CALCiMlME AS A DISlNFECTANT.

The confession OF Sherman Morris,
alias Shercliffe, and the revelations
which followed 1t have made business
for the calciminers in two states. A
Davenport paper mixes the usual
whitewash for an ex-senator from Its
district, whose name has been connect
ed with the effort for Shercliffe's par
don, by Offering his long record as a
business man as a sufficient shield
against calumny. According to the
Davenport paper. all the ex-senator did
was to join In a petition for the parole
OF Shercliffe, whom he had been led to
believe was reformed man. Governor
Drake, to whom the petition was made,
declined to act. sand according to the
ex-senator's account of it, his connec-
tion with the whole matter ceased then.
This scarcely agrees with the inter-
views given out by Judge Van Wag-
enen, who recalls visit from the ex-
senator wherein every effort was made
to secure the Judges approval, or lack
Ing that, his neutrality, in the parole
matter, and at the close of which the
judge felt sufficiently outraged to send
word to the senator to Ego to I'LL" 1t
hardly agrees with the published inter-
view with the ex-senator, wherein he
is made to acknowledge the gift of a
diamond and its subsequent loss. There
are many Incidents that are scarcely to
be covered by the common whitewash
that in business the man has met his

disposed to break the silence. A feel

crept over me, and yet was conscious
of strange curiosity as to how our

To the Dubuque Times there appears
no reasonable hope that the rank and
file of the democratic party can be IN
tIuced to unite under the banner of the
conservative leaders and give them its
confidence and LOYALTY. There is more
populisn than Tilden democracy in the
organization today, and Hearst would
be its deliberate choice If 1t were not
for the strength of the conservatives In
New York and few other eastern
states. The Tilden democrats are really
a third party exercising the balance of
power between McKinleyism and Bry-
anism. Ii would take a rare combina-
ton of circumstances to restore them
to control in the nation"

THE TFMpoRARy cnAlRMAN,s SPEECH.

Temporary Chairman Irwin made a
pleasant, kindly speech to the conven-
tion today. Mr.. Twins position on
tariff was modified metaphrase of the
standpat utterances OF the past six
months, lacking LATE Young's vindic-
tiveness but opposed to the revisionists
OF 1908 with an anchor to windward in
the promise that the republican party
arises and the time arrives. His ref
erences were kindly and he had no
quarrel with other republicans who diff
fered with him in policy or opinion.
It was the speech of a good man, but
1t was not great. A large portion of
his address was given over to general
lie men were smothered beneath the
boquets of his adulation. He quoted
Booth Harrington and Francis Bacon,
Robert walpole, Bayard Taylor, and
Bentham and referred to Brutus' dag
ger. Aaron's rod and the Song of the
Shirt. AS exernplifying the orators
ersatility and command of English
vocabulary the speech was great
enough. Otherwise it lacked.
Comparisons are odious but neces-
sary to the cultivation of the sense of
proportion. Candor compels the admis
sion that Twins speech compared to
that Of last years temporary chairman

"a TARIFF RIPPER. y

Lafayette Young in discussing the
tariff editorially in the Des Moines
Capital in 1901 occupied the position
that he is now pleased to call Tariff
Ripping" Here is what he said:
In the opinion of the Capital there
is not the slightest doubt but that the
radical reimbursement of tariff schedules
is to be marked feature of the dis
cussion which will decide the econoln-
ical and industrial battles of the fu-
ture. The republican party will con-
tinue to be the champion of the tariff
principle. Whenever tariff duties are
essential to the growth or in order to
insure the existence of an industry the
republican party will favor tariff in
its behalf. But whenever an industry
has outgroWn the swa ddling clothes of
infancy and has become so powerful
and strong as to control the entire out
put OF the product which happens to
be It's particular speciality, public opin-
ion is going 10 demand the aholishing
of the tariff duty. Why? Simply be-
cause 1t has outgrown the need of the
protection to which it was justly en-
Titled in Its youngest and tenderer days.
This Is protectionism. This Is republic
anism."
What Young then called protection
ism he now calls free trade" and
what he then called republicanism he
now calls democracy. Young is funny.

lions of ]. w. War;, for years the Sec

ton. Mr.. War; was indicted by the
grand jury and committed to Jail to

circumstances lost the savings OF
years.
More recently Davenport has been
shocked by the misa ppropriation of
large sums of trust funds by former
mayor of the city. S. f. Smith. The
Davenport case probably involves the
loss of more money than the one in
Moline, tho the exact facts are not
yet known in regard to the shortages
on either side of the river. How many
persons in this city are made to suffer
both directly and indirectly it will re-
quire time to tell. This city has q
longer record, men in whom confidence
has been placed and abused 1T, but they
are small in comparison.
And now some light is being turned
on the dark places In Des Moines, and
several other Iowa cities where funds
supposed to be intact are found to be
missing. Fred Sales formerly assist
ant city clerk of Des Moines, who
died several weeks ago from a dose of
morphine, proves, to be otherwise than
his friends thought him to be. FIX

Headquarters of Pine Tree Lum.
Der Co. Will Go to Village of
Walker.

The logging industry on the
Leech and Cass Lake reservations
is giving the village of Walker a
decided boom and the announce
ment is made this week that the
Pine Tree Lumber Company will
be removed from Minneapolis
and Park Rapids to Walker. This
will mean something; to Walker.
All the company's supplies will
be brought there in the future
and the removal of the head
quarters will substantially in
crease the population of the town.
The Weyerhauser interests are
heavily represented in the Pine
Tree Co. and as they we're
among the most successful bid
ders for the Leeeh Lake reserva=
ton pine and will be cutting on
the reservation for some years to
come the removal of the head
quarters is a matter of necessity
and convenience as we'll.

Melby Bros. store at Wilton
was the scene of very daring
robbery shortly after nine O'Clock
last night, when an armed and
masked hlghwayman entered the
place and compelled the clerk to
turn over the contents of the cash
drawer and afterwards made
good his escape.
Thos. Melby, one of the pro-
prietors Of the store, had just
gone home and left the business
in charge of the clerk, Edward
Scion. There were no custom
ers and Mr. Scion occupied a
chair in the rear of the store
when the mghwayman entered.
He covered Scion with a gun and
compelled him to go to the safe
and get out the cash drawer. 1t
contained about $50 in cash. The
road agent appropriated this and
after looking about the place and
appropriating several minor arti-
cles of little value assured Scion
chat the best thing he could do
was to keep still. He advised
him that if he made a move to get
out of the store or spread the
alarm he would be shot to death.
Before leaving the store he
tore the receiver out of the tele
phone. Scion did not give the
alarm for some little time and
when it was finally given out
there was no trace Of the high
wayman. He is described as a
comparatively speaking neatly
dressed young man wearing a
red sweater and a frieze top coat,
about medium height and not
bad looking.
The authorities in this city
were Immediately notified and
the Messrs. Melby came to Be
midi on the morning train. No
trace of the man was found here
and late advices from Wilton are
that he was tracked distance of
about mile west of that city,
where the trail was lost in the
snow.
