"A SHOT IN THE BUSHES"
(sioux City Journal.)

(SiOuX CITY Journal)
The Council Bluffs Nonpareil is still
foundering as a result of "a shot IN
the bushes" And the Marshalltown
Times Rep publican, which fired the
shot, is still grinning The Nonpareil
however, will recover. 1t could not be
in danger and be so mad. 1t is always
hazard in such circumstances to join
in the laugh. the proof of which is seen
in the fact that the Nonpareil is on its
elbow and shaking it's free fist in this
direction. The language that floats
hitherward ON the summer air is as
follows:
"A shot in the bushes does, indeed,
sometimes bring down big game. For
instance: few days ago the Nonpareil
stated that it would like to see Walter
L Smith, the able congressman from
this district, sent to the senate in case
Senator Allison is not to be candt-
date for reelection. Whereupon the
Sioux City Journal, edited by that VEN
cradle politician, George D. Perkins,
becomes terribly agitated.
But, come to look at the circum-
stances in the retrospect, it is not so
strange after all. Mr.. Perkins at one
time was elected to congress from his
district. He was also reelected, and
represented his district at Washington
until the late Lot Thomas came along
and retired him. He has also been sew
eral times a candidate for the republic
can nomination for governor There is
much in the record to justify Mr.. Per-
kins if he feels a bit interested when
the possibility Of Senator Allison's vol
untary retirement is mentioned. The
most tender consideration is to be ex-
tended in such circumstances. Perish
the thought that there is any DISPOSE
ton to foreclose the case against any
body

If the titles of the British aristo-

candidacy Oh the plea that young
man is needed. Is its loyalty to the
governor waning ?-Marion Register.
Not at ALL. The T.-R. simply desired
to expose the true inwardness of the
pseudo sentimental plea put up by
standpat papers for Senator Aliison's
retention. How we'll it succeeded is
made evident by the ravenous fashion
in which the Council Bluffs Nonparell
snapped at the bait.
That the 2-cent fare is resulting in
great increase of passenger traffic,
especially on branch lines in Iowa, is
evident to every traveller. Travelling
men and others comment on it. The
2-cent fare will prove a bonanza to the
railroads.
The Pennsylvania state house graft

stealing and getting caught at it. And
there is difference.
Serving twenty-nne years in the

plenty to keep him busy.

in California in 1863. but in early life
went to the islands and was graduated
from Oahu College, Honolulu. in 1881.
He later took the degree of Bachelor
