There -were 3,400 new post CSces es
4ablishd during the last fiscal year. This
sho-ws not only that tbe country is de-
eloping in a rapid way, but also that
- he present administration is yery friend
Ij to the interests of a people in a matter
-which closely concerns their business and
, ecial welfare
sIt has almost thrown the Journal man
. into the rabies because the republicans
nominated such farmers as S. L. Thomas
H. A. Stopher and A. Sheldon at the
mrention last Saturday. He couldn't

with the old cry of railroad farmer
racket and so on. What do the Alliance
people think of such slush thrown
.-t respectable farmers by that
organ simply because they have been
-chosen by their party to stand as candi
, dates for public office ? Will that course
win the friendship of the farmers, to
have the men of their own vocation as
ailed the very moment they dare to stand
op and offer themselves as candidates
' for public office t Verily that organ is
the farmer's friend.
Ocu democratic neighbor and friends
bad better pootpone their war on the re
publican nominets for county and h-;i.s-littivo
position until tliy make some
nominations of their own, which will not
be until September tfrd.

obliged to rvsoit i buy mows, cellars,

It is probably Becretary VVindom's in
tention to redeem a large part of the 4 J
percent bonds before their maturity,
which arrives about thirteen months
hence. The amount of these bonds now
outstanding is a little over $108,000,000.
Assuming that about $70,000,000 will be
devoted to debt payments in the present
fiscal year, two thirds of which is likely
to be devoted to the purchase of 4 per
cents, the amount of this issue unredeem
ed on September 1, 1891, when these
bonds become payable at par at the op
tion of the government, will probably
not be much abuve $ 00,000,600 or $40,
000,000. The editor of the Journal does not lik
Mr. Thomas, he is too much of a railroad
man for that gentleman. Presently the
democratic party will place in nomination
P. E. White or Willitm Neville, and then
the Journal will have an pportunity to
spread their praise as honest, hard fisted
anti monopolists and lead the democratic
members of the alliance off to the polls
to vote for them. The IIhrald doeB not
allude to Mr White or Mr. Neville as un
fit gentlemen for legislative timber or
from any diBcourteota motive, but simply
to illustrate the political assinine qualties
of the editor of the democratic sheet.
Following- is the original package
measure passed by congress by a vote of
113 to 07. It is substantially the senate
bill as amended: 'That whenever any
article of commerce is imported into any
state from any other state or territory or
foreign nation and there held or offered
for sale, the sale shall then be subject to
the laws of such state; provided that nv
discrimination shall be made in the state
in favor of its citizens against those of
other state or the territoty in respect to
the sale of any article of commerce, nor
in favor of its own products against
ttose of a like character produced in
other states and territories. Nor shall
the transportation of commerce through
any state be obstructed except by the
necessary enforcement of the health laws
of such state."
A bill has been introduced in the
units nlnriner th name of Gen. Fremont s
uv"v I o
widow on the pension roll at two thous
and dollars per year. Gen, Fremont was
a typical westerner, having spent th
greater part of his military career on the
frontier. He rendered the country val
iant services as a warrior and explorer
In his death tbe country has lost one of
the most unique, original and forcible
characters that ever figured in its limitary
history. One by one our great military
heroes are spreading "their tents on
fame's eternal camping ground,' and
thousands of the brave soldier boys, who
by their sides bore the brunt of battle
are annually answering to the final roll
call. Hub.
No democratic paper we have yet seen
has given any valid or common sense
reason why the election bill should not
b come a law. They simply do not want
anything t j interfere with elections. Why
do thev obiect? Such a law will do in
jury in no part of the country where every
citizen is allowed to vote his fentiments
anrl hawfi that vote counted. If all is
peace, honesty and good, will north and
south, the law will not be enforced and
will become a dead letter. If any citizen
is by any system cheated out of his yote
on congressman every honest democrat
must declare that to be wrong ana snouia
favor the law. Gentlemen, the law will
not hurt you if you play fair. The re
publicans are tired of so much "fudging"
and they are going to have an honest
game in the future. Indinola Herald.
Thk state campaign is waxing not down
in Arkansas. The republicans have in
dorsed the candidate of the anion labor
party, Mr- Napoleon B. Frizer, and the
democrat have nominated the present
chief executive of tht state, James P.
Eagle. The two rivals are aonducting
an old fashioned campaign, holding joint
debates in the presence of large audieces.
Frizer, the anion labor candidate, is a
Methodist minister, and an exceedingly
eloquent and forcible speaker, who does
not hesitate to openly arraign the Arkans
as democracy for its corrupt practices.
The majority of his supporters are, of
coarse, republicans. .The republican
leaders in Arkansas, despairing of any
thing like an honest election if they ran
a ticket distinctly republican, deemed it
best to combine with the labor party and ,
make a grand effort to overturn the dem
ocratic gang of bulldozers and ballot box
stealers who now misrule Arkansas.
General Powell Clayton is working hard
for the fusion ticket, and it is believed
that the democrats will be defeated if a
tolerable fair election can be held. Om

BERLIN
Orn first wanderings through the
strtets of Berlin did not fill our fouls
witli that thrill of joy and that sympa
thetic trepidation of the whole being
which we experienced whm we first
visited Venice, for instance, or Florence,
or Conctantinpple; nor did they excite
that wonderment and eager desire to
appreciate wbic'i we had felt in tho great
American cities like Chicago. Berlin is
absolutely wanting in charm, whether of
situation, of general aspect, or of histori
cal souvenirs. It is a modern city, but
its modern aspect has no marked charac
ter, and next to no originality. From
the time of Frederiek the Great, who was
the founder of its prosperity, down to
the present p-riod of active transforma
tion, which dates irom the Franco-Ger
man war, the architectural history of Ber
lin was almost entirely one of imitation
and adaptation. The street architecture,
until within the past ten years, has been
absolutely null mere rows of box-like
habitations pierced with the necessary
openings for light, ingress and egrens
but conceived absolutely as a packing
case is conceived, without any regard for
agreeableness of proportions, lines, and
distribution of masses. The public
buildings, of which several are grandiose
have been erected, for the most part, un
der the influence of mistaken admiration
of the models of ancient Greece. From
'Impressions of Berlin," by Theodore
Child, in Harper's Magazine for Aagust.
FAVORABLE OUTLOOK.
Inter Ocean.
The general tone of the Washingtor
dispatcheq is much more favorable, now
than a week or so ago. The senate is no
longer drifting, the republicans taking a
rest and letting the 6hip be tossed about
by the wayes of the democratic minority.
It seeds to be sailing by chart and com
pass. There is every reason to believe
that the tariff bill, the election bill will
be passed in due time with' such modifi
cations as the senate may deem wise. The
rules will be so far changed as may ' be
necessary to prevent interminable talk.
Debates is one thing and obstruction is
another. ' It would be unwise to make
the change in advance of the demon
strated need of it. If the democratic
senators so far dishonor the high position
they occupy as national legislators as to
talk day after day for the sole and un
disguised purpose of preventing action
then the change required will be abun
dently justified in the eyes of all reason
able persons.
The house was engaged yesterday in
onsidering the original package bill. A
final vote was reached. The measure
passed differs materially from the senate
bill. No doubt the subject will now go
before a conference committee. It must
not be allowed to rest where it is. On
the contrary it would be inexcusable
dereliction for this session to close with
out the ibtual enactment of a law such
as the supreme court suggested in the
dictum of the original package decision.
It would be serious from both a moral
and a political point of view.
This decision as matters now stand, is
being made use of to foster and stimulate
the liquor trade. The republican party
controls congress, and has, therefore, the
power to remedy the evil. Not to use it
would be to put a club in the hands of
the enemy, and one which would be
wielded with deadly effect in many parts
of the country.
There is much said these days con
cerning the farmer; he is termed the
"poor farmer" "the down trodden
farmer" and various other names all of
which is certainly very disgusting to the
average intelligent, free American born
farmer citizen. The Herald is not ac
quainted with the condition of farmers
in other parts of the state; they may be a
f lot of ignorant downtrodden slaves, but
we want to resent with great vigor the
idea that any such condition of affairs
exists among the farmers of Warren
county; on the contrary they, as a class,
ire the wealthiest, most independent, of
all others. They run the politics of the
county, hold the offices, represent the
county in the legislature, levy the taxes
and assess the property. The two banks
in Indianola are owned, controlled and
managed by farmers. They are about
the only set of gentlemen, who when
they die and the debts are paid have
something to divide among their children;
the judges and clerks of eourt know this
to be true.
The farmers of Warren county have
today deposited in the bank of this city
about $50,000- which is there for safe
keeping, they do not get interest on it.
Rome of the farmers are scarce of money
and many of them are mortgaged but as
a class they have plenty. The farmers
of Warren county disdain to be called
down-trodden. They are free men and
not slaves to any man or set of men.
The Herald is of the opinion that
the farmers of all Iowa areas indepen
dent and free as those of this county.

Toronto Merchant.
Those who hayo the ability to paycath
as a rule want some remuneration for do
ing so, and while in principle it inay'not
be altogether right, yet it is true. The
wholsule merchant, in order to rt tian his
customers, concedes it, and the wide
awake retailer looks upon discounts as a
factor in his profits, and when he can
possibly save tbetn does so. The object
in view is, of coure, the bringing of busi
ness down to as near a cash basis as pos
sible, and its tendency is undoubtedly in
that direction, and the wonder is that its
provisions have not been extended by the
retailer to the consumer. Were this done,
we fancy it would result beneficially to all
concerned. The thrifty housewife, like
the wide-awake retail merchant, would
undoubtedly make a greater effort than
she otherwise would to pay spot cash, or
to settle her account at seven, ten or thir
ty days if there were somo inducement
for her to do so. At present, should a
novelty or luxury catch h r eye there is a
temptation to purchase, although she may
not absolutely need it. and defer the pay
ment of her drop goods, grocery or
butcher bill a week or so longer. But if
she knew that by following such a course
fifteen cents would be lost here and
twetty-fiye cents there, how chary she
would be; catch her making purchases at
the expense of the discounts. What the
rate of discounts shall be is for the store
keeper to determine; or need it be always
in money I We fancy to that to give
articles out of the store as premiums
might serve the purpose as well. Of
course it is not expected that discounts
will do away with bad debts. The effect
should be, however, to minimize them;
but the main object to be obtained is
shorter credits and prompter payments,
and every wide-awake merchant knows
what this means to him.
Mr. J. W. Geeqobt, of Kansas, has
prepared a report to be laid before con
gress, in which he claims that the greater
portion of the territory between the nmty
nin'h meridian and Rocky Mountains can
be irrigated by means of reserveirs and
artesian wells, and urging that some ac
tion be taken upon this matter. From
the investigation! far made in this di
rection, there is certainly great reason to
believe that Mr. Gregroy is correct in his
ideas on this question, and it stands the
peo'ple cf this territory in hand to bring
every influence possible to bear upon con
gress, to secure some favorable action on
this question at once. It is all folly t
stand back and, out of a mistaken idea
of independence, refuse to ask aid of the
general government on a plea that west
ern Nebraska is able to take care of her
self without any help. We contribute
full share to the support of our general
government and is certainly as descrying
of aid when needed as any other state
Other states are not backward in asking
for aid in various ways, and they succeed
in obtaining it . We need aid in this
undertaking and there is no reason why
we should not have it. We believe that
this matter should be taken in hand at
once and that every means, in the shape
of petitions and otherwise, should be vig
rously used to bring about the desired re
sult Perkins County Sentinel.

door was picked up also where woodard
was tied. The night watchman was A.
