Walt Whitman. “Straight as the Arrow to It* Mark.” —At the Boston meeting the nation al congress of the society of the Sons of the American Revolution discussed methods of still further promoting thoae clauses of the constitution of the society which aim at the fostering of true patriotism aod the extension of the Institutions of American free dom. The society is made up of mem bars tracing lineage back to revolution ary sires, and has branches In nearly all the states. The lowa society has about seventy members, with constant additions proving up. —These patriotic societies have only one object in view—that of upbuilding the best patriotic spirit In the land. Descendants of those who were In the struggle of the colonies have generally proven themselves sincere patriots, and attested the same from Lundy's Lane, 1812, to Chapultepec, in 1848, and In the war of the rebellion, and they stand to day In the younger descendants just the •ame as their venerable grand sires—for one country, one (lag, and for one great people. —The Salvation Army,in Its work all over the world last year,furnished meals to 2,482,982 poor people at from half a cent to eight cents a meal,and lodgings at from two to 12 cents a night to 1,087,- 6&8 people. This was substantial and effective benevolence. A meal sold for half a cent and a bed for two cents meant the difference between being fed and absolute hunger, and shelter and out-of-doors. This is a good work which everybody can understand, and it leads to higher good When those who con demn the Salvation Army present a bet ter record than that they will have the right to condemn. Until then.letthem shut up! —The Ottumwa Courier says that Wapello county republicans will stand for Drake and Harlan, —Grlnnell Herald: “The ladies of Hamilton county have endorsed Sena tor Kamrar for governor. They say that a man who uses neither tobacco nor Intoxicants, and who leads a blame less domestic life, should receive the support of all good women." r —Dee Moines Capital: “One cannot help thinking that the course of Great Britain, in the X lcaraguan difficulty, is that of the bully, and is, moreover, cowardly. No one suspects for a mo ment that the British government would act as it has done in this in stance were any of the great powers of the world the other party, She would then be willing to arbitrate everything. She would not in such a case as the first step name the amount she must receive at the peril of hostilities. But Nicar agua is a weak power, and may be bul lied, and it is done.’' —Burlington liawkeye: “We can’t blame the lowa democrats at all for wanting to tight this year's campaign on state, and not on national Issues. Great Osar: they would not have a square Inch of solid ground to stand on If they wanted to make the light on national premises, Let them choose their own fighting ground. No matter where they’ll seek to take a stand, they will be licked out of their boots." They will be barefoot democracy for a fact! 4^ Had Capt Sam Evans accepted the consulship at Nicaragua, and staid there, we would have had a lusty Amer ican on deck, and one who would have been at his post during all the present troubles. As It was there was no con sol, no minister, no war ship, not an American soul of official character on the ground. John Bull was there, how ever, and he generally is there, when English Interests are to be shoved along. —Well said, by the Dubuque Times: “When a man like Walter I. Hayes abuses the judges of the supreme court those judges can at once rightly con clude that they have done something entirely satisfactory to the respectable citizens of the state." —The order that took the American - flag down at Hawaii was the tint step away from sound Amerlcanlsm. From that act came a volume of dlssatlsfac tlon In hearty American heads and hearts that no mugwump blast could unsettle. It broke down Gresham, for the public measured him as the friend * of an alien power, disloyal and unpa triotic. —Burlington Hawkeye: “The coun- try that ruthlessly violated all the rules : of civilized warfare and made of the Emperor Napoleon a helpless prisoner in a hot climate that killed him a few years after, does not hesitate to bully weak nation* like Nicaragua, Venez uela and Honduras." —Says Grover to Gov. Stone, of Mis sissippi, “don’t monkey with the silver btnz-esw. It will be full of dagger to all democrats who hold office under my regime who toot free silver horns." —The Tennessee legislature, which is democratic, could not resist the oppor tunity to be the political thief, end so stole the governorship away from Col, Evans, republican, and gave It to old Fete Tarney. The legislature so voted in favor of the larceny by 13 majority, Some of the leading democratic papers of that state and the south opposed the steal, but the howl of the mob was greater than the sense of justice. After the theft had been legalized—at mid night, fit boor for such a deed—a greet drank followed and a jamboree that woke old Nashville up to join in the democratic jollification over successful rid larceny. It will now he In order the northern democratic press to join in and endorse the outrage. “Ev erything goes.” ■I MAHASKA COUNTY NEWS. New* end Note* from the Herald’* Corps of Correspondent*.

There are plenty of pile cures which give relief and sometimes cure a mild case of pile, but there is only one which can be depended upon with certainty to cure obstinate, longstanding cases and that Is the Pyramid Pile Cure. Endorsements and testimonials are received daily from men and women whose integrity and reliability are above question and in this connection a letter received from the Rev. Jas. U. Wesbrook, of Bowne, Mich., may be of interest to pile sufferers who have sought in vain for a cure. He says: “I have used the Pyramid Pile Cure and I know that it is all that is claimed for it. I have been troubled with piles more or less for about eighteen years and 1 had tried other remedies, but the piles grew worse until about ten months ago I used the Pyramid Pile Cure. It gave almost instant relief and I have been free flom piles ever since,—Rev. J. H, Wesbrdofci Mr. Frank Smith, the well known and popular druggist pf Yysilanti, Mich, in speaking of thfr Pyramid Pile Cure says: “A year ago T sold.C. C. Potter, 119 Hamilton St., Ypsilanti, Mich, a box of the Pyramid Pile Cure. He made the following statement to me to day: “I have been troubled for twenty years with Itching piles. Have tried nearly everything that promised relief, but got very little help until one year ago I called on my druggist,Frank Smith, and sot a box of the Pyramid Pile Cure. The one box used according to directions was, in my case, a perfect cure as a year spent without any symp toms of the trouble has convinced me.” Although a comparatively new rem edy, its popularity is such that all druggists now sel) it: if yonr druggist hasn’t it in stock, he will get it for you if you ask him at 50 cents and SI per package. A pamphlet describing the cause and cure of piles sent free by addressing the Pyramid Co., Albion, Mich. lowa Weather-Crop Bulletin. The past week has been unseasonably warm with frequent and copious show ers. The dally average temperature ranged ten to twelve degrees above the normal, and every district reports rain fall from one to three inches. All crops have received great benefit from this excess of heat and moisture Corn planting has been delayed by the showers, but it is well advanced in all parts of the state. Iu the early planted fields corn is well started, showing a fine stand, and in some sections the work of cultivation is begun. All re ports indicate a considerable increase of corn acreage. In some sections cut and wire worms have begun their ravages at an unusual ly early date, and in a small area chinch bugs are reported at work in the rye fields. All Bmall grain crops are unusually promising. Pastures and meadows show vigorous growth, wherever the plants have not been winter killed or burned out by the drouth. All the forces of nature seem to be doing their best to repair damages of the past year. The wind storms on May 3, in the northwest district developed local tor nadoes with destruction of life and buildings. No material damage to crops reported. J. T.
