GOVERNOR sHAM,s REPLY.

That was dignified rebulse that
Governor Shaw administered to. Fred
White at Davenport Monday evening.
White had, in his, Davenport speech,
made a boorish personal attack on the
governor. Mr.. Shaw did not reply in
kind, but in quiet and gentlemanly
way called attention to the facts that
the ethical character of campaigns has
undergone a change during the last
quarter of century. personal abuse
has ceased to be regarded with favor,
and courteous argument has taken its
place. Governor Shaw concluded:
'sThe time is not far distant when
men of sufficient personal standing to
receive the endorsement of a great po-
litical party will be exceedingly care
fulsto say nothing and do nothing un-
becoming a gentleman, and when po-
litical campaigns, like cases tried in
court, will be heard upon the high
plane of merit
These are utterances OF man of in
telligence and refinement.

MR.. PEYToN,s Odd VIEWS.

The views of Army Secretary Pey-
ton of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew,
who has just returned from a stay of
six months in the Philippines, are Ger
tatnly very odd. He declares that the
United States has $4,000 "drunkards,
rakes and gamblers" in and around
Manila, and religious progress is quite
out of the question while American SOL
diers are there. He says the Roman
Catholic priests have made up with
the Tagalos, and are losing no time
and sapring no money to tell the Fill
pinos that the Americans now in Ma
Mia, who have made that city what
Mr.. Peyton calls shell hole" are fair
specimens OF Protestant civilization.
1t is astounding that it has remained
for Mr.. Peyton to discover that Ameri-
can soldiers are .druukards, rakes, and
gamblers" That is not the reputation
they have at home, nor is it recorded
in history that they have ever had such
asstigma placed upon them. During
Mr.. Peyton's stay in Manila the SOL
diers in the islands were most of them
members of the volunteer regiments.
Ottumwa semi-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1899-1903, 1899-10-10

These regiments, it will be remembered
distinctly by many, were made up OF
boys from the very best families in the
country. The soldiers who filled them
were gentlemen born and bred, and we
shall be slow TO believe that as.few
months in the Philippines changed
them into "drunkards, rakes and gam
blers." 1t takes a long course. of train
ing to make good boy, but there is
consolation in the thought that good
boy does not easily forget his train
ing.
Mr.. Peyton may be sincere in his
statements, but he will find only deaf
ears for them in this country. Wee can
not help thinking that he, though per-
haps unconsciously, exaggerates..
Where many men are congregated to-
gether there will always be drunken
ness and gambling. So it is with the
army. Mr.. Peyton must have been so
filed with horror at the actions of the
omnipresent ssblack sheep" that he
'miscounted the cases of drunkenness
and gambling.

DEATH OF JAMES HARLAN.

1I d 1 - Z . H4s
Because Senator James Harlan had
SO well identified himself with the mid
die west, and was SO thoroughly per-
sonifcation of western ability, his
death is great loss to this portion of
tho country. 94s
James Harlan was typical Ameri-
can. BIC made himself. All the hon
ors that his fellow citizens of the state
and nation bestowed upon him were
honestly earned by his own efforts. He
educated himself, he supported him
self, and when the opportunity for
fame arrived, he made himself equal to
the task of grasping it.
His success in public life can be at
tributed directly to the habits of self
control and conscientious effort form
ed in his. youth. There have been men
who have had harder rows to hoe than
James Harlan had, there have been
many who rose higher on the ladder
of fame. but no man has more con-
sistently done his best, or attained a
more uniform degree of success
throughout life than this grand old
Iowan, who has just died.
He shares with the famous war gov
ernor, Kirlwood, the honor of being
1owa's greatest man. The state has,
perhaps, had few great men, but those
it has. produced have been truly great.
And that, in this day of .tinseled fame
and gilded greatness, is something to
be thankful for.

Muscatine, Oct. 6.-Charles Narvis,
who has charge of the wholesale de-
partment of George w. Dillaway's
crockery store, fell down the elevator
shaft four stories Wednesday afternoon
into the basement, where he struck on
some heavy woodwork. He suffered a
dislocation Of the right shoulder and
severe bruises, and is thought to be in
jured internally. The elevator was be-
ing repaired, and it is believed he for
got the fact, or thought it was again
in shape, for he started down with "a
large load, when one side gave way,
precipitating him and the crockery to
the basement. The latest reports say
he is suffering intense pain. Mr.. Mar
Wis is brother of Will M. Naryis, grand

To Tighten OTIS, Labor.

Marshalltown Times Republican
By the time that the reinforcements
for Gen. Otis have arrived at Manila
he will be able to turn over large
part of the endless details that have
taken so much of his time to the able
assistants who will leave for Manila in
a few days. Brig. Gen. Schwan has
been assigned as chief of staff for the
department. and principal assistant to
the military governor, and five addi-
tional assistant adjutants general have
also been sent to the islands in accord
ance with Gen. Otis request. These
assistants will be able to relieve him
of the burdensome routine of his office,
and enable him to devote his attention
to the larger problems of administra-
ton and of military strategy. Gen. Otis
has been advised in diplomatic way
that the department expects him to
place reliance upon these assistants
and leave to them the detail work
which he has hitherto insisted on look
ing after himself. The confidence of
the administration in Gen. Otis appears
to be in no wise diminished.

AN ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION.

Carnival night at the Ottumwa street
fair was a wild delirium of lawlessness,
drunken carousals and boisterous rev.
elry. Women were insulted, their
clothes torn in pieces, and they were
maltreated in almost every imaginable
form. The Ottumwa papers picture
the scene as most disgraceful one.
One of them says: Surely no such wild
and boisterous reyelry ever occurred
in that unknown and mysterious place
called Hades. 1t finally became so
rough that the better element made
their escape and BY 1890 O'Clock she-e
was very little of the better class OF
people left on the streets Such a
scene Isl truly a disgrace to, a civilized

mower be involved in dispute, they
agree to call in the mediation of other
powers" and Neutral signatories bind
themselves to intervene for the purpose
of Cancellation" In the Venezuelan
case we should have been bound to of
fer our mediation-but so would Rus
STA, France, Turkey and all the others
that had signed. In so far as the Mon
roe doctrine is conceived OF as making
us the paramount power on the
western hemisphere, it would be gone.
Moreover, the convention provides
for an international commission of in
quiry to ascertain disputed facts when
diplomacy has failed. Before the Span
ish war Mr.. Mckinley received at the
White House representatives of the six
principal European powers in body,
a thing that had not been done before,
and that was almost tantamount to a
recognition of the European concerts
ri~ht to NEEDLE in American affairs.
No such right exists, but the powers
would like to have it, and had the con-
vention been in effect at that time they
would have had it. The international
commission of inquiry might still be
at work in the interests of Spain, and
the Cuban trouble might still be with
us, complicated by. the added danger
of an European war. There wouldn't
be much left of the modernized Monroe
doctrine.
These things are worth thinking
about before the senate is allowed to
ratify the convention of The Hague.
Mr.. Johnston does not condemn the
oonyap fiop heoorco II seeks IN nrOvida
for arbitration, but because it embraces
SO much beside. 1t is the surplusage
that seems to threaten the most valua-
BILE and cherished feature of our foreign
policy. The doctrine of Monroe is too
valuable a thing to be given away in
exchange for pretty sentiment.

SHAW DRAWS CROWD.
Enthusiastically Greeted by an Im-

MAoubO n uuhcuCo ~ khASV0TOcns f
Hawarden, Oct. 6.-Goyernor Leslie
NJ. Shaw spoke in this city last night
to an audience of 1000 people. Great
preparations had been made for his re-
ception, and long before the hour for
the address had arrived, the streets
were thronged with people. Large del
egations were present from every town
within radius of twenty-five miles.
The governor arrived on the p. m.
train, having addressed large audi
ence at Sioux Rapids yesterday after
noon, and was met by large delega-
ton, and after supper was escorted to
the big tent, where he held the large
audience for two hours. There was q
fine display of fireworks and an cleo
trical illumination all along Main
street during the march to the tent.
1t was by far the most enthusiastic
and successful political gathering ever
held in western Iowa, and il it can be
taken as criterion, Governor Shaw
will be elected by a larger majority
than has been accounted any candidate
in this state for years. His speech was
decidedly vote-getter, and his argu-
ments are unanswerable.
