few. The trust issue has served to in
crease the opposition to a high tariff,
and plank in the platform recently
adopted by Iowa republicans declared,
in effect, that the policy of protection
should be nulllfed when it served to
shelter monopoly. This plank was not
adopted without a wrangle, and its
adoption has been followed by ominous
signs of disturbance within the party in
that state The interview with Secre-
tary Shaw by Walter Wellman, in the
Chicago Record Herald, gave evidence
Of this unrest, and Mr.. Henderson's ac-
tion is in the nature of an explosion.
Iowa has been recently an important
state in the republican household. Two
members of the cabinet and the speak
er of the house come from Iowa, and
its two senators are among the party
leaders in the upper house of congress.
This division is for these reasons more
serious than it would be in another
state. The disturbance in Iowa is like
ly to prove infectious. It will certainly
have a marked tendency to make the
tariff issue in its relation to trusts prom
inent in national politics. Nashville

HenderSOn,S Surprise.

Speaker Henderson's action in de-
elining denomination to Congress by
the Republicans of the Third Iowa
District is so great surprise as to
amount to a political sensation. It
seems more than anything else to ac-
centuate the differences among Iowa
Republicans, and probably those Of
other Western States, on the tariff
question, an intimation of which was
given in the recent Iowa convention.
Mr.. Henderson has served ten consec-
utive terms in Congress with much
distinction, aud has been twice chosen
Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives. He had been recently nominated
for the eleventh term, and he must
have felt very strongly the disagree
ment with his party to have induced
his declination.
In the statement Mr.. Henderson
makes of his reasons for declining the
nomination, he says:
"In conclusion, l desire to say that,
after q careful study of conditions and
political views in Iowa and in my own
district, | am satisfied that am not in
harmony with great msny of tho Re-
publican voters, who believe that free
trade, in whole or in part, will remedy
the trust evil. / believe that it will
not, but that such a remedy is likely
to involve the nation in dangerous re-
suits, and so believing / feel that ]
should not accept the nomination fol
congress, which was so generously ten
dered me, and l have decided accord
ingly."
The use of the term "free trade,
which Mr.. Henderson makes, is some
what extreme, but this paragraph re
veals the gravamen of his trouble. II,
could not subscribe to the views OF
large number, and, probably, Ethe ma
jority, of his constituents on the ques
tion, and he evidently deems an.

question touching tariff reform one OF

question touching tariff reform one of
cardinal Importance.
The sentiment in favor of tariff revis-
ion in Iowa probably lies deeper than
proposed remedy for the trust evil.
The state has usually been rock k-ribbed
in its republican adherence, but there
was decided weakening OF the party
lines in the days of tariff reform agita-
ton. The republican plurality in 1880
was 78,059. In 1884, when Cleveland
was first elected president, the majority
dropped to 1878. In 1890 Horace
Boies, who had left the republican party
because of his opposition to high
tariff, was elected governor, and he
was reelected in 1899. The same year
the combined popular vote Of the state
for Cleveland, Weaver and minor pres
Dental candidates exceeded the vote
for Harrison. In 1896 the republican
plurality returned to the old high water
mark - $4,000, and in 1900 it was
S3, 154. Since the silver issue has
been eliminated, and tariff reform
is again being agitated, it is not
surprising, in the light of past history,
that there should be q disturbance in
the republican party in the state on
that question.
Iowa is almost exclusively an agri-
cultural state. 1t has rich farming
lands, few manufactures, and practi'
cally no mineral resources. The direc'

Victim Of Brothers. Prank.

Although Miss Sarah Fowler, of this
place, has apparently perfect eyes, she
cannot see, as result of strange ac-
cident, says Beverly, N. j., special
to the st. Louis Republic.
Several weeks ago she was playing
with her brother, when he suddenly
twisted Der hand in fun. He released
her at once, but the pain was SO in
tense that she was compelled to go to
bed. The next morning Miss Fowler
was Mortified to find that she was una
BILE to see. An occulist, who examined
her eyes, could not discover the cause
of the trouble. Since that time spe-

have failed to relieve her. The eyelids
have become almost as hard, as iron.
