Just as has jeen freely predicted, the
ffs'eeley case is not to be heard until af
ter the election.
Sir Thomas Lipton has announced
that any gentleman in the pork, game,
calling for a "sight" will get it.
It turns out that Sir Thomas Upton
nnd not President McKinley, is respon
sible for the high price of hogs.
When the powers present their claim
for indemnity, China may file a counter
tlaim for property stolen by the Inva
ders. It is now about time for both parties
o get their reasons for defeat arranged
in order for possible use after the elec
tion. Both parties now being sure of the
election of their respective candidates to
he presidency, they may be expected to
turn their attention to securing a ma
jority in the next congress.
The same persons who are now de
claring that the currency question is the
paramount issue, probably would as
e rt just as strenuously, in the event of
Mr. Bryan's election, that the result did
not mean that the people favored free
silver.
The fruit trade of this country Is as
puming an importance hardly second to
the cereals. The strawberry crop is said
to be worth $80,000,000, apples 1200,000,000,
Granges and peaches t20,0O0,0O0, and suf
ficient other small fruits to bring the to
tal to $500,000.000.
When Mr. Bryan charged that his de
feat w as to be purchased with money if
tossible, opponents asserted that he was
(scared and was preparing for his down
fall. Now Republicans say that 10,000
illegal voters are registered in New
York. Is there any scare about that?
A municipal ownership movement
Kvith some new features is underway in
Wisconsin. The legislature last winter
passed a law authorizing municipalities
to issue negotiable bonds for the estab
Sishment of telephone systems. A pri
vate corporation with a capital of $300,
poo has been organized, and will estab
Sish a plant in any town, taking the
bonds in payment. The bond draws 5
ter cent interest and runs for 30 years.
per cent being set aside annually as
e sinking fund. When the bonds mature
the municipality will own the plant un
incumbered. The charge to subscribers
iwill be Vi per annum.
The New York Herald's canvass gives
IMcKinley 25S electoral votes to 108 for
3?ryan, and places 21 in the doubtful
column. It sets down as doubtful only
hree states, Indiana, with 15 votes, and
IMontana and Idaho with 3 each. It
Itransfers Kansas with 10 votes. South
Dakota with 4, Washington with 4 and
Wyoming with 3 from Bryan's column
Jn 18S6 to MeKinley's this year, and
Rives to Bryan Maryland with S votes
end Kentucky with 13, though both
ttlates have been regarded as good fight
Sng ground for the Republicans, espe
cially Maryland. The significant fea
uies of the Herald's survey are that
New Tork state is set down as unalter
ably committed to McKinley and that
McKinley's election is assured by a
large majority without the vote of In
diana. Giving all the doubtful votes
ti Bryan, he was still 35 votes short of a
riajority in the electoral college and 69
rVotes behind McKinley.
The use of the injunction as a legal
nveapon is discussed by the Chicago
SNe'ws as follows:
It was inevitable that in the course of
time the board of trade would turn the
ftables on the bucket shops and win a
tremendous victory over them. This
turning and this victory happened, in
fact, in Judge Kohlsaat's court yester
day when a temporary injunction was
granted forbidding one Stone and oth
ers from obtaining, selling or distribut
ing the quotations of the board. The re
straining order will cut off quotations
from many bucket shops, and it is only
necessary to extend its scope in order
to cut off all bucket shops.
This is an important victory. But the
.pirategetlcal moves by which it was ob
tained were perfectly simple. Hereto
fore the bucket shop has always got the
Injunction restraining the board from
shutting off its quotations. The board
i as the defendant, the party against
iv horn the injunction ran. But now the
toard becomes the complainant. It pro
cures the injunction running against the
tucket shop. It is simply a question of
nvho is going to be shut off. If the buck
et shop moves first the board is shut
off. If the board moves first the bucket
chop is shut off. It is a question wheth
er you are going to get the injunction
yourself, restraining the other fellow, or
(whether the other fellow is going to get
one restraining you. The advantage de
rivable from this simple legal principle
Is so obvious that it is a wonder the
board has not moved in this direction
tie fere.
In any lawsuit always enjoin the other
ide before that side has a chance to en
Join you.
FACTS ABOUT TRUSTS IX.
From the New Tork World.
Let us suspend for a moment the ex
ami natlonvrf specific trusta for the pur
pose of presenting in tabular and there
fore graphic form the gratitude of pro
tected trusts to the people who have
taxed themselves now these many years
n their behalf.
. The following table shows not only
that, the self-sacrificing American citi
zen pays the duty which makes the for
eign article en article of luxury, hut that
his taxfattnKi beneficiary sells the
product of the domestic infant industry
to the foreigner for less than he charges
his American gull.
Here is a table which compares the
American and English prices for sev
eral trust articles.

because he has taxed himself to exclude

Luther Dickerson. farmer, waa on
the streets todav, complaining that
town boys, while hunting near his
place recently, killed a yearling calf.
Mr. Dickerson said it was done inten
tionally; that town boys will do any
thing when out in the country. The
reporter to whom Mr. Dickerson told
his story contended that the shooting
was an accident, and of course it was.
The reporter warmly defended boys.
and Mr. Dickerson finally told some of
the pranks he engaged in when a boy.
Once he assisted a lot of other boys in
lifting an old ram to a neighbors roof.
Boys are abused the world over, and
often unjustly. The Globe, a friend
of the boys, suggests to them, when they
go into the country hunting, that they
remember the rights of country people.
it is not necessary to be a rough in
order to enjoy a hunting excursion. It
always pays to be a gentleman.

Mil. SHELDON IN BOSTON.
Paper at the Hub " Fears His Serv
ice Slay Become Erratic.
From the Boston Transcript
We do not Question, the innate good
ness or "the entire sincerity of purpose
of Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, but. as the
self-appointed exponent of what cnrist
would do in various given situations,
there is danger that his service may be
come erratic, and, consequently, mis
leading, when he doubtless intends it to
be stimulating and uplifting. He has
spent some time in Boston, and has
made a study of the business lite of the
city with respect to the particular
standard which he has set up. In an
address before the Society of Christian
Endeavor in New York, Tuesday night,
he was not able to give a report of his
findings mat he considered very encour
aging: "To his inquiries some men re
plied that they believed that 10 per cent
of business men in Boston would receive
Jesus Christ as an associate; other esti
mates were as low as 1 per cent." If 10
per cent of our business men. or even 5
per cent, would be willing to receive
Christ as an associate, and give him an
equal voice in the direction of their op
erations, the situation may be consider
ed quite hopeful. That is the ultimate
test of Christianity, and one man in ten
or twenty who could meet it would
make a very gratifying leaven. But why
pick out the business community, as he
ias mine once Derore, lor tnese renec
tions? How many churches would per
mit Christ to preach in their pulpits?
He was no theologian. He might come
direct to the sacred desk after eating
and drinking with publicans and sin
ners, and what a profanation that
would be. He was the arch heretic of
his time, and should he return he would
doubtless distance all the heretics of the
present time. When he appeared among
men he was ahead of his time. Should
he return now he would be just as far
ahead of it, and that would breed trou
ble at once. Should Christ return to
earth he would be quite as likely to con
tinue his mission from the store, the
bank or even the machine shop, as from
the pulpit.

Gor. Roosevelt Says He is Being

Chicago, Oct. 1C The following tele
graph correspondence between Secretary
Perry S. Heath, of the national Repub

Roosevelt has been given out at Repub

"Theodore Roosevelt: Following mat

in Kansas and other states:
"Governor Roosevelt said in a speech
in Cooper Institute, in New York city,
in 1S96: 'The way to get rid of Bryan

stand it up against the wall and shoot
it. to death.' And in a speech delivered
in Chicago just after the great strike:
'Any person who would join a strike or
go near one. ought to be shot.' Will the
man w ho earns his bread by labor sup
port the Roosevelt ticket?

"Both statements are absolute lies,

Cooper Institute or anywhere else. If
responsible people circulated them I
would suggest a suit for criminal libel.
I explicitly denied them in Kansas City
speech. They are slanderous lies which
only could be circulated by scoundrels,
and which are known to be lies by the
people who invented them and the people

WAR IN SOUTH CHINA
Rebellion is Assuming Formid
able Proportions.
Hong Kong, Oct. 16. A column of
troops was dispatched this morning to
the Kowloon frontier, with the object
of barring armed refugees, either rebels
or imperial troops, from entering British
territory when defeated.
The rebels are reported to be 3.000
strong, thirty miles north of the British
frontier. A thousand of Admiral Ho's
troops are in pursuit of them, while two
thousand Chinese troops have left Can
ton, overland, to intercept the rebels.
Admiral Ho has informed the governor
that the rebellion was carefully planned.
The rebels are anxious to conciliate the
villagers and gain the respect of for
eigners, hence the absence of outrage
and pillage. All indications point to the
rising being widespread. Outbreaks oc
curred simultaneously in several centers
of Kwang-Tung and Kwang-Su. 5 Ap

Paris, Oct. 15. Germany is the only
power which has not replied formally to

This refers to the permanent prohibition

agreeing w ith the principle, Japan offers
suggestions as to how the prohibition
can be best accomplished.

HANNA IS HOARSE
But Keeps on Speaking Calls
McKinley a Moses.
Waseca, Minn., Oct. 16. Hoarse from
his efforts of yesterday, Senator Hanna
began his speech making in Minnesota
at an early hour today. The first step
was at Owatonna, Minn., in Congress
man Tawney's district and here Mr.
Hanna spoke for ten minutes from a
platform erected near the railroad sta
tion. A large crowd had gathered and
gave Mr. Hanna a warm welcome. In
his speech Mr. Hanna referred to Pres
ident McKinley as the Moses of the Re
publican party a sentiment which was
enthusiastically applauded.
He spoke in part as follovs:
"All the issues that have been present
ed in this campaign, free silver, imper
ialism, trusts and what not, are simply
collateral issues injected into this con
vass to lead the people away from the
real issue. ' The paramount issue before
the people and the only issue wa are in
terested in is 'shall the present condi
tions be continued?' We don't feel any
particular anxiety to accommodate Mr.
Bryan by making him president of the
United States. We do not recognize that
Mr. Bryan has done anything for his
country or the people generally to en
title him to the highest honor in their
gift. Read the public careers of both
the candidates and make your own com
parisons. My friends, all there is to
the question is, aren't we well off?
Aren't we on the road to continued pros
perity, as long as we keep to the land
marks which have marked that pros
perity in this country? Let well enough
alone. Don't swap horses crossing the
stream. Don't change McKinley for
Bryan."
Mr. Hanna then spoke a few words In
warm praise of Congressman Tawney
and urged his re-election to congress,
with the remark that he was one of the
most valued members 6f the house.
Victor I. Dolliver followed Mr. Hanna
in a brief speech at the conclusion of
which the train departed for Waseca,
the next stop.
Mankato, Minn., Oct. 16. At Waseca
Mr. Hanna was interrupted several
times by people in the crowd w ho asked
questions about various trusts. Mr.
Hanna denied there was any coal or
wire nail trust, but admitted, amid
laughter, that there was an ice trust.
"The decline in the price bf wire nails
and everything else that the farmer
buys is over 50 per cent, already" said
Mr. Hanna. "Things will come down to
a normal condition and will be regulated
by the supply and demand, just as all
business is regulated. You can no more-
interfere with the laws that govern trade
than you can with the laws that gov
ern nature Itself. Every commodity
that is manufactured in this country is
made by the highest-priced labor in the
world. The laboring man, if wire nails
are high, gets his share of the price."
A stop of 45 minutes was made at
Mankato, where Messrs. Hanna and
Frye spoke to a large assemblage from
a platform in the public square. Sen
ator Frye devoted most of hi3 time to
the discussion of the tariff. Interrup
tions were frequent, many questions be
ing asked the Maine senator in regard to
silver coinage, but the audience was en
tirely good-natured and cheered the
badinage between Senator Frye and his
questioners.
Senator Hanna said in part:
"After a business experience of 40
years, I want to say that just as sure as
the sun rises in the east, if a change
from the present policy and the present
administration is made and Mr. Bryan
is put at the head of the government of
the United States not only a financial
panic will follow immediately but our
industries will be prostrated and will
not recover in ten years. How ridicu
lous it is to talk about yielding to the
ambitions of any man, simply because
he has an insane desire to be president,
to talk of tearing down all that we have
built up in these 40 years, to talk of
withdrawing the United States from
the place where Air. McKinley has put
it, in the very firing line of nafions.
Why, if no other interest would impel
us, our patriotism would say 'God for
bid." Our pride in our country would
say 'God forbid.' But there is something
that comes closer home than all that, it
is the welfare and comfort of our wives
and children. That has the first call
that should influence the head of every
house. In 1896 there were some people
in this country who believed Mr. Bryan
was at least honest in his opinions. Ev
ery day adds to the number of men who
voted for him in 1S96, who say they do
not believe he was ever honest in his in
tentions, that he has been playing the
part of a hypocrite and that for this
same insane desire for office, he will sac
rifice even his own self-respect."
Beyond Mankato, Senator Hanna's in
tinerary included brief stops at New
Ulm, Tracy and Marshall.Minn., with an
evening meeting at Watertown, S. D.

London Stewards Conclude Investi
gation of Escurial'a Lost Race.
London, Oct. 16. After a searching in
quiry into the running of the American
horse Escurial at Newmarket October
11, the stewards of the jockey club have
completely exonerated from all blame
the owner, Mr. J. A. Drake, and the
trainer, Wishard. Suspicion had been
cast on Leister Reiff, the Jockey, owing
to Escurial losing, though he had been
confidently expected to win. The stew
ards say that although they are not al
together satisfied, they do not consider
the evidence sufficient to prove the horse
was pulled or to justify the withdrawal
of Reiff's license.
