Democratic.

We find much in the domestic af-
fairs of the nation that ought to be
changed. The tariff policy originally
adopted for the avOwed purpose of
raising revenue to meet the enormous
burdens Of the civil war, has been
turned to the use of individual and
class interests until it has become the
and the shelter Of huge combinations
of capital, organized in the form of
trusts, which are strangling competi-
ton in many of our industries, de-
stroying individual effort, crushing in
dividual effort largely in every line of
industry and already acquiring pow
err which enables them to dictate in
their own interests the prices of labor
and raw material and the cost of
transportation of finished products.
That the republican party as now
organized is powerless to revise the
tariff downward or curb the monstrous
trusts it shelters, is as we believe,
clearly and conclusively shown by the
present attitude of it's national lead
ers.
We affirm the power and declare it
to be the duty of the government to
grapple with all monopolies of this
character, and by laws which can
neither be evaded nor defied, drive
them from every inch of American
soil
We assert that an immediate reduc-
ton of our tariff system to a revenue
basis is one absolutely essential rem
edy for these overshadowing evils,
without which they can never be over
come.
We charge that discrimination in
freights by common carriers is the
handmade of an exhorbitant protective
tariff; in fostering the gigantic trusts
that have become a menace to the
welfare of the masses, and we demand
such changes in our interstate COM
merce act as may be necessary to Sc
cure the speedy punishment by i'm
prisonment of any officer or agent of
corporation engaged in interstate
commerce, who is guilty of such dis
elimination, and the enactment of fur
Their provisions that shall make such
discrimination a ground for prohibit
ing the offending corporation from
transacting the business of interstate
commerce.
We assert that the commencement
of the Philippine war was the fragrant
abuse OF the most noble sentiment of
the American people that led them to
voluntarily assume the onerous bur-
den of foreign war in aid of strug-
Cling race for freedom.
We insist that our steadfast aim
should be to prepare the Philippine
people for self government in the
broadcast sense that term implies, with
a pledge of the honor of the nation
that they shall not be permanently
held in subsection by military force,
and that within a reasonable time they
shall be permitted to determine for
themselves whether they will remain
an integral part of the American re-
public, or become a separate and in
dependent nation by themselves.

Republican.


Resolved by the republicans of
Iowa in convention assembled that we
congratulate the people upon the pros
perity that pervades every part of the
country, stimulating every industry to
the highest degree of activity, creating
an unprecedented demand for labor,
and rapidly advancing the United
States to more commanding position
in the commerce. of the world. The
condition of the country today and it's
progress during the last five years are
a complete answer to the theories and
predictions OF those who opposed the
republican policies at that time, and
afford conclusive argument for the
continuance of the policies and the
administration under which such man
ifest benefits nave been enjoyed.
The Oskaloosa herald. (Oskaloosa, Mahaska County, Iowa) 1885-1919, 1902-09-25

We stand by the historic policy of
the republican party in giving protec-
ton to home industries and point for
it's ample vindication to the extraor-
binary rapidity with which our nation
al resources have been developed and
our industrial and financial independ-
ence secured. We favor such changes
in the tariff from time to time as be-
come advisable through the progress
of our industries and their changing
relations to the commerce of the
world. We endorse the policy of re-
ciprocity and a natural complement of
protection and urge its development as
necessary to realization of our high
est commercial possibilities.

Sundays Sessions.

Sunday was great day for the dele
gates and the ministers who had gath
cred to attend the conference. The
Central NJ. E. church had been turned
over to the use of the conference and
large audiences gathered morning and
afternoon and evening to hear the SER
mons and to be witness to the pro-
ceedings of the day. Large delega-
lions from Muchakinock, Buxton,
Evans, Coalfield, Beacon, New Sharon
and other places neighboring to the
city. These took advantage Of Sun
day trains and spent the day in the
city with their friends in the confer
The pastors of the city churches ex-
tended an invitation to Bishop Grant
to furnish ministers for their pulpits
for the morning services and the in
vitation was accepted and appreciat-
ed. Some excellent discourseS were
listened to by Oskaloosa congrega-
lions Sunday morning. The several
ministers who thus supplied pulpits
proved to be powerful fellows in their
interpretations of the scriptures and
they left excellent lessons and splen-
did impressions.
The seat of the conference was the
NJ. E. church. Bishop Grant delivered
the ordination sermon in the morn
ing. The church was filed with a
large congregation, over one thousand
people being present. After a number
of selections by the choir, Rev. H. H.
Thompson, presiding elder of the St.
Paul district, offered prayer. Rev.
| j. w. Malone of the Iowa district in
troduced the Bishop. Bishop Grant
! announced that the 39th verse of the
25th Chapter of Matthew contained
his text. For unto everyone that
hath shall be given, and he shall have
abundance, but from him that hath
not shall be taken away even that
which he hath" In part the Bishop
said: 1T will be borne in mind by
those familiar with the scriptures that
the words referred to the persons who
had talents" given by the master.
| The story of the talents was here re-
peated and explained in detail. Then
followed the lesson. A large part OF
the world tries to initiate the other
part especially when the question OF
possessions is considered. The Lord
gave to every man that which he could
manage. There are some people who
cannot manage anything, let it be ever
so small. We vary in our abilities &c

man must act and do according to his
ability. Here is where we misjudgt

CANTATA.

At the assembly hall of the Devils
Lake school. on Tuesday evening was
presented the best school entertain
ment yer witnessed in the city. At
an early hour the building was lighted
and preparations began for the even
ing entertainment.
The stage was beautifully decorated
with a back ground of black, trimmed
with tinsel and gold letters. A fire
place was conspicuous as the place
whence the longed for Santa should
arrive.
A chorus of about n hundred
voices, selected from the high school,
eighth and seventh grades composed
the first number.
This was undoubtedly one of the
best heard in the city. The success
SHOWS how carefully they. have been
drilled, and how well the instruction
has been impaired. The members
may we'll he proud Of their work.
The secsnd number showed Mrs.
Santa claus at work preparing dolls.
The dolls we're beautifully costumed
and carried out each part perfectly.
The baby doll, creeping doll, French
doll and Little Lord Fauntleroy were
we'll represented. The walking doll,
Lite Red Riding Hood, dru miner doll
and numbers of others were nrasented
in the very best manner. At one
side a canopy beautifully draped was
filled with everyday dolls who sang
and acted their parts in a sur prisingly
well way. Santa's ,urios ity was
aroused but soon satisfied by two
jacks-in-the-box who won applause
for their natural manner of respond
ing.
The boys and girls chorus was ex-
%ceptionally well sung. Each respond

everyone. The c%oroner's jury re-
turned a verdict of justiiable homi-
eide, and Tyni was given his free
dom. The neighborhood opinion
seems to be that the deceased got
about what he deserved, the wonder
being that he didn't get. it a long
time ago. He was a member of the
Workman and Woodmen lodges and
carried 81, 900 life insurance with each
of the orders. He had just become a

question as to whether his policy wa.
issued before he was killed.

KILLING WAS
UNSUITABLE.
So Says Coroner's Jury With
Reference to the Brocket
Tragedy.

Coroner John Nimmo went to
Brocket last week to hold an inquest
over the, remains of Matt Arvolla,
who was shot and killed by a neighbor
named Tyni. A %coroner's jury com
posed of Chas. Dahlin, D. F. Hum
phreys and Chas. Lathi was empan-
neled. A dozen or more witnesses
were called upon to testify. A sum
mary of the evidence established the
fact that Arvolla attended the land
sale at Devils Lake Monday. Tuesday
he was at Lakota and Wednesday he
started home. When he left Lakota
he was much intoxicated, and when he
reached Brocket he procured more
liquor and started for his farm, four
miles distant. By this time he was
crazed with drink and was like a mad
man. He threatened his family, con
sisting of a wife and several children,
mis- wife's sister and a hired man.
He picked up a chair and commenced
to smash things up. His wife
grabbed the baby and ran for the home
of a neighbor named Tyni. She was
quickly followed by her sister and the
rest of the children. The hired man
interfered at a critical time and saved
n of the children from receiving a
death blow. It was but a short time
after the refugees reached Tyni's place
until Arvolla arrived, demanding ad-
mittance. Tyni, being a much
smaller man than Arvolla and know
ing what q fend he was when under
the influence of liquor, refused to ad-
nit him, whereupon the intruder pro-
cured a club and battered down the
door. When the door gave way Tyni
grabbed a loaded shot gun and fred,
the contents taking effect in Arvolla's
side. Cursing and bowling Arvolla
left and started back home. When
about 80 rods away he fell, where he
was soon discovered by his hired man.
A conveyance was procured and he
was taken to his home and a physician
summoned. He lived until 6 O'Clock
the following morning.
Arvolla had the reputation of being
an honest, Straightforward man when
sober, but when intoxicated he was
very d~isagreeable and was a terror to
