FOssILIzED CONSERVATISM.

1T is strange that any man worth q
quarter of a million dollars should re-
fuse to contribute to the aid of the
San Francisco sufferers, but such a
this trait of overconservatism in the
matter of giving. he is u pretty good
sort of a fellow, too. But it is in
conceivable that any man In congress
should refuse to permit the United
States government to waive It's right
TO tariff tolls upon the building mater
ial which the stricken people of San
Francisco must import from abroad,
yet there are standpatters in congress
who are doing this very thing. The
wealthy townsman who refuses to
loosen up in the face of such awful
disaster. inexplicable as 1t may seem
to the average citizen. is n prince as
compared to the fosSiliZed conserva-
tism Of the man in mgr who will
not even let his government be gener-
Gus.
1t is said that already the Steel
Trust has booked all the orders which
it can fill within the next year.. The
manifest superiority of steel frame
buildings has been so completely DEM
onstrated in San Francisco that it is
assumed most Of the new, important
buildings will be constructed Of this
material. 1t is also pointed out that,
altho California has extensive lumber
interests, the saving in the cost of this
material which might be effected were
the great resources of British Columbia
placed at the disposal Of the rebuild
ers free of duty would materially facil-
itate their work. 1t is also suggested
that an important saving could be eff
fected by admitting foreign cement,
there being a great scarcity Of this
material in this country.
The increased imports as the result
of the destruction of San Francisco
are abnormal in every way. The gov
eminent would never have received
tariffs from them had not the earth
quake shattered the city. Hence the
government in suspending it's tariff
tolls now gives up nothing in the way
Of income it otherwise would have
had. 1t merely valves the right to
exploit these tolls from the people who
have beer forced by a terrible calam-
ity to rebuild a great city almost in it's
entirety. A protective tariff may be
sacred in the eyes of many, but let's
not worship it with human sacrifices.

ocean at The equator. The vastness oil
line area which it drains, amounting to
. 36S, 900 square miles, will be evident
y,ben ii is borne in mind that this is
more than the area of Russia In Eu-
rome and Austria-Hungary. IT has d
length OF nearly 1000 miles, Is nayiga-
BILE for fully 1900 miles from the sea,
md Is fed by numerous streams, which
in any other country would be ranked
as great rivers. In the wet season.
which lasts about eight months, its
width varies from five miles to 400. No
wonder the Amazon has been called a
gigantic reservoir rather than a river.
The democrats seem to be the whole
thing I'm this campaign. In a single
issue Eureka at Anamosa eXults be-
cause the Dubuque Telegraph-Herald
(democratic) Deserts Cummins' and
then grows angry because democrats
carried Emmett county for Cummins.
The charge now is that the state is
spending more money while Cummins
has. beer governor than 1t did when
Shaw was governor: but if Cummins
is to be held responsible for all the
legislature has done, would it not have
the legislation he wanted? We would
then have had a statewide primary law
and some others.
