Presidential Forecast.

The Advocate presents a presiden-
tial forecast table which evidently
suits ii much better than the one we
gave last week, as it gives Parker ia,
Roosevelt 1872 and leaves 100 doubtful.
From these 1t expects Parker to get
enough to be elected. OF course it is
easy to construct table to elect
either candidate; but to make one
which, in the light of past history and
the present conditions, will be reason
ably correct, is different PROPOSE
ton. Such one, we contend, cannot
be made that will show much chance
for Parker.
The Advocate takes Nebraska out
of the republican column, and puts it
in the democratic column. Now in
the last six presidential elections Ne
braska has gone republican five times
and democratic once, that once being
for its own citizen, Bryan, in '96. 1t
was the free silver and populistc
wave that swept it that year. DemOc
racy and populism were united there
at that time. No one will contend
that those conditions prevail there
now. Even Bryan failed to carry it
in 1900. Is Parker stronger in Ne
braska than Bryan? Well, hardly.
1t takes Colorado from the doubtful
and puts it in the democratic column.
Colorado has been republican until
populism and free silver became
strong. AS Parker Is not much of
champion OF either, it Is not reason
able to suppose he is extra strong in
Colorado. In 1902 Colorado was car
ried by the republican candidate for
congrestman-at-large, receiving a
plurality of 800 votes. AS this is the
last national election held in the
state and as local conditions there are
not particularly favorable to the can
didate of Belmont, Hill, Rockafellow
ct al, we see no reason for consider
ing Colorado a sure democratic
state.
1t takes West Virginia from the
doubtful and puts it in the democratic
column. Now West Virginia has
gone republican in the last two presi-
Dental elections. Both its United
States senator's aud every one of its
five members of congress are republi-
can. At its last election of nation
al character, 1902, it went republican
+ on congressman by 1873. The claim
that it Is sure democratic has no
foundation except that Grandpa Davis
and his barrel are expected to carry
| it.
1t took Illinois, California and
Utah out of the republican column
and put them in the doubtful column.
Every one of these states went repub-
lican four years ago and every one is
safely republican now.
1t left Iowa in the republican col
umn.
Nothing but general landslide or
the sweep of a tidal wave of demo-
cratic sentiment would bring about
the conditions the Advocate predicts.

NO. 81
Interest on State Funds.
from the Des Moines Capital }

The state of Iowa received interest
amounting to 1893 20 for the month of
July on the daily deposits at interest
in the various state repositories. This
interest accrued under the new law
passed by the last Legislature provid-
ing that all state monies on deposit
should draw interest. This law went
into effect on publication and has
been y, operation altogether two and
a half months. The rate of interest
fixed by the executive council was
per cent, the minimum under the new
Jaw. This brought in for the first
month and half the sum Of 81 ,260. Oh,
making total of So, 653. % realized by
the state since the law began its opera
ton.
At the same average the state would
at the end OF the first year have realiz-
ed S3l 200. This is clear gain and is
simply so much money in the state
treasury, inasmuch as heretofore the
same funds have been on deposite, but
have never drawn interest. There is
now something over million dollars
in state repositories. Since the new
interest law went into effect the amount
at interest has averaged about the
same, varying slightly from day to
laV

The public press remains singularly
free from expressions favorable to
either side of the Russian-Japanese
war now prevailing. That the pre-
vailing opinion is favorable to Japan
is conceded. It's proximity to the
territory in dispute seems to give it
more rights there. Then Japan is
more progressive and more liberal.
Russia's oppression of her own
people and her illiberal government
and her suppression of free thought
and free speech, tends to make Amer
leans sympathise with Japan.

Taken Win CranpA,

VIM. Kirmse, u member o; the bridge
gang working near Littleport was
taken suddenly Ill Thursday night
with cramps and a kind OF cholera.
His case was so severe that he had to
have the other members Of the crew
wait upon him and Mr.. Clifford was
called and consulted. He told them
he had medicine In the form of
Chamberlain's Cholic, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy that he thought
would help him out and accordingly
several doses were administered with
the result that the fellow was able to
be around the next day. The incident
speaks quite highly of Mr.. Gifrord's
medicines. --Elkader, (Iowa) Argus.

S. b. Morissey, the "reorganized"
chairman of the Iowa democratic CEN
trial committee, gets himself inter-
viewed about every week in the Regis
ter and Leader. We wonder how the
good old-line democrats OF Shelby
county like to see "Steve" running
things, after his first attempt TO run
the county convention in Harlan this
year. "Why man, he doth bestride
the narrow world like a COLOSSUS
and we petty men walk under his
huge legs" "Steve" has already
wiped the republican majority off the
map, defeated several republican
nominees for congress, and Is busy
just now selecting few assistants to
sweep up the debris. p. S.-None
but "re-organized" assistants need
apply. Shelby Co. Republican.

Hon l.. l.. De Lano, of Atlantic, is
getting quite boom for the empty
honor of democratic nomination for
governor for next year, or the next,
according as to whether the biennial
election amendment passes. While
there Is little more prospect of demo-
crat being elected governor of Iowa
at the next gubernatural election than
there is of Mississippi or Texas going
republican, yet nomination for that
office even by a minority party is
some honor and distinction, and not
bad thing for one engaged in the
practice Of law. Mr.. De Lano Is u
man of ability and is courageous
fellow. His strong attachment to the
old democratic party is his greatest
failing.

We recently heard an advocate of
christian socialism talking and among
his other statements he said 1t Is re-
markable how few persons there are
who really think, that we nearly all
let others do the real thinking and we
follow. While this is true, yet ones
falling in with new theories and OPP
posing old institutions of society may
not be an indication that one Is think
ing, but may only mean that in his
confusion he is captivated with some
beautiful and impractical theories
advanced by others.

1t is u pity that some plan cannot be
devised to prevent strikes. They are
most foolish way OF settling differ
ences. They are not only so expen-
sive to the two sides engaged that the
expense is out of all proportion to the
amount involved in controversy, but
the strike imposes on great many
innocent outside parties. Just now
the Iowa stock men are suffering be-
cause Of the packers strike in Chi
cago. Stock that ought to go on the
market has to be kept too long, and
loss follows.
