W.M.HI6BBE.
HUBERT CARR. Committee.
Bryan and White
As Hon. Lafe Young puts It, Hawkove demo
crats have re-engaged the business o! politics.
—Telegraph.
Yes, the Democratic party
Is in politics again,
And, that they mean to raise a dust,
Is an Item very plain:
Our leader—William Bryan,
Is not unknown to fame,
And when it oomes to politics,
He understands the game.
lie Is down on war for conquest,
.And he's after every trust-
Monopoly, when he ""gets there,"
Will Just "get up and dust."
Imperialism is a foe
That firvaa likes to fight,
And on that very enemy 7
With every vote we'll light.
Hawkeye democrats are lively,
They are full of hope and work.
While our leaden. White and Bryan,
Were never known to shirk.
'lis very plain our politics,
In Iowa look bright,
55o we'll slog a song for Bryan
And another for Fred White.
We'll vote for White this fall,
We'll vote for Bryan next,
And "out each foe of liberty,"
Shall be our guiding text.
The republican party is a powerful
organization, but it is not Btron enough
to so change the constitution of the
United States as to convert this govern
ment into a military machine to wage
wars of conquest abroad and- silence
the conscience of the American peo
ple at home.
An Enemy of Trusts.
Mr. Bryan's second speech on truBts,
made at the Chicago Conference on
Saturday afternoon, in reply to Mr.
Cockran and to Mr. Foulke, displayed
even more fully than his set speech in
the morning hip unequalled capacity
lor popular leadership in the movement
against monopoly.
Mr. .Bryan's advantage lies in this
He believes that there are monopolies
that they are evils that they can be
remedied—and he has remedies to pro
pose.
For the people, who see the power of
trusts and feel their oppression, thiB is
what appeals to them, rather than a
weighing of compensations, hair-split
ting over difficulties and doubts whether
anything can be done.
Mr. Bryan says, If the people are in
earnest they can break up monopoly.
And the way to show that they are in
earnest, BB the World has frequently
said, is to elect lawmakers, law officers
and executives who are in earnest too.—
N. Y. World.
A Notable Misapprehension.
There exiBts in 'the minds of some
people a very erroneons idea relative to
to the qualities necessary for success in
the legal profession. They think it is
only desirable for a lawyer to be smart,
eloquent, ingenious and tricky. Noth
ing could be much farther from the
truth. The most successful lawyer 1b
the man who is moBt reliable in all that
he says and does. The leaders of the
bar every where are men whose distin
guishing quality is reliability. Courts
and juries want to know the truth, that
they may render decisions and verdicts
in accordance with their views of
justice and right. They desire correct
information, and the lawyer who can
be relied upon to furnish it, is the man
who has influence. The lawyer who
has never permitted his reputation for
frankness and fairness to be tarnished
by trickery or simulation is assured of
all the success which his diligence and
mental capacity will warrant.
The citizens of Rolfe, Iowa, woke up
to the fact that they were money-losers
because of the poor condition of their
streets and highways. They got to talk
ing, and from talking to working, and E.
subscription paper good for $650 was
obtained from the business men. This
was presented to the city council and
similar amount voted from the city
treasury. This was supplemented by
liberal donations of team work by the
farmers. Gravel pits bought and open
ed, and on four leading roads out of the
city, all winter, a force of men has been
hauling gravel. Rolfe will have good
roads hereafter and people from far and
near will go there to trade because of it
—L. A. W. Bulletin.
There will be a Good Roads Conven
tion in Des Moines on the Cth and 7th
of next month. Secretary Brewer an
nounces that speeches will also be made
by Hon. A. B. Stickney, president of
the Great Western Railway, by Hon,
1'. Dolllver and Captain Hull, congress
men, who have given much thought to
free rural mail delivery. It iB expectrd
that not less than 20,000 people will be
in attendance. W. H. Moore, the pres
ident of the National Good RoadB
Movement, will also be present and ad
dress the people. Every member of the
board of supervisors, every poBtmaBter,
every member of the legislature, every
editor, every congressman, are delegates

The Diving Record Broken.
On the afternoon of Tuesday, Septem
ber 12, Captain Louis Sorcho, deep sea
diver, broke the world's record by staying
under water for eight hours. The cap
tain's popular resort on the Midway o:
the Greater American Exposition at
Omaha was the scene of the successful
attempt to break the record and win a
gold medal offered by the Exposition
managers and a number of admiring
friendB and interested spectators were
in attendance. Captain Sorcho, who 1B
an experienced deep sea diver and
brought up 132 bodies from the wreck
of the battleship Maine in Havana har
bor, donned his diving suit at 2:16 p. m.
and descended to the bottom of a large
glass tank, remaining under water with
out food or drink until 10:20 in the
evening. During all this time he was
supplied with air from A pump above
just as though he was under the ocean,
and gave regular exhibitions of a diver's
work and experiences at the bottom of
the sea. He was in constant communi
cation with the outside world by means
of a submarine telephone, one of hiB
most valuable Inventions, and was close
..
)re
ly watched by hiB faithful wife, who
allzed more keenly than anyone else the
strain to which a diver is subjected and
the constant danger which he faces.
The captain was much fatigued tter
his long stay under water, but was none
the worse for having added thirty min
utes to the record.—World.
Governor Shaw withdrew from the
governor's convention because the ma
jority believe that the rights of natural
persons, God made persons, were being
circumscribed and trespassed upon by
man made persons, by corporations and
monopolies. The governor might have
jeopardized his standing in the corpora
tion party by taking part in the deliber
ations of a convention where the major
ity favored placing the commonwealth
above wealth, the rights of men above
the rights of corporations.

Manila, Sept 25., 4:30 p. m.—The in
surgents have captured the United
States gunboat Urdaneta In the Oranl
river, on the northwest side of Manila
bay, where she was patrolling. One
officer and nine of her crew are miss
ing.
The United States gunboat Petrel,

was beached opposite the town of
Oranl, on the Oranl river. She was
riddled with bullets and burned, and
the following guns, with their ammu

AmarJtaans Diiiperu Rebels and Destroy
Krupp Gun*
Washington, Sept 25.—Acting Sec
retary Allen, of the navy department,
received a cable from Rear. Admiral
Watson glvlbg a brief account of the
engagement at Subig bay. It is dated
the 24th at Manila and says:
Mandora discovered heavy gun
mounted opposite Kalaklan Point, Su
big bay exchanged shots with Char
leston. Sent Charleston, Monterey,
Concord and Zafiro with detachment
of marines and sailors from Baltimore
to capture and' destroy. Attacked in

apprentice second class, Charleston, se
riously wounded Charles Haffke, coal
passer, Concord, heat prostration. The
Insurgent fire was heavy, but poorly
aimed. Bnemy's loss unknown. Full
report mailed."
Th* Important feature of the engage
ment is the fact which is disclosed that
the insurgents have been able to ob
tain En guns. It was known at
the time of the outbreak of th* Insur
gents against the Americans that th*
artillery of the Insurgents consisted of
a few obsolete guns captured from the
Spaniards. Acting Secretary Allen
says that It Is evident the navy at
Manila does not intend to allow any
fort to be erected by the Insurgents
which can be reached by the ships, and
he is convinced that the squadron un
der Rear Admiral Watson will be able
to keep the shores guarded and repeat
the lesson of Saturday if the insur
gents are found to be operating on th*
coast

the insurgents on the Island of
NegroB
are about to recognize the authority
of the United States. An election in
Negros will be held on Oct 2. Th*

keen opposition among the Dreyfus

St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 22.—The con

called the conference to order there
was a very slim attendance of both
BENTON M'MILLtB.
delegates and visitors. He announced
that Governor McMlllln stated the
committee on resolutions would be
ready to report at 11 o'clock and asked
that the confercnce take a recess.
Resolutions Presented.
On reassembling Mr. McMlllln pre
sented the resolutions as adopted by
the committee 6n resolutions. They
are as follows:
'The committee on resolutions, to
jvhlch was referred several resolutions
and papers, in lieu of all of them, sub
mit the following, with the recommen
dation that it be adopted by this con
ference: That we believe the best
present available remedies lie along
the following lines:
"First The enactment and enforce
ment both by the several states and
the nation of legislation that shall
adequately and fully define as crimes
any attempted monopolization or re
straint of trade In any line of indus
trial activity, with provisions for ade
quate punishment, both of the Individ
ual, or the corporation, that shall be
found guilty thereof punishment to
the corporation to extent of Its disso
lution.
For Control of Corporations.
"Second. The enactment by eaicb'of
the states of the union of legislation
for the adequate and proper control
and regulation of corporations, char
tered by that state, and we recom
mend as efficacious a system of re
ports to, and examination by, state au
thority of the corporations organised
under Its laws, to the end that they
be brought to a fair observance of the
laws under which they are created.
"Third. The enactment by each state
of laws that will prevent the entrance
of any foreign created corporation-Into
Its limits for any other purpose than
Interstate commerce, except on terms*
that will put the foreign created cor
poration on a basis of equality with
the domestic created, corporation of
the state entered, and subject to the
same laws, rules and regulations of
Uie state that It enters* which are ap
plicable to' the domestic corporations
of that state, and to this end we rec
ommend legislation that would make
It mandatorey upon corporations seek
ing to engage in business outside the
state of their creation that they pro
cure licenses from the foreign state
as a condition precedent to their entry
into such state such license to be
granted on such terms and subject to
such restrictions aB will place the cor
poration subject to the same control.
Inspection, supervision and regulation
as the domestic corporation of that
state, and subject to be revocable If
the conditions thereof are violated.
Prohibited from Other States*
"Fourth. The enactment of state leg
islation, declaring-that a corporation
created in one state to do business ex
clusively In other states than where
created shall be prohibited from ad
mission into any state. .This propo
sition is supported by decisions of the
supreme courts of several states, but
we believe it should become legisla
tive enactment, uniform throughout
the states.
"Fifth. That no corporation should
be formed In whole or in pnrt by any
corporation.
"Sixth. That no corporation shall
own or hold any stock in another cor
poration engaged in similar or com
petitive business, and that no officer
or director of a corporation shall be the
officer or director or the owner of
stock In another corporation engaged
In a similar or competitive business,
the object or result of which is to
create a trust or monopoly.
Kach State Should Fuss Laws.
"Seventh. Itecognizing that trusts
are composed of corporations, and
that corporations are but creatures of
the law, and can only exist in the
place of their creation, and cannot mi
grate to another sovereignty without
the consent of that sovereignty, and
that this consent may be withheld
when desired, we recommend as the
sense of this conference that each state
pass laws, providing that no corpora
tion which 1B a member of any pool or
trust in that Btate or elsewhere, can
do business In that state.
"Resolved, That It is the sense of
this conference that all the capital
stock of private corporations should
be fully paid either first, In lawful
money or second, In property of the
actual cash value of the amount of the
capital stock and that in all private
corporations with a capital stock Is
sued In excess of the amount actually
paid up as above provided, the share
holders shall be liable to the extent of
twice the face value of the stock held
by each."
The resolutions were adopted and
the conference adjourned sine die.
WIIX BE HO RETREAT.
British Stand in Transvaal Situation to B*
Maintained.
London, Sept. 25.—No retreat, no
provocation, but more troopB to the
front. That is a brief summary of the
last cabinet meeting. The continuance
of negotiations with the Transvaal on
former lines Is not considered desira
ble, and a fresh start will be made as
soon us the milliners have leisure for
a deliberate review of the whole situa
tion. Meanwhile, the military forces
in South Africa will be Increased by
10,000 or 20,000 men the Transvaal
government will be courteously In
formed that the ministers require time
for reconsidering the subject of Eng
land's relations with the Dutch re
public, and the door will not be closed
against pacific diplomacy if President
Kruger wishes to make fresh over
tures. The ministers are determined
not to provoke a declaration of war,
especially when they arcu ot in readi
ness for "hostilities, but they will j,0t
modify the terms of the lasj com
munication sent out by Mr* fchamber
lain.

Balfour aud Lord Ttotbsdilld indi
cates that the spending departments
are short of money, and that parlia

unless temporary arrangements can bo
made with the great financiers for
bridging over the crisis. The drift of
affairs this week has been strongly in
the direction of war, although no one
in authority Is yet willing to adult
that the last word has been said In
favor of peace. Military experts com
plain that the ministers have been too
optimistic, and that Kruger now has
a chance of striking Natal before the
British garrison is prepared to defend
