It was stolen from widows and orphans and put in the treasury of the Republican committee, but Chairman Cortelyou evidently does not intend to pay it back. Ab fast as they meet in state convention the Democrats of the country adopt a resolution endorsing Bryan for the presidential nomination in 1908. The more unanimous the Democrats become the worse the Republicans seem to feel about it, especially the Fairbanks guards of the household. The “protective” tariff—which the Republicans assert is a sacred “principle”—caused a deficit of $13,514,869 in the government’s accounts for the month of July. Bat this same “protective” tariff enabled the steel trust to make a net profit of more 140,000,000 for the three months ending June 30. The sacred “principle of protection,” as it is worked out in the Dingley law, gives the steel trust the privilege of levying its own tax on the American people. A tariff for revenue would prevent the

steel trust extortion and similar kinds of thievery, without injuring any legitimate business, and at the same time provide money for all necessary government expenses. “Standpatter” Shaw of lowa, will have hard work explaining to “Standpatter” Roosevelt how the hisses given the former in the lowa Republican state convention were complimentary to the administration of which he (Shaw) is a conspicuous part. A Democratic congress elected this fall will be a good start toward the election of a Democratic president in 1908.—The Commoner. Yes, and it will prevent the passage of the ship subsidy graft bill and do a lot of good for the people in other directions. If the Republican state committee carries out the scheme to preach “standpatism” in some districts and “tariff revision” in others, it will find it necessary, of course, to keep its oratorical goats separated from its no less oratorical sheep. But where will the 25,000 copies of the Hon. Charles Berry Landis’ eulogy of the trusts be put? ;

GOV. HANLY’S ENFORCING THE LAWS.

Of course no reasonable man can expect that the governor of a great state can see everything that is going on all over his bailiwick all of the time —at least at all places at all times —but when a prize fight is advertisee for several weeks in advanse in all the daily papers of the country, to be pulled off right in hie own home city—the capital is the sole topic of the sporting fraternity of bis own and neighboring cities for days prior to the event —one must conclude that the governor of the commonwealth of that state must have been aware of the contemplated fight. We refer to the Herman-Yanger fight at Indianapolis last Friday night and to our own J. Frank Hanly as the non-interierring governor. True, prize-fighting is not onehalf as brutal or as bad as .football, yet the former is under the ban of the law while the latter, unfortunately, is still permitted, and this fight was pulled off on Indiana soil, right in the front yard of our law-enforcing (?) governor, figuratively speaking, because it would not be permitted in other states whose governors are not accredited with the degree of self-laudation on law-enforcement that our own J. Frank Hanly assumes. The Democrat believes in lawenforcement —in fact as well as in theory—but it believes also when one man and that man in a position where he can do much in this line—starts out to enforce the laws, and in his lectures at the Chautauquae heaps great bunches of laudation upon himself for enforcing them, it "believes the laws should be enforced at Indianapols as well as in Hammond, Michigan City or Terre Haute, or even French Lick and West Baden, What is permitted and sanctioned at Indianapolis or certain other places should not be frowned upon elsewhere in the state. If Governor Hanly were sincere in his protestations for law enforcement he would not have permitted a prize fight to be pulled off in Indianapolis, and he would compel the officers of Lake county to "put on the lid” at Cedar Lake and other places, where scores of slot machines are in operation all the time and where, at the Lake especially, enough booze is sold openly every Sunday to float a battle-ship. Governor Hanly’s antics remind us of the sham battles that took place at Ft. Benjamin Harrison last week.

FUSIOH WINS IN NEBRASKA

Democrats and Populists Join in Nominating State , Ticket. SHALLENBERCER FOR GOVERNOR Berge, the Favorite of the Poplulists for Head of Ticket, Is Defeated. Conference Get Together [and Decide on the Other Nominations—Democrats Indorse Bryan. ~ I Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 16.—The “harmony for Bryan's sake,” which was hoped for at the beginning of the Democratic state convention, disappeared at 5 o’clock in the morning when, after an all-night session, the Democrats of Nebraska adjourned for the purpose of holding a conference with- the Populists regarding some of the,,offices upon which the two convention might fuse. This action came after George W. Berge, the favorite of the Populists for governor, had been defeated by the Democratic convention and after Bergy had declined the nomination tendered him by the Populists. The Democratic portion of the state ticket is as follows: For governor, Ashton C. Shallengerger, of Alma; for lieutenant governor, William H. Green, of Creighton: for secretary of state, Carl R, Goucher, of Wahoo; for treasurer, Frank O. Babcock, of Hastings; for auditor, Ed. H. Luikbdrt, of Tilden; for attorney general, L. I. Abbott, pf Omaha. Conference Ends in Fusion. Conference committees from the two convention met at 5 o’clock in the morning, a proposition having been made to permit the Populists to name the candidate for state commissioner and two candidates for railway commissioner, the Democrats also to withdraw their candidate for auditor, Mr. Lulkhart, and give that place to the Populists. These conferees were in session for several hours and resulted in the completion of the state fusion ticket, the Populists being permitted to name the following: For auditor. J. S. Canady, of Minden: for land commissioner, J. V. Wolfe, of Lincoln; for superintendent of public instruction, Professor Watson, of Cherry county; for railroad commissioners. George Horst, of Pouk county; J. W. Davis, of Fillmore county: Dr. A. P. Fitzsimmons, of Johnson county. Populists Indorse Shallenberger.’ The result of the morning's work on the part of the conference committees is fusion on the entire ticket. When Berge was defeated for governor the Populists were willing to take Ihe remaining portion of the ticket and to indorse Shallenberger, the gubernatorial candidate who haj defeated Berge. , W. H. Thompson, of Grand Island, who was the fusion nominee for gov. ernor four years ago, was indorsed for the United States senate and the Democrats~and“Tnpnlists elected to the legislature this fall are instructed, by the state convention, to vote for him. The resolutions adopted by the Democratic convention extended an invitation to ‘•progressive" Republicans to rally under the Democratic standard under the leadership of America's distinguished statesman, William J. Bryan. The resolutions extended a welcome to Mr. Bryan and acclaiming him ns the leader of the democracy of the nation. CANNON’S BOOM LAUNCHED Renominated for Congress for the Eighteenth Consecutive Time. Danville. HL. Aug. Iff.—The convention of the Eighteenth Illinois congressional district was called at 1 o'clock and renominated Joseph G. Cannon, for the eighteenth consecutive time, being the seventeenth nomination by acclamation. There was the greatest enthusiasm, especially over the prospective candidacy of Mr. Cannon for president. Mr. Cannon had not intended to launch a boom for president at this convention, but the pressure of his supporters was so great as to sweep away his wishes In the matter. Mr. Cannon’s supporters in his own district will likely urge the state convention to make similar indorsements. There seems to be little doubt that this will be done.

Dashed Over Dam to Death.

Mishawaka, Ind., Aug. 14.—Miss Mary Skinner, one of the belles of this city, was drowned tn the St. Joseph river In company with L. C. ler of South Bend. The young woman was rowing iu a boat near Hen island. a dam east of this city, and lost control of the oars, the young man also being unable to handle the skiff.

EXHIBITS OF PRISONS

Work of Inmate* of Reformatories, Etc., To Be Shown at State Fair. NO PARADE OF THE SOLDIERS Guardsmen Not on Parade, the Officers Say—Fight with a Water Moccasin—State Items. Jeffersonville, Ind., Aug. 16. —W. H. Whittaker, superintendent of the Indiana reformatory, is preparing an exhibit for the Indiana state fair, which will be held at Indianapolis from Sept. 10 to 15. The School for Feeble-Mind-ed Youths at Fort Wayne, the Indiana Boys’ School at Plainfield and the Indiana School for Glrjs and the Women’s Prison at Indianapolis algo will make exhibits, and the entire four exhibits will be transferred after the fair to Muncie, where tney will be shown at the meeting of the state conference of charities and corrections iu that city from Oct. 9 to 12. Will Show the Handiwork. The exhibit from the reformatory will illustrate all the work that is being down there. A fifty-page pamphlet is now being prepared In the printing department at the reformatory and 5,Out) copies will be issued. This will illustrate In itself the work of this most successful trade school and will contain an illustrated account of the various departments of industry. In addition there will be exhibits of each department, including articles manufactured and work done in the chain and hollow-ware shops, brooms, furniture, machine Hittings shirt-making. There has also been prepared a book illustrating the wo k In the school of letters, and this has been bound in the institution and will show wjiat can be done in that department’. Doubles the Price of the Man. The chain department is the last to be brought under the trade school system, and the change has alreadyworked a great benefit to the state, according to Whittaker. Under the old contract the state received 32 cents a man. but under the new arrangement, whereby the state runs the department and the old company takes the goods nt a fixed price, the state is getting 60 cents a man. Of this about 8 cents wil' go to the convict who is lillowed everything he makes over a certain task in his eight hours of employment. Pleased with Results. The old rattan contract paid 40 cents to the state. Whittaker says that few institutions working under the contract system get more than 45 to 50 cents a man per diem and this often witli a ten-hour day. He is therefore pleased that he is getting over 50 cents with an eight-hour work day. He expects by the first of the year to be earning at the rate of SIOO.000 a year for the state.

Noblesville, Ind,Aug. 1,6. —With an oar as her only weapon Mrs. Emanuel Hartley fought for several minutes with-a water moccasin, which made an attack on her and her two daughters.

Just behind the dog was a large snnke, exerting every effort to reach the dog. When the snake observed Mrs. Hartley in the boat it turned Its attention to her and. the girls. Mrs. Hartley grasped an oar and waited for the snake to come.within her reach. When she struck at the snake it dodged under the boat and came out of the water on the other side. Finally the dog came to the rescue of Mrs. Hartley and the snake was killed. When dragged ashore.it measured eight feet. Dr- Kane Is Recovering. Crawfordsville, Ind., Aug. 16. Dr. W. P.
