PROTECT THE FISH.
(Waterloo Courier.l

NWdlSIlOO SOuIlcE.J
Last week the Courier referred to
the great need in Iowa for the passage
Of laws for the protection of game
birds. AS stated. 1t believes that such
measures should interest not alone
sportsmen, but that they have an eco
nomic value, which if investigated will
be found immense.
There is another matter which the
state has neglected to about the same
extent that it has the game birds. That
Is Its fish. No prairie state, with one
possible exception, has within its Dor
ders such splendid streams as Iowa.
These were once bountifully supplied
with all kinds Of fish. And even with
the great population in the state today.
IL proper laws were enacted, 1t is be-
lfeved there would be sufficient sup
ply of fish every year to satisfy every
angler in the state. But If the present
rate of humiliation under the existing
lawless manner Of fishing continues, at
not distant day, one Of the most
delightful pastimes known to man, will
be out of the question in Iowa.
The next legislature Of this state can

WOLVES IN COMMERCE.

Some days ago we were told in the
news columns of train being stopped
by government officials because it was
loaded with flour labeled to indicate
that it was made in Minnesota, while
In reality 1t had been turned out by a
mill in Orrville, o.

been attempting to carry out man

last month regarding the marking OF
distillers' packages in conformity with
the pure food law, and has endeavored
to cause certain product heretofore
branded spirits to be designated as
"alcohol."
or course, In each case the makers
Of the product have made an effort to
protect their action in giving their
output the name that they choose, and
in the case at Cincinnati the revenue
collector has been temporarily en-
Joined by the Clifton Springs Distill-
ing Company from interfering with the
labels lettered 'spirits.p
In either case the public is fully
warned to beware of the output of the
concerns involved, and is armed
against acceptance of the goods in
question as bona fide material Of the
kind Indicated by the advertising, at
least until it can be established
whether the government agents are
right or the manufacturers are vindi-
Gated. AS the government seldom UNI
dertakes radical action in such cases
chances are that where there is smoke
there is apt to be some fire.
The crusade against impure food
and the false claims of the character
or origin of materials which are used,
either for .sustenance or for remedial
purposes in the human system, is one
that cannot be prosecuted too vigor-
ously, and 1t will receive the unquali-
fed approval of every honest person.
TIE merchant who sells clothing that
is shoddv and represents it to be all
wool; the manufacturer of tools OF
an inferior grade, which he foists on
the unsuspecting people as first class.
or any person who attempts to give
the public for it's money something
that is not as represented, is as dam
gerous as wolf in sleeps clothing
How particularly Is this true of those
who seek to feed the human body adul-
terated or rnisrepresented food that
goes into the vitals and may have an
effect in diminishing the length Of
days!
The ordinary merchant, dealing in
bogus articles, which he is not only
willing, but glad to market at an un-
warranted price, is as bad If not
worse than the out-and-out bunco ar
fist, but the men who prey upon the
thru the. medium of
the table or the sick room, are doubly
guilty, and should pay heavier PEN
atty than those whose rascality is APP
piled to the external things of life.

GOV. JOHNSON AND THIRD TERMS
(Tanna Herald)

Governor Johnson. of Minnesota
says he disapproves of third terms In
executive offices and that he shall not
be a candidate for reelection at the
end of his present term of office. Gov
ernor Johnson has the unique distinc-
ton of having been twice elected to
the highest office in a strongly repub-
lican state. He is an outspoken demo-
crat and the favor that has been shown
him is a. tribute to his personal char
acter and ability, and not to his polit-
ical predictions. His refusal to be a
candidate for a third term, altho great
pressure has been brought to bear on
him to induce him to consent. stamps
him as man gifted with large
measure Of common sense. His atti-
tude cannot but increase his popular
ity in the state which has already
given him abundant proof of popu-
larity.

THE BRYAN cINcH.

(Sioux City JournaD

The naming of delegates to the Den
yer convention Is practically over. and
the Bryan cinch has been made air
tight with hard solder The conven-
lions of the last two weeks removed
all possibility that the opposition can
make successful fight on the Ne
braskan. Bryan had things all his
own way last week, and the week
previous, adding 124 votes to his total,
which now according to unbiased es.
Inmates foots up to 724, with only 672
needed to nominate. -Four states
Georgia. Montana, North Carolina and
vermont-hold their conventions this
week and next. Montana has all along
been conceded to Bryan. The anti
Bryanites have been doing some lively
campaigning in the three remaining
southern states. and II there were any
probability Of defeating Bryan some OF
the southern delegates remaining to
be elected might be turned against
him. But with Bryan's nomination so
surely indicated the presumption Is
that all new delegations will be for
him. This will add ga votes to his
string, bringing the grand total up to
1888. or 116 more than needed to nom
mate.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES

The Denison Review says: "The
more we think about it the madden
we get at the Iowa delegation. The
delegates not only voted against hon
est representation, election of sena-
tors, by direct vote Of the people, pub
deity of campaign expenses and other
reforms for which it is well known
that Iowa stands; they not only
cheated Iowa out Of the vice presi-
dency, but they made possible the
selection OF .the allies choice for vice
president. No man on that delegation
who voted with the majority should
ever be sent to another convention.
They we're recreant, unfaithful and
unwise."

by long shot, and he will have a

future. He has formed many lasting
friendships tfruout the state and his
advice and counsel will always be in

of the finest lawyers in the country
and he will not be without plenty of
clients to keep him more than busy

1T would be unreasonable to expect a.
