There used to be an old saying that “as goes Maine so goes the nation,” but the G. O. P. would like to forget it for a while. This “revolution” in Cuba is no doubt a cut and dried affair to get annexation to the United States. The details will no doubt be forthcoming ere long. Another unfailing sign that winter is approaching, is furnished by the report that there exists “a shortage of coal cars.” The consumer knows just what that means. Let the prosecutor conduct a court of inquiry a nd get after all the gamblers, no matter who they are. Don’t single out one or two and bold them up as horrible examples, Head coach Folsom of Hanover, says the new foot-ball rules are a farce and a fizzle. “The on side rule after a kick,” he says, “will be especially dangerous and will cause more injuries alone than all the old rules put together, ’’ The way to reform football is to abolish the game. ♦lease Martin, the democratic treasurer of Carroll county, publishes a card in the papers of that county stating that, if elected, he will turn all moneys received from interest on the county funds into the county treasury for the benefit of the taxpayers, depending alone on the salary of the otjice as fixed by law for his compensation.

Thomas W. Burt, ex-chairman of the Tippecanoe county central committee, ex-city clerk of Lafayette, member of the Burt-Terry-Wilson stationary company—which has furnished county supplies to various counties in this section of the state, including Jasper, where the figures on their bid were changed after being accepted by the county some two years ago—now postmaster of Lafayette, a Crumpaoker shouter for many years and a bosom friend of the late lamented T. .1, McCoy of Rensselaer, is reported to be $1,519.10 short in his accounts as city olerk. A non-partisan committee appointed by Mayor Durgan went carefully over Burt’s books and so reported to the oity oouncil. With Mr. Crumpacker’s boss henchman, T. J. McCoy, in the penitentiary for being too free with the money deposited in his bank, and another bunchman, who was Tom’s chief lieutenant, charged with being Bhort in his accounts, it would seem that Judge Orumpacker has been unfortunate in the selection of his principal backers.

Prom high, diplomacy to the corner grocery i# a sodden and a sad drop. Bat a very important period has been reached in the preparation of the Agricultural Department to enforce the new meat inspection law, and in all probability this is of more immediate interest to the householder than war and rumors of war in Cuba. The Department has just issued a small pamphlet that ought to be memorized by every housekeeper showing how thb real may be distinguished from the spurious in buying all sorts of meat products. Fresh meat has always been inspected by the Department of Agriculture before it was allowed in interstate trade, but now this inspection will extend to all sorts of smoked and prepared meats and to canned meats stuffs, Worse even than this for the dealers is the fact that imitations will have to be unmistakably labeled and in this lays the value of the pamphlet. A “Virginia Ham’’ which was never raised in Virginia, can only be called “Virginia Style Ham” when it is put on sale. Vienna Sausage, Frankfurters and English Sausage

must all have the incriminating word “Style” inserted in the label if they are not the real imported variety. The same thing is true of lard and when the consumer buys “Pure Leaf Lard” or any other well known variety of lard, he may be assured that he is getting what he asks for unless the contrary is distinctly explained on the label. The same is true of canned and potted meats of all sorts, and to the regret of the dealers, hog snouts and mutton will no longer be allowed to mas. querade as “Potted Chicken.” This volume is a most interesting one, and as it is a government publication which costs nothing, ought to be in the hands of eyery housekeeper. Write the Secretary of Agriculture for it.

NEW YORK DEMOCRACY

Hearst lias the Delegate* and Tammany I* for Him. Boffaloy N. Y., Sept 27.—At a session which began at 7:45 last night and continued until 2:20 this morning the Democratic state convention nominated a state ticket with William Randolph Hearst at the head of it. Hearst. already was in the field as the gubernatorial nominee of the Independence League, which he was instrumental in organizing. The Democrats also took from the Independence League ticket Lewis Stuyvesant Cbanler, of Dutchess, for lieutenant governor, and John S. Whalen, of Monroe, for secretary of state. The other noniinees have no place on the Independence League ticket. ,

WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST.

llearst was nominated with 309 votes, only 220 being necessary for a choice. Representative William Sulzer received for governor 124 votes, and John A. Dix, of Washington, received the complimentary vote of 17 delegates, making 450 in all. The nomination of Hearst was made in the face of the bitterest opposition ever waged in a Democratic convention in this state. The platform begins by denouncing the protective tariff as the cause of “graft” and the refuge of the trust; therefore also as the origin of all the Socialistic schemes extant; declares against all Socialism, which is declared no remedy for public ills of any kind, and opposes municipal operation of public utilities; in place of which government itself should confine itself to fixing the rates at which said utilities shall perform tlieir services; insurance legislation is demanded, and Russian anti-Jewish mobs are disapproved of; Bryan is declared a great Democratic leader, but not named for president.

Mention of President Roosevelt in the resolution and in speeches evoked npThe platform Is ‘•stand-pat” as to the tariff; Indorses everything done or doing by President Roosevelt, and declares Governor nigglus’ administration one of the greatest the state has known; favors legislation for the restoration of the American merchant marine,” and the reduction of representation of states that suppress the elective franchise, and de-

nounees mob barbarities at home and abroad. Tim Woodruff to Manage. Ex- Lieutenant Governor Timothy 1.. Woodruff was elected chairman of the state committee, succeeding exGvernor B, 15. Odell, Jr.

WITH HIS LITTLE ULTIMATUM

That Is How Taft Brought the Cuban Statesmen to Terms. It was an ultimatum issued by Taft and Bacon'that brought the Moderates to agree to these conciliatory methods. In describing the situation Secretary Taft gave tire Associated Press if brief calendar of the negotiations leading up to the present status. He said: “The Moderates determined to force American intervention by the resignation of government officers, thus leaving affairs in our hands. President Palma chose to regard our suggestions as demands, and he rejected them emphatically. Today we acquainted Alfredo Zayas, the Liberal leader, with the situation, and he undertook to induce his associates to consent to the original proposition of the Moderates—namely, that the insurgents lay dowp their arms and submit the entire controversy to the American commission, but the rebel commanders and men in the field suspected insincerity on the part of the government and declined. * * * ‘After an exhaustive investigation we informed l>oth tne Moderates and the Liberals that unless they were willing to listen to reason the United States must enforce a settlement. I told them that a proclamation would be issued establishing a military government In tlie island, but that tills would continue only so long as necessary to restore order and insure the holding of new and fair general elections. I made It plain that this military government would surrender the conduct of affairs to the persons fairly elected as soon as they could fairly establish themselves.”

Police and Military Authorities Are in Absolute Control of the Situation. Atlanta, Ga., Sept 25.—Frenzied revenge was taken in this city for attacks made on white women, when over a dozen negroes were slain and many more injured by mobs of white men whom the police could not control. For four hours the mob spirit reveled in a saturnalia. On Peachtree street, the aristocratic thoroughfare of the city, the pavements in many places bore pools of blood where negroes were shot, stabbed or beaten. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 27.—The race riot situation is in. absolute control pf the authorities and business has resumed normal conditions.

IT WAS ONLY HOT AIR

Cuban Moderates Are “Climbing Down” After a Very Warm Lot of,Talk. STATESMEN INDULGE IN WIND V i • Talk About Using Dynamite as a Conclusive Argument. UNOLE SAM 18 ROASTED HOTLY Suggestion That Europe Be Invited to Help Settle the Trouble But Reason Seems Finally to Prevail. Havana. Sept. 27.—The Moderates have agreed to appoint a committee to negotiate terms of peace with a committee of the rebels and Liberals, leaving all points upon which no agreement is reached to the arbitration of the United States commissioners. The Moderates have abandoned the condition that' the rebels must first lay down their arms before negotiations can eofnnience.

Havana, Sept. 27.—A meeting of the Moderate national assembly was hastily called to discuss the pressing question whether some way could not yet be devised to settle the present difficulty without the threatened United States intervention.. The meeting was held at the residence of Senor Dolz, president of the senate. More than sixty persons were present. They Included Vice President Mendez Capote, nearly all the members of the cabinet, and almost all the leading senators and representatives. Many officers of the rurAl guard were present In uniform. Started with Letting Off Steam. No sooner had the meeting assembled than the pent-up indignation against the United States peace commissioners broke forth. Several men began in loud voices and at the same time to condemn Secretary of War Taft and Acting Secretary of State Tin con, who were deelnred to have shown partiality in backing the rebels and discrimination against the Moderate side of the controversy. The speakers shouted denunciations against the United States government and hotly Insisted that the Moderate party should appeal to the powers of the world for protection against the usurpation of the sovereignty of Cuba by the United States. Kten Talked of Dynamite. It was declared that the government forces should fight to the death rather than submit to the terms Insisted upon by the rebels, and one speaker depicted the horrors of negro domination which would result, he said, from the threatened Liberal ascendancy brought about with the alleged assistance of the United States. Some of the most radical present asserted that the government halt plently of dynamite In Havana w’hich would be used to precipitate those International complications that accrue from the destruction of foreign property. Proposal to Call on Europe. Several prominent men said that by using dynamite they could bring about Intervention by Germany, or perhaps by Great Britain, while others declared rashly that they knew that foreign dlsplomats here would favor snch a course, and It was argued that the destruction of the German bank and the damaging of English railroad property would soon result In European Intervention. Certain properties belonging to citizens of the United States were specifically mentioned as convenient for such attacks. Several speakergjßiep sald that..they would

prefer Germany or Great Britain in Cuba to the United States.

ONE ABSOLUTE CONDITION But It Was Found Not To Be So Absolute After All. This talk subsided after an hour and a half and the meeting then settled down to the question whether it was not possible to re-open the negotiations with the peace commissioners. The one point upon which the meeting was unanimous was that the cardinal condition of the re-opeulng of negotiations should be that the Moderates insist that the commissioners require the rebels to lay down their arms before proceeding to negotiate. After a brief consideration in which no difference of opinion was shown it was agreed that Acting Se<*etary of the Interior Montalvo should visit the United States commissioners and acquaint them with the party’s insistence on this condition. Senor Montalvo therefore proceeded to the United States legation and submitted this condition to Taft and Bacon, adding that if the proposition was not acceptable to them the government forces would refuse to lay down their arms or deliver them either to the rebels or the commissioners, in the meanwhile Senor Dolz had been sent for‘by Secretary Taft. He appeared at the United States legation and made the following proposition, requesting the opinion of the commissioners thereon: “That both sides appoint committees of six to treat for peace, but with the prior condition ttrnt the rebels lay down their arms.” Secretary Taft approved of this, with the exception that it was unfair t* make the rebels lay down their arms before the acceptance by both jiarties of a formal agreement to abide by the terms of the ultimate decision. Seuor Dolz returned to the assembly and reported tli6 YesnTf of bis”efforts. At the resumption of the meeting and after hearing and hastily discussing the views of Secretary Taft, the assembly precipitately receded from its contention that the rebels must lay down their arms before negotiation could be re-opened, and resolved to notify Secretary Taft that It would appoint u committee of six to meet a similar committee from the Liberals to negotiate peace terms, leaving all points upon which no agreement wqs reached to the arbitration of the United States commissioners. The assembly directed that Secretary Taft be requested to notify the Liberals of tilts actiou of the Moderates. to arrange for the appointment of a similar committee by the Liberals, and to fix a time and place.
