AN APACHE DESPERATE.

The government may have cause to
regret its leniency to Geronimo, the
Apache desperate, who has been kept
under guard for number of years.
There is ntohing about this Indian, or
rather half-breed Mexican, to commend
him to the graces of civilization. He
is famous because he is a ruffian, and
noted because he is fend, vindictive
enemy of the whites. His physiogomy
is brutal in expression. There is not
a redeemlng feature in his entire ca
reer 10 entitle him to favorable consid-
Grafton. AS prisoner he was harm
less and his condition as a human be-
ing was not to be commiserated; he
had plenty to eat and wear; the main
restriction consisted. in keeping him
where he was not able to kill white
man, scalp woman or steal child
The leopard cannot change his spots
nor the Ethiopian his skin Geronimo
is savage and never can be anything
else. His opportunities have been re
stricted while he was prisoner but
so sure as he gains his liberty and is
free to scour the plains and noun
tains of New Mexico and Arizona, sc
sure will the treacherous and Gun
ming old rascal kill somebody.

PRACTICAL PoLITlcs-THE SIXTH
~ CHAPTER TOMORROW.

The sixth article of Mr.. Hinrichsen's
series on Practical Politics, will ap-
pear in the Courier tomorrow. Tie
author has now brought down the
work that ensues after the candidates
are nominated and the platform put
before the people. The student has
been carefully instructed in all the
preliminaries, keeping in touch all the
while with the precinct committee.
The serious work now begins in which
his abilities are to be, well tested as
lie comes in contact with not only his
.co-workers but the adversaries. The
plan of organizing clubs for the cam
paign is taken up in this article, and
some very important suggestions are
given as to the manner in which to
collect campaign funds, to be used for
legitimate purposes. In this connec-
ton it is to be said that in all his sug-
gestions the author is guided by the

SHAW AND OTHER IOWA MEN.

1t has not been many years ago that
Iowa was content to sit at the feet of
such states as New York, Maine, and
other states that had commanding in
fluence at Washington in congress and
with republican administrations, but
that time has passed away and Iowa
assumes the place that is her rightful
one in view of her steadfast adherence
to republicanism and her advance on
all lines of progress. Below is a list
of important places that Iowa will have
when Shaw takes his seat in the cabi-
net:
Secretary of the Treasury-Leslie
NJ. Shaw.
Secretary of Agriculture-James
Wilson.

tatives-David B. Henderson.

Public Lands-John F. Lacey.
Chairman of House Committee or

ment-Robert G. Cousins

Gov. Shaw is the first citizen of Iowa
who has been chosen as secretary O

RLuNpERs OF a eovERNoR.

Governor Savage, of Nebraska, has
pardoned former state treasurer, Jo-
seph S. BARLEY, who was sentenced
four years and six months ago to
twenty years in the penitentiary. Bart
ley was short $550,000, over half a
million, but was convicted on the
single count of embeZzling $201 600.
Governor Savage was bold in the bust
ness; he gave BARLEY parole last
July which was given, he says, be-
cause it was represented that by so
doing it was possible for the paroled
prisoner to make collections of mon
ey which would be restored to the
state. The republicans, however, in
their state convention, demanded his
return to prison and the governor was
forced to recall the parole.
The governor has now released the
convict beyond recall, and beyond the
power Of republican state conventions
| to disturb his actions. He goes into
an extended explanation or series OF
apologies for the embezzling officer
by stating that the money was loaned
| to banks in order to tide them over
difficulties and the money was lost in
I that way.

President Roosevelt will have the
popular sentiment with him in his eff
forts to bring about tariff legislation
favorable to Cuba. Our government
owes this to Cuba! The intention of
the United States and the war that
followed, practically destroyed the
Spanish market upon which the Gu
bans had relied. We can help by
making large concessions in tariff
rates on sugar and tobacco which
will not only aid an infant republic
but will be a boon to citizens of the
United States in the way of obtaining
cheaper sugar and tobacco. The
President seems determined on Sc
curing these results and it will
strengthen his administration and give
it greater prestige if these things are
| accomplished.

GERMANY AND THE MONROE DOC.
Urine.

The action of Germany in sending
blockading fleet to Venezuela and the
announcement from semi-official
sources that German troops will occu-
by certain Venezuelan ports, will pro-
woke unfavorable comment in the Uni
ted States. 1t is, however given forth
that there is an understanding be-
tween the United States and Germany
as to the length the latter may go in
prosecuting that nations claims
against Venezuela, and this will allay
undue excitement until further devel-
opments.
President Roosevelt, in his message,
committed himself to an unreserved
endorsement of the MeAroe Doctrine,
which in brief is, that this government
will not tolerate the establishment Of
monarchy in either North or South
America through the aid of any for
eign nation. This doctrine, however,
does not forbid the arbitration of arms
in settlement of difficulties that may
arise between the South American re-
publics and European nations. In 9TH
er words, this government does not I'M
dertake to defend the South American
countries in war, whether right OF
wrong in their contentious, but it does
propose to interfere in case of wal
that may result disastrously to South
American republic and prevent any
cession of territory to monarchy. The
} German government understands this
and will proceed with the full know
ledge that the American government
will enforce it's policy to the letter
The only difficulty that presents itsel
now for consideration is the length Of
time that German occupation will be
limited to. The country, however, ha.
full confidence that President Roose
welt will see that there is no violation
of the letter or spirit of the Monroe
Doctrine, and will demonstrate to the
world that he is master of the situa
ton.

AS TO INSANITY.

j. Wallace Miller, editor of the Cay
uga Qndiana) Herald, startled his
readers by publishing an insane edi-
ftorial. He has since become violent
and will be sent to a hospital His in
sanity is due to intense interest in
church affairs.
He said in his editorial: Nothing is
everything. Everything is nothing
am nothing. l am everything. l am
God. God is nothing
The poor fellow is no doubt insane
but his deliverances are not much
worse than those of some of the trans
cendental philosophers who talk with
such freedom about the Infinite and
their relations with the Diety. They as.
sert that as God is everywhere and in
everything that they constitute a part
of God, and so on ad infinitum. The
moment that man or woman departs
from the plain teachings Of the Scrip.
lures, that moment he is in danger oi
being led off into errors of all kinds
This does not imply that the ipdivid
ual is not at liberty to use his owr
powers of reason in interpreting the
scriptures, or that he should accept
the Bible as inspired in every word
and punctuation mark, but it does
mean that there are many yagafies il
modern scripture Interpretation which
in our judgment have but slight foun
dalton on which to stand.

humiliating position as the apologist
of a convicted embezzler but he has
done more than this. He has taught
the youth of Nebraska that embezzl-
ing for a friend is not so much Of a
crime but that it can be condoned. 1t
is not a lesson that is healthful to
public morals.
1t is gratifying, however, to realize
that the republican party of Nebraska
does not endorse such teaching.

1t is stated that unless {

1t is stated that unless congress
makes an appropriation for the pur-
pose, President Roosevelt will not
send army or naval officers to King
Edwards coronation. And why
should congress make such an appro
priation? The British government
does not send special representatives
to witness the Inauguration of our
Presidents The cost would be use
less expenditure of money and beside,
an American would be out of place in
the midst of all the glitter and non
sense of a royal function that is not
in line with the day and age in which
we live, but rather belongs to the past
centuries. The English nation itself
has outgrown the rubbish that still
fingers to and clusters around the
crown and the scepter.

A REMINDER.

The position of President Roosevelt
in regard to the troubles between Ger
many and Venezuela may be well I'M
derstood by carefully reading one sen
tence from his message, which is as
follows:
1--WE do not guarantee any state
against punishment if it misconduct
itself, provided that punishment does
not take form of acquisition of terri
tory by any non-American power.
Volumes could not express more.

The election in Cuba for president
passed off quietly, The only evidence
of hostility between the political par
ties that has been reported to date, is
that which occurred in regard to the
length of procession in favor of Sc
nor Palma and the number Of persons
marching in that outfit. The Palma
party claim that there were $4,000 men
marching for Palma, on the other
hand, the Maseo party declares it to
be a villianous lie, intended to over
awe the opposing candidates. This
little disagreement however, should
not be looked upon as entirely to be de-
plored. 1t rather prompts the belief
that our wards have taken to the
American plan. 1t is the inalienable
right of a partisan voter in the United
States to let his imagination riot as
he gazes upon demonstration made
by his own party, and telegraph its
magnitude to anyone who chooses tc
print his observations

Such as comes7to market is in small
quantities. One lot Of 500 bushels of
old corn brought rs cents. There is
very general opinion that grain will
