OME call him a holy martyr to liberty. Some call him a bloodthirsty ruffian. Some say he was a visionary fanatic, This article's purpose Is to tell his story, not to express an opinion on his character, His char- acter does not now matter, But his deeds led the way to the Civil War. He was John Brown, a tanner, born in Torrington, Conn, in 1800, Also, he began life as a pacifist. His hatred for war got him Into all sorts of trowble {n bis early days, He moved out to Kansas, where for years he lived as peacefully as his turbulent nelghbors would let him; ~he and his twenty children. Then the slavery ques- ” tion loomed big and bigger on the polftical horizon. { And John Brown, with a dozen of his children, enrolled himself with the 2 | Anti-Slavery Party. | She EGity siorld. ‘ ESTABLISHED BY JOSEPH PULITZER. | Published Dally Except Sunday by the Press Publishing Company, ’ ae NY ioe hee tot pany, Nos, 63 te RALPH PULITZER, President, 2 Park Row, |.

ET New York voters stop and ask themselves anew how it was that a candidate of the salient insignificance of John F. Hylan could be seriously presented for the office of Mayor of New York. Let them ask themselves why an undistinguished lawyer, | whose record is now seen to reveal chiefly his alacrity to serve sordid clients of doubtful character, should be suddenly pushed | forward as a man to be Chief Executive of the biggest city in the TET ETE. a — a Co — He risked his life again and again In border fights to keep Kansas a sons among no-slave State.

Formerly there had been many slaveholders in all the States, Presently the North found slavery unprofitable and quietly gave It up. The South clung to it. a There the matter might have rested indefinitely eoeR and with no great clash between North and South, in’ The Fiasco at $ aoite of John Brown and all the other Abolitionists, Harper's Ferry.3 put the country’s population was spreading. New n> States were constantly admitted to the Unton, and | forever rose the question as to whether or not these new States were to authorize slavery within their borders. | ‘The national situation at best was about as safe ay would be a man smoking a pipe on top of an open powder keg. It remained for John Brown |to knock the first spark into the powder, | ‘The money and the adherents and the reputation that Brown had won by his flerce championship of freedom in Kansas led him to plan @ far more violent blow at slavery. He decided to put an end to “compromise talk” and bring matters to an tasue between North and South. This he Intended to do by setting free all the slaves—by force. With only eighteen men Brown marched upon Harper's Ferry, Va. op Oct. 16, 1859, and took possession of the place. A well-stocked United States arsenal was situated there. Brown seized it. Next he issued a proclamation calling upon negroes to ri |to flock to his leadership, and by armed resistance to wre: |free from slavery. The negroes refused to obey his alluring command. His proclamation fell flat. Brown was stranded, helpless, a failure, but ho held his ground. Technically he was guilty of a capital crime in having seized Govern- nt property and having incited a rebellion. His punishment was swift and overwhelming. \e we A forces of United States marines and Virginia the Torch We militia under Col, Robert E.

Hylan is the, far more formidable force of Murphy grasping at the control of the city. Biding his time, Murphy has patiently watched and waited for signs of discord among the forces combined to keep the City i Hall out of his clutches. | Once satisfied in his own mind that the defenses were weak- } ening, he selected and put forward for the campaign the most obscure, subservient, Tammany-drilled, Murphy-bidden candidate available. The smallness of Hylan is thus inversely = measure of the bigness of Murphy's revived hopes. k The smallness of Hylan is in like manner a measure, for the people of New York, of the completeness with which Murphy t expects to control a municipal administration of which his little man is the head. The smallness of Hylan is a measure of the sinister menace behind the new confidence with which Tammany plans another era of plundering and pillage—a menace against which it becomes the urgent duty of every self-respecting voter to protect the city. i ; TURN ON THE HOSE.
