some of the Mugwump newspa pers
are having a trying time with the
Presidents position in the Stone case.
One of the keenest sufferers is the
New York EUening Post, which seems
to have been considerably dazed BY
the matter. 1t sees what everybody "
else plainly enough understands, that
there is comfort for the spoilsmen in
the Presidents declaration that an
once holder may make Democratic
speeches, but none shall be allowed 10
make Republican speeches. The Mug.
"ump heart is torn with grief because
"the Presidents letter will furnish the
next Republican President with full
Justification for making clean sweep
OF every ofice.hOlder who has ever
made a speech iu public on the Dem.
Ocrstic side" The Mugwumps have
evidently badly burned their finger,
in getting the Democratic chestnuts
out Of the fre.-PhiIa. Press.

CONGRESS meets again next Monday.

PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's action in
reinstating Benton and refusing to re.
instate Stone shows conclusively whose
OK is gored. His letter to Garland,
regarding Stone, stripped of all YER.
biage, is simply statement that he
allowed Stone to keep the job upon
consideration that be would keep bis
mouth shut. But the same condition
did not apply to Benton. BRzzdrd.

Liabilities of Dog Owners.

A savage dog is possession which
demands from it's owner extraordinary
care. Knowing, or being in law pre-
sumed to know, the dangerous nature
of the property he has in charge, the
owner will be held liable for all damage,
direct or indirect, which may be caused
by such property. 1t has. however,
been held that the fact that a dog is
known to be savage, and that it has at
tackled animals, is not enough to make
its owner liable to man who is bitten
by it, unless he can show that such
owner had knowledge of the dogs pro-
pensity to bite men. A ferocious dog,
accustomed to bite mankind, is a
nuisance; and, if found at large, may
be killed by any one. But he must not
be killed on his owners premises, un-
less about to attack some one. A dog
not naturally savage will sometimes
bite. and in such cases his owner 8
liability will depend on the facts of the
case. If the dog, Ito gain some pri-
vate ends,' has chosen to bite an unof-
Tending man or beast, his owner must
pay for it; but if person will not "let
a sleeping dog lic," or otherwise leases
or provokes the animal and is bitten
therefor, the dogs owner may invoke
the doctrine of contributory negligence.
A well-trained and good-natured dog
may cause injury to persons or prop
erty; should he do SO under direction OF
his master. the latter will of course be
responsible. american Agrtculturtst.

Progressive Undertake,s

Two rival undertaking houses OF
Indianola are engaged in quite COM
petition and are cutting prices" and
offering other inducements to funeral
parties at lively rate. One of them
publishes this squib in tho Aduocate-
Tribune:
Johnston & McGowan have made
prices on metallic caskets never before
known in the county. Now is the time
to buy.
The other house comes up smiling
with the following puff:
Walt Richey has just bought a new
hearse team, a pair of fine bays. They
are snowy animals, of good gait and
carriage, excellent travellers, yet quiet,
tractable and safe. A splendid team
of roadstcrs, and especially adapted te
an undertaker's business. Sam will
hold the lines over them with quiet
pride as he goes about on his solemn
mission. .-Des Moines Saturday Mail

So said the Windsor journal, at the
opening of the session. On what that
sagacious journal based its evident opin-
ion that it does not hurt mans chances
20 be favorably named by the FREE
PRESS we cannot say. But the FREE
PRESS did not go extensively INTO
representations of appointments, this
year. So far as we remember it has
mentioned in advance no appoint
meuts by the governor nor manned" any
officers in advance of their election by the
Legislature-with the exception of Speaker
Grout, the chairmen of few of the more
important committees, Senator Edmunds
Chief Justice Royce, Adjutant General
Peck, Quartermaster General Gilmore,
and perhaps one or two others. On the
other hand, however, it is true, we be
lieve, that the FREE PRESS has favored no
one that was not elected nor one whose
election was not cordially approved by the
public, though some OF them have per
haps not been quite satisfactory to the
Windsor Journal.

a year ago public curiosity was strong
ly stirred in Massachusetts, and elsewhere
by some strange facts which We're de.
velopcd in suit at law. 1t was a suit for
100000 brought by a disreputable man,
known as Doc Wilson, against Mr.
Philip l.. Moen. The latter is the lead
ing partner in the great wire manufac-
turing concern of Worcester, Mass, a
millionaire in means, a deacon in a Con-
gregational church, and standing high in
the community. Wilson sued Moeu for
the large sum named, which as he claimed
and tried to prove, Moen had promised
him but failed to pay. II turned ont that
Moen had already paid Wilson in the
seven years previous some S250,0oO for no
apparent consideration. Moen admitted
the payment of the money TO Wilson, IN
sums of from 500 to $4,000, Wilson adj
mittrd receiving il, and swore that Noen
had promised him 100000 more. Neither
would say why the money was plu.
Moen's statement was that Wilson leased
and persuaded him into paying the mon
ey Wilson's statement was that Mueu
paid him because he chose SO to do. No
better explanation was given ana white It
was evident that some remarkable secret
existed between the two men, II was not
disclosed. 1t still remains in large part q
mystery but in the new trial of the case
now in progress, nearer approach to a
revelation of the bottom secret was made.
Mr.. Moons lawyer said in opening the
case
1--WE base the defense to this case on
blackmail, pure and simple, but success
fully carried out until the victim refused
to go any further. In November, 1919
Mr.. Moen met IA stripping, stranger IL

The PdU Man GUzcttC seems to have
changed its field of social Investigations
to distressed Ireland and finds that the
losses of Irish farmers during the years
1850 ST, exclusive of those of hay and pc
tatoes, will amount to El3,5OO,O 600, and not
only is it impossible for them to pay the
rent for two years, but that even the pay
ment of one years rent would wipe out
two years income, in view of the present
greatly reduced prices of agricultural pro
ducts From these facts Mr.. Stead's paper
concludes that the plea for the abatement
of rent is founded on justice, and that,
while the demand for home rule will not
be abated, the agitation for rent reduction
Is of greater immediate moment.
