asked: What is the difference be-
tween a widow and surviving
spouse?" Mr.. Curtis referred the
question to the gentleman from Iowa,
Mr.. Lacey, who said: "That is very
simple; in some cases there is wild
ow and in some cases widower."
Mr.. Butler Oh Pennsylvania asked: IS
a spouse a widower?' Mr.. Lacey re-
piled; ooh, yes; he is after mis- wne

NOMINATE The BEST.

The democratic caucuseS for Selec.
ton of candidates for aldermen from
the various wards will be held tomor-

cuses will be held Monday evening
1t is not only the privilege, but the
duty of every voter to attend these
caucuses, and see that the best inter
ests Of the city and her welfare are
safeguarded by nominating the very
best men of each party for the posi-
lions from the several wards. Select
men of known business ability, men
of intelligence and integrity who will
give to the business of the city that
same thought, labor, study and econ
omy that has made their lives and
personal business the successes they
axe. Nominate such men and you will
have done your duty wisely and will
have aided much toward Greater Os.

around the voter will go to the polls
with the knowledge that no matter II
mis- party choice is defeated, the great
interests of oskaloosa and her citi-
zens will be in the hands of capable
men. Anything less than the nominal
ton of the best will simply mean a
knock" therefore it behooves every
one to attend the caucuses.

MODERN PIRATES.

The oidtime sea rover who was
wont to swoop down on a merchant
man and loot its cargo was regarded
by all civilized nations as a criminal
of the most dangerous type. If caught,
he was usually hanged along with mis-
crew. In these more peaceful days
there are pirates who prey on com.
merce, but they are far less engaging
to the imagination. Among them
may be classed the trademark graft
err" as he is sometimes called, VINO,
despite the laws, still prospers. In
stead of holding up ship laden with
merchandise he attacks the business
of some other manufacturer, and by

DEMOCRATIC NoMl,lEEs.

The democrats have met and have
named thei: candidates, fo,S the city.
council in four out of the five wards or
the city,-the Third ward not being
called to meet till next Thursday ev-
ening. The men nominated are all
good men and men we'll known in
their respective wards and in the city
at large, and nearly all are men Of
business activity at the present time,
and the Herald has no personal fight
to make upon theme Politically we
shall go after their scalp" to the best
of our ability, for we do not believe
that a democratic administration ever
has been or ever will be that success
full, prosperous and economic manage
ment that is secured by republican
control of affairs in nation, state or
municipality, and it don't take the
oldest inhabitant" either to verify
that right here in Oskaloosa.
The men nominated by the demo-
Gratis are c., AL KessIer In the First
ward, who is blacksmith conducting
a shop of his own at 211 First avenue
west, and residing al la North H
street. He has always been known as
Woodworking man since coming to
Oskaloosa some Is to 20 years ago
James A. Brown in the Second ward
is member of the firm of G. H.
Moore & Co., proprietors of the Bell
Clothing House at lot High avenue
east. He resides on South d street,
near the cit ylimits. Mr.. Brown has
been a resident here for a long num-
Der of years. For ~ years he was
with E. H. Gibbs as foreman of the
latter's mines at Beacon, and just be-
fore entering into his present busl-
ness was with the hub Clothing
house of this city. John L, Milligan,
(Jack) is manager of the Green Can
dy Co., at .103 High avenue east, and
resides at 429 North Third street. He
was for a number of years substitute

office. In the Fifth ward Jas. F. Por-
ter, who was nominated for the short
term, is at present member of the
council by appointment Of the mayor

his family spending the winter. His
residence is 5O7 North A street. Chas.
H. Ralston who was nominated for

Ralston Book Store at los High ave-
nue. west, and resides with his mother

REPuRLIcAM suRPLus AGAIN.

For the fiscal year that began July
last the government receipts are
now ahead of expenditures. The sur
plus at the end of last month was ST.
1O2,00S. Yet $12,OO0,O0O has been
spent on public works this year, main
ly on Panama eanal account. A pay
ment of more thaa s60,O00,0O0 on that
great enterprise explains all but an
inconsiderable part Of the deficit since
May /, 1904. 1t is a good time to look
back over the financial record Of the
republicans since they resumed con.
troll of the treasury nine years ago, a
period including the Spanish war. The
years Of deficit during the nine years
ending with June 80 last give total
CT $211, 756,4S2. The years Of surplus
in the same time have total Of $780,
S300S7. The net surplus since the
republicans returned to power in 1897
is $91,073,605.
1t Is great showing when it is re-
membered that war was fought with
Spain and one in the Philippines, that
d ldlSS pay Wdo W 0PaAh
for the islands, and that S60.000.0 900
cash has thus far been drawn from the
treasury for Panama expenditures.
During neirly all these years the
Dneley tariff has been in operation.
Its practical wisdom has been abund-
antly proved in war and peace, in an
era of remarkable territorial and in
dustrial expansion, and Of great public
undertakings. Il ;s easy &c stand pat
ON such results. Government ex-
.penses increase continually, but the
Dingley tariff has kept UP with the
demands and is bringing in more rev.
enue this year than the treasury Off:
Gals predicted. The war taxes were
repealed so long ago that they are al
most forgotten. Republicans can
point with honest pride to their gov
eminent balance sheet
