The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1886-10-14

THERE is something akin to horrible
fascination in the revelations in the Had
dock murder. The gang of hired assas-
sins, the dark night, the mystery, the
peculiar character of the murdered man,
all the circumstances can hardly be
paralleled by the most lurid of French
novels. Leavitt, the man who turned
states evidence, is a man Of bad char
acter. He it was whom Hadock recog-
nized as the cold enemy from Wisconsin. 1"
Leavitt was active in employing men to
waylay and beat the witnesses for the
prosecution. He charges Arensdorf, a
wealthy brewer, and man of good char
acter, as the murderer. The accounts
given Of that terrible night produce a
thrill Of horror in the reader. Haddock
was logged by the men hired to assault
him. He had been out in buggy and
when he reached the livery stable he
asked whether any one had inquired for
him-seeming to have premonitlon of
his fate. He walked out in the darkness;
was met by a man whom Leavitt says
was Arensdorf, who peered into the face
of the doomed man. Haddock struck
the man with sling-shot and the next
instant was shot dead. The deed was
witnessed by others, and one other per-
son besides Leavitt testifies to the iden-
tity of Arensdorf.
Though the evidence is strong against
him there are many who believe his in
nocence. But another circumstance adds
to the horror of the affair. A man who
it is said was with Arensdorf, Peters the
brewery driver, is missing and it is
| charged he was murdered to prevent his
confessing. Leavitt is fearful for his
life and is we'll guarded. There seems
! to be an actual reign of terror in Sioux
CITY. Prohibition has turned into
tragedy.

THERE is something inspiring in the
name and reputation of Colonel Wood
ward, the quiet student who when the
time for action comes is alert, powerful
and influential. He has never sought a
nomination and has always accepted one
reluctantly and only from a sense of duty.
But he rises so grandly to every occasion;
lis scholarship and worth command so
much admiration that wherever he is
known he commands respect from friend
aud foe. Had the same amount of work
been done for Woodward through the
state that was done for Bouck, the result
of the election would be in no sense IN
certain, and the man whose name is
synonym for intelligence, independence
and modesty would be Wisconsin's next
governor without fail.

The Prairie du Chen Courier pitcht

The Prairie du Chen Courier pitches
in quite vigorously for Mr. Johnson, the
democratic nominee for state treasurer,
and says:
eff to be a decent law abiding citizen
disqualities a man like Mr.. Johnson from
filling place on the democratic ticket,
or is a sufficient cause for reading men
out of the party, it is time to disband and
let Boss Hinsey and his stripe run the
democratic party as a side show for the
anti prohib ton hippodrome.
That is the proper way to talk. The
democratic party wants no alliance, ex-
press or implied with prohibitionists or
anti-prohibitioDists, both of which par
ties have run wild on one idea. The at
tack made on Mr.. johnson by the Stats
Zei.ung should make him friends every
where.

CONGRESSMAN GUEsTHER had to over

CONGRESSMAN GUENTHER had to over
come a grest amout of prejudice before
it was conceded that his success was due
to the force of brains. In the first place
it was charged that his prominence which
insured him the nomination for state
treasurer was due to his position as an
/ officer in the society of Turner's and to
no personal merit. Then the fact that
he was late arrival from Germany Gre
ated certain amount of prejudice, and
it was thought he was making capital out
of bis nationality. A lawyer of this city,
of German parentage, with whom the
writer is ON confidential terms, often ex-
pressed the wish that the Germans would
put forward man of older citizenship
and more brains if they desired recognl-
| ton as nationality. To-day that law
yer who is democrat of more than local
prominence, admits Guenther's pre-
eminent ability, acknowledges it was force
of character and sterling ability which
won him position, and bis only regret
4 in that connection is that Guenther Is
not democrat. The Pilot had much to
say against Mr.. Guenther while it mis-
Judged him and so far as he knew of the
paper was aware of its hostility toward
him. During the last session of congress
some information from one of the de-
partments was desired which required
some trouble to procure. After many
failures Mr.. Guenther was appealed to.
He would be fully justified in ignoring
the request, but in a comparatively short
nished through him. This is proof of
the mans diligence, courtesy and readi-
meas to overlook adverse, and even unjust
criticism. 1t is an advantage to every
person in the state to have such man
in congl ess who is ever prompt orespond
to reasonable requests. Mr.. Guenther
has proven himself broad enough to rise
above party when craftsmanship conflicts
with public interests as he fully demon
strated during the last session of congress.
We do not want partisans so much as we
do faithful public servants, and a man
who has the courage to antagonize bis
party at the dictates of his conscience, is
a man deserving of honor. Mr.. Guen-
Their is no trimmer nor does he build his
hopes of power on the accident of his
nationality. He is man standing on
his own merits and asking nothing from
reflected light.

WAR IN MANITOWOC.

The Wagner Hardware Company has
bought $4,000 worth of stoves at Great
Bankrupt Sale, these stoves were bought
at almost gift and will be sold from so
to rs per cent. lower than the regular
prices. They sell first class No. cook
stove at 800 and No. 9 at $50. With
every stove they give written guarantee
for one year, this guarantee is from the
factory which makes these stoves and is in
full blast to day and one of the largest
stove founderies in the world. Every
body can get get repairs for these stoves
free of charge one year after you bought
the stove. Now is the time to buy.
Don't forget it is only the Wagner Hard
ware Co. on the south side of the River
which sells these stoves.

The Milwaukee Journal has the mi

The Milwaukee Journal has the mo-
nopolist organs on the hip. 1t says a
grand jury indicted Knights of Labor
for conspiracy in boycotting. The object
was to increase the price of labor. The
coal dealers have formed combination
to run up the price of coal, but they will
not be indicted. There is an old and a
homely saying that "what's sauce for the
goose is sauce for the gander," but it has
no application when money is pitted
against flesh and blood. When Scion
was told his laws were like spiders webs,
something to catch the small flies, but
through which the large ones might
break, truth was told which has stood
the test of ages.
