break, forming shapes resem-
bling roses and lilies. Here we
also see the much talked of Fish
Cone, where one can catch a trout
while standing on the edge of the
lake and by only turning around
may boil 1t IN the cone without re-
moving II from the hook. Here,
too, we get our first good view of
the Yellowstone Lake.
Our trip across this lake was
happy, restful one. 1t is as beau
tiful a sheet of water as eye would
wish to witness. Aside from the
fact that it's altitude Is nearly s.
900 feet, and some places the bot.
tom is not reached at 900 feet. 1t
abounds in salmon trout that hide
in the shade of the trees that line
the shore on all sides.
In the mountain range on the
east side of the lake lies the
"Sleeplng Giant" It's the image
Of an immense giant lying with
his face turned upward that can
be traced in profile on the Saddle
Mountains. At the outlet of the
| lake stands the Lake Hotel, re-
sem bling the executive mansion
at Washington, D. G. After din
ner at this hotel we went out to
see the bears. / think there were
seven or eight appeared that ev-
ening, among them mother-b bear
with two cubs of the Cinnamon
species. There were a few Silver
tips, they have streak of gray
on their backs. On our return
from seeing the bears we saw in
the distance a herd of fawn, pos
sibly dozen, scampering away
from us as fast as they could.
In the morning after breakfas,
my friend and ] went down to the
lake. The sun was shedding his
radiance on the snow covered
mountains which stood like sentl
nels on every side, and at the same
time sending beams into the shee
of water which lay before us
Colonel Waters boat, the Iillah
the only one plowlng the waters
of the lake, lay resting IN the har
Dor which was to our left. Will,
all about us were fine large trees
We sat tor a while on the waite
washed roots of large pine an,

numerous islands out IN the lake
Among them Dott Island, wher

WHAT IS OVER poPUlArlon7

Commenting on the work and effect
of the Salvation army emigration bu-
reau in England a writer in the New
York Tribune questions the advisable
ity of British cooperation in the
movement He thinks the generally
accepted assertion that England is
over-populated questionable and offers
some comparisons with other coun-
tries England, he says, has dense
population, about SAL to the square
mile, and it is rapidly increasing, at
the rate of ~ to Is per cent in ten
years. In Ireland there are only 145
to the mile, however. and in Scotland
only 1856 A dense population is not
possible in Scotland, but 1t surely
should be in Ireland, and the density
in England cannot be regarded as ex-
cessive. Belgium has a much more
dense population, and her immigration
is greater than her emigration. Hol-
land has 418 to the mile, and makes
no complaint of crowding. AS for
Germany, with 237, she deplores emf
grafton, and France, with only 100, la
ments her under-p population. Among
our own states, Rhode Island has 4o7,
Massachusetts, s49. New Jersey 25O
and New York 1873 to the mile. The
enormous average Of England is due,
Of course, to her great cities. Rural
England is not so densely populated as
some Of our states.

why there is always a deficit in the
postal department, but the principal
one is that Uncle Sam is paying out
too much money to postmasters who
never turn hand to earn their salar-
les. Rural mail carriers are paid $50
per month for furnishing a team and
carrying the mail through mud, rain
and snow all day, while there are
thousands of postmasters drawing
salaries from 500 to $500 per month.
giving the government no service, but
devoting their time to some other bust
ness. We can name a postmaster in
Iowa who is drawing a salary of $4,000
per year, while the entire work of the
office is done by the deputy and clerks.
The postmaster maintains another Of
flee lin competition with men who help
pay his salary, and does not go near
the postoffice for days at time and
this is only one of the hundreds of
like cases over the country. Just now
we are making a great howl about in
surance companies paying big salaries
to men who do not earn them and that
we call graft" The express COM
parties carry money and merchandise
at as cheap and in some cases a much
cheaper rate than the postoffice de-
partment. Every express company in
the country is paying expenses and
good dividends, but their employees all
give service for their salaries. The
same would be true of the postal de-
partment of our government if useless
subordinates were cut out and post
masters compelled to give their time
to the offices in which they draw their
salaries. We understand that such is
the law, but the law is ignored. The
business of the postal department
should be run on business principles
and it will more than pay it's way.

THE G0RMAN IDEA,

There is trouble In Maryland when
''factionalism" in the party has
brought on a fierce conflict between
democratic leaders. Senator Isador
Raynor is the disturbing element in
opposition to German who assumes to
be the democratic party of Maryland
and who foresees long lease of boss
ism in Acknowledgement of the col
oiled 10 per cent of Maryland's voting
population and certain foreign born
voters by an educational test and the
retention Of the franchise to the more
ignorant native born whites by means
OF the grandfather clause" permitting
the descendants of confederate soldiers
to vote. Senator Raynor opposes dis
REIMBURSEMENT of the sort scheduled by
German. consequently he is being
read out of his party by German
and the democrats who exploit rather
than guide the democratic party. 1t
is a case of pure machine methods
against common decency in politics.
Raylsor is elassed as reformer and
pounded into the ground by the as
sumed owners of the democratic par

Two warships sailed in the North sea
When the san was lying low.
One carried the flag Of England.

Steady the wind blew northward.
And steady the two ships sailed,
Beyond the Flamboro lighthouse,
When the British captain haileds
'<What ship is that? Give answer!"
For q moment it was 80 still
You might have heard lambs bieat
Far off OH Flamboro hill.
Then sudden the Bonhomms Richard
A cannons answer sent;
Across the sea to Flamboro head
The echoing answer went.
And into tine night the cannon roared,
And the sun went down all red:
Still into the night the cannon roared,
And the moon rose overhead.
Then out OF the smoke and thunder
The arrogant Briton yelled.

WEBSTER City Freeman Tribunel
The announcement that j. l.. KAN
rar and Charlie HELEN went to Chicago
to represent Webster City i'll the inter-
state commerce conference was sur
prise to most people. When it is under
stood the conference was called by
friends of railroad rate regulation the
selection of these gentlemen appears as
huge joke While they are repre-
sentative citizens and would represent
the sentiment of Webster City very
creditably in conferences called for the
purposes with which they are in SYM
pathy, they do not represent the sentl-
ment of this community in the matter
of railroad rate legislation. Mr. kalp-
rar has been attorney for the North
western railroad company many years
and of course would look to the inter-
ests of his client upon all proper oc-
casions Charlie HELEN, as a delegate
to a conference of the character OF the
one held in Chicago, would simply be
an echo of Mr. Kamrar.

where is whether men like German or
others like Raynor best represent the
sentiment of their party and the vic
tory of either settles the status of the
party The democratic party in Mary
land or any other state must stand
for judgment on the men who repre-
sent it. The final decision Of who are
or are not democrats rests with the
vote of Maryland and by that vote the
honesty of purpose of the party must
be judged Not subsidized and venal
press nor machine of professional
politicians sets the standard of party
fealty but the dicturn of the voters at
the polls.
So in Iowa we have heard much
of republicans who are allegedly
unfaithful from men and newspapers
whose private interests lie opposed to
the policies of the men they condemn.
But the people applaud the policies and
vote for the men against whom the
sneers and allegations are directed.
That this assumed censorship of re-
publican morals has become highly
distasteful to republican voters has
time and again been evidenced by the
popular vote 1t is the German idea
transplanted and it is up to the people
Of Iowa as of Maryland to say whether
or not the voters or those who make
profession and profit Of politics shall
represent the party. And the party
reputation is the character Of its rep
resentatives.

HOW THE GAME WAS WORKED.

AS an illustration Of the method by
which the railroads could muster
boiling convention in Chicago to nulli-
fy the effect of Mr.. Bacon's conven-
ton, the Webster City Freeman Trib-
une prints good story Of how the
game was worked in Webster City.
The Freeman Tribune is quoted else
where in this issue.
Taking into consideration that even
the governors of many other states
could be induced to name delegates
friendly to the railroad interests and
there voting methods adopted in towns
like Webster City, it is not difficult
to understand how great big chunks
of apparent public opinion are some
times manufactured
