Mr.. sTlLLMAN's PURCHASE.


DEBORAH Republican The West
Union Gazette last week stated that
Frank ]. Stillman, of Washington, D.
c., has purchased the West Union
Argo. 1t is known to us that Mr.. Still
man has been looking after good
piece of newspaper property with a
view of returning home and re- engag-
ing in the business; also that he pre-
ferred northeastern Iowa. 1t was in
this region that Mr.. Stillman began his
career as a newspaper man. and go
Ing to West Union Is like returning
nome. The Argo, which was started
by the Hobson brothers., and brought
from an amateur newspaper to a full
fedged local newspaper, was for a
while under the ownership of Mr.
Stillmari, who then resold it to Frank
Hobson. Several years thereafter
We're spent by him with his father and
brother at Jefferson, Greene county,
and for few years past he has been
taking a post graduate course In poll
tiles In government position at
Washington. To natural aptitude
for newspaper work Mr.. Stillman will
have an acquaintance with men of ma
tional fame whom he has observed
from an inside relation and under fav-
orable circumstances. For long
time he has been the Washington cor
respondent of several of our leading
Iowa newspapers

Mr.. HAYS BEST MONUMENT.

Providence Journal.-It seems a pity
that John Hay could not have lived
few months longer to witness the
conclusion Of the treaty between Japan
and China. For in one article Of this
treaty 1t is agreed by China that six
teen principal ports and cities in Man
churia shall be open to the trade and
commerce Of the world, and accord
ingly throughout one large section of
the Chinese empire. the open door, for
which Mr.. Hay toiled SO arduously, is
permanently assured. Mr.. Hays con.
tribution to literature, while slight in
volume, If we except the monumental
history Of Abraham Lincoln, which
he wrote in collaboration with Mr..
Nicolay, was of sufficient grace and
strength to entitle him to long inclu-
sion among our more cherished writ
ers of verse and prose, but his literary
reputation Is overshadowed by the
diplomatic achievements to which he
devoted so much Of his maturer en-
ergies; and among these achievements
his successful advocacy of the open
door in China is bound to take high,
II not the highest, rank.

IN THE ENEMY's CAMP.

Washington Post.-"I like to cam

Cousins, Of Iowa, in the Arlington

own state this coming year, but hope

Ohio. They know how to treat fell

audience is cheerful Once I was
making q speech in small town. The
hall was full and some rough looking
men kept interrupting by calling me
a liar and few other things. I gave
1t back to them, and they seemed to
enjoy it. However, was puzzled that
INV best periods aroused no applause.
when the meeting ended the chair
man whispered that we had best get
out. / demurred, saying that I want
ed to shake hands with some Of the
audience and get acquainted. The
chairman looked pined and distressed
urging me to go, as the big, husky
LOOKING chaps might start fight I
asked If there were not enough Of our
own people to protect us, and the
chairman explained, Heavens. man!
You and are the only republicans in

CALVIN MANNlNe,s CANDIDACY

Davis County Republican.--CaIvin
Manning, Of Ottumwa, who Is a can
didate for United States marshal for
this district, seems to be now in the
lead Of all other candidates for the
place. He has practically secured the
endorsement of every republican in
the southern part Of the district. He
will receive the unanimous support of
every county seat in southeastern
Iowa. Mr.. Manning has been hard
and loyal worker for the republicans
of this district at all times and it will
be considered privilege by the re-
publicans of this part Of Iowa to help
him get this Office which he so richly

GALLONS AND METERS.

The revival of the agitation for the
adoption of the metric system In
America and its substitution for the
conglomerate plan that Is now in vogue
has been started by a New York news
paper and is being taken up by other
papers all over the country. AS mat
ter of course, engineering and scienti-
fic journals take the greatest interest
in the subject and in most of these
there may be found long articles, deal
ing with technical points that amaze
and astound the layman. The Munich
pal Journal,a New York publication
devoted to the interests of city engin-
eering and city affairs in general, COM
ments upon the pro-metric crusade as
follows: IS
1--WE have no intention Of minimizing
the inconvenience and loss entailed by
the present Heterogeneous tumble of
barleycorns, firkins, yards, gallons and
feet. On the contrary, We maintain
that an end should be made Of all but
necessary survival Of antediluvian
monstrosities which lag superfuous
upon stage too small to give scope to
their fearful and wonderful capabil.-
ties. But this attitude does not carry
with it the conviction that the metre
should be chosen as their successor,
especially when, as has frequently been
urged by practical men, that standard
labors under serious disabilities, in its
linear side in particular. Among these
are, on the other hand, the excessive
length of the metre and. on the Other,
the unsuitable character of the MILL
metre as it's smallest subdivision in
practical sense, the inch, or the tenth
of foot, lending itself much more
readily to fine work. And as the item
of loss has been merticned, it might
be opposite to ask what consideration
has been given to the enormous cost
involved, to manufacturing interests, in
the changes necessary to convert ma
chinery and guages to the new stand
dard."
From the sentiment of this article,
there is much in the way of the sue
cess of the plan for making the metric
system universal While there are
many things that would stand improve
ment about the present system there
are no doubt many advantages, as the
Municipal Journal asserts, and there
will probably be more trouble than the
change would be worth in bringing it
about.

VARDAMAN AGAIN.


limelight is the place where
K. Vardaman, the FIRE eating
,or of Mississippi, likes to stand,
te has clinched his position a
more firmly just now with his
What sensational message to the
ature of Mississippi. His com
aern state and what he terms the
lutte futility Of trying to educate
negro to become law abiding
en-, are indeed fiery, and, naturally
Mississippi executive does not
&c words in the least. He has no
BIT, in his study of composition,
ned that modifying qualification and
ten1ng innuendo weakens an argu-
Mt, and he takes no chances on such
contingency. Plunglng bodily into
subject, he says: "As race the
gro is deteriorating morally every
~. Time has demonstrated that he
more criminal as free man than
: was as a slave, that he is increas-
lg in criminality with fearful rapid
~, being one-third more criminal in
800 than he was in 1880"
BY Governor Vardaman blame is laid
for negro crimina1ity at the door of
public education, which the governor
believes is shameful waste of public
money wrung from the white men and
WON en- Of his state. In his plea for a
discontinuance of negro public schools,
the governor says: ut is your func-
ton to put stop to the worse than
wasting of a half million dollars an
nually-money taken from the toiling
- ~ iccsc ,ir All
and devoted to the main purpose Of
trying to make something Of the negro
which the great architect of the uni
verse failed to provide for in the orig
inal plan of creation" The governor
does not disclose his fears for the flu
ture of the black race in America. All
he does is to say most emphatically
that education is useless in the work
of regenerating the negro and making
of him good citizen.
1t Is reasonable to suppose that the
governors statements coincide with
the bulk of white men in the state in
which he was elected governor by a
the sentiment of the majority
of those white men, and 1t
is therefore reasonable also to believe
that their treatment of the negro is in
accordance with the views expressed
by the governor. In other words, no
consideration for the black man that
can be denied him is shown him, and
the freedom which was purchased him
by the Emancipation Proclamation is
not theirs. The freedom of which
Vardaman pirates does not exist and
never has existed. In few isolated
cases negroes have improved their
conditions in spite OF the opposition of
the white men of the south, but not
because of it. And it is the opposition
of just such men as Vardaman that
holds them back from the millennium
of independence and self supporting
existence that they hoped to obtain
when they learned the meaning and the
result of the civil war. Public educa-
ton and the fair treatme nt that such
a system should mean is one of the
keys that would open to the negro race
the door to enlightenment, but that
Vardamans OF the south have their
backs to the entrance and are fighting
stubbornly to keep the portal closed.
