whether or not there is in these dec
larations any divurgence from accept
ed standards of party policy and party
faith. Washington understands from
Governor Cummins words that the
Iowa plan is pure republican plan
and does not propose any violent or
radical system
LAYS Out Work for Congress.
Mr.. Cummins, however, is very
plainly understood to lay out the work
of tariff revision for congress. Not
for any commission or committee.
The work OF a commission would not
become effective for four or SIX years.
Governor Cummins plainly states that
the Iowa republicans idea is that the
tariff changes that are deemed neces-
sary should be made at once. It can
not be denied that as far as this IS
concerned the prevailing opinion here
| is that there will not be enough repub-
lican leaders in the next congress who
think as Governor Cummlns does 10
see this work accomplished. But the
belief that tariff changes are not only
necessary but imminent, is spreading
and politicians are preparing to reck-
on sooner or later with the PROPOSE
Il IN
| feel there is an undoubted majority
of opinion in the east and among ma
nv marty leaders that tariff revision
cannot be done as Iowa has proposed.
The feeling may continue to grow, as
it undoubtedly is growing now till the
nlan is fulfilled at some later day but
if by any chance the tariff is touched
nv the next congress it will be
through the medium of reciprocity and
not according to the Iowa Idea.
An Explanation.
Persons who think that there ought
Ito he some relief from the present coal
famine from other small coal mines
over the country will understand why
this is impossible when they learn the
astonishing fact that over SO per cent
of The anthracite coal in the world is
; lin the single state of pennsylvania,
and in fact in only ten counties there
Iof That there is limit in the supply
of anthracite in this country is gener--
, ally recognized by all authorities. The
extent of the anthracite field is about
$500 square miles. The greatest
length of any of the valleys containing
the coal deposits is 12O miles. Whlle
! the width is perhaps thirty miles. Ac-
:. cording to authorities on the subject
, these deposits were originally bitum-
| nous in character, and We're deposited
/, at the same time as the hituminous
= coal of western and central Pennsylva
MIA They were subsequently changed
). to anthracite by some process of meta
=, morphism. The original contents OF
the anthracite coal deposits have been
estimated to be 19,507 ,S72,S25 tons.
The actual capacity of the mines II
estimated to be 67,000,0O0 tons while
!, the market takes less than 50,O00,00C
u tons. 1t is estimated that there is
y. over s7OO,O0O,O0O invested in the an
J. thracite industry with an annual profit
y of from sS5, 100000 to s100,OO0,000, ad
ded to by freight traffic earnings Of
$4O0O0,O00 per year.

ed in the Thirty-third Iowa Infantry
under the leadership of Colonel Sam
uel A. Rice, the only Iowa general who
died from wounds received on the bat
tlefield. John F. Lacey, the boy adju--
tant, was with General Rice when he
received his death wound and aided
him to withdraw from the field after
the enemy had been repulsed and the
battle was over.
| A comrade of Major Lacey, who was
with him as member OF. the Thirty
third Iowa says that one of the most
inspiring sights he ever witnessed
was that of the boy adjutant at that
bloody battle of jenkins Ferry, on
April 80. 1864, where, amid the storm
and cloud of the conflict the form OF
the boy staff officer was seen riding
back and forth on the line of the I'm
ion army carrying the commands OF
Rice and rallying the other boys of the
brigade on the colors. 81 was Lacey's
friend then, as | am now says his
comrade, and was a little bit democrat

but Lacey's conduct inspired me te
stand and tight 1t out and we dld IL.
Prior to that time occurred the battle
of Helena on July 4, 1863, where La
cey again was seen at the battle from
on horseback. 1t was on this occasion
that he met flag of truce from Gen
eral Marmaduke, who proposed ces,
sation of hostilities in order that the
latter might enter the union lines ant
bury his dead. Lacey, the. boy adiu-
tant, met the confederate officer witt

among the bravest of the brave, his
conduct being an inspiration to the
troops who moved according to the or
ders of the gallant Steele, and won
great victory for the union.
In his admirable address to the
Grand Army at it's recent meeting, at
Washington, Secretary of State Hay,
speaking for himself and President
Roosevelt, said:
For four years you showed your
selves good soldiers-equal to the best
the world had seen. For thirty-seven
years you have been good citizens;
and who shall say in which capacity
you have wrought best for the repub--
lie? Each year you come together
with thinned ranks but undiminished
spirit to feed anew the undying flame
upon the altar of patriotism. | should
not have said your ranks are thlnned,
for the place of each fallen comrade is
filled with loving memory. And who
can ever forget the faces which never
had chance to grow old-the brav
young warriors who fell in battle and
gained the prize of immortal youth :
For them there is no shadow of strug
gle or poverty; no trouble of gray
hairs or failing strength; no care OF
the present or fear of the future
The unfading light of morning is for
ever in their eyes; the blessing of 6
grateful nation hallows their names
We salute them with loving tears
from which the bitterness is gone. We
hear their young voices in the clear
notes of the bugle and the murmur o
the f1uttering flags. Our answering
hearts cry. Hail and farewell, youn
comrades, till we meet again' /"
Mr. Hay has truly interpreted thu
thought of millions Of his countrymel
in alluding to the brave young war
riors who fell in battle and gained TIL
prize of immortal youth. The com
rades who linger, almost envy thos
| swho never felt the burdens of increas
{ ing years, and who have forever tn
: unfolding light of morning in thei
, eyes. We salute them as we salute a
those who in the fresh vigor of man
b hood offered all that there was in ther
i for the country, and for the cause the
5 loved.

There is charm about the life Oh a
boy, that appeals 10 young and old;
when the subject is one who has De-
come more or less distinguished in
later or more mature years the inter-
est becomes more absorbing. Prior to
1861 the lives, of the present genera
ton of men and women were prosalc,
but wonderful chapter of human
events has been crowded into Amerl--
can history since 1861. The lives o.
the bows of that period have become
converted into transcendent interest
The bows of 1861 fought the battles
against rebellion and firmly establish
ed the union of the states. II the boys
of that day had been less patrlotlc IN
the north, the rough riders OF inc
south would have trampled over the
corpse of the government and watered
their horses in Lake Michigan. Those
who have come to the years OF dis
erection since the great war closed, can
scarcely have any true conception OF
the dangers that beset this country
The popular uprising in favor of the
government was due to the boys-the
young fellows from sixteen years o.
age and upward; they seemed to be
imbued with an enthusiasm for the
union that could not and would not BIZ
controlled except in the right direc-
ton. The boys of the northern states
enlisted as volunteers and saved the
union from disruption. 1t was a gior-
Iious epoch in human affairs that th'
boys of republic should become th'
preservers of a government founded OF
the consent of the governed.
The state of Iowa furnished more
than forty regiments of such youni
men and among the first who went on
in an early regiment was John I
Lacey, then q boy less than tweat
years of age. who volunteered in III
Third Iowa Infantry, who soon attic
enlistment was engaged in the battl
of Blue Mills, in Missouri, and wa
there captured 1t was not an inspif
ing incident for a young soldier wh
was full Of enthusiasm for his country
but it had to be endured. He was lib
ierated under parole and no sooner wa

The Best State.

Iowa was not born in Iowa, because
there wasn't any Iowa when | was
born That was before the territory
of Iowa existed. We live in the best
state in the Union. The part of Hi
nois which adjoins Iowa is the best
part of the state, and the same cal
be said of the other bordering states
The fertility of this country is some
thing wonderful. God gave all these
good things; the question is, how have
we kept the trust? Our conscience i.
clear, however, on all but four years
when we sent Horace Boies to De!

81. The Labor Vote a..
i am running this year against my
good friend, Mr.. Reese. Now the dem
oaratic party hopes to carry the labor
vote in the sixth district this fall. He
saws that he can do mere for, the min
ers than | can do. Since j have been
i'm congress | have worked hard in the
Interests of the miners, realizing that
this was a mining district. In 1890
introduced a territorial mining bill.
which was passed. / got the bill
through after | was defeated for my
seat by Fred White. know that law
has done some good, that it has saved
health, and in many cases the lives of
miners. There was formerly no law
governing territorial mining. and in
the Indian Territory there had been
| accidents from lack of sufficient ven.-
tilation and the lack of shot firers.
Both these requirements were filled.
Unions in Politics. =
1t, is not a good thing
/ for the labor unions to go into poll
these organizations in the past. when
they have deviated from their path to
enter the political arena, is wei
4 known. | believe my hearers will fe1-
member what happened to the Knights
of Labor, the Farmers Alliance ane
the Grange. You know what happen
ed to them. 1t is not necessary for
the unions to go into politics. If the
organizations want legislation it is on
ly necessary to appeal to the member
of the state legislature. or to the con-
: gresham from the district. | would
warn the laboring men here this even
ing to keep the union out of politics
if they want to preserve it.
Bonds of Party.
Mr.. Reese resigned his position as
president of district No. 10 of the
| mine workers organization, his res
, Iignation to take effect in the future
He then went around to the various

GOES TO PEN.
Former ottumwa Man Sentenced to
Five Years.

~
Creed Bailey, formerly an Ottumwa
colored man, but for some years a rfss-
ident of Des Moines, where he lis
known as a tough character, has been
sentenced by Judge Holmes to serve
five years in the penitentiary at FIT,
Madison having pleaded guilty to the
charge of assaulting P. S. Griffith, of
Elwell, with intent to murder him, in
Des Moines. The trouble occurred
early III the summer, near the North
western depot in Des Moines, and Mr..
Griffith, who is brother-in-law of
Attorney John Chamberlain, of Des
Moines. was thought to be near to
death for several days. He finally re-
gained his health, however, although
he received severe beating at the
hands of three men, of whom Bailey
says he was one.
Bailey entered a plea of guilty to
this Indictment. in return for which
| the charge of assault with intent to
rob was dismissed and he was given
| the maximum sentence for the mini,
mum of the two offenses. George An,
| derson and Bert Atkins refused to
plead guilty, as had Bailey and theii
| trials were commenced today before q
| judy.
When the Bailey case was called
| this forenoon Walter McHenry appear
| ed for the defendant and moved for q
continuance alleging that four maten
ial witnesses for the defense (Ads
| Hazelwood, Name Smith, Emmith
Jones and Ella WILSON, were sent out
OF the city by the police and are now
!. living at Nebraska City. Neb.. and cam
not be obtained before Friday.
i After considerable discussion ths
motion for continuance was finally
overruled. Another lengthy discussion
led in Bailey entering plea of guilty
to the attempted murder charge and In
return for this the attempted robbine
case being dismissed.
In sentencing Bailey to five years in
the penitentiary Judge Holmes stated
that he did not think the evidence be
fore the grand jury would sustain
verdict of guilty with assault with in
tent to murder, as he believed robbery
was the sole motive of the men, and
accordingly he would give him the
maximum sentence possible under the
, law for the attempted robbery 1ndict
ment Bailey was we'll satisfied with
the sentence. His companions, having
refused to plead guilty, were placed OF
trial.

son and Atkins are charged was com
mitted at East Fourth and Walnu
streets one night early in the summer
