The United States is placed in the
most ridiculous position that ever a
great nation found itself. Here are
the two houses of congress, called in
extra session to transact business that
in the opinion of the chief executive
could not be delayed until the reg
ular session met, and both of them
meeting from day to day and refusing
to transact any business at all. On
the 7th the two houses will meet in
regular session, appoint the commit
tees, few thousand bills will be in
troduced and then they will adjourn
for the holidays. Every appropriation
bill will be delayed to the very last
of the session and then all sorts OF
steals will be rushed through, dispos-
ing of more than half billion Of
money that has been taxed out of the
people. A red-nosed gentleman.
standing in front of Lincoln saloon,
heard two men discussing the situa-
ton, and he broke into the conyersa-
tion with the remark: "Tha's all
right. The women took the liquor
away, and they jes' can't stay long
'nough on the hill to do anything"
Are you referring to the closing Of
the capitol saloons?" asked one of the
men. Sure the red-nosed gentle
man replied, "and you'll never get
any laws passed 'tiii-they get their
liquor back. Hadn't any business to
cut off their liquor.

sarily a means of acquiring knowl-
edge. 1t is not SO important to know
what men have said of things, as it is
to know something of the things
themselves. 1t is because | have at
tackled the class to which Mr.. Theo-
bald by nature belongs, that he mani
tests such bitterness toward me. 1t
is this which makes him willing to-
perpetrate a libel by charging me with
having stolen an idea from a book |
never saw. His rancor also leads him
to falsely ascribe to me conclusions
nowhere to be found In any utteranee
of mine. He seems to be one OF those
natural serfs, who, having great
man as lord, feels it to be his duty
to that lord to resent any encroach-
ment Upon his domain. AS the born
thrall of all the celebrated writer's
upon the subject of money from Arls-
totle down to Del Mar, he feels that
my attempts to set forth some ideas
which cannot be found In any of their
books, is an affront to him, and ne
resents the thought that any idea can
be drawn from the realities, unless
confirmation of it can be shown IN
the books which alone furnish him IN
formation.
The coarseness and brutality OF. his
attack discloses the fibre OF his nina,
as we'll as the seryile quality OF his
spirit, and manifests his pre-emlnent
qualification as f1unkey for men whose
ideas have obtained ascendancy over
him. Legitimate criticism is beneflc-
ial to writer's as we'll as the public,
and I should welcome discussion Oh
the positions taken by me, Ii such dis
aa,ssion be directed to the elucidatlon
of the matters involved. But when,
as in the present case, the motive,
born of a supercillious egotism, is to
display what the critic mistakes Tor
his extensive knowledge, and to not-
fy the world that he has read many
words: and when, as in this case,
there is no purpose to investigate
with a view to arrive at the truth, IL
looks much like waste OF time TO
give it attention.
One who will fabricate quotation
for the purpose of predicating thereon
a ibelous charge of literary larceny
is not a person who should receive
much consideration at the hands OF
the public; and such person is James
Theobald, Of Hackensack, N. D.,
(populist).
In closing l desire to express my
appreciation to Mr.. De Hart, for what
he has brought out upon the subject
of free coinage, and the fact that my
manuscript dealing with that subject
has been so long in the hands OF The
Independent, will be the only protec-
ton shall have when it appears in
The Independent against the charge
by some Theobald of plagiarizlng from
Mr.. De Hart. w. n. ASHBf.

MUSCATINE rs SADLY
AFFLICTED WITH TYPHOID

Typhoid fever is raging in Musca-
tine and the source of the disease is
blamed to the river water. Many
deaths have occurred and at present
there are any number of cases
throughout the city.
The people are alarmed at the
spread of the fever and are demand
ing that something be done at once.
Water is being boiled and samples of
the river supply have been hurried of
to n chemist for examination. The
Muscatine journal says in part:
The fearful mortality due to the
ravages of typhoid fever in Musca-
tine is something that demands i'm
mediate attention and quick action
The people are already aroused to the
gravity of the situation, but there is
urgent need of a waking up on the
subject and of impressing the citi'
zens with the idea of putting in prac'
tice some simple plan which will les
sen the epidemic and eventually STAMP
it ,out.
THE fact that the intake of the
water company is but short dis
tance below a large sewer is disgust
ing, to say the least. 1t is also al
alarming matter and should be RENE

tiaI mistake in locating the intake
rests with the men who built the
plant, and the city, which now owns
the property, will be compelled t'

Celebrating on Shop Plans
Col. Thomas II. Brown, who is rep

from Chicago. where he has learned
that the original plans for the build
ngs to be erecte ed have been changed
greatly.
The buildings are to be even larger
than the original blue-prints showed.
and instead of II acres being under
roof it is likely that before the en-
gineers are done with il they will
plan for buildings to cover 40 acres.
The trackage about the land the COM
pany has purchased win also be great
ly increased and the whole tract inn
proved upon more elaborate scale
than was at first intended.

any chances of having the needs OF
the company outgrow during the next

Rock Island After Frisco.
New York, Feb. 26.-Wall street feels
almost confident that j. =. Morgan &
Co. have purchased control of the ST
Louis d San Francisco railroad for
the Rock Island. There were rumors
all yesterday of competitive buying
of stocks by the Morgan interests
but these purchases were not cred
tied to the Rock Island. 1t was said
earlier in the day that the Rock Isl
and people were buying on their OWL
account.
In the last hour of the stock mar
ket a report spread on the exchange
that Morgan & Co. had purchased
control of the Frisco for the Rocl
Island company. 1t was declared
that control had been acquired
through the purchase of Il large
amount of common stock. According
to these same reports the price paiC
for the stock was $50 per cent il
cash and the balance in notes extend
| ing from six to IS months.
1t has been an open secret for some
time that the Rock Island aspired Il
the control of this property. Covet
Gus eyes have watched every move o1
the Frisco people and an opportunity
to buy into the property has beer
eagerly sought. The acquisition
would give the Rock Island many
feeders in the south which it needs t.
meet some of its strongest competi
tors.

DENVER CHARTER
BADLY DEFEATED

Gll against HISS for, the proposed
charter for greater Denver vas yester-
day recorded defeated by the majority
of 7.l5@ considerably larger than the
most sanguine oil its antagonists ex-

The stunning defeat was due largely
to the antagonisms of the liquor in
tcrests and their camp followers. tho
corporations. and to II smaller degree
the recently annexed territory.
The effort to increase the license
fees on saloons and better provisions
for their regulation. the lack of ward
representation and the powers granted
were freely given as the mainsprings
for rejection. The people who were
not directly affected did not take the
same interest in its election as those
who believed themselves directly at
icctcd took to defeat it.
There was a registration, fraudulent
and otherwise of 5O,S7O and the vote
was in round figures 3G.10o The yot.

that framed the charter was around
