Care Of Lamps.

The bowl of the lamp should be kept
full of oil, but when not in use the wick
should be turned low to keep the oil
from oozing out on the buyner. The
burners should be cleansed occasionally
by boiling them for half an hour in q
strong solution of Gold Dust washing
powder. Wipe on cloth and they will
be as good as new. To clean the Chin

has been added teaspoonful of Gold

Accompanies the Water Power Engi.
neer to New York Last Nigh.
to Give Assistance in
Enterprise.
COOPER CAME FOR HIM
Rapid Progress is Being Made in the
Project and Only Election Re-
suit Awaited-Looks
Good.

Hugh l.. Cooper, who made a brief
visit to Keokuk Monday, left again
last evening for New York City to
prosecute his work OF financing the
Keokuk Water Power enterprise. He
frankly admitted to Gate City report
er that greater energy was being put
into the projec.. than ever before and
that the outlook was the best at any
times since he had taken up the propo-
sition. That the result of the election
will have a very important bearing on
the enterprise he did not hesitate to
state and he believed the. the result
would be satisfactory so that an early
campaign could be started at Keokuk.
Logan Goes to New York.
In order to facilitate matters Judge
VIM. Logan accompanied Mr.. Cooper
to New York City last ever ng and will
remain with the engineer for several
days giving his time and wisdom to
the local enterprise for which he with
other local men have worked so hard
and effectively for many years. Judge
Logan, A. e. tombstone and other Keo.
kuk men have been making personal
sacrifice of their time to help bring
about a contamination of the long
| cherished water power and the fact
that Mr.. Logan has consented to go
with Mr.. Cooper to New lc-k only
adds additional evidence to the value
of his good sense and judgment in this
undertaking. That the outlook for the
power is more promising than at any
time since Mr. Cooper took up the is
sue there is no doubt.
Mr.. Cooper's visit to Keokuk was fol-
the express purpose of getting Judge
Logan to go with him to New Yorl
City and help him in the water powe
deal. This community owes more t,
Judge Logan than 1t will ever b abb
to repay.

WE HOPE NOT

To the Editor of The Republican: Sir-Are the dissraceful scenes of the federal officials oc Florida to be re- enacted by the federal officials of Ar izona? Forty thousand federal officials were instrumental in forcing the re- nomination of Mir. Harrison at the Minneapolis convention in 1S92-the result was what might have been ex- pected.
 President Harrison was an able and clean man-by his treatment of public men and his disposition to dominate and control things to his own personal liking he was thought by many of the best part men in the country not 10 be the strongest man to nominate. His weakness elected Cleveland and the country suffered thereby. In the coming election the republican party has no walkaway and it will take the strongest man to win. Who that strong man is can best be determined after a calm consideration of the situ- ation by the delegates assembled at the national convention. It is a fool ish policy to instruct the delegates for any one man.

 Are you in favor Of an uninstructed delegation from Arizona to the TO- publican national convention? Send twenty-five words. Answer.
 ARIZONA DAILY STAR
 We received the foregoing with mingled emotions. of wonder and re sentiment We wondered whether the exchangc editor of the Star is a blind man; whether the Star possesses the sublimest humorist of its age; wheth- CT some enemy hath done this thing and inspired the Star man to an ap- pearance of unholy curiosity regarding The Republicans position respecting instructed and uninstructed dele gations
 The Republican has not complied with the request to answer. Notwith- standing the rigid regulations of the Western Union for the purpose Of se- curing absolute secrecy respecting all messages deposited with it for trans mission, even the Western Union sometimes leaks. Operators are now and then unfaithful and again out siders with evil intent tap the wires.
 If The Republican should accede to the Stars request. 1t could not have absolute assurance that within twen- ty-four hours half tlre people in Ari- zona would not be informed as to it's opinion regarding the instruction of delegates to the republican national convention.
 We may say, however. that a great many constant readers of The Repub- lican have somehow gained an inn pression, strengthened by the flight of time. that this paper does not favor an instructed delegation. Of course The Republican is not to be held re- sponsible for the impressions of its readers. But on second thought, and impelled wholly by a sense of jour nalistic courtesy The Republican at the risk of violating it's own confi- dence. will whisper to the Star that it is dead against an instructed del egation. We trust the Star with the same degree of courtesy toward The Republican will regard this as a priv iaged communication and let it go no farther.

THE WORK OF THE DEMAGOGUE.
 Under rhe head of What the Rail- road Haters Have Done" the Los An geles Times thus reasonably accounts for the present railroad situation:
 For two years or more the railroads Of the country had so much to do that the car builders could not turn out rolling stock to meet the demand. The railroads, pressing in vain the con- structOrs to hurry the work, were harshly criticised because they were unable to promptly meet every de- mand.
 In six months we have recovered en- tirely from the ills Of pressing pros perity" and today there are nearly 100000 idle cars standing on the sidings with nothing to do. A year ago the car shortage was 104,22O cars. This shows a decrease of nearly 5OO,0OO in demand to move business offered.
 The idle equipment of the railroads at this time is worth betwecn S75O. GOO. GOO and $1.O00 100000. The interest is costing the railroads Si.OO0. GOO a month
 The socialist orator, the reforming agitator. the political demagogue are wonderful when they get hold of a pad of paper and long sharp pencil and figure out answers to problems that they do not comprehend. These per sons, so handy at fingers" have fingered" the railroads into a deficit by their pOpularistic laws and now the railroads are figuring how many trains they can take off in order to make ends meet, what cut in salaries and wages must be made, how many hands they can do without.
 And the people? An, yes the people in whose behalf all this rerorIning was done must wait for 10 o'clock train if the one at 9 is taken off. and the men may shift as best they can with an empty dinner pail on the shelf ln- stead of the full one in hand.
 The best thing for the people to do would be to take the socialist orator. the yellow editor the rampant re- former. the noisy agitator. and all their ilk. and put them at useful work making good roads. for example
