IIoWa, making campaign speeches.
Speaking Of the campaign there he
said:

thru Iowa. He has made an excellent
executive, so excellent. indeed that state
issues are never mentioned. So well has
the state progressed under republican
management that no fault can be found.
The tariff is the main issue. The demo-
cratic state platform declares for g. tariff
for revenue only. The democrats would
like to select a schedule here and there
and discuss that, but as "a tariff for
revenue only is but another name for
free trade, the republicans have much
the better of the fight. All they need

dark period was the gloomiest in our

forget the appalling disaster brought into
existence by the last democratic admin

I at all times urged the republicans Of
Iowa to do their very best, as the battle
was only preliminary to the one of 1904;
that Iowa is honored with two cabinet
officers, and should on this account roll
up a big majority, showing her appre-

that the big victory would encourage our
party and discourage our enemies, and
besides be an Endorsement Of the SPLEEN

and encourage him in the fearless battle
for the people that he is so heroically
waging. I found President Roosevelt to
be very popular. The mention Of his
name always provoked the greatest ap-
plause. The people Of Iowa are for him.

ZIONIST SOCIETIES MERGE
Organizations Of Several Congregations to
Be United,

A meeting of the prominent Hebrews Of
the city was held in AleXander's hall last
evening to consolidate the several Zionist
societies of the city. There are now seven
of these societies in Minneapolis, one for
each jewish congregation, and it is the
purpose to unite these under one head
in order to carry on the work more ef-
fectually.
The Jews are uniting the Zionists' or
CARNATIONS in all the large cities Of Eu-
rope and America in an effort to swell
the fund for purchasing Palestine from
the Turkish government. They say that
the entire country can be purchased for
$4,000, 000 and over half of this amount
is already pledged. The remainder they
hope to raise within two years.
A committee of ten persons was ap-
pointed at the meeting last night to draw
up the articles Of consolidation, and meas

cieties to come into the organization also.
At the next meeting, which will be held
In about a week, definite plans will be
adopted for raising money for the inter-

partment of agrostology one Of his
best experts to study means for Grad

raisers from all over the country are
appealing to Secretary Wilson for
means for stopping the spread Of the
plant.
Loco is described as being like the
pea vine, growing from 6 to IL inches
long, with white blossoms. It has q
strong, woody root, and so far the
only known means Of killing it out is
by digging up the root, and even this
is successful at only certain seasons.
This method is almost impossible on
the great western ranges, containing

Yam Colt Not Likely To Be Reap
pointed, 1t Is SAID.
IFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington, Dec. 1S.-It is not likely that
Postmaster Van Colt, whose term expires in
December, 1904, will be reappointed. Those por-
lions Of the Bristow and Conrad Bonaparte re-
ports concerning the administration of the New
York Postofice reflect Mr. Van Colts ad-
ministratioE.
1t is probable. however. that unless further
charges are mazda. he Will be permitted to hold
the place until the expiration OF his term. Pos
tai inspectors are again Investigating the New
York POstoffice and, it is reported, are asking
many extremely embarrassing questions con-
corning the conduct of the office, with a view of
placing the responsibility for the maladminis-
tration, if such there be, where it properly be-
longs.
Several weeks will undoubtedly be required to
complete the thorough investiga ton of all the
departments of the New-York Office, and on the
report then submitted Mr. Van Colts tenure of
Office will largely. If not wholly. depend. 1t is
possible that additional irregularities will be
disclosed when the inspectors probe to the bot
ton various charges which have not heretofore
received their serious attention. Should these IT.
regularities be considered sufficiently grave to
warrant the assumption that they could not
have existed without the knowledge of Mr.. Van
Colt, and that If they were known to him and
not suppressed. he was responsible for the mall
administration in the affairs OF his Office, then,
it Is believed in official circles here he would
not be permitted to serve out his term.
