The urion label on money is the
latest proposition. Once the gov
ernment adpots a law placing the
union label on money members OF
organized la.or are expected, says
q Chicago press dispatch, to refuse
to accept money which does not
bear the union insignia. L. Z.
Straube, secretary OF the Allied
Printing Trades. Council, is sponsor
for the latest idea: "The union
label unquestlonaoly has grand
and lofty misslou to fulfill, said
Mr.. Straubs, "but its advocates
mist remember that as the complete
unanimity of thought, word and
action is iHpractieable in shis ques-
tion, gradual manifestation OF It's
beneticent influence would more
readily appeal to the intelligence OF
It's present opponents. While, ike
the truth, the union label must
fnay triumph, since 1T represents
the good and pure, It's universal ac-
ceptance can only be attained by
degrees. 1t takes time to educate
the masses to all that the union label
signifies.

ed ia surprise-the defeat OF the
crack Punahou team by the Ka-

ing as to how it happened. The score
was mercifully left by the school
boys at 10 to 4,the Punah Gus having
been thoroughly beaten before the
second inning was flushed.
The second game, between the Fl
&C and Male team', resulted in
victory for the former by score Of
8 to 5. Playing in this game was
livelier than in the first, the contest
being more stubborn.

1T becomes the duty of the people, If
they would protect themselves, to rob
monopoly of it's sinister powers. Is
there an unprejudiced person in Iowa
who thinks that anything was done
by the Republicans of this state to
lessen the grip OF monopolies? 1t was
the one thing most remote from the
intention of those who made the plat
form and ruled the convention. The
Republican party has steadily sought
to smother competition, aud in this
respect it has been far more success.

Storm DESTROYS crops.

A severe wind, hail and rain storm
swept over part of Southwestern
Iowa last week. destroying all crops in
its path and leveling many buildings.
A number of injuries have been re-
ported, but no fatalities. Telegraph
and telephone wires are down in all
directions and it is almost impossible
to get in any information as to the
severity of the storm In the country
districts. The greatest damage is re-
ported from Atlantic. where the court,
house. Methodist church and large
brick store building in course Of con-
Btruction were wrecked. Fred Ipsen
sustained broken leg by being blown
from load Of hay. L. w. Wheatley
was seriously injured in runaway,
his team taking fright at the storm.
At Audubon It is reported that crops
of all kinds are totally destroyed.
Harlan reports many farm buildings
demolished and that the corn and
small grain have been pounded into
the ground. A severe hail storm
struck Sheldon Monday afternoon.
The storm was about ten miles wide.
1t lasted only fifteen minutes, but did
100000 damage. The stones were
the size of nutmegs and drifted in
places ten inches deep.

Outside View Of the Republican Plat.
form.

The Iowa republican platform of
yesterday comes perilously near idiocy,
so far as it relates to the tariff. 1t
uses words, not to conceal thoughts,
but to hide intentions, to mask divis-
ions. and to make of a solemn politi-
cal deliverance a species of thimble-
rigging. Talk about driving coach
and four through the language of the
resolution! A whole circus procession,
clowns and all-especially clowns
could find room to disport itself be-
tween the meaningless phrases, the
ABSURD balancing of contradictories,
70 % found in the Iowa tariff plank.

telegraph or telephone, as most con.
venient, and these reports are sent to
every person along the lines. In this
way more than $4,000 residents of

of covering the state in this way has
only been commenced. The telephone
owners have shown a desire to CO.

FIGHT FOR HIGHER WAGES.
Clerks Of Des Moines Will start ar
Active Cannaion

TsSsiSV S0titPaISus
An interesting fight has just been
started at Des Moines on one phase Of
the wage question which is attracting
more attention than any other that has
come up in long time. The officers
OF the clerks union have commenced a
fight for union control of the clerks in
the large department stores of the city,
and those stores that are employers of
large numbers of girls at low wages.
The demand is not so much for an in
crease of wages in these stores, but
that only such persons shall be en-
ployed as are competent and worth
fair wages, and that incompetent young
persons shall not be employed at
starvation wages. The claim is made
that there are several hundred girls
from the country towns about Des
Moines, or the daughters of working
men OF the city, and that they are
paid from 50 to "a a week for their
labor; that this is insufficient to sup
port them, and that as a consequence
they are easily misled and ruined. It
Is related of one Of the members Of a
big department house that when a
young girl complained to him that the
p1ttance he was allowing her was in
sufficient to afford her a living. he
coarsely told her that then she would
have to seek some way Of adding to
her income outside of work hours.
The inference was plain to the girl and
she sought other employment. AS a
result of investigations made by the
clerks of this city, it has been deter
mined that some effort be made to
compel the merchants to cease the en-
ployment of cheap labor and to stop
paying wages to girls and young wo-
men which virtually force the clerks
to lives of shame. Some time ago in
a fight over restaurant employment in
the city. the women's federation was
Interested in the matter because Of
the fact that the question of wages
for the girls has a bearing on the So
cial question, and only because Of the
interest of the women was the fight
won for fair wages. 1t is now believ.
ed the women will become as deeply
interested in this question of the wages
OF the clerks in the department stores
and compel a reform. The outcome
Will be watched with much interest.

HAPPENINGS IN IOWA
EVENTS OF A WEEK THROUGH
OUT THE STATE.
Insurance Men chuckling Over the Alb.
sorption of an Iowa Company
by One In chicaso-storm
Destroys Crops.

Insurance men of Iowa are doing a
little chuckling among themselves this
week because of the unexpected turn
of affairs in Chicago company which
has just absorbed an Iowa company
that was doing a questionable bust
ness. W. e. Custis. the high salaried
reporter of a Chicago paper, who went
to Des Moines and made bad mess
of trying to attack the rottenness Of
some business done under the guise
of insurance, virtually made an attack
on the state and state officials and all
insurance business in Iowa, basing his
criticism chiefly on the method of do
ing business by one company. His
comparison was naturally between
Iowa and Illinois laws and methods.
But the one company whose business
he criticised had just moved to Chica-
60 to find greater field and was alb
sorbed by 9 big Chicago company, the
National Life Insurance company. The
last named company has been paraded
as a paragon of perfection, but the
state auditor of Iowa, almost without
legal warrant, had compelled 1t to
agree to maintain its reserves in Iowa,
although an outside corporation. Cur
tbs gave Iowa black eye to the adj
vantage of Illinois. But now comes
the information that the great COM
pany which absorbed the little Iowa
concern is defending itself against an
application for receiver filed by the
former city comptroller, and the &C.
cusation is that the present owners Of
the company came into control of it
through fraud and deception and by
working on the fears of sick man,
unable to realize what he was doing.
The bill goes on to make the most Sc
rious accusations against these an
gelic insurance men in connection
with a queer transfer Of building in
Chicago, and q receiver is asked for
the building also. In short, the Chi
cago company Is in a very bad mud
die; and it is generally believed here
that the Curtis attack on Iowa laws
and Iowa business was largely in the
fancied interest Of rival business In
cidentally it may be mentioned that
Curtis has not yet complied with the
motion for a more specific statement
and that his attack remains an attack
upon legitimate as we'll as illegitimate
business in Iowa. He appears reluc-
tant to give the names Of companies
and extracts from official reports di.
rected against the abuses of the law
by specific companies.

Crows and Crows.

The Cedar Rapids Republican and
Manchester Press are known far and
wide as 'sstand patters" Of the most
pronounced type, but one or the other
of them must indulge in illusions
while gazing in the direction of the
Allison platform recently adopted by
the republicans of Iowa.
The hrst day after the convention
The Republican was making all kinds
OF faces at what it evidently consider.
ed nauseating platform. Here is
one of its worst utterances.
''There is nothing in the republican
platform adopted at Des Moines
yesterday that will make any republi.
can point to it with pride. It is not
that kind of platform.
And even the second day after the
convention the Republican said:
1.-THE republicans and the democrats
have nominated their tickets ant
adopted their platforms.
The two platforms are alike in tina
they say little or nothing and ar
wholly satisfactory to no one. Boil
are compromise platforms.
While the Republican was thu
attempting to dispose of its very I'm
savory dish of bad black crow, tn,
Press was feasting upon crows of al
entirely different specie. Here is one
of its crows:
"The republican state convention
at Des Moines yesterday resulted in 8
decisive victory for old-fashioned
republicanism. The anti-Cummins
forces controlled the committee or
resolutions, and the platform writer
by Senator Allison was adopted. The
platform retires to oblivion the
Shelter plank of the last two plat
forms, and leaves the democratic
party in rightful possession of the
Iowa idea.'"
Itseems strange that there should
be such difference between the Re
publican crows and those that HON,
in our neighbours coop.
