Des Moines, Iowa.
The past week.-Mrs. warmer than usual,
the daily excess of temperature ranging
from six to seven degrees. The rainfall
was unequally distributed, the heavier
amounts being reported at stations in
the northern and central sections; but
generally the moisture has been suffi-
clent to promote termination of seed
and vigorous growth of grass, grain and
garden truck. Except where farming
operations were delayed by heavy rain
fall, the work of preparing ground and
planting corn has been in progress. In
portions of the southern section con-
siderable part OF the corn area has been
planted, and termination in early
planted fields has been satisfactory.
The pastures and meadows show very
marked improvement, and the general
crop outlook is now quite promising.
Reports received by the secretary Of
the horticultural society indicate good
prospects for apples, plums and cher
ries, but the condition of small fruit is
below normal.
Farm animals are generally healthy
and the spring pig crop is better thar
the average in recent years.

Yellowstone National Park.

In Yellowstone National Park sport |
and recreation in nearly every form can
be enjoyed. One is benefited by the in
MIGRATING climate and inspired by the
grandeur of the scenery. The beautiful
geysers, the everlasting springs, the ter
race-building fountains with their ex-
quisite coloring, the uncanry pools of
steaming clay, the mighty cataracts, the
profound canons, the picturesque cas-
cades, the wonderful lakes perched high
among the mountains, these and hun
dreds Of other lndescribably enhancing
works OF nature make this region a veri.
table wonderland.
| The existence of this "museum unpar-
alleled-indeed incom parable marvels"
has been known definitely since the
Washburn expedition in 1870. 1t has
been accessible by railroad since 1882,
and in these 10 years nearly $50, 1000
people from all parts of the world have
visited it, and have gone away thrilled
and mystiied at the marvellous panor-
amas of scenery unrolled before their
gaze.
Yellowstone Park lies in the north
west corner Of Wyoming, with a narrow
strip in Montana and Idaho. 1t is about
1000 miles from Omaha. Rectangular
in shape, about 81 miles long from north
to south, and 81 miles in width, its area
is 3, 412 square miles. A recent act Of
congress has set aside as timber reserve
a strip on the south and one on the east
side of the park proper. The average
elevation above sea level is between
1000 and 5000 feet.
The management and protection of
the park devolves upon the department
of the interior at Washington, its direct
and immediate control being in charge
Of uperintendent, with headquarters
at Mammoth Hot Springs, and suffi-
Gent force of cavalry to enforce obedi-
ence to his orders. The government al
so has entire charge Of the road system
of the park, and the work of repairing
roads and opening new ones is actively
carried on under the direction of gov
eminent engineer.

east Lynne"

AS stated in last weeks issue, ''East
Lynne" is to be played at the Van
Werden opera house. The star of the
company, Miss Courtenay Morgan, was
formerly member of the Empire Thea
ter Company, of New York. Her per.
Torrance of Gladly Isbaelle" in east
Lynne" created furore in New York,
and she determined to tour the country
on her own account. Last summer her
vacation was spent in foreign lands.
While in Paris she purchased several
thousand dollars worth of exquisite
costumes from NJ. Felix, the celebrated
man milliner Of Paris. To those OF our
ladies who do not often have an oppor-
tunity to see the latest modes from the
fashionable center of the world, these
gowns will be treat. Miss Morgan's
supporting company has been carefully
selected with view of special fitness
for the characters portrayed. The seem
cry is all new and complete. Nothing
whatever being required belonging to
the opera house except the drop curtain.
The scenery is so arranged that it can
be used on any stage without sighting
the performances. With such surround
ings "East Lynne" will doubtless attract
and delight very large audience Fri

Gen. Wheeler on the Negro.

The following is taken from the editorial
columns of the Philadelphia Ledger:
50 There is no question that the sumo
riority of the white race in the south must
be maintained. Any one who has seen the
south under the rule of the other color. as
il was directly after the war can under
stand why this must be So =
These words are attributed to General
Joseph Wheeler in a report of a recent
interview. General Wheeler is more of n
soldier than statesman, but he must be
very little of the latter to have uttered such
a sentiment deliberately. When the south
was in the condition he describes the col
ored men were ignorant, irresponsible and
under the influence of unprincipled white
men from the north. He might as we'll
say that the orgies of the reign Of terror
proved that the French people were and
always would be unfit to govern themselves
The assertions would be parallel"
In the same interview from which the
Ledger quotes, General Wheeler, pursuing
the same subject, said:
For one reason. white supremacy alone
can insure financial stability. There will
be no political break in the solid south by
any party which tries to interfere from the
north through the smedium of politicians
with the solving Of the color problem by the
SOUTH"
General Wheelers reference of course was
to local financial stability But what a
record the white supremacy of the south
has on the subject of the national financial
stability, Mr.. Bryan leaned upon the south
in both Of his campaigns. She gave him
the majority of the votes he received In the
electoral college. She was In the main tn.

Back in Pekfn.

The return of the Chinese court to Pekin,
which occurs today, is an event Of wide i'm
pcrtance to the celestial empire 1t signi-
f1es a willingness on the part Of the rulers
of China to accept the conditions stipulated
by the powers upon the suspension Of hos
tilities, and it Is an ostensible recognition
Of the duty on the part Of China to es-
tablish reforms which will prevent re-
currence of the dangers to foreign life and
trade in China. At one time the court, 1t
was feared, would not return to Pekin. In
the first flush Of Chinese resentment at the
intrusion of the powers and the violation Of
the sacred precincts of the inner courts of
the imperial city. the determination to re-
main in the inaccessible mountain capital
was announced, in terms which gave rise
to fears lest China was resolved to with
draw once more into her shell of conserva-
tism and eXclusiveness But the influence
of the foreign representatives at Pekin
eventually prevailed to persuade the chi
nese officials that their wisest course lay in
seeking to restore the conditions at Pekin,
and to accept the inevitable injunctions Of
the powers to preserve a pacific, il not a
progressive, attitude toward the rest of the
world.

possible for the Nebraska leader to make
such headway elsewhere as he made in the
south, free silver would have carried at the
polls. and the financial stability of this
country would have been temporarily de-
stroyed. The Bryanite machine carried
everything before 1t in the south.
And yet there were voters at hand suff1-
cient in number to have turned the scale in
favor of sound money and the country's 8
prosperity. They were citizens of the United
States. and qualified for the suffrage under
the Constitution of the United States. But
they were not permitted to exercise their
constitutional right. They were barred
from the polls on the allegation that they
were unable to understand the questions at
issue. and therefore unworthy Of voice
in their settlement.
We have then this extraordinary case to
consider The white supremacy of the
south. under machine domination, standing
arrayed against the public credit; with the
rejected negro vote standing ready, under
LEGAL and native leadership, to save the day
for sound finance, and only asking the right
to exercise a constitutional privilege. II
anything more remarkable than this is to
be found in our political history it is not
visible to the naked eye.

COnsiderate Discrimination Needed

In tariff legislation for the Philippines
there are four essential ends to be attained
First. a tariff on imports into the Philip
pines. framed as to protect the indus
tries of the islands and TO raise the neces-
sary revenues and carefully adapted to the
archipeiago's practical conditions and
needs. This tariff is to be substituted for
the Dinsley schedules which possibly even
now apply to such importations into the
Philippines. Second tariff upon importa-
tions into the United States from the Phil
ippires which will give to the products Of
the archipelago all of the concessions in a
reduction of duties which can safely and
wisely be granted. Third the payment into
the insuIar treasury for the benefit of the
archipelago OF all the duties collected
whether on importatiOns from the Philip-
pines into the United States or unon inn
portations into the Philippines from all the
world. Fourth, in view OF the fact that
the Dingley schedules possibly apply misfit
and oppressive duties to importations into
the Philippines, and that free trade injuri-
Gus to American interests undoubtedly
prevails in respect to importations into the
United States from the islands. 1t is abso-
luteiy essential that this temporary tariff
measure be Immediately enacted in order
10 remedy conspicuous evils at the earliest
possible moment.
There is some controversy over the uues-
tton whether the full rate of Dingley duties
should be collected on importations from
the Philippines or only 80 per cent of those
rates as recommended by the Philippine
commission Undoubtedly certain conces-
sions from the Dingley rates would promote
commerce between the Philippines and the
United States and be beneficial to Filipino
interests. but il, with considerations affect
ing home industries in view, Congress
should determine to collect for the present
the full Dingley rates the archipelago would
have no very serious ground of complaint
Matters would. in this event, be replaced In
precisely the same condition In which they
stood before the recent decision OF the

Champ Clark is said to be talking I'M
perialsm' in the remote rural districts Of
Missouri. Mr. Clark should proceed with
caution. Missourians are an unassumng
and fair minded people. They are willing
to be shown things. But they are also posi-
tive in their convictions and are likely to
become indignant if they suspect that they
have been trifed with; that they have been
persuaded to tremble at imperialism
