LATE Corn CoRNER.-The inside
details of the Gates corn corner in Chicago
and its ending Tuesday will probably
never be known. Likewise all estimates
of the amount won or lost by the Gates
party will probably remain estimates, for
the persons connected with the deal seem
determined to keep silence indefinitely
regarding the event or at most speak in
general terms. Certain of the Gates
partv's friends claim the profit realized on
the deal was 81, 500, 600. Others say the
CLIQUE d" broke only little better than
even. MANY can be found on the Board
of trade who say the Gates pool lost money.
The facts, as far as available, indicate
that the Gates crowd bought 20, 600, 600
bushels for July delivery at % 70 90 cents.
Much of the line was accumulated IN
May and tnrned over TO July. Thepoo.
has delivered between 5000, 600 and
5000, 600 bushel. of cash corn, the greater
part of which was sold in the East at
little or no profit. This leaves from
$4,000, 600 to Is, 600 000 bushels sold on
the advance or settled for with shorts or

REp,lRLIcAM LOVE FEAST.

Indications are that the Fifth district
renublican congressional convention, tc
be held at Cedar Rapids May ], viii
take on more of the aspect OF a love
feast than contest for political
honors. In fact there is likely to be
no contest. Mr.. Cousins seems to nave
the united favor and fealty of politi-
clans and people alike and will be nom
mated by reclamation.
The occasion will, very likely, be
made the reason for gathering OF re-
preventative republicans who will meet
on last years battle ground to fan the
fires of harmony with speechmaking
and congratulations. With no war
medicine making in the Fifth district.
the denomination of Mr.. Cousins will
be made somewhat incidental and
matter of course and the convention
very likely be made an occasion OF
oratorical festivity in which the dis
tinguished incumbent and candidate is
expected to be present and contribute
his part.

above all institutions must have indi-
viduality about it's work. For this it's
management must be independent.
Let the trustees, most of whom are
educated men, and many of whom are
of far superior capacity than any $4,000
or $1,000 salary could hire, continue
their devotion to the school they love.
Men of ability will work and plan for a
school when they would have no inter-
est in a penitentiary. The state schools
Of Iowa have advanced wonderfully
under the trustee system. They have
never been cursed by the presence of
the political hanger on who once in
tested the boards of trustees of other
state institutions, and until there is
some grave fault to be found with the
present system, or at least until some
one can present an overpowering show
of merit for the board of control
scheme, it would be the part of wise
craftsmanship to let well enough alone.

! RICHLY EARnEp RETIREMENT.

The president has In view the retire
rnent Of General Nelson A. Miles Cen
eral Miles has passed the age OF 62 II
is within the authority of the president
to retire him arbitrarily and 1T is UNI
6erstood that he will use this authority
as a punishment for General Miles
presumption and arrogance. President
Roosevelt takes with propriety the
ground that ss lieutenant general OF the
army General Miles is bound by the
rules of discipline to entertain and act
with the same respect to his superior
officers that he demands from his sub
ordinates There is little doubt remain
ing that his Incorporate and disre-
spectful language has at last stirred
those In authority to action at once
iustifiable and resentful.
The first lesson taught an enlisted
man or a suhaltern of General Miles.
army is to refrain from criticism Of his
superiors. Unquestioning subordina-
ton to authority is the foundation of
all military discipline. Command must
be followed by prompt and implicit
obedience. 1t is not theirs to reason
why. Orders from superior officer
furnish complete justification of an in
ferior for any action. however mistaken
ii may have been. The entire force and
effectiveness of the army is built upon
the discipline that General Miles en-
forces upon his subordinates and for
gets to his superiors.
Whether General Miles statement
before the senate committee was or was
not privileged. he has, by his bump
tiousness and arrogance on previous
occasions, richly earned the retirement
contemplated for him. AS a tool of the
legislative and executive he should not
have assumed the right to the initiative
and to sharp criticism Of departments
superior to his own. There must be
something wrong with Miles. He
couldn't get along with President
Cleveland. President Mckinley had to
sit down upon him in characteristic
ally quiet way, and President Roose-
welt has been so exasperated as to give
the lieutenant general fgurative slap
In the face. With all his great service
and splendid performance as a soldier
afie!d, he has assumed too much of la
ter years and become poseur, greedy
and insistent OF applause. He is past
the legal, as well as the natural limit of
great usefulness, and is occupying a
place that might be filled with greater
satisfaction to the country at large by
a. younger and less arrogant man.

SMOTHER RAILWAY TAX BILL.
TDes Moines Leader.l

Is it the program to attempt to
smother in the house ways and means
committee the railroad assessment DILL ?
Nine days ago the senate passed the
bill and it was messaged over to the
house, and since the house ways and
means committee, to which the bill was
referred for consideration, has not had
meeting. 1t was announced that the
bill would be taken up by the commit
tee on Tuesday of this week. Nothing
was done and it was deferred to Thurs
day, or yesterday. No meeting of the
committee was held, and there will not
be another meeting until Tuesday, or
two weeks from the time of the pass
age of the bill by the senate.
The Molsberry bill, a piece of special
legislation asked In the interest of the
Hill Morgan railroad merger" passed
the senate two days after the passage
of the railroad assessment bill, but was
messaged over to the house in fifteen
minutes; the committee to which 1T was
referred promptly met and rnessaged
1t out for passage, and yesterday it
passed the house. Thus we see that
legislation which the railroads want is
mittee comes together to consider legis-
latfon which the railroads do not want.
These things are remarkable and it is
not strange that the most disquieting
rumors are af1oat concerning the influ-
ence which Is at work among the house
members
The chairman of the house committee
on ways and means who seems pri-
marily responsible for the delay in con-
sideration of the Lewis assessment
bill, is Marcellus L. Temple His rela-
ton to the railroad lobby is well
known, He is a candidate for United
States district attorney for the south
ern district of Iowa and seems i'm
pressed with the idea that the way to
obtain the preferment is to be the hum
Die servant of the affiliated Iowa rail-
roads. He Is constantly in conference
with the lawyers of the railroad lobby,
and has made it perfectly clear what
is his object. But the committee itself.
for the preservation of it's self-respect,
should see to 1t that the jockeying shall
cease.
1t has been demonstrated in the de-
bate thus far that the enormously val
liable railroads of Iowa pay in taxes
per mile s16o. while the average pay
ment in taxes for the United States is
$3.50 per mile. Iowa is 800 below the
average, while it is not denied that the
Iowa railroads are more valuable per
mile than the average of the country.
The states adjoining Iowa and com
parable to 1t in transportation condi-
tons collect $110 per mile more Than
is collected from the railroads of Iowa.
Yet mild bill looking to the correc-
ton of this glazing inequality is held
up thru the force of the railroad lobby.
by which 1t is boosted that it will be
sent over a parliamentary bridge of
signs to a quiet death.

NO MeRl1 DISCOVERED.

The discussion of somebody's scheme
to establish a board of control for the
states educational institutions has now
occupied the attention Of the public for
more than week, and during that time
the T.-R, has failed to find any evil
dence introduced to show a particular
need for such radical reform or any
particular merit in the scheme. Neither
have we discovered newspaper that
has been able to see any more in the
new plan than we have. The PROPOSE
ton to displace the excellent boards of
trustees now inspiring the great edu-
cational schools of the state to high
perfection, with a board of three mem
beers, who shall control the state uni-
versity, the agricultural school, the
normal school and al other schools the
state may establish, is a radical one, to
say the least. It has few precedents and
none that has risen to public view be-
cause of its merits.
The success of the board Of control in
managing the business details of peni-
tentiaries and asylums can not be taken
as basis for comparison, since the
work OF a university is something more
than the purchase of prunes by the
barrel. There must be spirit Of adj
vancement, love for the school, an in
exhaustible fund of new ideas and an
irresistible energy in forcing the inter-
ests of the school forward. DR.. Beard
shear did not make the Ames school
alone. He had behind him board of
trustees, whose only interest was the
Ames school. Under their guidance the
school grew independently. A board of
three, with all schools under its control,
would have had no special interest in
Ames more than in the university and
the leveling influence Of their work
would have retarded the growth of all.
The same might be said of President
Seerley's work at Cedar Falls. A school

The Capital reflects: There is al
ways the consoling reflection that the
republican party can never make q
blunder so big but what the democratic
party will always be found standing
ready to go it one better"
zone of the singular features Of the
troubles in which the railways are find
ing themselves is that they are blamed
for charging too little for freight in
stead Of too much says the Nonpareil.
The Marion Register Is satisfied to
say nothing if "a woman can be poll
tician and lobbyist and still properly
attend to her home dnties," but thinks
"the woman who negle.cts her home du-
ties to talk politics and join the lobby
should be invited to go back and sit
down."
