Democratic contents.
Primary Nominees.

In the more exciting features of the
congressional contest between the repub-
lican candidates, the democratic primaries
were somewhat eclipsed and lost sight
of. However, there were some warm con-
tests. w. +. Cleveland received the demo-
cratic nomination for congress- carrying
this county by about 500 majority over his
democratic opponents, H. B. Holsman. The
vote was, Cleveland, $50; Holsman, 191.
On the democratic county ticket, there
were but few contests worthy OF the name
except on sheriff, and it may yet require
the official count to determine the success
full candidate, Henry Bernhold Of Pleasant
township has an apparent lead OF about
rs over his democratic opponent Lindsey
The incomplete vote on coroner gives
G. III. Bower a majority of about 100 over
his opponent on the democratic ticket, H.
p. Benjamin
Frank NJ. True of Knox township and
F. w. Beck of Lewis township received
the democratic nomination for representa-
tive by comfortable plurallties.
A rather peculiar condition exists regard
ing the nomination for county supervisor
on the republican ticket. w. f. Baker of
Council Bluffs polled higher vote than
Felix Setz, but the fact that he is a resi-.
dren, also a successful nominee, seems to
dsqualify him from holding the office, ac-
cording to some legal authorities. This
proposition is, however, disputed by others,
and is up to the legal department Of the
county to decide. The vote for the repub-
lican supervisors was Baker. LASS; Chill

county convention, which will meet here

This convention will select the delegates
to the district and state conventions and
members of the party central committees
for the legislative. judicial and con-
gressional districts.
The progressive republicans, supporters
of Attorney General Byers are said tc
be charging Irregularities in the election
of the county convention delegates, on the
ground that some of the members of the
election boards In several of the Council
Bluffs precincts pasted stickers containing
the names Of the regular" republican
delegates on the ballots before the ballots
before tho ballots were given the voters
and were marked with the requisite cross
In some Of the precincts, it is alleged thai
the election board members handed the
voters two stickers, bearing the names
of the progressive and regular delegates
and indicated to- the voter which dele
CATION included Judge Smiths friends and
which General Byers' friends, requesting
the voter to make his own selections
as between the two republican factions.
| 1t is the intention of the Byers people
to carry their protest to the floor of the
county convention, having filed forma
! protests at the polling places against this
manner of voting for convention delegates
Some attorneys to whom the matter
has been referred. while admitting it's ir
regularity hold that the use Of the stlckeri
would not invalidate the election of sucl
| delegates.

CONSCIENCE TO FORCE
REFUND OF $4,000
Importer Who Beat Custom
Gives Up Loot.

New York, July Secretary OF
the Treasury Franklin MacVeagh, who
held a three hours conference in his
private office in the custom house, at
which Collector Loeb was present, de-
MED that it had anything to do with
a report that a certain wealthy New
York importer had offered to refund
100000 in duties of which he had de-
frauded the government in underval-
uations.
Indeed both the secretary and the
collector denied all knowledge of sucn
an offer.
In spite of these denials, it is said
that such an offer was made tenta-
lively and upon the condition that tho
MISREPRESENTATION importer was not
to be prosecuted, and that his name
was to be kept secret. Under these
conditions he is declared to have Of
fered to show his books in evidence
against himself, and thus prove that
he actually owed the government the
100000.
United States District Attorney
Wise refused to say a word yesterda.
concerning this case and at the Gus
tom house it was evident that all
who knew about it had been warned
to be silent.

A FARCIAL PUNISHMENT.
Jacksonville Times-Union.)

i
A few years ago it was learned that
an official in the department of agri-
culture had given out to spectators
advance information in regard to a
report that was sure Ito have decid
ed effect on prices. The secretary of
agriculture at first denied that leak
was possible, but as matter of fact a
great parade was made of a determin-
alton to infict exemplary punish
ment
Now after years Of delay that eX-
emplary punishment has been inflicted.
Two men were fined $500 each and one
was fined $500
The investigation disclosed the fact
that the sta,tistican who furnished the
information in advance was to have a
share in '..the killing" "The killing
,\)bably amounted to as much as ST.

MAY STOP EXPRESS COMPANY
EXTORTI0N.
(PhiIadelphia Record.)

Nobody who has occasion to do bus
mess with an express company in the
United States comes away from the
counter without the sensation of a
man WHO has had his pocket picked.
The late attempts to cloak their ont
rageous charges by doubling, trebling
and quadrupling their capitalization
and distributing their unearned sur
plus have drawn renewed attention to
their uncOnscientious plundering.
Now that it is settled that the Inter
state commerce commission has right
full authority to overhaul express
rates and bring them within measur-
able distance of reasonaDleness, no
time should be lost in making the at
tempt The express business is a rail
road business in nearly every detail.
1t has been surrendered by the rail
roads, to the vast injury of the COM
munity and of railroad stockholders.
Should the Interstate Commerce Com
mission fail to deal with express rates
so as to temper the atrocity of their
overcharges there will be an irresis-
tible demand upon Congress for the
establishment of parcels post SER
vice. The cost of living in this coun-
try might in this way be materially
reduced with benefit to the public rev.
enue.

HONESTY OF MEN
AND WOMEN.
(New York Times.)

Mark Twain was honored by multi
tudes for his qualities as a man, and
for nothing more than for his chiy-
alric, almost Quixotic, honesty. But
this he disclaims for himself in an an
ecdote printed in The Forum In his
own words
A man can be easily persuaded
to step outside the strict moral
line, but it is not so with woman.
1t was my wife who said: mo.
You shall pay 100 cents on the dol
lar, and | am with you all the
time" She kept her word, and it
is rather more due to her than to
myself
Accordingly, instead of paying &c
cents on the dollar and getting a legal
quittance, he paid 100 cents and died
an honest man.
But was it really necessary for him
to be so very honest as to take away
his own character and give it to his
wife? and he phrased it SO that he
seems to have ranked masculine hon
esty below feminine. How about that
very important matter Is everybody
agreed that women are more honest
than men How many women would
have done what Mark Twain did, with
out or with the inspiration of their
husbands? Or, having done so, how
many would have uttered words like
Marks in his posthumous tribute to
petticoat morals? To put matters con-
cretely, let us suppose that lady tel
ephbnes to her grocer to send her a
bottle of pyro, and that he sends "Old
Grow" and charges for pyro. Would
the ladies all pay the highest price?
Or would they say that the grocer had
made enough out of them in various
grocers' ways, and that the little wind
fall would be accepted? Are men or
women honester about paying their
car fares when the conductor does
not make a personal demand? What is
the proportion of male and female
shoplifters? These exciting questions
are doubtless better suited to cooler
weather, but Mark Twain is posthium-
ously responsible for throwing this
apple of discord in this current week

SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR
GEORGIA.

Out in Kansas they have taken hold
of the vagrant proposition in way
that should commend itself to Geor-
gia. In this state there is sad need of
labor at This time For the next two
months farmers, especially, will be
unable to meet the demands for able
bodied men to get the grass out of the
fields and put the crop in position 10
do something. Then the picking
season will be on and further use
will be had for them. But the supply.
in all likelihood, will be behind the de-
mand and the business interests of
every county in the state will suffer
as a result.
While this condition prevails
throughout Georgia there will be
thousands, even tens of thousands, OF
able bodied negroes loafing around the
railroad stations or the streets of the
towns and cities, hardly lifting a
hand to support themselves. There is
ample law to reach them bur mighty
lot of ineffective law enforcing.
Out in Kansas one judge has taken
hold of the situation in way that
gives promise of remedying the evil
somewhat so far as the territory reach
ed by his court is concerned. In
Kansas City the judge of the Munich
pal Court has announced that hereafter
he will sentence all Migrants to tae
Kansas wheat fields while the harvest
season is on. If they refuse to go and
are caught lettering it is hard work for
six months for them, The police were
directed to arrest all Migrants within
the jurisdiction limits of the court.
If the police and judges throughout
Georgia would cooperate there would
speedily be no dearth Of Labor If the
officers rounded up the loafers and the
judges gave them the alternative of
six months making good roads or a
hiking to the cotton fields where they
can get good pay it is probable that
the cotton fields would have the big
gest supply of labor they have known
in years.
1t is a disgrace to the administra-
ton of law in Georgia that thousands
of husky negro men are loafing while
the crops are threatened with a seri-
Gus loss because of the lack of work
ingmen. Why the police and consta-
bles throughout the state don't get
busy it is hard to see.
Perhaps if head bounty were put
on the Migrants, say S. paid to the Of
ficer for every idler arrested and
made to work, either for the public or
for a private employer, relief would
quickly be furnished There isn't any
money or much glory to be had in
arresting Migrants as things are, and
it might be that if the legislature add
ed a fee to the existing law, to so 10
the impounding officer. a decided ac-
tivity would be manifested in police
circles throughout the state. One
thing is certain, it is an outrage that
farmers and other employers of labor
should be hard put to it to get men
when one can hardly look in any di-
rection in city or county without see
ing loafers, amply able to do a good
days work but living off of the com
munity at large without giving any re-
turn in service.

WONDERWORLD.

(Robert Louis Stevenson.)
To the heart of youth the world is a
highwayside
Passing forever, ne fares; and on
either hand,
Deep in the garden pavilions hide,
Nestle in orchard bloom, and far on
the level land
Call him with lighted lamp in the
eventide.
Thick as the stars at night when the
moon is down,
Pleasures assail him He to his
nObler fate
Fares; and but waves a hand as he
passes on,
Cries but a Wayside word to her at
the garden gate,
Sings but boyish stave and his face
is gone.

CROPS KEEPING down POLITICS

The condition of the crops through
out large portion of Georgia is do
ing as much to keep down political
discussion and resulting discord as
all other agencies combined. When
farmers are threatened with the loss
of considerable part of the cotton
crop, for which they have labored, ex-
pended their money and planned, when
they see the grass burying the staple
on which all their financial hopes
are based, and every day brings its
clouds and its rains, their minds are
more apt to be turned to the farms
and the fields than to Smith or
Brown.
Over much of the state there IS
ample work to keep the farmers and
all the labor they can secure Busy
for the next two or three weeks,
cleaning out the cotton and endeavor,
ing to snatch crop from conditions
that have been almost ruinous.
While their attention is centered on
this they are not apt to do much
| fretting over the political situation,
not apt to waste much times in aim
| less discussions as to THE merits of
| the candidates and their policies.
And in the cities the attention of
the business men in likewise so con-
centrated on the crops situation and
their own business affairs that they
too, are decidedly disinclined to stir
| up rumpus among themselves over
the question of the gubernatoriai
succession.
The Atlanta daily papers can be re-
| lied on to seek to kick up as big a
political rumpus as possible, but judS-
ing from the existing conditions the
outlook is that for the next three Or
four weeks, anyway, it is going %
be hard up hill job to stir up Geor-
gians to any thing approaching the
| fever that seized them two and four
years ago. And Georgia is to be con-
graduated that such is the case. 1t
wouldn't be a bad thing if this held
true until the very day Of the pri-
mary.
