Cotton In Centr I America.

A dispatch from Now Orleans to
the New York Sun says that the high
price that cotton is now commanding
is having the effect of.causing it to be
planted in Central America and the
West Indies. where little cotton has
been raised for centpriss. This is es-
pecislly the case with those countries
connected directly with New Orleans
in business and which have been kept
interested in the subject by the recen,
New Orleans corner. Thus British
Honduras has gone mad on cotton. It
does all its business through New Or
leans, all mails to England being sent
through this city, and even the Gov
ernor Of the colony reaching there on
IL By this route unless he goes on
British man-os-war.
The cane crop has been almost en-
tirely abandoned in Belize for cotton
and the only question is now Co get
the necessary seed for planting. A
considerable quantity of seed has been

The same excitement is reported in
Cuba, especially among the Ameri-

ed methode and machinery in use in
the sugar industry in this country,

sequence of longer season, would pro-
duce splendid financial results. Those
who went to plant cane have recently
changed their crop to cotton, seeing q

SHERIFF AND JAIL,

Editors Herald:-For the past three
weeks have had my time fully occu-
pied in repairing my breathing appa-
ratus, consequently have not had the
time to call attention to an article
signed ~. G. r." in the Times Journal
in which he pretends to criticize last
article of ]. T. r. in the Herald. Suf.
fee it to say that my critic deliberate
ly and maliciously misquotes, trans-
poses and adds thereto in a most bare
face and shameful manner, and for
the sole purpose of deceiving; but to
any one who had read both articles
this explanation is unnecessary.
When this j. G. r. learns enough to
chew gum possibly he will not be so
fresh in adopting the role of critic
and press censor. Evidently the dem.
ocrats are sorely pressed for sub
stance to induce even their own party
members to stay with forlorn hope.
1t is agreed on all sides that for the
past three weeks and from now on
until the election every mans head
on the democratic ticket goes to the
block designedly to save the sheriff
atty. Promises are made by the bush
whackers of democracy to. any and all
republican voters that for every re-
publican vote for sheriff the democrat
will promise-remember, promise
to vote for any two or three men on
the republican ticket. OF course, bar.
ring sheriff, this method of trading is
not new with them by any means. It
is one of their best gratis, and our re
publican voters should not be deceiv-
ed by such propositions, for a straight
republican vote insures the election
of every candidate on the republican
ticket And from the outlook there
seems to be the largest republican
majority ever put up in Proud Mahas-
ka.
My interest in the full success of
the ticket is exceedingly large, for /
had the honor as well as the pleasure
of announcing their nomination. Con-
sequently am somewhat IN the role
of a foster father, and knowing the
sterling integrity, honorable demean-
or and grand qualifications for the po-
sitions they have been chosen for, it
is pleasure to commend them to the
voters. In fact, they are without ex-
ception the likeliest bunch in my long
experience and deserve full support.
and undoubtedly will get it.

error of bookkeeping. Possibly Mr..
Cricket made it as donation to the

show that he would have been $4,000

publican officials, who are ever vigil
liant. Now, inasmuch as there ap-
pears from the democratic standpoint
any issue only on sheriff, is it true
that Mr.. Cricket has made the best
sheriff Mahaska county has had? An
honest difference of opinion may arise
on that issue. Wholesale escapes

well known and attributed to defect

II an administration of the affairs Of

sheriff's officers had to have their at
tention called to it by party outside
being notified this identical prisoner
was in Jail in another county. These
facts are mentioned to show that
mems qualifications are sometimes
oyerrated. j. T. r.

TAX COLLECTIONS.

The amount of taxes collected dur

was in excess of the total for the same
month last year when there was an
amount of $15,000.00 paid into the
treasury as the result of the work OF
the tax ferrets. This is a splendid
showing and one that speaks well for
the prosperity of the residents of the
county.

WIN. COOLEY CAPTURED
Man Accused of Murder at Hooking
is Arrested.

Abba, Oct. 2O.--Arter remaining in
hiding and thwarting the efforts of
the officers to locate him since the
night of July 4, William Cooley, for
merly Of Hockine was arrested yes
terday at Noyinger, Mo-, and was
brought to Abba to answer the charge
of murder as the result of the death
of Robert Roe. Roe was killed dur
ing fight over a can of beer in
which Cooley, Roe and two others,
James Campbell and William Fuller,
participated. Fuller was arrested the
day after the death of Roe and when
tried in Abba recently he received a
sentence Of five years in the Fort
Madison penitentiary.
Cooley Escaped.
Cooley, who was also arrested on
July 5, worked ruse which fooled
the officer in whose custody he was
being taken to Abba He asked for
few minutes to feed his chickens
before being taken to Jail and the
simple request was granted.the officer
meanwhile staying outside Cobley's
house with Fuller. Cooley went
through the house and left by a rear
door, never again putting in an ap-
pearance in Monroe county until yes
terday, when he was brought here by
the sheriff.
A Brutal Crime.
According to the evidence intro
duced by the state in the trial of Full
Ter, Cooley was a party to the brutal
murder of Roe, who was killed by a
blow on the head with club, accord
| ing to the witnesses against the de-
| fendant 1t is anticipated by those
who have watched the case that Cob
ley will be confronted by much the
same evidence as that introduced
against Fuller. Cooley is unmarried
and lives at Hooking, where he was
employed in the mines for several
years. Previous to this trouble he had
borne fairly good reputation. It
seems that the killing of Roe was due.
largely to the fact that all the parties
were more or less intoxicated at the
time. In fact, they became engaged
in quarrel over cup Of beer that
had been given to them by a saloon
keeper and which Roe, it is said,
claimed for himself.

sULLlvAN,s LOGIC.

Cedar Rapids Republican: Speaking
in Iowa City the other night, Candi-
date Sullivan said: ~
'If the people of the United States
elected their senators as they do
their representatives you woald not
have as many men in the United
States senate antagonistic to tariff
reform as you have to-day. wish
my country to be commercial won
der. 1 wish the fruits of her labor,
the products of her soil to enter ev'
cry known port and / wish it to be
welcomed by the hand of the free
not by the chained hand of the slave.
Well, if Brother Sullivan wants
these things accomplished the best
thing for him to do is to get in line
and vote the republican ticket. The
republican party has been engaged in
the work he outlines from the very
beginning of it's power. The repub.
lican party succeeded to a bankrupt
treasury and began the administra
tion of government when the land was
rent with civil feuds and about to be
drenched with fraternal blood. The
party to which Mr.. Sullivan belongs
was responsible both for the bankrupt
treasury and for the terrible state oi
feeling that existed because of its
long continued adherence to unsound
economic doctrines and its defense OF
the institution of slavery.
The republican party put down the
slave holders rebellion and replaced
revenue tariff law with protective
measure. With single interruption
protection has been the unyarying
policy of this country from tho day
the Morrill, tariff act was passed until
the present time. The first accom-
plishment was to secure a home mar
ket for America; that done, we reach.
ed out after foreign trade and to-day
we are doing exactly the things Mr.
Sullivan says he wants to see done
We have become the commercial won.
der of the world. The fruits of Amer.
ican labor and the products of our
soil do enter every port, and IL they
are not welcomed by the hand Of the
free, it is not our fault.
Mr.. Sullivan's party had an unfet
tered opportunity to put its theories
to the tests on March 4, ten years
ago. After a year of wrangling, they
presented their economic handiwork
to the country in the shape Of the
statute known as the Wilson German
tariff law. Under it's operation, our
home industries languished, our for.
eign trade decreased, the land was
filed with idleness and soup houses,
the revenues were not sufficient to
support the government, and our ma
tional debt was increased in time of
peace to the extent of 1902, 100000. A
single test was sufficient. and for a
decade the free traders did not dare
to show their heads. Now In the hope
that the people have forgotten the
disasters Of the period from '94 to '97,
they are again proclaiming the old
heresies.
