THE SHeRCLlFFE CASE.

The story Of the manner in which
Frank Shercliff procured his parole
from a governor OF Iowa which fur
nished newspaper patrons sensational
reading yesterday and today is not a
source OF pride to the respectable citi-
zens OF the state.
Shercliff attacked man on train
shot him twice, beat him with a revol-
yer, took aobut $4,000 worth of dia-
monds from his person and leaped
from the moving train. He was cap
tured, convicted and given seventeen
years in the penitentiary. The dia-
nlonds We're never recovered. Sher-
c1iffe had sold them to fence and de-
clared he would rot in prison before he
word. Governors Jackson and Drake
were besieged for his pardon without
avail. Governor Shaw granted his pa
role. Shercliff went back to robbery
and was returned to the penitentiary.
Why was Shercnffe paroled in the
face Of remonstrances from the presid
ing Judge, county attorney who pros
ecuted the case, the detective agency
that ran him 10 earth, and the pro-
tests OF others familiar with the facts
and the evidence. W. NJ. Hubbard,
Jr.. opposed the parole or pardon in a
letter to Governor Shaw and Judge

AN OVER WORKED THEORY.

An immigration measure offered by
Congressman Adams of Pennsylvania.
limits the number of Immigrants to be
received by the United States from any
one country, to $4,000. While the oper-
atioE Of such a law leaves the sitting
process precisely where ii is at present
lit is sensible suggestion of needed
legislation. The limit proposed by Mr..
Adams might. 1t seems. be largely re-
duced with profit to this country. The
Influx of the more debased and ignor-
ant European populations into TINS
country is alarming. We can assimilate
$4,000 or twice $4,000 Scandinavians
and Germans annually-the assimil-
atory process has already begun before
these nationalities land--we can use
the better classes of Italians to ad-
vantage, but the eastern states and
cities are finding the task of making
American citizens out of Sicilians,
Huns, Sclavs and the riff-raf OF
southern Europe, graceless and Wei
nigh impossible task.
In 1850 New York City contained
less than 900 Italians. It's 1900 census
showed that more than $4,000 Italian
born and more than 10000 born of
Italian parents. When four years OF
excessive emigration have been added
to the total, New York's Italian popu-
lation should count well along toward
the half million. There are thou
sands Of Armenians, Greeks and others
to swell the figures Of ignorance and
mi-depravity.
There is too much of it. The bur-
den is becoming onerous and even dam
gerous. The theory that this country
is able to give every man a farm and
an opportunity is being overworked.

Hubbard in personal letter desired
Ito reassert our strong opposition on
account OF the character of the man,
the enormity of the offense and the
facts that appear from the documen-
tary evidence published are that David
Mercer, a Nebraska congressman put
railroad interests under obligation by
working and voting for the settlement
of the Sioux City and Pacific" in
debtedness. Then Judge Hubbard
wrote his now justly celebrated
letter. ]. N. Baldwin, of Council Bluffs
general counsel for the Union Pacife
al once became convinced of Scher-
cliffe's innocence. Dave Mercer needed
500 votes which Judge Hubbard said in
his letter to Shaw could be procured
from relatives of Shercliffe." Mr.. Bald
win assured the governor that he had
reliable information that the Pinker-
tons had withdrawn their opposition,
and week later William A. Pinkerton
denied this in a personal affidavit for
warded to Governor Shaw and stated
his positive knowledge of Shercliffe's
guilt. Mr.. Baldwin asserted his deep
personal interest in the case and his
thorough belief in Shercliffe's inno-
cence. Blunt old Judge Hubbard went
to the meat of the matter at once and
told Shaw plainly that Mercer needed
the votes.
The reason for Shercliffe's parole
seems plain. If Judge Hubbard is to be
believed Nebraska congressman who
had voted and worked as railroad inter-
ests desired was to receive payment in
votes purchased by the parole OF one
of the most daring criminals in Iowa
police history Shercliffe got his parole
upon the recommendation of two rail-
road bosses and against the protests of
the police and Judiciary Dave" APP
pears to have failed to coll
lect the votes, however. That
Shercliffe was paroled and turned
nasty mess The manner of procura-
ton and the reasons urged for the par
ole are of vastly deeper interest to Iowa
than the turning loose Of dozen dia-
mond robbers. Shercliffe is safe in the
penitentiary but who knows when
railroad boss may have another debt to
pay and how he will pay 1T?

The Lost Days.
/ wish / had not gone

I wish had not gone
Back to the little town,
With all my wealth OF memories. to sadly
fling them down;
That had no more seen
The lazy little street
That idles down the hillside where the
town and country meet.
l wish had not gone
To loter and to look
And miss the boytime glories In the one
time singing brook
One day it was deep;
One day 1t was SO wide;
One day 1t held cool shadows where the
sunshine went to hide.
wish / had not traced
The roses once again
And tried to find the redness and the
sweetness they had then.
Nor gone at early morn
To find them flied with dew,
Nor searched them for the honey that the
bees and once knew.
/ wish had not walked
The little country lane
And hoped to hear the bird songs with the
echoing refrain;
That had not gone out
Upon the meadow grass
Expecting yagrant clover scent and mint
tang as I'd pass
wish had not gone
Back to the little town.
Back to my castles built In Spain to 0eo
them crumble down;
To fail to hear the songs
That rose SO gladly then:
To wake and never dream that could
be q boy again.

DISAPPOINTED, BUT why?

The Oskaloosa Times Journal ana
several other democratic newspapers,
express their disappointment and dis
taste over the stand taken by Mr.. Bry-
an In his Chicago speech. They forsee
Increased bitterness and factional d.
vision in the party as natural result
of Mr.. Rryans merc.less dissection of
the New York platform and the can
6idate about whom that platform was
built.
1t is easy to account for distaste and
regret on the part Of the democratic
newsaa pers, but 1t is hard to see cause
for thei. expressed disappointment. Mr..
Brysr. no matter what erroneous pollt-
ical principles he may hold, or what
dangerous deductions he may draw
from them, has a public record of con-
esistency and sincerity. Bryan is an
honest democrat. with the courage TO
express himself While he has twice
led his party to defeat he has never
led 1t to dishonor The New York
platform is precisely what Mr.. Bryan
says 1t is dishonest, opposed to the
.avowedly vital principles of democracy
and d catch penny affair framed 20
collect a campaign fund. Why demo-
cratic papers should be disappointed
in the position taken by Mr. Bryan IS
hard for outsiders to understand. He
did his simple duty as a democratic
leader when he condemned the venal
ity and cowardice OF the New York
platform.
ALI thru this discussion of principles
and motives, Mr.. Bryan retains the
advantage. He Is the spontaneous
outgrowth of his party, the natural
leader Of the democracy. One blast
upon his bugle horn is worth a thou
sand Hills and Parkers. Bryan is
personal equation. The common dem
ocracy loves him and listens to him.
The Parker boom is a forced affair;
grown under glass, and when exposed
to the frost OF MIR. Bryan's powerful
opposition Is likely to wither in the
convention, of which Bryan and Bry-
an democrats are certain to constitute
a powerful element.
But to be disappointed because Bry-
an despises a sham is a confession of
the weakness OF democratic leadership

three bills which passed the legislature

we have good drainage law. In fact
it is a necessity. The governor will no
doubt return one of the bills signed,
and give us the needed relief.
