Reveille has at last come into the open
after a campaign of insinuatlon. by
printing the contents of pleading III
the municipal court. I am not con-
scious that | have ever done the gifted
editor of the Reveille an injury.
In arecent article he stated that re-
cent events had so damaged my
"fences" that my political prospects
were cloudy. These events were that l
had been retained by working girl of
this county to get damages claimed by
her for an assault made by public
officer while taking her to his home
and Expressing case against a man
for alternating the affections of another
mans wife.
The editor has called the first affair
an "indiscretionj in his family journal
and, I suppose, classes the latter case in
the same list of offences. | did not
suppose that had excited the ire of
Editor Welles in either case, but
judge that he objects to any disclosure
of such "indiscreet" matters. l am
sorry, but will have to get on without
the warm friendship of Mr. Welles,
which I have so long possessed and
which I know has existed because he
told me.
In regard to the Small matter |
would say that have done nothing by
which any friend Of mine, outside an
apologist for official ''indescretions')
would take exception if in possession
Of all the facts. I have bad no con-
nection with either Mr. Pickett or Mr.
Barnes in the matter. | have not tried
to keep Mr.. Barnes in such abject fear
that he would give notes for nothing
or pay money on such notes two weeks
afterwards
I have had no feeling against Mr.
Small and no desire to compass bis de-
feat for any Office but have simply tried
to do the duty of an attorney to client. !

Death of John F. Duncombe.

John +. Duncombe of Fort Dodge is
dead. Apoplexy was the cause of his
death. For nearly so years Mr.. Dun
combe has been the most prominent
figure in everything pertaining to the
upbuilding of northwestern Iowa. In
early times he was foremost among
those who helped to protect the early
settlers from the savage Sioux Indians.
He was among the incorporators of
every line of railway entering Fort
Dodge, and to his executive ability and
public spirit, more than to any other
one cause, is due the development of
the rich coal and gypsum mines in the
vicinity of his home city.
Throughout his long public life he
was at all times an active democrat.
He was chairman of the Iowa delega-
tion at the democratic national conven-
ton in 1892, and in 1896 made the Boies
nominating speech in the democratic
national convention of that year. He
was for many years a regent of the
State University, and many times the
nominee of his party for important
state offices. He was one of the sblest,
most eloquent and genial members of
the bar of the state. His sterling man
hood will long be remembered.

Teachers of Moral Duties.

Do clergymen and Sunday School
teachers make the best use of their op-
portunities Are they constantly in
gear with that which is best for man
kind in this swirl of modern advance, or
do they waste portion of their time in
endeavors to explain the NEUROLOGICAL
stories of the past? These are ques-
tions which have doubtless suggested
themselves to the minds of many. The
vulgarity of i'll temper, the vice of quar-
relsomeness, the disgrace of dishonesty
and injustice, the virtue of self control,
the nobility of forgiveness, the desira-
bility of courtesy and kindness and
other themes kindred to these furnish a
field for moral instructors which can
never be overworked Work In this
field promotes culture, morality and
true respectability. 1t helps to make
homes happier, helps to do away with
all forms Of wretchedness, infamy, and
immortality.

FROM TWO POINTS OF VIEW
What tho Regular Report Says and What
President Mitchell Says.


OF the twenty of more persons who
were beaten with clubs or struck by
bullets during the rioting one man,
Joseph Beddall, who was reported to
have died, is still living, but is in
critical condition. The physicians at
Springs, where some of the wounded
were taken, fear that Beddall will die.
The four policemen who were shot,
and the strikers who We're also hit by
bullets, will recover. Most of the
wounded strikers say that they We're
merely onlookers. The district attor-
ney and the sheriff are prosecuting an
investigation with Il view of placing
under arrest all those who participa-
ted in the riot.

The Republican Platform.

xue RepuDuCau f1aCIOTm.
The platform adopted by the Iowa re-
publicans, at their state convention last
week, is in some respects, an admirable
statement of democratic principles, and
q singing rebuke to most of the repub-
lican delegation in congress.
This plank for example:
We favor such amendments to the in
terstate commerce act as will more fully
carry out its prohibition of discrimina-
lions in rate-making, and any modifica-
required to prevent their affording shell
ter to monopoly.
Verify the republicans of Iowa are
beginning to get their eyes open. This
shelter to monopoly" plank was not
alone adopted, but its presentation by
the platform committee was greeted by
generous applause.
For the past ten years or more the
democrats in and out of congress have
been contending, that the tariff sched-
ules should be so revised as to prevent
their use by the trusts as shelter for
their extortions. And during all these
years the republican party, and especial
ly the congressman from Iowa, have
been accepting enormous campaign
contributions from the'tru and tariff
beneficiaries, and working increasingly
to keep the prohibitive tariff wall as high
as possible and prevent its revision for
any purpose.
It is not to be wondered that the Iowa
congressional delegation felt furious
over the platform, for it reflects upon
their record in more respects than one.
Congressman Cousins probably spoke
the sentiments of the whole delegation
when he said:
"This platform is dirty, lousy lie,
fabricated by lot OF trucking, tenn
porizing hypocrites, and I'll be preach
ing the doctrines of true republication
when the pansy is growing over their
grave. I'll support the ticket and make
some speeches, but want everyone to
know where / stand"

The Homes You Pass on the Train


A ride of 200 miles from the heart of
Q great city to land of broad acres,
clean air, and farm houses furnishes
food for much thought and speculation.
You soon pass the palaces of brick
and stone where commerce with its
hordes of busy men and women vie
with each other in every line of trade.
Then the big factories appear, with
their fierce fires and smoke and CRIME;
and In and near the shadows of the
chimneys of these factories there is q
grim Gordon, where squalor and cheer
less disorder have their abiding place.
Tens Of thousands of human beings also
abide there. The houses differ only in
degree of dilapidation. Their back
yards are square bits of earth, covered
with tin cans, broken bottles and other
garbage. The washings on the lines
look more like discolored rags than arti-
cles of wearing apparel, and offensive
smells which seem to come from every
direction constitute its most disagree.
able characteristic. Some call this To-
cality the camp of industry, the place
that makes the city possible, but it has
more the appearance of being the gen
eral headquarters for poverty.
Not far beyond this factory and pack
ing district there are other homes, nei-
ther crowded nor far distant from each
other. They are beautiful to behold
and have well kept lawns, and green
berms and nice shade trees.
And the train is now gaining speed
and rushing on to Its destination in
some western city. 1t is soon out into
the level country, dotted here and there
with farm buildings, and divided into
fields for different agricultural purposes
Then the curtains of night commence
to roll down, and as the gathering dark
ness shuts out the view, the passenger
sees In mind picture all of these
homes at one time. Instinctively he
finds himself asking these questions
Is this scamp of industry" which
makes the city possible, being fairly
dealt with? Will the time ever come
when mankind will be wise enough tt
devise system of economics, which
will insure to all the right to use anc
enjoy fair share of the wealth pro
duced by their labors? Could such {
much desired result be brought about
by substituting for our present com
mercial system great cooperative
commonwealth? Or is there some
thing inherent in human nature, which
will always make literally true tn
words of Him who said, "the poor yor
will have with you always?"
At any event there are worse things
than an empty pocketbook. All the
glory lies, not in the possession Of
money, but In the manner In which II
is used. Many low roof in the "camI
of industry" may cover more real hap
piness than the loftiest mansion tina
resrs itself up, fitted and surrounded b.
everything that money can buy,
