Iowa and Its Inebriates.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Iowa is
certainly proceeding along somewhat
unusual, if not original lines, in taking
care of its professional drunkards,
The state is, undoubtedly right in re-
garding drunkenness as disease, al
lied to insanity itself. Whether the
method of treating them at the state
asylums for the insane will result in
permanent cures for any considerable
number of patients remains to be DEM
onstrated. In the meantime the law
seems to afford relief to many COM
munities and many families, which
have been compelled to put up with
the carousals and disturbances caused
by these men. If the method of treat
ment is not going to result in cures,
then the state law under which inebri-
ates are being taken to the hospitals
for the insane will be more or less
onerous and burdensome to the people.
If no. cures are effected the keeping
of the inebriates at q hospital will be
simply useless expense, for the vic
Tins of the alcohol habit will even
tually drift back into the communities
from which they were taken. The tenn
porary relief is hardly compensation
enough for the expenditure on the part
of the state.

Farmers are the fellows who are
making the money now. With eggs
at two cents apiece, with chickens at
ten cents pound, with butter at 80
cents and beef at five cents on foot
there is money in running a poultry
and dairy farm, according to the cap
ital and labor employed, more than
in running newspaper, a store or q
bank. 1t is all right. We are glad
to see the farmers make money. We
are glad to see them getting a good
price for everything they produce. For
hayn't they often raised all the things
on farm and sold them at low prices?

Senator Vest, of Missouri, thinks
that the presidential campaign, only
two years off now, will be fought out
on the question of controlling the
trusts by a revision of the tariff. He
may be right. In 1896 nearly all be-
lieved up to the spring conventions
that the campaign would be over the
tariff when presto, change, and the
fight was on over the silver question.
But such quick changes in paramount
issues are uncommon and the chances
are the old senator from Missouri is
nearly right. The republican party,
under the careful counsel of such men
as Allison and the older leaders, has
nothing to fear from contest over
tariff and trusts.

There are some folks down at
Indianola, Mississippi, who may run
against something if they keep on pro-
voking the managers of the post Office
a.. An educated negro
woman who has been post mistress for
several years, was forced to send in
her resignation. No charge is made
against the post mistress except that
she has negro blood. The department
has refused to accept the resignation,
but the office is temporarily closed and
all mail directed there is sent to a
neighboring town. Mississippi may
go democratic if such a subject is
stirred up.

The Rite of the Sea Lion.


The bite of the sea lion Is poisonous;
besides, 1t is an ugly wound from the
manner in which it is inflicted. AL
though the creature moves painfully
and slowly on land, the motion of its
head and neck is extremely quick. The
neck seems to have an almost elastic
quality. One is surprised at its reach.
The sea lion is like a bulldog. When
he has caught hold, he does not let go
at once, but sets his teeth firmly in the
flesh. Then he twists his head, the
teeth being still embedded in the flesh,
and, without relinquishing his grip, he
gives a quick jerk. The result Is to
pull out a ragged piece of flesh il the
animal has taken deep hold.-Leslies

the Medieval Artists.
The medieval artists, having 10 idea
OF the personal appearance of the Saw
tours followers, adopted set of signs,
or emblems, for each, which soon be
came familiar TO all. The emblem OF
Peter was either n large key or two
keys crossed, which Is readily explain
ell by referring to the words of Christ
(Matthew xvi, l9y, And will give I'M
to thee the keys of the kingdom OF
heaven" The emblem of Paul was a
sword and book-the latter to remind
the beholder that he was a teacher Of
men, the former to indicate that he was
beheaded with sword. st. Andrew
was usually figured standing by cross
shaped like letter Y, that being tho
form of the cross upon which legend
says he was crucihed. The emblem OF
referring to the fact that he was also
beheaded, or a pilgrims staff. he being
a great traveller.

Speaking of the recent speeches Of
Gov. Cummins and Senator Allison
at the Travelling Mems Banquet al
Dubuque the Sioux City Journal says
of these two leaders:
1t will not do to make hasty con-
clusion that the governor and the
senator are far apart in their de-
sires or in their conclusions con-
corning things right and wrong.
1t may do to say that the senator
has less impulsiveness than the
governor, and that he weighs with
more elaboration and care related
conditions. The senator is patient
with the doctrine of evolution, and
the governor in his zeal finds
twitching toward the doctrine of
revolution. The governor would
go with bound; the senator is
content to know that the world is
better this year than it was last
year, and that the men of it are
better today than they We're yester-
day. That there Is room for both
Senator Allison and Governor
Cummins it were folly to dispute,
and it is within reason to admit
that between them they represent
the thought, the impelling and re-
straining forces, the progress and
living hope of our country in the
competition of the world.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson,
who is perhaps better posted on the
resources of the United States for the
production of beet sugar than any
other man, predicts that the time is
not many years distant when we will
be making all the beet sugar we need
and producing it at half what we pay
for it now. That prediction based on
his knowledge, is having some effect
on the pending Cuban treaty.

1t is said that the making of marbles
SO dear to the heart Of the small boy, is
the main support of the poor in the
state of Thuringia, Germany. They
gather small square stones and grind
them in machines similar to coffee mills
until they are rounded. "Commies,"
agates and "bullseyes' are made in
that way.
Glass alleys with the yaricolored
streaks in them are blown by the glass

Last winter the writer rode across
New Mexico from the northeast part
to the center of the south line, and
could not see as many people in the
whole trip, or as many buildings, as
in our little town of Audubon any day.
There is more open out doors, poor
soil, rock, sand, desert, catcus, hot
wind and broiling sun than any half
dozen states, with but little chance to
earn livelihood, hence few people
go there except to see or for health.
The atmosphere is good. 1t is not
much fitted for state. 1t surely
ought not to have an equal represen-
tation with Iowa, or with New York

INDIANA COAL FIELDS
CONTINUE IN PROSPERITY
Facts That Will Be Contained I'm State
Mine Inspector Epperson's An
nual Report for 1908.

State Mine Inspector Epperson is at work
on his report for 1903 and says it will con-
tinue TO show activity and prosperity in the
coal fields. 'Never In the history of the
State says the inspector, was capital
so eager for investment In coal lands as
during the last year. Greene and Sullivan
counties. being comparatively new fields and
having large amount of undeveloped coal
property. have received the most attention
from purchasers and large sums of money
have been invested in these counties. Last
year there was purchased 34066 acres Of
coal land. A considerable part of this land
is undertake with two or three seams, a
compilation OF which shows a total area
OF 56,224 acres of coal, averaging five feet
four inches thick; calculating each cubic
yard of coal to weigh ton and allowing
20 per cent. for coal lost by being left in
the mines for pillars and on account of
falls, bad top and other causes. the field of
coal purchased in 1902 will last for over fif-
~ years basing the estimate on the output
and sales of 1901. Pick miners to the num-
Der of 923 were displaced last year by min
ing machines: that Is TO say 923 more men
would have been required to mine the
amount OF coal produced last year IL no
mining machines had been In use. There
was a decrease IN the production OF block
coal during the year of 72,2i2 tons. This
was due almost entirely TO the fact that a
greater number OF the good producing mines
new ones opened. There were 1919 mine
workers employed during the year. making
the greatest number ever employed in any
one year.

MORE ABOUT LYNCHEHAUN
1T Is REPORTED THAT AN IMMI-
GRANT INSPECTOR is ON THE WAY.
According to the Story, Secretary OF
Commerce Cortelyou Has Ordered
Apprehension of the Refugee.

There are further indications that there
is still trouble in store for James Lynche-
haun. the Irish refugee now in this city. A
Washington dispatch received last night
said:
1T is reported here that Secretary Cor
telyou, of the Department of Commerce,
has detailed an immigrant inspector to pro-
coed to Indiana and take Lynchehaun into
custody. No confirmation of this report can
be secured at the department. Orders have
been issued by Secretary Cortelyou prohib-
iting any official from discussing the case.
AS far as can be learned an immigrant in
spector has been ordered to Indianapolis,
and he has probably reached there by this
time with instructions to apprehend
Lynchehaun and take him to New York.
THE commissioner of immigration re-
ported to Secretary Cortelyou some time
ago that he could secure no information
which would justify him in recommending
the deportation of Lynchehaun. Since then,
ii is understood, the immigration authori-
ties have gone into the matter further.
1t is assumed by those who have been
watching the case that Secretary Cortelyou
has obtained evidence which prompts him
to have Lynchehaun examined by the i'm
migration authorities"
United States District Attorney Joseph
3. Healing said last night that to his
knowledge no immigrant inspector had yet
reached Indianapolis. He thought he would
know If such was the case. United States
Marshal Henry G.. Petit is out of the city,
having gone to Fort Leavenworth with a
batch of federal prisoners.
