II the Bible had given Us all the

him a man after Gods own heart.

ed him a fool. So with Judge Rob

him say time and again, Il wish

pleasure of meeting the Judge whom

thing.
While Judge Robinson was on our
circuit he suffered considerably with
his stomach and sore mouth and
at times was irritable. Any one
who cared to observe could see that
he did all in his power TO control
himself. The least noise sometimes
would almost make him jump out of
his chair. Who could avoid being
irritable under such circumstances
But let it be said that he was nc
more so than another Judge who
once rode the circuit and about whom
there has been bit little comment
When Judge Robins on was anything

beginning of the Christian era. De-

privilege of having two full moons,

occurred in any December IN l,e9U

THE OPINION OF A DEMOCRAT.
New York WORLDLY


In our present state it is condition
that confronts us and not theory"
and what are the facts? Under the
present administration the wishes of a
large number of Democrats on local
patronage and in many cases an over
whelming majority, have been entirely
ignored. Large amounts of money
have been borrowed i'm time of peace.
A deficiency in the revenue has arisen
(but, all honor to The World, it has
time and again advocated remedy,)
but as it would touch the tender hearts
which are located in the pockets of the
rich syndicates, no such legislation can
be accomplished. For political effect
the Monroe doctrine in regard to
Venezuela with which we have no
more to do than the man in the moon)
has been hurled at the civilized world
in tones of thunder, brag and bum
combe, while to poor, suffering and
bleeding Cuba the cold shoulder is
turned.
The farmers of the country have
nothing whatever to sell that will bring
the cost of production, and in some
cases not One-half Under the fore
going conditions is it surprising that
the people should want change? We
already have gold standard and can
change make it any worse? The
sentiments of three-fourths of the
States of this Union are that the East
for a generation has controlled the
nomination for President and the
money of the country. That it is in
favor of laws beneficial to itself alone
and the balance of the country has
meekly acquiesced for 40 these many
years." Is it strange that we of the
West should rise in our might and de-
mand what we consider our natural
and political rights and it is not
strange that the big guns of the East
must sulk in their tents because we
once in a lifetime want to name and
elect the next President? Suppose the
free coinage of silver should do more
harm than good. Who would be the
sufferers? Certainly not those who are
the leaders of the gold-standard craze
who count their wealth by millions,
who own and ride in palace cars, mag
nificent pleasure yachts, and spend
thousands upon thousands every sum-
mer in Europe. But the actual suffer
ers, if any, would be those in modAsyes
circumstances The farmers VINO work
sixteen hours aday to support their
families, pay their taxes and interest:
the mechanics and laborers generally,
and yet these are the men all over this
country who are nearly unanimous for
the free coinage of silver.

THE DEATH ROLL.
GEORGE DAUBNEY.

George Daubney was born in Janu-
ary, 1894, in Lincolnshire, Eng, and
died at his home in West Decorah last
Tuesday evening, at the age of 72
years, months and 26 days. When
two years of age he was brought by his
parents to America, and lived for few
years in Vermont. They located in
Kalamazoo County, Michigan, where
his marriage to Miss Charlotte Kim
ball, who survives him, occurred. de
moved to Iowa in 1854, settling i'm
Pleasant tOwship; after few years of
farm life he moved to West Decorah,
where he lived until his death, which
resulted from complication of all
ments, probably the outcome of rheu-
matism, from which he has suffered
almost all his life.
Mr.. Daubney was much esteemed by
the many who knew him for his in
tegrity and positiveness:of character,
and will be deeply mourned by all.
Funeral services were held from the
house Thursday afternoon at 230
o'clock, Rev. A. G. Wilson officiating.

The G. A. K. Encampmeut.

1t is estimated that not less than
100000 strangers visited st. Paul last
week to witness the annual G. A. r.
encampment held in that city; and it
is to the credit of the railroads that they
handled the vast throngs with won
derful facility, acquired only by being
called on to meet the necessities of these
oft recurring great gatherings. st.
Paul also was quite equal to the occa-
sion, having made ample provision for
the crowds. We have heard only
words of praise for those having charge
of affairs. The parade was magnifi-
cient spectacle, viewed by hundreds of
thousands of people, who were delight
ed with it. Shouts for Mckinley
were constantly ringing out all along
the line, and it was very evident who
was the choice of the old soldiers.
The living flag composed of 1000 child
rem was the chief fec ture of the march; I;
it represented "old glory" alive and
was cheered by the passing veterans to
the echo. Iowa had 1000 to 1900 men
in line and was warmly greeted by
the spectators as she filed past the
sight seers.
General Clarkson of Omaha was
chosen Commander in Chief for the
ensuing year. There is scarcely any
doubt that Judge Given, of Iowa,
would have been elected had he not
refused it, feeling that such an election
would hinder the fulfillment of the
duties of his present position.
