SOWING DISSATISFACTION.

Quincy Wing: Many of the readers
OF the newspapers VIII recall the fran
tic appeal made to the prejndices OF
the people after the enactment of the
Mckinley tariff Law IN the year 1890.
Orators OF the opposition party went
into every town, village and hamlet,
and into almost every civil district,
and in lugubrious tones told how I'M
der that law the workingmen and the
consumers we're being oppressed and
robbed for the sake of the rich man
ufacturers of the country. Columns
and pages were written and printed in
the opposition papers and thousands
were made to believe what was being
said. 1t had the desired effect, and
in the election OF 1892. the opposi-
ton party was given full control OF
the government, the President and
both houses of congress. History re-
lates and memory recalls what came
In 1893.
Some of the opposition are getting
ready now to sing the same kind of a
song. to make the same sort OF plea,
for the same purpose, and with the
same disregard of the truth. AS an
Illustration, We note in some of the
papers the statement that when the
present tariff law is enacted, suit OF
clothes that may now be had for
twenty dollars. will cost the wearer
thfrty-five dollars. If such should be
truth, and it is not. no man will be-
lieye that the tariff has made the
change, unless it be some one who
can be made to believe two and two
make six.
Such an increase would be an in
crease of rs per cent, and no one who
knows enough to come in out of
the rain does not know that there Is
nothing In the tariff bills that have
passed in the house or in the senate
that has added as much as rs per
cent to the duty on goods Of which
suits Of clothing are made. 1t is a
bare appeal to prejudice, an appeal
based upon falsehood, nothing more.
nothing less. But 1t serves to show
the animus of those who are making
it. If it be true as is often said, that
a burned child breads the fire, such
an appeal will fall harmless; there are
too many people who are yet living
who have memories.

Iowa il Summer.

Ottumwa Courier: Iowa has never
been very keen in advertising itself
as an ideal summer resort, yet It may
be said in behalf of this state that It
never gets so hot here as to twist the
rails and wreck two trains in one
day. That brand of heat is reserved
for Colorado, which you will remem-

Dubuque Times-Journal: Those who
have read together which Prof.
Herrick OF the University Of Chicago
put forth some time ago. will recog-
nize similarity in two Of Its char
acters to Lame Bob" Eastman and
Mrs. woodill, the chief figures in the
latest tragedy Of national interest.
Prof. Herrick's central character
was a woman of wealth and position
who found life as the wife OF a sue
cessful traffic manager monotonous
and took a fancy to a lame author OF
fluent speech, large pretensions and
mediocre ability. She was recalled to
her senses when her brother, more
careful Of her honor than of his own,
was killed in quarrel with the man
who had alienated her affections.
Mrs. Woodill, it appears, was
married flirt, woman vain OF her
charms, which she employed to sci
various men crazy" about her Al

| to overtake her class. She fell II
love with perhaps the least worthy o

The lesson of her fate is too OBJ
lvious to require statement, but 1t by nj
means follows that others vii

avoid repeating it.

Elne For Corn.

Waterloo Reporter: A large number
of farmers were In town Wednesday
and are feeling jubilant over present
weather conditions, which are very
favorable for the corn and hay crops.
They reported the corn making Won
derful growth the past week and
with another week OF weather like tae
past the crop win be we'll up with
ether seasons at this time. The numer-
oas rains have furnished the soil with
plenty OF moisture and during the
present warm spell the growth has
been rapid. Nest OF tie crop has
been cultivated twice and many are
finishing the third time. Some OF the
early ones are finishing the work and
getting ready to begin harvesting the
hay crop after the 4th- The condition
Of the ground is splendid IN the way
of being clean of weeds, which Is an
Indication that farmers have not been
idle since the corn was large enough
TO be worked.
Oats are not as promising as they
were last season, owing mainly to the
wet cold weather OF me SpIiASs s4Aao
many fields are reported spotted
The present warm weather will not
be the best for this crop should It
continue much longer as it will hurry
the filling Of the head too much and
the kernel will be chaffy and light.
The hay crop is the heaviest 1t has
been in years and there Is an abund-
ance of it in sight as many Of the
farmers have been seeding q large
acreage of their farms the past two
years. The work Of putting up this
crop viii be commenced in many sec
ton OF the country the coming week
and from all reports there will be no
scarcity of hay for the coming year.
These reports from the agricultural
districts are not only hailed with JOY
by the farmers but by the city folks as
well. When there is an abundance OF
crops OF all kinds and prices are soar

keokuk Can; Peoria, Joliet and Rock
ford Can't

Chicago Record Herald: Keokuk is
lucky in being little west of the Mis-
sissippi river instead of little east
of it. If 1t were in Illinois it might
watch good systems of government in
other cities year in and year out with
out chance to profit by them Being
in Iowa it gets the chance. Such is
the difference In legislatures between
the state of Cummins and Dolliver and
the state of Lorimer and Cullom.
Keokuk has just voted on the adop-
| ton of the commission type of gov
eminent. Having observed It's opera
ton in neighboring cities such as Des
Moines and Cedar Rapids, the men OF
Keokuk showed how well they thought
by vote of 2,119 to $50. That is al
most four to one for the change.
The Iowa legislature gave Keokuk
and its sister cities the chance be-
cause 1t studied the operation of the
commission government law in other
states and had intelligence and honor
enough to want Iowa to have the good
thing too.
The Illinois legislature knows 9
good thing when it sees it-and alb
hors It. It's members are too much in
terested in different line of "goot
things" The Illinois senate sent I
committee to study such government
at Galveston and elsewhere. Thu
committee could not help approyini
1t strongly. Therefore the Legislature

THE CATHOLICS AND THE REPuR


What the Catholics want and what
they would do in certain contingencies
is the subject Of an interesting ana
sensible article in one of the leading
magazines. The writer of it analyzes
the ground for Protestant distrust and
suspicion Of the Catholics and reas.
sures his Protestant readers that the
patriotism of the Catholic laity is
as strong as anybody's else. Among
other things he relates a personal
recollection of the time of the Spanish
war, as follows:
II would recall a conversation that
had, when the war was imminent.
with staunch Catholic of Irish blood
who held a commission in state reg
iment. The subject was precisely the
duty of obedience to the pope. He said
that he would obey the pope in every.
thing; for, though at first sight he
himself might not think that what the
pope ordered was right, yet, on sec,
pnd thought, he would see that the
pope was the better Judge, and so he
would accept the popes judgment in
the matter. Very WE'LL replied, lei
US suppose that war will break out be
tween us and Spain. The pope viii
believe that the Catholic church will
suffer badly If Spain is beaten; so he
will forbid all American Catholics, I'm
der pain of accommodation, to take
part in the war. What will you do.
Throw up your commission What
will do?' he sEorted back. III tel

aryPHoip MARY. -

For two years Mary Mallon, cook
by profession, has been incarcerated
on North Brother Island, New York
city, treated like a leper, being COM
PEELED to occupy home by herself,
her only companion dog. She is kept
thus secluded by authority OF the
health department of New York.
This woman who is known to the
health department as Typhoid Mary"
is now suing for her liberty. declaring
that she is Illegally deprived Of 1t.
In opposing her application the
health department alleges that Mary
had become a menace to every person
with whom she came in contact, as,
while herself immune, she had the
power OF communicating typhoid fever
to others, invpluntarily, however.
Miss Mallon, until her Incarceration,
had been employed as cook by many
prominent families In New York city
and vicinity, among them that OF j
Coleman Drayton. 1t is said that the
strange power of her system to com
municate the typhoid germs was dis
covered when six of eleven persons il
wealthy family at Oyster Bay, II
which she was employed, were strick
en- with typhoid.
DR.. William H. Parks, of the healtl
department, says that Mary Mallon !

Crusade Against tuberculosis.

The columns of the Anne rican papers
and magazines are more and more
occupied of late with the news of the
Anti tuberculosis Crusade, and it
would appear that the importance of
the work is rapidly becoming appre-
ciated, The following is clipped from
a statement issued by authority of
DR.. Melvin G. Overlook. of Worcester,
Mass, who seems to be recognized as
authority on the subject:
"The war that is being waged
against this dread disease, consump-
ton, is unequalled by any conflict re-
corded in the history of any nation"
ave know for an absolute certainty
that with proper care the spread of
tuberculosis can be prevented. There
are S6,000,000 people in this country
today; 100000, authentic statisticians
estimate, die every year of tuberculo-
sis. Eleven and two-tenths per cent,
one ninth of all who die, are victims
of this disease. Such being the case,
1852, 900 persons living in America
today, are destined to die of tubercu-
losis unless the disease can be stamp
ed out.
