The riamlnff Arrow at the Park Theater. The patron3 of the Park Theater .were agreeably surprised and well pleased yesterday afternoon and last night with the first two performances of the romantic drama, "The Flamin? Arrow," which will be the attraction for the remainder of the week. The name of the piece Is significant of blood and thunder In a superlative defree, and tho fact that It Is produce! by a company composed chiefly of real live Indians would naturally strengthen the impresioa. But by the time the curtain goe3 down on the last act, the audience begins to realize that there Isn't much In a name after all, and that Indians under certain circumstances can present another phase of character beside that usually depicted in the dime novel- The show ass presented I clean and wholesome, weir staged and has Rome of the best scenic effects presented at the Park this yexr. The scene of the council fire in the tec5nd act is especially fine. The story Is that of an army officer who. disappointed In his love for iais co'onel's daughter, becomes a renegade and flees from the fort to the camp of the Indians, whom he strives to stir up against the whites. Tho better element among the Indians refuse to rise against the whites and join forces with them at the fort. The renegade succeeds In abducting the object of his passion, and he is finally rescued by her Indian lover. White Eagle. Princess Go-Won-Go-Mo-hawk, a true Mohawk Indian girl, in the role of White Eagle. Is warmly applauded for her characterization of the part, as are Chief Ga-Ne-Gue, an Arapahoe Indian, in the role of BJack Eagle, and Chief Kenjockety, a Pawnee Indian, in the part of Moon Dog. chief of the Pawnees. A special feature of t.e show is the Indian government band led by W. IL Xilley, who Is said to be the world's champion bugler. Opening of Zoo To-Morrow. The people are talking about the Zoo that Frank C. Bostock. the animal king, Is to open to-morrow in the old Cyclorama building, at Illinois and 'West Market streets. This talk 13 not confined to any particular locality cr class of people. All seem imbued with the Zoo's merit and worth as a public amusement enterprise. There will be continued exhibitions, lectures and performances from 11 a. m. till 11 p. m. The animals will be fed at 4:30 p. m. and 10:3) p. m. For the past week a large force of workmen have been transforming the old Cyclorama structure into the Zoo apartment, with Its huge circle of steel-bound dens, overhead balcony, massive steel cage for performing wild animals and promenade walk. These" workmen were hard at it all last night and will have the place completed by to-night. Hundreds of dollars have been ppent by Mr. Bostock In making the transformation. A few people perhaps have an Idea that the Zoo will be a repetition of the street carnival. This is erroneous. Mr. Bostock has no less than twenty street-carnival aggregations on the road. All the animals used with these will winter at the Zoo. There will bo constant additions. Captain Bonatita, who was attacked and nearly killed by Denver at the street carnival, will appear in his thrilling act with this ferocious lion, and six others nearly as dangerous. The captain will enter the den with his right arm in a sling, the member not being thoroughly healed as yet. Mr. Bostock tried to have the brave trainer put it off for a while, but he refused, raying tt would be a neglect of duty und a disappointment to the amusement-loving public. He will positively appear in his great lion act to-morrow, every day and every night. Yesterday the kitchen to the Zoo was finished. In this arc prepared the meals for the big army of beasts. Mr. Bostock has aavertised for one hundred horses, which will be used for feeding purposes. To date he has purchased twenty-three, which will last about three weeks. The admission is, lor adults, 23 cents, and for children 15 cents. The management of tho Zoo has decided to place reason tieket3 on bale, for adults $T and children $G, which will entitle purchasers to make as many visits as they like. All tickets will be on sale at Iluder's drusr store. Note of the Singe. Sarah Truax, who announced last season that she would be a star this season, has abandoned the project until next year and accepted a position with the Shubert stock company, Buffalo. XXX J. II. Stoddard is slated for the role of Lachlan Campbell In Kirk La Shelle's production of "The Bonn?. Briar Brush." which will be shown In New York for the first time about Christmas. xxx Booth Tarklngton. the Indianapolis author, has gone to New York to look after the dramatizing of his book. "Monsieur Beaucaire." He will be in conference with Richard Mansfield, who will arrange the details of the drama. xxx Louisville papers say that "William ColJier's new play. "On the Quiet." In which he will be feen at English's the latter part of next week, is full of smart dialogue, genuinely funny situations, and that tho acting is decidedly clever. xxx "Garrett O'Magh" is tho name of tho new play which Augustus Pitou has written for Ohaunrey Olcott. It will le pro, duced at the Fourteenth-street Theater New York. Jan. 7. Mr. Olcott has composed live new songs for the piece. xxx The heltaney In delivery of l!n-s which wan fo noticeable In the etook -nipaiiy performance of this week's double Mil Monday n!ght has practically disappeared Un l ü very smooth rendition Is being given f "Box and C'x" and 'Stilt Waters Ilu Deep." XXX Florenz "leg fehl, jr., has provided both n advance m&n and a press agent for thl reason's tour of his wife, Anna Held, in

"Papa is Wife." Tho Idea Is that a good business man is usually a poor writer, anl a good writer Is generally Ignorant of business matters. xxx The act of Blxley and Hughes, called "The Tramp and the Tough Girl." being performed at the Empire Theater this week. Is like wine or liquor, the older It grows the better It appears to be. The act is one of the hits of the Boyal Burlcsquers. x xx The undoubted minstrel event of the season Is the coining of Primrose and DoekKtader's big company to English's to-morrow .afternoon and night. The advance sale proves that thc?e entertainers of th? jx-ople have not lost their firm hold upon the Indianapolis theatergoing public. It is ?a Id that George Primrose will spring on his friends in this city a brand new and very pleasng scenic and terpslchorean surprise of his own designing. xxx One of the assistants at the James Whitcornb Riley entertainment in Central Music Hall, Chicago, on Monday night, was Mrs. Jessica Whitrldge De Wolf, formerly of Indianapolis. A Chicago paper says of her singing that "an audience is seldom privileged to listen to a concert voice of such purity. Her high notes were taken with exceptional ease, and her smoothness of tone exhibits a marked degree of cultivation. She should be a welcome addition to Chicago musical circles." XXX Mildred Holland, whose play, "Aria, the Musician's Daughter," has been given the title "The Power Behind the Throne" for this season's starring purposes. 13 sending accident policies to all the dramatic writers of the country. With each policy, which is a very elaborately designed affair. Is a letter from her manager, popular Ed White, explaining that Mt?s Holland feels so grateful to the critics for the nice things they have said about her that she wants to present each one with a policy of accident insurance for $100 as a testimonial of her good wishes. Inasmuch as these policies are payable only in case of death, cne cannot help wondering If Miss Holland loves the critics so well that she wants them all killed off. It seems certain that Miss Holland knows vastly more about acting than she does about diplomacy. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mrs. Stubbs, of Richmond, Is visiting Mrs. Walter Stubblns Day. Mrs. Barton W.

TOOK THE CHAMPIONSHIP L U. DEFEATED XOTRE DAME IX A HARD-FOUGHT GAME. Score Was I to O, Trlth Another Gonl Xcnr Several Player Carried niccding from the Field. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. 23. Indiana University's eleven won the state championship here to-day by defeating Notre Dame in one of the fiercest and bloodiest games ever played in Indiana. The final score was 6 to 0, and only the umpire's whistle prevented another touchdown. With one minute to play Indiana had forced the ball to within five yards of Notre Dame's goal. Here the two teams fought and struggled like fiends until the whistle ended the game. So fierce was the play that four of Notre Dame's star players Kuppler, Farragher, Winters and Hays were carried from the field bleeding and almost unconscious. Rucker was the only Indiana player injured. He received a severe sprain to his left leg. A cheering crowd of 1,500 students and other football enthusiasts witnessed the game. When the end came and Indiana had been declared the champions the players were carried from the field and through the streets on the shoulders of the students, headed by a band. The teams lined up at 3:13 o'clock with Wrenn, formerly of Harvard, as referee, and Kelley, of Indianapolis, as umpire, Indiana kicked off to Notre Dame's fifteenyard line. After five minutes of fierce line bucking on the part of Notre Dame the ball was brought to the center of the field, and here the elevens struggled for fifteen minutes, neither gaining an advantage. Time was called repeatedly to administer to the injured players. With renewed vigor Notre Dame, through the excellent work of Captain Farley, Farragher and Llns. carried the ball to Indiana's fifteenyard line. Indiana held for downs, and a long punt by Pike put the sphere in the center of the field again. Here it remained until time was called. In the second half Notre Dame kicked to Indiana's ten-yard line. Steady advances by Indiana put it in the center of the field. At this point came the sensational feature of the game. Teter, Indiana's right half back, secured the ball and made a run of thirty yards, laying like demons, Indiana continued its advances until, after ten minutes play, Hawley was pushed over the line for a touchdown. Hawlcy kicked goal, making the score 6 to 0. During the next five minutes play both teams indulged in fierce line bucking. With one minute to play Pike and Hawley had the ball at Notre Dame's five-yard line, but with almost superhuman efforts Notre Dame struggled. While the line was wavering the whistle blew, ending the game and preventing another touchdown. Indiana's players came out comparatively fresh. Pike's punt of fifty-five yards was a feature. Captain Farley also punted well. Hawley, Sparks. Teter and Clevenger dlj good work for Indiana. The line-up: Indiana. Position. Notre Dame. McGovney Left end Salmon Sparks Left tackle Farragher.

Ed Dunkhorst won from Bill Kennedy in the seventh round of what was to have been a twenty-round contest before the Anderson Athletic Club to-night. The decision was on a foul, the colored man having caught DunkhorFt about the legs after the gong had sounded, throwing him heavily to the floor. Kennedy was not in the flght after the third round. Into the Air. New York Tress. Mr. Bryan's triumphal march to the White House, which began four years ago (to recall the famous description of Early's army when Sheridan pursued it up tho Vhlley of the Shenandoah) as a broad highway and narrowed last election to a shambling bridle path, long ago became a squirrel track and is now about to run up a tree.

LARGE CROWDS OF Cl'IUOlS PEOPLE WHEREVER HE STOPPED. Fifteen Speeches, the Last Six Being: Brief Talk to tho Mannes of Jersey City. JERSEY CITY. N. J., Oct. 25.-'ihe first day of Mr. Bryan's tour of New Jersey, which closed here with six meetings tonight, may be described as a mad rush.. From the time he entered Washington Park, opposite Philadelphia, until ho closed his last meeting here he had made fifteen speeches. The average of their duration was greater than usual. He spoke in succession at Washington Park, Riverside, Burlington, Trenton (twice), Princeton Junction, New Brunswick, Elizabeth, Marion and Jersey City (six times.) His journey through tho State was a surprise to those accompanying Mr. Bryan, if not to lnm. for in few States, if any, has he had larger or more demonstrative audiences. His meeting at Washington Park was almost a record-breaker in both of these respects, and his meetings in Trenton and his reception in this city were only second to the Washington Park meeting in numbers and in feeling displayed. Probably no candidate for the presidency was ever so much jostled about and pushed around in one day's time as Mr. Bryan was to-day. At some stopping places tho police found it impossible to protect him from the hundreds, not to say thousands, of persons who thronged his pathway and followed him wherever he went. "I have addressed a great many meetings of college boys, but I never had a nicer meeting than this in my life." This was what Mr. Bryan said to a number of the Princeton College boys who had followed him to his train from his meeting place at Priuccton Junction this afternoon. He arrived at the junction at half-past 5 and spoke from a slightly raised stand on the green in the rear of the railroad station. Included in the audience were from 1,000 to 1.500 of the students of Princeton College, which Institution is located three miles distant from the junction. The meeting was one of the most orderly that Mr. Bryan has had In his whole campaign tour. Thcro was not an interruption from beginning to end. When Mr. Bryan arrived he was greeted with the college yell, and there were similar demonstrations made on his departure. His address there was entirely to the students. SPEECH TO STUDENTS. Mr. Bryan was introduced as the next President of the United States. Replying to it, he said: "You are not compelled" to believe all that a presiding officer says. You are not compelled to accept me as the next President, or as ever a President, but I want you to believe me to be interested in all those things that mako for the good of our country, and if l am mistaken in my judgment 1 know you will give me the credit that I shall give you though I know many of you differ from me the credit of trying to find what is right and doing vhat I believe to be right, regardless of the temporary consequences that may follow. 1 want you to consider that in this Nation is monopoly, and that it is rapidly approaching an industrial despotism. I want you to consider whether it is well for a free government to have its industries collected under the management of a few men, so that the rest of the people will receive their dally bread at the hands of these few. Many of you are preparing yourselves for the legal profession, but you will find under the system of monopoly that the law business of the country will gravitate towards the offices of tho great corporation attorneys, while the rest of the lawyers will be law clerks in the offices of those attorneys. You will find that as monopoly increases the chance of the young man becomes less, and when you take away the hope that has inspired him in the past you render him a less effective man. This Nation Is the greatest nation In tho world, because here there is more hope for the young man. Here life is before the young man; there is no class distinction; there is no caste. In this country the ton of the humblest citizen may aspire to the highest rewards in the industrial and political world, but under an Industrial despotism you take away the prospect of Independence, and tinder this system you will find that political despotism will follow, for when one employer can coerce thousands of employes and threaten them with idleness ani starvation unless they vote the ticket the employer favors, you will find a government of the people, by the people and f.ov the people will be a thing of the past. THE "COLONIAL SYSTEM " "I want to call your attention also to the system which is now being proposed by the Republicans, known as the colonial system. One of our great institutions of learning has established in the college a department for instruction for dealing with our dependencies and colonies. Yous men, we have never had colonies before, and history teaches that republics cannot have colonics, ani when we have reacneel the point where we want colonies we have reached the point where we do not have a republic. You cannot have one idea here and another idea in tho Orient. Governments cannot come up from the people and in the Philippine islands come out of the mouth of tho cannon." Mr. Bryan then ridicujed the destiny argument, saying that that idea would make a chicken thief out of a man provided he is near enough to the hen coop to grab the chickens. He said that this country as a republic has achieved more glory than all the empires of the world combined during the last ten decades and that without a large army and large navy. The Brunswick meeting was the first of a long scries held after nightfall. The meeting was held in a public square in the center of the city and was vey largely attended. There was no great degree of enthusiasm manifested while Mr. Bryan was arguments. REMEDY FOR TRUSTS. Mr. Bryan's speech at' Philadelphia was made from the balcony of the Times office. At Washington Park, N. J., he repeated former charges against the trusts. He also stated that those who had read the Kansas City platform need not ask how he stood on the silver question. At Trenton he denounced private monopoly as both dangerous and contrary to the moral law. He added: "The trust magnate who uses a monopoly as a means for extortion Is upon the same moral plane as a highwayman who goes out at night with his club and brains men and takes their money away from them: and when the Republican party permits the monopoly to exist it amends tho commandment and make; it read Thou phalt not steal on a small scale." " Continuing, in Fi?aking of his remedy for trusts, Mr. Hryan said: I am almost cfrald to. suggest the remedy down hert?, for if we succeed In squeezing the water out of the Nw Jersey corporations yon win have a tidal wave xreater than that at talking, but a majority of tho assemblage rushed alter his carriage to the train and gave him a most demonstrative escort. In front of Mr, Bryan and only a few feet distant, was u monument erected to some of the victims of the Maine disaster. In his speech Mr. Bryan referred to the monument, and to. the Cuban war, paying: "You have lure a monument erected to the memory of those who went Uuwn with

the Maine. We entered the Spanish war on a high plane, but did not maintain that plane to the end. For myself, I protest against a toboggan slide from a war of humanltj' down to a war of conquest. If the good Samaritan had found a man beaten und bruised, had taken and healed him and had then said, after looking him over. 'This is a likely fellow and I think I will take him and own him,' the Bible would never have mentioned the act. Yet that is our attitude In our relations with the Filipino." At Elizabeth there was a stop of thirty minutes. Mr. Bryan spoke for about twenty minutes but he did not advance any new Galveston. You will have a flood for a while, but you will have honest corporations afterwards. , Why should corporations organized in New Jersey be permitted to prey on the whole country? Why should corporations organized In this State be lcrmitted to enter into Interstate commerce until it first shows that it is going out to do a legitimate business and not going out as a highwayman? I believe that if you will provide, first, that a corporation shail have the water squeezed out and. second, that it shall show that it is not trying to monopolize any branch of business, and then provide for a revocation of the license t the conditions are violated, I believe you could destroy every private monopoly engaged in interstate commerce and prevent the creation of new ones. I am not worrying about these corporations confined to the State, for if the corporation preys on the people of the State and on them alone I am willing to leave the people to tight it out with their local corporation, and let it live as long as they have anything for the corporation to eat. But when a corporation leaves a State and goes into other States I am not willing to leave It to thv State. I am not willing to put forty-four States at the mercy of a trust merely because it hires one State to let it stay ther-i whllo it plunders the other forty-four. But if we ever get our law into operation you will be more anxious to kill trusts than m any other State in this Union, because they will all turn round and eat you, for you will be the only thing in eight that they can get at." Referring to the Philippines he said: "I would rather the Filipinos would live and love us than that we should sell coffins to them when they die hating us." Referring to the possibilities of carpetbag government in the . Philippines Mr. Bryan said: "If we begin to embezzle 200 miles away from home, as we have done In Cuba, our peculations are liable to amount to grand larceny when we get 7,000 miles away. They say," he went on, "that they will treat our colonies as England treats hers. God forbid." DON'T BET, BRYAN SAYS. Closing his speech Mr. Bryan made an earnest appeal for campaign work until the close of the campaign, and asked his supporters not to bet on results, saying In part: "If you have any money to spare, but It in the campaign fund instead of betting with it. Do not try to beat the Republicans at their game. When you bet, you bet your money; when a trust magnate bets, he bets other people's money. A newspaper friend of mine gave some good advice the other day. He told the Democrats that if they would put their money in the campaign fund they would get satisfaction enough out of the successes to make them willing to spend the money that way, and if we lost it was no gratification to give the Republicans Democratic money as well as a victory in this campaign. We cannot go to the great corporations and ask them to contrioute, because we do not Intend that they should make It back out of the people. We have got to make the people's fight, and you who are interested in this light ought to support the fight, not only with ypur votes, but with your work, and with the money that you can spare." Mr. Bryan's outdoor meeting In Trenton was a success, both in point cf attendance and enthusiasm on the part of the crowd. At this point he spoke standing in his carnage and said: " am willing to risk the issues of this campaign in the hands of the American people. If to-morrow morning the voters were permitted to go to the polls and write on their ballots their opinions on the questions before the country, with no one to intimidate, I have no doubt that we would carry this country by a popular majority such as no ticket has ever received in the United States. The only question, to my mind, is, what effect will be produced by the coercion that is now being attempted by those who stand at the head of great corporations. Whenever your employer tells you that you will lose your job if you vote for me, you tell him that if the country is half as prosperous as he says it is you ought to be able to find another job very soon; but if there is no place, for a man to work if he loses the job he now has, there Is no prosperity- In this country to boast of. "I ask you when will you bo stronger to fight this battle than you are now? If, after all this period of boasted prosperity, you have not laid up enough money to stand an idleness of a - week, don't you think you had better vote for some party that will give you a better chance than that to lay up something for a rainy day?" Mr. Bryan made his tour of Jersey City to-night in a barouche drawn by four spirited black horses, and he was escorted by a marching club of several hundred young men. The tour covered a wide range of territory and did not come to an end until near midnight. NO PERSON WAS KILLED

EXPLOSION AT INDIAN HEAD WAS WITHOUT LOSS OF LIFE. Tlucc Building Containing About $30,000 Worth of Government Powder Were Destroyed. WASHINGTON, Oct. 23. At 8 o'clock this morning Admiral O'Neill, chief of the Ordnance Bureau of the Navy Department, received a telephonic message from the proving ground at Indian Head, saying that about 10 o'clock last night a fire and several explosions occurred in one of the filling houses and magazines. The cause of the explosion is unknown at present, but an investigation is in progress now. No other damage was done and no one was injured. The building where the first explosion occurred is technically known as "cartridges," being a place where the brass shells, which are used in the small caliber rapid-firing guns, are filled with powder. It is distant about half a mile from the wharf where the boats land, and from that point where the armor-plate test occurs. Within a hundred feet on one side and about three hundred on the other are two other buildings, one designated on the official map "magazine," and the other marked "dark." These buildings are used for powder storage. Within the three buildings were stored about fifteen thousand tons of brown powder and ten tons of smokeless powder. The latter, when not closely confined, under pressure, is not explosive, but creates a vast flame, and Admiral O'Neill thinks it was the fire blaze In the smokeless burning powder which gave rise to the belief that a great accident had occurred at Indian Head. , Not more than a thousand feet distant from the powder houses stand the residences of half a dozen employes at the proving grounds, and their families. None of the people was injured. The big powder factory, representing a large expenditure of government money, was never in danger from the fire and explosion. It was between two and three miles distant in a straight line from the scene of the disaster, with the hills lying between. The loss is estimated by Admiral O'Nell at betweem $25,1":) and $20,000 on powder and ammunition. The loss to the buildings Is considered trifling.

CROKER IS DICTATOR

HE IS THE REAL PARAMOUNT ISSUE IN THE EMPIRE STATE. Already Wields More Power Than Some Kin km, nml Control More Patronage Than Many. WOULD EXTEND HIS DOMAIN HIS ALLIANCE WITH W. J. BRYAN FOR NO GOOD PURPOSE. Methods of the .Man Who Utiles City and Part of the Stnte with Consent of the Governed. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Mr. CrDkc: looms up as the most striking figure of the year. Whatever may be the result of the presidential election and whether New York goes for Bryan or for McKkdey, his rtatus as dictator of the Democratic organization of New York State and city is Taed. His control of the state Democracy Is less autocratic than his rule of the city organization, but it is nevertheless so clearly established that all effective opposition ha3 been swept away, and after tho 0th of November, as now, he will be in undisputed command of an army of nearly three-quar ters of a million voters. Up the State Croker is detested by tens of thousands of loyal Democrats who will vote th-j Democratic ticket, but what docs ha care for that? They may dislike him ever so much, yet they have no choice between the tickets he may name and th3 -polios he may frame and voting for the Republican candidate, subscribing to Republican platforms and affiliating with an Organization with which thay have nothing in sympathy. Mr. Croker affords a curious character sludy. lis is one of the most remarkable men of his day, a fact which must be recognized, for he is at this moment and Will ccnt.'rue to be for an indefinite period iu suprena control of the greitest community in Ameiica and one of the greatest aggregations of human beings in the world. He is the virtual disbmeT of revenues amounting to $100,000,000 m year, a mn greater than was required to pay the expense? of the entire government forty years ago. Hi controls the patronage involving the direct c.nployment of. 73,000 men. The kings of finance on Wall street not les than the numblest rounrtsmiui pay him homage ar.d court his favor. People weinder at his power and at his ability to maintain hhu3cll in a position iht requires tact as well as tremendous focj of i haractcr, and that must carry with It ability of a hfgli reler. Without thee m combination no man could gain the position reached by Croker aad hold it. It Is no uncommon thing Tor men to Attain placej of commanding inflr.enco by accident, hut no one thus accidenMriy created can keep himself in tho saudlo year after year and to conJuct himself that ho is stronger at the end of tvery twelve months than at the beginning. ' WHEN CROKER WAS POOR, Yet it was only ten or twelve years ago that a casual acquaintance met Dick Croker on an unfrecmented uptown street at 2 o'clock in the morning and wrung from him the confession that he was walking the streets because be hadn't the money to pay for lodgings in a first-class hotel, and couldn't afford to put up at a cheap house, because by go doing: he would be letting, himself down at a time when he was struggling for position and when a "front" counted lor everything with "the gang." At that time Croker was playing for the leadership he soon after took, and he could not show weakness anywhere alonrr the line. The men he was training with and the men he must rely upon to put him m command only understood the leadership lorce and Croker had to make an impression on them as occupying a plan of absolute independence of small things and utter freedom from every species cf worldly embarrassment. "Some day," he tald, "I will make these fellers jump sidewise, but I must be patient I cannot afford to make mistakes." In those days he made few mistakes. There are those who say that in these later days he is not so careful, and that the rope he is giving himself will eventually hang him. That may be so, but at this writing his position heems to b.e more secure than ever before. No czar's . commands are obeyed with more implicit and unquestioning obedience within the borders of his jurisdiction and no czar's power to punish is more clearly defined than his. There is where Croker succeeds where others failed. He has the power to punish, and he does punish with a ruthlessness few men hava dared to exercise. Bosses have set tip be fore him in New York city and have fallen down because of lack of nerve or an understanding that they must at times be brutal in this community to command obedience and maintain discipline. Other bosses have tried to Imitate Tammany methods in other cities, but the men under them could not be held to such strict accountability as the Tammany army, and one after another fell down. This has teen attempted in Chicago, in St. Ixmls. in Cincinnati, in Cleveland, in Philadelphia in Baltimore, and in every community of consequence, yet in none of these place. has a man been big enough to hold undisputed personal sway for long periods. The elder Carter Harrison in Chicago came nearer being supreme than any boss of a large city, but he was even more remarkable in his way than Croker is after thi Croker fashion. He was sui generis. He had no predecessor and left no heir. There is one thing about Croker which people must understand before they can know the man. He believes thoroughly that the business in which he is engaged is perfectly legitimate. He believes it is proper and honorable for men to make money out of politics as honorable as it is to run a bank or a pulpit. Even Bird S. Coler. who is in most people's minds as the man who will cventualy unhorse Croker and break his political back, cheerfully gives the Tammany chieftain credit for that kind of honesty. Mr. Croker thoroughly believes that he is perfectly justifiable in using his tremendous power to help his friends, and that it is only right and proper that there should be reciprocity In this kind of dealing. In the days of Boss Tweed the fashIon among the Tammany leaders was to give and take bribes, thereby defrauding the taxpayers by processes vulgar as housebreaking or holding up a man In the street and taking his purse from him. Now things are done in an entirely different way. Big money In New York has been made in the exploitation of the utilities required in a community of nearly .V,,) souls. These utilities include surface and elevated railroads, telephone and telegraph service, the conduit systems, gas. light and heating systems and a thousand and one? things that it Is needless to enumerate, but for which people are continually paying money, and in the handling of which gr-at fortunes have been made and are being made. HOW HE GOT RICH. What is more natural than for capitalists or combinations of capitalists wanting franchises from tho city to make their arrangements with the man who controls the municipal machinery. He knows what can be done and what cannot be done. He can tell promoters and others how it, tan bo done and who ought to be taken care of in ach transaction. Incidentally he or his friends are. put Into "the gool things' engineered by the capitalists behind the various schemes, and In order to further gtmrantc abiding interest in the welfare of the backers they may also be put into many collateral "good things' not necessarily connected with city matters. Croker is the channel through which all big tuinrsi affecting the public interests of New York must pass. He in the fountain source of pontic J power in tho community, and to

him everybody must go, cither in person or through his recognized representatives. Long ago Richard Croker established his reputation for strict personal integrity. H carries out to the letter and in pplrit every contract he makes and literally hi? word is as good as any man's lond. Thoe who do business with him, hUh or low. understand that when Croker gives his word they can bank on it to the utmost limit, feeling bee uro that hi promises will bo made good whatever they may le. Everybody who has to do with leplslati jn, whether it le local. State or national, unelcrstands the value of tUth a record. They understand also how rare it is that men can b.? found who enjoy this peculiar rating and in whom those who ask and bestow favor can place reliance. Such men are the evolution, the product of stirring periods. They seem to be created to meet certain emergencies in the affairs of men. The political machinery controlled by Croker Is the p?rfe-ction of commercialism in politics. Tammany Society has a membership of something like 00mO. It controls the action of live times that many men and votes n drilled and disciplined army of quite 3o. This Is within the limits of Greater New York. Incidentally as many more men have to take what Tammany offers or go into the camp of the opposition. Not far from &0,'.O names are on the payrolls of the city and half as many more are employed by contractors doing work for the city. In round amounts $l2.u00.0CO is paid out annually for the maintenance of the police department, Jj.f-V.üoü for the fire department. $3.000.0eO for treet cleaning, $).000.0"0 for the bureau of public "ouildinRs, for lighting and for keeping up the parks. About $l4.t0,iJ is paid in fchoo! salaries and $2,r.oo,0Co for the physical maintenance of schools. A standing army of 10,0 policemen elo Croker's bidding with the unquestioning obedience of that number of regular soldiers. On election day 20,000 men under pay are employed to see that the Democratic votes gets out and goes to the polls. That is in addition to the unpaid members of Tammany Socley, every man of whom is supposed to be out and hunting. If he Is not in evidence the district leaders i'nd out why and the reason has to be a good one. Every election campaign costs the Democratic organization of New York city about $4xt.OXi. The amount expended this year is vastly in excess of that and runs close to $1.0"".00. In running Now York Croker docs not always think to ask the consent of the governed. In fact he thinks very little about it. He feels that he knows what is best for the governed to have and is perfectly willing to rely on the correctness of his judgment. He goes on the theory that the voters Indorse him and arprove of his methods. According to his philosophy they would throw him out if it were otherwise. That consciousness has given him the nerve to mark up disbursements for Greater New York within a period of three years of from JTO.OCO.OOO to $100,000.000. Some day when the burden gets too heavy the taxpayers will revolt and throw him into the river but from all appearances he has yet many years to rule. i W. G. NICHOLAS.

REPUBLICANS ROBBED NATIONAL C03IM1TTEE ALLEGED TO HAVE LOST 9100cOOO II. 31. Cook Chnrsed with Fortin rj Clieclka and I'aasliiMT Them Tiiroagh out Aev York Slate. i NEW YORK, Oct. 23. Operating under the cloak of agents of the Republican campaign committee rogues have succeeded In obtaining probably $1G0,X0 on forged checks in this city and through the State. Their method of operation is ghown in the case of H. M. Cook, who is under arrest on the charge of passing bogus checks bearing the name of M. L. Muhlcman, treasurer of the Republican national campaign committee. Cook, it Is alleged, induced William J. Wright to deposit checks purporting to represent $1,100 to his account in the Mount Morris Bank. These all boro Muhlcman's name. Cook explained that they were contributions to the Republican fund, and the committee, not desiring to let the amount of the subscriptions be generally known, had arranged to casn th checks in different banks. Wright gave Cook $1.190 in caslu and a few days aeo the prisoner, appeared again with $1,700 in checks. The bank officials began an investigation and found that the checks had been forged. Other bimilar transactions have been reported from the interior which lead to the supposition that the total ree'eipts by the forgeries will not fall short of ?l00.O.0. Treasurer Cornelius N. Bliss, of the national committee, says that Cook had no connection with that body. Mr. Bliss ald Cook was once associated with a subtrcasury oiliclal and once had undertaken to organize a political literary bureau, and In that way had secured letters from the members of the committee. On the strength of these letters the man obtained ' funds. The sum of VJoO had been traced to him. Mr. Bliss said. He believes the real tum obtained by Cook is greater. TRICKY D0DGEE. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) blaze of light, while thousands of peopl thronged the streets. The auditorium where the specchmaklng was held and the square where the outside meeting took place were both much too Fmall to accommodate those who desired to hear Governor Roosevelt. In Auburn three meetings had to l held to accommodate the people. It was at this place that the first serious Interruption of the day occurred. The Governor had started at the first meeting upou an exposition of the trut question. Dur Ing his remarks a man in the upper gallery cried out, "Hurrah for Bryan!' Why?" retorted the Governor, squaring himself toward the place from whenc the cry came and pausing for a reply, whlcri was not made. "He does not know," said the Governor. "It means Just about that grade of intelligence." The Governor iald. referring to question of expansion: in this city Mr. Bryan actually dared to appeal to the memory of Seward. I wonder, well, I don't wonder at Mr. Bryan, but under any other conditions I should wonder at any man making that appeal and forgetting that one of the greatest services that Mr. Seward rendered to this country was when, under his guidance, this country expanded over Alka, and it expanded without the consent of the governed there" "How about Metcalf?" came the Interruption. "Metcalf?" said the Governor, in a puzzled tone. Then remembering that Mr. Metcalf was president of the 1. M. esborne machine shops and had threatened to fhut down if Mr. Bryan was elected, ho Faid: ".Metcalf is all riKht. If Mr. Bryan was half as right he would le fortunate." "How about the canals?" came from the galltry before the Governor could proceed. 1 will answer you once for all," t-aid the Governor; "do you man in this State?" "Ye-s," came back the reply. "I answer," fald the Gove rnor, "that they are administered with absolute honesty and eificieney, as you know, if you know anything about tbem." After addressing an immense outdoor gathering at Syracue Governor Roosevelt proceeded to the opera house, where he talked for an hour, touching moht of the issues involve!, but dwelling particularly on trusts and military matters.
