George X. Howell.

The many Missouri friends of Geo. X.
Howell will be pleased to learn that the
democrats Of Ringgold county, Iowa,
have just given him unanimous nomi-
nation for representative of that
county.
The Mt. Ayr Journal has this to say
of the talented young nominee. 1.-The
candidate for representative, George
X. Howell, is a young attorney, recently
located at Mt. Ayr, and is young man
of sound Judgment, good discretion, a
graduate of the state law school, a
good democrat, and can get up and talk
when necessary. He was raised in De-
catur county and has character and
reputation without spot or blemish."
Mr.. Howell is son of Prof. John M.
Howell, of Davis City, and comes of
fighting political stock from both pa
ternal and maternal sides. His grand
father, the late George Burris, served
several terms a member of the Harrison
county court, and notwithstanding the
county had republican majority of 800,
was elected to the Missouri legislature
by a comfortable majority over one of
the most prominent republicans in the
state.
On his paternal side his grandfather,
the late w. X. Howell, was several
years sheriff and held many other offices
of honor and trust in Harrison county.
George K. Howell is said to possess in
all eminent degree the sterling qualities
of his family and will, if the republican
majority of his county is not too beast
| ly, be found among the winners in Ring
gold county at the November election.
The people Of his county cannot do
too much for him as he richly deserves
any honor they can bestow upon him. =
Bethany Democrat.

If this thing keeps upif some com
binations go to pieces and others find
their securities declining in value al
most to the vanishing point the trusts
may find it necessary to organize mu-
tual aid association in order to allay the
suspicion OF the public. When a trust
is on the verge of collapse it's fellows
may subscribe to relief fund in order
to keep it alive. If some plan like this
is not adopted and the big combina-
lions continue to so under there will be
no market for trust securities, and then
the trusts will be forced to retire from
business. Evidently the theory of con
solidation is not working as smoothly
and successfully as it's champions ex,
pccted. Baltimore Sun.

James 6. Blaine, Free Trader"

The. following is a copy of a letter,
now in existence, written by James G..
Blaine to VIM Mckinley:
Washington, April 10, 1890. Dear
Mr.. Mckinley: 1t is a great mistake
to take hides, from the free list, where
they have been for 80 many years.
1t is a slap in the face Of south Afri-
cans with whom we are trying to en-
large our trade. 1t will benefit the
farmer by adding from to 8 per cent
to the price of his children's shoes.
1t will yield profit to the butcher
only-the last man that needs it. The
movement is injudicious from beginning
to end in every form and phase.
Please stop it before it sees light.
Such movements as these for protection
will protect the republican party only
in speedy retirement. Very hastily,
JAMES G. BLAINE.
According to the current remarks of
the standpatters, this makes James G.
Blaine free trader. And to add to
their embarrassment, the recipient of
the letter, VIM. Mckinley, agreed with
Blaine, and kept hides on the free list.
Hides were kept on the free list
by these two eminent republican pro-
tectionists for the reason stated in Mr..
Blaine's letter, and these reasons are
being mentioned today in support of
free hides. But the standpatters char
acterize as free traders all who assume
Blaine's position and McKinleys posi-
ton. That kind of free traders are
numerous in the west now, and are
mostly in the republican party.

The Sigourney Review has the follow
ing: "The democrats of this state have
an opportunity this year to do some
thing. Their ticket is all that any man
can ask for. Their platform is good and
party united. In Mr.. Sullivan the dem
ocrats have a brillia Mt leader and with
the proper support he will land the
gubernatorial Office. Mr.. Sullivan is
able to meet and vanquish his opponent
on the stump. If he is not speaking
every day he should be. But Mr.. Sulli-
van cannot do all by himself, he needs
the support, both moral and practical,
of every true democrat. The enemy
arc divided. Their record is bad. With
the proper enlightenment, the people
we verify believe, will rally to the sup
port of the democratic state ticket.
They have had a plenty of mulct laws,
road laws, insurance scandals, state
binding and printing "hold-ups' to sat
isfy them for while at least. The
great majority of the people would wipe
oat these obnoxious laws if the way is
presented 1t is the duty of our candi-
dates to go before the people and ex-
plain their positions. The days are
growing few before the election. Will
| the time be improved?'

Professor William H. Brewer of Yale
predicts that the American trotting
horse will in time do mile in one min
ute and fifty seconds, and he thinks that
will be the limit of speed. The pro-
fessor calculates that it may take fifty
years to reach the 1:50 notch. Twenty
years ago he predicted that the two
minute trotter would appear in the first
decade of the twentieth century, and
the prediction was recently fulfilled.
He bases his calculations on an elabor-
ate chart with tracings of notable per-
formances on the trotting turf.

Rumor has it in Turin that Pope Plus

Rumor has it in Turin that Pope Plus
Y does not intend to remain "the pris-
oner of the vatican" like his two pre-
decessors. 1t is said that some time
next fall he will come out Of his retire
ment and will even leave Rome for a
time. This is believed to be in accord
with the views of what is known as
the Venetian party in the vatican.
Final decision in the matter has not ye
been reached. The Roman party in the
college of cardinals is much opposed to
such a step, but Plus \ is a very de-
tcrmined man.

The board of supervisors of Kossuth
county, this state, decided upon some
things that are perhaps out of the ordi-
nary custom of the various counties OF
the state. 1t was ruled that hereafter
banks in which the county funds are de-
posted shall pay a low rate of interest
for the use of the county's money, and
also that the county pay the cost Of the
county treasurer's security bond.

ED HUNTERS FINISH.

Whether Ed Hunter is debarred or
not, as a result of the charges brought
by a committee of the Des Moines bar
association, those charges mark his
finish, for there were already many of
the people of the state who believed
that he should be disbarred, along
with the other attorneys who have
made lobbying their business and who

The democrats of Iowa have a candi-

have to explain what Kind of a demo

shipper of the Iowa Idea The demo

Sullivan without any uneasiness as to
where he stands. The republicans are
