Professor E. Couon de Jumonvie. author of
several books and teacher of several languages,
has burst forth into panegyric on America in
general and New-York in particular. which he
publishes in q small ten-page booklet. He treats
America in prose, bur Manhattan compels him
20 verse. His sense of rhyme is somewhat rudi-
mentary but his enthusiasm is well developed
at times even complex. may be judged from
the following extracts:
Manhattan. thy name before 1t was
Should indeed have remained, for York has
RecalPd thine dependence and obedience
TO England that would force thine allegiance
Thy electric and elevated tramways
That relieve the horse in many ways.
Thy colleges and millionaires' mansions
Are so many samples and many
Why Europe should look with attention
To Americas strides and ambition.

SHAW's PACE KILLING.

Vinton Eagle.-Gov. Cummins will
soon be inaugurated for the second
time. The Eagle would advise him NOT
to live as strenuous life as he has the
past two years. He simply wears him
self out trying to fill all the engage
ments that come to him. All oratorical
governors are always in demand but
there is limit to what a man can do
and there is no question but Governor
Cummins has been trying to do too
much the past two years. Iowa has
never had but one governor to whom
public speaking seemed pastime and
that was Governor Shaw. He was the
most versatile man that ever occupied
the chair. He seems to be at home
on every topic and to him it was no
labor to talk. The average man, even
if he possesses the gift of oratory must
needs to study what he intends to say
upon the subject of his address and
besides he must eXpend a good deal
of physical effort, consequently at the
close of speech he is physically ex-
hausted. Governor Shaw never ex-
ponds nervous energy in an address
and consequently at its close he does
not have to spend the next few hours
recuperating.

THE BUSINESS RECOVERY.

Cedar Rapids Republican.-Every-
one seems to be satisfied now that the
country will go ahead in the ways of
prosperity. For sonns time, especially
during the closing months of last year,
there was a feeling that there might
be hard and panicky times ahead for
the country. But there seems to have
been a complete recovery from those
fears and also from the conditions that
led up to those fears.
The new year has opened with brisk
business in all the great staples and
with the resumption of the operations
in the great steel and other industries.
The orders for nearly all kinds of
building material are large enough to
keep many plants running during the
rest of the year.
The country is to be congratulated
in pulling through what threatened to
be a dangerous period of liquidation.
When 1t is considered that high prices
and wild speculations We're the rule a
year sor so ago and that the country
has escaped from both and is now do
ing business, for the most part, on a
rational basis the recovery is some
thing simply short of marvellous. 1t
shows the wonderful recuperative
powers in American affairs

ON NEWSPAPER ENGLISH.

VI all the accusations made against
the American press, the one oftenest
reiterated that it is guilty of corrupt
ing the English language. So much
has been said of newspaper style,
newspaper mannerisms and newspaper
crudities that many people come to
look upon the productions appearing in
| the daily papers of the country as of
an ordinary degree of excellency. But
Daniel has come unto Judgment, and
1t is fitting that newspaper writers
should get all the comfort possible out
of his remarks. This Daniel is found
in the person of Thomas R. Lounsbury,
professor of English in Yale universi-
ty. In an article appearing in Harper's
Monthly for January he treats this
subject under the head SIS English
Becoming Corrupt?" He says:
During the last hundred years the
agency which has been the favorite
one to accuse of corrupting the Ian
guage is the newspaper. Exactly why
| this particular form of literary produc-
ton should be deemed responsible for
the ever-impending ruin is not very
| clear. The writers for the press, at
least for the leading journals, are gen
orally a picked body of men. They
suffer indeed from the necessity of
producing work under the pressure of
instant demand To counterbalance
this disadvantages, they are, as rule,
in earnest. They are partisans, and
sometimes bitter partisans."
But the professor has something
more to say for the cause for which,
it may be surmised, to be due to the
fact that his home is in the midst of
the New England newspapers. In
his next sentence he adds:
"In consequence they are usually in
a state of wrath against something or
somebody No one needs to be told
that few things conduce more than
wrath to impart clearness, directness
and energy to expression, and these
are qualities that contribute to purity
of speech, and not to it's corruption"
The professor is a staunch supporter
of the newspaper, and should be CIV
en- some mark of appreciation for his
| words. Professor Lounsbury may rest
assured that the newspaper fraternity
will fall to within the nextlfew months
and take I'D again the work of the
campaign With such encouragement
as the professor has given, he may ex-
pect that they will introduce few
more expressive words into our Ian
guage.

THEN WHY A CHANGE.

Marion Register.-The Burlington
Gazette (dem) admits IN a New Year
Year editorial that I'VE have had a
year of bountiful production" and
have had no serious setbacks in our
prosperity" 1t also observes that the
people ARE reasonable well satisfied
with the conditions of things" and
that "the masses are more secure in
the enjoyment of their rights than ever
before"
If there have been mo serious set
backs in our prosperity" if the people
are reasonably well satisfied with
conditions" and if the masses are
more secure in the enjoyment of their
rights than ever before" as this in
fuential Iowa democratic newspaper
says, then why should anyone favor a
change.
There have been democratic admin
istrations in the past but according to
the Gazette the people We're not as
secure in their rights" then as now.
and that the people are satisfied and
the country prosperous goes without
saying. Then what reason for the
turmoil of bitterly fought presiden-
tial campaign? What excuse, even, for
demanding a change?

terms to the purchasers were given.
Each buyer might have settled nv a
per cent note, but of the $4,000 more
than $1,000 was paid in cash and dis
counted. Putting the coats and the
cash together they SUPPORT the Powe-
snlek correspondents fur coat theory.
1t takes money to buy fur coats and
cattle.
When one stops to think about it,
that was a prosperous gatherings The
$50 fur coats represented an OUTLAY of
$4,000 for coats alone. OF the $50
farmers present, at least $50 owned
their farms and 160 acres of Poweshiek
land is worth, at SIS per acre, $4,000,
in fact the farm where the sale
was held, was sold at sos an acre.
The land holdings of these $50 repre-.
sented a gross sum of $500, 900. Each
had driven to the sale with a ..rig,"
which. horses, vehicle. harness and
robes, would represent an investment
$500. One hundred and fifty of these
totals 100000. 1t is likely that each
one of the $50 could hold a sale of
the one at which they were purchas-
ers, and $2,700 multiplied $50 times,
equals $405, 900. Bank accounts and
items not rendered would bring the
total property valuation of the $50
farms under consideration, past
past Cnree millions, considerable
property interests to be gathered at
country sale and especially when but
three fifths of the entire number Of
farmers in attendance have been
reckoned with.
Poweshiek is one of the high coun-
ties of the state, where the wet sea-
sons have done small harm. 1t is high
~ prosperous. One Grinnell bank,
from which there has been withdrawn
recently 100000 of deposits, has coll
lected an equal amount paid in by
farmers in settlement notes. OF
course there are counties in the state
where conditions are not equal to
those in Poweshiek and farmers
drowned out by the wet weather OF
the last two years are hard up" This
pinch is only temporary, however, and
a dry season or two will put the fur
coats and bank balances of north CEN
trail Iowa on an equality with those
of Poweshiek. The Iowa farmer is,
on the average, highly prosperous and
his outlook is for continued prosper
ity.
