SHA WILING THE TREASURY
Hon. Leslie NJ. Shaw of Iowa, secre-
tary of the treasury, has given some
of the employees of his department a
nervous shock. He has said that the
people who work for the government
over whom he has jurisdiction must
pay they debts or at least make an
honest effort to do so. In this the OF
tumwa Courier says Secretary Shaw is
right and adds, mo man who will not
endeavor to settle his accounts, be he
an employe of the government or of a
firm, individual or corporation is safe.
This is a maxim in the business world.
The treasury department is a part of
the largest business in the world. AS
necessity demands and time permits
the man from Iowa is putting into
practice business methods into his
branch of the government service. He
is doing things. He knows how. He
began to learn away back in Vermont
in his boyhood days. 1t grew into a
habit when he reached Iowa. 1t be-
came so firmly entrenched that it
made him secretary of the treasury.
The influences that surround him must
be Shawized just as steel is given a
coating of silver. He could not live
and draw a satisfied breath if all
things about him did not ring true.
Shawizing the treasury department
may not be pleasant for those who re-
ceive the treatment but it is right"

What promised to be thousand
mile boat race, ending in an armed col
lision between Americans and Japan
ese on a little islet In mid-Pacific, and
followed by international diplomatic
doings, has seemingly been spoiled by
the neglect of YANKEE skipper to OBJ
serve the law. Marcus Island, bit of
rock above water some where between
Hawaii and Japan was discovered in
1864, by the captain Of an American
missionary bark, who had no use, how
ever, for inhabitateu Islands. and who
made no landing. In 1899 Captain An
drew A. Rosehili, the skipper mention
ed above sighted the isle, landed,
found it rich in guano deposits, nailed
the American flag to cocoanut tree,
and placed his claim in bottle in a
tree. If the captain had only met the
requirement of the law by filing
bond of O,000 as security for his OBJ
servance of the guano laws, and had
returned within year as he intended,
he might be master O. Marcus Island

possession, although the law describes
occupation as actual, continuous and
useful possession At some time dur
ing the intervening thirteen years the
Japanese took possession and are now
said to be working the guano beds.
The United States government cannot
support the claim of Captain Rosehill
under the terms of the existing law,
and it is said that the Japanese war
ship carried letter from Minister
Busch instructing Captain Rosehill by
order of the state department to COM
init no overt act that might cause in
ternational complications. 1t appears
therefore that the unlucky American
sailor who delayed too long to secure
his prize will have to submit as grace
fully as possible and await the de-
cision of court arbitration"
Captain Rosehill is described as

hero of one of Beck's sea stories. Re

of the earth. In the very nature Of
Lhings, If they had been let alone, the
race would have been overwhelmed
and absorbed in course of time. But
the war which wasted their country,
destroyed their homes, broke their po-
litical independence and nearly deci-
mated their numbers, has given to the
race new and probably permanent
lease of life. 1t has emphasized their
nationality and established them as a
special people in the worlds respect,
secured for them under the strongest
guarantees self-government with the
perpetuation of conditions calculated
to preserve their laws and language,
with such provision in ready money
for the restoration of their homes and
farms as will enable them to replace
an antiquated and outworn system
with one better suited to this age and
to the progress of their country. No
other country ever found itself pos
sessed through defeat of such strik-
ing advantages. No other race ever
so established its character and secur-
ed fixed and honorable status in the

BROAD As THE NATION.

1t rests with the miners of the Sixth
district whether John P. Reese or Jno.
F. Lacey represents them in congress
the next time. Reese, the democratic
nominee is state president of the min
ers' union, and man in every respect
more fitted to represent them than the
present republican politician who has
misrepresented the district for years.
Boone Democrat.
Such rot as the above" says the
Montezuma Republican, "is quite COM
mon in democratic papers these days.
There is not miner In Poweshiek
county. The democrats propose to
elect a man to congress who has but
one idea and one motive to guide his
actions. 1t is not claimed that Mr..
Reese, only 26 years Of age, has any
other distinguishing mark than that of
walking delegate" among the coal
miners. What is needed Is a man as
broad as the nation and one whose
prominence and fidelity in the past
has been such as to merit the appro-
baton of all classes-miners, farmers
business and professional men. Such
is Congressman Lacey. He will be
elected by the largest majority ever
given congressman In the district

when he, was an infant and settled first
in Philadelphia. IN 1852 they came to
Iowa, to Muscatine county. The young
Hoffman passed his younger days, go
ing to school and to the Grand View
academy and acquiring an unusually
good education for one of his years
At IL he left school to enter the army.
He enlisted in company G of the Nine
teenth Iowa in 1862 and served through
the war. He was discharged in 1868,
having been in all the battles in which
his regiment engaged and carrying
with him three bullet wounds. All
these wounds were sustained in sim
gle action, in the charge Of his regi-
ment at Prairie Grove. There Mr.. Hof-
man was struck on the head by mimic
ball, in the right leg by buckshot
and in the neck by another buckshos.
Such is the modesty Of the man that
few but his most intimate friends
know of his scars and he tells OF re-
ceiving them only when asked. He
has he reputation with attorneys OF
being hard worker on his cases and
indefatigable in research. He speaks
both German and English, and as he
has made no political enemies in the
past, he is expected to roll up an un-
precedentedly large republican vote in
his own county, as well as in the Sec
ond district.

tives to be chosen this wear Tbev
want to know ii the republicans In
that event, would revise the tariff IN
the coming short session-the session
which lasts from December Of this
year to March of next year. Appar-
entity they think that Democratic vic.
tory this year would frighten the re-
publicans to such an extent that thew
would rush at the tariff next winter
and overhaul 1t from one end to the
other.
"But in this they are mistaken .
says writer in the st. Louis GIoba-
Democrat. There will be no tariff re-
vision this winter whether the re,ub-
licans win or lose in the approaching
canvass. There will be no tariff re-
vision by the congress which will he
elected this year If the congress should
be republican, as 1t very likely will be.
There will be no tariff legislation until
after the election of 1904. If the re-
publicans win in that year, and they
probably will, the president who is
elected then may call an extra session
of the congress which will come into
legal existence on March 4, 1905. lust
as the president elected in 1896 called
into extra session the congress chosen
with him, which congress enacted the
Dingley tariff. But it is not certain
that this will be done.
The tariff will not be touched until
after the presidential election. Tariff
changes cause disturbance in almost
all sorts of trade. 1t is to the interest
of the republican party and the coun-
try to have tariff changes come sell
dom. The republicans will take espe-
cial pains hereafter to have these
changes come just as long as possible
before an important election. If Presi-
dent Mckinley had waited to let the
congress chosen in 1896 do its tariff
revising in the regular session the
chances are that the bill would not
have reached him until the summer Of
1898, few months before the congress
sional election in which case, notwith-
standing the successful war which had
just ben waged, the republicans might
have got setback. Tariff tinkering is
perilous business. 1t has to be done
every few years, but the longer 1t is
done before an election the less will
be the injury to the party doing it. The
present tariff will serve until after the
canvass of 1904, at least.

Eblen vs.. William Ryan, and is dated
March 4, 1864. In setting up grounds
for the petition Lne following state
ments appear: "The plaintiff repre-
sents that prior to coming to Mahaska
she resided in Inulana with her hus-
band, John Eblen. That for many
years they had heard of country
west Of the Mississippi river that the
land was said to be as beautiful as
Caanan, that its climate was healthful
and that the people seldom If ever
died there; that its natural meadows
bloomed as the roses of Sharon and
waxed green as the plains OF Mamria.
To this country they emigrated in the
spring of 1862 and finally settled on
the head waters of Middle Creek in
Mahaska county, iowa"

very good statements concerning this
country in which we live, but the Eb-
len petition is few ahead of them up
to this date.

The liquor dealers of Iowa are
preparing to spend quarter of a
million dollars to have the mulct law
repealed or modified. The Prohibi-
tionists in state convention demand
ed the repeal of the law at once.
Anything that suits neither extreme
is generally a pretty good thing for
the ordinary middleman, and we be-
lieve it would be as well to leave the
law Just as it is until something bet
ter is enacted. A strict enforcement
of the present law would make it
more popular.

1.-THE WISE eUY.n

The latest contribution to the school
of absurdity comes from President
Hall of Clark University, who says:
Boys and girls need slang. It's good
for them. Let them use it. Slang aids
the boy or girl of from IA to 10 years
of age to acquire fiuency." AS is usual
in the case of such learned utterances
the response to this one from the
press and the people of the country
was quick and to the point. That OF
the Baltimore American seems to GOV.
er the case most fittingly. 1t is as fol.
lows:
Aw! Cheese the cultured layout;
Cut the brainy talk.
This wise guy has it coppered,
And he wins in walk.
Get on to education
You'll nab it in a bunch,
Il you're like old Columbus,
Who was the duck that figured
Ana you follow up your hunch.
This lot of gramar dope?
Oh, pass him up. He's nutty,
What us kids need is rope.
We're next to all the gabble-
But when we're due to balk
Is when the teacher orders
A first-class string of talk :.
That gazabo-that Euclid
He rubs against my nerves
With all his razzle-dazzle
On getting on to curves,
And history? Say fellows,
1t jolts me up lot
To read how some old has-been
Was Johnny-on-the-spot.
Say, this slang education
Will cop out all the trade.

a copy of the Evening Echo of that
city. 1t is paper just about the
size of the EVENING HERALD and is
printed on pink paper. Six of the
eight columns on the first page are a
solid mass of ofadvertisements, and the
proportion holds good on the other
pages. If Cork could just be trans
ported to America we would like to
own the Echo. There must be money
in it, as there is little else.

The board of control has wisely
determined to make the transfer OF
patients to the Cherokee hospital
secretly, so far as possible. The
board will accordingly not make pub
lie the time OF the transfer of the
patients, and will divulge nothing as
to the date of the change until after
the patients are safe at Cherokee,
The reason for this is the desire OF
the board to avoid subjecting the in
mates to any more publicity than
necessary.
