THE OLD MAN cor LEFT.

The story is pretty good one and
runs like this: A farmer had three
boys. who were faithful little workers
ON the farm. Two years before he had
given each of them runty steer calf,
telling them that If they would care
for the animals they should have them
for their very own. The boys made
three nice steers out Of their pets. One
morning at breakfast the farmer said
that Jones' the local butcher. had Of
fered him $50 each for the steers and
that he guessed he would go down
town in thu evening and tell him he
could have them. When he went into
the pasture at night. he found the
steers gone. and when his wife told
him that the boys had sold them and
each boy had $50 in his pocket that
mans feelings were too deep for utter
ance. and he went out to the calf sta
BILE and said something.

THE SOLID SOUTH.

One of the regrettable features that
always comes to the surface on election
occasions is that Of the soIidity of the
south in voting the democratic ticket,
This would be regrettable tho 1t did not
come from republican point of view,
for 1t means more than intense hos
tility to the republican creed and active
opposition to its support 1t means a
want of tolerance on one side to issues
of national concern. Evidence of this
is found in the brief statement from
several states to the effect that there
was no opposition to the democratic
ticket" "the democrats elect their en-
tire congressional, state and county
tickets almost without the slightest OPP
position" this latter coming from
South Carolina. The country is still
reaping some of the bitter fruits of the
reconstruction period when statesmen
went too far, as it now seems, in plac-
ing the ballot indiscriminately in the
hands OF ALL Had there been little
more conservatism in this respect, and
more judgment in placing the ballot,
not so much hostility would have devel-
oped.
The republicans of the nation are
more inclined now to allow the south
ern people to work out their own local
problems. They are not hostile to the
south. Their feeling toward them is
4 that of kindly solicitation. President
Mckinley accomplished much in bring
ing north and south together in frater-
nifty, and President Roosevelt has a
mission in that respect also. The SOL
idity of any section against the other is
a political menace. The solidity of the
north in republicanism will continue so
long as the south refuses to break into
political divisions. The time may pc
coming, however, for the south is con-
stantly drawing from the population OF
the north, and greater brotherhooa
may develop as time passes. The nation
was never grander than 1t Is today, ana
the south shares in the glory of it.

Berlin, Nov. 4.-That growing section
of the German people which sympa-
thizes with the kaisers American poll
icy gives his majesty credit for another
fine stroke Of diplomacy in sending
Prince Won Pless to represent Germany
at the Forthcoming New York chamber

out that while England will send del

France will send it's regular diplomatic
agent in the United States, Germany
will occupy the chief position by reason
of the presence of one of its ull-biood-

HENDERSON FOR GOVERNOR.

A story is being industriously circu-
Henderson intends to oppose Cummins
for the next republican nomination, and
that Secretary Shaw was party to a
political conference held in Des Moines
recently for the purpose of discussing
the advisability of trying to beat Cum
Minis with Henderson. What truth
there is in such a story can not be seen
1t probably hinges upon the hatred
Henderson has recently exhibited to-
ambitions to succeed Senator Allison or
SO destroy all great leaders in Iowa that
he can shine alone and unobstructed
until such time as it will be opportune
for him to become a candidate for the
presidency.
Viewing the situation with all the
knowledge of political conditions it has
the T-R. is induced to be-
lieve that the friends of Cummins in
Iowa can well afford to "lie low" and
let this kind of game be worked, for 1t
would be difficult to select a candidate
that could be more easily beaten than
Speaker Henderson. Politically Mr..
Henderson is dead in Iowa. He has
dropped a thousand fathoms below the
seas of public favor, and since his
withdrawal from the race for congress
his once best friends are done with
Henderson in politics. Furthermore the
very act which he had intended should
strike Cummins a staggering blow
sauarely between the eyes has resulted
in the elevation of strong, personal
friend of Mr.. Cummins' to political
leadership In the Third district, and the
character of its motive has turned
thousands to the Cummins standard.
Should Henderson attempt the candf-
dacy suggested it would be safe to pre-
dict that he could not secure the sup
port Of one half his own district IN
convention So long as this effort to
down Cumnains is kept up the counties
of Blackhawk, Bremen, Butler, Hardin,
Franklin, Wright and perhaps Dubuque
may be considered as Cummins coun-
ties since the political demise OF MI.
Henderson. The story unquestionably
sounds "ishy," altho some very queer
things have been proposed toward the
political destruction of Mr.. Cummins.
Some day the men who are now promi-
nent in opposition to Mr.. Cummins VIII
learn that the people of Iowa have
made up their minds that Cumnins
shall not be pounded into the earth
and they will accept the T.-R.'s ADVICE
to "move over, boys, there is plenty OF
room for Albert on this band wagon"

THE COAL OUTPUT.

Hard coal is not being mined and
supplied to the people as rapidly as they
would like 1t to come. Even in New
York City there is still a scarcity. Cen
trail Iowa dealers believe they will re-
ceiye a supply sometime in December.
tho it seems evident that there will be
scarcity all thru the early part of the
winter.
practical demonstration of the de-
crease in the output of anthracite coal
incident to the recent strike is furnished
III the figures of the coal movements for
nine months of this year, in the Sep
TENDER Summary of Internal Com
merce," issued by the treasury bureau
of statistics. This diminution is shown
by a decrease of over so per cent in the
last nine months as compared with the
same period last year.
The total amount of coal moved this
year is reported as amounting to 49,
S40,S69 tons. In the same months last
year the movement amounted to 49,
224,426. In 1900 the figure was 34.202,-
7I9. Out of the 2s,115,o97 tons of coal
originating on the Pennsylvania lines
q east of Pittsburg and Erie to Sept. n of
5 this year only 1,619,4O6 tons were an
thracite, as compared with 1,4SS,192
tons last year. The bituminous coal
moved shows an increase from 1854
62S tons in 1901.
The coal problem has been solved for
many people by substituting bitumi-
nous for anthracite. and it is believed
by many that the hard coal dealers will
never fully recover all the former con-
sumers. The people do not care to be
placed at the mercy of coal men just
as winter opens, and are in a suitable
