and it gave him
warmest and most loyal support in
1900. 1t has been and is his friend.
1t believes in and hopes it may never
have reason to doubt his patriotism
his sincerity, his courage, his demo
cracy.
But the Sentinel, speaking not in
anger but in the greatest kindness and
good fellowship, says to Mr.. Bryan
that the democratic party of this state
had reason to expect from him and
was entitled to more genuine recog-
milton of its fidelity to him in the past
than he has seen fit to accord it, This
democratic convention was thor
oughly representative body. 1t was
in entire harmony with an overwhelm
ing majority of the party in this state
and it gave expression to their hon
est convictions. So far from making
any compromise or concession to
"mammon," the convention made a
clear-cut and aggressive declaration
against trusts, tariff robbery, subsi
dies and all the policies and practices
of monopoly, and coupled with it a
ringing assertion of the doctrines OF
human rights, so dear to every true
democrat. The Sentinel can say this
with absolute Observation-Disclosures since
lit had absolutely nothing to do with
making either the platform or the tick.

A local paper printed an alleged in

president of the United mine workers

down as saying that it would not be
difficult to violate the state agreement
between Iowa operators and miners if
it were considered advisable to de-

anthracite coal miners. The Tribune
said that remarks of this kind, If cor

Iowa Land un.

Onawa Democrat: Hon. w. c. Whit
ing was in town Saturday on some
matters of business. He and E. NJ.
Cassidy are thinking seriously of
buying large lot of grazing land in
Dakota for grazing stock. He says he
is now using for pasture land that
would sell for 500 an acre. Mr.. Whit
ing's large farm is in the Whiting set
tlement and almost the whole of that
fine community would sell now for
$1OO or even more per acre. There
may have been time when Monona

it is not SO now. 1t lies no longer in
the rugged west, but in the heart of
the best agricultural district in all the
