NEW YEAR INSPIRATION.

The new year ouens hopefully, with
confidence in the future as the chief
fountain of inspiration. This in itself
is a source of strength not to be con-
sidered lightly, whether one has merely
brawny arms and fixed purpose or is
backed by reserves that come from
past success. Fortunately for the
country many are fortified in the pres
ent and ready for aggressive action in
the future by the results of prosper
GUS year. The industrial field is invit-
ing and capital and labor are ready to
join hands for new conquests. Like an
army of choppers that enters a forest
partially cleared, they are ready to
make axes ring with the music that
foreshadows in time fields smiling with
harvests.
The industrial and financial situation
IA such as to inspire efforts in all fields
of endeavor, whether in the material or
intellectual or spiritual world. Hope
may we'll take the place of doubt, and
even those who have been unfortunate
may find the cheer of their more fortu-
nate fellows aids to future effort.
This is the period when many bust
ness men are closing up accounts and
taking thought for the future, when
plans are considered or matured for
- offn
AS it is incumbent upon each one to
consider his work in relation to all 9th
err interests, the Republican,
speaking of its own field, plans to give
its readers better paper than ever,
one that will be equally welcome in the
city and on the rural route, In the home
and In the business circles, a journal
that will be up-to-date in serving all
interests. Its constant aim will be to
print a good paper every day. 1t Is
now equipped as never before to give
Its readers q paper brimful of news
from all the world. and one that is es-
pecially devoted to Iowa and Iowa in
terests.
with this f,im in view, the Times
Republican extends to every reader the
compliments of the season. Happy
New Year.

To run the old political machine in
Iowa, are now making desperate at

AS of Old their methods are not strict
ly honorable In fact, the Blythe gang
was never known to stand up and make
a square-toed fight. The organs of
the defunct gang of political guerrilias
are now attacking Governor Cummins
With a broadside of Misrepresentation.
They say he is not a republican; that
his tariff revision policy is against the
time honored principles and traditions
of the republican party, and that II he
persists in them he Will disrupt the
party. Governor Cumnins does go
farther than the party leaders nave IN
the past, but the real leaders In the
party of today agree with him and fa-
vor tariff revision along the lines he
suggests. Blythe ct al. think they see
n chance to make another factional
fight in the party in Iowa. and hope to
profit by it. They realize that Governor
Cummins is strong with the people. and
that unless they can stir up some trou-
BILE and cause the party to split. there
is no show for any of their crowd to
get to the front. a glance Mt the list

TO TnwaRr LAND GRADERS.

While the; people Of the great west
have been congratulating themselves
over the good policy adopted by con-
sress In providing for the irrigation of
western lands by the expenditure of
s-.<sfions Of dollars for that purpose, and
s..yflile preliminary steps are in progress
to carry the law into effect. another
phase of the subject has come to the
surface of disquieting nature. The
corresponding secretary of the National
Irrigation Association at Washington
states that now the great question is
to save these lrrigable lands from spec
ulators. While the people of the coun-
try are complacently sitting back, walt
ing for the national irrigation act to go
into operation and populate the deserts,
he declares, the land grabbers and spec
ulators are absorbing, by fair means or
foul and as rapidly es possible, every
acre of good land which there is any
possibility Of irrigatlng.
He believes the national irrigation
act is as well guarded against specula-
ton as 1t was possible to frame law
under the existing conditions; but the
men who have had the interests of the
west and the nation at heart pointed
out, at the time of the passage of the
act, that to safeguard the public domain
and insure it's reservation for actual
settlers the desert land law and the
Communication clause of the homestead
, law must be repealed. The activities
OF the land sharks since the passage of
the irrigation laws show the necessity
for their repeal forthwith. Under these
laws millions OF acres of the nations
best remaining lands have been, during
the last year, absorbed by big stock
concerns, and fraudulently acquired at
that.
present session of congress to secure
the repeal Of these laws. Several bills
looking to such an end have been in
troduced. and they will be urged. Need
less to say, too, they will be urgently
opposed by those interests which wish
no interference with their schemes for
gaining control of as much land and
water in the west as possible.
The country will hope that congress
will give due attention to this subject
land thwart any effort of land grabbers
to get in upon the ground floor to the
exclusion Of genuine settlers.

HAWAIIAN FISHERMEN.
Hands ard Teeth Play Part In
Capturing the Octopus.

Capturing the Octopus.
The native fisherman of Hawaii,
while an adept with the hook and line,
does not scorl to use his hands to cap
tnre his prey when occasion arises.
The bonito is the fish most generally
caught with hook and line, and as the
hook used is of mother of pearl, made
from the shell of mollusk now quite
rare, which glistens with an rides
cence similar to the simmer from the
scales of the smaller kinds of fish on
which the bonito lives, no bait is need
ed The barb of these hooks is Of
bone, and two tufts of hogs bristleS
attached at right angles to the barbed
end keep the inner side up, so that the
hook lies fiat on the surface OF the
sea. When likely fishing ground
has been reached, the fisherman, stand
ing up in the canoe, casts out his line
violently, so that the hook falls with
slap on the water and attracts the
attention of the fish. The line and
hook are then drawn rapidly toward
the boat as though it were a spoon,
and the bonito, taking the hook to be
q small fish, rises to it Immediately.
1t is fortunate for the fisherman that
he has to waste no time in batting his
hook, for this method Of casting fright
ems the school, and the fish disappear
within ten or fifteen minutes.
An ingenious plan by which very
large fish are caught is by planting
long pole on the shore in such posi-
ton as to cause 1t to lean decidedly to-
ward the water. On the top Of this
a bell is arranged so that it can swing
clear of the top of the pole. A block
and fall are also attached to the pole
close to the top, and long line, with
baited hook at the end, is run through
the block and allowed to float out to
sea, the land end being tied In a slip
knot to the bottom Of the pole AS soon
as fish is hooked it's struggles cause
the bell to ring whereupon the fisher
man runs to the pole, loosens the slip
knot and plays the fish until he has
drowned it, when it is hauled ashore.
In fishing for octopus the native dives
to the bottom and with q stick pokes
around in the small holes in which the
octopus lives. When he touches one,
1t seizes the stick and allows him to
draw it out Of the hole. When he
reaches the surface, the native grabs
It with his hands and bites into the
head. thus killing the animal

many.

[Omaha Bee.].

L
There is no room TO doubt that the
Monroe doctrine is exceedingly unpop-
.ular with the German nation, however
the government by inference may have
recently recognized it. The immense
expansion of German foreign trade has
raised visions of colonial empire which
have pointed toward South America.
With a large German population al
ready in some of the states, it is natural
that the aggressive spirit of the mother
nation should be dissatisfied with All in
ternational rule whose maintenance
bars it from the chance of territorial
acquisition in whole continent. The
German people would hail with delight
a positive movement on the part OF
united Europe to annul the Monroe doc
trine, but there is not the slightest pos
sibility of such a movement at present,
nor is it probable that it can ever be
contaminated.

Noticing the attitude of an onnonen+

publican says: Possibly our old time
friend will some day get over the shiy-
