A vote for Holtzman Is a vote to set the city back a few years. Advice of Senator Beveridge to Republicans: "When in doubt, stand by your party." Stahl ought, by all means, to be in the vicinity somewhere to observe the outcome. And the Citizens' League? Well, if It has accomplished anything, It will very soon regret itVote the straight Republican ticket by placing the X in the-eagle circle and nowhere else. All the Holtzman promises will be forgotten by those that made them next week, no matter who Is elected. "Do men gather grapes of thorns or figs f thistles?" Do they get municipal reform out of a Democratic victory? A vote for Holtzman Is a vote for a return to the old Democratic methods of a big floating debt and heavy Interest charges. No person ever heard of Oliver P. Morton or Benjamin Harrison going outside of the Republican party In search of municipal reform. One of the crying needs of the city is a newset cf reformers men that will not let notions of personal revenge run away with their Judgment. A vote for Holtzman Is a vote for the same insolent rule of gamblers and dive keepers we had under the Sullivan and Taggart administrations. There Is no particular occasion for con fusion of the Issues. The nominations are all straight party affairs and the issue is the old, old one between Republican and Democratic rule. The elevation of the new Marquis of Salisbury to the British Cabinet was a very adroit move on the part of the present Min Istry. Names count for a good deal more In England than they do here. For a job lot of "campaign lies." a vast and varied assortment of roorbacks, a fresh Importation of canards, a strictly new coinage of cock-and-bull stories and a big bargain counter full of mare's nests see the News cf yesterday. People that seek to gather figs from thistles or "go to the goat's house for wool" have stood for centuries as types of foolishness, but they are wise la comparison with those that go to Keach. Holt, roister "and Holtzman for municipal reform. Th high praise given Col. Harry B. Smith by the umpires In the Kentucky maneuvers is-very gratifying to his friends In Indiana. He has richly deserved it by his long and arduous work In the effort to bring his regiment up to a high degree of military excellence. If you attempt to vote for a friend or two on some other than the Republican ticket you run a strong chance of losing your vote by mismarklng your ballot. The safest plan Is to vote the straight Republican ticket by placing the X in the circle with the eagle device. There has never been in Indianapolis a campaign that excited more interest throughout tho State than the on: closing with the election to-day and many of the out-of-town newspapers show a much clearer view of the Issues at stake than one would Imagine, after the tremendous efforts that have ben made to becloud them. A voice from the tombs comes in the form of an interview with Hon. John II. Reagan, x-member of the United States Congress, raiib'r of the Confed-rate Congress, cxpostmaster general of the Confederate States, and "ex" several other offices. Mr. Reagan, who has Just entered on his eightysixth year, sees nothing ahead of tho United . nute but the blackness of darkness. Ho predicts" the fall of the Republic, followed by a monarchy, and thinks that when the final break-up comes Texas will be the hope of the world. "I want Texas to tx bis ncusU to stand alone." he says, "to b anc

more the Republic of Texas -when tho dissolution of . the Union shall come." Mr. ."Reagan's digestion. la evidently very much impaired, ; . VOTE THE. TICKET. The outcome) of this most peculiar municipal campaign will be determined by the vote to-day. and it is the duty of every citizen to vote, and to vote for the party nnd candidates from whom he has reason to hope for tho best results. This peculiarity of tho campaign does not lie in a mixture of tickets the nominations are straight Democratic, Republican and Prohibition, and nobody but members of these parties has had any voice in the making of the- party tickets. People outside the

city and the historian of a;few years hence will not take much account of the details. To them the contest will be a Republican victory, a Democratic victory or a Prohibition victory, as the case may be; and they will be right about It. History has shown over and over again that in Indianapolis, as elsewhere, it is the party and the party Influences behind tho man that shape the course of government. . One of the peculiarities of the campaign has been an appeal to a large element of Republicans supposed to be dissatisfied by the Democratic party, after nominating a purely Democratic ticket, headed by a more or less prominent member of the cans of Democratic politicians who have fattened off the taxpayers of this city and county In past years to the great detriment of the community morally and financially. Another, and a very striking one, has been the remarkable amount of misrepresentation and of personal abuse hurled at the mayor by people claiming respectability and appealing to respectable citizens in the name of reform. The reason for this has been the purely negative character of the campaign. Failing utterly in their efforts to get the Democratic party to nominate a man of good record and respectable political antecedents, they have been unable to say anything good of the Democratic candidate and have thus been driven to abuse of the Republican nominee for an argument. The Journal has not at any point, either before or during the campaign, hesitated to tell the people the whole truth, and it believes now that It is serving their best interests by advising them to vote the Republican ticket as It stands. WAGEWORKER AND CAPITALIST. Mr. Mitchell says in his forthcoming book on organized labor: "The average wageworker has made up his mind that he must remain a wagewofker. He has given up the hope of a kingdom to come where he himself may be a capitalist." This is rather a surprising statement to come from a man generally so level-headed as Mr. Mitchell, and if he were called upon to defend it in detail he would probably find it difficult to do so. It is not characteristic of his general clearness of vision, nor is it sustained by the developments of daily experience. The pur port of the statement is that American wageworkers have become a class who have no hope of bettering their condition or of getting on and up in the world. Thi3 may be true of wageworkers in some other countries where class distinctions prevail and where the obstacles to a man rising above his so-called class are almost Insuperable, but It Is certainly not here in this country. Mr. Mitchell seems to have made the mistake of borrowing a foreign'idea and applying it to American conditions. No doubt there are many wageworkers in this country who have no hope or expectation of ever rising above that condition, but the fault Is their own more than that of social conditions. The opportunities for an American wageworker to become a capitalist or an employer are as great to-day as they ever were. The door and the way are still open for those who know how to utilize them, and many do utilize them. A large majority of the successful manufacturers and employers in the United States to-day have risen from the ranks of wageworkers. To accomplish this there must, of course, be individual ability and ambition, and force of character enough to adhere to habits which bring success, but lack of this equipment does not argue anything against our labor system. If Mr. Mitchell meant that the average American wageworker is Incapable of rising above that condition he should have said so plainly, Instead of Implying condemnation of our great system. But ho would scarcely venture that assertion. Just what he means by "the average wageworker" is not clear, but It ia notorious that wageworkers by hundreds and thousands do become employers and capitalists. His statement Is a very loose one, to say the least, and one In refutation of which a great many cases within his own knowledge could be cited. CONTROLLER TRACEWELL UXDER , FIRE. It Is said that Controller Tracewell, of the Treasury Department, has incurred the displeasure of the President under the special report recently made by Messrs. Charles J. Bonaparte and Holmes Conrad regarding the Tulloch charges. These charges reflected oh the auditor of the treasury for the Postoffice Department and on the Controller of the Treasury for al- j leged laxity In passing the accounts of the j Washington city postoffice and certain officials of the Postcflice Department. Messrs. Bonaparte and Conrad are lawyers of high standing and they were Instructed to make a thorough investigation and fearless report concerning the matters referred to in Tulloch's statement. He charged that certain officials of the Postoffice Department had had certain unauthorized expenses connected with the Cuban mall service charged up against the Washington City postoffice, and that the accounting officers had allowed some of these expenses contrary to law, having been Influenced thereto by the instructions or persuasion of the Postoffice Department officials. In the regular course of business the accounts would first be passed upon by the auditor of the treasury for the Postoffice Department and would then be ret viewed by the controller. Of course they have no right to allow any claim or charge that is not authorized by law, and If such a claim is allowed by the auditor. It is the duty of tho controller, who is his superior officer, to disallow It. Tulloch's statement did not charge or imply any dishonesty on the part of the accounting officers, but that they had yielded, p the personal Influence of Postoffico Department officials In passing unauthorized claims, thereby committing a technical violation of law. The auditor. Captain Castle, resigned a few days ago, and It Is said the President was disposed to insist on th rcsu4tiou 0f Controller TracowelL but that

the secretary of the treasury was unwilling to part with so valuable an of.clal. Controller Tracewell is an Indiana man and has been controller of the treasury for many years. He has a fine record and in far above the suspicion of intentional wrong. He has passed upon accounts aggregating hundreds of millions of dollars, and his integrity has never been Questioned. If he has made an erroneous ruling In this case it was an error of judgment caused by too great courtesy towards officials In another department, in a matter In which it might be supposed they had discretionary authority. The Bonaparte-Conrad report has not been made public, and It Is not known to what extent it censures the accounting officers. If It censures the controller In any degree whatever, it will place him in an unfortunate position, for the President will be strongly inclined to stand by the report. The following bits of political wisdom, ep-

igrammatically expressed, are culled from a speech delivered in Chicago a few nights ago by ex-Governor Black, of New York: A cause which means righteousness and progress in the world at large means the same thing in Chicago or New York, and whoever weakens that cause by aiding those who would destroy it, or tying the hands of those who would sustain it, is not its friend. This may seem a plea for partisanship. I so intend It. Every great chapter in the world has been written by a partisan. Every great deed which courage and devotion could perform the partisan has done. Every crisis that has raised a front so terrible and threatening that only the best and bravest could hope to win the partisan has met. Partisanship is nothing but conviction, and without conviction man wanders with neith er star nor compass. - lie may cover nimseu wun tne ckkik. u. nonpartisanshlp, but noupartlsanshlp is the disguise which ambition always wears when it travels under an assumed name. If politics is sometimes the scorn of sober minds she owes her degradation no more to those who have befou'ed her with the roughness of assault than to those who, by acclaiming virtues they uever had, have gained her favor. Some may construe this as simply a defense of partisanship, but m reality It Is good political philosophy. In a government by parties, where one must necessarily represent good government; in a higher degree than the other, loyalty to the party of prog ress and reform means loyalty to the government. This applies to a municipal as well as to a state or national election. The probability is that there will be a great many scratched tickets of both parties, a fact which will naturally require a long time in making the count, under the Australian system and slnco percentages of gain or loss figured from scattered precincts will count for little or nothing, it will probably be much later than usual before the result can be accurately guessed. A most Interesting feature of the election will be the use of voting machines in ten different precincts. It Is the general expectation that the count from these ten precincts will be in very early, since the machines do their own additions as fast as the votes are cast. -The idea of any one going to the Bible for justification for a vote for Bookwalter could only have occurred to a paper that is uncertain even as to the exact name of its owner and proprletor.The News. The name of the Journal's "owner and proprietor" is tolerably well known in Indianapolis, whero he lives and pays taxes and votes better known, possibly, than Is

that of the "owner and proprietor" of the eral for the Postofflcev Department, has gone opened, and it is the nearest to ElNews, whose paper, under his long-distance to Cincinnati to attend the trial of Daniel w'inc: birtsix mile Jway. The numns are

orders, from his home in another State, is engaged in blackguarding and libeling citizens of the town from which his income is derived, and injuring the reputation of that town. In the opening speech of hla- campaign for re-election last Saturday night Mayor Low, of New York, recalled "some of the infamies which Tammany administrations had put upon the city and said: Such things 5o not recur accidentally. They repeat themselves because the nature of Tammany Hall does not change. Like causes produce like results, and the Tammany germ Inevitably breeds municipal disorder and municipal corruption, precisely as the smallpox bacillus produces smallpox. Substitute Taggartlsm and Democracy for Tammany and this fits the local situation. THE HUMORISTS Enough Said. Atlanta Constitution. "Is dey anything In de roun worl sweeter dan possum?"

New Wells Will Be Connected with the Pipe Line Very Soon. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBYVILLE. Ind., Oct. 12. The. new gas wells drilled by the Southern Indiana Gas Company this season in Shelby and Hancock counties will be connected with the main line within the next few weeks. The company's pipes, which were laid between Philadelphia and Cumberland, in -Hancock county, were taken up last week by the firm of Bevllle & Payne, of Cleveland. These pipes will be placed In the ground below Fountaintown to connect the new wells in that vicinity with the main line of the company, which comes to this city. This means that the former patrons in the vicinity or Cumberland will not be supplied by this company any longer. Three sets of tools are still at work In the field sinking new wells, and two more sets will be put to work. Good Gas Well Drought In. special to tne Indianapolis journal. ELWOOD, Ind., Oct. 12.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY. Ind., Oct. 12. The amalgamation scheme of the two factions of L. A. 300 or the Window Glass Workers' Union is said to be a plan invented by the American Window Glass Company or trust to unite the workers and then prevent the starting of the independent window glass plants. The American's plan is said to be to delay a start until it Is enabled to dispose of the stock of glass it has on hand that was made by the human blowers. It is now operating twelve machine-equipped factories of nearly 800 pots capacity and turning out a vast amount of glass made at almost 50 per cent, less cost than that made last year by the human blowers. Many of the workmen are aware of the trusts plan and will not only refuse to vote for amalgamation, but will go to work at the first opportunity. Many of the independent and co-operative concerns will make an attempt to start this week before the amalgamation plan can be carried. The window gless flatteners employed In the American Window Glass Company's machine equipped plant here, designated as factory No. 3, have demanded a guarantee for their work. The flatteners have been paid by the number - of unbroken rollers that they flatten and they claim that the machine product Is so brittle that it is almost impossible to flatten it, and therefore are asking a guarantee.

FEATURE OF THE REiilL.lu a" 3IAXEUVERS AT CAMP YOCXG. ... -VI-.... T?l..t Gans of tne iirown rorcc in Position nnd Action, nnd Retarded Advance of the Bines. AN INTEKESTING PROBLEM WHICH WAS WOUIvKU uu s.i w LONG AND TORTUOUS DEFILE. Advance of the Brown Invaders . Har assed by. the Rear Guard of the Retreating; Bine Army. CAMP YOUNG, WEST POINT, Ky., Oct 12. To-day's maneuvers, participated in solely by regulars, was an Interesting one, the problem being one devised to fit a peculiar local condition. The plans of Colonel Wagner, chief umpire, called for the pas sage of a long and tortuous defile by a force acting as the advance of the Invad ing Brown army, the attempt to be resisted by the rear guard of the retreating Blue army. The mam ooaies wnicn tnese lurces represented were imaginary. The Blue rear guard was acting under orders to ira npdft'and harass the Brown advance as much as possible without bringing on a se rious engagement and being cut oh. from the main command. The Blue rear guard, consisting of a regi ment of infantry, a squadron or cavalry and four field pieces, during the course of the engagement, succeeded in delaying the advance of the Brown force to such an ex tent that It was about two hours before the last of the Brown advance got clear of the defile. This would hardly have been a sufficient impediment in actual warfare. The Brown force, consisting of two bat talions of infantry, a regiment of cavalry and four field pieces, made rather quick work of it. The Brown artillery was very well managed and by quick work succeeded in taking a position commanding the Blue forces cn the plain below where the defile opens. The guns were put Into action before the Blue artillery could answer from a rather poor position, but despite this fact the duel between the field pieces lasted lor nearlv an hour. In actual warfare the Brown artillery,-' by reason of Its position, should have been able to prevent the Blue guns from taking position and opening fire, but this point was in some way overlooked and the Blue guns allowed to remain in action. The losses ou each side were compar atively light, as aajuagea by the um pires. General Joseph Wheeler arrived at camp to-day to be the guest of General Bates until the latter leaves for Ft. Riley, which probably will be on W ednesday. Major Buck commanded the Blue forces in to-day's action and Major Geddy the Brown. 9IARCIIIXG TO FORT RILEY.

FROM FIRST PAGE.) country. If Manchuria becomes annexed to Russia or continues under Russian con trol the United States will Insist that the provisions of the treaty be carried out. espe cially as Russia assented to its provisions previous to its being signed. A copy of the treaty was sent to the Russian govern ment and this government received assurance that no matter what happened to Manchuria, Russia would not object to the treaty being made with China or to the enforcement of Its terms while Russia oc cupied the province. It is believed here that an understanding exists between Ger many and Russia in regard to operations in Manchuria and that no protest or even disapproval will be expressed by Germany over any course Russia may pursue in China. France is apparently disinterested and Great Britain is thought to be the only country that Is vitally interested and opposed to the course of Russia In Man churia. It Is stated that nothing has been re ceived here indicating that an official an nouncement has been made by the Russian government that the treaty between Russia and China has lapsed, but that It is evident that it has lapsed because the date for the evacuation of Manchuria has passed, that the terms of the treaty have not been compiled with and because the treaty would naturally lapse In such an event, UX CONFIRMED RUMORS. Japanese Reported to Have Occupied a. Russian Settlement in Korea. BERLIN, Oct. 12. A dispatch from Shanghai to the Frankfurter Zeitung states that news has reached there from Che-Foo to the effect that the Japanese have occupied Ma-San-Pho and that an official declaration of war is expected. The. relation between Japan and Russia has reached a crisis, according to the official view here. The exact nature of the diplomatic exchanges between the two governments that brought out the present tensity appear to be unknown at the legations of the two countries here or at the German legations at St, Petersburg and Tokio, although it is, understood that Great Britain is privy to Japan movements. LONDON. Oct. 12. The Foreign Office sayb it has no confirmation of the reports of Japanese military movements at Ma. .San-Pho. Japan has a special settlement. -vaö uvB U, viaunof 1CJ.IT Viel San-Pho, granted to her by Korea in 1101 as an offset of the settlement at Ma-San-Pho recently granetd to Russia by Korea. Deprecating the rumors of a Japanese ultimatum to Russia, Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister to Great Britain, in an interview to-day said he had no information of such a character, adding that had Japan taken this, action, the Anglo-Japanese treaty would have necessitated my boing Immediately notified, so that he might inform the British government. In spite of the reassuring statements of the Forign Office and Baron Hayashi the frequent reiteration that hostilities between Russia and Japan are imminent, the mysterious movements of the Russian and Japanese fleets and the excited state of public opinion in Japan are beginning to cause disquiet in Great Britain, which, by reason of alliance with Japan, is intimately concerned in any action .which the latter may take In the far East. Onlv th m na t sanguine persons believe that in the event Ol üsujiucB nicy i-uum ne Kepi within the limits which would free Great Britain fmm her obligation'to support her Japanese ally.

While refusing to crtÄ the reports of an ultimatum having b-fn delivered Baron Hayashi admitted that tie diplomatic situation has changed since Oct! 8 and that developments may have arlrn from the failure of the Russians to ful'i their engagement to evacuate Manchuria, on that date. He. however, had hrard nothing from his government on the subject Chee-Foo, the pource of the latest alarming news, is several hundred mil" from Ma-San-Pho, so the reports of Jar. in; military movements there are likely to a repetition of similar stories circulated last week which later accounts mlnlrr.Ued.

TILLMAN CASE SPEECHES FIVE ATT O It X E Y S ADDRESS TllU Jl'HY AT LEXIXGTOX, S. C. Botli Sides Snlnnlt to the Court Their Requests for Instruction to the Men Who Will Consider Verdict. LEXINGTON, S. C, Oct. 12. Arguments to the jury in the trial of J. H. Tillman were begun with the convening of court to-day, three attorneys for the State and two for the defense addressing the Jury during the seven hours court was in session. Four attornej-s, two on a side, are to be heard to-morrow. A larger crowd of spec tators was in attendance to-day than thero has been at any time for several days pat and there was a greater number of womtn in attendance. Mrs. J. H. Tillman and tho mother of the defendant were present, as they have been almost constantly since the beginning of the trial, and were attentive listeners. Solicitor Thurmond opened for the State, both sides having submitted to the court their requests for instructions to the Jury, preliminary to which Mr. Thurmond addressed the court in the presence cf the jury on the doctrine of self-defense and the law defining murder and gave the State's In terpretation of the law relating to threats and provocation. Addressing himself to the case and re ferring to the editorials in the State Mr. Thurmond said they were before the Jury to show the feeling between Gonzales and Tillman. In this connection he referred to the liberty of the press. The solicitor de voted himself largely to a review and sum ming up of the evidence adduced by the prosecution concerning threats, next taking up and comparing the testimony of witnesses on the two sides relative to the shoot ing with a view to showing that Gonzales was unarmed and sought to avoid a dilüI culty when he met the defendant on the day of the shooting. The solicitor was followed by Mr. Rembert, of counsel for the defense, who said among other things that the defense did nut concede that Gonzales was unarmed at the time he was shot.. Stress was laid by counsel on the charges by Gonzales against the defendant to show, as he stated, the influence they had on the defendant's mind when he met Gonzales. Attorney William Elliott, Jr., contended that Gonzales was within his right in criticising a man in public life, and asserted that Tillman had recourse to the libel law for redress. He said also that a number f the utterances contained In the editorials which have been read were extracts from other newspapers, and added that Gonzales had not mentioned the home life of the defendant. Mr. Elliott said the dying declaration taken down in shorthand had nut been introduced because the stenographer taking it was Gonzales's private stenographer. Mr. Elliott made use of the statement made by the defendant that be had the "drop" on Gonzales. Col. George Johnson spoke for two and a half hours in behalf of the defendant. He contended that the liberty of the press dl 1 not give the right of denunciation. He dwelt on the testimony of witnesses for th'? defense as to threats. He Insisted that th? two statements testified to as the dying declarations of Gonzales were at variance, and that the variance was due to the morphin.. administered to him after he was shot. He asked why the dying declaration which was taken down in shorthand had not been offered in evidence, dwelling upon its absence from ahe records. Mr. Johnson had th sheriff stand before the jury with GouzaI's-s overcoat on, and, pointing to the bullet hole, claimed it supported the defendant's version of the shooting. Mr. Asbill, counsel lor the State, was the last to address the jury, and had not fairly begun when the hour of adjournment arrived. He said It was five months after the last editorial was written concerning Mr. Tillman that the shooting occurred, and con tended that the editorials be eliminated from consideration. INDICTMENTS NOT GOOD. Former Banker Martlndnle Wrongfully Accused by the Grand Jury. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Oct. It-Judge John F. Phillips, in the United States Cicuit Court here to-day, handed down a decision holding. In effect, that none of the nint-teca counts In the first Indictment against former Judge William Martlndale, who was indicted by the federal grand jury on the alleged charge of misappropriating the funds of the deftinct First National Bank of Emporia, are good. There still is another indictment against Martlndale, in connection with the handling of funds in several small bank feeders to the National of Emporia. The indictments against Judge Martlndale, who was vice president of the concern, grew out of the failure of the First National Bank in 1S9S, when President Charles S. Cross, a noted cattle-breeder, committed suicide after an Investigation that disclsd the fact that he had lost the bank's money in speculation. Although Cross left a cenfession exonerating Martlndale, the latttf was later indicted. Many Xew Cases of Fever. LAREDO. Tex.. Oct. E.
