Tendency of The Times.

The tendency of medical science IL
toward preventive measures. The best
thought Of the world is being given to
the subject. 1t Is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one OF the most dangerous diseases
that medical men have to contend with,
can be prevented by the use of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia
always results from cold or from an
attack Of influenza igrippe). and 1t has
been observed that this remedy coun-
terasts any tendency of these diseases
toward pneumonia. This has been fully
proven in many thousands of cases in
which this remedy ras been used dur
ing the great prevalence of colds and
grippe in recent years. and can be re-
lied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from slight
cold when no danger is apprehended
until it is suddenly discovered that
there is fever and difficulty in breath
ing and pains in the chest. then 1t is
announced that the patient has pneu-
monia. Be on the safe side and take
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as soon
as the cold is contracted. 1t always
cures. For sale by all druggists.

PRIMARY GOOD FOR A PARTY.

The republicans of Powesheik county
will this spring vote at their prim-
airy upon proposition to return to the
old convention system of nominating
candidates. In the discussion that has
arisen in the Poweshiek county news
papers the Brooklyn Chronicle, OPP
posing the primary system, has adj
vanced some very queer arguments
In substance it criticises the primary
election on the ground that the people
living in towns can go to the polls
with much less Inconvenience than can
the farmer and hence the town resi-
dents monopolize all the offices. The
Times Republican. which has the te-
merity to discuss the question was
savagely turned upon with the sheer
Despite the Nominations of the es-
teemed Times Republican the annual
farce by which Marshalltown chooses
officers for Marshall county is case
which has a very definite application
here. 1t would seem that discussion
based upon such limited information
would hardly serve any useful purpose
for in Marshall countys last primary
when the vote of the city of Marshall
town was so unusually large as to
cause editorial comment the county
outside of the city polled 1882 votes
to the city's 1890 and recent discussion
among candidates has developed the
fact that in twenty years more than
half of the republican nominees for
county offices in Marshall county have
been residents of the rural districts.
The Grinnell Herald meets the prob.
lem upon a much higher plane than

DeLAwARe,s LATEST APPEAL.

The futile efforts of the Delaware
legislature to elect two United States
senator's have led the house of repre-
sentatives OF that state to unanimously
pass a resolution requesting congress
to cali a convention to which shall be
proposed an amendment to THE con-
stitution of the United States proNid-
ing for the selection of senators by a
direct vote of the people. Delaware
certainly furnishes a most potent ar
gument in favor of such a change. how
ever much men may differ on the sub
iect. During two sessions of the Fifty
seventh congress the state has not been
represented in the upper chamber be-
cause the state legislature was I'M
potent to elect. In popular election
no such hitch as that which Is
shown in the legislative body could oc-
cur. Nor would it be possible for a
man like Addicks to buy enough votes
to insure his success even in SO small
Il STATE as LEW" aiS aiioei VI a''Ae'iS
conditions. The chances are, too, that
a man whom the people desired would
oftener be chosen.
Yet with this instructive example be-
fore the country 1T is hardly probable
that any immediate step will be taken
In the direction desired by this state
legislature. THE we'll known hostility
of the senate to such change ana the
conservatism of many of the people
would be against it. tho there Is well
grounded belief that If such a PROPOSE
ton were submitted to a popular vote
of the people of the United States to-
day it would be carried with a force

OLD SOLDIERS PREFERRED.
Everything Else Equal Equal, They
Shall Have Public Places.


Washington, Feb. 25.-The admins
tration's policy to give the veterans
preference in office, other Things be-
ing equal is reiterated in the following
letter which Postmaster Gsmeral Payne
has sent TO a Representative in con-
gre.ss,
Referring TO our interview this NOR
ming regarding the appointment of a
postmaster at --- and to YOU, re-
quest that Mr. - be appointed.
beg to say that the records of the.
departnsn.s siyw that the present
postmaster has an excellent record as
an official. He has made most ca
pable and satisfactory postmaster, both
as to his relations with the department
and the patrons of the office. He is a
veteran of the civil war with a most
excellent record as a soldier. 1t is the
wish of the president to retain In the
service old soldiers who have made
good public officials and against whom
TO charges of misconduct have been
preferred. as is the case in this in
stance. The grand army veterans re-
siding in ---- have entered q pro-
test against Mr. --'s (tfe present
postmaster) displacement.
Under these circumstances we are
not disposed to make change in the
office named.
Yours yer ytruly.

HINTS AS TO COAL STRIKE REPORT.

The coal strike commission is very
quiet, but it is not idle. 1t finds the
1900 pages secured at Philadelphia
and in the coal regions great deal to
take in, digest and assimilate. 1t will
require, two or three weeks yet before
mastering it. AS indicating the proba-
biiities, w. Z. Curtis states in a late
letter that while nothing definite has
been decided upon, it is probable that
the commission will render its verdict
in the form of a judicial decision, sum-
ming UP the evidence on all sides and
discussing the rights and wrongs of the
operators and the miners as they We're
developed In the testimony. When all
the members of the commission have
expressed their views it is expected
that a subcommittee of which Judge
Gray will b. chairman. -.ill be assigned
tic the duty of preparing the verdict.
Mr.. Curtis says: Ore of the most
Interesting and importan. of the ques-
tons now under consideration is the
right of every man To earn living. II
is expected that the commission will
take strong grounds on this point and
be practically unanimous in condemn
ing the members OF the labor organiZa-
tons for prohibiting others from sup
porting their families when they desired
to do so. 1t is known to be the opinion
OF several of the members of the COM
mission that such policy as was pur-
sued in the recent strike will be fatal
10 the labor organizations sooner or
later: that the right of a man to labor
and to live is one of the most sacred
and fundamental principles of human
liberty, and that no organiza tons or
community which denies it or interferes
With its application can long survive"
A definite and decided utterance on
this point by the commission would
tend to solidify public sentiment on
this subject, and would without doubt
exercise a powerful influence in re-
pressing disorder
