RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
The growth of rural free delivery of
mail as shown by the report of the as
sistant postmaster general is a remark
able revelation. Although in use but a
very few years rural free delivery has
been established in forty states and one
territory. So far it has been undergo
ing an experimental stage, each suc
ceeding congress appropriating a little
more money for its use, but it has now
become so well established and its ben
efits so fully demonstrated that there
is no longer any question as to its
practicability, It is here to stay.
During the last year and a half, ac
cording to the report, rural free deliv
ery has been extended to ISO,000 persons
at an expense of $150,000, or a per cap
ita expense of S4 cents. As compared to
an average expense of for each
person served in small towns of 5.000
inhabitants or less, and in view of the
far greater accommodation free deliv
ery affords to a rural community, the
comparison is an unanswerable argu
ment in its favor.
One of the most commendable fea
tures about rural free delivery is the
very evident fact that the people want
it. In nearly every instance it-has been
the concerted action of the farmers
themselves that has secured a free de
livery route for their community and
that they enjoy its benefits and prize
its privileges is clearly shown by the
marked increase of mail business ac
companying the establishment of each
rural delivery route. We have been
wont to consider the town resident
slightly more cosmopolitan, a reader of
more papers and magazines, a better
patron of Uncle Sam's posloflice de
partment than the country resident,
•but the rural delivery routes had not
been established six weeks in Marshall
county before it was seen that the
country residents were receiving and
sending more pounds of mail per per
son than their city-bred cousins who
had always been accustomed to the
convenience of daily mail delivery.
The benefits of free delivery of mail
matter to rural districts are many. Trie
system serves in part to destroy the
..monotony of farm life, the curse to our
rural people. They are brought into
closer touch with one another and the
•world in general. Its educative influ
ence is unlimited. Economically it is a
great saving to the farmer in time and
by keeping him better posted as to the
markets he gets a better price
for
a better educated, more intelligent, cul
tured and reflned race than was ever
known on earth before?
BUSINESS AT LEADING POINTS.
There has been" no break worthy of
note in the general volume of business.
At leading points, according to Dun's
review, there is a wholesome tone in
trade. In Chicago retail trade suffers
from unfavorable weather, but sales
keep up well. Mall orders are fair and
shipments on previous orders continue
liberal, and in underwear and dress
business is excellent. Wholesale houses
in most lines are quite busy, with grati
fying improvements in notions and
more confident buying at advanced
prices in boots and shoes. Large sales
are reported for early delivery in ladies'
suits, cloaks, waterproof garments, cor
sets and furs, and accounts are good
from clothing, hats and caps, and men's
furnishing houses.
In Philadelphia money is lirm at 5Vi to
6 per cent. Scarcity of cars retards
deliveries of anthracite and bituminous
coal, for which the demand is good.
Trade continues steady in iron, steel
and hardware, and wool is strong and
active, with advances in many grades.
Manufacturers are buying more freely,
and the entire textile trade shows a
decided improvement over last year.
At Boston merchandise markets are
strong and active, with retail trade im
proving, and large sales of seasonable
goods.
At Baltimore general trade continues
good, though the demand lor some com
modities falls off slightly. Retail trade
is good owing to fair weather.
his
products. It induces him to build bet
ter roads as the government requires a
certain standard of road perfection be
fore free delivery will be attempted. It
has many other advantages more or
less indirect. It has been noticed in
many instances that where the rural
delivery has been established the co
operative country telephone has been
quick to follow, and it does not require
any great amount of Imagination to
look forward a few years and see the
electric railway radiating from every
town into the farming districts, bring
ing those isolated communities as near
to town life as are the present-day
suburban districts surrounding our
great cities.
The rural free delivery is here. It
will remain. Within a very few years
It will be found throughout every
township of every county in such a
state as Iowa, and when it has spread
Its many blessings over this land we
may look for a vast improvement in
our farming classes. The monotony of
the farm largely dispelled, brains and
energy will be more inclined to remain,
which will result in a better, more sci
entific agriculture, a more intelligent
and prosperous class of people, a
denser rural population and conse
quently more and better patrons at our
trade centers, buyers of more and bet
ter commodities. When the rural de
livery has brought the telephone and
both have been followed by the electric
railway, which in turn furnishes light
and power, who knows but what the
farm will become the ideal residence
placc? Who knows but what the tide
of population may in time be turned
back to the farm and upon this land
will grow up a people stronger and
richer, enjoying a purer and freer
life, a vastly more healthful existence
and by means of Its human institutions
At Detroit the demand for loans is
quite strong, with rates lirm, and col
lections good. General jobbing and
maufacturing business shows satisfac
tory increase, with prices firm for all
leading staples. Lake- traffic is very
large in volume, with rates higher than
a year ago.
At Minneapolis money is easier and
in fair demand, with rates lower. Flour
is dull, scarcity of cars and high freight
rates preventing exports, though do
mestic trade is fair. Retail activity
continues in seasonable merchandise
and general collections are good.
In St. Paul trade has been excellent
and collections very satisfactory.
At St. Louis retail trade has shown
marked improvement especially in
clothing, shoes, hats, dry goods and
millinery, in the order named. In job
bing lines the increase is about the
same as last week, with shipping capa
city taxed in several lines, and night
work required to keep pace with orders.
One of the financial features of the
week is large real estate lendings at 3',-a
per cent.
At Kan Francisco there is much ac
tivity in all departments of trade, with
imports large and distributed. The
price of quicksilver has advanced to $50,
with unusually light stocks. Money is
in. good supply at unchanged rates, and
collections are comparatively easy.
At New Orleans business continues to
improve and .collodions are good. The
cotton market is inactive and weak.
Sugar is coming in ami bringing good
prices, and there is also a good demand
for molasses. Exports of grain con
tinue good.. Money is
The Richmond Times, a gold derno
ratic journal, believes in expansion for
several business reasons:
"This Philippine question is a'ques
tion of business, and the American peo
ple are essentially a business people.
We have a distinct duty to perform in
restoring peace and order and estab
lishing good government in the Philip
pines, and after that shall have been
done this government is going to util
ize the position which it holds in the
Philippines to the best advantage of
the cotton producers of the south and
the manufacturers and exporters in
all parts of the United States. We are
confronted with a practical condition
and it must be dealt with in a practical
way. The theorists must stand asid
and let men of affairs take hold."
This is substantially the opinion of
the Atlanta Constitution, otherwise a
democrat of the straightest sect. It re
fuses to consider the Philippines from
a political point of view. "Let politi
cians scramble," it says "let doctri
naires debate, but the man with the
bale of cotton wants to sell it and sell
it quickly. We are entitled
to our share in the world's trade by the
quickest, shortest and most direct
route. This claim has the right-of-way,
and the man in the cotton field will he
the beneficiary."
Even in darkest democratic Missis
sippi, Senator Sullivan, otherwise a
rigid Bryanite, is an expansionist. And
from a Mississippi newspaper, the
Hernando Times-Promoter, comes this
warning to Bryan and the other demo
cratic expansionists:
"If democracy incorporates an anti
expansion plank in its platform, right
here in Mississippi hundreds of demo
crats will vote for McKinley. Men who
have uniformly voted for the nominee,
who risked their lives and spent their
money that democracy might triumph
over republicanism, and who fought
for Southern rights from Manassas to
Appomattox, have stated to me that
rather than to Indorse the fight that is
being made upon McKinley and his
policy of expansion, they will vote for
the republican nominee. If many Mis
sissippi democrats pursue this course,
what a rush there will be to republic
anism In those states where it Is not
considered treason to bolt the nominee
even if he Is a yaller dog!"
It is evident that business consider
ings shade the views and Influence the
opinions of many Southern men and
that they will not tolerate the "im
perialistic" notions of Bryan et al.
THE U. P. AND NORTHWESTERN.
As reported by the Omaha Bee, rail
road men are speculating over future
traffic arrangements of the Union Pa
cific, the ten years agreement with the
Chicago & Northwestern expiring soon.
The Bee says:
"In railroad circles yesterday there
was much interested speculation rela
tive to an important epoch which has
been reached by the Union Pacific and
Northwestern railroads. Ten years ago,
Nov. 4. 1SS9, an agreement was entered
into betwen these two great systems
which provided for a close interchange
of business. The Union Pacific had, at
that time as now, the strong line oper
ating between the Missouri river and
the Pacific coast, while the Northwest
ern was one of the most influential lines
east of the Missouri river. During the
ten years that this agreement has been
in effect it has been closely adhered to
by the two systems and the business of
each, both in passenger and freight de
partments. has been greatly enlarged.
Yesterday the time limit of this agree
ment expired and railroad men are dis
cussing the probable outcome of the
matter. Whether or not the agreement
will be again entered into is questiona
ble, and In this feature of the matter
interest is centered. A few months ago
the opinion was quite generally ex
pressed that when the Illinois Central
should reach Omaha the existing rela
tions between the Northwestern and
Union Pacific would be severed as soon
as the contract entered Into between
the two railroads ten years ago would
permit. This opinion was based

THE SOUTH AND EXPANSION.
There is a growing sentiment in the
south in favor of expansion, which the]
New York Sun notices with approval,
while Col. Bryan hah been "shooting
and spouting through Nebraska and
oaperingr frantically around the dec
laration of independence." This grow
ing opinion in the south is based on
common sense business ideas. The-,
views expressed by Senator .Morgan,
and more recently by Senator JIi.-Lau
rin, as to the necessity of the China
trade to the cotton interests of the
south, are commending themselves to
cool heads in that section. Eyen the
hot-headed Tillman is moving toward
annexation.

fact that E. H. Harriman owns a large
block of the stock of both the Union
Pacific and Illinois Central, and is an
important factor in the control of both
•roads. On the other hand, he has prac
tically no interest in the Northwestern,
while the Vanderbilts, who control the
balance of power in the Northwestern,
have but little influence with the Union
Pacific.
"Well informed railroad men hold the
opinion that the Union Pacific will be
wary of renewing an iron-clad agree
ment with the Northwestern. They ex
press the belief that perhaps a tempor
ary agreement may be drawn up be
tween the two systems, but that it will
be of such a character that the Union
Pacific will be in no wise bound to turn
over to the Northwestern all its east
bound freight and passenger traffic.
The general belief is. however, that if
any agreement is entered into by the
Union Pacific it will be with the Illinois
Central, and pending its arrival into
Omaha the I"nion Pacific will be impar
tial in the distribution of its east-bound
business. Others assert that the Union
Pacific will in the future direct its bus
iness from Omaha over all the eastern
lines, giving each a sort of a pro rata
share in accordance with the amount
which it shall receive in return.
"In opposition to all these opinions is
the statement that the Northwestern
and Union Pacific were never'on more
friendly terms than at present and
these two systems form an important
link in the proposed transcontinental
line which has aroused so much .interest
in the business and financial world dur
ing the last few weeks. Again, the fact
is cited that within a very recent time
the Northwestern and Union Pacific
practically solicited their trans
continental passenger business by in
augurating the new train service be
tween Chicago and the Pacific coast
and operating trains which run through
from Chicago over the Northwestern.

"Collating ail these facts the railroad
world lias a more interesting nut to
crack than it has had for some time.
Officials who are in a position to know
something definite regarding this mat
ter refuse to talk on the subject and
consequently every railroad man holds
that his opinion is as good as any one's

us rich men can be Christians, Presi
dent Gates would give us the advan
tage of a big needle with a big eye. Of
President Gates' ability It goes without
saying that he is the peer of anything
in the weBt. An old neighbor of the
president thus expresses it: "He's all
right if he'd let that darn foolishness
of Herron's alone."
Mrs. Rand, whose motives none have
ever questioned, and whose latest' ac
tion proves that she is a real friend to
Iowa College, adds much to her reputa
tion as such by leaving this endowment
Intact, only providing that Applied
Christianity must be taught and the
interest of the fund devoted to that
purpose.
Professor Herron himself comes off
with flying colors. His letter of resig
nation is manly, and he does not take
back a thing. Not every one has read
his letter in full. There is so much In
It that can have general application
to all cases of this kind that the writer
will pick out a few of the strongest
statements. To the trustees he says:
"None the less, your position is trus
tees is made more serious and difficult
each year by the recurring demands
for the removal of the chair of Applied
Christianity and its occupant. These
demands come not only from the press
and from public men who feel Indig
nant at my teachings concerning prop
erty, but from old and sincere friends
of the college, who feel that its well
being Is being jeopardized because of
the lack of support from men of finan
cial means and of Influence among the
churches. The self-sacrifice and devo
tion of these old friends of the college
demand full and sympathetic consider
ation. Whether they be mistaken or
not, It seems to be the now generally
accepted opinions of your* constituen
cy that men who have money will.not
give to the college while I remain in
its faculty that the churches will not
support the college because of my In
terpretation of the teachings of Jesus."
That is much better stated than
when in this column sometime ago the
same ideas .were brought out.
And here is an extract that shows
Professor Herron Is above petty spite
and revenge. No one doubts that his
Influence could have been used detri
mental to Iowa College:

Ackley. Nov. 7.—All's well that ends
well. Professor Herron has resigned
and it must be confessed the whole af
fair has been as well managed as some
of us outsiders could have done.
First the action of the trustees was
admirable in patiently waiting for the
voluntary resignation of I3rofessor
Herron, which was inevitable, and thus
escaping the odium which would attach
Itself if a member of the college faculty
was removed for uttering his radical
sentiments. Free speech is still alive at
Urlnneii.
Secondly, President Gates keeps his
word intact. The matter has been ar
ranged "satisfactorily," as he promised
the trustees last June, this conditioned
upon no official action at that time,
And the writer voices the sentiment of
many (not all) who are glad that this
"satisfactory arrangement" retains
President Gates as the head of Iowa
College. While it is generally under
stood that President Gates has "fa
thered" Applied Christianity as taught
by Professor Herron, the writer feels
safe in asserting that there i» no public
utterance of the president on record to
prove it. Itather can it be Btated that
President Gates stands for Applied
Christianity itself believes that a col
lege needs a chair where such ethics
are taught, and while Professor Her
ton could not understand bow any of
the endowment the
department of Applied Christianity
can remain in the college only by my
voluntary retirement from the chair or
by my removal by the three special
trustees of the endowment. To this vol
untary retirement Mrs. E. D. Rand has
finally consented. I am entirely un
willing to take this endowment of $35,
000 from the college, and am happy to
be able tu leave it, through Mrs. Rand's
generosity. Upon my retirement the
endowment will be so changed as to be
turned over to the college, without any
conditions attached thereto. I would
only ask that the faculty and trustees,
in selecting my successor, give the gra
cious consideration due to Mrs. Rand's
wishes in such a selection. I trust that,
under more conservative teaching, the
department may have a noble and
abiding history in the minds and ideals
of the generations of the students who
shall come and go. And I pray that
my nearly seven years' relation to
Iowa College may count for something
in the services and memories of the
college."
And In closing he makes some gen
eral statements that his ardent friends
who proposed to keep him in the fac
ulty regardless of results would do well
to commit to memory:
"Out of justice to you as trustees, I
feel that 1 ought to say to you that I
am not sure but that those who refuse
to support my presence and freedom to
teach in the college may have a right
to refuse such support. Anyhow, with
out regard to the right of either of us,
controversy is not a good inlluence to
be about a college or university. And,
aside from controversy, I question
whether an existing college or univer
sity is any place for the sort of work I
am trying to do. I do not know that a
present-day educational Institution can
rightly make place for the mere apostle
of an ideal, whether he be right or
wrong. Institutional education has
chiefly to do with what has been said
and done rather than with whatsis to
be said and done In the future. Any
proposed change of institutions, any
ideal of a new mode of society or life
or industry, has always been a subject
of conflict and dispute. The truth is al
ways rudely and Imperfectly stated by
its earlier apostles. The imperfection
and conflict have been as unavoidable
as the truth. But educational institu
tions, as now organized and supported,
dependent as they are on gifts of
money from the existing social order,
afford no place for the teaching of dis
turbing social ideals, though it can not
be that human truths that are new will
always be outcast and vagabond upon
the earth, even when rudely spoken,
until accepted and made a part of the
past. As college education la now or
ganized, however, I question any man's
right to teach that which the college
constituency does not want. He may as
as Individual teach the people who
are to hear him, but not as a member
of an educational institution which he
does not represent."
The last two sentences cover the
whole issue so "satisfactorily" ar
ranged and brought to a close.
