HOPE FOR CALEB POWERS.

If the election of a republican governor In Kentucky will put an end to the persecution of Caleb Powers the event will be hailed with joy and satisfaction by thousands of people all over the country. There has been a constantly growing sentiment all over the country thi'c Powers was the victim of a political feud, and people who have follow&a his remarkable struggle for freedom, have become convinced that it is next to Impossible for him to obtain a fair trial. Without Impugning the motives of counsel. Judge or Jury there was something radically suspicious when Jury after Jury was composed almost entirely of men, who if they were not his political enemies, were at least supporters of the late Governor Goebel. Of course it would be all right to have Powers vindicated by a Jury of his peers, but if revenge, malice and political bitterness Inspire an unfair prosecution, let us hope that the new governor of Kentucky will have sufficient courage, in so far as he is able, to conclude forever this persecution to poor Caleb Towers, broken and ruined financially and physically, and give him the right to go unmolested to his mountain home. V IT WAS an act of lese rnajeste pure and simple. Did not Burton state that he consulted Roosevelt and Taft and Garfield and Governor Harris, and still did the Cleveland voters have the hardihood to defeat him! Horrible! Call out the troops! . THE CUBS may havo defeated the Tigers. And the Princeton (Tigers) football players may have been trailed In the dust, still that can hardly excuse Hearst's folly for engaging the Tammany animal.

MEANWHILE Chicago awaits with almost nervous expectancy for a demonstration of that fearless and Intrepid courage which our esteemed metropolitan Journals claimed that Mayor Busse possessed. TOM JOHNSON may not possess the ability of addressing the voters with choice Latin and Greek quotations but from all accounts he gets there Just the same. UP TO the hour of going to press Congressman Burton had not received any messages of condolence from Senator Foraker. WHETHER THE sun shines bright on my old Kentucky home depends upon which side of the fight you were on. SO OUR OWN Uncle Joe has been swished off the Pally News Presidential Fence. Too bad. THE NEW charter might have defeated the telephone coup. AND THAT will be about all for Mr. Hearst.

STAHL IS A HIGHLANDER INDIANS Ai HARVARD

Player Finally Landed by Griffith After Three Days Negotiations.

Jake Stahl will bo a Highlander next eason. AH doubt as to whether the former manager of the Washington club would return to the major leagues waa dissipated when the player signed a one year contract with the New York Americans yesterday. Stahl'a decision was made after three days of negotiating with Manager Griffith of the Highlanders. Griffith determined he would sign Jake, and he accomplished the task after several conferences In the office of President Ban Johnson of the American league. The player disposes of the South Chicago "semi-pro" club in order to play again in the American league, and It Is understood Griffith made him a liberal offer. Stahl has been out of league baseball for a year, but has rlayed with the South Chicagos. and Griffith, expects him to help the Highlanders In their fight for the American league flag. President Johnson thinks that aa a result of the big trade of three players to St. Louis by the New York club for an equal number of Browns, and the addition of Stahl. the Highlanders look the strongest kind of a team. President Johnson left last night for Cincinnati for the meeting of the national commission. The executive said there were several matters on which action was to be taken. Secretary Robert McRoy of the American league, Jake Stahl, and others will form a hunting party, which will leave Chicago for southern Illinois on Tuesday. The r.tmrods are after quail, and will camp in the vicinity of Anna. It is possible Mr. Johnson may join them.

President Murphy of the world's champion Cubs returned to the city yesterday from Wilmington, O., where he has been spending two weeks. The magnate said he was no fisherman; didn't even get a bite, and awarded the fishing championship to President ComIskey of the White Sox. The "Old Roman" was busy taking care of his correspondence yesterday and said there was "nothing doing."

Each Football Team Confident of the Outcome of Battle Today.

Boston, Mass., Nov. 9. Glen Warner's band of husky Carlisle Indians arrived In town last evening with the avowed determination of beating the Crimson of Harvard In their annual game scheduled for this afternoon on the stadium gridiron. For many years the Indians have centered their efforts in attempts to down the Crimson, but as yet Harvard has a clean slate and expects to keep the smirch off today. Great interest Is centered in the tussle. More than 30,000 seats already have been sold and the stadium will be taxed to the limit. The Indians will not lack rooters by any means, as they are billed for a big reception and they will get it with a vengeance. Harvard is not worried over the outlook. Last Saturday's game against Brown demonstrated that the team is strong on the defense, and as the Crimson boasts many fleet sprinters In the lineup, few expect Carlisle to get away with any long runs, such as figured in their victory over Pennsylvania. Captain Tarker and Wendell will not play In the game unless the Indians secure the lead. The Crimson lineup probably will be: Brown, left end; Burr, left tackle; Gil more, left guard; Grant or Nourse, center; W. Tierce, right guard; Fish, right tackle; M. C. Pierce or MacDonald, right end; Newhall, quarterback; Lock wood, left halfback; Gilbert, right halfback; Apollonio. fullback.

men admit that they are defeated, but they say they are not subdued. They declare that they did not strike because they were betrayed by the Socialists, who dissuaded the proletariat from joining the proposed strike as they were convinced that a general strike would lead to a defeat of their party at the forthcoming municipal elections. London. England. The Northumberland Miners' association Is seeking to change the basis of 1879 prices to a rate more in accordance with the rates now ruling, which the men contend should be 25 per cent, higher than in 1879. A good sound average might bo found in the mean of 1S79-1907, a period of 28 years, which would do Injustice to none and perhaps satisfy the miners. Denver, Col. President Mickey Davis, of the Alaska Mine Workers' union, has succeeded in his effort to form an alliance with the Western Federation of Miners, and it is said i that there will be a renewal of the i warfare between the Miners' union and i the operators in the Tanana (Alaska)

This is the highest rate that common laborers have ever obtained in thla vicinity. London. Hundreds of women of various types and grades of society assembled at Manchester to promote a national union for women workers, to discuss plans for the betterment of woman's position, to protest against the small wages paid them In proportion to men's, the woman's maximum being the man's minimum, decided the unskilled woman worker couldn't organize because too poor to accumulate funds; therefore that trade unionism holds out no hope. New York. The growth of the Web Pressmen's union, as now organized, has been phenomenal. The first international convention of the trade waa held In Brooklyn, N.
