a conqueror whose hands were never
stained br- cruelty, prince never cast
down by adversely, and never lifted up
to insolence in the day Of triumph"
Nearly all British historians unite in
calling him "the wisest, best and great
est of England's kings" Moreover he
was the first of princes who was rec
ognized as king of all England, and
that fact alone would give him dis
tinctive place in history.
But he has greater Gains to dis
tinction than even these would confer.
He was the founder of the British navy,
established the first schools ever seen
in the kingdom, made reforms in the
administration of justice, and put Eng
land abreast of the most advanced ma
tons OF that day. 1t is as an apostle
of political liberty, however, that he
viii be honored chiefly by the world.
In this respect he has an intellectual
kinship with Simon de Monfort, of sew
eral centuries later, the father of the
British parliament, which was the pro-
genitor of all the worlds legislative ar
semblies; with Jefferson, Gladstone and
Lincoln. The germ Of the representa-
tive institutions which, in great or
small degree, nearly every civilized ma
ton OF the world now has, was found
in his administration of the govern
ment OF England. Alfred the Great
has reflected more lustre on England
than have all the warriors from Rich
ard of the Lion Heart down to Wolsel-
ey and Kitchener.

POLITICS AND RELIGION.

The Kansas City Star says that cor
respondent wishes it to call the atten-
ton of Missouri Christians to the Uni
ted Christian party, which has recent
ly sprung up in Iowa. The corre-
spondent suggests to the Star the pro-
priety of urging the organization of a
similar party in Missouri. The Star
replied to its correspondent that there
are two parties which can never be a
success in this country. One is the
United Christian party and the other
is the United Christian party.
The Star is right. Religion can never
be made the basis of political party
in the United States, or, indeed, among
any Anglo-Saxon nation. The religious
belief of people of our temperament is
too sacred a thing to be dragged into
public view. We cannot bear the idea
of having the principles of our faith
discussed by the average campaign or
ator, or expounded on the political
stump.
The objections to political party,
based upon a non-belief in Christiani-
ty, are equally fundamental. Anglo.
Saxon people are at bottom thoroughly
religious, and cannot tolerate atheism

atheist that ever lived, could get 1u,

WARNED AGAINST SMALLPOX.
Des Mo,nes Police LEARN That It MAY
be Coming to That CITY.

Des Atoines, Oct. 17.-Chief johnson
of the police force is in receipt of a
letter from Chief Henry Williams, of
Ottumwa, warning the authorities to
be on the lookout for family suppos-
ed to be headed for Des Moines in q
wagon, the members of which are sup
posed to have been recently exposed
to the smallpox. A young man who
had been travelling with them rode into
Ottumwa on a bicycle several days ago,
having come on from Fairfield, where
he had been employed on the grading
line OF the Burlington. Upon his ar
iriealx at Ottumwa he called upon a
physician for treatment The doctor
sus-ected that his malady was small
'pox and he was isolated at the pest
house for safety. The family with
which he had been travelling passed
north of Ottumwa, and was understood
TO be moving toward this city. The
police iandshealth authorities will take
measures to protect the community
against the possibility of contagion
should the family approach the city.

Marshalltown Times Republican: The
reunion of eX-confederate and union
veterans at Evansville gives further
proof that the animosities of the civil
war are fast passing away. The war
with Spain and the wise action OF
President Mckinley in appointing and
commissioning southern generals and
other officers as well as those from the
north for that conflict, did more than
all other agencies 10 reunite the bro
ken ties between the two sections
This is widely acknowledged now
At the Evansville reunion this week,
President Mckinley was an honored
quest and in brief address to the old
warriors of '61-5 he said: "If l have
been permitted in the slightest degree
to help in the work of reconciliation
and unifcation shall hold it the great
est honor of my life" Without doubt
he meant all that he said, for as sol
der on the union side he was conscious
of what at that time and for many
years following the civil war was
thought to be undying sectionalism
and hostility. The hurried and mo.
mentons events of his brief administra.
ton, which he has guided with con
spicuous wisdom. have given him nc
greater opportunity for distinction
than the magnanimity he has displayed
toward the south.

NO REDUCTION.

The saloon keepers have come to the
front again with their regular demand
on the city council for reduction in
the saloon license. This time the sa-
loon keepers themselves are masked be-
hind a petition emanating from the
Trades Assembly of Ottumwa, and
which is signed by officials of thirteen
different unions in the city. This Pc
tition is published in full elsewhere in
this issue, and it will be read and not
ed with establishment and deep regret
by good citizens. That labor organi-
zations, as such, should permit their
great influence to be thrown in favor
of such a movement is to be deeply re-
GREETED. We learn from City Treasurer
Stevens that Ottumwa has today TWEEN
ty-eight licensed saloons, enough to
supply every possible demand for in
toxicating liquors. Certainly no one
who desires intoxicants, goes dry in
this city; nor does he have to go far
out of his way to get what he wants.
The saloon is prominently located on
every street In the business center, with
several in the outlying districts. These
saloons pay license of $500, realiz-
ing an annual revenue of $50, 400 to the
city and county. If the petition pre-
sented by the labor organizations
should be granted, Ottumwa must
have forty-two saloons to realize the
same revenue. What would this mean
1t would mean not only more saloons
in the business center, but it would
mean many corner GROCERIES in the su.
burbs, the evil influences of which can
not be over-estimated. Saloons in the
business center can be brought under
reasonable control by constant officia
surveillance and the pressure of public
opinion. Not SO with the doggery anc

The proposition made in the petition

MONEY BEFORE HONOR.

During recent years, in fact ever
since William Jennings Bryan was dis
covered and hailed as the coming
Moses, the democratic party has been
conccitedly prattling of honor, and
Righteousness, and Jetfersonian princi-
pies. Its orators and editors have re-
ferred feelingly TO the acts and deeds
OF Jefferson, Jackson and Douglass.
They have declared in trumpet tones
from the mountain tops that in the
hoy orator of the Platte was to be
found the personifcation of all the
high and worthy principles OF all their
former great men.
And now comes the heart-rending
news that MIR. Bryan prefers money
above honor. Before the rising sun OF
his greatness shone upon the Chicago
convention, while he was still an un.
known, struggling young lawyer, -four
shinp in obscurity along the banks of
his native river, Mr.. Bryan wrote let
ter. 1t was addressed to Hon. j. Ster-
ling Morton, through whose friendly
influence Mr.. Bryan had received the
appointment as secretary of the Ne
braska state board of transportation,
and in it he said: 81 assure it is
the money that is in the Office, not the
honor that attracts me-" The sordid
feeling which prompted the writing of
that sentence has cropped out in not a
few instances of late. To be invited as
the principal oraor in some OF the great
popular anniversaries, where Mr.. Bry-
an has appeared, is in itself such honor
as should permit no declination, but
Mr.. Bryan, it is declared without denial,
has repeatedly refused such invitations,
unless he should be paid large price
for his services. The only condition
on which he would speak at Canton,
ILL.,, few days ago, is said to have
been the payment of $500 cash in hand
before the address.
Such was not the way with the
statesmen of the democratic party Of
yore, when that party really had prin-
ciples to advance and when its leaders
gladly gave time and strength to their
advancement without thought OF other
recompense than honor" It their
travelling expenses were paid by the
committees inviting them, they scorned
all thought of more. The thought OF
Stephen A. Douglas or Alexander H.
Stephens or Samuel j. Tilden, for in
stance, huckstering his oratory to as
semblages of his party adherents, is one
SO sacriligious that it would never oc-
cur even to the sturdiest of the surviv-
| ing opponents of those great leaders.
But perhaps Bryan is wiser than they
in thus making friends with "the NAM
mon of unrighteousness."

Board OF Health Proceedings.
From tuesdays Daily.

from tuesdays Dally.
At the last regular meeting of the
board of health, Monday evening of last
week, adjournment was taken until
Monday evening of this week, for the
purpose of hearing further report OF
the case OF reported smallpox. DR..
Herrick stated last evening that tho
patient who is now in charge of the
city had developed a genuine case of
smallpox, and that he is very sick
man. Everything has been done that
is possible to prevent q spread of the
disease, and little fear is entertained
from this source. The patient, he said.
is getting along nicely, although he is
sall very sick.
The board, after hearing the report
OF DR.. Herrick, then took up the ques-
ton Of vaccination, which has already
been ordered by the school board, and
which has progressed to q considerable
extent. The school board has issued q
circular to every pupil in the city
schools, containing copy of the state
law on this subject, and blank space
for the signature of the physician who
vaccinates or determines by examine
ton that said pupil by virtue Of previ-
GUS vaccination is safe from infection
from disease. After next Monday no
pupil will be admitted TO school unless
he bears one of the above certificates
properly signed. The question OF pro-
viding for the vaccination of such chill
dren whose parents are not able fran
cially to defray the expense, and also
the question as to the best method of
arriving at just determination as to
who is entitled to this aid, was defer
red until a special meeting OF tho
board of health which will be held
Thursday evening.

A traveller from the prairie states,
passing through Pennsylvania, would
be inclined to think that the land not
in actual cultivation was profitable for
timber, yet the state maintains for
estry commissioner who has plans for
forest reservations involving an expen-
diture of 100000. While forest lands
for the purpose may be bought for 81
an acre, the governor is doubtful if
the money can be appropriated, as the
state treasury is three million dollars
behind already. That Pennsylvania is
interested in forestry should be an in
centive to the prairie states with for
ests to create. Pennsylvania once had
forests and wasted them. The new
states have before them the making OF
forests and saving them afterwards.
