ALDR1cH AND ALLISON.
(Odebolt Chronicle.)


Senator Allison's political friends
claim that he is one of the greatest
living authorities on financial legisla-
ton. Why doesn't he round out his
public career by devising measures
which will prevent currency famines"
in the future? He has frequently adj
mitted that something should be done,
but, with his habitual caution, has al
ways waited for some one else to do it.
Instead of Allison, it Is Aldrich, the
Standard Oil senator, who is always
mentioned in connection with plans to
reform the currency system; and such
plans are always designed to benefit
the people whom Aldrich represents.
Aldrich proposes; Allison acquiesces.
For twenty years the Iowa senator has
followed the lead of Aldrich on nearly
every measure which has come up In
the senate. Aldrich is man Of abili-
ty, but his brains belong to the Stand
ard Oil Company.

,('addie--I heard vera we'll what ye
said the furst time. I'm thinking about

A significant summary of facts has
Just been given in the Popular Science
Monthly" by Professor Homer G.
Price, of Ohio State university. Eight
years ago more than thirty-iive farms
cut Of every one hundred were operat-
ed by tenants, while 23.3 per cent OF
all farm lands-l. e., both developed
and undeveloped acreage-was rented
to transient occupants. Rural land
lordsm is thrice as prevalent In this
land Of economic freedom" as in
overpopulated Germany. and statistics
taken today would probably show that
the high tenancy rate Of France-4T.2
per cent - Is almost IL not quite
equalled. When it is considered that
the relative number OF tenants has
been increasing in spite OF the millions
of acres taken UP annually for forty
years in homestead grants. the magni-
tude Of this economic transformation
becomes still more impressive.
In keeping with a resolution passed
by the city fathers OF Vienna, the body
OF Ognaz Jacob Heger will be removed
from the Chicago cemetery and placed
In a grave of honor in the Central
cemetery. where II will receive perpet-
ual care at the expense OF the city.
Heger was the pioneer OF stenography
in Austria and the director OF the bu-
reau Of stenograDhy in the Austrian
parliament of 1S4S. He was a pupil
of Galbelsberg and did much toward
spreading the system in his country.
One OF his prominent pupils was Conn,
who became official parliamentary
stenographer in 1860.

The campaign against Cummins last

million dollars. If during that cam
paign Senator Allison had written a
letter of half a dozen lines condemn

the party in the state there would now
be no opposition to his reelection

not Allison's long suit. Blythe and
Hubbard ruled Iowa with an iron grip

ALincoln Story.

Senator Henry Moore Teller, while
discussing the coming Republican con-
vention with number Of his fellow
Senator's before leaving for his Colora-
do home, told an interesting and new
story about the nomination Of Abra-
ham Lincoln at Chicago in 1880. Teller
moved to Illinois from Binghampton,
N. r.. in 1853, and became acquainted
with LineolI. Lincoln had been carry
ing on series OF debates with Dsug-
las, but nobody thought people outside
Of Illinois had paid any attention to
them.
Teller was sent up to Chicago to ex-
tend the '.glsd hand" to delegates in
behalf of Lincolr. He was getting
along first-rate until somebody rushed
int his Office and told him Abe Lin
s,ln was in town. Also that he was
going around TO different hotels and
clubs and other hsp ging-out places OF
the delegates and mixing in with them
ia friendly way, Shaping them on
the back and telling them funny
stories.
Teller rushed out and finally located
Lincoln ard told him that 1t would
never do for him to etay in Chicago,
in asmuch as he was a candidate for
President. Lincoln replied that 1t Was
nobody's business whether he was In
Chicago, st. Louis, or any other place;
and also that he had no show in the
world of being nominated. Teller in
sisted it was absolutely necessary that
he leave Chicago at once and go to his
home and stay there. Lincoln was in
dignant, bit consented to follow Tel
ler's advice.
When they shook hands just before
Lincoln's departure ne SAID to Teller:
at is not because my presence in
Chicago is Objectionable to you. You
think | am so blamed ugly that every
delegate | meet will lose me vote,
therefore / will go home"
