THE 'Standpatters" in Iowa have won
an overwhelming victory in the selection
of delegates to the National Convention.
OF the 20 delegates chosen 20 are Stand
patters and only six Revisionists The res
Olutions adopted at the State Convention
do not mention tariff revision, but declare
that the protective principle found its
highest fulfllment in the Dingley Law
This seems to definitely settle all questions
of tariff revision, as the strongest demand
for that came from Iowa, and was the
subject of no little perturbation in Iowa
political circles. At one time it threatened
the dissolution of the party, and it drove
Speaker Henderson into retirement.

AS WE said last week. the continued
unchecked. unmolested advance of the
japanese army from Feng-Wang Cheng
through the deep gorges and narrow de-
files of the Alpine region between that
place and the railroad, 100 miles to the
westward. would imply that the Russians
had lost all trace of military spirit 1t
was incredible that it should be so. No
matter how demoralized the Russians NAV
have been in their retreat from the Yalu,
it could hardly be otherwise than that
some Russian Colonel or Brigadier, if no
higher officer. would gather enough spirit
to stop in a highly advantageous DO
sitiOn and beat back head of one
Of the widely-separated japanese col
| umns. The army would be desti-
| tute of soIdiership if this did not occur. Il
has occurred. May Is one of the jana
nese columns was struck. apparently about
30 miles west of Feng- Wang Cheng. and
after a few hours of what is described as
severe fighting. driven back the main
body. How severe the fighting was NAV
be judged by the report of the Russians
that they had six Cossacks wounded, two
horses killed. and eight wounded. The
first report was that a japanese army of
10000 had encountered a Russian force
of $1,000 and been forced back after an
obstinate resistance, and St. Petersburg
jubiated. There may have been this
many men in the two forces, but only q
very small proportion Of them could have
been engaged without heavier losses.

ANOTHER fine illustration has been adj

heroic dose of smila similibus-they

condition of semi-cOnscousness, in which
she could vaguely see and hear much thai
was going on. The doctors gravely exam
ined for the location of the supposed tu

was allowed to fall upon the part, al
which the woman groaned as il the knife
was severing her vitals. Finally, the oper
alton was pronounced ended and the parts
were carefully bandaged. Upon returning
to consciousness she found herself in the
presence of two trained nurses, who woul,
not allow her to speak above her breath
or move a muscle. She is now on care

allow her to leave the hospital, cured, il

THE minor political parties are making
ready to enter the campaign. but it is not
probable that they will make as much OF
figure as in past campaigns. The So
cialistic party has already met in National
Convention and nominated Eugene V.
Debs for President. He will get few
scattering votes in all the States, with
most likely no growth over the vote in
1900, which was only 92,142. mainly cast
in Massachusetts, New York, California,
Illinois and Wisconsin. The Socialist La
Dor party will also nominate a National
ticket, which will get even fewer votes.
The Prohibition party seems to he losing
ground rather than gaining since it's vote
in 1900 was only 2O9.O62, against 27O,367
eight years before. 1t may be that the
Populst party will be resurrected. but
this seems unlikely, unless Mr.. Bryan
should take his followers over to that fac
ton. Four years ago the total vote of
these minor parties was only 100000 in a
grand total of about 14.OO0OOO! that u.s.
out Of every 14O votes, there were four
that strayed off after these side issues.

THE Republicans Of the Third Michigan
District have done themselves credit by
renominating for fourth term Hon.
Washington Gardner, who has so ably
represented them in the past. Comrade
Gardner, who is a man of unusual intel
lectual powers and careful training. has
made himself one of the foremost figures
in the House of Representatives during
his service there, and this is indicated by
his assignment a. the beginning of the
last session to a position on the great
Committee on Appropriations. Appoint
ment on this Committee is one Of the hon.
ors of the House, and it is very rare that
it comes TO one so young in service as

THE report of Surgeon H. d. Wilson O

THE report of Surgeon HI. ID. Wilson, of
the L. :. s. Ficksburg. gives a fearful de-
scription of the result of the japanese fire
upon crews of the Russian ships Variag and
Korietz in the battle at Chemulpo. The
contestants were from 1890 To 1000 yards
apart, and the actual firing did not last
over p minutes. During that time more
than 100 men were disabled. and a very
large proportion of them killed. as the ex
plosion of shells-from eight to 10 inches
was fearfully destructive. A piece OF
shell was likely to cause death wherever
it hit a man.

that tramping, like most other things. is
a matter of heredity. The usual loafer
comes of a lazy, shiftless ancestry. In

every generation living in the poorhouses
and on the road.

THE IRON TRADE.
Non-Union Mills the Disturbing Factor
Restriction.

|
! CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 30,-Tbe Jron
iFade review has this to say concerning
| market conditions in it's current issue: The
| first half of 1904 ends with a restrictive
! movement under way in the iron trade
| that promises to bring pig iron pro-
duction back to the February basis, when
than 100000 tons. The extent of shut
| downs of rolling mills and steel works on
July 1 and the length of the idle period
! cannot be fully determined at this writing
| but will be considerable
| Scale disagreements will cause some in
| terruptien, particularly in sheet and tin
| plate mills and to some extent in har
| mills. But there is a disposition among
| blast furnace operators to prevent the acc
cumulation of their produce so that the
| ldleness of the mills will not necessarily
| mean 1urther weakening in the pig iron
market F7 avn
scale agreement was reached by the
american Sheet and Tin Plate Company in
| the week on basis of Is per cent reduc-
| ton from last years scale which leaves
wages as they have been since the spe-
| cial April conference. The rebate question
| Is still undecided, however Independent
| sheet manufacturers want a % per cent
reduction and are still in conference with
| the workers.
The non-union mills of the leading In
| terest are the disturbing factor and the
possibility of the idleness of all union
sheet and tin plate mills for some weeks
Is not remote. The Republic Iron and
Steel Company will close most of its mills
| FOR part of July at least. At Joliet, Ill,
the rod mill department has closed down
and further suspensions there are expected.
The National Tube Company will close
| down some of its mills for urgent repairs
| but has plenty of orders. A number of
American Steel and Wire Company plants
as Well as independent wire plants in
Pittsburg and Ironton districts will be out
In early July. The hoop and bar mills of
| the Carnegie Steel Company are expected
to be off for time,s. 1lss:-scale being still
unsigned.
With not few mills there is no press
