THE CRucIFIxIoN OF FRED WHITE.

| In way that awakens dim remin-
! iscenses of Mr.. Micawber, Fred White
| has written another letter taking back
the cuss words of his previous epistle
but reiterating his farewell to politics
and his profound conviction, now that
his retirement from active po-
litical life has released the brakes
that the world will go to
the devil like an unmanageable
motor car down Avernus. He assures
the public that he has no intention. and
never had of going over to the repub-
leans. His belief is still constant and
his heart rings true to indebted DEM
ocracy as exemplified particularly by
Thomas Jefferson, Tom Johnson,
Bryan, Weaver and another whose
name Mr.. Whites modesty has permit
tad him to write only between the lines.
But his faith is gone. With Bryan and
jim Weaver, ct. al, he has faced and
suffered martyrdom until he Is ready to
gull, anu Cttuiy StCW liip SiSeeA eSS-Sts
of the globe. He has raced and run
to head the herd Of democracy into
green pastures where still waters flow,
harder than he ever struggled to get
his own drove past hole in the fence.
Mr.. White has called "Hooee! Hooee!
until he Is hoarse. He has seen the
herd scatter uncomfortable into repub-
ltcan fields of prosperity. No wonder
he stood painting and enraged and said
damn" Many an honest farmer has
done the same and SAID as much on
similar occasions.
So far as Fred White and the re-
publican party is concerned, no repub-
Mcan ever asked or desired him as a
proseiyte The republican party In Iowa
would not be benefited by the apostasy
of Fred White or any other democrat OF
his caliber. But Mr.. White, referring
to Pontlus PLATE, and posing as the
"pale martyr in his sheet of fire" is
supremely ridiculous to those who
know the man. If there is one char
acteristic above another that imprasses
itself upon Mr.. Whites political asso-
| ciates it is his supreme selfshness. No
man in Iowa, unless it might be Jim
Weaver, has more persistently sought
office than Fred White, and no office
seeker in Iowa or elsewhere has had
SO much aid and assistance from in
diyiduals at such small personal ex-
| panse. When Fred White poses as a
martyr it is a sight to make some
people too angry to laugh

TERMS;
EswEsI FAILURES IN the SOUTH.

According to Bradstreet's the fail
ures In the nine months ended with
September We're more numerous and
for a larger amount than for any like
period since 1898. The number was
7,71S, against 6,S9S last year. and the
aggre gate Of liabilities was S115,455,-
900, against $SS,S7S,000 last year. The
Improvement in business has not been
such as to rescue those who suffered
by the recent period of stagnation:
Matters were much worse, however,
in the nine months of 1898, when there
We're lilo failures, with liabilities Of
S327,273,000, and in 1896, when there
were 1880 failures, with liabilities of
$11, 100000. The failures in the past
nine months have been chiefly in the
far west, the northwest and the middle
states where increases, respectively, of
22.15 and 20 per cent are shown. THE
SOUTH" Bradstreet notes, Shows only a
fractional increase" that section being
just now the most prosperous in the
union.

CHURCH BUSINESS MANAGEMENT.

The secretary of the National Con-
gregational Assembly, DR.. Asher An
derson, in a paper read before that
| body at Des Moines, last week, pre-
scented some startling figures as quot
ed i'm the news reports last Saturday.
He called attention to the fact that
almost LOO church buildings were va
can't and that 2,113 ministers were
unemployed, and added that he believ-
ed that 1t was a problem for the coun-
Gil to consider.
In the minds of many ministers 1t is
the problem before which all others are
insignificant. Why not inaugurate a
plan to put those idle ministers in
charge Of the vacant churches? If the
present council is able to do this it
will go into history glorified.
Before the Methodist church at the
recent session of the Upper Iowa Con-
ference at Davenport, the question Of
consolidation of charges was very SER
lOuSly CONSIDERED. with many loCdl
preachers and exhosters on charges
the Methodists have not enough
preachers to go around. Five years
ago they confronted the problem Of
expansion and ministers salaries tend
led downward, but today the trend Of
salary is upward, and the church is
not producing ministers as fast as it
needs them.
A. Methodist minister writing to the
editor, says the Methodists are pay
ing the best average salary today OF
any protestant church, and attributes
the advancement of the church and
church interests, its thorough business
like method of conducting the af-
fairs of the church. The implied sug
gestion is that Congregationalists may
learn something of business manage
men from the Methodists.

A SENSIBLE FURNITURE MAN.

A ide-awake furniture dealer in a
campaign of advertising in which he
should have many imitators. Farmers
adjacent to the small town in which
| the dealer referred to does business,
have fallen into the catalog habit, to
the detriment of the local trade. The
furniture man takes advantage of the
columns of his local paper to make
comparisons of value and prices be-
tween his goods and those of the cat
alog houses.
He prints list of articles in the fur
niture line, including chairs rockers,
| tables, bookcases, beds, couches, etc,
and in parallel columns places his
prices on these articles with those of
popular mail order houses. After add
ing freight, he shows that his prices
are on the average as low as the prices
Of the mail order houses-in some
cases few cents higher and in others

difference Of 81 on any article enumer-
ated.
The furniture dealer at Elma has
struck the proper note to attract the
buyer. Instead of claiming trade on
an abstract principle. he bids for 1t
as a strictly business proposition
There is no doubt that he can sell in
competition with the Chicago store
He knows it. He is going the right way
to get trade when he let's others know
it. He has the right idea Of sens
ible campaign against outside trade
aggression.
What is true in furniture is true in
other lines. 1t is simply a question of
putting home prices against those of
the outsider of hammering at the home
trade as the catalog house hammers
it. Seven sacks of catalogs came into
one little town in northern Iowa on
one mail. They went to hundreds of
homes and insisted that the Chicago
house that issued them sold goods
cheaper than the home merchant.
What Is there left for the local dealer
but to go into the home with the other
side of the story?

THE NERVE OF IOWA FALLS.
rHardin County Citizen.1

The fact that Iowa Falls has stood
up with scarcely a break against the
financial pressure of the past two years
speaks volumes for the stability of
Iowa Falls institutions. First came the
drain of money from northern land,
then the crop failures, and the cattle
feeding loses, and the two wet seasons
that forced loss of a quarter Of mil
lion dollars by the Globe Construction
Co that built the new road, and the
bank defalcation, and the mining panic.
Still Iowa Falls Is the liyeliest, most
progressive and wide-awake town and

ties. In such a case voter either has
to vote for an unfit man or bolt his
party. BY the primary method, when
that system is properly operated, such
conditions cannot exist. But the pri-
mary must be state wide and state
governed. It cannot be mere local
option and be truly successful. The

will come when its merits are thor
