DOLLIVER'S BECOMING POSITION.
[Sioux City Journal.l
The spectacle of SO new a man in the
United States senate as Mr.. Dolliver
rising to his feet and scolding, actually
berating, the members of that body,
many of whom were In public life at the
time when the junior lowe senator wore
pantalettes, for the failure to adopt
treaties of the utmost significance to
the bushes interests of the country,
some thing for good and some for IL,
must have been one of inspiration to
the men of real influence in the senate
Observation-Disclosures Press.
Oh. now, come off. What is Dolliver
there for, anyway? The presumption is
that he is there with the certificate OF
his state to take part in what is going
on and to represent as he is best able
his opinions and the policies approved
by his people. Senator Dolliver has not
been forward in the senate. For a real
orator he has been modest and retiring.
If that is to his credit the Press should
set it forth. 1t is safe to say. at any
rate, that his people at home want him
to stand on his own feet and not on the
feet of another. If he has shown ability
to do this he has given some evidence
that he is representing Iowa without
the direct aid of any other state. The
young senator can learn much from the
old heads, but he will not be unpopular
Oh subject to gibe and reproof among
them because he thinks for himself and
has parliamentary language at his dis
posal to clOthe in becoming fashion
what he has to say.

that these c~onfounded tax ferrets made
copious memoranda of all his sales and

This tax ferret business requires
more or less capital to work it. One
firm in one county paid out for neces-
sary expenses over $4,000 before a cent
was paid in. But as they discovered
over $4,000 of unpaid taxes in that
county. and received over $4,000 as their
share, it finally paid for the venture.
In some counties, strange to relate.

THE DELAWARE STRUGGLE.

The people Of the nation are hoping
ware may be broken end that a credita-
BILE delegation may be sent to the upper
chamber. Many outside republicans are
inclined to think the members of the
party in Delaware can not do better
han to accept the recent offer of the
democratic members of the legislature
TO join them in sending a democrat and
IN anti-Addicks republican to the SEN
ate. The latest account OF the situation
u that five republicans are ready to
accept the proposed arrangement by
which an anti-Addicks republican may
be elected for the logger of the unex-
pired terms and a democrat for the
shorter, and consequently that only n
more consent is needed to make 1T eff
~Iective. If that is true the pressure
must be very strong, and it seems more
likely to become irresistible than to re-
lax.
AddlckS mas entered the contest WIFI

dicks or nobody and az a spokesman he

publicans have offered to be fair by

rut all the ground out from under the
spokesman. who does not now appear to
have any nance for success.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

In noticing that eighteen boys and
Sioux City have served notice on their
teachers that they must have longer re-
cesses or they will striks, the Keokuk
Gate City suggests that "if the principal
of that school meets the situation as it
on his w account. and do it first. A
thorough spanking is clearly called for
and would do the youngsters OTIS of
good"
While the Clinton Herald does not
believe David Brant an active candi-
date for representative from Johnson
county, it admits tha- "ons thing is GER
tain, if Mr.. Brant is nominated he will
put up a strong campaign, and if
elected, will ably represent Johnson
county"
And Dolliver says 1t 0as not honest
for him to remain quiet, Knowing as
he did the sentiment of his state,' re-
marks the Valley Express.
The Sac Sun commends the candidacy
OF Senator l.. H. Hubbard, of Sioux
City, for congress In the Eleventh dis
trict, in tha following terms: "Sena-
tor Hubbard possesses the qualiflca-
tons of a good campaigner and, more
over, is an able lawyer and an excellent
citizen. 1t is too early to say who else
will be in tbs field. but it is safe to
predict that there viii be an interesting
contest and a good nomination"
Discussing the probabilities in the
Eleventh district, the Spencer News is
of the opinion that, whether Congress-
mar Thomas runs again, practically
depends uCSn the support he is given at
home. II the strong coterie of Buena
ways stood back of him and fought and
bled for him are willing to plunge once
more into the fray On his behalf then
he will undoubtedly be a candidate for
another term. 1t is & serious question
whether they will do this n there are
signs already that they are ready for a
detection. Without them. it is con-
coded Congressman Thomas can do
nothing"

MONEY is EASIER.
TSioux City Journal.1

From numerous Iowa banks comes
the cheering news that deposits are In
,creasing n~oticeably, while the insistent
demand for loans is letting up. This
verlfies predictions made before the
first of the year that the then strained
financial situation JASON which would
right itself. So far as Iowa is concerned
the relief has come partly as a result of
the conservative policy of Iowa bankers
in refusing to loan money for specula-
tive land investments in the northwest,
partly from changed conditions here,
and in no small degree by reason of i'm
proved conditions in the eastern money
Icenters.
Owing to the late season the crops,
such as were marketable, were slow in.
getting to market. That movement Is
now well under way, and is bringing
money back to the west. Many OF the
farmers who were feeding their soft
corn to cattle, borrowing money to cover
the Investment, have disposed of the
cattle. and have been paying up their
loans. Tho the investment has not
proved a very profitable one, 1t was the
best that could be made under the cir
cumstances.
Down east the financial skies have
cleared surprisingly. The big money
pool, formed by a syndicate of f1nanc-
iers to tide over the period Of New
Years strenuousness, was not called
upon for help and was dissolved soon
after the first of the year. The New
Years disbursements poured into cir
culation a lot Of pent up cash. which,
having discharged its obligations,
promptly came back to the banks to
meet new demands upon it. With the
easier rates for money the speculative
tendency again has asserted itself. and
a period of higher prices for securities
is looked for.
One of the gratifying features OF the
general business situation is the decided
boom In exports. The record for De-
cember showed exports for that month
aggregating $14s. 900, 900. This was a
better showing than was made in any
previous December. In fact, 1t has been
exceeded by only a single previous
month-October, 1900. Imports also
hav been booming, the $94,o0o,00 total
in that month being exceeded by no
previous December. This record also
was beaten by only a single month pre-
yiously-April, 1897. when the going In
to effect of the Dingley law was being
anffcipated.

path and is still pending in a doubtful
way. Just as it appeared to be safely
out of the woods a new objection arises.
The state department at Washington is
considering the ~advisability of extend
ing the period of time allowed for rati-
fication, the time expiring next satur-
day. While the senate managers are
confident OF their ability to ecure the
approval of the treaty within the time
limit, the president and Secretary Hay
have about concluded that they will
scarcely be warranted in risking the
loss OF this important convention, and
therefore they contemplate the drafting
of a special article in the shape of "a
protocol which will provide for a safe
etension of the period allowed for rati-
fcation,
