A WINSOME VILLAIN 24X _BY JOHN H. RAFTERY.

‘HE advent of Helen Barr as stenogT rapher created a genuine sensation in Hotel Packinghom. The staid manager, broad of paunch and bald ©of head, began to dictate his own letters, instead of leaving them to his gssistant. The chief clerk surpassed even his own high standard of sartorial spiendor and éurled the ends of his mustache so high that the points served him as “‘a sight” for the aiming of many glances of admiration The captain of the beliboys began ta throw out his chest and take on the airs «f a grown man, the clarion tones of “iront” became music to the ears of the “buttons. for it required a sudden appearanee within range of Miss Barr's incomparable eyes. Ever the house detertive, the stewart and the door men lighted up, and as for the miale euesfs. they suddenly developed into eontinuous and most voluminous: letter seritors: E Miss Barr-was a beauty. as anyone could see. Her hair was auburn and hier eves dark blue. The clerk insist «d that thex were “royal purple,” and bet a box of cigars with a bold traveline man that she would sayv so hersel

if a~ked. He Jost the wager, however, l for. when the sauey question was put 1o her, she blushed beautifully, and | said: “I pexey moticed <Sir ' But, as) the inquisitor attempted to push his } investigation, the wirl turned back to her tyvpewriter and murmured: “Any- t way. there's no green in them.”. Thisl innocent- retori had tlie effect of a rebuff. and Miss . Barr's popularity “went off a point”-with the clerk.: But she could be very gracious without stepping across the limitations of per- i fect decorum, and her calm amiability ‘ of dizsposition and habitual cheerfulress of expressionintrenched her pop- ' nlarity withous permitting familiare - - : Capi. Hugh Baldwin, U. S. A, came’ to the Packingham to “recuperate” after a period of detached service in South America. He was tall, sunburned. blond, good to look at and distinguished, with all the frank gentility of a soldier and an officer. Of all her customers Miss Barr had found Capt. Baldwin the most interesting. He was friendly without being obtrusive, gay without being silly and respectful without being distant. The alert beauty had found out a great many things about him in the course of a week, for he wrote to Mrs. Baldwin every day. He had assured her that *he didn’t know how soon he’d be home” because he was still “far from well,” ete. These seemingly unwarranted explanations gave Miss Barr the idea that the handsome captain was something of a rogue, for she -had never seen a finer example of ro‘bust manhood. - ; The number of ay young men who called on him seemed to.indicate that Le might be what she vaguely sus--pected as “one of the boys.” Som'e-1 times he wrote letters to other women than Mrs. Baldwin, and, althoughl these were usuaily noncommittal and of the jolly sort that might well pass between a jolly bachelor and his society acquaintances, yet Miss Barr fancied that they were not the kind T e e e i i POLITICAL LITERATURE. | Tons of It Have of Late Been Sent Through the Mails All Over : the Cunntry:, Washington is at this time and seasen a great educational certer. Millions of documents, designed to enlichten the voters of the land, are being prepared and shipped from “this city, and the government printing office and its bureaus are hard pressed to keep up with the work. The average citizen-does not realize what a vast amount of educational effort proceeds from the capital everyv two years. o : Neatly every member of congress has one or more speeches delivered bxr him in the house and senate, which he desires to distribute among his constituents. They may be remarks upon the great questions of the day or merely a spread upon some local subject, hut the congressman does not think that he has done his. duty unless he plasters his district or state with speeches. If he did not his constitients probably “would ask him upon his return what he had been doing down in Washingtnri._ = 3 : So in every committee room .at the capitol the clerks are busy inclosing and ma'iling,th‘e speeches of CoONgressmen. Eyery senator and representative keeps a list of the people of his constituency whom he desires to reach, and the envelopes are addressed -from these lists, The speeches go through the mails free, of course, but it is quite a task to get them ready for shipment. They are taken from the capitol by wagon joads at a time, and for the next two

of letters she would like her husband to be writing if she were married. Then, thought the girl, “he has children. Let’s see. He mentioned Amy, Tom, Catherine and Baby Hugh. Umph! I think he is pretty gay fora man of family.” It was not till he began the practice of leaving flowers and bonbons on her desk that Helen awakened to a realization of Capt. Baldwin’s possible villainy. Without reflecting that his character, good or bad, should in no way interfere with her peace of mind, she began to worry, grieve and get pale. She knew that his wife was urging him to come home, and she was sure that his trumped-up excuses were either frivolous or utterly untrue. Finally she asked him to “please stop giving her presents,” but try as she might she couldn’t find an excuse for mentioning his wife and his duty toward his family. “I'm not supposed to know anything about that,” she thought, and yet she puzzled "over.the guestion whether his candid display of his own duplicity was not proof positive that he was a shameless wretch, making love to an innocent girl without even taking the precaution to conceal his life obligations. : :

‘And yet she could not suppress the consciousness of pleasure in his presence. He quit his gift giving and dietated more letters, which proved that his wife was suspicious and bad perhaps accused him of infidelity of some kind. He never discussed the contents of these letters with Helen, but rattled away as if she were a mere machine, and then changed the subject to any of a hundred delightful themes of which he seemed to be anxious to Hear her talk. When at last heseemed to drift into a more serious frame of mind and habit, Miss Barr found herself unreasonably gratified. Her heart gave a joyful bound one day when she heard him tell a friend one day that he was “on the water wagon,” but an access of virtuous anger seized her that same evening, wlen, for the first time, he came to her and asked quite calmly and respectfully, if she would go to the theater with him. She made a pitiful effort to “freeze him” with her answer, but her eyes were brimming before she could turn away, and she said nothing. He walked away, and from the corner of her downcast eye she could see that he went into the buffet.

_The unhappy girl spent a sleepless night, for she had neither parent nor relative to share her troubles. A dozen times she resolved to beg.of Capt. Baldwin to quit the hotel and go home to his wife. She thought of writing to him, or refusing to take his letters, of ignoring him, and finally resolved to do his work if he persisted, but remain deaf and blind to his personal attentions as she had done with every other man at the hotel. DBut her tired heart was in a flutter again the moment she got behind the railing of her little oftice, for she saw the captain strolling nervously about the rotunda. She kept her eyes on her work, but she knew he was watching her. Her work was cleared away and she was ready to leave for luncheon when he came suddenly to the desk and said:

“Take a couple of letters, please, miss?” She did not look up, but she was aware of a strange, hard note in his voice. He began with a letter to “Dear Catherine,” as usual, and Miss Barr was wondering what new subterfuge he would palm oft on his wife, when he began: “You have been a good sister-in-law to me, and I hope you will succeed in satisfying my brother, that—" Miss Barr’s cheeks were aflame with excitement. Catherine was not his wife, then! She could hear her heart beat the music of those words. But when he came to the end of that letter and said: ¢The fact is, I've made up my mind to get married and settle down if the girl will have me,” Miss Barr got pale again and trembled. But the worst was to come. She could have struck him when he leaned across the rail and said: “Now, I want you to write out a proposal for me.” She didn’t hear exactly what followed. Her traiped fingers flew mechanically over the keys as he dictated a stilted and very formal proposal, beginning “Dear Miss’ andl ending “Your anxious and devoted Hugh Baldwin.”

“What’; the address?” she asked, coldly.

' “Here’s the ‘envelope,” he said in frigid tones. - She picked it up with quivering fingers, said: ‘Fifty cents, please,” and read the address—‘“Miss Helen Barr, Hotel Packingham, City.” : And they stood there smiling into each other's eyes.—Chicago RecordHerald. = :

weeks the mail trains leaving Washington will carry extra cars to accommodate the inecreased traffic.

‘ln addition to the large volume of political literature sent out by individual senators and representatives, the two campaign committees will cistribute this year millions of documents. In the presidential campaign of 1896 the republican committee sent out 22,000,000 documents. No such number will be distributed this yvear, but the total will probably reach several millions, and the democrats will do as well. f

The congressmen who do not have committee rooms, but whose clerks are compelled to do the work outside the capitol; have their speeches sent to their hotels or residences and there prepared for shipment.

THE CROP REPORT.

SVeather Conditions Generally Favorable—=Tooo Hot in Central and East Gulf States,

Washington, July 16.—The following is the weather bureau’s weekly summary of crop ¢onditions:

Very favorable temperatures prevailed the week ending July 14, in all districts east of the Rocky mountains with the exception of the central and east gulf states, which have suffered somewhat from excessive heat. A considerable portion of these last mentioned districts have, however, received much needed rains, relleving to a great extent the severe drought that has prevailed for several weeks, although more rain is greatly needed in some sections. Heavy rains have continued in the Missouri and Upper Mississippi valleys and portions of the laKe region, delaying cultivation and causing destructive frezhets in places. Tre central and southern Rocky mountain regions Rave suffered somewhat from low temperatures and frosts. Highly favorable conditions prevailed on the Paclfic coast and especially in Oregon and Washington. <

The corn crop, as a whole, in the principal corn states, has made very favorable progress, although neceding cultivation in portions of the Missouri and Upper Mississippi valleys and lake region as result of continued rains, which have alsq reduced the acreage somewhat in lowa. In the southern states late corn has improved somewhat, but the early crop is very poor. In New England, New York and North Dakota corn is very backward.

Winter wheat harvest is nearing completion, except in the northern portion of the winter wheat belt. Their crop has experienced generally favorable conditions, except ir the Missouri valley, where com. plains continue of sprouting in stack and shock. On .the North Pacifis coast winter wheat is maturing nicely and harvest will -begin in Oregon in about ten days. Spring wheat is now heading in the northern portion of the spring wheat region, and the general outlook for this crop continues promising, although it is late in portions of northern Minnesota. lln lowa, where the crop has been damaged somewhat by rust, the outlook is less favorabie,

Oats continue in promising concition, but lodging is reported quite extensively in Nebraska and lowa and to some extent in Ohio. Harvesting has bezn interrupted by wet weather in the Lower Missouri val-

THE FRIAR CONTROVERSY.

Pope Leo Said to Be Displeased with Procedure of Commission of Cardinals,

London, July 19.—The Rome correspondent of the London Chronicle says the pope is intensely displeased at the way in which the commission of cardinals has conducted the negotiations with Judge Taft in the matter of the friars in the Philippines. “I learn from an authoritative source,” says the correspondent, ‘“that, besides annulling the procedure of the commission of cardinals, the pope has summarily dissolved it, expressing his view that the American demands were reasonable and signifying his readiness to treat with Judge Taft personally.” Rome, July 19.—Cardinal Rampolla sends the vatican’s reply to the last note of Gov. Taft on the Philippine church question, in which he praises America and its statesmen. Cholera Spreading, St. Petersburg, July 18. — Official dispatches announce the serious spread of cholera in Manchuria, accompanied by great mortality.

BIG STRIKE ENDED. Chicago Freight Handlers Declde to Go Back to Work~History of the Struggle. Chicago, July 17.—The gigantic strike of freight handlers which has almost' paralyzed Chicago for the last ten days ended Wednesday at 10:50 a. m., when the men by an almost unanimous vote decided to return to work in a body and secure the best possible terms under the circumstances. A strike of teamsters, ‘which would have involved nearly 20,000 men, has been averted by the abrupt ending of the controyersy. . “I'he result of the strike was a bit-

ter disappointment to the men. They knew carly in the day that the end had come when they received authentic information that their ranks were broken and that many strikers, acting individually, had gone back to the freight yards and asked for work. The decision of the men to go back to work in a body was largely the outcome of a meeting between President Curran and the members of the state board of arbitration, held Tuesday night. Wednesday Chairman Job and the other members of the board saw the officials of the union again and told them frankly that the men ‘could not hope to secure work uunless they went back as the board suggested and went back at once. The state board had felt the pulse of the railroad officials and knew that if the freight handlers did not go back Wednesday they could never go back. . ]

The freight handlers’ strike began . 3 g at nine o’cleck a. m. Monday, July 7,

when the men left work at 24 freight depots in a body.-

The strikers demanded 18 cents an hqar for truckers, the striking out of

the 30 days’ probation rule, which provided for less pay for men for the first month of their employment, and the payment of time and a half for overtime work. ° The officials of the road refused to grant the demands of the men, and imported labor to handle the freight. For several days both incoming and outgoing goods were handled without trouble. Then the teamsters refused to haul goods to the freight depots, and business was at a standstill.

ADMONISHED AND RETIRED.

Gen, Smith, Author of the “Kill and Burn” Order, Disciplined by President, .

Washington, July 17. — Secretary Root brought from Oyster Bay the case of Gen. Jacob H. Smith, tried by court-martial at Manila, on account of orders issued to Maj. Waller. Gen. Smith was found guilty of the charges. by the court and sentenced to be admonished by the reviewing authority. The president has so admonished Gen. Smith, and retired him under the law, which provides that officers having reached the age of 62 years may be retired at will by the president. Secretary Root supplements the reprimand of President Roosevelt in a long circular in which he explains the conditions which resulted in the courtmartial of Gen. Smith, and shows that although Smith issued the *“kill and burn” order, as a matter of fact very few persons were killed as a result of that order, -the casualties being confined almost wholly to the 11 natives killed under Maj. Waller’s direction. Negro Burned at the Stake, Clayton, Miss.,, July 18.—William Ody, a negro, who attempted to assault Miss Virginia Tucker, of this place, was burnt at the stake at midnight. The assault was most brutal. The young lady was out riding in the country when attacked, and was so violently pulled from a buggy by the negro that both of her lower limbs were broken. The negro was captured and was held by a posse. Miss Tucker is highly connected in this vicinity. : Took Many Ballots, Mount Vernon, 111., July 17.—Joseph .B.

DISASTER OFF ISLE OF SHCALS

Twelve Girls and Two Men Are Drowned by Capsizing of

a Boat,

Appledore Island, Isles of Shoals, N. H., July 18.—Twelve girls and two men were drowned Thursday afternoon when a whale boat containing a party of 16 waiters and waitresses of the Oceanic hotel an Appledore Island was overturned by a squall 300 feet from the shore. The men were college students serving as waiters during vacation and several of the girls were school teachers. The bodies of nine were recovered. The party was in charge of Skipper Fred Miles, an experienced boatman, and no danger was apprehended when the party started out. When 300 feet from the landing a squall arose and in an instant the boat was bottom up and the young people were struggling in the water. -

~ The accident was witnessed from both Appledore and Star islands and within a few minutes the steamer Sam Adams and a score of boats went to the rescue. The confusion was sa great, however, that only three were rescued alive, and five bodies of the 14 drowned were lost. As quickly as possible the nine -lifeless ones were placed in charge of doctors on the shore of Appledore island and every effort made to resuscitate them, but the efforts were in vain and the nine bodies are in a morgue on the mainland in Portsmouth.

. Among the drowned were H. Coleman Farrington and W. A. Alward, both law students at Harvard, rooming at Forsyth hall. Alward and Farrington were good swimmers, and they lost their lives in an effort to save some of the women.

Skipper Miles feels that the disaster was due principally to. the fact that the boat was overloaded. The steamer Sam Adams was at once headed for the scene of the disaster and a rope was thrown to several of the women in the yater, but only one, Miss Alice Haggerty, of Exeter, had strength enough to grasp it and be drawn aboard the boat.

UTAH MINE DISASTER.

Explosion of Powder Magazines at : Park City Causes Loss of Many Lives,

Park City, Utah, July 17.—Two pmvdoi‘ magazines at the 1,200-foot level of the Daly-West mine exploded about one o'clock Wednesday morning, causing a loss of life that at present cannot be estimated nor even guessed at. At four o’clock 33 men had been taken out of the mine dead, and spverul others had been recovered in a half dazed condition. These were all brought out through the Ontario mine shaft, which is a mile distant from the Daly-West, in which the explosion occurred. The 1,200-foot level of the Daly-West corresponds to and is connected by tunnel with the 600 level of the Ontario. : In the Daly-West mine between 100 and 150 men were at work. In the Ontdrio were mnearly 100, it is believed. It is not known how many of these are dead, but the disaster extends to the Ontario, as the noxious gases that have been let loose are known to be the cause of several of the deaths. There are two powder magazines at the 1,200-foot level of the Daly-West, one at each side of the shaft, with a capacity of one to two cars of powder each. A car of powder was added to the supply within the past few days. The explosion occurred at about one o'clock in the morning, at an hour when every person in town was either asleep or at work. The shock was so tremendous that it awakened every one within a radius of miles. As an example of its awful force, it is told that two horses in the ore tunnel, one and a half miles away, were killed by it.

Park City, Utah, July 19.—The coroner’s jury returned a verdict holding the officials of the Daly-West mine entirely blameless for the accident by which 35 men lost their lives.

TRADE REVIEW.

Prospects for Activity During the

Fall Are Said to Be En-

couraging

New York, July 19.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade says: ‘““‘Settlement of numerous labor controversies and prospect of early agreements as to other stfuggles ‘have' greatly improved the industrial outlook, wisile agricultural conditions steacdily improve. As these ha‘ve been the ornly urnfavorable influences t_or some months, the prospects for active trade are-decidedly éncouraging. Preparations for uriusually heavy fall sales are being made and confidence grows stronger. Mills and furnaces that have been idle on account of the usualvoi/erhauling, resumed as rapidly as needed repalrs could be made. Financial condéitions are sound, the mid-year dividend distributions producing no stringercy, and speculation ha:‘l been heavy for the season, both in securi- | ties and staples. “Failures for the week numbered 213 in the United States, against 193 last year, and 2 ir Canada, against 32 last year.” Bradstreet’s says: ‘“Weather, crop ard industrial developments have been largc-] ly favorable and, coupled with the great| ease. of money, make for an optlmi.-"ticl‘ feeling in trade and speculation. Asstated: some time ago and confirmed by recent developments, the future seems more and more secure, but the immediate present does rot in all instances present so satisfactory an appearance. Warmer weather has continued to help retail @distribution, but has not in all cases made up for the disadvantages caused by the heretofore backward season. With few exceptions summer resort business has not equaled expectations. Railway earnings are really flattering, June returns on nearly 100,009 miles of road showisg an aggregate gain of S per cent. on last year. In the matter 3f actual business improvement is noted in -the demand for finished produets of ifron and steel and lumber seems to be recovering from the temporary depression noted at the beginning of July. Good growing weather is reported the country over, and corn and cotton reports are generally favorable. The southern peach yield has been large, arnd fruits generaliy have donre well. The industrial situatlon is better than it has beern for some time past.” AN ABUSED WIFE. ; Attacked by Her Drunken Husband and His Brother She Kills Both. Carbondale, I#., July 19.—The Jaubert Brothers, who operated a' small coal mine mnear Oraville, were both shot to death at their home early Friday morning by the wife of one of the men. They had returned about 11 o'clock intoxicated and the husband demanded his supper. Mrs. Jaubert began its preparation and her husband began breaking the dishes and at last attacked her. Mrs. Jaubert and her sister fled to a back room and locked the. door. Her husband followed, broke in the deoor and renewed the assault, whereupon the infuriated wife fired three shots into his body, one passing through his heart, causing almost instant death. The brother, who was a witness to the tragedy, took wup his brother's gquarrel and attempted to strike the woman, whereupon Mrs. Jaubert emptied the two remaining chambers of the revolver into his body, inflicting a wound from which he died shortly afterward. The scene of the tragedy and the floor of the house presented:a terrible sight. The woman gave the alarm and surrendered to the officers. Coroner L. E. Knaus impaneled a jurx, who, after hearing the evidence, exonerated the wife. The brothers have been noted for years for their brutal ways and the wife has for years stood the abuse that a drunken husband was wont to inflict. WISCONSIN REPUBLICANS.

L STORM STORY EXAGGERATED. No Confirmation of Destruction of Several Towns in Neorth Dakota with Attendant Loss of Life.

St. Paul, Minn,, July 17.—Telegraphic communication with the Red river valley is still interrupted, byt as brief telephone conversation with Grand Forks before noon brought the news that the storm was very widespread. and did much small damage which will be heavy in the aggregate, but there is yet no confirmation of the report that several towns have been destroyed. These reports are discredited at Grand Forks, as also are the reports of loss of life. It is believed many are injured but none killed. The storm started near Devil’s lake, in northern North Dakota, swept over and up the Red river, then jumped across Minnesota, and-went tearing down the Mississippi river into Towa.

DISCORD AMONG REPUSBLICANS

Some Things Which Go to Show That , All I« Not Lovely in the Opposition Camp.

The republican brethren and their organs are not mixing well these days and are talking back at each other, telling some plain truths that hitherto ‘it has been difficult to get them to acknowledge. The smaller fry have been making faces at one another for some time, even those edited by the postmasters getting occasionally mixed up in the mess, but their insignificance was such that hardly anyone took any notice of them. But now comes that stanch and reliable organ of republicanism, the Chicago Inter Ocean, and belabors Grosvenor, of Ohio, for his speech at the Ohio republican contention, when he said—but what is the use in quoting Grosvenor, he would say anything. But what the Inter Ocean says, however, is of consequence, for after falling foul of Grosvenor for saying “‘what we will do,” it declares that the “we” in this case means David B. Henderson, John Dalzeil and the delectable Girosvenor himself, the majority of the house committee on rules, “who constitute the house machine and dictate legislation as long as their fellow-mem-bers and the.people do not revolt acgainst their domination.”

| But this is only the beginning of i the skinning the triumvirate will get at the hands of the Inter Ocean cd- | itor, for he wants to know *“what’ | gave Porto Rico free trade and pro- | duced the ‘splendid results’ that the Ib(mstful Grosvenor speaks of, and gthvn this republican organ inquires: “Was it the Henderson-Grosvenors-’l)ulzell triumvirate?” And the answer is: “Certainly not. Its aims { were free rum and taxed bread. Only by a moral revolt of the people agaiust this programme were free trade and a measure of prosperity secured to Porto Rico.” ) l But this is not all the sad tale of bickering between the brethren, for that independent republican newspaper, the Washington Post, seems to !vnjny the telling about it. and comments as follows: : 1 - “Is not all this cruel, coming from [ a loyal republican newspaper? Still, iit does not satisfy our Chicago con- | temporary. Being in a mood for adi ministering family discipline, and beIli'e‘\'ing in doing that kind of work Ithuruughl_\' well if it must do-it- at all, the Inter Ocean comes down from [ the Porto Rico epizode of the fifty- | sixth to the first Philippine bill of | the Fifty-seventh congress, ahich [ was passed by the house lust DecemElmr and sent to the senate—a Christ- | mas gift for the Filipinos. As.to it}mt the Inter Ceean inquires: = i “How did this triumvirate plan to | treat the Philippin»s?" And the reply ix: "“Worse than when they were Spanish territory. It aimed to erect a hicher taritf barrier against the | Philippines than when they were zﬂl'ie-n soil. Dut again the people re|\'nhvd. and through the senate obtained a 25 per cent. tariff concession.” - * There is not a demoeratic paper in the United States that could have I put this in stronger shape. And here |is more . plain talk from the same source: - “Soft words,” runs the homely saying, “butter no parsnips.” The people refused to be (levoi\'vd{b‘\' the men who sought to make Porto Rico foreign soil. They never can be satisfied with more promises about what is to be done some time or other in the Philippires. ) “What the people demand in our new possessions is not fair phrases, but just deeds. Mr. Grosvenor will do well to bear this fact in mind, and when he returns to Washington to square his acts with his speech.” : It is really refreshing to-find so much independence in a paper that has long been regarded as one of the most truly loyal organs of the republican party. Besides the exhibition it makes of serious family discord, it is far more valuable as showing the trend toward independence in. journalism.

POLITICAL DRIFT.

"——Whatever may be said of the beet sugar republicans’ treachery to their party, it was no weoerse than the administration forces® treachery to the cause of reciprocity.—Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.). ——For a man who vaunts himself upon his independence of other people’s opinions Mr. Roosevelt is a mast supple and aclaptive person when the machine politicians: of his party are involved. No president ever has shown a more eager desire to conciliate the Dbosses.—Chicago Chronicle (Dem.). 305 ——Ordering a whole province to be made a howling wilderness and the killing of all over ten years of age may be the modern system of warfare, but it sounds mightily like the middle ages. It must be remembered that the homes, the wives and the little ones of the Filipino are as dear to his heart as ours are to us, and his devotion to the stars. and stripes is not likely to be enhanced by such strenuous achievements. : ——DBut ‘if, in the course of his investigations of the operations of trusts and combines. it should happen to occur to Mr. Littlefield that some of the most extortionate and exasperating of the monopolies are sheltered by tariff schedules which are not needed for protection or revenue, what will he do then?—Washington Post (Ind.). : ——The attempt of the junior senator from Indiana to besmirch the character of Gen.

WHAT DEMOCRATS WILL DO. Matters Which Republicans Are Trying to Cover Up Will Be 8 . Thoroughly Aired. The republicans are in a mess; they are unable to agree among themselves: on the most important legislation. The exposure of the looting of the Cuban treasury to aid the sugar trust, the bribing of Gomez and the cruelties in the Philippines have put them on the defensive. - With admirable audaciousness they attempt to divert public opinion from their own sins of omission and commission by charging the democrats with attacking the army. The president sets the pace by making a stump speech at Arlington, and the great trust-controlled daily newspapers take up the refrain. The little organs cdited by the postmasters give tongue in unison. This effort to put the democrats in the attitude of assailing -the army will prove abortive. = The common soldier is all right, and most of the officers from Gen. Miles down. They obey orders; that is the duty of the soldier. The demoecrats do protest and will forever protest against the issuing and carrying out-of orders to make “a howling wilderness” of any territory under the American flag. They protest that to “kill all over ten,” to kill prisi’ﬁxers, to torture by water cure or other Spanish method .

To do -this the democrats must elect a. majority of the next house of representatives and this they will do, if the people agree with them timt the curtain should be raised and the truth known. - No wonder the republicans are on the defensive and are endeavoring to switeh the thoughts of the people from their misdoings by claiming that the army is being attacked. They know, however, ‘that it is the orders issued to the army that is the main point and the officersof the army, for ‘their ‘own honor and reputation, and the honor of the United States will welcome the change. : - To Down the Trusts, Public sentiment in favor of that simple and effective form of anti-trust legislation: which will remove the duties on all articles controlled by the more evil trusts gains strength and volume: day by day. There is a feeling that this is the enly. practical way in which the trusts can be successfully fought. The truth is known that the monopoly trusts could not exist but for the high protective tariff- which creates their monopolies. The further truth is known that the American people pay the gigantic tax imposed by reason of the high tariff which thus fosters and enriches the trusts. This makes plain the manner in which the trusts are to be overcome. The tariff. duties cn all articles controlled by the menopolistic corporations mrust be removed.—St. Louis Republic. ~ Just for a Blind. With a flourish of trumpets it is announced that Representative Littlefield. of Maine, is preparing a bill for the regulation of trusts and combinations in restraint of trade. The republican press takes particular pains to add that this bill is being prepared at the particular request of President Roosevelf, and with amusing ‘eagerness the public is assured that Representative Littlefield is a good lawyer. All this claptrap goes in very_nicely with the statement that the president and Attorney Gemeral Knox are to make speeches in favor of restrictive laws. And, meantime, one can only wonder whether there are any people remaining who are deceived with this fake anti-trust aggressiveness, and if there are, how long they will remain so.—Dßuffalo Enquirer. )
