A BALLAD OF TREES AND THE MASTER.

Into the woods my Master went,
Clean forespent, forespent
nto the woods my Master came
Forespent with love and shame
But the olives, they were not blind to him.
The little gray leaves were kind to him,
The thorn-tree had a mind to him
When into the woods he came.
Out of the woods my Master went
And he we'll content.
Out of the woods my Master came,
Content with death and shame,
When death and shame would WOO him last
From under the tree they drew him last;
Twas on tree they slew him last,
When out of the woods he came

and the above named delegates were
declared duly elected.
The report of the committee on
resolutions was the beginning of real
trouble. It was direct challenge
to the standpatters. W. S. Beels

spoke against the resolutions and
M. +. Leroy and E. E. McCloud
in their favor The debate was Of
the fierce and furious pattern and
the vote resulted in the adoption of

tions: 1--WE believe in progressive
republicianism and the election of

Mayor Mcclellan of New York
has taken to old-fashioned quill
pens in signing public documents.
This is not to be regarded as spasm
of Jeffersonian simplicity, for this is
the explanation given by his honor:
ut happened that evrey time ] sign
ed bill some one interested in the
measure was sure to ask me for the
pen which did the trick. gave
away several gold pens, but when
the requests came too thick | switch
ed to plain 5-cent pens such as are
used in the public schools. No one
seemed to want cheep and unromantic
looking pens. i happened to think
of the pen of our forefathers and
discovered that we could get them
very, very cheap. I've been signing
city bills with quill pens for the
last few days and they seem to be
very acceptable to the people who
want to save them as souvenirs.

The republicans of Iowa are lining

The republicans of Iowa are lining
up for Governor Cummins, not be-
cause he is a better man or has q
better public record than Mr.. Per-
kins, but because he is striking at
the abuses which his own party has
fostered and protected and permitted
to burden the people; and because
of Mr.. Perkins silence on this cru
cial subject, and because he is sup
ported by the men who are pro6ting
by the abuses which the Governor
is denouncing. The old Mark Han
ma gang Of politicians do not repre-
sent the heart or conscience of a ma
jority of the people of Iowa, not oven
a majority of the republicans Of
Iowa. That gang bought elections
with trust funds which belonged to
widows and orphans, and protected
all kinds of wrong for a certain per
cent of the unlawful gains.

Charles E. Ransler tor Judge.

For some time past it has been
known, that on account Of failing
eyesight, Judge A. S. Blair of this
city would not be candidate for re-
election. 1t has also been known
that Buchanan county would be ac-
corded the privilege,of naming his
successor. For that reason the ac-
ton last Saturday of the Buchanan
county convention, in selecting dele
gates favorableto the nomination Of
Charles 3. Ransier, Of Independence,
as Judge Blair's successor, is Of
more than ordinary Importance. I'm
der existing conditions, this action
on the part of Buchanan county is
practically the equivalent Of a nom
ination, and nomination by the re-
publicans Of this district is about
the same as an election. So it is
fair to assume that MIR. Ransier will
be one of our district judges after
the LIST of next year.
Mr.. Ransier is good lawyer, {
man Of judicial temperament and in
every respect qualified for a place
on the district bench.

ETY., interest and power as it is pos
sible to make them The Orchestral
numbers will represent every variety
of musical composition, from the

growing among the people Of all
parties. Referring to a recent dis
covery Of a deficit Of $l,lO0,O0O. in
the Sanitary District Of Chicago, the
Examiner says: "In line with the
new tendency toward antl-graft in
vestigations. the Cook County grand
jury has begun a searching inquiry
into the eight years occupancy Of
the Circuit Court clerkship by John
A. Cooke. Advance estimates fix
the deficit here at approximately
$25,O0O. The Investigators are fol-
lowing the same methods that Sc
cured penitentiary sentence for
John A. Linn, who was Mr.. Cookies
successor as Circuit Court Clerk.
The investigation has just begun.
The searchlights are monotonously
