SENATOR ALLISON'S SIXTH TERM
Davenport Democrat
An honor, said never to have been
conferred on any American citizen. is
in store for Senator Allison of Iowa. He
is to be elected to his sixth consecutive
term, and an apparently successful eff
fort Is being made to have the election
unanimous. The state legislature,
which is to meet the 18th, contains
twenty democrats, but they are expect
ed to forget their party utilization for
the occasion and unite with their oppo-
nents. Senator Allison Is worthy Of the
distinction.
The foregoing appears in the Spring
field, Mass, Republican of Sunday.
Springfield is 8. long distance away and
III is only natural that the facts get
somewhat confused in making the jour-
ney.
1t is true that Senator Allison is soon
to be elected for his sixth consecutive
senatorial term. Nothing can prevent
this result. II 10 likewise true that the
honor will be {. distinctive one, but that
1t will be unanimously accorded is a
matter of grave doubt. With one single
exception. that of Hon. NJ NJ Ham of
Dubuque, no leading democrat in Iowa
has proposed to compliment Senator
Allison by giving him the full minority
vote. And few democratic papers have
favored that exception.
And yet the Democrat does not see

general assembly can do a better thing.
Senator Allison has given his influence
for the confirmation of many demo-
crat. He did it as often as President
Cleveland sent in an appointment. But
in some quarters all that counts for
nothing.
A PECULIAR EVANGELIST"
marion Register.l
Not many years ago there lived in one
of the best Iowa towns, not more than
fifty miles from Marion, a man who
was known as "rounder" and he
drowned his sorrows il he had any In
the flowing bowl" and who when he
wanted to do" the good people Of the
surrounding country would call at their
homes and play the roles OF Christian
that he might the better gain their can
tidence and then make inroads into
their purses or bank accounts.
When the field seemed no longer
fruitful, he left, but in few years re-
turned with evangelist's credentials
and strange as it may seem the good
people opened their largest church, gave
him crowded houses evangelist" like,

Recommendations" and he seemed to have
a particular spite at the churches and
the ministers of the gospel. Church
festivals" he said We're vile as hell
and many of the church pastors cared
for nothing but fast horses and pretty
women"
1t would seem that such TRADES
should have aroused Indignation of the
church people. But not so. They con-
tinued to flock to hear him and when
the time came for the contribution, as
1t always comes when the evangelist
is about ready to take his departure,
the people literally bombarded him
with silver dollars. The Register thinks
a bombardment with decayed vege-
tables, a la the Cherry sisters, would
have been more appropriate and the
kind of bombardment he deserved

Iowa are men worthy of the confidence

church festival was equally false and
set the mountebank received welcome
and under the circumstances what
could be truthfully called ''prncely

been kicked out of town.
SCARCITY OF SOFT COAL
Davenport Republican,
The soft coal situation is In worse
condition than ever. Instead of relief
from the famine it seems to be getting
worse than ever. Yesterday afternoon
j. B. F'rahm, the we'll known dealer,
was accosted by Republican reporter,
and stated that the local supply was
nearly gone and that several of the To-
cal factories may have to shut down
for a time unless something is done to
relieve the situation. The factories
have been having a hand to mouth ex-
