Old Home Visiting Excursions.

No matter how prosperous or well
situated a man and his family may be.
there is generally desire to look on the
old scenes, into the old faces, to renew
the associations of early life, to get pos
sibly drink from the old well, to hear
THE bells swing to and fro,
It's music just the same, dear Tom,
Twas twenty years ago."
"Old Home" excursions are conse-
quently popular, and the Erie railroad
has arranged special rates whereby per-
sons living west of Chicago can visit
their friends in Ohio, Indiana and west
ern Pennsylvania during October at
exceptionally low cost. 1t is believed
that large numbers will take advantage
of the offer, and that the coming month
will witness many reunions of friends
and old acquaintance who have not
seen each other for years. October is a
delightful season of the year in which
to travel, and the Erie is one OF the

President Roosevelt takes the posi-
ton that the country is now prosper
Gus and that the best way to insure
continued prosperity is to leave the
tariff alone and to proceed very eau
tiously toward making any changes.
1t is all very well to talk about tariff
revision which will include only one
or two schedules. The President real
ICES that when it is once commenced
it is not likely to stop until number
are overhauled. He makes but one
specific recommendation and that is
for the removal of the tariff on anthra-
cite coal. In doing so he explains that
it is now nominally on the free list,and
therefore ought to be actually placed
there. Along with all other conserva-
tive republicans the President realizes
that to tinker with the tariff at this
time or in the near future is to invite
commercial disaster. Everybody is at
work and the farmers find ready
market for all their produce. These
two conditions always go together.
Hard times commenced in 1892 practi-
cally as soon as it became generally
understood that revision of the tariff
was to take place. 1t is also an in
controvertible fact that the stable
prosperity of the Mckinley admins
tration only commenced after the
Dingley bill became law and the
real meaning of the Iowa idea" the
popular opinion couples it with the
tariff revision. The President is
against tariff revision except through
the medium of tariff commission.
This causes many to believe that the
idea is dead issue and ought to be
regarded as SUCH 1t may be reaffirm-
ed next year or it may not. It's adj
herents declared that if it were incor-
porated in the platform this year dis
cussion would cease. Their prediction
has not been verified. Discussion has
continued and the question is more
| complicated than ever Statesmen
long ago dead have been resurrected
| in vain attempt to justify it. From
| the present outlook it appears likely
! to die natural death.
One fact forces itself irresistibly up
on the public. Whatever may be the
| business interests of the country real
lied that tariff tinkering was over.

Major J. A. Dunlap's Withdrawal
Assured Bishops Election.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Major Frank w. Bishop was elected
to the position of lieutenant of the
Fifty-fourth regiment, l. N. G., last
evening, having polled in ten COM
panies already reported 2S5, votes
against 113 received by his opponent,
Major e. E. Lambert, of Newton.
This was the second election, the first
one being held two weeks ago, at
which time Major Bishop lacked by a
small margin the majority of the votes
cast, required in the guard elections.
Major ]. A. Dunlap of Keokuk, was a
candidate in the first election, but he
retired few days ago in favor of
Major Bishop. The Fifty-fourth has
been without lieutenant colonel
since the recent resignation of Lieu
tenant Colonel Haynes, of Centerville.
The election of Major Bishop is as
sured as he has already received 285
votes, while the total vote of the DAY.

The band, however, cast it's entire
vote for Major Bishop, as it did at the
previous election. 1t was felt here
that the election of the latter to the
position was almost a certainty after
the withdrawal of Major Dunlap, as
