llOLTKUS V\ME STATE TIC KET.
Free Silver Democrat! In Ohio .Com
plete Their Work.
The bolting Ohio democrats In sesslun
at Columbus, nominated the following
ticket last night:
Governor, Dr. Rudolph Reemelln; lieuten
ant governor, Henry C. Oordery; supreme
Judge, Rial M. Smith; state treasurer, J. C.
Bhepard; attorney general, S. L. Clark;
I clerk of supreme court, Charles Bonsall:
member of board of public works, R. B.
Connell.
It was decided to call the new organiza
tion "the progressive democratic party."
Other names proposed were: "The Bryan
democratic party," "the independent party"
and "the reform party."
Harmony prevailed throughout the pro
ceedings till it came to the selection of a
name. J. W. Lindsay, who met with three
other populists in the state conference last
nijfht, wanted to call the orga.niza.tlon "the
independent party," so as to Include all
"who were opposed to Hannaism." and
when Chairman Groot announced that the
convention had voted to name the organi
zation "the progressive democratic party,"
I>indsay said he would not co-operate auy
further.
A state executive committee of nine
members was selected, and this committee
spent the evening in arranging for cam
paign work.
it is customary for conventions in Ohio
to authorize their state committees to till
vacancies, but this was not done. After
Chairman Groot and others left last night
Dr. Iteemelin positively declined the nomi
nation for governor, and it was reported
that others would not accept.

CAPTAIN STREET HONORED
GIVEN A RECEPTION BY COMRADES
or the r. v. r.
Function Marked by Felicitations
Upon the Captain's Safe Return
Front the Philippine*.
An enthusiastic reception was given last
evening by the members of the Union Vet
eran Union to the former commander-in
chief of the organization. Captain Harlow
L. Street, and his wife. Captain Street
has been serving in the \irmy in the Phil
ippines for the past two years and recently
returned to Washington. The reception
took place in the large hall of Typographi
cal Temple, which was handsomely deco
rated with United States flags.
Gen. Samuel R. Strattan presided. Others
on the platform were Capt. and Mrs.
Street, Gen. John F. Meachem, Gen. Robt.
Alton, Gen. J. H. Hayes, Col. Frank T.
Howe, Cols. John McElroy and John G.
Burchfield,, Gen. F. F. Bogia, 8. F. Ham

ing, J. Anderson, J. W. Lewis and Gen. C.

After music by the orchestra prayer was
offered by Rev. Mr. Lincoln. An original
song, composed in honor of Capt. Street's
safe return and set to the air of "When
Johnny Comes Marching Home," was sung
by the audience.
The address of welcome was delivered by
Col. Strattan, who, in the course of his
remarks, told how anxious the members
of the Union Veteran Union had been
about Capt. Street since he left Washing
ton two years ago. They had, he said,
prayed that he might escape shipwreck,
the dangers of war, and especially that he
might not fall into the hands of the Fili
pinos, in which event he might have been
roasted alive. All these prayers, he said,
had been answered.
Letters were read from several officers In
the regular army testifying to Capt.
Street's efficiency in the Philippines and
expressing regret that he had been ordered
away from them. Short addresses were
made by Gen. John F. Meachem, depart
ment commander; Past National Com

D. W. Glassie and J. G. Burchfield. (.'apt.
Street made a suitable response to the sev
eral addresses.
A resolution was adopted stating that it
was the unanimous wish of the Union
Veteran Union of the Department of the
Potomac that President McKinley rein
state Capt. Street in his former position as
commissary of subsistence in the volun
teer army, and then transfer him to the
regular service. The program closed with

VOTED A SICCESS.
Summer School for the Benefit of
Colored Children.
The vacation school for colored children,
which is being conducted by Miss I. I.
Russell and a corps of fourteen teachers,
in the Logan School building, .'id and G
streets northeast, has, it is understood,
been a very successful experiment. Two
hundred and fifty pupils are enrolled, with
a daily attendance of 200. The school has
been conducted on summer methods. There
has been no necessity for severe discipline,
the purpose being to make the school and
the environments so interesting and at
tractive that there will be no need for
punishment.
The parents have shown great interest
in the vacation school, and pupils attend
from all parts of the city and from the
suburbs as far as Brookland. The chil
dren are given an outing each week. July
4 they had a gala day at Madre's Park,
Eckington; July 12 they visited Soldiers'
Home, July 19 was spent at the Zoo, July
20 a picnic was given at Madre's Park by
the teachers of the school, a full orchestra
was in attendance, and the children played
ball, croquet and many other games.
Swings and dancing had their places in the
program.
Dr. U. S. Montgomery, the assistant su
perintendent, made weekly visits to the
school and taught in each room. Dr. J. H.
N. Waring,-supervising principal, also vis
ited the school. Dr. E. D. Scott showed
great interest in the work and gave a talk
Monday, July 22. The teachers and pupils
sp*nt July 31 at Mt. Vernon. Through the
generosity of Mr. Geo. H. Harries a spe
cial car was provided to convey the pupils
from the Logan School to the depot of the
Mt. Vernon railroad. Arriving at Mt. Ver
non lunch was served, and then a survey
of the buildings and grounds was begun.
This ended, the party returned home.
The teachers in the school are Miss I. I.
Russell, Mr. J. C. Nalle, Miss M. I>. Jor
dan, Miss A. V. Saunders, Miss E. V.
Campbell, Miss Martha Liggons, Miss Ma
rie A. D. Madre, Miss S. A. Gaskins, Miss
M. E. Wilson, Miss Lulu Davis, Miss Helen
Shaw, Miss Ada Henderson, Miss Amelia
Alexander, Prof. J. T. Layton.
Mil. BABCOCK REPLIES.
AnttnerN Crl t Iclmn* on Introduction
of His Tariff Bill.
A special to the New York Tribune from
Milwaukee says: Congressman Joseph W.
Babcock, chairman of the republican con
gressional committee, has replied to his
critics on the Introduction of his tariff bill
In a letter written from Marienbad, Aus
tria, to Mr. Taylor, editor of the South
western Wisconsin, published at Linden, In
Mr. Babcock's district. The letter is self
explanatory, as follows:
I am an ultra-republican and protection
ist, and have not changed my lifelong
views In the least. In introducing the bill
that I did I sought to cover such articles
are are manufactured cheaper in the United
States than in any other country. The
charge that the bill is crude is true, and
it can only be perfected by hearings before
the ways and means committee. The fact
as to each Item will then be brought out.
Those who have rushed to attack my prop
osition have assumed that I propose to
place all articles made by trusts on the
free list. That is not my proposition, and
consequently their arguments have been
directed against that which I have not af
firmed. On the contrary, I have no sym
pathy with the democratic idea that the
duties should be removed from all trust
made goods, for that would be free trade.
For Instance, the greatest revenue pro
ducer we have is sug%r, handled and con
trolled by a trust, but, Inasmuch as protec
tion Is necessary for the cane growers of
the south and the beet growers of the
north, the tariff should remain. The theory
of republican protection is and has been to
build up our own institutions by protecting
labor and material so that in ths end we
might as a Jiation become industrlklly, as
well as politically, independent of the world.
By the practice of this republican polioy
we are today not only making all that we
consume of many commodities, but also
are able to manufacture some for less than
any other people. Bo It has come to pass
that some articles, the like of which years
ago we imported nearly all we consumed,
we can today produce and undersell the
world. Now, to th* point; Aft?r we havs^

Hi, Friedlander <6k. Bro,
Corner Ninth and E Streets.
bullded so well, and many of these Indus
tries have beoome ^ knotvn, shall we con
tinue a tariff on articles that are, In fact,
like the products of our farms, articles of
export? How can such a, policy be defend
ed? If Congress maintains a tariff on
such articles the yy'hol^ theory of protec
tion falls to the ground", and It simply In
ures to the benefit bf those who may se
cure the control tit atl}1.* such commodity,
since by its aid they can fix exorbitant
prices in the domestic market.
I maintain that it is a part of the policy
of protection to protect the consumers.
This is, perhaps, trie only thing that Con
gress can do at the present time. I would
not touch a schedule where the tariff was
needed to protect labor. The only answer
that has been so far made to my proposi
tion to place certain articles of Iron and
steel on the free list Is that It would in
jure the small manufacturers and would
benefit the trust. This statement has
been made by 8. E. Payne, chairman of
the ways and means committee, and by
John Dalzell, who is second on the com
mittee. I have great regard for both of
these able gentlemen and due respect for
their opinions; but as a business man I
realize that the small manufacturer must
produce his goods as cheaply as the larg?
one. It Is a settled, fixed rule of trade that
if one ooncern cannot produce equally
with another It must go out of business.
Therefore I cannot see the force of the ar
Kment used by my distinguished col
igues; but it is to be remarked that the
trust is rapidly buying up the smaller con
cerns, owning now about 75 per cent of al)
in producing capacity, and will no doubt
seoure absolute control of practically ell
In the near future. The Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, realizing the" condl
ons, has just purchased one of the large
ennsylvanla steel plants, presumably bo
that it might be in a position to proteot
Itself and make ita own rails. Would they
for a moment enter into this new field,
which is foreign to their business as com
mon carriers, unless they considered the
danger of exorbitant prices for steel rails
imminent? I desire to call your attention
to the testimony of Representative Tayler
of Ohio before the industrial commission.
You will observe that he, like other dis
tinguished gentlemen, is determined that
the tariff schedules shall not be changed:
but when he came to the question of
trusts or trade combinations, to use a
slang phrase, he was "long on criticisms
and short on suggestions."
I fully indorsed the Dingley bill, an4.yet
think that at the time it passed it was a
wise, Judicious measure. Mr. Dingley was
one of the best, if not the best, informed
member of Congress on the tariff subject.
In fact, he was often called the "encyclo
pedia of the House." He was a states
man in the broadest sense of the term.
But conditions have changed since the
Dingley bill became a law. In fact, the
world has never known such industrial
growth as has taken place in the United
States since President McKinley was first
elected. The conditions that confront us
today are new, and should be met and
handled from a republican standpoint,
fearlessly. In my opinion tne only argu
ment that nas been made against my
proposition lies In the statement that to
undertake to amend the tariff law disturbs
trade and unsettles business to a greater
or- lesser extent. This argument would
have conclusive force if the democrats
Itrere In control, but there la nothing to
ear from a republlcon Congress. When
tariff changes are made the friends of pro
tection should make them. Your* truly,
J.W. PXBCOCK.
