The Davenport Democrat is impress
sed with the thought that Having lib
Grated some 600 Filipino political pris-
oners, among them Aguinaldo, the adj
ministration will now hold its hand to
its ear, and its ear to the ground. as it

"From what we can learn of Hon. n.
S. Ketchum. of Marshalltown," says the
Mason City Times Herald, che would
be very safe man for the republicans

organic law imposing an annual regis
try fee on mortgages in lieu of all other
taxation on the same. An annual regis
try fee of half of one per cent on mort
cages equal in volume to the deposits

make the demijohn of evil blush for
shame and resort to the gold cure"
