John Brown was a rebel against his
government, d;sturber Of she public
peace and an anarchist in its fullest
sense. He declared war upon law and
constituted authority, setting aside the
fundamentally of the constitution for
the redress Of grievances and substitut-
ing therefore his own will. He met the

When the country is engaged in a

thing that an attempt should be made
to extol one who was an open enemy
of the law.

WANTED..MORE BORDENS.

The need of independent manufactur-
ers of character and means in all lines
is made more apparent by the
recent notable act of Mr.. c. d. Borden,
of Fall River. who advanced the
wages Of his mill operatives five per
cent because of rise In the
price of print cloths. The Boston
Globe gives him the name of 1.-The wiz
ard of Fall River" and declares that
his power to carry out his liberal policy
toward his employees has the effect to
startle trust manufacturers" with occa-
sional increases of wages lies In the
fact that he is an independent manufac-
turer and the slave Of no trust, ana

Two years ago some laboring men
were silly enough to believe the fairy
tales of trust magnates that the crea-
ton Of trusts would result in better
wages for working men. The events OF
the past two years has made it impos-
sible for any man except an idiot to be
fooled by such chaff. The trusts as
rule are created to give "velvet" and
"watered stock" to promoters and own
ers. Therefore they must press down
wages wherever it is possible to do so.
The example of Mr.. Borden. an indie
pendent manufacturer, seems to empha-

Hog and Hominy.
Nashville Graphic.)

The KinSton Free Press says the high
prices of corn and the comparatively low
prices of cotton makes it pretty hard on
the farmers in North Carolina who plant
only little corn. We have observed
for many years that the farmer who
raises plenty of ''hog and hominy" is al
ways in good shape financially. 1t pays
our farmers to have their smokehouses
and barns on their farms instead of out
west. In addition to the cost of grain
and meat from the west, heavy freight
charges, dealers profits and the loss of
time and labor of man and beast to haul
them from town to his farm all have to
be added, and the cost is much heavier
than that sort of a farmer thinks.

KEEP YOUR EYES ON DURB1N.

Does this country endorse anarchy and
assassination?
The conviction of the assassin Of Mr..
Mckinley and the utterances Of press,
pulpit and public would indicate that the
American people are determined to stamp
out everything anarchistic, and guar
antee legal government in an orderly
way. Such is the temper of the people
of all parties, il the recent public state
ments are to be relied upon.
The only discordant note now heard is
from Indianapolis. Not many months
ago, the Governor of Kentucky was aSsas-
sinated in the capitol grounds as the re-
suit of the infamous conspiracy Of a
gang Of political anarchists and assassins
of that State The Guiteau or Czolgosz Of
the Kentucky anarchists was one Taylor,
Governor of the State. He was indicted,
fed the State and is now living-an out
law and fugitive from justice-in Indian
apolis. The Governor of Kentucky has,
in the regular and legal way, made a
requisition upon the Governor of In
diana, for the return of Taylor that he
may be put on trial for the crime for
which he is indicted.
The Governor of Indiana will give his
answer in week. If he refuses to per-
init the trial of Taylor for the crime OF
murder, he becomes himself the alder
and abettor of the assassin, and is no
better than the miserable gang of an
archists at Patterson. N. j., who ap-
plauded the assassination of the Presi-
dent They were dealt with roughly.
Can Durbin. the Republican Governor OF
Indiana, violate all law and precedent in
order to protect an assassin and escape
the condemnation of all good men who
cry aloud for Law and Order?

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, Dec. ia new trust Is
about to be formed in central and
northern Iowa among the furniture
dealers. The idea of the combination is
to aid the retailers In buying and es-
pecially to save freight rates. The
rates en- open freight are extremely
high while those on carload lots are
much lower-in fact about one half and
in many cases even less than that. The
plan OF the associated dealers contem-
plates the buying of everything in their
line as an individual and in car lots,
shipping it to a central city and then
distributing the goods to the dealers.
The scheme is a novel one started by
the Marsh & Arlington house of this
city. In answer to their circular letters
sent out q few days since more than
100 dealers thruout central and northern
Iowa have responded favorably A
combination of this sort is expected to
put the retail furniture dealers upon a
basis to successfully compete with the
large catalogue houses. While this as

Cass-Shelby district over Hon. James p.
Bruce, of Anita, the republican candi-

Mr.. Bruce sets forth in his petition to

both Cass and Shelby counties many
votes were counted for Emmert con-
traryAto the Iowa election laws and con-
trary to the ruling of the supreme court
on points at issue. Mr.. Bruce also says
that many votes cast for him were not
counted, which by right under the law
he was entitled to have counted, and he
asks that the votes be all recounted be-
fore a committee of the senate named
for that purpose. The election was one
of the closest ever known, Mr.. Bruce
carrying Cass county by twenty-nine
and Mr.. Emmert carrying Shelby coun-
