agitation of the last campaign is bear
ing fruit, and tbs sincerity of the dem
ocratic party on the question of econ.
omy is to be put to test in the extent
and nature of it's acqulescence in this
policy of retrenchment.
A. F. Dawson, congressmap-elect
from the second Iowa district, and
formerly private secretary of Senator
Allison has been recipient of much
cordial congratulation since his arrival
mere few days ago. A brilliant con-
gressional career is being predicted for
this talented young man from the
second district. The loss of Judge
Wade to the House is regarded by the
minority as one of the most serious of
its misfortunes in the late disastrous
campaign. By virtue of his intellect
ual endowments and his attachments as
a jurist, as we'll as account of his ora
torical powers and personal popularity,
he is rapidly stepping to the front in
the democratic councils of the nation.
| While he went under in republican
landslide, his home county. johnson,
showed him the respect of being the
only county in Iowa this year to go
democratic, which fact should, in some
measure, assuage the disappointment
of defeat.
Congress will adjourn on December
2lst for the holiday vacation. and ii
will re-assemble on the 4th of January
The agitation for an extra session in
the spring has practically ceased. 1t is
quite generally assumed that an extra
session is to be called for next fall
instead. There is strong movement
on foot to enlarge the powers of the
Inter State Commission, and this has
superseded to some extent the interest
formerly centered upon tariff revision.
There is growing sentiment in favor
of granting an extension of the iuris.
diction of the Commission and an en-
hancement of its powers, as this is re.
garded as a more efficacious method fol-
dealing with the trust evil than the
plans heretofore proposed by the
various antitrust agitators. 1t is
claimed that such legislation will be
the means of greatly relieving the
small producer and shipper, which is
obviously true provided they have any
real grievances along this line.

Intelligence and military knowledge
General Grant said they were among
the best of their kind in the world and
quite equal to good West Pointers.
Many of them are wealthy men be-
longing to the leading noble families
of japan, but they live in a simple,
Spartan style True to their Samurai
traditions, they regard luxury as effem-
mate and despise foreign officers who
waste their time over social duties" in
stead of learning their profession. The
Japanese officer is quite satisfied to live
on dried or sailed fish and rice, like
his men. Princes of the imperial fam
lily did it when they campaigned in
Manchuria during the war with China.
Many of the Russian officers are
equally hardy, if not so abstemious,
for they have received splendid
training in central Asian campaigns
and in outpost pioneer, survey ana eA-
ploring work in Siberia, Tibet th9
Pamirs and Manchuria. 1t is these
men in ali probability who will have
charge of the fighting forces of the
Russians in Manchuria, for Russia's
consistent policy is to employ in Ash
attic wars officers with Asiatic expert
ence.
The officers whose military career
has been confined TO Moscow, st. Pc
tersburg and other cities of European
Russia are men of an entirely differ
ent type Most of them are social
butterflies, and they are held in scorn
by their comrades in central Asia and
Aanchuria, the regions to which ev-
cry Russian officer who is worth his
salt manages to get sent sooner or
later.

A Hard Winter on Farmers.

There is little doubt that I
the residents of the rural communities
of Vermont are enduring hardships as
the result of the unusually severe win
ter, says the Rutland (VtD News. An
evidence of this fact is the report that
fewer cattle are being shipped from
Vermont than for many years as the
result of the extreme difficulty in get
ting the cattle from the remote places
to the railroads. AS many farmers de-
pend to large extent for their winter
revenue upon the sale Of cattle, espe-
cially calves, the fact that they are
unable to get them to market must
make q scarcity of money in many
families.

notable case of the state against Pat

PEOPLE ARE THINKING.

Here is the hot.stuff, dished up
by the Kansas City Times. The
Times is an Independent" sheet,
but it gets at the roots of matters
now and then. Hear it on the
Doodle issue:
Such a letter as that of the Re.
publican nominee for the Legisla-
ture in Shelby county, declaring
his purpose to vote for Mr.. Folk,
shows that the Republicans and
Democrats alike the "plain peo-
pie" of Missouri-are thinking in
this canvass. They cannot be
misled by the usual clap trap and
prejudice of selfish party leaders.
They have grasped the central
pOintiu this contest and they can
not be made to release their hold
by the offer Of side issues.
"The means employed to blacken
the name of Mr.. Folk need not
surprise any oue," declared the
Rev. Mr.. Wood, the Shelby cOun-
ty Republican. THE dust aud
mud in the air were to be expected.
Think for a moment of the Doodle
element in Missouri in both par
ties-its long lease of intrenched
life, its hatred for the man who
exposed it, think of its money and
all its vicious connections, and
when you think of these don't let
the roar of accusations, party
prejudice and hateful J, mali cious
denunciatiOn turn your mind from
the true issue, Doodle"
There is the result of intelligent
thinking. The boodlers and cor
ruptionists and their allies in both
parties are too shrewd to defend
bOodling. They could not for 6
moment say, Yes, we are hood
lers," or We want the boodlers il
our business" Their only possibl,
chance of an effective fight agains
the Prosecutor of BOodlers was t,
obscure the great issue, to try to
"blacken Folks name," to magni
Fly inconsequential charges agains
him, to lie about him and to kicI
up row in his own party. AS tn
Reverend Mr.. Wood said, "Thi
corrupt element in Missouri woul,
turn earth to hell to beat the maj
who has exposed them"
But the people Of Missouri ar
) thinking They know that Fol
has had the courage to do things
; They know that w. j. Stone an
Ed Butler are not creating troubl
for Mr.. Walbridge or any othe
man who has not done things
They expected just the sort of
campaign which is now in prog
ress.

THE REFERENDUM.

The people OF missouri VIII ne
called upon to vote at the next
general election in November on
the constitutional amendment in
cooperating direct legislation by
the initiative aud referendum in
to our constitution of Missouri.
| have often been asked 10y in
telligent aud even well educated
men TO explain by illustration
the exact meaning of these words.
Direct legislation means law,
making directly by the people. 1t
is composed of two parts, the ill.,
initiative and the referendum.
If the initiative were a part of
our constitution, then 10 per cent
of the qualified voters of the state,
which in Missouri would amount
10 about 20, 900 voters, could sign
a petition stating that they want
ed certain law enacted. Theu
under the provisions Of the initia-
tive, If the legislature failed or re-
fused to pass that law, it would
have to be submitted to the vote
of the whole people Of the state,
aud at the next general election it
would be printed on all the ballots
and every voter Of the state rres-
peetive of party, could vote yes vi
10 on that question, and it it was
approved 10y majority it would
become a law directly by the action
of the people and without the con
sent of the legislature or the gov
ernor aud the law would read; BE
it enacted by the sovereign people
of Missouri, instead of: Be it en-
acted 10y the legislative assembly
of Missouri
The referendum is another par
of this same system.
With the referendum in force, il
the legislature passed law tha
was obnoxious TO the people OF
that the people considered unjust
or oppressive or If the Legislature
gave away for little or nothing I
valuable franchise that the peopl,
did not want given away
the 10 per cent Of the voters Of th
state could within 90 days afte
the adjournment of the Legislature
demand that this vote be re
ferred to the vote of the whole PEG
Die Of the state, and under th
provisions of the referendum thi
law would have to be printed o.
all the ballots at the next genera
election. and if disapproved by
majority OF the people then an
then only would it become nul
and void and be marked vetoed b
majority Of the sovereign peopl
Of Missouri
These two principles, the initia
tive and referendum, combined i
