Why Not a Message Now.

1t is is within the power Of the presi.
dent to assist in securing the election Of
senators by direct vote of the people.
He has right to urge, by a message to
congress, the enactment of measure
which he regards as important. The
house of representatives. republican
house-has without opposition passed q
resolution submitting a constitutional
smedment providing for the election of
senators by direct vote Of the people.
This is the second time that republi-
can house has passed such resolution,
and two democratic houses have done
the same.
There is no doubt that the resolution
represents an almost unanimous de-
msnd on the part of the people. Does
the president sympathize with the de-
mand? If SO, he has it in his power to
aid in securing the reform. Will he do
SO? 1t he will send q message to the
senate setting forth the reasons-and
there are many-for the election of
United States senators by popular vote,
he will 80 focus attention npon the sub
iject as to insure immediate censiders
tion of the resolution, and consideration
means passage, for even those senators
who look to the corporations to secure
their reelection will not stand out
against an overwhelming sentiment.
The president has given thought and at
tention to the questions of far less i'm.
portance; will he. remain silent on this
great issue when he has such splendid
opportunity to give approval to right
ecus demand?
Possibly few postal cards written to
the president urging him to recommend
the submission of such an amendment
would have helpful influence. Com
moner.

The Council Bluffs Nonpareil is tho
only paper so far noticed by the Ga
zette whose editor is qualified by nature
or education or by both nature and ed
ucation, to plant thistles on the grave
OF the late John S. Murphy, of Du.
buque. The fact is that Murphy was
the greatest editor that Iowa has ever
known, and there are hardly half
dozen men in the state competent to
criticise his work. Perkins, Roberts,
and such men might pass judgment,
but to the great majority silence would

Farmers Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the most valuable farm publi-
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for $1.9O for the entire five,

The Railroad Fight.

The railroads and the republican ma.
jority In the Iowa legislature have been
"playing horse" with the people of
Iowa. For the purpose of deceiving
the people a great smoke was kicked
up over the railroad taxation bill, and 1t
was made out that the railways were
"msking the fight of their lives against
the taxation measure. There is no
question but there was a rivalry be-
tween the roads, each seeking to get
the benefit of the lower assessment and
shifting burdens on other roads,
and while the attention of the people
has been directed toward the "assess.
ment" question the roads have been
getting in their work on other bills.
When such corporation servants as
Trewin, Hubbard and Hayward are as
sisting in the passage of q bill aimed
against the railways 1t is we'll for the
average voter to put on his thinking cap
as the bill must conceal something else.
When the assessment" bill was passed,
and 1t was heralded as great victory
for the people over the railroad lobby,
the people commenced to study the bill,
and found that it contained practically
nothing not now contained in the Code.
A great smoke had been kicked up for the
purpose of binding them, and the only
amendment which would have had any
effect against the roads was that pro-
POSED by Senator Porter, and which
was defeated by the Republican ma
jority by strict party vote.
The next few days in the senate
showed the reason for the 'smoke" on
the assessment bill, for the Molsberry
bill, allowing an unlimited increase
in the Indebtedness of railways
was passed in the senate, every corpor.
alton time.server working for it. This
bill is to assist the rsilrosd merger,
which is being SO persistently fought by
Governor Van SAINT. of Minnesota, and
is to permit the railroads to do In lowe
that which they are refused to do in the
other states of the northwest. The new
Burlington railway company has been
organized In Iowa with small capital
ization. There is nothing to hinder
this company from buying the bonds
and stock on all the roads interested In
the proposed merger" and thus OWL
the roads outright, issuing its own
bonds in unlimited quantities TO pay fol
the merged roads. Thus you will find
q company with small capital CONTROL
ing Thousands of miles of railway, and
one or two men who control the stock
of this company being dictators of mil
lions of dollars of capital invested IL
the bonds. 1t was q clever scheme ant
has been successfully worked through
the senate. It remains to be seen wheth
or 1t will fare as we'll in the house. :

Notes.

1t is claimed that broody hen is q
fat hen; hence If one wishes early
broods, fatten the best mothers of the
old hens and the desire is accomplished.
We wish we could vouch for the truth
of the above statement and expect to
experiment on that line in another
month. We would be glad TO have the
experience of our readers. When broody
hens can be produced at will, there will
be no complaint of the hen.
Never handle eggs for Matching with
greasy hands. In cold weather the eggs
should be gathered frequently. A chill
ed egg never matches.
"Wbile the experience of the past
season is fresh in my mind, 1 want to
speak word Of warning to those who
are making their first venture in stand
ard-bred poultry. In selecting your
breeding stock, come down to just q
pair # need be, rather than place in q
pen bird that has any serious defect
in shape or plumage. 1t is so easy to
breed in defect and 80 hard to breed it
out. 1t is Just like tainted blood in the
human race, the evil of it will crop out
for generations after
sulphur is an excellent disinfectant
when burned in the poultry house; bu.
as sulphur melts and smothers the flame
it is difficult to burn it satisfactorily.
One way to do Is to dissolve one-half
pint of pine tar and one-half pint of
turpentine in one-half gallon of kero-
sene in an open vessel. Soak in this
solution large corn cobs until they are
we'll saturated. Then take them from,
the solution and dust on them all the
powdered sulphur that will stick to
them. Use nails or pieces of wire and
insert the pointed ends into the larger
ends of the cob, and then stick them on
the floor. Remove all the combustible
matter from the poultry house,
permitting the fumes to enter
every crack and crevice, all over the
surface, and the lice will be destroyed.
This should be done once month in
warm weather" Wallace Farmer.

Prediction That This Will be a Grass
hopper Year,

A dispatch from Washington an
nounces that from signs discovered by
agricultural department agents In Kan
sas, Nebraska and Texas the chief entom.
ologist, L. o OHoward, has concluded that
the coming summer will be marked by
unusual injury from grasshoppers. This
is calculated from the continuance OF
certain climatic conditions known to
breed abnormaily numerous swarms of
the pest.
An expert will give all his time to
studying the conditions under which
grasshoppers breed, and the chief ento-
mologist will then endeavor to find
some preventive which will exterminate
the pest before the grasshoppers be-
come capable of injuring the crops.

Sprung on Spring.

When the crocus is croakIng.
And the garbage piles are smoking,
And the busy housewife poking :.
Everything:
When the geese are nOrthward going,
And the dust and dirt are blowing
That's the way we have of knowing
That's it's spring.
When the streets are awful slushy,
And young lovers all grow mushy,
Never fear;
Soon the birds will all be singing,
Street pianos will be ringing,
And the mud will soon be clinging--
Spring is near.

Where the Children Used to Play.

Where the Children Used to Play.
The old farmhouse is mothers yet and
mine,
And filled 1t is with plenty and to spare
But we are lonely here in lfe's decline,
| Though fortune smiles around us every
where.
We look across the gold
OF the harvests as of old
The corn, the fragrant clover and the
hay
But most we turn our gaze,
AS with eyes of other days
To the orchard where our children used to
play.
Oh, from our lifes full measure
And rich hoard of worldly treasure
We often turn our weary eyes away
And hand in hand we wander
Down the old path winding yonder
To the orchard where the children used to
play.
Our sloping pasture lands are filled with
herds;
The barn and granary bins are bullying
Ger;
The groves paradise OF singing birds;
The woodland brook leaps laughing by
the door,
Yet lonely, lonely still,
Let us prosper as we Will,
Our old hearts seem so empty every way;
We can only through mist
See the faces we have kissed
In the orchard where the children used to
play.
Oh, from our life's full measure
And rich hoard of worldly treasure
We often turn our weary eyes away.
And hand in hand we wander
Down the old path winding yonder
To the orchard where the children used TO
play.

Prince, Of Peace. ..

A man, who is evidently the same as
interrupted religious services In this city
serveral time during the past few weeks
has turned up at Mankato claiming to
be the Prince of Peace. The Mankato
Free Press says:"He called on MI. Cow
gill Monday morning for the purpose of
obtaining the pastors help to locate the
"bride elect, and to get help consum-
mating the marriage. He said he meant
business. d. p. II.
The pastor said, seDo you wish me to
understand that you want to get married,
and that you want to marry this lady?
'He replied that he did. Asked if the
lady knew it, he replied that be had
made. this declaration at Redwood Falls
in her presence. He then repeated the
assertion that he was the. Kings SOD, and
was ready, and meant business. He
asked the pastor if he knew, where Miss
Downie was. Reeeiv,nSa negative an
swer, he asked whether he would not find
out. The pastor did not know.
He asked the pastor If he could not
/ write to the pastor at Redwood Falls and
ascertain her whereabouts. He was TOLD
that he ought himself to know more
about the whereabouts of the lady BIT
wanted to marry, that it was no part al
his (Mr. Cowgill's) business to manage ,
matrimonial matter of this kind. .sThen,'
said he, "do you mean to say that 70,
will do nothing about it2" Being so in
formed he manifested q little indignation
as he evidently believed that any one
especially Christian minister, ought t,
feel highly honored to serve his purpos
in so important a matter.

NEW ULM REVIEW.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE is, 1902.
"BOS-Key.''

Prof. Bosky of this city has issued a
brochure under the above title, which he
intends making serial, the first number
being put cut last week. 1t is tie ex-
position of new theory a non-doc-
'trlnal thesis on philosophy-a sort of
non-ethical treatment of a subject that
has hitherto been sought for and found
only IN the dogmas of religion and the
syllogisms of the old school of phil
osophy. 1t Is strikingly different from
anything ever put out, and is so plainly
and tersely written that it becomes in
teresting from the beginning.
Mr.. Bosky builds for himself a broad
foundation by saying: "A man who
wants to teach the world and man who
pretends to know what true religion is,
must necessarily be man who knows
the world and man who is perfectly
posted on whatever concerns religion.
Well, | am such man." The style
throughout is very much like Carslyle.
A style at once attractive and convincing.
Mr.. Bosky says: "From New Ulm, Mime
sofa, will start that flood which carries
the sand off the peoples eyes. A man
comes like thief in the night to steal
that false lustre which youth nowadays
sees around the heads of their teachers.
