AS TO The COURIER.

When the Ottumwa Courier came out
With a frank admission that Governor
Cummins' endorsement of last year
republican platform ought to silence all
opposition in this years convention the
T,-R. wished to commend the fairness
NJ its position without trying to repre-
ant that the Courier had come over to
nv existing faction. The Courier one
sear ago was an anti-Cummins paper,
out with the result at Cedar Rapids the
Courier buried all animosities and
thereafter knew no Cummins nor anti
.Cummins factions. For this the T.-R.
admired it and tried to emulate its eX-
ample. Nearly u year passed without
line appearing in the T.-Rs columns
which would embitter defeat rcontlnue
IN antaronize those who lost the conven-
ton fight at Cedar Rapids. But when
trio of self seeking editors conspired to
misrepresent Governor Cummins before
the republicans of Iowa by the cheap
trick of partial quotation long desplsed
in the profession. the T.-R. went after
these factionalists in its usual blunt
and vigorous manner. We We're pleased,
however, to see that the Courier could
be fair even to the man whom it had
opposed in convention and our refer
ence was intended to cite an example of
honest journalism.

REMOVAL OF FRlARs.

II IA probable that in the negotia-
tons of our government with the Vati-
can at Rome for the removal of the
friars from the Philippines a compro-
misc may be necessary. The Catholic
church is extremely reluctant about
granting it, despite the fact that these
r,iars are odious to the Catholic people
or the islands who have hitherto yielded

THE WORK OF LIGHTNING.

The damage done by lightning in
Iowa this year will run into many thou
sends of dollars Scarcely an exchange
is picked up that does not record one or
more lightning strokes in the locality
where it is published. Many OF these
papers report singular results as the
electric streak coursed its way thru Il
building Cattle and horses and other
stock in fields and barns have suffered,
many fatalities being reported from
various quarters of the state. 1t is note
worthy, however. that very few people
have been killed, strange as 1T may
seem. Many have been shocked or in
jured, but the fatalities have been
fewer than fears warranted. To hosts

of older years the scene is inspiring,
tho the number may be few.
There is no royal road to safety In
such an experience. lightning fous
were once considered indispensable as
a safeguard, and rod agents were nu-
merous upon the road: but of late years
less reliance is placed upon them. As
against these is the theory that rods
draw the lightning. Whether this is
true or not very few modern houses are
provided with them.
While the fear of lightning may be

ties in such cases ought to be reassur-

scarcely conscious of the stroke. With

LOOKING FOR A LEADER.

The withdrawal of Representative j.
n w Rumble as "a candidate for con-
rress in the Second Iowa district, be-
cause of severe illness, has started
: Interrogation points all over the district
as to who shall be his successor. NOT
only one candidate, but two. are re-
CURED to fill the demand, as the
democrats have not settled upon lead
the republicans.
The district is a close one, as Captain
Rumple was elected to the Fifty
seventh congress by II plurality of l,465
IN a total vote of 46,040, Henry Nollmer,
the democratic candidate at that time
receiving 21.737 votes. Still, the district
has been regarded as safely republican
this year, and with a strong and popu-
lar man the republican vote would be
increased, as it doubtless would had
Eumple consented to run. his renom1-
nation having been considered as GER
tain.
From a state point of view at least
!. nc one stands up luminously as con-
spicuous republican leader in the Sec
:. end district and as one likely to be Sc
lected, tho there are many excellent
men who would fill the place acceptably
to the people.
Discussing the probabilities in the
district the Clinton Herald says:
.whiie no candidate has been an
rounced, number of names have been
mentioned. In this county the names
OF DR.. G. A. Smith, Attorney r. $.
James and Attorney +. w. Ellis are
mentioned as possible candidates. In
Scott county the names of w. h. VIII
son and C. A. Ficke are suggested, While
Muscatine county may present William
L. Roach, altho it is thought Mr.. Roach
will not accept the nomination for busi-
ness reasons. Jackson county will un-
coubtedly present the name OF Attor-
ney w. C. Gregory. According TO re-
ports from all parts of the district there
Is a strong desire that George M. Cur
tbs. of this city, become candidate. Mr..
Curtis is out of the city and has not
teen heard from on the situation altho
IL is generally understood he would not
accept the nomination."

who is regarded as a strong man, has
declined to be considered candidate
AS it is not apparent upon the sur
face that factional strife divides the re-
publicans of the Second district 1t
seems probable that they will get to-
gether and select the best man Tor the
position, and elect him.

had also washed out. This train. and
crew stayed there from Tuesday morn

to stop and repair the bridges before
