June titlt, at 10 30 p. m., a mass convention of all persons wlio art in favor of reform in county, state and national affairs, for tlie purpose of considering the advisability of putting a full county ticket in the field this fall. It is desired that this meetingjsiiall be a representative gathering of all persons having the interests of our county at heart If the convention decides to put a ticket in the field, a central committee will be appointed. Everyone in sympathy with the aims and objerts of the people's party are requested I attend in order that a full expression of opinion m.y be obtained. J. A. TouM.sn"! i. II. LONOWA-i G. 8.

Iowa lias a per capita debt of$101 according to the census returns, and yet members of the people's party arc called calamity howlers there as well as in Kansas The Denver people presented Presi dent Harrison v.ith a ilrcr blick". This was suggestue, but highly inap propriate considering llanison's hos tility to that metal. The burning of the hatchet between Cleveland and Hill at the New York banquet docs not seem to hate been enduring. The feud lias broken forth again, on the already harassed democ racy. Tb.2 railroads or tills country are practical' under control of less than a score of men. That i, the 'X millions of people in the country are depend ent upon and the mercy of these men. By this concentration of power, extor tionate freight chaiges can bo made with impunity. Hut let the abuses continue; lot the water continue to Le pumped into the stock, let extortionate charges continue to be exacted and let corporation arrogance increase, for all will but hasten the day when the peo ple sovereign still will arise and ex act retribution. Lieutenant Schwatka's stories about finding the mosqiiitos in Alaska a ter rible nuisance are confirmed by E. Hazard Wells, the chief of the Arkell expedition, who has just returned front our northern posession. 3Ir. Wells and his party came near starving in the summer because all the game had left the lowlands of the interior for a range of gigantic mountains to the north. Caribou, lor instance, arc driv en to high altitudes to avoid the 11103 quitos. Concerning the killing of bears by the mosquito, Mr. Wells is prepared to vouch for the truth of the statement. "They settle around the eyes of the poor brutes and cause in flammation followed by blindness. The bear then either starves to death or the inflammation extends to the brain." Not even the opposition questions the fact that President Ifariison has risen several notches in the estimation of the American people through the speeches he made during his recent tour. But even his friends must ad mit that the cartoons and articles which appear in the papers in which the son of the president is interested, wherein fiantic efforts arc made to dis suade the public mind of the belief that the president, and not Blaine is re sponsible for the recipsocity policy and the letters to the Italian government, arc ill-timed, discourteous and false. The world has seldom failed to distin guish the work of one man from that of another, and the world will not fail to do so in this instance. Blaine has always been the idol of the republican party and Harrison cannot supplant him, even though his son had a cen sorship on the whole republican pres-.. In the Botkiu impeachment trial, one witness testified that the judgedrank merely as a courtcs- to his friends. That the judge realized the importance of courtesy, is shown by the fact that he usually consumed a pint at a time This careful observance of the prae ticcs which tend to smooth intercourse will commend itself to those who ap preciate a character, given to consid cring the rights and priwliges of oth ers. If the judge drank, merely as a courtesy to his friends, it is the moie praiseworthy tint he drank heartily. This wholconuled txi.ibilh'ii of oour tcsy, must htje nmu-d feeiing of .id miration .ind cyticm i-. the breads or his frici'd The con-uciptioii of a pint of '.Thb-key, merely as an act of courtesy, carries with it the guarantee of sincerity. Had the judge merely sipped the beverage in a hesitating or halting manner, the evidence of the witness would have been without weight, as the elements of courtesy would have been wanting. But when a pint is consumed as a sacrifice at the alter of this pleasing characteristic, the conclusion is irresistablc that the judge intended-being courteous to his friends, even though a whole distill ery is consumed to establish the fact. Are t!'p A:i:ei:raii o-ric, and es pecially th-j farmer-, i.nle.1 as being dicoutcr.ted, as agitator. or as being dissatisGed with any reasonable thing? ITiilory 'ua3 recorded err population as Vir sober aim industrwu-. It must Lave leen so, e!?e how could we have nude euch woi.dcifl advrcas in wealth atd dcvilopenient. Turlulent dK-atlsGid and ducontc&ti.u people do not advance in material prosperity as do the more tobcr and industrious, for the reason that dissatisfaction engend ers idleness. Whatever we may have been in the past, the conditions that produced con tentment then, have been changed, or rather, the complicated results arising from taking advantage of these condi tions, has made a large portion of our population discontented. If naturally, we arc a sober and in dustrious people, it is self-evident that there must be causes of moment to make us dissatisfied. No one qucs lions that this discontent is here, but the dividing lino is regarding its caus es or whether or not there be a cause. The republican party asserts that the discontent is without reason that con ditions cannot be made more favorable for prosperity. It has shaped the pol icies now iu practice and it believes they should remain iu force. It had absolute poncr in the last congress to shape national legislation, and it took full advantage of its opportunity. It raised the tariff and refused to give us lrce coinage. Hence it must believe that there is no cause for dissatisfact ion. The democratic party thinks there is caue, or rather, a portion or it thinks so, but all possibility of it re moving the cause has laded into the remote distance, because it is divided against itself. The people's party alone, offers an adequate remedy for the existing troubles, and its members are united and harmonious. Was Abraham Lincoln a true or false prophet when he said: "I see in the near future a crisis arising which unnerves me, and causes me to trem ble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned, and an era of corrupt ion in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will at tempt to prolong its reign by attempt ing to work on the prejudices of the L-people until all the wealth is aggregat ed in a few hands and the republic is destroyed. I feel at this time, more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever brforc, even iu the midst of war. God grant that my fears may prove groundless." It was the power of Wall street which President Lin coln feared. But how much more pow erful arc the money manipulators of New York to-day than they were in the great war president's time! Lincoln beheld a Stewart taking advantage of the war and making millions out of it. He saw other lesser ones turning the nation's misfortunes and peril to their private gain, taking advantage of the nation's need and purchasing govern ment bonds at almost their own fig ures. If Lincoln could speak today, would he not be able to pronounce with the assurance of a prophet whose pre dictions in a measure have come true, and with almost a certainty that the remainder of the prophecy will be ful filled. American Farm News. President Polk, of the National Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Un ion, in a masterly address before the Ohio state convention of his organiza tion at Columbus, two weeks ago, pre sented some facts which arc worth re peating here. Never before, said he, have the cities and great corporations prospered as today; never before have there been such opportunities for grasping colossal fortunes; never before has agriculture been in such a languish ing condition. In 1S30 the farmers owned 70 per cent of the wealth of the country; in 1SC0 they owned 50 per cent; in 1SS0 they owned 33 per cent, and today they own less than 22 per cent. Little over a quarter of a cen tury ago, there were only two or three millionaires in this country, but now they are counted by the thousand. One half of the trealth of the coun try, said 31r. Polk, is owned by 31,000 people, and the census statistics show that there is a mortgage for every sev en persons in the United States near ly one for every family in the country, on an average. To the advice from some of the prosperous classes, that the farmer should "work harder and live closer" the Alliance president said the very men who gave this advice, would, iu three short months pay more out on his family at some fashionable water ing place, than the average farmer ex pends on his family in thiiteen jears To the aigu.nent tli.it the Ian of sup plv and de'iian 1 is tesponsible fur ti.e deprt vol prici-s of f.iru. product, it is sufficient t' an-iTcr that less per car ita : nrolueJ linn when prices .ere much better. Tue cry of over pro duction was equally hollow. Add two and one fourth pounds of wheat to what each person consumes, and not a bushel will be exported. And then there are in this country 3,000,000 of tramps and 5,000,000 who are eith er starring or m want of "proper nu trition" as the statistical authorities mildly put it. "Overproduction" when one-cigth of the people of the country crave for more they arc able to procure, while those who are even better to do, every day of their Uvea deprive themselves and tutir families .f that Vihicli n.ntM minister to tl:i:r coniT rt and go id cm! 1 tbey but affoid it? Such rcasi'iing uas hollow urcek cry. WI at we need ;- ':at less pro- durtioi. hut a mure cqaitabie distribu tion of what we pro-luce. It 5 utt 3 by the d. a: ir:ard:.t:.sv f the public g-d, tint the nation is int to be trusted in Uianagcip the tele graphs and railroads of the cosi.try. that "private enterprise" will afford service far superior to that whioii man agement for the people, and by the people would give to the people. It is well known that the telegraph and railroad kings are living lives of stir abnegation that their own interests arc invariably sidetracked for the pub lic welfare. It wouid indeed be sad dening to them, to see the people rush headlong to their destruction, by wan ageing their own affairs. But a glance at history and thing as they are at present, ought to set the minds of these dear, self-appointed conservators of the public weal at ctse. Did they ever consider th.it whatever the Unit ed States 1 as undertake-! ii been a more marked suaicss than '-private enterprise' has ever made it, or ever could make? I).-es any enc suppose for a moment, that with our postti aff airs in the hands of money getting in dividuals, the service would by this time, have reached the pieent stage of dev elopement? Do you, dear read er, believe that the letter which you can send to any pait ol the United States or Canada fur two cent.-, could ever be font oat oi v-'ttr own St. to for that sum if 'individual ttilerpr " had been depended on to :ii.i:i,i-o this itiiportand branch oT public service. And what would it have cost jott to send a letter from New England to California? Besides, who would be willing to trust to private enterprise the matter which he now sends confi dently and safely through the mails? Since 1SS3 letter postage has been re duced two thirds. Then it e"st three cents to send a Jotter weighing one half ounce; now it costs you two cents to send one ounce. But why draw comparisons hi'twcci government postti service and govern ment railroad service? The feasibili ty of government ownership of rail roads has already been established. In Hungary the government is making money bv carrying passengers and freight at less than a fifth of the cost under private enterprise arrangement. A like experiment is to be found in an Australian colony. The expense of paralell lines is cut off and the lives of the travelling public carefully protect ed. Farm News. IESTKUCTION OF OUIt FOR ESTS. Each recurring spring and summer brings accounts of the burning of im mense tracts of forests in the northern states. This year is no exception to the rule, and reports come of large dis tricts being devastated by fires. This tremendous waste of one of the most valuable of our products, is usu ally followed by discussions of scient ists, regarding the effect on climate, the possibility of the timber supply be coming exhausted, and by newspaper articles deploring this terrible destruct ion. Then the matter is dropped un til the next spring, when it is brought to mind by a repetition of the disas ter. No practical and united effort is made to prevent the fires, until they have gone beyond the power of control. Millions, uay billions of feet of timber arc annually consumed, leaving bleak and barren wastes whcie once vegeta tion thrived in its grandest form. In a recent interview, a northwest ern senator, owner of many thousands of acres of timber land, pooh-poohed the idea of our forest being extermin ated for years, and stated that enough timber was standing on his estate to build fences around the world a dozen times. Possibly there is no danger of the supply becoming exhausted, but wc owe it to future generations to pre serve the surplus for their use. Ma ture has given us with a lavish hand, all the products of land and water that can contribute to our desires, but that is no reason why we should wantonly waste them. Indeed, it is our duty to carefully preserve whatever portion is not neccssary-to our comfort and wel fare, and it is a solemn obligation wc cannot conscientiously escape, to take measures looking to the prevention of iuithcr destruction of our forests.
