THE CHARGES AGAINST JACKSON

THE cha GES AGAINST JACKSON
The story of Frank Jackson's disbar-
ment from practlcing before the pension
bureau is not very long nor complicated,
in spite of all the long editorials in the
democratic press. In 1S79-four-
teen years ago-he was employed
by man named Ellis to secure pen
sion claim. The case was an old one
then. had been twice considered and
rejected. but through Jackson's efforts
a rehearing was ordered. and Ellis was
cited to appear before an examining
board of surgeons at Dubuque. while
Ellis lived in Des Moines. jackson
secured him pass to Dubuque, adj
vanced him money. paid his expenses,
worked on the ease for long time,
and finally suggested that the speediest
way would be to make a trip to Wash
ington. but it would be expensive. and
asked Ellis if he was willing to donate
500 or $500 TO the trip and meet
whatever expenses were necessary to
! secure favorable action Ellis did not
| answer promptly. but Jackson finally
went to Washington. aud while there
| succeeded in getting Ellis on the pen
! sion roll and an allowance of 81 900
back pension. Then Ellis went back
on him and would not pay him for the
| 5 rvices. jackson wrote him and
! threatened to have the pension dropped,
and speaking of his influence with a
! clerk in the department, through whom
! it could be brought about Ellis sent
! all the correspondence to the depart
ment. and it resulted in IaclIson's dis
barment Afterwards the facts of the
case We're laid before the department,
| and he was restored.
The charges are not at all new. for
they We're used against jackson when
he was candidate for secretary of
state. and repeated afterwards when
again a candidate They never had
the slightest influence, and their re-
petition will not now. because they are
only inspired by political scavengerS.
The letter containing the threats was
mistake. jackson acknowledges it,
but remember the circumstances under
which it was written. lie had helped
his client in every way. had advanced
money to him. paid all the expenses of
hunting mp the testimony. and giving
more time to it than IA case involving
thousands of dollars would have re-
quired, and then to find out he was
likely to be defrauded out of his com
pensation by the man he had done SC
much for. In meanness the case is al
most without parallel, and it was
while feeling keenly the IN Justice of this
, treatment that he wrote the letter
which caused the whole trouble. The

Fl ON the Keokuk Gate City.l
A prohibitionist is presumably Ia
person who accounts moral motives a
rule of conduct in government: That is
he wants to do right and he thinks he
should keep to that motive rather than
be governed 10y one that is merely
political or eXpedient such as to make
the success of political party an end
in itself. But if he considers moral
ends he must consider them, not ignore
them. 1t is at once Il rule of morals
and a precept of the Christian religion,
that one must not bear false witness
against his neighbors. Yet the third
party prohibition candidate for COVER
nor and nearly every one who has
written or spoken in that cause do bear
false witness against the republicans
and people of localities like Keoluli
and Lee county. They are said to be
whiskyites and saloonists and drunk
ards and goddess and law-breakers and
in rebellion against law and all that
Two points arise here for those who

want the prohibitory law. They are
! ten minutes from Illinois where liquor
is selling lawful The people by con-
stantly increasing majority are turning
more and more against the law. They
will elect no official who disrcgards
! their wishes and enforces the law.
| They have that power and right under
the American system of government.
| Clergymen and churches and prohibit
| tionists are powerless before that
power and right of American citizens
and there is no sense in finding fault
with them and maligning them and
charging them with being whiskyites
and saloonites because they do not
change and cannot change the Amer
lean system of government established
everywhere from the settlement at
Plymouth onward For one we do not
think it ought to be changed. We are
very glad it cannot be. We think it
vastly better and more salutary to the
people than prohibition. We do not
attach any great value to prohibition
and we attach supreme value TO this
communal and local self government
which is the highest attribute of the
American government and the measure
of its perfection. That is our personal
view. What prohibitionists elsewhere
should consider is that prohibitionists
here and the clergymen and church
members here who are devoted to pro-
hibition and would gladly see it en-
forced and aid in enforcing it are pow
erless because of the elective form of
American municipal. township and
county government and the supreme
control by these over all the machinery
of the law as popular right and con-
stitutional power. These prohibition
lists elsewhere would be just as power
less if they were here.
What then shall be done? The pro-
hibition third party candidate for gov
ernor and many prohibitionists say:
You cannot enforce the prohibitory
law under the American form of gov
ernment. but it IS so sacred "a law of
the Modes and PcrsiansI it must and
shall stand unchanged, your commun-
ity shall be lawlcss rather than the
Legislature shall touch this prohibitory
law" In the American, in the English
system of government, where ever
there is constitutional govern
ment anywhere the first and SUI
preme dirty of the Legislature is to
make, repeal or amend laws i'll con-
formity with the desire of the people.
No law stands if the people donot want
it. Wherever the people express dis
content the lawmakers change the law
to remove that discomfort. There is no
test or standard or measure or duty or
practicableness in government and law
except what the people want
and what they do not want. The as
that this free American gov
eminent of the people has suddenly
been changed into "A theocracv, that
the prohibitionists are the agents of
the Almighty and have made this law
under the sanction of IA Thus saith
the Lord and that against it and over
it the people are not to have their
American law-making power is the as
of the third party prohibition
lists but it is an assumption that sub
verts the American government and
the people of Iowa and of the United
States should reject it utterly.

The Chinese Eat Horse Fiesh.

Beef, says writer on Chinese
customs, is much supplanted in the
celestial empire by horse flesh. The
poor eat horses that have done their
work and died, but for the rich a
special breed of horses are preserved,
whose function is to be fattened and
nothing else. The horses are tiny
of stature and possess but little
strength. Their inherited capacity
for waxing fat on the cheapest straw
and garbage is tribute to natural
selection and the genius OF Chinese
breeders
