DESTROYS FREE VS. HOME
A fire that started from a defective
flue totally destroyed the residence of
Professor A. O. Kreel t Saturday
afternoon about 4 o'clock. The fire was
liist discovered hv Mrs. Freel, who was
i:h.ne at the time, and was slowly burn
ing through tne root or ine kimmh-u. .m
est into the hands of the enemies of
goocVgovernmeTit; thereby forfeiting its-
jifclitiUd dfistroying lta atolirty. tairnie
in the name of the people.
. Resented All Reforms.
f ' Apparent to everyone is the fact
Cthnt way down deep in the heart of the
jepublicnn convoution at Chicago there
'Was a feeling of anger and resentment
over the popular clamor for reforms;
Mid it is equally patent that there is
;bo bona fide intention on the part , of
jthe republican party: of. granting 4n.v
.reform, if the maehhifry of the party
!itii be retaineil in present hands. Its
paper platform, divided like ancient
Gaul into three parts barren promises.
makeshifts and evasions it ifl hoped
rtvill make a good campaign transparent
fcy; but no one seriously behoves taut
,-tho republican party really indorses that
neutral manuscript which held the con
tention together until it: eoiiM ratifvr
the nomination of a presidential candi
date. Considering the present state of
ihe public mind, is it any wonder that
our conduct is being closely scrutin
ized; and is it not incumbent upon us
to see that the intent and action of.thih
magnificent gathering of a nation's tie'
moeraey shall clearly- reflect the peo
ple's will? Approarhiug our great task
a manly, dignified manner, imbued
with the loftiest sentiments of patriot
ism, ambitions to throw every safe
guard around the liberties of our people,
determined to stntnp out tho abuses that
'lire consuming the substance of the na
il ion. let us proceed to our appointed
duty wilh the sustaining consciousness
that we are responsible alone to Hod
dud to our country for the justice of our
cause.
j Three Things to Do.
h 'Then are three things that th
i-nnveniiim should do. It ought to pic
'ill in plain and intelligent manner the
iserions industrial and political eondi--iions
that are disturbing the peace and
happiness of our country. We idiould
then proceed to a courageous exposure
v( the republican policies that are
uperating with private greed in tho gen-
-i-ral oppression of the people... Ami
lastlv. and most important .or all, we
must exhibit a readiness and an ability
to grasp the problems of the hour aod
-to ollVct (heir solution in a manner that
will satisfy tin- sober, common sense of
the multitudes whose inferests are at
Make.
We can probably expedite tin- pro
ceedings by catering the plea of guiltv
that is contained in the Chicago plat
i'orin. simply changing the words " we
will" to the woids 'we did not' to con
