Mr.. A. P. Peacock, million
aire steel manufacturer of Pitts
burg, thinks he has improved up
on Andrew Carnegie's plan of
giving away his fortune. Mr..
Peacock will not build or endow
any libraries, but has started out
to buy homes and provide incomes
fer the worthy old friends of his
younger days. In New Jersey the
other day he presented two of his
friends with homes and incomes
as Thanksgiving gifts, and said he
had Other bensfactlsns Of the kind
In view. He will not give indis-
criminately, but only to such per-
ssns as he personally knows to be
worthy. This is rather depart
ure from the customary method
of distributing fortunes.

defy tho laws Of society. That
this is the move dangerous form
of anarchy is evident, because the
source of all law and order is and
must reside in the enlightened

Worst Form of An ,rchy.

Although it was not written for
pnbllcatlea, personal letter
recently received from an eminent
attorney of this State, called forth
by The State comments on the
Anderson lynching, contains such
worthy sentiments that we take
the liberty of reproducing few
sentences. The lawyer writes
"Mobocracy, when 1t takes the
law into its own hands, is mere
dangerous to society than anarchy
in any form. One man in his
craze to pose as hero may strike
down the ruler of government,
as has been done more than once
in America; but such anarchist

that law which says: Justice is

negro with his usu.l vigor and
said "that there was a time in

judges caught on to the fashion,
and one of them said track
alone was not sufficient to con

of 1895 allows the jnry alone to

Judges cannot now tell juries that
tracks cannot convict"
Judge Buchanan took note of
this remark and when he charged
the jury he severely rebuked the
solicitor in the following language:
"lt never was the Gust m of

Masons have had q prominent part

which will account for the large
attendance. The cornerstone of
the exposition was laid by Grand

THE CUBAN QUESTION.

Cuba will eventually become part
of the United States; but the process
of annexation will be slow or fast, ac-
cording to circumstances.
Cuba is not exactly ripe for annex
alton; yet the better class of states
men of that island are unanimous in
the belief that Cuba must at last come
under the control of the United States.
The Cuban statesmen are Spaniards in
thought and sentiment. They are will
ing for annexation, but they have their
price and rather than the price should
be denied them, it is probable they
will fight for separate independence.
This does not deny the Cubans their
patriotism, but it merely recognizes
facts. Cuba is Cuba it is not a Span
ish colony, but it must not be forgot
ten that its statesmen are Spaniards
with Spanish methods.

JUDGE sLANcHARD's ADDRESS,

tFrom Fridays Daily.]
The Memorial day address of Judge
Blanchard of Oskaloosa which was
published in full in yesterdays Cour-
Ter, breathes the spirit of patriotism
in every sentence. 1t was one of the
most interesting addresses ever given
in this city upon similar occasion
and was of special value in that it
brought home to the consciousness and
understanding of the present genera
ton, the great sacrifices that were
made by their parents in the war of
the rebellion. If WapslIo county
should now be called upon to furnish
contingent for another war, equal in
proportion to population, to that which
this county sent out to the war Of the
rebellion, the great number of 81
500 soldiers, selected from the most
vigorous and healthy men, would go
out from our midst Judge Blanchard
| well says that such call and such a
sacrifice would send CONSERVATION
and despair into almost every home.
And yet this is what the people of
Wapello county did forty years ago.
Every citizen of this county should
read Judge Blanchard's address and IA
miliarize himself with the important
facts that are now matter of histor-
ical record, which are contained there

1t is unfortunate that laws cannot
be enacted to protect the people from
the SO called religious fakirs. AS an
instance: There is the fakir, John
Alexander Dowie, a fraud, shrewd
sharp schemer. who has number OF
people absolutely under his control.
The laws are lax and Dowie is able to
go on without hindrance. Technical
ly, the law is on his side but as mat
ter of fact Dowie is a law-breaker, a
scoundrel and an impostor. He as
sumes to be the re-incarnation of Eli.
jah and as such is welding a devilish
influence over his followers. The laws
ought to spot such fakirs. Dowie has
acquired a great property but the law
ought to be that he should yield every
dollar of his ill-gotten gains to his
dupes.

ALMOST A FREE LOVE MARRIAGE

The Rev" George D. Heron and
Miss Carrie Rand took upon them
selves the very light obligations OF
marriage that their peculiar religion
demands, at New York, on May rs. On
March %, the divorce of Heron and
his lawful wife was announced and it
is to be noted that the wife was given
the custody of the four children, which
decision is the same as to say that
the late husband was unworthy of
such trust and that the wife is wor-
thy.
The marriage OF the Professor and
Miss Rand, is an, entirely new cere.
mony in Christian practice. 1t would
seem that these two strange people
endeavor to 60 just as far ahead and
beyond Christian rule and practice
and as near freeIlove doctrine as pos
sible. 1t is certain that their lives
and the final marriage are not to be
held up to the youth of the country
as proper examples.
Heron is an example of socialism
gone to seed. Miss Rand Is misguid-
ed woman who has, in virtuous kind
of way, robbed another woman OF
her husband. Heron has set himself
up as an example of Applied Chris.
tianity and yet he is an example OF
Diabolism. The youth OF the country
both male and female, would be better
without the examples before them OF
Heron and Miss Rand.
