Hocretary August Post of the lowa farm

well in his manipulation of the conference

been learned that Post succeeded in forc
ing through a resolution favorable to Htram
C. Wheeler of Hac county as a candidate
for governor. Mr. Wheeler was a candi
date two years ago, hut was defoated in
convention. He is a wealthy farmer and
stock raiser, owning <I,OOO acres of land.
This indorsement will probably secure the
nomination for Wheeler, as the republican
managers are very anxious to win the co
operation of the alliance. But they are hav
ing a pretty hard hustle to get it.
I Pension Scan da's.
As eocn as ccngrses meet* it should ap
point a committee ta investigate tie pension
bureau. Almost every day a -tnarge of
crockedne*’. of soms kind made against
the management of the bureau. The cdci
m’asfoßarof oeanons, Mr Rvim. has not
been at fail office, it is aUeged in m weeks.

was to the effe.-t that they were The ma
j ir.ty report was made, of course, by those
friendly to the comx.ss.oner. Tnere mi‘t
have been something in the ebarg-s or else
the report m his favor w,u!d have been
unanimous.
Hinoe congress alj' :rr;~d many other
charges have been made against toe eom
m as. oner. It is asserted toat a great deal
of favoritism is shown, and that vast sum*
of the public money are wasted. The
charges are not of a general character. The ;
ways in which money :■ w asted are pointed
out and cases are cited And yet nothing is
done to find out whether or not th a charges
are true.
The pension bureau distr bats* a great j
deal more than $100,000,000 annually, and at ]
the head of it there ought to t a man in
whom the public nai the most implicit con
fidence. Tnere are a doze-i ways in wb.cb
money can he wasted, and if the utmost
vigilance is not exerctse 1 it is certain to he
wasted.
Naturally th* commissioner doesn’t want
to offenl anv one who is an influential re
publican. It is said that a simple request
from one who has influence in the Republi
can party is sufficient to have a man rein
stated on the pension roils. A few days
ago a sample case was published.
A man who had been receiving
a pension was dropped because
tbs examining physician sai 1 that he was
no longer suffering fr >m disability of any
kind. When Gen. Harrison was inaugu
rated this man was in IVa-hington, and at
the request of a friend the commissioner
restored him to the rolls without an exami
nation. He had been off the rolls f r seven
teen years, and he was paid a back pension
for all these years. Such abuses are suffi
cient to bankrupt theriuntry. And if re
ports are to te credited ther<- are thousands
of such abuses.
lesading newspapers of both parties have
asked for Commissioner Raum s removal,
but the Pr-sident pays no attention to the
requests. He does not care, apparently, how
much of the public money is squandered.
And all the time the pension burden is
becoming heavier. The President, in his
“swing around the circle,’’ may tell the
people that he is deeply interested In hav
ing the government honestly and economi
cally administered, but they will not believe
him in the face of such abuses as those
which exist in the pension bureau.
Capturing Blaine’s Thunder.
In hispeech at Galveston the President said
that he was heartily in sympathy with the
reciprocity policy by which it is hoped that
this country will get control of the trade of
the Central and .South American republics.
From the tone of the Presidents remarks
one is at liberty to infer that he is the au
thor of the reciprocity policy. Not long
ago a prominent republican leader was re
ported as saying that the President was the
author of it.
It is worthy of notice, however, that no
su< n claim was made for him until it be
came evident that the reciprocity policy
was fiopular. When the McKinley hill was
[lending, and Mr. Blaine insisted upon the
reciprocity provision, no one ventured to
aisert that Mr. Blaine expressed the wish
of the President in the matter. Indeed, it
was undershiod that he rather helped Mr.
Heed and Mr. McKinley in opposing it.
But the President talks reciprocity now,
and his remarks are applauded. A day or
two ago it was stated in our dispatches that
he began his “swing around the circle”
with the firm intention of not being a can
didate for a renomiuation if he found that
Mr. Blaine was more popular than himself.
Of course there is no truth in that state
ment How could a rnan with such a flat
tering opinion of himself as the President
ha* reach a conclusion not complimentary
to hirnselfi And, besides, how is the Presi
dent to find out whether ho or Mr. Blaine is
the more popular? He i* being warmly
welcomed at every stopping point as the
President, and be elicits applause by capt
uring Mr. Blaine’s thunder--that is, by
claiming credit for a policy of which Mr.
Blaine Is the author.
It is true that tie does not say that he
originated the policy, but he does not give
Mr. Blaine credit for it, and ho speaks of
it in a way that justifies one in believing
that there would not have been anything
like reciprocity if it had not been for him.
it can be safely said that he is not going
to stand aside for Mr. Blaine in 1893. unless
ho has to. He is bidding for the nomina
tion now, and ho is going to get if he can.
The President doesn’t line Mr. Blaine well
enough to permit him to have the nomina
tiou if be can help it.
Replying to inquiries concerning his offi
cial course Sena'or I’effor, the Kansas alli
anoeman is accused of declaiming thusly: “I
do not expect to Sit alone among the mem
bers of the .Senate with a chip on my
shoulders, suggesting that ‘I am holier
than thou’to every man I happen to see, but
I do expect to be an active. earnest working
member of that body, proposing as many
inoasures as possible along the line of re
forms whicn we advocate, and obtaining all
] the help that is possible. I do not expect
I to pay any attention to the politics of ray
I follow-members. What I mean by that is
I that Ido not expect to do anything from
‘ the standpoint of a partisan, either ns a
j republican or as a democrat. I have grown
! bigger than the party harness. 1 am on
I the outside altogether and expect to remain
there.” According to these few remarks
tbs new senator regards himself as quite a
prominent citizen. All of this astounding
corpulence that makes bun bigger than any
party harness has been acquired with
wonderful suddouness. In fact it doth
appear that the sudden statesman is so sur
surprised at his good luck and so pleased
with himself that he likes to pat himself on
the back.
Nearly one-tbird of the registered voters
of New York state neglected to vote last
full, to say nothing of eligible voters who
did not register. That supine indifference
to the suffrage is probably largely due to
the disreputable character of the average
candidates brought out by both parties.
Voters become thoroughly disgusted au j
stay at home.
iHE MOKMMx NEWS: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22. 1891.
Ducb&ulla Programme.
There is a cLffereuc* of opinion among
eedmg al-larce-oien of Kansas as to the
course the o.iincemeo of the north will
pamt if the alliancemen of the south re
fuse to jaen the third party movement. A
few days ago Mr. Frank MeGrsßh. presi
dent of the farmers al.:anoe of Kansas,
stated In a circular, wmch he addressed to
eoitbem alhancemen. that if they refused to
join the third party movemsnt the Alliance
i men cf the north weald go hack to the
Republican party. It was his purpose,
. evidently, to bulldoze the alliance men of
the south into sending de.egates to the coa
veatiiia of May 19. which n eets at
1 Cincinnati, for the purpose of form
ing anew party. His c.rcular
attracted very little attention, apparently,
atn'k.g a.iancem*n of the South. Toe
president of the alliance of Georgia noticed
it, but evidently be did not think it cf much
consequence. In aa interv.ew he sa; 1 that
southern aiianoemen were not in favor of a
third party and would not take part in a
third party movement. The third party
question, he said, was virtually sett.ed at the
convention of the national aliiar.ee at Ocala.
Devi fiumbauld. chairman of the allumce
state central committee of Kanas makes an
issue with President McGrath a* to the
cour-e northern alliancetnen wili adopt if
aliiarcemen of the south do not go with the
third party movement. In an address which
he has is* led to aliiancemen of Kansas he
says that In that statealliaucemen have left
the old political pirties never to return to
them, and that the Kansas delegates will go
to Cincinnati to a-.-i-t in organi/.ng a third
party. He declares that Kaosa alliance
men have made up th-ir minds to start a
third party, a-.d that thev wiil stick to that
determination, whatever alliancetnen of
other states may do. He wants both of the
old parties overthrown.
Ne.ther President McGrath, Mr. Dum
bauld nor the other alliance leaders of the
north are In a position to speak for the
alliance in their respective states. It is fair
to presume that what they are after now is
a little cheap notoriety. When the time
comes for the alliance to sav whether or
not it wants a third party there will be
alliancemen who will completely over
shad jw the two Kansas leaders who are just
now thrusting themselves upou the atten
tion of the public.
And it would not be at all surprising if
the northern wing of the alliance should de
cide that the time has not yet come for
starting anew party. It would be folly for
the alliance to name a presidential ticket,
because the ticket w ould certainly be de
feated. It does very well for Chairman
Dumbauld to talk as he does, but it is
doubtful if he means ail he savs
From present indications there is no prob
ability that a third party will be started
very soon, notwithstanding the assertion of
Chairman Dumbauld to the contrary. The
southern farmers are getting along very
well and they are likely to let well enough
alone. And without the farmers of the
s mth an alliance presidential ticket would
command very little support.
It is a rather interesting fact that alli
ancemen of democratic faith, even in Kan
sas, are doing very little toward inaug
urating anew party. The talk of anew
party comes from a few men who have
not consulted with the rank and file of the
alliance order, and who, therefore, do not
know what the sentiments of alliancemen
relative to a third party are. Messrs. Mc-
Grath and Dumbauld may be good enough
men in their way, but they are not big
enough to found a political party. They
will find that out before long. In the mean
time, their differences may do the Kansas
alliance a groat deal of harm.
Typhus Fever Cases.
It is rather remarkable that so many
typhus fever cases are finding their way into
New York. The first case was found there
about three weeks ago. The fever patieDt
was a man who went to New York from
Australia by way of Han Francisco. The
nature of his disease was not discovered
until after after death. Three other cases
have ben discovered in the city, all of which
were imported. The French steamer La
Bourgogne, which arrived in New York on
Hunday with 800 steerage passengers, had a
man on board who was suffering from ty
phus fevir.
It can hardly be possible that this fever
is following the grip. It is an extremely
dangerous fever and highly contagious. If
it should obtain a lodgment in New York
it would undoubtedly become epidemic.
The New York board of health is doing
all it can to guard against its introduction,
but it is puzzled to explain its appearance
in bo many different quarters.
Rbodo Island gave refuge to Anne Hutch
inson, New England’s first woman preacher.
But it was not until Sunday last that a
woman was ordained to preach within
the borders of the state. Mrs. Anne Garlin
Spencer was ordained to the ministry and
installed in charge of a religious Society
worshiping in Providence. It is a body
meeting under a peculiar bond of union. Its
building and the chief fund were left by the
late James Eddy, well known as a connois
seur of art. To some extent the society re
sembles the society for ethical culture. Mrs.
Spencer is described as a sweet-faced and
modest woman, who was early interested in
the woman suffrage movement aad the free
religious society. Rather a queer training
for the ministry.
The Baroness Alexanderissa Hecscy is a
sornwhat eccentric woman. She is the
wife of one of the richest and proudest
Hungarian magnates. Not long ago she
was the bosom friend of the Austrian
empress. Her husband would not give
her as much pin money as she though she
ought to have, and now, in abbreviated
skirts, she is siuging risky songs in a cafe
to Berlin young men for S3JO a month.
She expresses an intention to continue at
the cafe unless her husband promises to
give her as much money ns she wants.
Perhaps her husband, proud os he is, will
lot her sing to her heart’s content.
If President Polk undertakes to denounce
hiseretwhile confidential man, Ritteuhouse,
for every offense committed against the
alliance and distinguished public men
throughout the country, and the 'aws of
common decency, ho will probably find time
to do nothing else, according to present pros
pects. Suppressing that irresponsible young
man in some summary and vigorous way
seems essential to the credit of the alliance
and the quiet of the country.
Wicked newspaper paragraphs™ have

to see another ballet before they wholly shut

Nine years ago Mari* ’ "attel, a handsome
young woman, came as a steerage passen
ger to this country. She said that she was a
wilow. and Peter Behrens, a young express
man in New York, r—'am* enamored of
her. After a short lov--making they were
married. Several months ago Mrs. Behrens
expressed a desire to visit ter native land.
Peter objected. IVh.> he had his will she
had her way. Before departure she a--
toueded her lord by informing him
that her first h tshand, Robert
\ attel, was living ia Germany.
Behrena renewed tu persuasions for
her to remain with him, but she made up
her mind to go, and go she did. Peter
called at the barge of ' end, after relating
the story of hi* misp.a ~d affections, said
that his wife had *t;>r. his naturalization
paper; and that he ha i received informa
tion that she, acoompar..ei by her first .hus
band, was on her way to New York. It
was Peter's suspicion tnat his papers were
to be used for the purp'se of passing the
other husband througr. th* landing bureau.
He produced a letter from Breslau which
suited tuantae other husband had just been
released fron| a twelve .ark l confinement
in piriao#. Pater said t*.it ba was willing
to take hit wife back, and begged that the
other husband he not allowed to land. Ail

Kiowa is m Kansas. Kiowa is also one
of the old-time cattle towns. At present
the citizens to a man are ia opien revolt
against the lady who, as mayoress of the
qjty, now controls in inicipal affairs. Ki
owa has heretofore always been a “wet”
town. But last Tuesiay the handful of
prohibit! mists and th* women got together
and elected, by a majority of two, Mrs. Dr.
Paxton mayoress of the city. Directly
after installation the pew executive dis
missed the former city marshal, put in a
new man, and ordered every one of the
eleven saloons in the mty closed tight and
all the billiard rooms shut up. These places
have been the main attractions of the town.
Because of its liberality in these matters
Kiowa has always been a favorite rendez
vous for cattlemen, whose money has con
tributed to the welfare of the merchants.
Naturday a meeting of business men was
called aad a committee dispatched to inter
view the mayoress. But she would not
budge from her high moral pedestal. Her
husband was seen, but he could do nothing.
Apparently he has very little influence with
the administration. Another meeting was
held, and it was determined to defy the
orders of the mayoress, and to keep the
saloons opiea despite the city marshal. Just
what will be the outcome is bard to fore
tell, but the two factions in the town are
hourly becoming more warlike in their
attitudes. And they apparently have an
unlimited supply of attitudes. Something
is liable to happen mighty sudden.
White republicans iu South Carolina

Well," was the answer, T will relate to you
a little instance of mip!aced confidence. Some
years ago I was attached to a ship • u the China
station. One night it was my turn to take the
midwatefa. I settled myself on the starboard
bridge ra.l.
"In a f*w moments I noticed a commotion
in the water close P* the snip. Tn**r? appeared
not more than a half-cable length from where T
was standing a most gigantic sea serpent. I

to my brother officers, and soon after turned
into my bunk. Just before .lunch I felt like
drinking a glass of beer. and. ringing for the
boy, ordered him to bring me a bottle. The
rascal didn't appear in a reasonable time and I
rang for h.m again. ‘What’s the matter with
the beer, Jim?’ I asked.

"And that is the reason that I don’t like to tell

A Woman’s Wit.
It was 11 o’clock at night, and I was going to
my room in a Florida hotel, pays the Detroit
Free Press, when a woman came out of her
room, fully dressed, and asked
Do you belong to the hotel?"
"No. ma'am."
“Are there many people here to-night?’*
"It is crowded."
"And it won't do to start a panic. I/?t me sav
quietly to you that the hotel is on fire. T have
Known it for ten minutes, but dii not want to
create an excitement."
"Are you sure ma'am?" I askei.
"Entirely sure, sir. I smelled the smoke while
in bed. You go quietly down and tell the clerk
and I will knock on all the doors on the first
floor."
fehe was wonderfully cool and collected, and I
never thought of doubting her assertion. Going
down by the stairway I beckoned the c'.erk aside
and told him of the fire. He went to the eleva
tor with me and ascended to the third floor,
where we round about twenty half-dressed
people in the halls. The woman who had given
me orders came up and said:
"Come this way; I don’t think the fire has
much of a start yet "
We followed her to her room and began to
sniff and snuff There was certainly a strong
odor of something burning, but the c.eak had
taken only one sniff when he went out and
rapped on the next door.
“Hello!" called a voice.
"Are you smoking?"
"Yes."
“Smoking Florida tobacco?"
"Yes; what of it? ’
"Nothing. Ma'am, you can go hack to bed.
Much obliged to you for your sagacity and wit,
but both were a little too keen this time. The
stingy old cuss in that room is smoking swamp
tobacco, and It always smells like a fire eating
it way under a pine floor. '*
His Weak Spot.
One evening four or five drummers and agents
who had been working Quincy, says the
Chicago yews , to no purpose were discussing
their ill luck in the office of the hotel, when one
observed:
"There's an old shad down here in a hard
ware store who makes me tired. This is about
the fifteenth time I've tried for an order, and
it’s no go."
"Old chap with a big no6e on him?" queried
one of the others.
"Yes."
"Ordered me out doors, confound him."
"And he told me," said a third, "that he
never bought of an agent, trusted a stranger,
or got caught on any mans game."
"That’s old Blank to a dot," put in the land
lord. "He’s as sharp as he is stingy."
Considerable more was said in the same
strain, but by and by a man who had regis
tered from Chicago put in:
‘’Boys, it's ail in understanding human na
ture. Bet you SOO even up that I ('an get $lO
out of him in fifteen minutes, and that without
value received or signing my name to a paper."
His money was covered instantly, and next
morning he took one of the crowd down to the
store, introduced himself, and said:
“Mr. Blank, the governor of the state gave
me your name as a prominent resident of the
neighborhood. Our house is publishing county
histories of Illinois. Every subscriber at SUS
has a full paged portrait and two pages of read •
ing matter I shall take only five in this city,
and you being the most prominent resident I
have called upon you first."
"Well, sir, in just twelve minutes he had old
Blank's order for a book, and $lO paid down as
a guarantee that he would take it. He had bit
him in his weak spot, and our money fell into
his pocket with a thud which could'be heard
clear across the hotel office.
A Revision.
From the Christian at Work.
How fresh in my mind are the scenes of my
girlnood.
As keen recollection presents them to view
Tilt kitchen, the woodshed, and knots of green
firewood.
And all the hard work I had then to go
through;
The bread 1 must knead out, and doughnuts to
fry brown,
The \ ies for the threshers, and town folks, so
swell.
The clothes I must rub out with pounder and
washtub.
The leaky old washtub, remembered so well;
The washtub, the washtub, the iron-bound wash
tub.
The back-breaking washtub that sat on the
well.
The cows I must milk ere the breakfast was
ready.
Tne beds I must make ere the dinner begun,
The dishes to wash when the znenfolks were
resting
Sure man's work oft ceasetb, but woman's
ne’er done
The floors I must scrub hard, and bags I must
patch up.
The stockings to darn; all the tasks none could
tell.
How oft in my dreams I'm doing big washing,
With a leaky old washtub. remembered so
well;
The washtub, the washtub, the iron-bound
washtub.
The bacx-break ing washtub that sat on the
well.
The old worn-out vessel, I now think with pleas
ure,
Has gone where It never will trouble me more;
1 view in its stead now with exquisite pleasure.
Machines which prevent the old backaches of
yore;
Although lopg removed from that hard situa

Few lean of regret do intrusively swell
When fancy reverts to my father's old farm

With soft soap-streaked washtub way out on
the well
The washtub, the washtub, the iron bound

facture—Tte Per Capita Debt $26.
Washington, April 2L—The saperic
j sendeet of the census to-day made public a
i bulletin giving statistics of mortgages in the
states of Alabama and lowa. The work in
| connection with this investigation was per-
by spe-.ai agents Gecrge K.
; Hoimes and John 8. Lord. The bulletin
shows that the debt in force in the state of
Alabama Jan. 1, 1-9), was $39,027,983, of
which $28,762,337, or T 3.70 per cent, o' the
total aon acres, and $10,265,596 or 26.30
r-er cent. of the total is on lots. The total
is obtained by ad;ng the existing debt on
acres to the existing debt on lots, and is not
i obtained by computation.
DUE TO SEW INVESTMENTS.
A large proportion of the debt on acres
is due to investments in mining and iron
and steel manufacture, the counties where
industrial enterprise has recently appeared
having a total debt of $25,093,936, or 61:30
per cent, of the total debt of state, while
their populati n is 30.94 per cent, of the
t Jtal population of the state. Tne debt of
Dallas county, containing the city of Selma,
is $632,755; of Mobile county, containi g
the city of Mobile, $46c,894, and of Mont
gomery county, containing the capital of
the state, $1,307,623,
THE PER CAPITA INDEBTEDNESS.
The per capita indebtedness of the state is
$26. The amount is highly variable among
the counties, and is relatively large in
counties where the recent investments of
capital have been large. Tne per capita in
debtedness of Jefferson county is $167, of
Calhoun c uniy S7O, and of Morgan county
s'*s. These three counties have the highest
ratios in the state. Tne average decreases
down to $3 to one of population of Marion
and Winston counties.
like of mortgages.
The average life of mortgages in Ala
bama is short in comparison with the life of
mortgages in the north. The reason for this
seems to be that renewals are more frequent
in the south. Generally the life of a mort
gage in Alabama is from 2 1 , to 3 ; £ years.
Taking the average for the state the life of
a mortgage on acre* is 2.97 years; on lots
2.13 years; total 2.73 years. It has been
impossible to obtain the life of mortgages in
every county in Alabama and in most of
the other states.
RECORDS INCOMPLETE.
In some counties no mortgages of 1880-53
have been canceled of record; in other
counties the records were in such confused
condition that the expense of taking the
cancel ations would have been too great,
while in counties that have been recently
settled no mortgages oovering reil estate
were made during 1880-83. The life of
mortgages in such counties ha3 been sup
plied by the life ascertained in neighboring
counties. The proportion of partial pay
ments made on the face of the total amount I
of mortgages in force in Alabama is 10.72
per cent.
iowa’s showing.
The total existing real estate mirtgage
indebtedness of lowa is $199,0234,956, 74.77
percent, of which, or $148,814,645, is on
acres, and 25.23 per cent., or $50,220,311 on
lots. There is an average indebtedness of
$lO4 to one of population in ti e state. In
Woodbury county it is $258; in Lyon county
$367, and in Osceola county S2OB, toe-e
ratios being the highest in the state, from
which they deseen i to $36 for D bias cour
ty, which is the lowest in ti e state. The
average life of a mortgage in lowa is 4.93
years. The general uniformity of the life
of mortgages, whether on acies or on lots,
or on ail real estate, ;s noticeable through
out the counties of lowa. The partial pay
ments for the state represent
11.60 per cent, of the face of the in
debtedness on acre*, 14.19 per cent, on
lots, a total of 12.27 per ce„t. The com
putations necessary to show the number of
acres and lots incumbered by the existing
debt have not yet be;n completed for these
two states, and considerable work remains
to be done before these results will be
known.
The total recorded indebtedness of lowa
at the end of each of the last ten vears is
497,710 mortgages, aggregating $431,'288,542,
that of 1839 aggregating $50,902,370.
InAlabama the indebtedness for the same
years is given as follows:

ALABAMA’S RATE OF INTEREST.
The chief rate of interest in Alabama is
represented to have been 8 per cent., the
recorded debt of ten years having borne
that rate, being 63.60 per cent, of the total.
The amount bearing interest at 6 per cent
was 17.15 pdr cent, of the total; the amount
bearing interest at 7 per cent, was 4.57 psr
cent, of the total; the amount bearing
interest at 12 and 12.5 per cent, was 625
per cent, of the total. Of the total recorded
debt of $91,099,623. 11.43 per cent, drew
interest above 10 per cent., and 88.51 per
cent, drew interest at 10 per oent. or less.
Above 8 per cent, all interest is usurious",
and has been so during the ten years pre
vious to Jan. 1, 1890. Usurious rates are
o- ware, actually paid on 13,61 per cant, of
the recorded debt.
IOWA’S INTEREST CHARGES.
Interest of 8 per cent, is, or was, paid on
4\60 per ceut. of the debt of lowa recorded
during the tn years; interest at 7 per cent,
on 21.91 per cent, of the total; interest at 10
per cent, on 13.28 per cent, of the total • in
terest at 6 per cent, on 12.88 per cent, of the
total; interest above 10 p;r cant, on 0.02 of
1 per cent, of the to T al. The legitimate rate
of interest is 10 per cent, and has been
so for ten years. Tne bulletin further shows
that in four counties ia lowa where a thor
ough investigation has been made, and
which is believed to be a fair average of the
state, about 90 per ceut. of the indebtedness
was contracted on acc unt of purchase
money, improvements and buildings, and in
Alabama about 96 per cent.
