A NIGHT Alarm.

Worse than an alarm OF fire at night

spectacle of an Iowa governor under
Mr.. Blythes fire for his Veto of the
Molesherry hill is one not likely 10 win
Mr.. Roosevelt's supreme confidence.
Mr.. blythe is Il force in Iowa state
politics. So IS FL Hunter. Neither is
national political power. Mr.. Blythe
is not great outside of Iowa. he is
great inside the state as the custodian
and director of special interests. He IS
the creature Of thousand mileage
books attorneyships and surgeonships
and all that multiplicity of patronage,
purchase and favor that constitutes the
"wad' of a mighty corporation. His
legislative influence is that of menu
Der of the third house. His talents
are of the lobby. His political person
atty is such as to deny him any pre-
ferment that depends upon popular Sc
lection Separate Mr.. Blythe from his
railroad and you separate him from
greatness. His power is that of the
motor He belongs in the basement.
Turn the switch at the dynamo and it
is all over.
The 20" railroad is Mr.. Blythe's
dynamo, the generator of his trans
mitted force. Mr.. Roosevelt is not a
practical>politician but he has learned
much in four years. He knows better
than to attempt To pluck figs from
thistles. Further. Mr.. Blythe's app
pointment would prove highly distaste-
full TO the great majority of the repub
leans of the state, and would be in
effect slap in the face to the men
who made Iowa impregnably FOR
Roosevelt. Mr.. Roosevelt knows this
and ingratitude Is not one of his
faults. He knows also OF Mr.. Blythe's
insistent pressure upon Mr. Hanna TO
become a candidate and forgetfulness
is not one ~ his failings.
All this is .mpersonal. The repub
licans of Iowa have no individual
quarrel with Mr.. Blythe, but with
what he represents. Twice. within the
past four years. the farmers of the
state have reused themselves 10 over
whem in convention and at the polls

credited. His talent for organization

and arouse suspicion. Blythe conduct

only IN an9n.aly bu, an impossibll.ty.
Bet there Is no danger of SO great

SOMETHING NEW IN SPRING
OPENING.

At this season of the year we ofteI
hear of spring openings in ladies hat,
and millinery. in fancy dress goods
etc but who of us ever heard of ar
opening in carriages buggies and othel
pleasure vehicles? Yet that is just the
innovation that an enterprising car
rage manufacturing concern in the
nelghboring town of WaynesborO
proposes
The Hammer Carriage Co. there are
just completing and moving into theil
new warerOoms and factory building
and they purpose to celebrate the &C
casion by public opening that shall
have attractive features for the ladies
as Well as for the men-an interesting
occasion that will make it worth your
while to call around and see what is
going on.
Besides an endless variety of pha
tons, rnnabouts and other pleasure
vehicles. there will be displayed q
| Number of fine sewing nachines-some
10 or 20-wIth an expert operator in
| attendance to give exhibits and in
struction in fine sewing and the best
uses of the machines. A professor in
music will exhibit his skill on the
ivory key boards of number of
eledant new pianos, and will make
times lively In the music room. This
program is for the public in general,
and to that end number of handsome
invitations will be issued. But if
your card does not come, go any way.
MIR. Hammer will not have half enough
invitations to 60 around and be expects
every one to come. The opening will
be for one week-from the 25th to the
30th inst. inclusive.
hen the SPECTATOR reporter found
Mr.. Hammer he was hustling busy
and up to bis ears in work, getting
ready for that opening" said be, See
what few weeks energy can accom-.
plish,'' he continued, pointing with
pride to the big three story factory
building just completed. And sure
enough the few weeks had done it-a
model building for it's purposes con-
venient and laborsaving in design. On
the first floor harness shop, show
room, business Office and store room.
Up stairs repository 40xS0 feet, while
on the third floor was large paint
shop and finishing room. In the re
pository a fine stock was going in. |
Handsome cabriolets, runabOuts, bug
gies and other vehicles, ranging in |
price from $50 to $3.50, and all in the |
newest creations. A feature that |
promises the greatest ease and rest to
,he traveller is the ''Cushion tire" for
wheels, an improvement over the solid
'ubber now in use. Fine upholstering
ind plush or rubber rugs further add
10Th to the appearance and comfort of
be vehicles.
Another structure on the lot and
djoining the main building, is the
oachsmiths shop, two story frame
nd compile in Its appointments, while
djoining it is the old stone shop which
7ill continue, as in the past. to do GUS
ON work. Taken as a whole this az.
regation Of buildings occpies the
