breathe the pure air of truth. There
are many Youngs and Murphys in
Iowa who see that the Cummins loco
motive must be derailed if they are to
continue in their soft places at the
states expense. and, as it seems almost
as hard for them to let so as to stay
on the track and be run over, their
state of mind can be appreciated even
if it cannot evoke sympathy for them.
And speaking of acolytes, there are
two at Cedar Falls who are much dis
turbed in spirit They are Editor
Jarnagin of the Record and Editor Sc
bile of the Gazette. Editor Jarnagin
wants to go to the legislature from
Black Hawk county and Editor Sc
billie is boosting for him so that he
may have a clear track for the post
office job. Both of them are so COM
mitted to the standpatters that they
have no standing with the progressives
and they fully realize that their hopes
for place must die unless the progress
sve program be defeated in the state.
They are doing what they may to boil
ster the failing fight which their lead
ers are waging against the coming of
the square deal. but, of course, are
making no Roadway.

CRUSHING AN INDUSTRY.

The present relay system of matri-
United States supreme court handed
down it's decision in the Haddock di-
vorce case. The conclusion of the
court was to the effect that state in
which one of the parties to the mar
riage may reside has no right to dis
solve the contract by decree which
other states are bound to respect In
other words, while a divorce may be
unmarried in South Dakota, he or she
may remain very much married in
New York, or any other state
The Haddock pair were married in
New York in 1868, where the wife con-
tinued to reside. The husband became
q citizen of Connecticut, and in 1881
procured a divorce from his WIFE and
the next year married again. The
supreme court of New York decided
the divorce, and consequently the sec
ond marriage, invalid. Now the SUI
preme court of the United States says:
without questioning the power of the
state of Connecticut to enforce within
its own borders the decree of divorce
which is here in issue, and without
intimating doubt as to the power of
of that character rendered in Con-
n2cticut within the borders of the state
of New York, and as to it's own citi-
zens, such efficacy as it may be entitled
to in view of the public policy of that
state, we hold that the decree of the
court of Connecticut rendered under
the circumstances stated was not en-
titled to obligatory enforcement in the
state of New York by virtue of the full
faith and credit clause" And the
Haddocks are in the situation of fishes
out of the water.

are contemplated. 1t is hard on those
who had already made all arrange
ments to change husbands or wives,

OF industrious proprietors of hotels and
boarding houses in the states where the

Certain friends and hackers of Mr..
Perkins have made much of shoeo-

propaganda, which was offered as proof
Of Mr.. Cummins standing as Cor
poration man" in 1888. Opposition to
house file no 374 has been advanced
as proof positive of guilty connection
with railroads on the part of Governor
Cummins. Cummins, in his Spirit
Lake speech, exposed the trick, and
Governor Larrabee's letter, read at
Spirit Lake, in which he bore witness
to Cummins' loyalty, is of itself suffi-
GENTLY conclusive. However, evidence
drawn from the prosecution is always
interesting when it is given for the
defence. Mr.. w. o. Payne of the
Nevada Representative, whose news
paper is one of the stronger county
weeklies, most bitterly opposed to
Cummins, has given such evidence. Mr..
Payne goes on to explain that there
were two railroad bills before the leg
islature of 1888, both of which We're
committee bills originating in the rail-
road committee Of the house. One
of these bills was known as house file

national law to regulate interstate
commerce and empowering the rail-
road commissioners of the state to fix
maximum rates for freight carriage by
railroads. This was the bill which
ultimately passed. The other bill was
known as "house file 374;" and it pre-
scribed a schedule of maximum rates
beyond which the railroad commits
soners might not go in prescribing
house file 373. The second bill was.
therefore, in sense proyiso to the
first bill, and the effect of the two
was to say that the commissioners
should do justice between shippers and
carriers, provided that their sense of
justice should not prompt them to go
above a certain fixed limit. And of
the schedule which was to be this
limit, no one ever confessed the authors
ship. 1t named rates on the several
classes of freight for varying distances
up to five hundred miles-which is
about as far as any one road runs in
one direction in Iowa-and as it came
from the committee it actually made
a greater difference in the charges for
four and five hundred miles respect
lively than was the charge for single
shipment of one hundred miles.
"Sone matters of this sort were fix
ed up after fashion before the bill
was brought to vote; but of the
bill as a whole" says Mr. Payne, I'VE
should say that it was the most in
comparable piece of botch-work that
we ever knew to be projected into a
