That No instruction Order.

Andrew Carnegie's threat, to fur
nish all the money that can be used
to protect Roosevelt from defeat by
a trust made candidate at st. Louis,
does not end the struggle on the
part of the trusts 5..f... a;
The order, "Send an uninstructed
delegation to the st. Louis eonven-
tion," was issued from the trust
headquarters in New York, and is
now being echoed by every trust
agent, every Wall Street manipulate
or, every 1906 deserter from the
democratic party, and every repub-
lican organ that is required to do
the bidding Of the trusts or. lose
standing in that trust ridden organ
ization.
The object of the conspirators'
order is quite clear. They know
that if the wishes Of the rank and
file Of the democratic party, govern;
no trust protector can be nominated
at St. Louis. For that reason they
will stife, If theysem, tifs.voieeeo

And again, it would be a great
victory for predatory. wealtls;: sif, & il
could secure the nomination Of
some man at st. Louis, who enjoys
the confidence Of the trusts. That
would put off till some future time
the inevitable conflict between
democracy and plutocracy. In an
open fair battle between these forces
democracy will win, and that &C.
counts for the desperate struggle
now being made to head off a tria'
Of strength.
We have faith in the masses OF
the people, and that faith justifies
the belief that the representative
of the common people will be nun
erous enough at the st. Louis con
-vention to-. overthrow and sdefea

Our, Des Moines Letter.
From Our Special Correspondent

The Thirtieth General Assembly
grows more and more interesting as
it becomes more than evident that.
its days are numbered The Sitting
Committee haveworked busily and
of the hundreds of bills that remain-
ed Of those which had been introduce
ed, thay have picked out what they
considered the most important and
have presented them TO the Senate.
In this way great number Of bills
have been disposed Of. :.
The most exciting event Of this
week was consummated on Saturday
just before noon when by a vote Of
20 to 26, it was voted not to CON
cur in the House Resolution in
recommending the pardon Of Sarah
Kuhn. This case has been most in
teresting and has aroused much
sympathy. A young women and
beautiful, married to a man twice
her years, who was a cripple and
in poor health happened to be rid
ing with her husband on a country
road at the time lie drank some beer
into which powdered strychnine had
been placed. Because Of the cir
cumstances surrounding her, sus-
picion fell Oh the young woman and
she is now serving a life sentence in
the penitentiary at Anamosa. The
committee on Pardons in the House
voted for her pardon, the Senate
against it. Opinion is divided in,
regard to the girl and on Friday
evening and Saturday morning, the
Senate was crowded with people
anxious to hear the outcome. The
time was occupied with speeches by
Senator's Bruce, Gilliland, Court
right, Dowell and others in behalf Of
the young woman, by Smith Of Nit
chell, Turner and Saunders who
were in favor Of allowing the deci-
sion Of the Court to stand. The
pardon failed to pass the Senate so
Sarah Kuhn must continue to serve
out her life sentence for the murder
of her husband.
Tho opponents of the Board of
Control for the Educational Institu-
lions of the State scored victory
Wednesday when the House voted
to submit the bill, which had al
ready passed the Senate, to the
judiciary Committee. This Com
mittee Immediately settled matters
in a meeting held after the House
adjourned and now the board is a
dead letter for the next two years.

Carnegie Offers Millions to Defeat the
Schemes of Predatory
Wealth.

Carnegie may not have any better
title to his millions than some Of the
rest Of them, but lie is making bet
ter use Of what her has than the
average possessor of i'll gotten mon
ey. It's well known that the own
ers;of predatory wealth are not full
ly satisfied with Roosevelt He al
lowed one case to be prosecuted UNI
der the Sherman Act, and that makes
them long for the return Of the good
old days when Cleveland and Mark
Hanna stood between them and
punishment for their crimes. They
have organized under the leader
ship of August Belmont, and
have commenced using all the mon
ey they can place to induce the
democrats to nominate some man
like Cleveland at St. Louis.
Encouraged by the success of
Mark Hanna in 1896 they calculate
that, with a trust protector as the
nominee of one Of the great national
parties, money would do the rest.
But conditions have changed dur
ing the past twelve years, and the
conspirators have already bumped
| up against trouble on all sides. But
that which troubles them most just
at present is the way Andrew Carne-
gle is acting. Mr.. Carnegie has not
alone refused to join their conspir-
acy, but he has come out and pub.
licly announced that he will furnish
President Roosevelt's campaign com
mittee with all the money it can use
to defeat the conspirators.

81 the State University who were
opposing the bill, this may be re-
garded as victory for that institu-
tiop, Another victory scored by
the friends of this school was the
passage of a bill by the House pro-
viding for Psychological Labora-
tory to be located at Iowa City. One
of the strong bills of the Session
passed the House this week, having
passed both houses without a dis
senting vote. This bill it is con-
fidently expected will materially
improve conditions among the
Juvenile criminal class. For the Court
may according to this bill use its
discretion and instead Of inflicting on
a child-who has committed crime from
Ignorance rather than criminal in
tent, along prison sentence, it may
take the child away from vicious
surroundings and by placing him
in home where his environment is
good and wholesome, may reclaim
the child and make of him an up
right and lawabiding citizen. Such
a law is worthy and is deserving
a thorough trial.
10 facilitate legislation, the Sen
ate decided to appoint a Sitting
Committee, and under their manage
ment. business has proceeded
rapidly. This Committee consists
of the following: Durham Of
Delaware, Jamison of Clarke,
Smith of Mitchell, Molsherry Of
Louisa, Crossley of Madison, Court
right Of Blackhawk and Wilson of
Clinton.
A bill that has consumed probab-
ly more outside time than, any 9TH
Ell measure this Session was report
ed out by the Sitting Committee on
Tuesday morning. II is the cele-
brated Drainage Bill, the original
Of which was introduced by Senator
| Hartshorn Of Wright. 1t is bill
for an act to promote the public
health. convenience and welfare by
providing for the location, establish
ment: and construction of bitches,
drains, or water courses and pre-
scribing the method of so doing.
1t gives the Board Of Supervisors
power to straighten or widen natur-
al water courses, to establish drain
|age districts, to construct levees and
to do other things conducive to pub,
lie utility and health, the drainage
of surface waters from agricultural
lands being deemed such a benefit.
The bill goes on to provide that
when land is injured by too much
water and is therefore unfit for
I cultivation, a petition signed by one
Y or more Of the land owners may be
sent to the supervisors who may
then appoint an engineer to invest
igate the matter, to proceed to rem
edy the defect if he considers ii
wise and to assess the costs to those
whose lands are benefited by the
improvement. AS this is measure
that is earnestly asked for by land
owners all over the state and as
special committee had spent several
/, weeks in night session in behalf o.
the bill it was considered a safe
measure to place upon the statute
books, and it accordingly passed
I both Houses with very little dis.
, cussion. The Senate passed it Tues
