ROUGH IN THE HARBOR.
bat Business was Brisk win Many
Arrivals Noted.


Yesterday was a wild day in the harbor
although the rough weather did not ma
terialiy affect the regular business. In
deed there ware many more arrivals than
has been the case for many davs. Several
coaIers, q number OF lumber laden vessels
and a couple of fishermen from OF the
coast came In. The two most notable
arrivals were the British steamer Turret
Grown with q large cargo Of coal and the
British steamer Campsrdown from
Lioata, Sicily, with S7s0 tons OF sulphur
consigned to Boston parties. Captain
Campbell, the master of the Camper
down, reported that the steamer left
Licata, Decembar and thLt rough pas
sage was experienced. A particularly
severe gale was met on Sunday so thai
the steamer was able TO make less than
six knots an hour.
In the morning the steamer Bell. one
of the Thomson line sailed for London,
taking a full cargo and $40 head Of cattle.
As she was about to leave 10 was dis
covered that the watohman, tbs butcher
ana an ordinary seaman had deserted.
An effort was made by the officers OF the
line to engage three men to III these
vacancies. But this was not successful
and the Bellona sailed away with three
less the number OF crew that she had
when she arrived.
Yesterday the steamer Lady Armstrong
cleared for Hamburg aud the Buenos
Ayrean far Glasgow.
The lace makers from Nottingham,
England, who arrived Tuesday on the
Tunisian, bound for Illinois to take IN
their abode in the new colony under
process OF formation by Dr. John A.
Dowie, are still held on board the steam
er on which they arrived. Their counsel,
s. W. Packard of Chicago, left yesterday
for Washington, where he will present
the case of his clients to the proper au-
thorities there. He claims that they do
not come under the provisions OF the alien
contract labor law, but that they are
skilled Iaborers coming to this conntIy to
establish new industry. II the wash
ington authorities SO decide then the lace
makers win be allowed to proceed on
their journey.
1t Is probable that the decision will be
made within.a day or two. Meanwhile
the Immigrants will be kept on board the
Tunisian, If the decision should be de-
layed until time for the steamer to sail
then the steamship company would prob
ably transfer the people to some ether
boat of theirs in port. or II they had no
boat here accommodations would be
found for them on shore.

A MISUNDERS TERN.
The Ball Game of Fool is Not the Gamb-
ling Game OF "PoOI Rooms"

Frequently we see reported in tbs
different papers of various cities accounts
of police raids on "pool rooms" where
gambling outfits are secured. Now these
rooms rarely If ever contain tables for
playing the ."ball'' game of pool or bill
lizards; thsy are nothing but straight
gambling resorts with oard-playing for
a.money stake, which is the spool" bet
ting on horse races, prize fights, and the
like.
Billiard halls where the ball game OF
pool is played with cue sticks, seldom II
ever offer any gambling privileges, nor
is there anything in connection with
this game of pool more likely to excite
a desire for gambling than In the prize
games OF whist so universally in vogue
among whist clubs.

Fairfield People Want to Make Good
Wagon Road.

Fairfield people are anxious to Sc
cure the discarded right-of-way of the
Burlington railroad between Fairfield
and Ottumwa, for use as a wagon
road. Over almost the entire distance
the old right-of-way is no longer used,
now that the new track is in opera
ton. That is, this is true east of Ag-
ency, and will be the case between Of
tumwa and Agency in a short time
Mention was made in the Courier
few days ago of a scheme on foot to
use the road bed between Ottumwa
and Agency for the purpose designated
and the Fairfield Journal, in comment
ing upon this plan, has the following
to say:
Efforts are also being made by the
farmers living along the line between
this city and Agency to secure the
abandoned right-of-way. The sugges-
ton is a good one and if carried out
would make level hard roadbed be
tween this city and Ottumwa. BUSH

Observation-Disclosures

Socialist Meeting in Green Township.
Editor Courier:-The first socialist
meeting in Green township was pecul.
lar in several respects, chiefly in that,
neither of the old political parties or
any of their candidates were to any
degree made the object of attack. The
meeting was opened by speech OF
thirty minutes by Elder Shepherd on
THE Obligation of Man to His Eel
lows From Bible Standpoint" which
was well delivered and well received.
The issues from a political standpoint
We're then taken up by DR.. N. A. Baker
of Ottumwa who began his speech by
quoting from past republican and dem.
ocratic platforms in reference to
trusts, saying that the issue as to the
disposition of trusts was by these plat
forms made a national issue, which
socialists propose to take part in. He
declared that the presence of trusts,
monopolies and combines We're to be
found in every part of the national do
main and in every state of the Union,
regardless of whether such localities
were democratic or republican in poll
ties; that the evil was part of our in-
dustrial and economic systems, that
the mistake that had been made as
he believed ignorantly, and therefore
inadvertently, was the granting Of
franchises and sovereign powers to
private concerns or corporations, by
which the first millions were made
| from revenues that properly belonged
to the people as a result of the exere
else of public rights in the operation
of public utilities. Numerous QUOTA
tions were given, beginning with the
re
Rights" followed by numerous SUI
preme court decisions and quotationS
of American and English common law.
as to the nature of the sovereign pow
err Of the peop1e' over all powers and
privileges attaching to or growing out
of the right and exercise of public
utilities. He spoke on hour and fifteen
minutes, closing with an. eloquent and
stirring appeal and plea for compul-
sorry and thorough education of all
children at public expense. 1t is but
voicing the sentiment of Well-informed
and experienced listeners from, abroad
who were present, to say that DR.. Bak-
er'S effort was mastery, eloquent and
unselfish appeal to the patriotism and
honor of his hearers, the attention be-
ing marked during his entire speecht
The appreciation of his ideas was
farther emphasized by the eager man
ner in which literature of his own
writing was taken by the audience at
the close of the speech. To say that
he is impressing his views upon the
political records of the county and the
minds of it's voters in a way not easily,
to be erased, is putting it mildly, and
the fact that he is not candidate or
aspirant for Office, or yet paid dollar
for his efforts give his work the best
possible influence He is easily the
coming leader of socialism in Iowa.
