JUDGE RADE'S ELECTION.

The Second district of Iowa is itself
again. 1t is democratic, and it will re-
main SO for long time.
Judge Martin j. Wade of Iowa City,
has not only been elected to congress,
but the vote given him is highly COM
plimentary and altogether deserved.
Where he is best known, in his own
county Of Johnson, his vote was largest;
but all through the district he was
strong enough and popular enough to
run far ahead Of the democratic state
ticket. The same sterling elements that
won him friends in his own ward and
city, were recognized from one side of
the district to the other. Tho demo-
cratic party is to be congratulated quite
az much on its candidate, as its eandi.
date is on the fine victory he has won.
Several causes contribute to tho graf
flying result. The personality Of the
man had much to do with it. He has
a record as citizen and as judge that
is absolutely clean. He is man 81
convictions and principles and his OPP
ponents as we'll as his supporters had to
acknowledge this. He did not have 10
make single apology or explanation.
He did not ask for the nomination.
He went into every county and discuss
ed the issues, never failing to defend
his position. 1t is not too much to say
that he was elected tine day be was
nominated, and had the campaign been
longer bis majority would have been
greater.
In the second place Judge Wade rep.
resented United Democracy. AL.
though the Socialist vote was unexpect.
eddy large, there were no factional
quarrels in the democratic ranks. The
old question that had divided the party
was utterly ignored by the state plat
form and by the candidate. 1t amply
was not worth mentioning. Judge
Wade had more to do with this reunion,
before and after his nomination, than
any other man.
Thirdly, the principles for which
Judge Wade stood, special privileges to
none and equal justice for all. In this
district and throughout the country,
revision of the tariff, and the curling Of
monopoly are living issues.
Fourthly, the weakness Of the repub.
lican candidate had some effect, bat
Judge Wade would have beaten any
republican in the district He was in.
vincible.
In behalf of the democrats of the dis
trict the Davenport Democrat congrat.
ulates Judge Wade on the splendid
victory he has won for the party and
for himself. -Davenport Democrat.

The Beer. Traffic.
The NJ. AYR Reeord says:

Since the late deeision of the supreme
court the express companies doing busi.
ness in Iowa, have concluded that the
business of shipping booze into Ring

the streets. The Adams Express con.
pany has sent word to all of its express
agents not to deliver any G. o. d. goods
on hand, and to return the same to the
liquor houses. At Redding q large
q uantity Of liquor was captured by Con.
stable Asa Harris last Saturday. He
became convinced that there was booze
in the express company's Office At the
depot, and filed information with JUS
tice D. NJ. Rich who issued search
warrant. As a result twenty-five boxes
containing beer. whiskey, and other in
toxicating liquors were seized by Con-
stable Harris. The preliminary hearing
is set for next Monday, and County
Attorney F. z. Fuller will prosecute the
case. 1t is not likely the express com
pany will send an attorney to Redding
to argue this side Of the case, and in
this event the streets of Redding will
doubtless run will beer and whiskey.

DISPLAY OF PROPER SPIRIT.

The Shopping Woman Lost Patience
Over q Clerks Rudeness.
The display Of spirit is often good
thing. This is the story Of woman's
resent shopping experience. She
wanted number of household articles,
among them little twisted wire rack
of certain pattern. She inquired at
several places and could not find just
what she wanted. At length she entered
a store where she thought it would sure
ly be in stock.
Ayoung woman came forward to wait
on her. The shopping woman, who is q
very kindly disposed person, spoke to
the clerk pleasantly and explained her
wishes. The girl thrust out her chin.
but led the way to the wire counter.
There was no rack of the description
called for.
The clerk was very unpleasant. She
remarked, spitefully:
II haven't that thing in stock! I
don't know what anyone wants with
that cheap stuff. am sure wouldn't
have it,"
ne shopping woman turned away IN
disgust, but she said nothing.
The clerk came up behind her and
asked:
as there anything else you want to
see?'
The shopping woman thought the
clerk was becoming more amiable, and
said that she wanted to look at clocks.
Fright up in front; just walk up"
said the girl.
The shopping woman was tired, and
she walked leisurely along the aisle. The
clerk said, rather sharply:
Fright up in front, please"
The shopping woman did not hurry;
she did not want to do so.
Then the girl said, very sharply and
peremptorily:
walk up! Walk up!"
The shopping woman had borne al
much as she could. She turned to the
clerk, gave her naughty look. and
remarked acidly:
| 81 will walk as I please"
The disagreeable clerk drew in he1
horns.-St. Louis Republic.
