sons of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt.
He came of age few months ago, and
then entered into the possession of q
large share of the fortune left to him by
his father.
Those who tell the story say there
have been many merry parties during
the last fortnight in which the young
man referred to has taken a leading
part. 1t was after a theater party and
a late supper that visit was paid to
The East Forty fourth street house. On
that occasion the young man began
piunging at roulette wheel, and as
luck ran in his favor he won rather
heavily. One of those in his party said
the bank paid him $4,000 and returned
the check he gave when he began his
play.
When he played again a few nights
later fortune still smiled upon him, and
when he left the place he carried with
him about $4,000 of the proprietor's
money.
On his third attempt fortune turned
her tickle face in the other direction.
Luck ran persistently against the play
er, and long before the cocks were
growing in the nearest barnyard the
$4,000 won at the first two sessions
had disappeared. and with it had gone
half as much more. for which check
was given.
Obviously there was only one thing
to be done. That situation has often
occurred before and has been solved
in only one manner. The student re-
turned for revenge but the gold all
flowed in the other direction. He was.
1t is said, DESTROYS of continuing, even
after he had let $4,000 pass from him.
but the proprietor interfered. He told
the boy he could have his opportunity
at another time, and SO induced him to
desist.
An elder brother learning of the Incl
dent, is said to have persuaded the
youth to give UP his expensive sport.

LEAVES HENDERSON uNopPosED.

In a communication to the Waterloo
Reporter of Monday, Senator Q. B.
COPYRIGHT announces the withdrawal
of his candidacy to succeed Speaker
Henderson in the Third congressional
district. The early date, May l, for
which the congressional convention
has been called is assigned by Mr..
COPYRIGHT as the reason for this step
He expresses surprise at the "unseemly
haste" Of the call, and that the date
should have been fixed without con-
sultation with him and his friends and
contrary to their wishes. He says In
conclusions: 1.-The merits of the con-
troyersy out of which my candidacy
has grown can not but remain the
same. regardless of my resolution in
the present emergency, and my future
conduct in relation to such contro-
yersy must be determined by the
course of events
Senator Courtright's withdrawal was
not unexpected. His candidacy had
not drawn to it the strength expected
and hoped for With a high appre-
citation of Senator Courtrights quail
locations and fitness the motive be-
hind his candidacy was questioned by
not only the electors Of his congress
sional district but by the state at
large. The situation was one of inter-
est to the entire state and the con-
census Of state opinion was against
the succession of Mr.. COPYRIGHT. Hen
derson has too long been prominently
identified with the interests of the
republican party of Iowa to pass un-
noticed or without protest.
Senator Courtright's withdrawal
leaves Mr.. Henderson practically I'M
opposed for reelection and his nomin-
alton viii, it is most likely. be made
by reclamation. The effect of Mr..
Courtright's short candidacy on his
own political prospects remains to be
seen. The probabilities are that its
ghost will rise up in future conyen-
lions in a manner most embarrassing
and unwished for.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Republican says: Iowa City has
long enough. There is not a cleaner,
better governed city in the state and
those who know of the city know this
is true, while those who assert other
wise are either misled or are willing
to repeat falsehoods because it is their
selfish interest to do So
Speaking of the howl raised against
commercialism the Gate City asserts
there never was a time when business
honor was so high as now The whole
commercial fabric is based on it. Com
mercialism leading to such broad re-
suits for all has a marked influence
upon those who have led the advance.
In support of this it is pointed OUT that
American men of commerce, be they
lawyers, merchants, manufacturers,
bankers or railroad managers, ac-
knowledge the community of interest
and seek fame or Immortality as phil
anthropists.'
The Boone Republican thinks If the
state will not insure it's buildings it
should not kick when it has to replace
the burned buildings at the educational
institutions"
The Hawkeye notes that "the papers
of both political parties, as rule at
tach less Importance now than ever in
former years to municipal elections as
indexes of the drift of political senti-
ment. This is due largely to the fact
that the independent voters is abroad
in the land in local elections
The Capital commenting on the fact
that the clerks in the pension depart
ment at Washington are expressing
great indignation over being compelled
to work until o'clock in the afternoon
says: Perhaps it has never occurred
to them that they might escape the
of being compelled to earn
their salaries by rendering their resig
nations"

How "Dixiev Was Written.

1t was In 1853, While a member of
Bryant's minstrels in New York, that
Emmett wrote Dixie" the Yankee
Doodle of the south, now sung the
world over. 1t was his duty while fill
ing his engagement to compose walk
arounds. the closing feature in min
strel performances The song and dance
of Dixie" was written on short notice,
after the close of the weeks perform
ance and before rehearsal on the fol-
lowing Monday morning. The time was
short, but Emmett was equal to the oc-
casion. He appeared promptly with the
words and music of the song that since
have rendered his name immortal.
The song was at once received as a
favorite, and began its worldwide
march. 1t was first rendered in the
south at the Academy of Music in New
Orleans in the winter in 1S59-6O and
son adopted as national air in the
south. Carlo Patti. a brother of Ade-
lima, was leader of the orchestra at the
theater in New Orleans. He haa APP
piled various airs to marches while
drilling volunteer companies COMPOSED
of actors, but found nothing that suited
his taste until he tried Dixie" which
completely filled the bill, and soon ev-
cry southern mouth whisted and sang
Dixie and, like John Browns south
1t went marching on.
A little incident here will show the
hold that the song at once had upon the
southern heart. fire broke out in
Yazoo City about midnight. A number
of boatmen there at the time rushed to
the rescue and soon subdued the
flames, after which they struck up
Dixie" and as they marched thru the
street they We're joined by men, women
and children. The song drew a larger
crowd than did the fire. So delighted
We're they with the song that they con-
tinued their march thru the streets
with the serenaders. And thus Dixie"
marched on as on the wings of the
wind touching the popular heart the
world over.
D. d. Emmett inherited from his
father, who a noted hunter and trapper,
a fondness for frontier life. His must
rowing on the wild frontier where ma
ture could be seen in it's primitive
state. He travelled up the Mississippi
among the Chippewa Indians when
birch bark canoes were the only means
OF navigation.
The first minstrel company ever
formed in this country was in 1S43. and
was composed of Dave D. Emmett,
Frank Brewer, Richard Pelham and
William Whitlock. After performing in
New York for some time they toured
portion Of Europe, where they delight
ed many of the crowned heads and not
ables with their performance.
When not engaged upon the stage
Emmett devoted much of his time to
gathering up historical facts of pioneer
life, and he wrote life of Daniel
Boone Simon Gerty and others of pio-
neer fame. He informed me that he
had not as yet published them, and
would now leave his manuscripts as an
heirloom for his family, who might at
some time publish them.

An up-to-d date Chicago preacher is
resorting to new method for bringing
members of his congregation to church
to hear his weekly sermons by estab-
fishing a nursery and kindergarten in
connection with the church to take care

be prevented from attending. What he

King Edward evidently does not
share the popular prejudice against

OUR TRADE WITH THE PHILIPPINES.
Those who have insisted on the COM
mercial worthlessness of the Philippines
and have pertinaciously repeated that
the only American shipments to the is
lands are and would be supplies for the
army of occupation, are invited to study
the figures set down in black and white
as official statistics. The lack of trade
activity with our new possessions has
been the object of violent attack and
sneering mention by the opponents OF
the policy of the present government,
and the subject of such witticisms as
commend themselves to the democratic
understanding Hereafter their argu-
ments on the Philippine question must
be confined to the "cruel subjugation of
free and enlightened people" Their
trade issue has been destroyed by the
unanswerable logic of statistical figures
appearing on the official statistics of
Philippine commerce for the ten
months ended with October, 1901, COM
pared with the corresponding ten
months of 1900. The figures, be 1t not
ed, are exclusive of all army supplies,
and represent only ordinary civil COM
merce. They show that the commerce
of the island is, on the whole. increas-
ing al. promising rate. In the ten
months of 1901 exports increased per
cent and imports 81 per cent over the
ten months Of 1900. So much for the
general trade of thu. islands with all the
world. Still more gratifying are the
figures of trade with the United States.
They show for the ten months in ques-
ton AN increase OF more than so per
cent in exports from the islands to this
country, and an increase of nearly 10
per cent in imports to the islands from
the United States. There is the answer
to the sheer that we did not and could
not sell anything to the Philippines.
While the total imports into the Phil
ippines increased FL per cent in ten
months, the imports from the United
States increased nearly 10 per cent, and
this without the complete pacihcation
of the islands.
This pacification, however, is happily
near at hand. With the increase noted
above it is easy to see where an end of
hostilities and the inception of wise
government will set American COM
meree in the Philippines. 1t is also safe
prophecy to fortell the supremacy of
American trade on the Pacific. When
the isthmian canal has been accom-
plished and trans-Pacific cable laid
American commerce will dominate the
Asiatic seaboarls. The commercial
possibilities are thick in and along the
Pacific. With the Philippines as base
the prospects for American trade in the
east are illimitable.

to compute railway values for purposes
spectacle OF dancing puppet- like at the
end of strings held by one of the most
powerful Hobbies of railway attorneys
that ever infested state house. The
taxation laws for which the legislature
was elected have been lost by default,
even appropriation bills are delayed
and Enacted upon, while in the closing
days of the session the entire time is
devoted to passing corporation meas
ures of doubtful public policy for the
sole reason that the railway lobby de-
mands them.
Governor Cummins on two counts, it's
unconstitutionality and because 1t was
not good public policy. The legislature
by it's vote to concur in the governors
veto Immediately confessed to gross
neglect of duty in so hastily consider
ing the bill before. Thus admitting the
bills legal unfitness to become law
both houses forwith proceeded to
pass other bills requested by this same
lobby and designed to accomplish the
same purpose as the bill vetoed. Altho
the nature of the first Molsberry bill
press comment upon the governors
veto made it very evident that the peo-
pie We're inclined to place confidence in
Governor Cummins rather than in the
legislature. There has been enough un
seemly haste about these bills in both
house and senate to arouse suspicion
altho the bills themselves are unintel-
ligible while on the other hand the bril-
liant career of Gov. Cummins as law
yer has inspired the public with con-
fidence in his ability to see thru any
railway lawyers artf,ll verbage and
should he decide to veto these latter
bills as we'll his decision will be ac-
cepted as just by the people of the
state.
Members of a legislature should not
be condemned because they vote for a
bill favored by railway interests. Laws
that will tend to develop railway prop
erty and encourage the betterment of
railway service benefit the public more
even than the favored corpor-
alton. Railway bills are not
public enemies per Sc and,
should not be so considered but in the
case of the Molsberry and Hubbard bills
their public interest has not been made
apparent and yet the legislature has
held itself day after day under march
ing orders from the railway lobby ready
and willing to obey any command in
the interests of these measures. APP
preparation bills have been neglected,
the all-important taxation reform has
been forgotten and the opportunity for
campaign capital offered the opposition
as well as republican critics everywhere
has been rich and salacious indeed.
