FARM mortgages are being paid off, instead of renewed, this year. The farm mortgage loan companies are the calamityites now. Their December loans this year, were not one-fourth as much, as they were last year. The farmers are getting out of debt and not making new ones.
THE reason people are happier Christ mas week than at any other time, is because it is the time that they are giving gifts, and making others happy. Why not continue the practice of making others happy during the entire year. It would result in much additional happiness to all concerned.
AMERICAN pearl buttons are now being made, equal to and in some respects, superior to the best imported articles. The industry will be one of our best, and both the dealer and buyer will be glad to know that a large number of Americans are making these buttons at good living wages.
SPRINGER was appointed chairman of the Ways and Means committee. His ideas and those of Mills differ on the tariff but little. Mills would kill the McKinley bill by cutting off its tail, figuratively speaking, just behind the ears. Springer's idea is to begin at the end of the tail and cut off an inch at a time. Neither will work. Protection and reciprocity, are here to stay.
UNCLE SAM and Miss Columbia, together with all their relatives and friends, who inhabit and possess the great country known as the United States, have great cause to rejoice and be glad this year. Our country is prosperous and our people blessed with an abundance of good things. We not only have an abundance for ourselves but are sharing it with the starving people of Russia and Mexico. It is indeed blessed to give. No nation on the globe has so much cause for rojoicing as America. Reader, are you not glad that you are an American citizen?
TO-MORROW is Christmas, a name dear all over the world. It will be on the lips of everyone to-night. Many bright eyes* will be looking for old Santa to-night. All the girls and all the boys will be up early to-morrow morning and the questions will be, "what did Santa bring for you— for me? This will be the question of little tots and of the bouncing girls of sweet sixteen and even older. There will be joy and gladness as the many rich and beautiful things left by the jolly old Santa, are brought to view. Perhaps there will be tears and sorrow in some homes that have been overlooked, homes where want and suffering reigns and there are no gifts for the children. The poor as well as the rich are Santas children—God's children, and reader, if you have cause to believe that any have not personallv been visited by Santa Claus, can you not out of your abundance, make some homes and little ones happy. yourself happy by making others hap

THE grippe seems to be more prevalent this year than ever before and quite as fatal.
COUNCIL BLUFFS NONPAREIL The Sioux City Journal remarks "that the corn crop helps the farmer. Likewise the Republican party." This is true. It is hard to say which helps the farmers most—the corn crop or the Republican party.
THE REPUBLICAN would be glad to pub lish a list of articles that the people buy that are now higher in price than they were before the McKinley bill passed. The Democratic party claimed that every thing would cost more but just ask for the articles.

THE selection of Springer as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee is a Democratic mistake. People who. keep their eyes upon the proceedings gf congress will see a good many mistakes between now and the adjournment of the present session. The Domocratic. leaders and members are not united upon a single great national issue. Ask your Democratic neighbor to name ona.
THE Crisp-Mills fight was a bitter one and the war is still on. Mr. Crisp ap pointed his committees and the Mills men got left. Friends of the speaker captured ths chairmanships and good places on the committees. Bynum was snubbed and Shively from the north part of the state given the preference after Holman in Indiana. A Missouri Democratic congressman says that the Democrats will have the harmony of Hades this winter. There are many old scores to pay off and the probabilities are that' the Mills Democrats will assist Tom Reed in keeping the Hill-Gorman, TammanyCrisp Democrats on the move.

Wilkins Sf Beckner, Proprietors.
SENATOR WASHBURN, of Minnesota, has introduced a bill, which not only taxes dealers in "options" and "future" and imposes a tax on every imaginary bushel of wheat or other grain which is bought or sold. The dealer must give a bond to pay said tax. The option and future business must go, as it is very demoralizing on the market.
THERE are various kinds of times but Christmas times beats them all. Then every body is, or should be happy.,
STEPHEN B. ELKINS of West Virginia has been appointed and confirmed as Secretary of War. As Elkins has always been one of Blaines most active Lieutenant it looks very much like Blaine does not desire the Presidential nomination, but togather with his friends will be for Harrison.
IT now looks very much like the United States wijll engage in a little war with Chili. The people of that little country are very hostile toward Americans and lose no opportunity to insult and mistreat them. America shouid see that her citizen are protected at all hazzards. -. *...

A Second Siege of Diphtheria.
It seems that the diphtheria which was here in the fall was not thoroughly stamped out and during the past two weeks it has been in a number of families with the following fatalities.
A small child of J. W. Little and wife, on West North St. An eight-year-old son of David Howletts on south Mechanic street and the one year old daughter of Rolla Ramsey and wife. There have been a number of other cases but no deaths. There were four or five other cases at Littles two other children of Mr. Howlett were attacked but are now better. Mrs. Rolla Ramsey and her father Dr. S. S. Boots were both attacked by the disease but being older and better subjects for treatment they are much better and will recov er. We understand there has been much negligence in regard to some of the diphtheria cases which have been spoken of. In some cases flags were not up when they should have been owing to a controversy between the Board of Health and the physicians as to whose duty it was to flag the houses. The houses should flagged and seme one is liable to a heavy fine when it is not done. People have taken children to see diphtheria patients and thus given an opportunity to spread the disease. It did not matter whether the people who needlessly exposed themselves and childien were afraid of the terrible disease or not they are liable to take it and die. Some people need restraining so that they may not hurt, or injure other people. Officers should be very strict and see that the law is enforced and the proper disinfectants used and the disease will not spread. -'5
The Matrimonial Market. ftj
Some markets are quoted as quite dull at this time of year while others are very brisk. The briskest market ot all however is the booming matrimonial market. Many lads and lassies are taking unto themselves life partners for weal or for woe. It is a splendid idea to make a good start and those newly married couples do who buy their house furnishing outfits at W. Wilsons. Never before in the history of our city has such a large line of furniture been in Hancock county. Hun dreds of homes have been brightened and made more comfortable by some of Wilsons handsome, durable and low priced furniture. Call and see his lines.
Good and Evil.
I feel very much complimented at receiving a reply to my Reflections on Labor and Capital, of a few weeks ago, from the pen of Mr. Luther Haokleman. Mr. Hackleman misconstrued my meaning in some particulars, or possibly I did not make some points plain enough. I am a firm believer in organization, for in union there truly is strength. Without a perfect system of union in all things, pertaining to our financial, religious er political welfare, no advancement could b« made, I say'a perfect system, Temember. In my sketch I aimed to refer principally to "leaders"as governing organizations of all kinds and the imperfect system ot union. There are many labor unions, in my knowledge, that are being benefitted thereby. But, I cannot say that I approve of an organization, nor do you Mr. Hackleman, that dees not elevate the moral standing of its members assisting them to think and act for themselves, those that allow men, strong in appeal, to govern and control them, without regard to said "leaders" fitmess for the position. Nor do I believe in the imperfect system of organization that admits members of inferior skill, then command capital to accede to their behest.
These men miscalled "leaders" are men of natural strength of character, strong in the work of inflaming their followers, by picturing their fancied wrongs, and strong in their contemputous, ignoring of all the laws and considerations that generally influence more refined persons. They promise, they confuse, they end, in capturing the men who listen to them. Not wishing to work, they place themselves at the head, and assume to dictate, then trouble is likely to result.
Strikes, more injurious to themselves than anyone else, are likefy to occur. AB to individual, self-dependence, to which I alluded, meant that we should not be dupes, by giving up to their control, manhood, intellect and independence. Another fact for us to ponder, is the painful, one that labor has assumed, in struggling for its own right, to devy all rights of any sort to every other element of the community. The honest laborer has an undisputed right to join an association for the bettermeut of his condition, and should do it. But I cannot see his right to force another, equally honest laborer, to join the same association. He also has an undcubted right to demand more wages or less work and to strike in case his demand is refused. But he has no right, whatever, to stab or cudgel his fellow laborer, who is willing to accept the wages which he refuses, or to destroy the property of capital. I cannot speak for the printers union, but there are unions under my observation, that have not shown much foresight OJ judgment in this regulating the matter of wages. I do not know as that could be expected, for from the start, they had at their head, men that were in no way capable to be leaders and dictators of men's actions. They make a grand mistake, I think, when they seek to put all operatives on a level. That one fact makes many organizations a monumental failure, whether among printers, carpenters, painters glass-work-ers, etc. Many of the great rail road strikes and other strikes all over the country, are caused by all endeavori ng to occupy the same platform. I don't believe any class of working people on the face of the globe can do that and succeed. We are all laborers, but some are nicer and finer than otners all cannot be placed upon the same level. I defy anyone to point out where "dictation" has been a success where rank labor union dictation exists it interferes with growth, to a considerable extent. And where dictation and infraction exist in any union or organization, I can point you leaders that are incompetent, unscrupulous and thriftless.
Their order established on an infirm footing, their grumblings are loud and long and their councils are wrong, which incite men to "strike i* mislead labor, invite disaster, which is sure to follow, with loss. And hostile legislation which contains the sentiment of the public, when the sleek, fat, lazy, do. nothing, good -fornothing "supreme heads" of this or that order, lead a body of hard-working, honest men from the "straight and narrow way," that causes them to destroy property, check business and decrease the privileges of others, they are amenable to the law and should be so dealt with. A century of such conduct will not secure to labor an 8-hour day, with 10-hour pay, or compel capital to give a man more wages than he earns. Nor will it give them the power of managing the private affairs of capital against the wishes and the interests of capital. Many of us could get better wages if we worked as industriously to attain a standard of excellence in our labor, that would make us indispensible to our employers as we do to antagonize capital. This I think, would be a better plan than to "strike" for it.
Brother laborers, farmers, everybody, organize by all means but keep within the bounds of reason. As to legislators "seeking for pelf if they do it, and (I presume no one will deny that it is done), read, then vote intelligently. That is the only remedy for it. I do not dispute the facts, that a union is beneficial. A poor man can live and support a family on a dollar a day perhaps, but it will give them the coarsest food and hardly sufficient clothing to koep them warm. If union gives us$2.50 per day, organize, but be careful not to admit men under your protection that don't earn it. Make them come to a certain standard or don't admit them. If you have leaders, choose those that are competent, those that area success, those whose councils are wise, and will not mislead, and cause us to stumble and fall. Many of my fellows don't wish-to be told that they are being wrongfully led and made to do much that will sadly handicap them. The time and money lost from injudicious management never be regained, and this fact should cause an injection of thought and deliberation into future actions. No union can succeed which admits men regardless of their qualifications. In your union Mr. H., none but competent men are admitted, and the non-union men you speak of getting low wages, get them because they are poor printers. Nor can one succeed that receives its inspiration from unreliable, unwise, unthinking sources. In these matters let us be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. I believe I have presented the subject to you Mr. Hacklemau, more clearly as to my views, and said nothing at which you would take issue. Let men dismiss their hired demagogues (those that have them) and begin to think and act for themselves, And let their thinking be in harmony with law, reason and equity, and we won't make ntistakes. RAMBLER.
