This is from the Sac Sun: Why
should we turn out in his old age the
man who has rendered us good serv-.
ice?' inquire some of the supporters
of Senator Allison. They seem to hold
to the view that when man Is once
elected to a congressional seat. that
seat is his property for life, unless 1t
is wrested from him. However, the
constitution provides for terms OF
service. and at the expiration OF those
terms the man is out. Then the ques-
ton is who best can represent the peo-
pie for the ensuing term, and the duty
of the voters is to send to congress
for the new term the man who can
render the most of the kind Of serv-
Ice wanted"
Says the Dubuque Times-Journal:
"Des Moines has a womans club that
will hardly be criticized as some or
ganizations composed of women are
criticized 1t is club composed of
mothers who are seeking means OF
keeping girls off the streets From all
reports such club Is badly needed
in Des Moines, and, it might be added,
in many other Iowa cities. And II the
women succeed in devising some means
to accomplish their object, they will
have done more than all the organiza-
lions preceding theirs"
The editor of the Thompson Courier
retrospects thus: with this Issue

tor and manager of the Courier. While

The Knoxville Express thus lectures

neighborhood calls, one neighbor din

make local news of them. Plenty Of
things happen in quiet neighborhood
if correspondents will look for them.

devoted half an hour to calling Cum

must those present have thought Of
such a bitter and personal arraign-
ment of the head of the republican
party in Iowa? Cummins has been
three times elected governor, q dis
tinction no other Iowan bears. So Dol

ernor, but the majority Of the voters
of Iowa who three times called him to

have tried to convert them.

Davenport Democrat.)

1t is generally conceded that the CALI
ing of Secretary of the Treasury Shaw
to Davenport from Washington two
years ago to take the side of one OF
the factions. in a republican quarrel,
was a political mistake He hurt the
cause he supported more than he
helped it. This was indicated by the
ndignity shown Mr.. Shaw in the state
convention, and in other ways.
1t is the common opinion that the
speech made last evening at the
Grand Opera house by Senator Dolli-
yer was another blunder, and bad
one. The mistake was not so much in
bringing Mr.. Dolliver here as it was
in the senator's failure to meet expec-
tations. His effort in behalf of Sena-
tor Allison was hard disappointment,
altogether unworthy the reputation OF
Senator Dolliver The effect was dis
heartening And if it is repeated IN
the other cities where he is to speak
many votes now for Mr.. Allison Will
be driven away from him.
Had Mr.. Lane or Mr.. Chamberlin,
who were expected to address the
meeting at greater length, and both of
whom were on the stage, been given the
opportunity they would have left
much better impression because they
would have abused Cummins less,
been more appreciatfve of Mr.. Allison,
left themselves out of consideration,
and presented facts that have telling
force in them.
Dolliver showed no tact whatever.

A MIDGET MoNoPoLY.

1t Is the consensus of opinion, except
among those directly interested, that
monopolies tend to oppression and that
In many instances the good which they
accomplish Is Offset by the injury they
inhict. In this matter. as in most
mundane affairs. there are striking ex-
ceptions to the rule.
The Philadelphia Record has I'M
earthed a business monopoly which
VIII excite interest, unaIloyed with
envy. and whoch does not merit acri-
monious criticism. According to the
Record. Admiral Dot, the dwarf. who
was at one time a formidable rival of
rom Thumb, can claim to monopolize
the business Of bookkeeping by
owarfs. A correspondent of the Phil
adelphia newspaper describes the inn
which has been established by the
dfminutive Admiral at White Plains,
and his claim to the oldest hotel In
the country, If not in the world, will
not be disputed.
Inc entire tavern stan is made up
OF dwarfs. The admiral himself in tf1ir-
ty inches high. while his handsome and
accomplished wife, who presides over
the establishment as hostess, towers
one inch In height above her husband.
The head waiter is the exact height
or Boniface Dot, and the clerk is
midget a fraction or an inch taller than
the proprietor. In addition to his re-
sponsfble duties as owner and man.
ager OF the Midget's hotel, Admiral
Dot Is member of the volunteer fire
department and responds regularly to
alarms with the other boys, all of
whom exceed him greatly in stature.
AS might be expected the midget's
tavern is the mecca of automobile par
ties and pleasure seekers generally.
and the Admiral and his wife are ac-
cumulating riches. although they are
not gaining in stature. The little cou-
pie have been blessed with two chill
dren. a boy and a girl. both of whom
are Of normal size, and are already
taller than their parents.

| OF 10 per cent. for the purpose of
helping them out Of purely temporary
difficulties. and agreed to return to
the old level as soon as conditions
permitted. there would be little COM
plant. Our railroad magnates are not
yet philanthropists; and though gen.
orally Iarge-minded, far-sighted and
very able men, there are few among
them who could be depended upon to
resist the temptation of such a great
speculative opportunity. A movement
that contemplates putting railroad
property on an even more profitable
basis than existed before the panic.
and Is accompanied by an unparallel-
ed accumulation of idle funds carries
with IT speculative opportunity OF
the most dangerous Sort Its very pos
s1bilities make it highly inimical to
public welfare; and political opinion
will surely be strongly aroused against
the railroads, stirring up another wave
of hostile legislation still more radical
than the one now subsiding. 1t is to
be hoped the railroads will carefully
consider the effects of their present
movement which has been planned
with more earnestness and care than
Is generally supposed. Railroad man
ayers are by no means a unit on the
proposal, and they will certainly do
we'll to prudently consider the conse-
quences they will bring down upon
themselves by inviting a fierce specu-
lative debauch, not to mention anoth-
er outbreak Of public hostility that
could only end in injurious legislation
and act as further stimulus to the
desire for government ownership"
