Des Moines Capital: The free trader
dare not do business in his own name
and dare not talk for what he really
wants because this country will never
stand for free trade. Therefore the
free trader blandly talks about 'estab-
fishing broader trade relations"
which. being interpreted, means that
the foreigner is to be given better
opportunity in the American market.
Some times the free trader talks
about broader trade relations -
sometimes he speaks of widening
markets." No matter what he says.
his one desire is to cheaper American
products. Governor Cummins was
candid enough in his Pittsburg speech
to say that he wanted importations
increased to reduce prices to the
American consumer The governor
has always been candid on the free
trade question. more candid than his
followers. But none of these doctrines
are republican, and under ordinary
circumstances would put a man out Of
the republican party. But party lines
are so loosely drawn at the present.
time that man can think and speak
and write what he will, from a de-
fense of Senator Tillman on down

call himself republican.

A new departure in postal cards has
been decided upon by the postoffice
department. Beginning Aug. lst the
consumer will get more for his money
than heretofore. The front side for
years reserved by an inexorable rule
for the address will be invaded by ad-
vertisements, pictures and messages.
A vertical line will be placed about
one-third of the distance from the left
end of the card. The space to the
right of this line will be reserved for
the address and the remaining portion
of the front side may be devoted to
details of how all the children are.

REPUBLICANS NOT PLEASED.

TIE Clinton Herald has printed
a number of opinions from
Iowa editors in relation to the candi-
dacy of Gov. Cummins for the senate.
1t will be observed that none of them
are in che least in symathy with the
governors ambition, but on the con-
trary are criticisms of his efforts to
reach the place at the expense of Sena-
tor Allison. When searching the
Iowa press for opinions on the sub
ject, the Herald expected to find in
some of its state exchanges, something
said complimentary of the governor,
but none could be found even in the
newspapers that were his hearty sup
porters last year. Possibly the shock
was so gerat that they are waiting to
recover sufficiently to write sane ex-
planation.
1t will be observed from the excerpts
taken from many leading papers that
the views expressed in this paper in
relation to the governors candidacy
are in line with the others. What The
Herald and other Iowa papers hoped
was that the old trouble brought on
the party last year largely by an am
bitious man was eliminated but the
same spirit seeks to dominate the
party at frightful cost to harmony
and unity. 1t is practically impos-
sible for the governor to ask anything
of the republican party and not stir
up trouble and bitter opposition. He
knows this as we'll as anyone, but it
makes no difference to him what party
turmoil he creates so that he wins
what he goes after. These are the
plain facts in the case.
OF course, under the primary law
which the governor insisted should be
passed, he has right to go before the
people and ask to be made senator by
a vote, but the Herald does not believe
Iowa republicans will abandon Will
liam b. Allison, man who has done
more than any one else to bring honor
to this state and whose services have
been invaluable to the nation. The
ambition of the governor to supplant
this grand old man is so ill-advised at
this time that he cannot hope to win
if Senator Allison decides to seek fur
ther election. Under such conditions
! the governors following would be
very small Coming out as he does
at this time looks too much to Iowa
republicans like gambling on the
death of Iowa's senior senator to suit
the faithful members of the party.
But were he to carry out his purpose
to supplant Senator Allison by a con-
test, he may find that his pet primary
law will be his political undoing. In
the hearts of Iowa republicans Senator
Allison is first, last. and all the time.

the statement that since the new rail.
road law went into effect, the rail
roads have reduced the number OF
pounds Of baggage allowed to each
first class ticket. The Hawkeye Bea,
con says: "Since July lst only one
hundred pounds of baggage goes with
every first-class railroad ticket. II
you take over that amount You Will
have to pay excess charges. Formerly
100 pounds were allowed. The com

A few of our exchanges are making
great ado over the vicious mouth
ings of Senator Tillman at the chau-
tauquas where he is unfortunately
given an opportunity to SOW broad
cast his profanity and insult the in-
telligence of the country. If. how
ever, the lecture bureaus will persist
in placing him ON their program and
the people will continue to listen to
him. the least the newspapers can do
is to pass him in silence, which would
be the hardest blow that could be
given his vanity.

The Escape Of Sir Archibald Douglas

The Escape Of Sir Archibald Douglas
at Poitiers.
In the battle Of Poitiers 1855 num-
Der of Scottish soldiers fought on the
side Of the French, and several Of
them were taken prisoners by the Eng
fish. Among them was Sir Archibald
Douglas, half brother Of Lord Will
liam Douglas. Being dressed in a suit
Of splendid armor, the victors thought
they had captured-as indeed they
had-some great nobleman. Several
Of the English were about to strip off
his armor when Sir William Ramsay
Of Colluthie, who was also a prisoner,
happening to catch Sir Archibald's eye
gave him a meaning look. Pretending
to be very angry, he cried out: "You
rascal, how is it that you are wearing
your masters armor? Come here and
pull off my boots!" Douglas, seeming
~ thoroughly cowed, went humbly for
ward and drew off a boot, with which
Sir William began to beat him. The
on Douglas behalf, saying that he was
person OF great rank and lord.
"What!" shouted Ramsay, shaking
with laughter. HE a lord? Why, he
is a base knave and, I suppose, has
slain his master. Go, you villain, and
search the field for the body Of my
cousin, your master, and when you
have found it let me know, that may
give it decent BURIAL All this was
acted so naturally that the English
allowed Ramsay to ransom the pre-
tended manservant for 40 shillings
The money having been paid, Sir Will
liam gave Douglas another thrashing
and then babe him begone. Sir Archi-
bald lost no time in effecting his es-
cape, which he owed solely to the in
genuity Of his friend.
