PEANUT POLITICS.
rr>oo;,o~ Doviou

The Des Moines Capital now attacks
Gov. Cummins for his expenditures in
various trips made as governor Of the
state The total of these expenditures
is about $4,000. Not an extravagant
900 spent, by Gov l3oies ON his Chi
cago trip. The Capital compares the
Cummins expenditures with those of
Governors Drake and Shaw.
We do not think the Capitals crit
icism is called for or that it will
arouse anything but the Indignation
Of the governors friends. There are
certain social funo tions which are
expected of the governor of a state.
If the governor be a millionaire as
was Governor Drake, it may be very
proper for him to defray his own ex-
penses, but If he be a poor man he
must either fail to represent Iowa as
1t should be represented or he must
look to the state to pay the expense.
II the Capital Is correct in it's posi-
ton that the governor should pay
their own expenses in such cases, it
must follow that only rioh men can
accept the office.
Even with these expenses paid the
office Of governor is very expensive
one. We know that this was one of
the determining factors which lead
Governor Jackson to refuse to be a
candidate for a second nomination.
To us this attack snacks very
largely of peanut politics. The gov
ernor stands for many things with
which the Capital lisagrees and which
1T may properly discuss. There is a
legitimate line of cleavage on the tar
if ard other questions that may be
argued without personalities, but the
present attack is beneath the dignity,
even of fractional politics.
For our part we hope the day may
never come when personal riches are
a prerequisite of the governors Of
flee, or when Iowa will begrudge the
few thousands necessary to maintain
it's dignity as a state.

HIGH CLASS POLITICS.

washington, Iowa, Democral.J
| Governor Cummins, whom we do not
particularly admire, although he has
never refused to give US an office,
made a speech last week at the Fruit
Jobbers' banquet in Des Moines.iln In the
course of his speech he made some re-
marks criticising the railroads
Straightway some enemy of his sent
the report to the eastern papers saying
Cum1nins had found fault with the
Dolliver rate bill and with the presi-
dents action in the matter of rate reg.
ulation.
1t created tempest in a teapot for
day or two, till the lie was nailed. 1t
was lie made out Of whole cloth. but
the Burlington Hawk Eye, Cedar Rap
ids Republican, Gate City and other
thick and thin standpat papers were all
| torn asunder about it. My, how they
were outraged that Cummins should do
such wicked thing as to criticise
| Roosevelt and Dolliver.
| Yet, they knew we'll enough that
Cummins had said no such thing. But
| this was their chance to make a polit-
| cal hay while the sun shone. Every
thing that belittles Cummins is grist
to the standpatters' mill.
We do not know who sent out the
dispatch, and being democrat, we do
| not care republican sent 1t and If A
lie is told, and we know there was, it
is a republican lie. so what need we
care?
It has stirred up the local Cummins
| men and, of course if it stirs them up
thus here in the reservation, what will
| it do in Cummins' territory?
| And whatever tends to divide the re-
publicans is water on our mill And
anyway as Judge Scott says, there are
really only two political parties in
1owa-republicans and standpatters.
Yet there will be few democrats who
will be in at the "killing" and we hope
! to be one of them.

AN IOWAN TO HONOR.
TDayenport Democrat.1

In honoring Ex-Governor William
Larrabee, the stale of Iowa is taking
off It's hat to itself. But there is good
reason for doing so. In the assembly
Yesterday Senator Lewis OF Page
county, offered q resolution asking
Mr. Larrabee to address the two bod
les in joint session next Saturday. That
day will be the 74th anniversary of the
former governor. 1t is proposed to
have him talk to the younger official
representatives of the state. If he can
be induced to do so he will be sure to
give them some excellent fatherly ad-
vice. Governor I4arrabee has made a
success of his own business, and also
hat of the state so far as he has any
hing to do with it. And no Iowan has
been more prominently Identified with
the state for a longer period.

BIG STICK FOR CASTRO.
Arrogance to American Minister May
Force Government to Take Hand.

Washington, Jan. 20.-Three French
war ships are now off the coast of
Venezuela prepared to make an at
tempt to bring the defiant President
Castro to time, and complications
which have arisen at Carasas bring up
j the possibility that the United States
may have to take hand in the matter,
possibly displaying the big stick, to
Induce the ruler of Venezuela to treat
the American minister with little
more courtesy
Since M. Taigny, the French repre-
sentative left the country in haste,
turning over the interests of his nation
to Minister Russell, President Castro
has grown arrogant toward the Ameri-
can representatives. The United States
government, which has an ample fleet
in West Indian waters. may find 1t ex-
pedient to send one or two ships over
toward Venezuela and make 1t plain to
Castro that any such treatment as was
accorded M. Taigny cannot be given the
American representative with impuni-
ty.
There is not the faintest possibility
OF a clash betweenn France and the
United States over the Monroe doc
trine. It has not been decided yet just
what sort Of demonstration is to be
made. Two more French war ships
are on the way across the Atlantic. and
when they arrive they will initiate d
peaceful blockade or they may send
marines ashore and seize custom
house. Whichever course they adopt
will be with the full knowledge and
consent Of the authorities at Washing
ton.
Frances program is simple. 1t pro-
vides for the exaction Of an apology
from President Castro for his treat
ment of Mr.. Taigny. Until this is
Forthcoming, discussions of claims and
other grievances against Venezuela will
not be brought up. France demands
that her representative at Caracas be
accorded the same courtesy given the
I Venezuelan representative at Paris,
and considers the action of the Vene-
zuelan government in refusing to allow
M. Taigny to return to shore after he
had boarded French liner as an act
Of war.

Des Moines. Jan. 20@The big con-
test in the Iowa State Travelling Mems
Association for secretary and for sum
dry changes in the bylaws, came to a
elimination today Not before In
many years has there been such q
gathering Of travelling men at any one
place in Iowa. They came here from
every corner of the state and from
many other states to participate in the
contest. It was recognized that the
issue was of great Importance and yet
to most Of the members 1t was after
all only personal matter. ALI Of the
candidates were regarded as good men.
Any one was declared to be competent.
The fight had apparently narrowed
down last night to one of the field
against L. c. Deets, who had the adj
vantage of having access to the as
sociation books during the past few
machinery of the organization to his
advantage. Next to him were four Of
flee candidates nearly equally divided
as to strength. Among these were
Barrowman, Van Derveer, Porter, Mac
Vicar and ELLINGTON. There. was .
great deal Of talk Of a combination
against Deets last night and this
morning, but as there was little chance
for trades the Deets people remained
confident.
The Deets program was to kill off all
the proposed amendments to the by
laws, which they declare would have
the effect OF almost reorganizing the
company on q different basis and some
of which were supposed to be looking
to ultimate removal of the headquart-
ers from Des Moines.
The convention met at 10 o'clock to-
day, the first question to be taken up
being that Of the by-lawS and changes
in government.
The preliminary voting for organiza-
ton showed Deets to have the heaviest
backing and the opposition is now try
ing to unite on one Of the candidates.
The meeting was adjourned from 1z:So
to $3.50 and the result will probably
not be known before 5.
