A long time ago when Independence,
Montgomery county, was on the from
tier, it was a pretty hard town. Roughs
from the Indian Territory made it re-
sort and it was infested by hOOdlums
and outlaws representing nearly every
degree of vice and crime. Offenses
against property and person were OF al
most daily occurrence, and the offend
ers went unpublished. Prosecuting
witnesses were called to their doors III
the night and shot down without warn
ing. Prosecuting attorneys were way
laid and murdered; jurors were threat
ened, judges were bribec and the courts
became farce.
This condition of things existed until
it became unbearable to the more re-
spectacle people of the town, and d
meeting was one day called at the court
house to determine what to do. A
number of timid, half-hearted speeches
we're made, when Lyman u. HumDh'
rey, then a young, thin-faced attorney
arose aud said:
Gentlemen, AS much as l detest
mObOcracy or anI thing like 1t, the law
must be enforced, the courts respected
and the officers protected in the dis.
charge of their duty, and peace and
| safety given To life and property. IL
by no other means by the shot gun
l would try all other means i'll Oul
power first, but we must have law and
order, peace and safety to life ant
property, and l, for one, am ready Il
bring it about"
That settled the matter. There was
no dilly-dalIyiDg after that. There
was no tempOrizing and no comprOm
ising. The other men present caught
up the spiIit of courage and determine
! ton that spoke in the steady voice o
the young attorney. and the meeting
adopted measures that put an end Il
| the reign of terror in Independence.
This is the kind of a man Lyman u
Humphrey is. No loud threats. Onl!

ded, calm, resolute. A man worthy t.
be the candidate of party that doe

A FEW days ago we heard of an Oc-
currence that recently took place be-
tween w. II. Utley, the union labor
candidate for congress, and farmer.
The farmer asked the honorable gen
tleman why the price of cattle was SO
low, when he was instantly informed
that it was on account of the contrac-
ton of the currency and the wicked
financial policy inaugurated by the re-
publican party. Utley grew eloquent
in his denunciation of the party to
which he CLAIMS he was attached while
all this legislation was enacted, and I'M
til after the democratic party took con-
troll of the reins OF government. The
farmer then quietly asked him why the
price of hogs was so high, at the same
time saying that he had recently sold
some at exceedingly good figures. This
was sumner, and the congressional
aspirant, who a moment before was SO
ready to explain, remarked that he did
not have time to talk about the matter
now, being in hurry.-Girard Press.

WHEN it is remembered that PRESS
dent Cleveland has never under any
condition been known to hesitate for a
moment when called upon to sign bill
for the erection of a public building in
southern city, no matter how small
its size or how fast or slow its growth,
the following apology in an Iowa dem
ocratic paper must be extremely con-
soling to citizens of that state, and they
will doubtless tumble over one another
at Sioux City in their eagerness ovote
for a party run by man who shows
his sympathy for them in such a pru-
dent and fatherly consideration:
For the second time the president has
vetoed a bill providing for the erection
of a public building at Sioux City. His
reasons are that tho postoffice can get
along very well where it is for some
time longer, that the sessions of the
United States district court can be held
| in the county building, which is entire
~ adequate for the purpose, and that
| in the opinion of some who are inter
ested a $3.50, 900 building would not
suffice for the needs of the town in the
years to come, If the future of Sioux
City should realize the promises of the
present, q $50 600 building would be
too small for the requirements of the
| people, and it Is, therefore, well not Il
undertake the work till a better opin
ion of the proper sizeof the structure car
be formed. While the veto win proba

THE action of the union labor CON
vention in permitting the name of the
Anarchist Clemens to be placed before
it and entertaining it for the high and
responsible position of justice of the
supreme court of the state is of itself
sufficient to open the eyes Of the citi-
zen who has a care for the peace and
good order of the state and the safety
Of the lives and property of the citizens.
Those who composed and manipulated
the convention cannot remove the
stigma that attaches to them by the
incident; cannot dismiss it and excuse
themselves upon the plea that its nom
ination was not voted upon, because
the attempted defense of Clemens by a
speaker brought forth a round of ap
plause from the Wichita

OF all the consumate folly running
around loose the well-mouth statement
among democrats that the Mills bill re-
duces the average per cent of tariff from
AZ per cent to 40 per cent, a mere baga-
telle of seven per cent is the foolishest,
Wool is put on the free list; which
means that its duty is zero; rice, in
round numbers, under the Mills bill is
protected 100 per cent. Now what arith-
metical juggling this is, TO add 100 and
o together and divide by two, and then
hold up the result and say that the av-
erage per cent of tariff on wool and
rice is fifty percent; but this is just
what the average per cent Is.

As country gets old, according to

this country gets old the fact is that
wages rise; they are S8 Per cent high

were when the democratic policy

has been in spite of the most

The Sioux City Journal character
ICES as an error the statement OF the
Omaha Republican that General George
w. Jones Of Dubuque was removed
from the ONCE Of surveyor general OF
Iowa, to which he had three years pre-
yiously been appointed by Van Buren,,
by President Harrison. The removal,
the Journal says, was made by PEesl-
dent Tyler. It might be added that II
Harrison had not died SO soon after en-
ter1ng the White House, he would
probably have removed General Jones.
for as the latter was staunch demo
crat, it is unreasonable to suppose he
would have been permitted to hold a
lucrative Office under wing admins

The Sioux City Journal would dc
better, if, instead of apOlOgizing for the
act of President Tyler, it should laud
it as about the only thing he ever did
in accord with the wishes of his party.
Gen. Geo. w. Jones was always an ex,
treme democrat of the southern school
and one of the rankest rebels of the
north, who sent two of his sons south
to serve Jeff Davis. Both OF these
sons met old Iowa friends who were
prisoners of war to the rebels, and util
lied their power as rebel officers to per
secute their old neighbors, instead Of
treating them as men, as they them
selves were afterwards treated wheI
it fell to their lot to become prisoners
to Iowa federals. However, Genera
Jones, in his old age, don't seem to taxi
the thing to heart much himself, judg
ing by the fact that he now refuses u
vote for Cleveland. His reason, too
seems good and sufficient, even from
southern standpoint. He says: ''Mr
Cleveland is not a democrat, but ;
