The period Of existence Of the state
of Iowa is one that has witnessed more
general advancement than nny other
like period In the worlds history. In
this advancement Iowa has been In
the very front. Hers has been g
progress the like Of which has not
been enjoyed by any other state or
province without city of over 1000
people in the same number Of years
anywhere or in any era. Texas might
indeed be cited as an exception, but.
only that her vast area enables her
TO boast Of a greater increase In popu-
lation, her advancement has been In
ferior to that of Iowa.
Politically, the first free state to
enter the Union in all the Louisiana
territory, It might the supposed that
her sympathies from the beginning
would have been against the institu-
ton of slavery. But this was not the
fact The first settlers were largely
Indifferent, where not hostile, to the
anti-slavery movement, In no state
of the North was there less of sym
pathy with the agitation. The Demo-
cratic party did not conceal its friend
ship for slavery; and its represents
tives from this state In both houses
of congress favored every attempt to
extend the area of slavery. The Whig
party, on the other hand, manifested
no interest in the cause of freedom,
its representatives in the last national
convention Of that party acting with
the Southern delegates on candidate
and platform. 1t was not until the re-
peal of the Missouri compromise
aroused the dormant conscience Of the
people that the cause Of freedom was
championed by any considerable party
in Iowa. Then the Whigs, in their
very last convention, denounced the
fragrant violation Of public faith In
yolyed In that measure, and declared
itself opposed to any further exten-
sion Of the institution of slavery.
The election of James W. Grimes,
which followed, was the signal for
the great uprising that marked the
political history Of the year 1854
throughout the country. That last
and only Whig governor became the
first republican governor Of the young
commonwealth, and the party (organ--
ized in 1866 entered upon power in
the state, not again to lose it, except
for a brief period In one of the de-
partments. There can be but little
doubt that the overthrow of Bourbon
ism that was dominant in the terri
tory and early state bore the relation
of both cause and effect TO the subse-
quent rapid advance of Iowa in ma
terial and other prosperity.

FILIPLNOS Ire PLEASED.

An exceptionally interesting feat
ure of the January number of the
North American Review is a group
of articles by the Filipino members
of the United States Philippine Com
mission setting forth the impression
made by American rule upon the
minds of the friendly natives of the
far eastern archipelago. The substi-
tuition of American for Spanish sov-
ereignty has resulted in many ad.
vantages to the people which they
regard as priceless. Among these,
Seniors De Tavera, Legarda and De
Luzuriaga mention the cessation of
ecclesiastical domination, the organ
ization of the municipalities, the sub
ordination of the military to the civil
power, the law of habeas corpus,
the right of assembly, freedom of
speech and of the press, the abroga-
tion of obligatory military service,
and the abolition of the system under
which men were liable to punishment,
even by death, for political beliefs.
The three Filipino commissioners are
as one in the opinion that, while the
war lasts the provisional government
should be maintsined in its present t
form, but that eventually Congress
should confer on the islands terri
torial government. They suggest
also that it might be wise to have a
small delegation from the Philippines
to serve the government in an in
formative capacity. America has
much work to do in the Philippines,
but hopeful beginning has been
made. Says DR.. de Tavera:
"The government has to create
everything. The city of Manila has
been the first to reap the benefits of
the new government, as it had from
the very first moment of American
occupation an organized sanitary
department which was of prime nec-
essity. As yet there has not been
time to do more, because everything
has to be literally created and formed
anew; but we already have two mag
nificent iron markets, the streets are
we'll ordered, contracts for the har-
Dor works of Manila have been made,
q bridge has been constructed in the
Plaza de Santa Cruz, and very short

WINTER.

WINTER.
From scabbard new, King Hoar-frost
drew
His 10y sword OF death,
He kissad the blade, he knelt and
prayed.
1t rimmed his blighting breath.
With sudden leap, flashing sweep
He cut with his right hand
Her warm breath failed and beauty
quailed,
For naught could him withstand.
Her flowing reeds, her 1ow'ry meads,
Her iris-haunted brooks,
Changed in day to somber gray
Through terror of his looks.
Her scarlet gown fell hutt'riug down
From shiv'ring, naked limbs,
AS he drew near, quiv'ring with fear
She loosed her summary whims.
Willowy locks, like startled fiocks,
By cleaning stroke were shorn,
Her bridal veil of vines all pale
With one wild gust was torn.
80 Beauty Proudi wear my white
shroud
And wive with mel" he cried,-
His shroud of snow it chilled her so,
She dropped her head and died.
He kissed the blade and sadly laid,
With freezing tears like pearls,
With wailings loud, his ermine shroud
Over he, vine-leaf curls

Farmers in southern California
use machinery on a large scale. On
one ranch steam plow turns fifty
five burrows at a time, covering a
breadth of forty feet. Its best record
is the blowing of rs acres in four
hours and forty-flve minutes, the
circumference of the field being five
miles. The average capacity of the
steam plow is ITO acres day, and it
taxes the place of 20 mules. A COM
bined harvester, drawn by the same
engine of fifty horsepower, cut,
threshed and sacked 1000 acres of
wheat in one day, The daily allow
ance of fuel is twelve barrels of crude
petroleum.
