Why, hair the gossip under the sun, If yon trace it back, yon will find begun In that wretched house of "They." A numerous family, so I am told, And its genealogical tree is old For ever since Adam and Eve began To build up the curious race of man Has existed the House of "They." Gossip mongers and spreaders of lies, Horrid people, whom all despise And yet the best ot us, now and then. Repeat queer tales about women and men And quote the Hoase of "They." They live like lords and never labor. A "They's" one task is to watch his neighbor And tell his business and private affairs. To the world at large, they are sowers of tares— These folks in the House of "They." It is wholly useless to follow a "They" With a whip or a gun, for he slips away And into his house, where you cannot go, It is locked and bolted and guarded so— iThis horrible House of "They." Though you cannot get in, they get out, And spread their villainous tales about. Of all the rascals under the sun Who have come to punishment, never one Belonged to the House of "They." —Youth's Companion.

Y. Mrs. Page, in robust health, living in sumptuously wholesome surroundings, exposed to none of the conditions believed conducive to the present epidemic, was stricken and died, with no better chance than a street gamin's. There may be other cases no less striking. The prominence of this victim explains the publicity. Safety is only comparative, at best. The freaks of this year's epidemic will be related in medical history long after infantile paralysis has been subdued to a place among conquerable diseases. RIGHT, IN THE MAIN. tho mmnai«Tl It must 1h? conceded that the prohibitionists have nominated a level-headed man, a candidate of bigger mental caliber than certain other as pirants at their Minneapolis convention. Their nominee. Former Goveror Hanly of Indiana, stands for a protective tariff to equalize the difference in wages here and abroad, for a ra tional Mexican policy, and for the retention of the Philippines and the honorable discharge of our duty to those islanders and to the world. But there is one plank in his platform, put there by the convention over the heads of its commit tee on resolutions, which he cannot defend in the(campaign, wmtii W 1M*- DEMOCRAT—Established i«* ''^Consolidated liarcb 26, 1888.

This nominee's delusion is that a handfull of men in some of the counties of some of the states can accomplish more for man kind by throwing away their votes than by giving their support to one of the two great parties willing to do the most- to limit the evils of intemperance. Aside from this phantasy, however, and their willingness to go through life as civic ciphers of no political value to their community or to their country in a crisis, the prohibitionists as a body are very worthy peo ple and it is pleasant to note that their national candidate is, except for his whimsy, practical-^ ly indistinguishable from a high-class republi can or progressive democrat. UNDER FORTY-NINE MASTERS.' Francis H. Sisson, writing in Moody's magar zine of the embarrassment occasioned the rail roads through the conflict and divergence in state railroad policies, says: 1 gheriff,9 office is One federal commission and forty-eight state commissions exercise sweeping authority over our railroads. Congress and forty-eight state legis-^v latures, from time to time, increase, respective-^ lv, the powers of the federal and state commls-v* sions. As the latter act independently and en tirely without cooperation, confusion and uncer tainty follow. Accordingly, our general railroad wv. policy lacks, uniformity, proportion, detiniteness and efficiency. The closer it Is examined, the^. more one is convinced of the truth of the oldr^ adage, "Too many cooks spoil the broth." The most important question before the joint committee of the two houses of congress appointed under the Newlands resolution is that of single control of the railroads. The resolu tion directing the committee to investigate the subject of government control and regulation I of interstate and foreign transportation is I broad enough to cover almost any inquiry af fecting the joint interests- of the carriers and the public, and it is expected that one of the first matters considered will be the basis of t-he growing demand for legislation to free the rail roads from the conflicting jurisdiction of the states by placing them under federal control. The duplication of authority which, the roads must recognize and the conflict of author ity under the present system have had evil consequences, and the opinion of conservative students of railroad problems that the most serious grievance of the transportation indus try is in the double system of control justifies the belief that many difficulties now confront ing the carriers would disappear with provision for federal incorporation. fp Nineteen states have legally asserted their right to control bond and stock issues of rail roads operating within their limits. This is an exceedingly grave assumption of state power over railroads, fer it possesses possibilities of danger to railroad credit. In the case of a rail road traversing several states, the consent of each being necessary to a proposed issue of se- curities, many things may happen. One state may withhold its consent until the delay so occasioned defeats the project. All states may "SToi'oS approve it but one, and that one slay the project ju3t hv it«s r*fn*al apparent All states but one may consent, and that one insist that some of the proceeds be spent within its own borders, although, perhaps, not needed there and actually needed in some other state. Hence, this newly developing feature of state regulation promises to place the financial standing and credit of a railroad at the mercy of the state, which may be influenced or actu ated by either political selfishness or illiberal ity. While this may seem incredible, it is an outgrowth of state railroad regulation, and an illustration of the extremes to which it has been carried. It would seem that only congress should regu late so momentous an issue, through its deputy, the interstate commerce commission. For tunately there appears to be no doubt as to the power of congress to legislate in this direction. In deciding the Minnesota cases, the supreme court of the United States said: "The author ity of congress extends to every part of interstate commerce and to every instru mentality or agency by which it is carried on and the full control by congress of the subjects committed to its regulation is not to be denied or thwarted by the commingling of interstate and intrastate operations." The way has been cleared for placing interstate trans portation under one national authority, but the evils resultig from conflicting regulation^ will continue until congress acts.

Marshalltown Times-Republican The persons who complain of chilly morning are the same ones who "hol lered" over the heat the week before. Now that the crops are assured there's nothing but hot and cold weather left to worry over—except the governorship. Hampton Chronicle: Besides our general staff in the army and the corresponding general board in the navy, why not establish a permanent non-partisan, non-military council .of peace? We spent over $300,000,000 a year on "preparedness for war," of course without getting it, though coming once or twice dangerously near it. Let us in addition spend 1 per cent, of this amount on pre paredness for peace: It is an ex periment worth trying. Ottumwa Courier: Every time the administration discovers some busi ness that is showing signs of pros perity, it sticks an extra tax on it to help make up the deficit in the treas ury which its extravagance has caused A Waterloo Courier: Rumors that the old guard republicans are not satis fied with some of the statements Candidate Hughes is making, especial ly with reference to his proposed plan of filling offices with competent men only, in the event of his election to the presidency, ,is one of the surest indications that he will attract many of the voters of progressive tenden cies who have been, or may yet be, on the fence. Sioux City Journal: Those who have been complaining of a lack of "pep" in the presidential campaign are reminded that T. R. is to make a speechmaking tour through the west pretty soon. Burlington Hawk-Eye: The demo cratic complaint that Mr. Hughes does not meet all the issues has been sidetracked. And the switch spiked. Cedar Rapids Republican: We read of the name of Verdun being be stowed upon some helpless children. The name is somewhat gory and more or less inappropriate for American children. But fond fathers and moth ers also are a bit foolish.

In order to encompass the defeat of the secretary his opponents have induced several other men, each bear ing the name of Stevenson, to file nomination papers for office. If the names are bona fide there appears to be no legal method for keeping them off the ballot, although it is known that the Intention is fraudulent and the plan corrupt. Advocates ot the primary law over looked the very Important fact that the natures of shyster politicians are not corrected by enactments and that the convention, where they are forced to fight in the open, offers the better opportunity for their defeat.

Well, the coming on of new principles is evidence that the American people believe in variety, as weil as progress. One good feature of these new parties, is that they compel the old parties to perform good deeds. The campaign of 1896 brought out a large list of party tickets, and a voter could easily be suited in his political fancies. I made a collection of tickets of that year, including Kentucky, Ohio, Illinois, Kansas and other states, and they are quite a study. Some bal lots have six or eight party lists of candidates. The division of demo crats who refused to follow Bryan and free silver had their own ticket, called the gold democratic party. Class dis tinction was brought out to the firing line, and 'party spirit ruled high. Carl Schurz telegraphed the Chicago Times-Herald the night of the elec tion, that the republic could not stand another ordeal like that one. Do you know Crysop's nlger? If not, you are missing one of the fine little enjoyments of the studies of Insect life. Well, Crysops is a pretty fly, a size or two smaller than our favor ite house fly, and is rather scarce. Only the student will recognize Cry sop's nifcer, which ife dark, with eyes of pink. Its style of flying is graceful, and it sails around the point of selec tion several times before alighting. I would say that Crysop's is of a busi ness habit and proceeds at once to draw blood. It avoids all preliminar ies. If a lover of animate .creation, you will adopt Crysop's as one of your household fancies. Strange that I have failed to see one of these little humming bird flies this summer, .and I have missed them.

I suspect that within lave years, the common rural roadways will be so improved and made good, that auto mobiles will be enabled to go over the chief lines of travel at any time of the year. Long journeys will be made, and people of remote districts will en joy conveniences along with city peo ple. This growth of automobile travel is one of the progressive achievements QjC our times, and it is a wonder. No tice,' please, that there Is a governing providence and a time for the coming at these blessings to the human race. Human skill is only the working out of accomplishments. Prior in all events is the Divine intelligence and com mand. It is not wise to look backward and regret delays. All things useful come in their ordered proper time. The vines of the wild cucumbers are in blocm, and these clusters of foliage and bloom are chosen homes for many Insects, for the vines offer safety to these classes of the insect universe. The larvae of some lady birds may be noticed searching for eggs and tender larvae of other in sects. These immature lady birds are regular pirates, and their bite reminds one of the presence of the Galliniper and Crysop's nlger. On the same vines you may see good representa tives of the perfect winged insect. There are said to be sixty kinds of these pretty and useful -creatures known as ladybngs, or birds. Reading again of Mormon flies, re calls how 'some people protest their presence. The Mormons were strict lmmersionists, and as the flies pass most of their time in the water, their name is appropriate. But remember all the dragon flies and other flies are associated with large periods in water. Perhaps we might call them Baptist flies or Campbellite flies. Methodist would not do, for Methodists believe in fire. AUG. CARTHAGE, ni., Aug. 17.—The thur, Forrest 1. Dice, Martha Find Hancock County Teachers' Institute lay, Edna Russell, Abbie R.
