MERELY A SUGGESTION.

w are informed that Andrew Car
negie is very DESTROYS of engraving
his name on a library building in
Caldwell as we'll as in the hearts of
the people of Caldwell. He is willing
to spend ten or fifteen thousand dol
lars in order to do it. If there is
anything Caldwell needs it is ten or
fifteen thousand dollars. Therefore
we had better grab the bacon. IN
making the seizure let us be as wise
as serpents but we need not mind
the dove end of the injunction. The
Tribune has a valuable idea. 1t is
this. This city has a magnificent
city hall that cost $25,OO0OO. We dc
not need it all. Our proposition is
that we permit Mr.. Carnegie to en-
grave his name anywhere on the
building he may desire for ten thous-
and dollars cash. He. will jump at
the chance and the city can liquidate
its warrant indebtedness. What
think you?

Capital News Should Investigate.


If the Capital News would consult
some of the men who know the in
nermost workings of some Of. the soil
ed doves who are daily pulling the
wool over their mothers eyes and
carrying their professions to a high
degree of progress, perhaps it might
induce some of them to stay at home
long enough to wash their dirty
dishes and pick up from the floor
some of their cast-off clothing which
they scatter around when they "tog
up" to go out on the streets to
catch fresh male sucker. There are
men who know all these things, and
they do not manage loan insurance
companies, either. Would the Capt.
tai News desire some reliable data
concerning some of those brick-hair-
ed, taffy, heired and gray-haired flu
zies, who make life plague to them
selves, disgust to decent men and
husbands, and a living lie to moth
ers, brothers and children? Yes, or
no? M. A. x.

SENATOR sHAwHANs PLAN.

On another page of this issue of
The Tribune will be found bill pro
posed at the last session of the legis-
lature for the purpose of amending
the tax deed provision of the state
revenue law. AS stated, this bill
passed the senate but in the hurry
and hustle of the last hours of the
legislature failed of passage in the
house. The bill was introduced by
the senate judiciary committee at the
request of Senator B. P. Shawhan.
The proposed law has most com
mendable feature and that seems to

HAwLEY IS COMING AROUND.

In discussing the cash valuation
question in our issue of May 10Th of
the present year The Tribune recon-
mended that Governor Hawley call a
special session of the legislature for
the purpose of revising the revenue
laws of the state. We said: an the
opinion of the Tribune there is only
one solution of the question. The
thing to do is to call a special session
of the legislature. The cash valua-
ton is all right provided the proper
legislation has been provided in ad-
vance. At this session the
matter could be gone into from the
ground up. At the present time
there would be nothing to distract the
attention of the legislature from the
question at issue. At the next regu-
lar session there will be a great many
other things to take the attention of
the legislature, among them the
election of United States senator"
Last May Governor Hawley was
too busy educating the people to defy
the law in one instance and uphold it
in another, as he was too busy during
the session of the legislature playing
politics with the Mormons to give
the revenue laws of the state any at
tention, to give Our suggestion any
thought. However, dilatory as he is,
he finally gets around. After six
months he has arrived at a sensible
conclusion-about arrived, we should
have said, as it is a serious question
whether Governor Hawley ever did
arrive at conclusion.
The Statesman in its last Wednes-
days issue says as follows:
Before leaving the city last even
ing to be absent in the east until the
day before Christmas, Governor Haw-
ley informed a representative of the
Statesman that he had been in con-
sultation with Judge John F. Mac
Lane and Frank Martin, former at
torney general of the state, on several
recent occasions, with a view to Sc
curing the services of these gentle
men in the preparation of a new rev.
enue law.
Il consider these two gentlemen
thoroughly we'll qualified" the gov
ernor said, ito undertake a task of
this kind, and, knowing both as pub
lie spirited citizens | have made a
formal written request to them, to COL
iaborate in the preparation of an act
of this kind"
Governor Hawley says also in
this connection that he has been Civ
ing serious consideration to the cues
ton of special session of the legis-
lature to De called in February or
March next for the purpose of en-
acting. a new revenue law. He says
that if Judge MacLane and Attorney
Martin comply with his request for
the preparation of an act upon the
subject that he will Immediately have

An Old Man, But Hale and Heart,

AN Via man, but f1ale ana hearty.
c. w. Cooper Of this city is in re-
ceipt of copy of the Dubuque, Iowa,
Telegraph Herald, which gives an ac-
count of the SIND birthday of his
brother, A. A. Cooper of that city.
Mr.. Cooper is hale and hearty. He is
the founder of the Cooper Wagon
company and has been in business 65
years. On his Sind birthday he gave
expression to the following healthy
sentiment:
my happiest days have been when
l was at work in the shop. In all of
my years at the forge and in the
shop | have demanded of those I'M
der me that nothing but the best
work shout be turned out
Ihave been successful, it is true,
but not beyond what believe is pos
sible for young men today. l be-
lieve there are great possibilities in
this country for the young man who
will work hard and intelligently. To
be sure, success may mean many
hardships, but ENERGY, honest and
application to business will accom-
plish the desired end"
The old gentleman is evidently nei-
Their Populist or Socialist, upon
which we congratulate him as we'll as
upon his eighty-two years.

you are willing for the Mormons to

CONGRESSMAN M'klNnEYs VIEW

Hon. James Mckinney, representa-
tive in congress from the Fourteenth
Illinois district, called upon the editor
of the Rock Island Union the other
day and conversed freely concerning
the condition of legislation and the
work that is before the new congress.
He believes that the tariff will be re-
yised in a way that will mean reyis-
ion and expressed himself as not
wholly in sympathy with the attempts
at revision made during the past ex.
ira session While he does not con-
denim all of the bill and the schedules
contained therein, he does say that
they were ill-timed and were largely
the result of the Democratic major
ity's attempt to play politics.
IN speaking of the matter he was
positive in his statement that the
next congress would be able to get al
I the matter from scientific basis;
+ that there was no question but that
those schedules which most needed
revision would be reported upon in a
way that would meet with the approx

done with a view to the best interests
of trade and with constant eye up
! on the benefits to the consumer, and
/ that the country can well afford to
await this action before passing
Judgment.
He does not fear the passage Of cur
rency legislation that will pay to the
benefit of Wall street. On the Other
hand he says that there has been
such pronounced expression of dis
approval on the part of the financia
interests of the whole country against
any laws which will tend TO place the
east in control of the money condi
lions that it will be impossible for The
friends of Wall street to put through
legislation favorable to retention o
its hold on the country, Elasticity

ban the practice Of the roads IN
quartering employees in temporary
houses on the right Of way and IN
abandoned box cars.
In addition, Commissioner Barney
of the state food and dairy commits
sion is contributing his share to the
cleaning up campaign. He is directing
orders against dirty diaries, unsani-
tary food factories, bad restaurants,
etc. In fact it has come to be recog-
nized that if nobody else has the right
to order cleaning up Barney can do it.
The new live stock board organized
under an Iowa law of recent making
is also engaged in directing clean,
ing UP campaign in the interest OF
better health for the live stock OF the
state.
Fortunately Iowa has not had any
serious epidemic or any great calami
ty. but state and local authorities are

ADVICE TO ATTORNEYS.

The Docket, published by the West
Publishing Company. st. Paul, gives
some good advice to youthful, ambi-
tious and struggling attorneys which
NAV be of advantage to some OF the
members of the legal profession IN
Keokuk. The counsel in question is
thus plainly worded:
in promulgating your esoteric
cogitations and in articulating your
superficial sentimentalitie and ami
cable philosophical or psychological
observations, beware of platitudinous
ponderosity Let your conversational
communication possess clarified con-
ciseness, a compacted comprehensive
ness, coalescent consistency and a
concatenated cogency. Eschew all
conglomerations of flatulent garrulity,
jeiune babblement and asinine affecta,
lions. Let your extemporaneous des.
lcanting and unprecedented expatia'
tions have intelligibility and veracious
vivacity without rhodomontade or
Ithasonical bombast. And furthermore
sedulously avoid all polysyllabic pro
Humidity, pompous proclivity. psittace
Gus vaucity, ventriloquial verbositI
and vaniloquent vapidity. Shun double
entendre, prurient jocosity and pestif
erous profanity, obscurant or apparent

IMMORTALITY.

lWM0h ALL
o friend of mine, whom l shall see no
more,
How little have the white sails
borne to sea;
All that love wrought still fingers
here with me;
Still, still we stand together by the
shore.
Men say of travellers: "They are far
away"
And of the dead they say: Their
souls are gone
Yet now l know we keep the soul
alone;
Bodies may travel, die-the spirits
stay.
Now hath God blessed me as the blind
are blessed,
Who, losing sight, have lost one
sense alone;
For all the powers of my soul are
grown,
The vision vanished, memory keeps
the rest.
And have but to bark to hear thy
song;
Be still to feel thy presence, cheer
and grace;
And in my dreams I see thy shin
ing face,
Angel of God, to bid me still BE
strong!"
Charles P. Cleaves.

The Fremont Voters

The Fremont voters will have
their fifth Annual Rally at Burlington,
Sept, 81. The meeting will be held in
the Congregational church at l p. m.

members of the G. A. R. and ". r. C.
and the public cordially invited. Ma

There are more than hundred en-

should be liberal
TO recall impressions OF even so
important an event as was vote for
John C. Fremont for President over
half century ago is difficult mat
ter. 1t would be of small
importance unless suggested by
an authentic history of the
times, and strengthened by it.
At that time the Silver-Gray
Wings tried to maintain organization
leaving the question of slavery to
fate or the progress Of events. The
Democrats favored its extension to
| new territory or at least did not OPP
pose it. The abolitionists did not
| cease their demand, that the slaves
should be set free. The colonization
| lists insisted that the negroes be
bought and paid for by the govern
ment and deported to Africa. The
Know-Nothings hedged by attempting
/ to curb the growth of the Catholic
/ element, to limit immigration, to
put none but Americans on guard, "
| to elect postmasters, not seeming to
care whether slavery was voted up
or voted down" But the entire fer
ment was concerning slavery. When
Fremont and Dayton we're nominated
and the platform favored the limiting
of slavery to its then territory the
/ lines were so clearly marked that
men of all parties had to make choice
Thus the old parties were dissolved

existence.

that this taunt was SO CALLING. They

PElGN,

The order has gone forth from the
state FIRE marshals office in Des
Moines that Iowa municipalities must
clean up at once. 1t has been found
that in many places there is need OF
immediate reform in this particular
in order that the cities may be safer
from disastrous fires. The state board
of health, also. has inaugurated a
cleanup crusade. 1t has given notice
to the railroads that they must DO
their share in lessening the chances
of the spread OF disease in epidemic
form. The board scents danger in the
fact that sanitary conditions are not
observed to any great extent on pas

an amusing fellow, capable of making

a MERlIEp TRIBUTE.

The Quincy papers are still taking
about Engineer Hugh L. Cooper and
the great product of his genius that
is now taking form here in keokuk.

all paid their respects to him editorial
Nv. The last named paper in lead
ing article says:
Only man whose intellect has
the capacity for reaching out into the
future and making tangible the
promise Of the years to come, could
have dreamed of the great Keokuk
dam and have made it growing
reality. Only man whose sense OF
proportion were economic, who could
appreciate the values of varied com
mercial enterprise, could have made
the address to the members of the
Chamber of Commerce last even
