SIGNS OF LIFE APPEAR.
IRegisfar and Leader ]

None of the arguments used in these
columns in favor of tariff notifications
or reciprocity are new in republican
circles. But whenever they are used it
is always said by somebody that the
person using them is tinctured with
free trade that they are used to un-
dernine the policy Of protection, etc.
They said 1T of Garfield, they said it of
Blaine and would have said it Of Nc
Kinley had he not been removed from
the scene Immediately following his de-
fence Of reciprocity at Buffalo. We are
of the opinion, however, that the pro-
tectionism of Hamilton, Clay, Grant,
Garfield, Arthur, Blaine and Mckinley
is good enough for the voters of Iowa,
There are men who always take pride
in holding the extreme view, of being
"uncompromising" and at the farthest
possible remove from the other political
party. Indeed there are people In both
parties who know so little about the
real differences between them that their
only security is in keeping as far as
possible from the other fellows. Oc-
casionally such men are found making
speeches or editing newspapers, when
their proper field for party service is
beating a bass drum

"a number of exchanges, not many, but
few, which regard that man Albert B.
Cummins as a bad citizen. He is dis
tressing the minds of the conservative
editors to an alarming extent and If he
does not soon let UP they will say some
real mean things about him. Who would
have thought that the meek man occu-
lrying the governors chair at Des

singular how those editors 'concede' his
nomination and election for second
term! Why 'concede' such horrible
thing? If he is going to disgrace the
state and the people it is wrong to con-
cede him anything"

means of treaties of reciprocity, and,

If it Were systematically planned to

| lie contempt ii would be difficult to inn
prove upon the method pursued by the
"standpatters.'' Among the voting
masses party ties do not bind with any
degree of certainty. There is a con-
siderable number who vote the ticket
as they provide for their families from
an unfailing attachment and high
sense of duty, but this number is now
comparatively small. In order to insure
party supremacy it is absolutely neces-
sary to appal to the judgment of the
individual voter and be able to justify
any party policy by the logic of COM
mon experience and common sense. The
communities of New England may be
politically organized on the basis OF
trade prohibition. The pressure of the
immediate home market may hold fast
to party mornings farmer, mechanic
and miner in other states of the east.
But on the open prairies of the middle
west, where the great political battles
of the twentieth century are to be
fought, the voters will have to be
shown.
All this territory has strong republic
can leanings. Its average citizen kept
step to the music of the union in "the
times that tried mems souls" He I'M
derstands the wonderful inspiration
which gave existence to the republican
party. He is by no means unmindful
of its splendid achievements during the
half century intervening. He regards
with admiration and confidence the lat
ter day virility of republican leader
ship. These facts have served to keep
him In the republican party most of the
time, but out of his very affection is
born spirit of exaction. For the dem
ocratic party and ode-stunt political
attractions he has no abiding regard.
OF them he expects all sorts of incon-
sistency, so he is merely amused by the
fantastic tricks in the opposition main
tent or among the side shows. But he
Is otherwise impressed by republican
lapses It provokes his resentment to
see the party of his preference en-
deavor to bag political game thru the
use of decoys. His perception is acute
and his Judgment alert. No congress-
man at Washington, no state leader or
local boss can fool him much of the
time.
This average citizen Of the middle
west is protectionist. He has seldom
been disturbed by the illusory vapor-
ings of free trade philosophy, He un-
derstood the force of the proposition
that in order to firmly establish Amer
lean manufactures the home market
must be reserved for our home indus
sries. He believed the republican lead

In Boston the Wholesale merchandise

however, activity has been the rule, the
holiday traffic having been unusually
heavy, exceeding in general the ex-
lpectations of merchants. Many de-
partments have run short of goods to
supply the demand. From reports re-
ceived the holiday trade has been the
largest in years. the coal famine and
other disturbances having no deleter-
ious effect.
] Philadelphia reports that conditions
in the anthracite coal trade remain
practically as heretofore, in that the
demand still continues largely in ex-
cess of the supply, tho producing COM
panies are endeavoring to overcome the
deficiency, but curtailment of stocks
and bad weather combined make a
large shortage in usual supply. 1t is

and with few exceptions the jobbers
report favorable prospects for spring
trade.
New Orleans jobbers and manufac-
turers report trade as being rather
quiet and the movement of merchan-
disc moderate. Retailers in all lines,
and especially those handling holiday
goods say the volume of business IS
the largest that they have had for
years.

has been heavy. Country merchants
have added to their orders for spring

increased over the same week of last

ports of commercial agents indicate
most satisfactory condition in country
districts. Manufacturing establish
ments and steam plants are well sup
piled with coal other than anthracite.
In the absence of the latter there has
been a special demand for Arkansas
coal for domestic consumption The
demand has been fairly well supplied.
Country produce is almost entirely in

According to adviees from San Fran

Big Holiday Ira de.

Holiday trade In every quarter of the
metropolis has broken the records. I'm
counted hosts of buyers and sellers
have been busy, with satisfaction or
both sides, and from all points of the
compass swarms have been fiocking te
this center of prosperity. Visitors have
been so numerous that the hotels have
been trimming over and the trans por-
tation lines overtaxed to an extent
never seen before. But the good tenn
per and amiability of the hurryine
crowds have been inexhaustible. This
is indisputably an exceptionally merry
holiday season, the crown and climax
of fruitful and productive year.

MURDER IN CHICAGO.
Dead Body of Woman Found I'm Dis
reputable Locality-SUS-)
pect Arrested.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-With finger
marks on her throat and her body COW
cred with bruises, young woman
was found dead in an alley in dis
trict known to the police as Little
He'll" Friday night. Her mouth was
contorted, and the appearance of her
remains gave evidence that she had
yielded up her life only after des-
perate struggle. From a man locked
up in the East Chicago Avenue station,
pending an investigation of the case,
the police learned that the woman
was a Mrs. Hulda Swanson, who lived
in Milton avenue.
The grewsome discovery was made
by James Murphy, n teamster living
in Gault court. He was walking in
Kingsbury street, and passed into
the alley between Superior street
and Chicago avenue. He had gone
but 25 feet east in the alley, he says,
when he stumbled over the form of
woman. She was lying face down
wards in pool of water, and MUIR
ply, after satisfying himself that she
was dead, summoned the police.
The remains were removed to Rob-
erts' undertaking establishment, 1879
East Chicago avenue, and hastily ex-
amined. The woman was apparently
81 or 20 years old and handsome.
The remains were covered with
marks which indicated the torture
she had endured preceding her death.
Murphy told his story readily to
the police, but was held in custody.
An hour after the grewsome find,
John Herrity, assistant bridge tend
or at the Erie street bridge, was
brought to the morgue to view the
remains. Herrity at once recognized
the woman as Hulda Swanson.

sin pursuance of authority con-
tanned in section $500 of the revised

DOING NICELY.
Presidents Condition Continues to
show n Gratifying Inn
prOyement.

Washington, Sept. 26.-Dr. Lung
remained at the white house through
out the day. At 4 o'clock Surgeon
General Rixey came over from the
navy department, and after he had
seen the president it was announced
that President Roosevelt had passed
comfortable day with no appreci.
able change in his condition. The
slight rise in temperature noted dur
ing the night had disappeared. The
doctors say that the president will
be confined to his room a week OF
ten days, with two weeks as the out.
side limit.
The president was resting very COM
fortably when his physicians called to
see him in the evening. He is comply.
ing strictly with their injunctions to
give his injured leg complete rest, and
good results are apparent already. In
view of the satisfactory Improvement
in the presidents condition. no pre-
pared statement was made. Secretary
Cortelyou simply saying. when he
left the temporary white house at ten
o'clock for the evening, that Mr..
Roosevelt was doing nicely. DR.. Lung.
the presidents regular physician, had
left the house an hour earlier.
There was a slight rise in the presi.
dents temperature Thursday night
after he reached the temporary white
house. This was. attributable to the
excitement incident to his removal
from the train and was regarded as
entirely natural in the circumstances.
The president is in excellent spirits,
but has acquiesced in the decision of
his physicians for absolute repose.
The announcement is made that he
will see no visitors, save the members
of his cabinet, and then only upon the
most important business.
