HUFFMAN AND THE eRAccHl.

Mason City Globe-Gazette. - The
Gracchi is to be the new brand of dem
ocracy in Iowa. All other brands hay
ing failed to meet the desire and expec-
tation of the promoters, this one will
be tried and it is hoped by democracy
with better effect Just what this
may mean to the laymen is yet Sc.
cret in the mind of George A. Huffman
OF Des Moines. father of the idea. 1t
plans to be semi-secret and hopes to
number among its members the young
Romans, the old Romans, and ''the no.
blest Romans of them ALL" 1t is said
Mr.. Huffman is great student of Ro-
man history, and dropped upon the
names OF the Gracchi brothers, who
secured the passage of new agrarian
law dividing the public lands into
small farms for the needy and also pro-
posed to divide the treasures of Attal-
us among those who received land to
enable them to buy cattle and build
houses. But the oligarchs aroused a
mob and Gracious lost his head. His
brother followed his example and met
like fate. Whether Mr.. Huffman's
Gracchi, who are yet unborn, will de-
velop into such revolutionists, is yet to
be seen, but the fate of the ancient
Gracchi might call up warning note.
1t is said of the mother of Gracchi,
when upon one occasion she was
shown a beautiful cabinet of rare
gems by a friend, she called her two
sons to her, saying: These are my
jewels" In this connection it might
make excellent food for speculation to
know who will mother the Gracchi of
Mr.. Huffman, when once born. Could
Mr.. Cleveland, from the cool shades
OF Princeton, be induced to turn from
the glitter of the glorious past and
cry out, "These are my Jewels" or
could Mr.. Bryan, from the sanctum of
the Commoner, be depended upon to
give voice to These are my sinners? 2"
Nay, nay, Paulina. Huffman's Gray
cusses are Dagoesque and all is vain.
The infant Gracchi would be strangled
in the first attempt to dress them in
the swaddling clothes by over attention
of fond mothers.

WARES PENSION REPORT.

The report of Pension Commissions
er Ware contains many interesting
and instructive items He notes that
the list of pensioners has dwindled o.
901 during the past year, making a
total of 996,545 Of this total 729,oo6
are soldiers and 267,l S9 are widows
and dependents. In commenting upon
the decrease, Commissioner Ware ex-
presses the opinion that the pension
list of the United States will not again
cross the 100000 mark and he looks
for steady decline.
Five of the present pensioners are
on the list on account of the revolu-
1872; 4,734 as the result of Indian
wars; 7O3,436 soldiers and 246,390 wild
ows and dependents on account of the
civil war; and $500 soldiers and 1852
widows and dependents from the
Spanish-American war.
In regard to the disbursements of
the pension department, Mr.. Ware
states that the average annual value
of pensions amounts to $133 and that
the total disbursements for the year
will reach 1872, 100000. He also notes
that the total paid out as the result
of all wars is $3,03S, 623, $50, the great
majority of this having been distrib-
uted since the civil war. AS to the
cost. of the pensions he estimates that
it is about SITE per capita for the
present, and he estimates that the
cost of this department, now enor-
nous, will in the course of a few years
be one of the minor expenses of the
government.
sources has expended this large sum
in the care of the men who defended
it through many trying times, with
out realizing it. There is not loyal
American but will feel gratified to
know that the government has thus
been able to do something for the men
who marched under it's banners.

A SORRY SPECTACLE.


Council Bluffs Nonpareil. - Two
months or so ago the republicans of
Iowa and their newspapers agreed
among themselves to put aside their
differences during the present guber-
material campaign and unite their en-
ergies in harmonious effort to give
the party the largest majority ever
recorded in an Iowa campaign. For
the most part the members of the
party and the press have kept this
agreement faithfully, but some have
violated 1t both in spirit and in letter.
Instead of abiding by the action of
the state convention they have since
then Kept up continual wrangling
and Jangiing as though their agree
ment had been TO disagree instead of
to agree. Among at least three lead
ing daily newspapers of the state there
is constant warfare with two on one
side and one on the other; they watch
each other with constant eye; so that
no chance for criticism and castigation
may escape Whatever the one side
advocates in tariff the other is sure to
antagonize, and what the other con-.
dennis the other Is quite as likely to
uphold. One of these three newspa-
pers has allowed itself to become SO
filled with bitterness that 1t has resort

THE FIGHT FOR CONTROL.

Davenport Republcan.-An interest
ing fight is on in the east between
Gray, German, Cleveland, Hill and
Parker. While it is true Mr.. Cleve-
land does not appear in the squabble
personally he exerts powerful infiu-
ence through his old friends Cor
man is after Justice Gray of Delaware
and thus far has the best of it, Gray's
friends tried to capture Pennsylvania
but German headed off the deal.
In New York D. B. Hill is making
vigorous fight for the delegation. His
opponents are Grover Cleveland and
Judge Parker. 1t is doubtful whether
the latter will be able to control the
delegation, and it is question wheth-
er Mr.. Hill will be able to do so. The
old Cleveland influence is about as
strong as ever, even though that gen.
tleman is no longer a resident of that
state. 1t begins to look as il the Cleye.
land influence will control the major.
ity OF the delegations from the eastern
states and the same may be true as
to some OF the western states. Thus
far the south has been largely non
committai
AS 1904 will not be a democratic
year, the fight being made is more for
party control than party success at the
polls. The fact however, must not be
forgotten that W. j. Bryan will play
a prominent part in democratic party
politics next year. While other ambi-
tious men are fighting for position he
will not be idle.

fishing for black bass We were at a
little lake where we could pull out the
bass as fast as we could cast a line.
1t was great sport. We returned to
the lake most of those we caught
which were not injured. 1t was the
only experience ever had in fishing in
a lake all parts of which were alike.
Ordinarily there are so-called fishing
holes-which you usually do not find.
ION this expectation we opened all
of the bass that we caught and we
found that they were not cannibals
A pickerel will eat any kind of fish, but
bass will not eat his own kind, at
least when he has anything else to eat.
However, they are gormands. Cutting
into one, we found smaller fish which
had been gulped down but which was
too big to be assimilated, and one of
whose tail fins was sticking through
the side of the bass.
Il don't believe the hunters this year
will discover any prairie chickens.
They have been slaughtered until they
are depopulated. l remember twenty
five years ago hunting trip took up
into Franklin county. Two of us kill
ed 800 chickens in two days. don't
tell it to boast of my prowess, but to
show how plentiful the supply of chick
ems was then. | am ashamed of the
slaughter we INDUCED in, but it will il
lustrate to the hunters who go out this
year the difference in the number of
chickens in those days and now"
