Pa, has 10000 students in the state OF
Iowa alone, studying by mail The
governor believed that every one of
these students was getting a benefit
from his correspondence course, altho
falling short of a college education.
And he wanted the thousands of young
farmers, and middle aged farmers with
families to look after, and even Old
farmers, to get the benefit of instruc-
ton in soil science, seed propagation
and livestock management afforded by
the college at Ames Even if no one of
them got as much out of it as could be
obtained from a four years course at
Ames, the governor insisted that the
sum total of agricultural knowledge
would be far greater by reason of the
many thousands who would share in it
as compared to the few hundreds who
will be turned out of the graduating
classes Dividends to the greatest
even at the expense of privi-
leges to the few, is the principle in So

The $4,000 that Carnegie gave Iowa
College at Grinnell seems to have two
strings to it. There is also 100000
in sight from the general education
board at Washington, a Rockefeller
fund for college purposes. But to
get this money the friends of Iowa
College have got to raise s350,000 in
side of two years, thus to make an en-
dowment fund of 100000. And this
s350,O00 has got to come from out
west largely from Iowa. The gener-
Gus wealthy men of the east when APP
preached, at once say raise 1T your
selves. Your land is worth 500 an
acre, your farmers and everybody else
in Iowa are getting rich, you claim it's
the best state in the union. prove it by
putting your hands in your own pock-
cts and raise this money. And Iowa
College needs the money. They have
arrived as some one expresses it. at
the point where they have the cham
paigne appetite and a beer income A
student now at Iowa College gets mucn
more for his money than a student
did twenty years ago Whereas the
tuition fees at Beloit and Oberlin are
$40. at Iowa College they are only $55.
And only few years ago there was an
income sufficient for the general needs
of the college, but today they could
economically use twice as much for
actual necessities. The writer would
not have known all this if one of the
trustees had not given him these facts
and figures.
Grinnell. in addition to being pro-
hibition town, college town and a
tornado town, now Is known as a buggy
town. No joke. The Spaulding Buggy
Company and the Laros Buggy Com
pany turn out thousands of Jobs and
employ several hundred mechanics.
But in addition there are seven whole
sale dealers with headquarters in Grin
nell that employ at least $50 men as
"traillers," travelling men, bookkeep-
ers, etc. The sales of all these con-
Germs runs into thousands of buggies,

TEACHING AGRICULTURE BY MAIL.

Before the Farmers Institute in Mar
shalltown, and also in his message to
the legislature. Governor Cummins
presented unique suggestion regard
ing the work of the agricultural school
at Ames when he proposed that a
school of correspondence be estab-
lished. He admitted that leading edu-
Gators had criticised him for making
such suggestion, but he had expected
it inasmuch as the average callege
man or educator considers education
by mail wholly superficial and largely
a sham Nevertheless, the governor
stood his ground for teaching farming
by mail.
His argument was this. There are
100000 farms in Iowa. The most any
one could expect would be an attend
ance of 1000 at Ames. Considering
that this number do not attend the
classes in agricultural science, and that
among those who do are many from
outside the state, the farmers to be
educated annually at Ames must be
less than 1000. But even if they were
that many, it would require 22o years
to put an educated farmer on every
Iowa farm, provided the first classes
would not die off within forty years
from graduation, as they do now
nearly.

The Marshalltown Times Republican,

reading public in a concise manner.
The T.-R. gets the Iowa news first -
each issue containing special news
items from all the principal cities, and
not few from the smaller towns in all

COLD COMFORT FOR DEMOCRATS.
(Oskaloosa Times)


The enemies of Governor Cum
minis charge him with self seeking
and inconsistency. Whether this be
true or not, his present attitude diff
fers from that of q courageous man,
asking for tariff reform in the face
of a great detection from his own
party. That was when he needed
the votes of democrats. 1t cannot
be a mere coincidence that, after
having been elected, he omitted, in
his first public political address, all
reference to that which elected him
his tariff views-and adds another fly
to his quasi-democratic ointment by
asking more power for the federal gov
eminent. Would it be ungenerous to
say that, with a possible seat in the
senate in sight, he has become CEN
Trailing tory? At any rate, he has
given cold comfort to the democrats
who voted for him-wfen his own party
was trying to defeat him-and would
have succeeded, had 1t not been for
those very democrats.

BLACK BUTTE STRIKES
BIG PAY STREAK

GOLDFIELD, July 9.-Definite
confirmation of the strike on Dia-
mondfield Black Butte was secured
Yesterday. The discovery was made
in main shaft at 800 feet on Black
Butte No. l Lode. Assays on this
ore run from $85 to- $175. The
shaft is 1-2 feet by 13 IL feet and
all the rock taken out runs from
SS to $40, exclusive of the stamp OF
high grade.
1t has been known since the early
days of the camps history that the
prominence known as Black Butte
was all ore,' but thought to be toe
low to mill on the ground or ship
but a large tonnage of high grade
has been shipped from it and nearly
all that has been marketed since the
Diamondfield and Black Buttes were
consolidated.
1t is the opinion of those in posi-
ton to judge that the Diamondfield
Black Butte will in the near future
become one of the heavy producers
of high grade in the district.
The strike on the Daisy No. l on
the block of ground being worked by
the Daisy Leasing & Mining com
pany appears to be no false alarm
The crosscut at 200-foot level shows
that the dyke that carries pay values
is Is feet wide and Q feet of 1t II
high grade ore. Assays from the
high grade streak went at the rate
of 1888. Drifting starts today and
they will be shipping before the enc
of the week.

SPECULATIVE
MOVEMENT met
WITH AN UPSET
Several Events Last Week .Consti.
tuted Something Like
n Crisis.
(By the Associated Press. }

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE week
just passed was marked by the oc-
currence of several events which to-
gether constituted something like a
crisis in financial affairs and the con-
sequence was an upset of the organ
lied speculative movement for rise
in prices and caused reaction. This
movement was centered upon previ-
Gus statements and settlements. The
supply of stocks in the market for
some time previously had been very
scanty, SO professional operations to
lower prices had met with little sue
cess. 1t was also hoped that with
the disbursement of an unprecedent-
ed sum in dividends and interest in
July, the long dormant investment
demand would revive and medium
be afforded for the digestion of spec
ulative profits. The market CAM
paign was conducted in fiamboyant
style and by methods of newspaper
advertising which kept open to sus-
picions of artificial manipulation to
lift prices in the market. The Incl
dent of the failure of the New York
city bond offerings previous to the
first of July dashed the confidence
in the early awakening of investment
demand. The convergence of some
extraordinary demand on the money
market during the second week of
July also gave warning of difficult
ties to be encountered in the carry
ing out of the speculative Organiza-
ton. These warnings were disre-
garded, however, the markets op-
erations for the support and the ad-
vancement of prices were on banking
resources. At that point there was
an abrupt relapse, which served to
dash the speculative interest in the
market and to throw it back into a
condition of dullness and feeble and
uncertain fluctuations while the
meeting of the July 10th require
ments had this unsettled effect on
the commitments, previously made.
The passing of that is viewed with
relief as the passing of crisis is no
longer in prospect.
The known condition of the New
York clearing house banks, the prei
vious week made it evident that the
events of last week must strain the
available resources. 1t was not a
surprise that the matured govern
ment bonds were slow in appearing
for redemption, and in fact, up to
this time, less than one-half of the
$36, 100000 outstanding at the time
of maturity have been presented for
redemption.

BUREAU FOR NE.
GOTIATING ORR
ENTAIL TREATIES
Will Have Charge of Preliminary
Matters Pertaining to Jap
anesc and Chinese.
(By the Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, July 14.-With
the view of placing all diplomatic
and consular matters pertaining to
Japanese and Chinese in the hands
of officials familiar with conditions
in the Orient, the state department
has perfected the organization of
Far Western Bureau" which will
have charge of all correspondence
and preliminary treaty negotiations
with the oriental governments. This
new departure is in the nature of an
experiment, which, If it proves sat
isfactory, may lead to the organiza-
ton of similar bureaus to conduct
diplomatic and consular correspond
ence and negotiations with the CEN
tral and South American republics.
European and Asiatic countries.
Huntington Wilson, third assist
ant secretary of state, who for a
number of years served as secretary
to the American legation and embas-
sy at Toxic, is chief of the new bu-
reau. His two assistants are Perci-
val Herntzleman of Pennsylvania,
formerly student attache to the le-
CATION at Pekin and later vice deputy
consul general at, Toxic, and John
.PD1lllpS OF MdSSdCHuSe lOi AhCi ~
private secretary to Ambassador
Choate at London and for the past
two years, second secretary to the
American legation at Pekin. Mr..
Phillips arrived from Pekin few
days ago to enter upon his new
duties at the state department.
All of these young diplomats speak
and read the oriental language, are
familiar with the domestic politics
of the far eastern countries and well
yersed in questions of diplomacy
now pending between the United
States and the Oriental countries.
The preliminary negotiations be-
tween this country and Japan In
drafting new treaty probably will
be referred to this bureau.
Another important duty which
will devolve upon the newly organ
lied bureau will be to consider the
new positions and diplomatic notes,
which are annually presented to the
state department, suggesting changes
in existing treaty between the Unit
ed States and China.
