PEOPLES PULPIT.

(By A. H Hamilton.l

10Y n.
For tho purpose of making publicity
of the issue between Comrades George
Kitterman and G. H. Dorothy for the
position of janitor to the court house
in this county. we will give to the pub
lie the following facts. If we are mis-
taken in these facts we shall be glad
to be corrected:
The second section of the soldiers
preference law of the state reads as
follows:
Sec 2-Removals. ''Any person
whose rights may in any way be pre-
JUDGED contrary to any of the provis-
ions of this section. shall be entitled
to writ of mandamus to remedy the
wrong. No person holding a position
by appointment IN the state of Iowa,
or in the several counties, cities, or
towns thereof. who is an honorably
discharged soldier, sailor or marine,
having served as such in the union

charges and with right of such en-
ploye or appointee to a review by a

Nothing in this act shall be con.
strued to atty to the position Of pri.
vate secretary or deputy Of any Off.
cial or department or to any person
helding a strictly confidential relation
to any appointing officer"
Now the above seems to be very
plain. George Kitterman has held the
office of janttor by appointment from
the board of supervisors for about two
years, according to our recollection
He Is an honorablv discharged soldier
OF the civil war. He has, so far as we
can learn. discharged his duties faith
fully, honorably and with ability. We
know OF no complaint made in regard
to his discharge Of the duties of the
place. There is no fixed term to the
place. Under the foregoing law he
can only be removed for Incompetence
or misconduct. upon a regular, formal
hea ing, as the law directs. His at
temnted removal and the appointment
of Dorothy has been done In def.
ance OF the law as quoted. No charge
has been made against Kitterman. Is
it an act of partisanship in any old
soldier or any citizen to oppose Kit
terman's removal in defiance of the
law? Certainly not No citizen can be
said to be a partisan because he in.

Pig Iron and Diamonds.

When iron Is prosperous precious
stones are always in the ascendant.
Last year the production Of pig iron
reached the enormous total of 25,OOO,-
600 tons, the price rose and at the
present time iron products cannot be
obtained at deliveries sooner than four
to six months. Last year the United
States imported diamonds to the value
of $34,000,000, by far the largest
amount in our history. Diamonds and
pig iron travel up and down the scale
together.

stopped at a small village and as a

that youth If he knew that the Duke of
Devonshire was In the train.
Immediately the man showed great
interest and said:

"I think he is not" answered Stevens.
