Delhi's Claim to Renown


The town of Delhi, in this county.
is not different from other places of its,
size In any respect expect one, but that
one difference Justly entities it to dis
tinction. In 1868 Delhi was the home of
j. L. McCreery, aud in February or
March of that year he wrote poem en-
titled, There is no Death, which has no
superior in any language. 1t has cir
cled the earth, and is loved and admir-
ed in every land where the people speak
the English tongue and where English
hymns to God are sung. Five times if
not more it has been quoted in whole
or in part in congress, and in that way
it has been made part of the congress
sional record, The town where such
truths and rhythms were first voiced is
entitled to more fame than the place
where some great monument has been
built, because monuments wear away
and crumble: into dust; but There is
no Death" will continue to grow bright
er with the ages. Even the house
where Mr.. McCreary lived in 1868 may
yet be sought after and protected by
those who have found comfort and con

Another Story About Senator Allison.

Another Story About Senator Allison.
No man in public life in this country
is more skillful than Senator Allison in
obscuring his views on mooted public
questions. His dexterity In this par
ticular has earned for him the nick
name "Pussy Foot" A newspaper cor
respondent tells the following story
about the senior senator, which may OF
may not be true, for its probability may
have tempted the scribe to coin 1t from
the fabric of his Imagination. at any
event here is the story:

That .Harmony Agreement. /"


The public has been given to under
stand that an agreement has been
reached between Senator Allison, Gov
ernor Cummins and Secretary Shaw,
in reference to the slowa Idea,' which
will make everything harmonious for
the republicans at their next State con-
vention. This may be true, and yet it
does not follow bytany means that Iowa
republicans are !, of one mind on
the tariff question. If the re
publican leaders have entered into a
Harmony agreement" it simply means
that they have agreed not to fight over
their differences at the next state con-
vention. 1t may also mean that Sena-
tor Allison will be permitted to write
the tariff plank, which is an assurance
that it will be uncertain and general
enough to have no binding effect upon
anyone. The old antipathies and diff
ferences of opinion will continue to ex-
ist just the same. Mrs. Shaw, who is
spending few days in Des Moines,
talked very frankly about the iowa
Idea" to newspaper reporter. Here
are two extracts from the interview
which explain the harmony that exists
between the republican leaders:
"Did you ever hear of a man getting
harder slap in the face than Governor
Cummins did when, short time after
he commenced talking his "Iowa Idea
30 actively, President Roosevelt, Score.
tary Root and Mr.. Shaw made speeches
against tinkering with the TARIFF"
INF. Cummins may like to have II
appear that he was on intimate terms
with Mr.. Roosevelt. but he need moi
tlatter himself that tariff reform suits
the administration. l know he don't
like Mr.. Shaw, but then, there's no love
lost on either side for that matter.

The Dubuque Telegraph Herald of

The Dubuque Telegraph Herald of
last Sunday contained q very sensible
editorial relative to democratic politics
in Iowa. Attention was called to the
fact that the party in this state is COM
posed of three groups, wiz: "These who
favor reatlirmation, those who have
been loyal to the Chicago and Kansas
City platforms but who now object to
reaffirmation and those who want re-
organization of the party" The first
two groups are called genuine demo-

The Glass of 1903 acquitted themselves
with much honor in their commence
'ment exercises last week.
The Glass Day program on Wednes-
day afternoon was unusually interest
ing and the auditorium of the M.
Z. church was packed with spprec1a-
tive friends of the graduates, twelve in
number.
The Democrat regrets that limited
space prevents more full report of the
orations, debates and class papers. each
one of which is worthy of space in our
columns. The extracts we have scissor
ed do not in the slightest degree do
justice to the graduates who in simple
pleasant manner, without the affection
of stagism, delivered their productions.
After the invocation by Rev. H. o.
Pratt of the NJ. E. church and song
by the Glass of 1903, Miss Mabel Miller
said of the "Keys of Success" Every
manis himself and 1t is in proportion as
he gets out of himself the power that
is within him, that he succeeds. Nor
must we get the idea that if q man has
reputation he is successful. True sue
cess is earned slowly and by doing
every thing we do the very best we can.
Il x No man in this world ever made
lasting success except by hard work. :"
Miss Miller has charming personality
and pleasant delivery.
The Glass Prophecy or "a Glimpse
into the Future was written by Miss
Mary Bailey who dreamed of a 'O3
class meeting twenty five years hence,
and these were our young friends in
their later dignity and wisdom. Francis
Durham is known as the editor of the
leading agricultural magazine in the
state who, besides being writer ard
lecturer of ability, is a practical farmer.

Iowa Democrats.

In 1886 the democratic party opposed
the schemes of the scarce money mo-
nopolists with all the energy it posses
sed. Then, as well as at the present time,
the democratic party believed in the
quantitative theory OF money. In 1896
the democratic party insisted that the
business depression of that period could
not be remedied, except by an increase
in the circulating medium, and the
logic of events has demonstrated the
truth of that claim.
In1S96 the democratic party favored
the free coinage of silver, as the best
means by which to accomplish a de
sired object, viz: A sound and sub
stantlel increase in the country's money
supply, and provision for a circulating
medium which would increase in vol
ume so as to keep pace with.the growth
and commercial requirements of the
country. That was the principal for
which the democratic party commended.
The free coinage of silver was simply
the road over which the party in 1896
said it would go to reach the desired
position if intrusted with power at that
time
Before the Kansas City convention
was held in 1900, the republican party
had learned in the school of experience
that every claim made by the demo-
Gratis in reference to the qualitative
theory of money was true, and they
had also taken steps to profit by their
lesson. The committee on resolutions
at Kansas City would, had Mr.. Bryan
not interfered, have reported plat
form which would not alone have lined
with the party's past record, but would
also have been abreast with the condi-
tions then existing. In our judgment
Mr.. Bryan made the mistake of his
life, when he gave the Kansas City
convention to understand that he
would not accept nomination unless
the money plank of the Chicago plat
form was specifically reaflirmed.
Mr.. Bryan's mistake, however, was 9
mistake of the head and not of the
heart. At heart he is as true demo
crat Us ever lived.
While a large majority of the demo
Gratis of Iowa may not favor specific
reaflirmation of the Kansas City plat
form, 1t does not follow by any means
that they are not heartily in favor of the
principles enunciated in that plat
form. While still believers in the prin
ciples for which they have heretofore
contended, Iowa democrats may and
probably will try to profit by che fail
ures of the past. Conditions require
different treatment now than they die
in 1896, and should the party be unable
to recognize that fact, 1t would be al
unsafe party to intrust with power.
Iowa democrats may not declare IN
qualifiedly for -raanirmation, but it Ii
quite certain that they VIII not ALLOW
the handful of Palmer and Buckner re
organizers to shape the party's policy
in the slightest degree. Iowa demo
Gratis are truly democratic.
