HUNTING THE GOVERNOR.
(Scranton JournaD


The Council Bluffs Nonpareil and a
few other papers of like faith have
seemingly found pleasure in trying to
bring the editor Of this paper into bad
repute by vile. slurs and false insinua-
tions. One not acquainted with the
circumstances might think from read
ing these papers that we committed
public offense when we accepted an
appointment at the hands og Governor
Cummins Gentlemen, that appoint
ment came unexpectedly and unsolicit--
ed on our part. However, we appre-
ciate it very highly and prize that com
mission next to the honorable dis
charge that Uncle Sam gave us at
the close Of our military service for
the United States. Did we not appre-
ciate this token Of respect and confi-
dence in our integrity we would be an
migrate. The unmanly part OF such
conduct is in the fact that these edi-
tors have no charges to prefer against
Smith, so one Of these editors Informed
us, but it is a round-ab way of stab
tbing Governor Cummins. We expect
and invite criticism OF our public and
official acts, but it Is wickedly wrong
to thus write for the sole purpose OF
embarrassing the governor, and be-
sides 1t is conclusive evidence that
they are hard pushed for charges to
prefer against Mr.. Cumplins. "Shoot
IL you will this old gray head" but
spare the innocent.

wild perfume drove the inmates of the

hours the disagreeable smell satur-

we had reached the limit of human

when we alighted from the train ana

One cloud of it struck us square in the

the other sickening smells were as
sweet and pure as the breath of babe
with the stencil that was
emitted from the nostrils of this blear

HOW ABOUT THE voTERs2
lRurt .MonitorD

Are the voters of Iowa willing 10
admit that Allison should be allowed
to die in the harness? Does his rec
ord justify such procedure? Does
the state owe him anything? Allison
has been smooth politician, lacking
backbone to father any measure yet
they would have the voter believe
that his removal would be a calamity
In speaking of Allison's smoothness,
Henry Wallace once said: III the
floor of the senate was covered with
eggs Allison could walk from one end
tic, the other and not break an egg.
But Dolliver tells us Allison must die
irl the harness or our state is doomed.
The writer has been staunch sup
porter Of Dolliver yet we and thous-
ands of other voters cannot swallow
the pill he prescribed in his lights of
oratory in the camp of stanlpatism
The kind of man Iowa wants to
represent her in congress. Is one not
afraid to stand out in the open and
fight the peoples battles Not man
who waits to see which way the wind
blows and then fall in line.
Has Allison been identified as
leader? His record says no.

kRAmseck AND IOWA.

The International Fat Stock Show
is precisely what it's name says it is,
an international competition in the
best stock and by the best feeders.
Canada came down from the north this
year with the best steer and thus fur
Their exenplified the international feat
ure Of the show. 1t was big show
and one where nation might we'll be
proud Of the winner.
1t remained for Iowa to again show
the best carload of cattle. This prize
belongs to Iowa by right Of conquest
year by year. When the annals of the
cattle industry are written the name
of Krambeck should be printed in gold.
He should be voted a silver service by
the legislature. He has deserved 1t as
well as the officers of any battleship.
1t is fine thing to be prominent by
reason of hard work and ability. Out
side of all other this is Mr.. Kram-
becks highest and best reward. 1t is
likely that he lost money on the
splendid carload that took the cham
pionship. He lost sleep over them and
spent his time generously. But AL that
was incidental. He won. for himself
and Iowa.
If we are to vote silver swords to
our war heroes, why not a silver corn
basket to the victor in the fat stock
show?

Taft's Charming Personality.

(From the Havana (Cuba) Post.)
The Chinese people could not have
paid Mr.. Taft greater compliment as
far as showing. their good will and es
TEEN is concerned than by having their
women attend the reception in his
honor. China might have sent her
most important men of state to well
come Mr.. Taft and great and eloquent
words might have been said, but those
words would have been mere diplo-
matte platitudes, utterly hollow as far
as expressing any sincerity was con-
cerned.
There is no doubt about the winning
personality of Mr.. Taft He makes
friends wherever he goes-friends for
his country. friends that mean some
thing and that may stand his country
in good stead not only now, but in the
future. Photographers may joke about
what they term the pleasure jaunts"
of Secretary Taft, but the money of
the United States which he spends
abroad is one of the country's best in
vestments.

Kansas City.-Considering the mild

THE cIGARET WON.
nHamnton Chronicle

We recently had occasion to notice
very particularly the offensive and
nauseous odors of slaughter house,
as the wind was in the right quarter
and it was strong enough to drive a
man to drink. The dead carcasses and
refuse which were attracting birds of
carrion were sickening to a human be-
ing. But shortly after this we visited
q packing house where the refuse is
cooked and made into fertilizer which
was worse still Our clothes reeked

BUSINESS AND BUSINESS PROSPECTS

Further improvement in the financial
situation is facilitating the return Of
normal commercial conditions, but
there is still much idle machinery at
mills and factories. In the leading in
dustries disposition is shown to de-
fer production until there is no prob
ability of cancellations and consumers
show an inclination to place orders for
forward deliveries. Retail trade is
fairly well maintained, demand for
holiday goods assuming seasonable
proportions, and collections are more
prompt.
Money is easier, altho the premium
on currency has not entirely disap-
peared, and the total amount of mon
ey in circulation on December far
exceeded all records, while the per
capita amount also reached new
high-water mark at $34.71 on an esti-
mated population of S6,666,0O0. Sales Of
securities are again above million
shares daily, and prices of the sixty
most active railway stocks averaged
SIS higher than at the low point of the
preceding week.
A few transactions in pig iron are
recorded at further concessions, but as
rule the furnace owners insist on
former quotations and prefer to shut
down rather offer better terms. Re-
striction of steel production has gone
still further, some departments now
operating less than half the total ca
pacity. Little tangible progress is dis
cerned in the primary market for cot
ton goods such as any increase in ac-
tual business, but there is better
feeling that is unmistakable.
Chcago.-Business conditions grad
ually become more encouraging The
process of readjustment and curtail-
ment has placed affairs upon better
basis credit is strengthening, and
while little gain in activity is appar-
ent, the outlook In the industrial line
has improved. The demand for Christ

staples at wholesale make better
showing than a month ago

CUMMlNS AND M'kINLEY.

1t is not strange that Governor Cum
Minis has been accused of being in
league with the saloonkeepers of Iowa;
when 1t will be remembered that only
few years ago during conference of
some thirty ministers held in Scranton.
that these ministers publicly denounc-
ed President Mckinley for being In
league with the liquor element of the
country, and of being himself a topper.
The editor Of this paper was present
on this occasion and being requested
by the presiding elder to speak, we &C
cepted the invitation and there and
then challenged these gentlemen of the
cloth to prove their charges. We also
informed them that while they were
good men, they We're actuated by a
false zeal. and we took the liberty
while on our feet to advise these min
listers to get on broader grounds and
learn to exercise greater charity. The
presiding elder at the close of our talk
said: Brethren, there is much more
truth than poetry in what brother
Smith has said.'
