DEN1soN, IOWA, OCTOBER 10, 1899.
Anent Mr.. Healey.

The REVIEW announced that Hon.
M. F. Healy would speak in Denison.
Its authority was what it considered
the best possible. Mr.. Healey has de-
cided not to enter the camgaign and
the date is cancelled. Mr.. Healey is
the man who openly denounced demo-
cracy last year and who resigned his
position as committeeman of the 10th
District, a place now filled by Boss
Romans.
Mr.. Healey, unlike some men who
left their party, does not aspire to push
himself to the front, and we must say
that we admire him all the more for his
modesty. He writes the REVIEW that
he will not take part in the campaign.
His heart is with us but he does not
yet wish to proclaim himself a leader
of Iepublicanism. The Gary-Romans-
Burch outfit who have assumed control
of the democratic party in Crawford
county as soon as they left republican
ism, might learn from Mr.. Healey a
lesson of becoming modesty. We re.
greet Mr.. Healey's decision as many
would have liked 20 have heard the
brilliant orator who could not stand the
un-Americanism of democracy.

Unanswered Questions.

just as we said the Bulletin does not
answer a single one of the REVIEWS
questions, nc other democrat steps in
to answer them. We repulish the ques
ton and here are some more:
Does the treaty with Spain make
any guarantees as to rights to be given
Spanish commerce for the next ten
years?
Does the treaty make the United
States responsible for the property
rights and safety of foreigners residing
in the Philippines?
What democratic senator's voted to
ratify THAT treaty? a
Is W. j. Bryan denouncing that
treaty today?
Did not W. j. Bryan make a special
trip to Washington to urge democratic
senators to vote for the treaty the
terms of which he is now denouncingi
If any other man should do such 3
thing would you not call him a dema,

The following are the unanswered
questions as published last week:
Did or did not the Iowa democratic
convention of 1893 endorse and reafirm
the national democratic platform OF
1896?
Did or did not the national demo-
cratic platform of 1895 contain the
paragraphs as above printed?

Have or have we not monometallism

Would OF would not a democratic
victory resulting in democratic nation

Why Is the republication of a por-
ton of your W national platform of
1896 as reafirmed by your own state
convention of 1899, distasteful to you?
What portion of Mr.. Blume's record
do you point to with pride?
How many motions did Mr.. Blume
make in the legislature? What were
they?
Was a petition of 300 names headed
by j. B. Romans presented to Mr..

and Jane. Everybody In the vii
lage knew them; they had many
friends: yet all agreed with wonderful
unanimity that they were two of the
strangest individuals ever seen.
Jimmy-his full name was James
Bradford-was bachelor of about 80
years, reputed to have a stocking full
of gold and silver coins. which he kept
in his feather bed. He was noted
hater Of women and seldom spoke to
one.
Jane-or more properly Miss Jane
Green-was called an old maid. lived In
a tiny house by herself. and had holy
horror of the biped man. Her age was
uncertain" but her 10th birthday was
of the past.
Jimmy took life easily, but was OPP
posed to ostentatlon and the modern
acceptance OF the term luxury"
He dressed without regard TO fash
Ion, but within the bounds of respect
ability. He even rode out In his own
carriage, but 1t was by no means
modern vehicle; It had done service, ne
would proudly tell you. since his grand
fathers days. quite a century ago.
He cared little for books: society he
abomlnated. because 1t was spoiled by
admitting women, and of the few di-
versions that went to make up the sum
of his life's pleasures, fishing held the
place of prominence.
Even In the pursuit of this gratifica-
ton Jimmy was not free from harass-
ment, for he was obliged to pass by
the door of a cottage occupied by a
woman In order to reach the river. The
woman was no other than Jane.
One bright afternoon In September
Jimmy was lounging along the river
bank when the splash of oars In mid
stream fell upon his ears. He looked
In the direction of the sounds, and then
a scowl wrinkled his forehead.
"Humphr' he muttered, that old
maid Jane Green is trying to row over
to Ned Browns. She'd better be home
drinking tea. Most likely she'll man
age to get drowned. What a fuss she
makes. splashin' an fiappln' about"
He pulled up his line with an angry
jerk, put a fresh worm on the hook
and then cast out the line again, with
an outlay Of strength quite unneces-
sary, unless to give vent to his indig-
nation.
The "splashin' an happin' about" in
stead of dying away In the distance as
the boat reached the other side of the
river, grew louder and more disturb
ing. and, half in wonder, half anger,
Jimmy looked around again.
"Drat the luckg' he cried. "If she
amt gone and rowed right smack inter
that eddy-the only one within two
miles at that. If that amt jest like a
fool woman I'd like to know what It's
like"
Just then his attention was attracted
TO his line. and James peril was for a
moment forgotten.
A forcible reminder came In the form
OF loud. piercing scream. followed by
a frightened appeal for help.
"There. jest as might ha' been ex-
pectedl The first bite I've had for an

In woman had such grit. You're too

Despite James gurgled protests he
hurriedly hauled In the rope, formed a
slipnoOse at one end, and hurled 1t over
the halfdrowned woman's shoulders.
Then he exerted his strength In a Wig
Orous pull, which Jane resisted with
all her waning powers, and succeeded
In lifting her into the boat.
"Oh, deari" she gasped. "And TO
think that l should owe my life to
Jimmy Bradford" and then, too much
exhausted to bear up any longer, she
closed her eyes and tainted away.

He drew the boat up on the sloping
shore and after carrying Miss Jane to

her to consciousness. When she open

gaze was Jimmy's face.
