The Iowa Senatorship.

In the senatorial contest in Iowa 1t is
charged that Gov. Cumming, in his last
race for the Office he holds. pledged HIM
self in effect not to oppose Mr.. Allison
for reelection to the Senate. This is a
copy of a letter he wrote to a friend on
the subject: ...
II note what you say in regard to Sena-
tor Allison. / am not candidate for SEN
ator AlliSon's place, nor have l ever Sug-
gested the thing to mortal man. 1t is
simply abominable the way my enemies lie
about me. / am a candidate for governor,
nothing else. 1t would be just as appro-
pirate for me to deny that / was candi-
date for President of the United States.
or for the appointment of some vacancy
Of the Supreme Court OF the Onitea
States as to deny a candidacy against
Senator Allison. 1t is unmitigated rot and
should not deceive any man"
Gov Cummins admits the letter. but ex-
plains it. He simply meant to say that.
at that time, he was not a candidate for
the Senate. Sufficient unto the race is the
Office thereof. The governorship was
then the immediate objective. and Gov.
Cummins was concentrating his efforts on
that.
A neat explanation, but open to crit
icism. The Allison men were quieted, and
gubernatorial race. Gov. Cummins was
elected. and the size of his majority must
have been increased by the friends of the
senator. who had accepted the governor S
letter as an assurance of friendship. But
suppose they had read it as Gov. Cum
minis now explains it. Suppose they had
known that he was seeking the governor
ship in order to strengthen himself for the
senatorial race? Would the Allison men
have been as enthusiastic as they were in
the governors behalf? Well!
But never mind the letter, and let it's
authors explanation of it go. Let it be
conceded that Gov. Cummins has a right
to offer for the Senate, and that the field
is open to everybody. The point at last
is that 1t would be national loss for
Iowa to retire Mr.. Allison from an office
he has held so long. and in which he has
done both her and the country at large
so much valuable service. All things
considered. he Is the most eminent man
ever to hold her official commission. And
he has held it so long-not far from half
a century-he is equipped for important
legislative duties as no other man now in
commission from any state Is. Why re-
tire him? What would Iowa gain? What
would not the country at large lose?
Vermont kept Mr.. Morrill, in office, and
wanted to keep Mr. Edmunds. Massachu-
sets was served by Mr.. Hoar, Alabama
by Mr.. Morgan, and Ohio was willing to
be by Mr.. Sherman, to the end. Are the
republicans of Iowa less appreciative of
the man who has done for them quite as
much as the other veterans named did for
the Constituencies they represented?

Contributions for Hospitals.

Today in the synagogues of New York
and tomorrow in the churches of that
city the collections will be given over to
the support Of charity wards in the hos
pitfalls. Hospital Saturday and Sunday
coming every year during the Christmas
New Year time have grown to have a
beautiful significance to the worshiping
Christians and Hebrews of the new
worlds metropolis. That the collections
gathered on these days are of service
to humanity Is obvious. -...
The custom of setting aside one day In
each year for the taking up of a collec-
ton for the free wards of hospitals is
a custom which has so much to commend
it that 1t might be followed by many
other cities.

grip In the District during the week ended
December II, and this Is taken as indis-
putable evidence of the wide prevalence
of the disease. because the grip Is not
often fatal malady.'
1t may be that there are physicians who
do not know much more about the cause
and cure of this aff1iction than layInen
do. but 1t is good thing to make the
physician assume responsibility for the
correct treatment of it. If he does not
know what treatment Is best. he will. II
he is physician worthy the name, try
to inform himself.

Why Santa Claus Is True.

Joel Chandler Harris, in Uncle Remus' Magazine
There Is nothing truer. or more whole
some. or more far-reaching. or more edu-
cative. than creations of sane and
healthy imagination. The legend Of
Santa Claus is true for the reason that /,
connects the childish mind with the mys-
teries of religion, and is long step In
the direction Of real belief. The farmer
Is not only firm believer in Santa Claus,
who Is part of a great Christian fes-
tival. but he believes also In fairies, and
the basis of that belief is very simple.
Hoy, could healthy Imagination invent
anything that has no trace Of truth In it?
age lend themselves so cunnir1gly to q
scheme that Is false? Let any right
minded person think the matter over, and
it will be readily perceived that the
farmer has something more than posi-
bility on his side.

MAY NOT PLAT NEW
TRACT FOR PRESENT,

B. A. McAllaster, land commissioner
for the Union Pacific, writing to John
H. Symons of this city, under date of
the 26th, says:
Il have yours of the 23d recommend
ing the plating of some additional lots
at Laramie, and am very glad indeed
to know that conditions in Laramie
will warrant the consideration of this
suggestion. However, it seems to me
advisable that we first sell a consid-
cradle number of the remaining lots
in the fourth addition and in the orig
inal town. We have six lots left in the
fourth addition and about twenty-three
desirable lots in the original town, and
before plating any more, l would like
to see this number materially re-
duced."
The proposed new plat lies east of
Eleventh street and on both sides of
Grand avenue.
