ANOTHER FLING AT THE VALLEY.

call attention to this marvellous fact
IN such way as that those who are
heaplng this indignity on the largest

may not misunderstood our meaning.
we always like to make our thoughts
plain. There has for many years been
a disposition to belittle people and
things in the Valley on the part of
other sections of the State, especially
in favor of the Tidewater section.
mat feeling was largely the cause of
the loss OF the empire of w. Va. This
action complained of gives fresh proof
OF its existence even altar the dreadful
lesson just mentioned. Now Just WHY
the head of the largest white insane
institution in the State should receive
$3.50 less for his services than the head
OF smaller negro institution of the
same Kind, is question our conun
drum crackers at Richmond will oblige
us by answering, and we promise our
readers to give them the benefit of the
answer as soon as an answer suffici.

unjustifable attack ON it's efficiency
and worth that cannot go unnoticed.

we have pen to WELD. We have borne

this section and especially this coun-
ty by that body, but such unaccount-
able action as this is beyond our rea-
son, and if men capable of attending
our White insane are not worth as much [
rs those who attend our negro insane
we would like to know the reason why.
AND know it once for all. We bad
hoped ordinary justice and fair dealing
would have righted that wrong without
comment. but both seem lacking in
This instance. Senator Opie has ably
'ought TO correct this insidious dis
;inction without avail, but it is still v
lot too late. Certainly We have done o
nothing in the Valley to warrant our @
humane institutions for white people y
'eing lowered in dignity below the a

SOME OF GEN. GRANTS ORDERS.

An Old Confederate veteran of Mary
land, who is constant reader of the
SPECTATOR, has sent us the following
orders issued by Gen. Grant during
the war. which give some idea of the
KIND OF warfare carried on in the South
not by inferior Officers, but bv the
commanding general himself. Here
are some skill and burn" and ..buru
and Kill |" orders. We thank God that
the men of the South never made war
on deteEseless women and unarmed
men, and that if they ever burned ard
Killed, 1t was only in retaliation for
unprovoked murder and arson On the
other side. Our readers will be edited
oy these orders. and they can rest as
sured that they are authentic, having
been taken directly from the official
records in the War Department. Read
carefully that order touching Mosby's

A FAMOUS CORRESPONDENT

Perhaps no man at the recent repuo-
llcan state convention was more often
pointed out and more spoken of, than
William e. CARTS, the famous corre-
spondent of the Chicago Record Herald
He Is short squat man, with Cleve-
land neck and an engaging smile We
were told fifty times or more that
There is a man for YOU He may not
look like much but my eye how deep
he is. He can look as blank.as a ''tie d''
ticket after the fayorite wins, but he
sees and knows everything that is go
ing on, all that is in the hearts,of men.
All, rare one Ia Curtis of the Record
Herald"
The convention fairly held it's breath
when the Record Herald came next
day, There was grand rush for the
paper and there on the first page was
the article signed by the famous CORE
spondent,
And such tommy-rot A gay and
sprightly wit galloped through the
column with all the fantastic grace of
an elephants tread. Bouquets of so
strong an odor that they must have
been offensive even to the recipients,
and a grasp of the affairs of the conven-
tion like ten-year-old's account of a

A MATTER OF HISTORY.

The Bulletin with an erudition and
an historical accuracy most surprising,
speaks of Alexander Hamilton as an
"aristocrat and tory" 1t was Hamil-
ton whose speechesand phamplets turn
ed the tide in New York in favor of in
dependence. 1t was Hamilton who was
one of Washington's chief advisors dur
ing the dreary days of the revolution.
1t was Hamilton who was named as one
of the most daring and brave of the
officers of the patriot army. But the
Bulletin has branded him a tory. 1t
will now be in order for that paper to
write an historical novel giving a
thrilling account of how Hamilton as
sassinated that brilliant co-worker and
and fellow-partisan of Thomas Jeffer-
son, Mr.. Aaron Burr.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1903-07-08

The state of things at the court house
is black enough without exaggeration
of any kind. The REVIEW has tried
to be extremely careful to print moth
ing but the truth in this regard. As
the democrats have everything in their
own hands, it is at times difficult for
us to obtain as accurate information
as we might wish. For this reason the
REVIEW wishes to correct misstate-
ment nnintentionally made in its last
issue. We are informed that in the
April bill presented by the Sheriff,
deduction was made of fees for
commitments and discharges, but that
such deduction has not been made. for
the six months ending Jan. lst, 1903
The REVIEW based it's statement on
what was thought to be excellent au-
thority, but finding itself mistaken, it
hastens, without even having its at
tention called to the matter by those
interested to make this correction The
REVIEW does not wish to be unfair to
any county officer; it asks only that
they iveup to the law and stop vast
ing the peoples money. The fact re-
mains that the Sheriff has been lille
gally paid number of hundred dollars
and that the money has not been return
ed to the people.

two, and stated briefly they are as

two, and stated briefly they are as
follows.
Democracy favors:
A tariff for revenue only, eliminating
protection entirely
The destruction of large corporations
The republicans favor.
A protective tariff which shall be
adjusted from time to time to avoid
inequalities and injustices
The adequate regulation of large
corporations
There are other Issues, democracy
inveighs against expansion and the
republicans inveigh against the sup
preston of the suffrage right, but
nevertheless the tariff and the trusts
remain as the two issues that will in
terest the voters this fall
We believe the above is fair and
candid statement of party differences
and we make it as fair preliminary
to the discussions of the next few
months.

"THEIR HIGH PURPOSE

1T makes no difference to the emOcratS of

their purpose is to elect county officers.
The above is the gist of labored
clumsily crawled onto the anti-Bryan
platform.
The admission is to say the least
ingenious, candid and honest. The
Review has said the same thing many
times always to be met with heated
denial We are glad indeed at this
time to have the Bulletins. voluntary
admission of the truth. 1t clears the
atmosphere considerably.
we will understand hereafter that

recent exposures of looseness in county
affairs it is possible that in the Craw-

any rate, according to the Bulletin il

THE STATE CONVENTION

The republicans of Iowa had splen-
! did convention and love-feast at Des
Moines last week. AS there was but
one contest, the delegates spent the
preliminary day in visiting old friends
and new. 1t was real pleasure to
meet 40 many representative men from
all parts of the state.
! One pleasing feature of the conven-
Ition was the unanimity shown by the
Tenth District delegates where they
I felt their interests we're concerned,
Kossuth and Emmett; Palo Alto and
! Pocahontas; Webster and Hamilton;
Calhoun and Crawford, and in fact all
the district, kept where previous pied
ges prevented, pulled together, for al
most the first tin'ein the history of The
Big Tenth. 1t was a splendid example
Eof District unity and shows that the
republicans of the Tenth are almost
q unit.
The selection of Mr.. Riggs OF Keo-
] kuk county for superintendent, is &C
/ knowledged by all to have been an ex-
| cellent one. Mr. Barrett, the present
superintende mt, has no enemies
but the republicans wisely decided not
| to break the three term rule. Craw
! ford county voted almost solidly with
the Tenth District for M. Adams for
this Office. but as far as we can learn,
I all the delegates were satisfied with
! the nomination.
] The denomination of the other Off
GERS met with the hearty approval OF
all, and the unanimity was not mat
/ ter of the printed record onlv
The platter m while not radical. was
I not evasive or meaningless mass Of
! words. Mr.. Cummins may be NOR,
radical than the platform and Messrs
! Cousins and Lacy may be ''stand-pat
i tiers" from 'Stand-pattville," but the
! majority of the republicans of Iowa
] stand betwixt and between these rad
icals, and their sentiments are fairly
! expressed in the platform.
Geo. ID. Perkins made wonderful
speech as temporary chairman, fully
+! coming up to the expectations of hi:
most admiring friends.
! Hon Nate Kendall as permanent
1 chairman made the best convent u
presiding officer we have ever seen
He should be made the permanen
chairman.
We were pleased to note the higt
esteem in which Judge Conner ap
/ peared to be held by the delegates from
all over the Tenth District. Our Con
gresham seems to be reaping the re
ward of the eminently fair and impair
| republicans of the district.
