THE IOWA DEMOCRACY

The democratic party OF Iowa goes
into the campaign handicapped in one
vital respect. It's principal candidates
are renegade republicans, who only a
few years ago were active advocates of
the policy and principles of the party
they now antagonize. 1t is an ex-
tremely unsafe thing for political
party to make leaders out of former OPP
ponents, as the history of politics abun-
dainty shows. The democratic party
never made a graver mistake than
when it placed itself under the leader
ship of Horace Greeley. The democ-
racy Of Illinois has gained nothing
from the leadershipof General Palmer,
and there are numerous other instances
OF that party weakening itself by en-
trusting its cause to former foes. I'M
doubtedly the result in Iowa will add
another example, but the party appears
to have done the best it could under the
circumstances, no available democrat
who has always acted with the party
having coveted the empty honor of a
gubernatorial nomination. The can

Telegram to The BEE. Mathew Corbett
and John Locke are neighbors. Each has a
boy about six years old. The boys occasion
ally fight and the parents have also indulged
in the amusement at times. Some time ago
Locke found Corbett's father-In-law beating
his boy and had him arrested and fined So.
Then the Corbett crowd swore vengeance
against Locke, ana not being able to make
any charge against him they got the grand
jurymen of the county to have
little Charley, six years old, arrested as an
incorrigble. The case was tried before JUS
tce of the Peace Knapp, who was close
friend of Corbett, and after hearing the
evidence as to the incorrigibility of the six
yearod, sentenced him TO fifteen years in
the reform school.
The boy was allowed TO go home on bail,
and an appeal was taken to the court of com-
mon pleas. The people of the town are
aroused and threaten to tar and feather the
Corbett crowd. The feeling is so strong that
the boy will certainly not go to Jail.

Charley Mccarthy and His Gum.

Charley Mccarthy. the bantam
weight champion OF America, is a
fighter. As rule, he fights with a
big lump of chewing gum in his
mouth, and this practice has caused
a good deal of fun to be poked at
him by fellows who think they know
it all. The other night he told his
reason for this habit. He said:
Il generally put a double dose of
gum in my mouth when ] begin to
prepare for the ring, and by the time
| am called on to fight / have it
pretty well masticated. When in
action / keep my eyes fixed on nv
opponent, and if see that he is
about to land, say on my left Jaw. I
quickly work the gum between my
teeth and that side of my face. and
it forms a cushion that serves TO
greatly break the force OF the blew.

is the son of Charles Hummel, an ex-
pert telegraph operator at Peskiomen
junction. The past few years he has
been quietly perfecting the little fellow
in the art and to-day he brought the
boy to Reading to show what ne could

chair was too low for him, SO he stood
at one of the tables containing the in
strument of one of the heaviest wires
