we were seated In the dining room.

the round table, and Sister Margaret
had placed them in a tall vase SO that
Rosalind was well screened from her
aunt's direct gaze. The sister had
managed admirably. Rosalind's hair
was swept up in exactly Helen's poma-
dour; and in one of Helen's white
gowns, with Helen's own particular
shade of scarlet ribbon at her throat

more complete than l had thought 1t
before. But we were cast at once
upon deep waters.

Senator Sinnott was introduced as
the only man in the legislature who
had spoken for the employers liabil-

ing out that Senator Selling and 9TH

He congratulated the country on the

A STATE CANDIDATE.

The people have been so engrossed
with national politics that too little
attention has been paid to the selec
ton of state officers, upon whose in
tegrity and competency so much OF
our welfare depends. Among the can
didates for state Office we are glad to
note that w. S. Allen, of Fairfield, has
announced himself as candidate for
secretary of state. Mr.. Allen is a
man who has been tried and proven
in public life, both as representative
from Van Buren, county and as state
senator from Jefferson county. He
has shown himself to be strong, able
and conscientious legislator. His ex.
perience has given him thorough
knowledge of the practical workings
of the state government. He has been
before the public for number of
years and in al that time there has
been no spot upon his integrity and
he has come through the ordeal of
fiery campaigns with clean hands and
a clean reputation. Originally in favor
Of Hon. LATE Young for United States
senator, he was one of those who
made possible the election of Kenyon,
when Young was no longer posi-
bility. For this he deserves the graf
itude of Senator Kenyon's friends in
the Tenth district and throughout the
state.
So far his only opponent is Ed
Chassell, one of the spies of the old
kitchen cabinet, who has held the luc-
rative Office of state binder for num-
Der of years and who has been much
more than repaid for anything that
he has done for huamnity or for the
repuDffcan party. Mr.. Chassell is a
printer and for this reason some of the
cult have felt that they must support
him. Mr.. Chassell was never an ed
itor, his paper showed that, in fact
we remember him best as gentle
man who, under cover of soliciting
orders for blank books, was also So
Letting orders for commercial job
printing and thus taking from the ed
itors Of Iowa where he could, a portion
OF their legitimate support. We do
not feel that the country newspapers
owe Mr.. Chassell any deeper debt of
gratitude than the country merchants
owe to the Chicago mail order houses.
Mr.. Allen is thorough-going repub-
lican. In his own section he is re-
spected and held in confidence by both
factions of the party on account of his
eminent fairness and honesty. He
would bring ripe experience and great
ability to the office and there would
be no faint of graft or scandal dur
ing his administration. Moreover, he
would be non-factional and his selec-
ton at the primaries would do much
to wipe out divisive lines.
