If this Republican administration is really Intent on trust busting, how would it do to jar the pottery trust a bit, which has been fostered by a 55 per cent ad valorem tariff rate and is capitalized for >40,000.000? It certainly is a combination in restraint of trade and charges unreasonable profits. An Unselflah Plea. Ob, congressmen who make tbe laws. When you convene again, I humbly pray you give no cause Unto the beef trust men For any kick, and try to please The worthy oil men, too. And set the coal men at their ease— I humbly pray you, do. Attend unto the beer men's tale; Their modest wishes grant And heed the Icemen's woeful wall And give them what they want The moanlngs of the foodstuffs gang I urge that you do heed. And help the whisky men to hang Right on to all they need. And what of me? Oh. don't mind met Just leave me to my doom. I'm only one of those, you see.

He employs but one solitary hand, to set ads, do job work, get up type for two papers and do all his work, The Democrat employs a foreman and three compositors, and tries to take care of all work promptly that comes its way. Whenever our work gets beyond the capacity of our printers we employ more help. Perhaps if Clark would

try this plan he would not be obliged to turn so much work away (?)

IS FOOTBALL DOOMED? .

Here are recent statements of several of the presidents of leading colleges on the matter of modern football: “American football, as it is played today, will have to go, or it will have to be more modified than it ever has been.”—President Benjamin Ide Wheeler to the University of California. “Brutality and unnecessary roughness shall cease in football played by Harvard teams *or that football itself shall be eliminated from the athletic curriculum of the varsity.”—President Eliot, of Harvard. “I am not opposed to football as a game, though I take little personal interest in it. I do think, however, that football is peculiarly open to a number of unfair practices which I regard as a very reprehensible.”—President Rewsen, Johns Hopkins University. “The professional coach must go. That is the only cure for the evils from which college athletics are now suffering. The teams should be the guests of the institutions they visit, without such displays of hostilities and unfair rooting as we generally see. lam convinced that football at present makes high scholarship impossible.”—Prof. Seaman, De Pauw University.

RUSSIA HAS GOT A MOVE ON AT LAST

Responsible Ministry with a Premier Seems To Be an Accomplished Fact. GREAT STRIKE HASTENS EVENTS Edict Eatabliahing the New Order of Soon. Imperial Council Sits Long Considering the Criaig Caused by the Strike Whole Empire Tied Up. |. St Petersburg, Oct. 26. An encounter took place last evening between strikers and engine drivers who were preparing to take out trains. Revolver shots were exchanged and a number of persons was killed or wounded. St. Petersburg, Oct 26.—Confronted by a situation more crucial than any since the beginning of the political and social upheaval of Russia, and which at the time this dispatch is filed shows no signs of amelioration, the emperor’s ministers, under the leadership of Count de Witte, spent almost all of yesterday in conferences in the hope of finding some way out of the crisis into which the revolutionists and the socialists have cast the country. The general strike on the railroad is complete except in a few border provinces, and St. Petersburg, Moscow and other large cities are almost as closely beleagured as if they were Invested by beseiging armies.

Significance of the Council. At the same time the industrial strike has assumed large dimensions, and the turbulent elements in several localities are offering open resistance to the troops. The ministers who had been in session during the day resumed their meeting after a short interval for dinner, and continued their deliberations until long after midnight. The result of these deliberations is not known. The ministers were summoned to as the committee of ministers of which Count de Witte is president, but as a council of ministers of which Count Solsky is properly the chairman, and the selection of Count de Witte to preside, which was done by direction of the emperor, shows that a ministerial cabinet is actually, though not formally an accomplished fact. Edict to Come Saturday. It is understood that an edict formally establishing a ministerial cabinet, which will bear the old name of “sovyet,” or council, will be published in The Official Messenger Saturday next, together with an imperial rescript addressed personally to Count de Witte entrusting him with the simultaneously created position of premier. There appears to be some question as to whether the count will take the portfolio of finance or that of the ministry of the intenor. Only One Railway Running. The Finland railroad to Holslngfors and the steamers constitute St. Petersburg's only means of communication with the outer world this morning. The postal authorities are now refusing to accept ordinary mail, and commercial correspondence is at a standstill. British Ambassador Hardlnge, who is en route to London on important international business, had to go by steamer, not being able to leave the city by rail. ■

FACTORY STRIKE IS COMPLETE Prudent People Laying in Food—Gorky’s Drama Is Presented. The strike is complete in the great factory region on both banks of the Neva above the city, and in several other industrial quarters. Forty thousand men are out, but they are conducting themselves in a most orderly manner. The store clerks' union has proclaimed a two week’s sympathetic strike for political reasons, but It is probable that It will be only partly obeyed. Prudent inhabitants are laying in stocks of provisions, so as to prepare for emergencies. As a consequence the prices of provisions have risen sharply. Large meetings, mainly of workmen, were held last night in the university and the higher schools at which the sentiment was unanimous for continuing the strike on the railroads to the bitter end. The proceedings at several of the meetings were of a strongly revolutionary character, the orators calling on their auditors to rise and slay all “chlnovniks” and the police, and to meet the troops with armed force. These speeches were received with enthusiastic cheers. At Ekaterinoslav fifteen persons were killed and twenty-six injured in a conflict between troops and strikers at the Briansk works where the strikers had erected wire entanglements. The courts, banks and other public offices have been closed. It Is reported that the strikers have taken possession of a train which was approaching Ekaterinoslav and have destroyed the station buildings along the line. The whole empire Is practically held up by the strike, which Is political in its purposes and not economic.

NEED OF THE BANKS

Vice President Fairbanks Says ft Is Rock-Ribbed Integrity and Financial Knowledge. LACK OF EITHER IS DISASTROUS One Materially as Bad as the OtherState Bankers’ Association . Elects Officers. Indianapolis, Oct. 27. The Indiana Bankers’ association elected these officers: President, C. H. Church, of Muncie; vice president, Jonce Monyhan, of Orleans; secretary, Andrew Smith, of Indianapolis; treasurer, J. A. Dehority, of Elwood. In a brief address to the bankers Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks said: “We need not only sound money and sound banks, but we need sound bankers also. There is no system of supervision, I care not how thorough and learching it may be, which can surely protect stockholders and depositor* against either inefficiency or dishonesty. Sin or Ignorance Equally Disastrous. “In banking there is little difference in final results whether a bank is operated by men who do not comprehend the real science of banking or by those who are wanting in a high order of business morality. Failure la the result in either case, with consequent confusion and embarrassment to stockholders, depositors and the community generally. There is no department of our domestic economy where there is required a higher order of sound business judgment and a more inflexible adherence to honest, conservative business methods than in banking.” C. H. Church’s Proposition. During the convention C. H. Church offered a proposition to Indemnify or guarantee the deposits of the bank* of Indiana. It is probable that the same proposition will be submitted at the next convention of the National Bankers’ association by Church. The proposition includes the organization of a “bankers’ bank,” to be known as the Indianan .Bankers’ Guarantee bank, with a capital of $5,000,000 invested in United States bonds. The purpose of this bank is to guarantee the payment of deposits in banks in this state. They Are Wanted at Cincinnati. Indianapolis. Oct. 27.—The Cincinnati police department has notified the local officials that James Herdic and May Armstrong two of eight men and women under arrest here charged with being professional shoplifters, are wanted in that city and in many other places, and have been arrested and convicted in Dayton.

The snakes weie returned to Sulliger. who failed to appear against Waybright, and the latter was then released. Was the Same Hotel. Peru, Ind., Oct. 27.—J. H. Moore, of Leesville, 0., paid a visit to this city, and it was the first time he had been here in fifty-seven years. When he left Peru it was after his father. Caleb Moore, owner of the National hotel, had died. When Moore got off the train he made his way to that hotel without inquiring for it, and he found it Just where he left it, and looking about the same. Serious Result of "Race” Trouble. Indianapolis, Oet. 27. —A dangerous race riot between school boys occurred on West Michigan street, in which O’Connell, a 14-yeat-old white boy, was shot and dangerously wounded by Edward Hansford, a 12-year-old negro. There has been trouble between the two races attending the school for several days. Couple Is In a Bad Way.
