THIHK SCOTT INSANE.
uthor1ties Really BE.
lieve Rev.-ecost IL Crazy.

u waterloo, oct. 2b.-An ofiicial from
Independence who was in Waterloo
yesterday brought the Information that
the Rev. George Scott. OF local notorie-i
ty, who 10 supposed 10 be in the insane
asylum there, has mot been an inmate.
OF that institutions for more than a year
snce now. and has NOT been for some.
time. II
The gentleman says 1t is generally.
understood at Independence that Scott
and his wife are living at Webster City
In a fine new home which Mrs. Scott
has built there and, which is said to
have cost her $500
ills also stated by our informant that
the general opinion Of people in Inde-
pendence who have become acquainted
with Scott, and especially those who
have lived as neighburs to the ex-l
preacher, Is that he is really OF unsaund
mind. Either this or. he constantly
feigned insanity while he was there.
when on the streets. They
say that the people OF Independence
have no special interest in believing
Scott insane. and they see no good he
could do by pretending, therefore they
conclude that his mind is really unbal-
anced now, even II 1t was not when he
was first committed.
The board OF control has had some
influence brought to bear upon it.
which has made 1t very lenient to
Scott. More than q year ago he was
given a sixty days leave of absence
from the asylum, on the recommenda-
ton Of Superintendent Hill. When the
sixty days had expired an additional
i1eave OF sixty days was granted, and
now the extensionsco comes in regular pc.
RODS Of thirty days each. In these
leaves OF absence Scott is liberated
from the asylum under the care of his
wife.
If the opinion Of the people OF indie
pendence is correctsas to the mans
sanity it is not likely that any OF the
cases filed against him in BlackhaWk
county will ever be brought to trial.

NC0u0 AZ iowa CITY.
Iowa City, Oct. 225 John r. Irish, i OF
California. spoke to q ma gnificent audi
ence OF $500 people under a huge tent
at the BURLINGTON depot Tuesday even.
Ing. and more elesant. poetical and
yet logical speech was never heard by
an Iowa City audince. Mr.. Irish lis
just closing sixty days Of laborions
campaigning against spopulisnl, greed,
and anarchy. He has aged greatly since
his last appearance In the city some!
four years ago, but his grand physique
Indicates that the eloquent Californian
Is in the very prime OF his life. He
spent all day Tuesday on the streets Of
the city and at the st. James Hotel,
hundreds OF old acquaintance and
ineighbors coming to greet the return
OF the old IoWan.
$ MIR. Irish In his speech took up the
question of anti-expansiOn. He showed
how the treaty Of Paris placed the flag
of the United States in the Philippines.
Mr.. Bryan advocated the adoption Of
the treaty by the senate. Senator
Jones, chairman of the democratic ma
tlonal committee, says that the treaty
put the constitution OF the United
States over the Philippines. The war
Of the rebellion decided that a country
once under the flag OF our country
could never be alienated. To carry out
the policy of Mr.. Bryan 1t is necessary
to dissolve The union. II the Philip
pines can go, then South Carolina has
the constitutional right to walk out Of
the union. The south Is solid for ex-
pansion and they contend that they will
control Mr.. Bryan and see that he does
nothing against expansion. The. anti
|expansionists of the north are dupes.
Under the party rule OF ME-. Bryan.
there is not a democratic senator or
governor in any state In the north.
Many points in Bryanfs speeches
were torn to pieces by the speaker and
the inconsist OF Bryan and his fol-
lowers was made apparent. The speech
|of Col. Irish was vote maker and Will
help swell the republican majority upon
election day. He was very frequently
interrupted by the applause and his
audience was one OF the most enthusi-
astic ever spoken to in our city. The
lis. U. I. Marching Club enthusiastically
interrupted him several times by sing
ling: His, Father and Mother Were
irish and He Was Irish Too.
John p. Irish was one our early set
tiers in Johnson County and when here
was leader In democratic circles, ana
his coming will influence for good many
OF the democratic party In this county
who otherwise would vote for Bryan
and the evils following his election.
