The Republicans are having trouble over the tariff and there Is no telling what is going to come of it. The Beb- cock bill is very embarrassing, and that gentleman promises to give the Repub- Icans almost as much trouble as Ran daIl used to give the Democrats. Certain it is that when the people have time to look into 1t they are going ot put on the free list articles that our manufacturers sell abroad at less price than they de- mand and receive at home. That is Bab- cocksm, and it is an ism that will cir- cuIate like the cholera.

The ltaee to the swim.

DR.. Cameron Mann, the new arch
bishop of North Dakota, is extremely
athletic, says the Saturday Evening
Post His serious calling has never
forced him into forgetfulness Of the
delights of brisk walk, turn at ten
mis- or the fascinations of golf.
The reverend doctor once had occa-
sion to be unusually thankful for his
athletic tendencies. AT that time he
resided in pretty, brown, iyy-clod
cottage on the south bluffs in Kansas
City His church was a good half-mile
away mostly uphill. On a certa.
pleasant Sunday evening a young re-
porter called in quest of information,
and Doctor Mann. ever a cheerful
newsgiyer, plunged INTO the subject
and talked at leEgth looking into
books and making notes as he chatted.
The minutes few and dusk crept on.
There was a pipe TO be lighted, and
finally the gas After while, when
the conversation lulled, a clock chimed
out-eightl The reverend doctor
reached for his watch. In an instant
he tossed his dressing gown aside
graspod a coat and hat and was away
leaving the reporter speeehless. Then
feminine voice spoke;
mr.. Mann should have been in
church ten minutes ago.
IL am very sorry" stammered the
reporter
"oh. never mind. the lady said
he'll run all the way"
And true enough, from the from
porch the reporter saw, far up the gray
treet. a stout figure running away al
{. for dear life.

its kind in the history of the United
States. All suggestions along this line
In the way of designs submitted by
members Of the guild, in contest for
the exposition colors, have been turned
over to the guild by Secretary Stevens.
He has requested that a design for
the proposed flag be selected from
among competitive designs by the
members, and submitted by the guild
to the executive committee for its ap-
proval and adoption. AS soon as this
is done, the flag will be manufactured
in bunting and distributed over this
country and Europe. II has been sug-
gested that it be used over the head
quarters Of the various foreign diplo-
mats of the exposition.
An official of the worlds fair stated
recently that one of the cleverest
strokes of the management would be
the use of the flag as a standard for the
worlds fair ambassadors of the federal
government on their missions abroad.
This may be done if the flag has been

prominent members OF the guild AMI
chief of the arts department of the ex-
position, said that the guild would en-
ter on its task of originating the flag
with patriotic zest and submit it's con-
clusions without delay. He said that
the consensus Of opinion in the guild
was for the incorporation of the fieur-
de-lis as the chief feature of the flag

established Chief Ives thought that
the feur-de-lis was peculiarly appro-
pirate for these reasons as the most
conspicuous emblem suggestive of St.

designs have been submitted may
bring forward this idea OF course, the
composite colors in the flag will be
those selected by the guild as the
colors of the exposition-red, yellow
and blue with white. The idea OF the

CAMP LACEY,

The Mahaska county fair grounds
in which the 5Oth Iowa Regiment is
now quartered has three times been
used as a rendezvous for soldiers.
The first time was in 1862 when the
33rd Iowa was formed here and mus
tered into the United States service.
The second time was in 1886 when the
First Brigade, composed OF the 1st,
3rd and 5th Regiments of the I. N G.,
under the old organization, was en-
csmped here. And the third is the
present. Major Lacey In whose honor
the camp has this time been named,
is not stranger to the place. 1t was
here that he enlisted as a private in
Co. D, 33rd Iowa, after having served
a year in the 3rd Iowa and having
been discharged because of wound.
Mr.. Lacey rose rapidly in the service
and was mustered out as a Major,
having won tbis honor by gallant SER
vice at the siege of Mobile.
When the 33rd was being organized
the grounds were known as Camp
Tuttle, in honor Of Brigadier- General
j. M. Tuttle, of Iowa. Within the
first week OF September all the COM
panies arrived there, and in a few
days each of them had erected it's
own barracks, from lumber furnished
by the government. The barracks
were OF uniform style; square, or
nearly so, of rough unpainted boards,
without floors, windows or chimneys,
and lined around the inside with tiers
of bunks. Late in the afternoon of
the 4th of October, the regiment was
mustered into the United states, and
on Thursday, November 20, it march
ed to Eddyville, the nearest railway
station, where it embarked for the
war.
The scenes about camp at that time
were very different from those of to-
day. There were many ladies and
visitors on the ground as to-day, but
they were there to say good. bye to
brothers, fathers and sweethearts,
many OF whom were destined never
to return. We doubt not that the
same courageous spirit prevades the
boys of to-day, but all hope that they
may never be called upon to endure
the hardships of the boys of '62.

DLSGUSTED DEMOCRATS.

Judged by the expression of sew
eral of the leading organs of the dis
trict the Democrats are much dis
gusted with the action Of their recent
conventions in which the Populistic
element oyerrode the old line ele-
ment of the party and endorsed the
free trade and free silver Kansas
City platform. That old wheel horse
of the party, Captain s. B. Evans, of
Ottumwa, in his paper The Inde-
pendent, says:
John P, Reese, as president of the
miners union commanded the re-
specU of the miners themselves and
the people generally, but when he
took advantage of his position to
push himself on a political party as
a candidate for congress lie trans
formed himself into quite a different
character. He made the same kind
Of a mistake that Sovereign made
when he was at the head of the
Knights of Labor, who lost influence
and ruined the organization to which
he was attached"
Lon BOydstOn OF the Monte yuma
Democrat shows his disgust in the
following paragraph:
1.-THE delegates from Poweshiek
county to the congressional conven-
tion at Oskaloosa last Thursday
unanimously voted against endorsing
16 to and the Kansas City platform,
10 Ia r,n{iAnoffnr nf kn
Democrats editor. But the Popu.
lists, headed by General Weaver,
carried the endorsement resolution
by vote 1l2 for to % against-and
then Reese stepped right upon that
rotton old plank and accepted the
nomination. What will the harvest
be?
The Oskaloosa Times believes that
the endorsement of the free silver
idea was bad politics. Editor Burke
made a brave fight for elimination
but was voted down to the tune Of %
to 112. That would indicate the crowd
was decidedly PopulIstic. The Times
emits the following wall:
"There is only one feature about
it that can be criticised and that ia
in needlessly dragging in the Kansas
City platform, by the heels, in the
last three lines. There was no neces-
sity for it. The platform is suffi-
ciently definite and complete without
it. 1t was the one mistake of the
convention. With the commission of
the last three lines the platform
would be unassailable."

Pessimists who have seen evidence
OF the decay of agriculture and the
doom of the country in the increas sing
number of men employed in the va
rious industries of the country should
read tbs bulletin and take comfort.
The development of the magnificent
state of Iowa is the work of the last
generation and has been synchronous
with the industrial development of
the country. Withoutthat industrial
advance Iowa could not have been
what it is. 1t is the railroads which
give Iowa excess to the markets and
the agricultural machinery which
makes it possible for the population
of the state to plant and harvest the
great crop. Neither the character of
the soil nor the quality of the popul-
alton, fine as they both are, could
alone have made of the territory of
Iowa the state that it is today.
The state is unique. With almost no
resources but those OF agriculture it
has built up one of the most efficient
systems of state education and one of
the best state governments in the en-
tire union. When the pessimists have
grown weary of contemplating the ag-
ricultural decline of New England,
let them look at Iowa and take heart.
1t may be that the state of Texas, with
it's boundless areas, may some day,
lead in value of agricultural products,
but it can never present the picture
of unbroken prosperity, of successive
fertile fields, and the equable distrbi-
ution of population that gives Iowa
its enviable position at the head of
the agricultural states OF the greatest
agricultural nation in the world.

HELD UP A TRAIN,
Bandits Secure Big Booty and
Lose a Man.

Savannah, ILL.,, Aug. 6.-From S2o,-
900 to sI20, 900 in money and one life
lost represent the results of a hoIdup
ON the Burlington limited express
at Marcus, flag station eight miles
from here, at midnight. The dead
man was one of the bandits, ap-
parently a railroad man, and was
killed by Adams Express Messenger
Byle, who unloaded his pistol at the
retreating band after the robbery
was completed. A posse of thirty
five men is close upon the heels of
the remaining five bandits and a
battle Is anticipated. The train pass
ed here at eleven and when it reached
the lonely river bottoms near Marcus.
Engineer Emerson responded to tor
pedo signals by stopping the train.
AS he did 80 he was covered by two
masked men, while others cut the
engine and express car from the
train. These were taken up the road,
The express car was dynamitsd, the
safe demolished and everything of
value placed in sacks. The robbers
mounted horses and started away at
a gallop, and when Byle opened fre
one of them was seen to reel but for
a while was supported by his COM
rades. He was finally left by she
roadside and his dead body was
found at daylight by a posse. The
desperados are believed to be rail-
road men.

the guard are to be organized upon
plans now in vogue, but are not to
receive assistance from the national
government unless they comply with
the directions as to drill, camps of
instruction, and marching and target
practice.
The regiments are to be associated
with the regulars in brigade and div
ision maneuvres, aud in case of war
are subject to orders from the Presi-
dent, though the term of obligatory
service is not to extend beyond
nine months. Special provision Is
made to give the national guard, with
out expense to the state, the same
sort of rifles as the regulars. The
training is to be uniform throughout
the country and is to be supervised
in a general way by regular army Of
ficers or instructors.
The national volunteer reserve is to
consist of 100, 900 trained men who
have served in the regular or volun-
teer army or in the national guard.
These are to be enrolled for five years,
are to report under orders of the
Secretary of War for drill, inspection,
and instruction, but are not to per-
form military duty for more than ten
days in any one year. They are to
be organized, when needed under the
volunteer laws of 1898 and 1899, and
officers are to be namediby the Pres
ident.
In case of war this reserve force is
to be ready for immediate service
and will be received as the first or
ganizations of any volunteer force
called out.
In brief the national guard is made
by this bill first reserve in case of
war as far as it elects to become such,
and is given first opportunity for SER
vice. On the other hand, the national
volunteer reserve Is simply an enroll
mert of trained soldiers who signify
their willingness to take service incase
ofwar and can be put in the field while
other volunteer regiments are being
trained. The bill is permeated with
the idea that national guardsmen are
not holiday militia, but soldiers train
ed for active service.
The bill passed the House by two
thirds vote, and, with the present
popular feeling in support of it, will
probably pass the Senate. Then ma
tional guardsmen will get proper en-
couragement in their efforts to make
their organizations all that these
shOuld be,

TOWA'S STALWART REPUBLI-
nAMS

st. Louis Globe Democrat: The
Hawkeye States Republicans hav 9
put up ticket which will win, and
have framed platform which clear
ly and courageously meets all the
tests of party orthodoxy. They in
dorse the administration of Pres
ident Roosevelt; approve the work
done in the recent session of Con-
gress, especially the measures for
the reduction of taxation, for a civil
government in the Philippines, and
for the construction of an isthmian
canal; favor the continuation of the
enlightened policy pursued by the
government in the Philippines, stand
by the historic principles of the Re-
publican party in giving adequate
protection to home industry, and ap-
plaud the Presidents action in pro-
ceeding against the great trusts in
the courts.
On this sort Of platform the Iowa
Republicans will sweep their state in
November. The canvass in Iowa is
attracting great attention both out
side the state and in 1t. The entire
delegation of the state in Congress
was at the convention. The press
of the country has given much space
to the campaign in that state. At the
present moment Iowa has larger
number of men of national proper
tiOns than almost any other state of
the forty. five in proportion to popu-
lation. One otthem, Senator Allison,
has been a potent figure in national
politics for many years and has often
been mentioned in connection with
the presidency. Another of them,
Secretary Saaw, stauds in the list of
presidential possibilities of the near
future. Still another of them, Speak
er Henderson is one of the most po-
tent personages in Congress. These
are circumstances which in any case
| give much interest to the canvass OF
| 1902
Although Iowa has been constantly
Republican for many years, except
during the breaks in which Boies was
elected governor, some of the Demo
cratic politicians have been boasting
that their party has a chance to car
ry it this yers. The courageous and
intelligent action of the Republican
convention just held, and the enthus-
iasm displayed thereat, show that
all such hopes are vain, The Repub-
licans of that state have opened their
canvass under the happiest auspices.
They are under able leadership, have
an inspiring platform, and know the
value of Republican victory as a
means of maintaining the states
prestige. No one doubts that they
will rise TO the level Of their opper
tunities. 1t Is safe to predict that
Iowa will contribute it's full quota to
the handsome majority which the
Republican party will win in the state
and congressional al csnvasses of 1902.

The erstwhile Democratic Knox
vile Express evidently sees no further
use of mincing matters politically,
and arises to remark: ut used to be
thought that the bu5hel of wheat and
the bullion in silver dollar would
always stay together, but 1t begins to
look rather doubtful. Last week the
bullion value of the silver dollar was
only about 4Oc, while oats touched
TIC in Chicago and wheat fuctuated
not far from the same figure. And
the wheat and oats haven't any legal
tender qualities, either, nor do they
ask Uncle Sam to bolster them up
without the aid or consent of any
other nation"
