The children of Denmark are taught
to knit when but five years old. Even.
in the public schools this is quite an
institution, although the private
schools made it an abs oIute rude, one
hour each day being given to that I'M.
dustry. The same rule applies, in the
home life, one hour being devoted
daily either to sewing, knitting,
crocheting, embroidery or lace MAX
ing. Nor is this considered sufficient;
the young woman of the family is
supposed never to be idle, she must
always have something on hand to be
taken up. IF a chance visitor comes
in, or friend arrives for the day,
both have their needlework with
them.-Marie Manley, in Woman's

north are growing brighter every day.

Geo. L. Carter, late president of the V.

and the money to repair the road and
complete ii to connections on the north

story, however, that the V. & s. W. is
backing the road is pure myth. That
That road not only could not help it
financially but the Carter interests are
no longer connected with the V. x s.

people, however, have plenty of money,
and their large interests in coal lands
IN Virginia furnish an incentive. This,
with other and more potent influences
on the south, make the building of this

The lower grade clerk in the post Of
fee department who was discovered
working on the night force OF the cen
sus bureau, was compelled to resign
the latter place because Director Mer-
Ram countenance the drawing of two
government salaries by one man, after
1t had been made public. The heads
OF other government bureaus do, how
eyer, countenance the drawing of two
salaries by one man. Here are some
prominent cases that are well-known;
Mai. VIM. P. Huxford draws 81, 100 o.
year as retired captain in the army,
and about the same amount as clerk of
the senate committee on Military Of
fairs. Charles E. Morse draws 81, 100
q year as q retired army captain, and
900 a year as diHbursing clerk Of the
United States bureau of labor. Her
man Sehreiner draws 81, 100 as a retired
captain and $4,000 as clerk in the Of
fee of the commissioner of railroads.
There are others, but these examples
are sufficient to show that the law
against the drawing Of two government
salaries is a dead letter, whenever the
man who wishes to do the drawing has
pull enough. In addition to two sal
aries, the officials mentioned above en-
Joy, as retired army officers, the priyi-
lege Of purchasing all their family sup
plies from the United States quarter

This will be glad tidings to the peo-
pie of johnson City,
For years THE COMET has patiently
waited to publish this glorious news,
and it finds pleasure in now being first
in giving the public authentic infor-
nation.
In the years that are behind us we
frequently announced that the Gran
berry people would build a furnace on
land they own in this city, and We al
most had the furnace built but it went
up in smoke. All this time the COM
pany had its eye on the main chance,
so to speak. They found an oppor-
tunity to get possession of a modern
furnace at satisfactory figures and they
have leased the plant of the Virginia
Coal and Iron Company in this city for
three years with the privilege of pur-
chasing, The lease was signed in john
son City Tuesday by the directors OF
the two companies. This means more
fOr johnson City than the mere Oper.
ating of an idle furnace. The Gran
berry people own mountain Of the
only steel-making ore in the South
and to make it yield dividends it mus
be marketed. This can best be donI
in pig iron. It's an easy matter Il
drop the ore down from Cranberr,
over their own road and they Cal
manufacture the pig cheaper than any
one. Best Of all their capital is praC
tically unlimited and they are not her
to experiment. They are extremel
J conservative and have taken ever,
step advisedly. They have now maj
ket for the output, but later on the
intend putting in steel plant and cor
verting the bessemer pig into steel bi
lets in johnson City.
It begins 10 look as if Johnson Git

they will begin handling ore, limestol

HON. JOHN A. JOHNSON.

Hon. John A. Johnson, who died at
Helena, Montana, July IS, as announc-
ed in the Courier dispatches on Satur-
day, was at one time a resident of Of
tumwa and practiced law here. In
1858-60 he, was member of the Iowa
senate from this county. Mr.. Johnson
was man of more than ordinary abil-
ity; he was of imposing personal ap-
pearance and was a graceful and Win
ming speaker He came here about
the year 1854 from Lancaster, Keokuk
county where he had practiced law for
several years and was the law part
ner of M M. Crocker, who after
ward became distinguished as General
M. M. Croker in the war of the rebel
lion. Mr.. Johnson was a democrat.
He left this city about the beginning
Of the civil war and became promi-
nent in Montana politics soon after his
arrival there. There are many of the
older residents of Ottumwa and Wa
pello county who will remember him
as friend and a most genial com.

A JUST DECISION.

The decision rendered by the Sec
ond district appellate court of the
state of Illinois that municipal officers
must protect private property from
mob violence is one which will be re.
oeived will special approval by the pub
lie. The people pay taxes for the pur.
pose of securing good government,
which is but another name for liberty
of action and protection to life and
property. The municipality should
and must assume the responsibility of
guaranteeing these results to the peo-
pie. The fact that the taxpayers must
pay for injuries done to private prop
erty by mob violence will serve to eX-
eroise most lettering influence upon
the mob spirit and will cause many
who might otherwise join in with the
work of the mob to hesitate and hold
back. There is no place under the
free government for the mob and it is
a wise provision of the law which
holds the municipality responsible for
acts committed by mob violence

The telegraphic dispatches continue
to tell Of inter-urban electric lines that
are being projected at various points
throughout the state. 1t is hardly
possible that this is all talk without
any substantial backing and intention
of building, behind it. The latest line
announced is one running from Cres-
ton to Winterset, Iowa, and it is said
the work of laying the track will be-
gin in two weeks. The people of OF
tumwa will watch with deep interest
the building of any inter-urban line in
this state. We are convinced that the
future in retail business in commercial
centers will depend largely upon these
electric lines. Those progressive cit
les which move ahead and secure
them, will experience an amazing de-
velopment in retail business. These
cities which permit the opportunity to
go by, and fail to secure the benefits OF
inter-urban lines are bound to 60 back.

commercial development. 1t behooves
Ottumwa to keep her eyes on the pro.
posed inter-urban lines that are calcu,
lated to disturb the center of trade in
this locality.

SHALL THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY GO BLINDLY AGAINST FACTS

The antagonism which the Clinton
Herald has observed and the earnest
character of this opposition is based
upon other and deeper and more impor-
tant reasons. They have been Great
ed by Mr.. Cummins himself. He is,
widely disliked because at an impor-
tant crisis in the party history he de-
serted the party to the enemy, and not
only was he a deserter but he became
a leader of the opposition and the
chief instrumentality in the election of
Horace Boies. Mr.. Cummins and Mr.
Cummins' friends cannot set aside this
fact. Moreover, Iowa is state and
upon the whole is a prohibition state.
In all of Iowa south and west Of Des
Moines there are but three towns
which have taken advantage of the
mulct law-Council Bluffs, Creston
and Atlantic. There is no county in
which the mulct law is of general ap-
plication outside of the cities mention
ed. This condition is much the same
throughout the state. This must be re-
garded as fact, not as theory, and
the Gazette holds that this could not
be fact unless the people of Iowa in
very general sense believe as firmly

His example has justified the boiling
of party authority. His course has
been such that thousands of upright
and earnest republicans believe it to
be their conscientious duty to oppose
him Eini every, manner possible and in
every way possible.
Politicians cannot cure these diff
culties. Mr.. Cummins can not cure
them nor can his friends. They are
inherent in the man himself and in his
record, and no fact of his character
can be blotted out or amended or
remedied or outlawed. Mr.. Cummins
may say that he has been honest" in
the position which he has taken.
Probably this is true. But there are
likewise honest" differences, and the
fact that he has been honest will force
an unknown number of other people to
be honest also. 1t is at this point
that the difficult and menace arises.
This discussion is not a pleasant OF
a welcome, one as far as this paper is
concerned. But for the republican
party of Iowa to go blindly against
facts which create statewide condi
lions open to the most careless OBJ
servation is calamity that it is the
duty of the republican party to avert
if possible

AN ASTONISHING EDITORIAL.

Elsewhere in this issue, we repub-
lish an astonishing editorial from the
Dubuque Telegraph, (democratic), I'm.
der the heading, THE Ohio Treach-
cry" This editorial is so remarkable,
coming as it does from democratic
paper, whose editor was a candidate
to the democratic national convention
at Kansas City last year, that we pub.
lish it both as a matter of news and
for the deep political significance
which it has as indicating the trend OF
events in the democratic party. II
will be read with equal interest by
free silver and goldite democrats. as
well as by all republicans. 1t would
seem from this article that those dem
ocrats who believe that the proposed
reorganization of that party will re
store harmony and unanimity of feel
ings in its ranks, are certainly labor
ing under very great misapprehen
sion of the facts. The followers O.
Mr.. Bryan, who have been dominating
the democrats for the past five years
are not to be turned down without (
struggle, and it looks as if the disrupt
ing process was to be kept up at {
merry clip for some time to come. We
republish the two column editorial il
full, in order that the full trend of the
same may be appreciated by every
reader.
