TALK ABOUT PoPULIsM!

{ lIuIIIDNVII Wit O1FfN'N'I
Cedar Rapids is getting more crazy
every day. They have passed an ord
nance porhibiting anyone from buying
or selling grains on the streets, and this
week man who was riding along the
street in his buggy was stopped by a
farmer who wanted to sell some grain.
The grain was purchased and the man
who did the buying was arrested. Talk
about populisn! The law would be
blown to pieces the first time it got
into court.

There is this morsel of comfort for
the melon growers this year whose crop
was almost total failure-had the
crop been large it would have been a
drug on the market, for people will
not eat melons when the weather is as
cold as it has been this season.

BAD LUCK IN PROSPEROUS TIMES

Wasn't it lucky that the corn crop
failed, that the price of meat advanced
that the hens wouldn't lay, that the
coal miners struck, and that cold
summer sent up the price of vegetables
when the American people had work
at good wages? Otherwise there would
have been much suffering. Somehow
things work along together

The membership of the local Y. NJ. c.
A. yesterday reached the 500 mark.
Since the first of December there have
been Sc acquisitions to the list. This
time last year there were less than 400

make such an increase 1t is necessary
to hold the old members and add over

IOWA NEWSPAPERS.
TWO IMPORTANT POINTS.

TIdTUIH County, NItIltII.1
The "let we'll enough alone and
stand pat' arguments against tariff
revision fail to take cognizance of two
important points. One is that hard
times will come, revision or no revis-
ion, and the other is that there is a
right and wrong to every contention,
regardless of the demands of selfish
ness

1t is all the worst sort of foolishness
to go up against the other mans game
and let ones avarice run away with
ones sense. The temptation to do this
comes to the farmer in a hundred ways
politics, mining schemes, patent
rights, agencies-while If he attends
any Of the SO called fairs and carnivals
his cupidity is appealed to on every
hand to try to best the other fellow.
So long as this never has been done
and never will be done, why try it?

there are of necessity great many

The hardest job which the society
journals have is to instruct the dear
people how to eat sweet corn from the

brought on the table, for no fine lady

CZAR MEETS LOUBET.
President of France Arrives in Rus
sian Waters.

Cronstadt. May 21.--The French
squadron, escorting the armored cruis-
er Montcaln, having President Loubet
on board, was sighted at about 8 a. M,
slowly picking its way through the
great blocks of ice still encumbering
the lower channel The weather was
extremely cold and it was raining in
teIrnittently. The port was elaborate
ly decorated. Welcoming notices
were to be seen everywhere.
Great crowds assembled on the
quays and they mingled their cheers
with the salutes from the ships and
forts, as the Montcalm entered the
harbor, where she was quickly sur
rounded by hundreds of small boats
filled with enthusiastic sightseers.
The imperial yacht Alexandra, with
the czar on board, arrived almost
simultaneously with the French squad
/ ron. Accompanying the czar were the
czarowich, the Grand Duke Michael,
brother of his majesty; Count Lams-
dorif, the minister of foreign affairs;
the Marquis de Montebello, the French
ambassador at st. Petersburg: the
Grand Duke Alexis, the high admiral
of Russia, and their brilliant suites.
| The Grand Duke Alexis boarded the
Montcalm and after President Loubet
had briefly reviewed the Russian fleet
! he escorted the president on board the
Alexandra, where the greetings ex-
| changed between the czar and M. Lou
bet We're most cordial.

the United States steamer Potomac
and the British cruiser Indefatigable.
The Potomac, under the command of
Lieutenant Benjamin B. Mccormick,
arrived at II o'clock in the morning
and landed working parties. One party
went to the site of the American con-
sulate and the other, headed by Lieu
tenant Mccormick, went to the north
end of the town, to the spot where the
British consulate stood, from where
the lieutenant could see Mont Pelee
and noticed that a huge column of
smoke and gas was pouring out of the
crater in a manner similar to the erup-
tion Of May s. He thereupon rushed
to the site of the American consulate
and ordered all hands to the boats.
The American sailors picked up a
heavy, metallic coffin, in wood case,
containing the remains of the United
States consul, Thomas T. Prentis, and
carried it to a boat. The American
party was in imminent danger.
In the meanwhile the Indefatigable
had arrived off st. Pierre, but left the
shore, blowing her siren. At that time

pouring into the sea, raising columns
of steam, and the whole sea was hid.

Covington, KY, May 21.-Shortly
after II a. m. waterspout occurred
in the Lewisburg hills, just south of

20 feet deep and 100 yards wide to sub
merge the valley. The frame house of
family named Millens was carried
over four blocks and dashed to pieces
against the Covington ball park grand
stand. The bodies of Mrs. Millen and

General Wood Sums Up the Work of
the Americans.
New York, May 21.-In dispatch
from Havana The World publishes,
over the signature of General Leonard
Wood, a review of the work accom-
plished during the American regime
in the island.
Public order, says the article, is per-
feet throughout the island. Cuba is
free from all contagious diseases and
it's death rate compares favorably with
that of the United States.
, An efficient and well equipped school
system has been established.
The hospitals, charities and jails
have been reorganized, rebuilt and re-
equipped.
During the last year 25 per cent of
the total revenues of the island went
into public education. Schools have
been constructed at the rate of more
than one day for the past year.
The lighthouses have been rebuilt
and re-equipped and two frst-class
lights have just been completed on the
| Colorado reefs.

event. The many arches erected at
the entrances of plazas by political
societies, fraternal clubs, residents of
various civil divisions of the city and
business organizations had an air of
real grandeur. The scaffolding was
covered with canvas painted in imita-
ton Of marble and from a distance the
Illusion was complete. Bunting spread
on venetian masts canopied the deep,
narrow streets from the rays of the
sun. Beneath these canopies the Gu
ban coiors and palms graced the open
doorways, through which glimpses
could be caught of 1uxuriant gardens;
in cool, inner courts. Many Of the
balconies jutting from the white
walled buildings were adorned with
rUses. Nature seemed in harmony with
the spirit of the festivities. The parks
were literally afame with tropical
flowers and the Yvaulted sky above
might have been chiselled out of tur-
quoise. Above every red-tiled roof
rose a Cuban flag. The whole city
seemed suddenly buried beneath for
est of waving banners.
4 Shipping Dressed in. Gala Attire.
The decorations along the. water
front were exceedingly lavish and all
the shipping in the harbor was
dressed in gala attire. The majority
of the ships flew the American ensign
at the main and the Cuban colors at
the fore or mizzen. The United States
armored cruiser Brooklyn, which was
to take General Wood away, and the
steamer MORO Castle of the Ward
line, on which the troops were to en-
bark, as well as the foreign warships
which had been sent by their govern
ments to be present at the birth of the
new republic, were dressed with
streams Of signal flags, fore and aft,
man-of-war fashion. The American
).colors, which were to be hauled down
in few hours, still floated above the
grim walls of the fortresses which
guard the entrance of the harbor.
| The early morning was cool and de-
lightful and the entire population, re
inforced by thousands of visitors, was
abroad soon after daylight. All was
animation and expectancy. The
streets were thronged and the air was
filled with a ceaseless din. The bab.
/ BILE of voices was drowned by the sharp
cries of drivers and the clang Of warn.
/ ing bells. sS
/ Much curiosity was aroused by a
statue Of freedom, which had been
raised during the night in Central
park, upon the pedestal where for cen
turies statue of Queen Isabella had
! stood. During the morning a bountiful
