A HORRIBLE EXAMPLE.

There is to be conference in Des
Moines next week of the Representatives
of thirty states, to discuss the direct
election of senators. New York has
at present a special interest in this
question, since she is the horrible eX-
ample of evil results of the Indirect
method. All over the country news
papers and workers of good government
are pointing to New Works shame as a
reason why state Legislatures should be
limited in their choice of United States
senators. Rather than risk having any
more Platts or Depews, thorough over
hauling of the election of machinery,
is, they say, the demand of the hour. If
the new system were in effect here or
in New Jersey, the present incumbents
would not have the slightest chance of
reelection. Our two senators still
have some time to serve; but if their
terms were expiring oil health" and
"age" would promptly make it ''impos-
sible" for them to stand again. No one
can imagine Platt defending his
personal or political record there is
no choice between them--on the
stump, any more than one could con
ceive Of Depews daring to uphold on any
platform his insurance record. Yet be
cause these men are not facing re-elec
ton, the decent republicans of this
city and state are calmly letting then
alone and submitting to the intolerable
disgrace of their presence in the
senate.-New York Post.

Iowa History for Pupils.

Iowa school children are not given a
proper instruction in the histories in
use throughout the state concerning the
part the native sons OF the state took in
the making of the nation and especially
of the civil war, according to the mem
bers of the Ct. A. r., and Women's Re-
lief Corps and they have made an APP
peal to state superintendent John f.
Riggs to get the deficiency remedied.
Supt. Riggs is taking the matter up and
giving it his support.
If plans now Oh foot are carried to a
successful conclusion, the histories in
use throughout the state will hereafter
have at least supplements in which the
part that Iowa men took during the
civil war will be recounted and due
credit and appreciation given to the
native sons of the state. 1t is claimed
that throughout the south every state
in it's school histories gives special at
tcntion to it's own great men. The
northern states, Iowa, at least, give no
special attention whatever to their own
men.
The G. A. r. post Of Fairfield, Iowa,
has taken the matter up and opened
correspondence with Supt. Riggs in
regard to the matter. At meeting of
the post and relief corps there recently
resolutions were passed thanking Riggs
for his prompt offer of assistance and
asking that Major S. H. Nj. Byers of
Des Moines be asked to prepare a sup
plement to be printed in the regular
school histories Of the state. This is
the method understood to be the most
popular throughout the south. Each
state has a SaDarata SunDlanent of a
few pages in which the children of the
state are given the information as to
the part their ancestors took in the
fight for states rights. Iowa will have
supplement telling the part it's heroes
took in preserving the union.
Supt. Riggs has written to some of
the publishing honses and asked their
support. The Des Moines agents OF
school book publishing houses have
taken up with the idea and offered their
assistance but the publishing houses
themselves are not taking so enthu-
siastically to the idea for it means
added expense in publishing the books
At the same time it is recognized
that such supplement is liable to be
fragmentary and too often is prepared
by some enthusiastic old soldier and
not by trained historian and the fur
Their claim is made that the only idea
way would be to incorporate the adj
ditional information in the body of the
history with the other facts. But the
patriotic citizens who have started the
movement are acting on the theory tina
the supplement is better than nothing
and will make their efforts directed
at that.

About eight years ago the Pullman
Palace Car company, having triie of
$25,O00,000 it did not know what to do
with, made stock dividend Of that
amount. much to the satisfaction Of the
fortunate holders of its shares. Now
with similar tidy sum it does not
need, it fears it's prosperity will invite
adverse legislation but finally decides
on another stock dividend. During
these eight years it has never failed to
pay its regulation eight per cent divi-
dend peg annum. Meantime the public
have costmued to pay exorbitant prices
for.sleeping car Accommodations, also to
pay the wages of the company's porters
which the niggardly policy of the com
pany virtually makes forced tribute.
it is not strange that the cutters of this
of this melon fear their prosperity will
open the eyes of legislators. The mills
of the gods are not celebrated for speed

"There is little to indicate that there
will be strong demand for tariff re-
vision within the republican party,
either before the presidential campaign
or Immediately following says the
Coon Rapids Enterprise. We guess
that about indicates the real intention
Of the republican party with regard to
the tariff If people want a change OF
the tariff which will take from some of
the big trust magnates their right to
rob the country and throttle competi-
ton of any kind, they will have to look
to the democratic party for it. The
republicans do rot intend to change OF
reform the tariff unless the people rise
UP and throw them out of office for not
doing it.-Denison Bulletin.
