Bowling Season Resume Soph.

The bowling season is nearing an end
and this week will probably bring it to
a successful close. The college rollers
started the season with poor prospects
and rather a weak team, but towards the
end OF the schedule conditions have
somewhat changed. While at first a game
with the colegians was considered
somewhat of ''cinch" by the other
team. within the last month or so, Brown
has won a majority OF it's contests and
now stands show OF beating out the
West Side aggregation. The trouble with
the college team has been lack of prac-
tice. II has seldom happened this term
that a member OF the team has rolled a
single practice string from one week TO
another. and the results have been evil

the fact that the members OF all the 9TH

THE MAINE ELECTION.

The state and congressional election
in Maine on Monday resulted in graf
Tying republican victory. John F. Hill
was reelected governor by a plurality
estimated at 10000, against a plurality
OF S4,1S2 Two years ago. Very nearly
full vote was cast, yet the democratic
loss averages Is per cent on the returns
received. All four republican congress-
men We're reelected by n2ajorities only
a little lower than those of two years
ago.
The campaign was one of the hottest
Of recent years, one of the Issues being
the enforcement of the prohibitory law,
the opponents of the republican party
waging lively warfare. The demo-
Gratis made a greater effort this year
than usual, but their loss of ground in
dicates that this is not a good demo-
cratic year. The trust question was
also much discussed. but the people
have an abiding faith In their represen-
tatives in congress as those whom they
look to for the best solution Of this
problem.
From the returns received 1t is still
pertinent to urge AS goes Maine so
goes the union" That state has set the
pace anew and others will follow with
victories.

onel Henderson is one Of the strongest
public men in Iowa. He has always
been exceedingly popular among the
masses of the people, who know him
best. He has regularly been returned
TO congress, by steadily increasing ma
jorities, for sixteen years from district
which, during the first half of that
period. was normally strongly demo-
cratic. His majorities could not be
overcome even in the most troublous
days of prohibition His people, OUT
side of party lines. have taken just
pride in the influential position to
which he rose in the national house of
representatives, Il position which has
been crowned by his elevation and re-
election to the speakership, as the sue
cessor of Thonias b. Reed. 1t will take
more than cunning political tricks to
defeat Colonel Henderson in the Third
district. The nomination of ex-Gover-
nor Boies means an active canvass Of
the district. and an active canvass
means Il large vote at the polls and
large vote means, under the circum-
stances large Henderson majority.

Hindsight will be more Instructive

the Third Iowa congressional district.
The authorized announcement that ex-
Governor Boies will be the unanimously
nominated democratic candidate means
nothing less than that the effort will be
seriously eundertaken. 1t is obvious
why he has been selected to be ptted
against the speaker. He has the pres
tige of being the only democrat elected
to the goyernorship of Iowa in almost
a half century. He is an able lawyer.
an effective campaigner and is per-
sonally popular among many elements
of the democratic party. Formerly a
republican, he left the party on account
of prohibition. The Third district all

adherence to sound money. Therefore

IOWA NEWSPAPERS.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
SILVER s1DETRAcKED.
TDubuuue Times.l

Before the campaign is over the
democrats Of Iowa may regret their
proposition to reduce the tariff to a
revenue basis, which is a free trade
proposition, but they will never regret
having obeyed the common sense of
the party and of the country by rele-
eating Is to to the graveyard of dead
issues, where 1t belongs.
The party in Iowa has been trying to
get away from the free silver corpse
for five years. Those who came into
the leadership in 1896 chung to ii be-
cause they had committed themselves
to 1t so thoroughly that they could not
let go without at the same time slrren-
dering their control Of the organization.
Every succeeding election demonstrate
ed with increased emphasis the necess-
ity for getting rid of the leaders. Eryan
could not have been re-nominated in
1900 and the Chicago platform could
not have obtained Endorsement except
for the fact that no alternative gave
promise of democratic victory in the
face of the prosperity restored under
republican rule. McKinley's election
was a foregone conclusion and Bryan
was allowed to take the responsibility
of leading the party in a hopeless con-
test. The gold democrats at Kansas
City expected and hoped to be able to
say after the election that he was a
twice defeated and therefore hopeless
ly discredited candidate and that the
time had come to drop him ana his
issues.
Some of his followers saw the drift of
things this year and sought shelter in
the tent of the gold democrats. 9th
crs made an appearance of resistance
because. like the Spaniards at Manila.
who insisted that the Americans should
attack, they wished to be able to say
that they had not surrendered without
fireing a gun, but had merely yielded
to a superior force. 1t is known that
some who voted in the convention in
favor of reaffirning the Kansas City
platform expected and desired its over
throw, altho others neglected to sign a
treaty of peace before leaving Des
Moines and earnestly favored reaffir-
nation.
The conventions action leaves the
democratic party In Iowa in a better
position than it has occupied for ten
years 1t leaves the free silver men to
choose between the assistant republic
cans and the socialists, and, while
most of them will doubtless elect to
associate with the former, the social
lists may be expected to pile-up rec
ord breaking vote in Iowa this fall.

September opens with increased ac-

OF ALL classes are now returning from
their summer Vacations invigorated by
rest and change, and stimulated by the
expectations which good crops and
good business prospects naturally in
duce. No doubt the reassembling Of
financial leaders at home will revive
progress In the various important me-
gotiations which have been in contem-
plation for months, and some of which
must of necessity soon mature If favor
able conditions are a factor in their
contamination. Control of many of the
vast corporations, as at present CEN
tered in few hands, is anything but
convenient, and some means must be
found of restoring elasticity and mo-
bility to the big sums of capital now
effectually locked up.
Speculation during the next three
months proWises to be directed to the
medium-priced issues, of which there
are large quantities available, and
which certainly have a future so long
as traffic grows at it's present speed
and rates are we'll maintained. The
community of interest idea is already
spreading among these properties and
is shaping, their destinies. It must not
be forgotten that this policy has
wrought revolution in railroad affairs
more fare-reaching indeed than pros
perity itself. 1t is this policy which
railroad magnates are seeking to crys-
lathe from mere idea into some fixed
