This is an echo of the Iowa Convention that ought to penetrate the White House. Commencing to Harvest Their Whirl wind. Just at present the republicans have the trusts on their hands. Until a short time ago, Senator Aldricb and his trust protecting colleagues bad not the re motestldeaof permitting the present congress to do more than talk about the trusts. But the president disarrang ed these plans somewbat, by annonnc lag that there would be trust legislation at this session or there would be an ex tra session. At first the representatives ofthetruBts thought that they could induce the president to reconsider bis announcement, by assuring blm that an extra session of congreBS to pass legis ,-r latlon inimical to tbe trusts would pre vent his nomination next year. The president Is reported to have replied, by saying that without effective trust legislation he did not desire the nom ination next year that without snch legislation the republican party would be overwhelmed at the next national election. What tbe outcome will be no one can say. The two factions of the republican party are going sideways in opposite directions.

SEQUEL OF A CAMPAIGN QUARREL Men Had Met on the Street Dally and No Sign Been Given of a Com ing Tragedy. Columbia. S. C., Jan. 10.—Narclsso Gener Gonzales, editor of The State, Is nt the Columbia hospital In a criti cal condition from a pistol wound In flicted by. .lames II. Tillman, lieuten ant governor of South Carolina, and nephew nt* I'nited States Senator Tillman. Tho shooting occurred on Main street, just at the intersection of Gervais street. In full view of the state capitol the most frequented cor ner in Columbia. It was just a few moments before n. m. when the cry was passed along the streets that "Jim Tillman has shot N. (». Gonzales." Wound Is Probably Fatal. Gonzales was taken to the office of The State, where physicians pro nounce his wound very dangerous and probably fatal. Policeman Boland im mediately after the shooting arrested Lieutenant Governor Tillman and took him to tho police headquarters, where he was relieved of two pistols with* ono of which he shot Gonzales. From the police station he was taken to the county jail, where he was kept under protection of ofilcers. The only at tributed cause for the shooting is that during the recent primary election Gonzales bitterly opposed Lieutenant Governor Tillman in his race for gov ernor. Some of Gonzales* "Criticism." 8IIOT DOWN WITHOUT A CHANCE Seems to Have IJoeo the Way Gonzales Met Ills Probable Ueatli Wound. There appears to be no conflict of testimony as to the essential features of the tragedy. Gonzales was walking home alone from his office. Lieutenant Governor Tillman left the state house just after the senate, over which he presided, had adjourned. He came out of the state house accompanied by State Senators Talbord, of Beaufort, and Brown, of Darlington, and was joined on his way up town by Repre sentative-Elect Wyatt Aiken and ex State Deputy Dominlck. The meet ing with Gonzales was just nt the turn of Main and Gervais streets, on the north side of the street. There was no encounter, no fist fighting, no lay ing oirof hands. Tillman, so far as the evidence discloses, simply drew his revolver and fired at Gonzales. Most of those who saw the affair say there was nothing said until after the shot One of Tillman's escorts says he thinks Tillman said: "I re ceived your message," and then fired. He Is not certain of this, but thinks so. The other companion of Tillman says he did not hear anything, but thinks ho would have heard any words if they were spoken. Two or three others say they heard nothing until after the firing of the pistol. Gonzales himself gave an explicit statement of the affair prior to being put under an aesthetics. He was very emphatic in saying that he had not sent any message to Tillman at any time, and that Tillman said nothing until after he had fired after he had shot he said something about taking him (Gonzales^ at his word. Gonzales took this to mean that Tillman told him that he was settling old issues face to face with him. Gonzales Is certain that nothing was said until aft er the shot was fired, when he tottered to the street car transfer station agains which he leaned. Tillman was still pointing his pistol at him, where upon Gonzales said: "Shoot again you coward." Tillman lowered his pistol and walked away. £dltor Gonxales Is Dead* Columbia, S. C., Jan. 39.—Editor Gonzales, who was shot last Thursday afternoon by Lieutenant-Governor Tillman, is dead. The end came at 1 o'clock in the afternoon. In his cell where he has been con fined since the shooting, Lieutenant Governor Tillman heard the news with visible emotion. There is universal sorrow.

Jan. 10.—Most of the testimony presented to the anthracite coal strike commission yesterday was of a corroborative nature, the Erie company producing numerous witness es to prove that the miners' union Is responsible for the alleged restriction of the hard coal production, but It was adduced that the practice of restrict ing the number of cars to be loaded dally by one man had been In opera tion as far imck as 1S95, long before the United Mine Workers entered the anthmcitc region. The union's respon sibility rests with the enforcement of this rule. When oneinantestlfied that he work ed by contract "robbing pillars" and could not get enough cars. Mitchell ex plained that the union regarded with disfavor the practice of miners secur ing certain work by contract. In the first place, he said, the lowest bidder always secures the contract and he employs as many helpers as he deems necessary, paying them smaller wages than they would otherwise receive. This the union considered unjust to the other workmen and Increased the liability of accidents. FATAL FIRE AT CLEVELAND.

Tbe Commoner, Mr. Uryau'a paper, will be eBpeciully interesting and in structive during tbe present session of congress. The action of this congress will probably determine tbe issues upon wbicb tbe next presidential campaign will be fought. Tbe Commoner pro poses to carry on a campaign of educa tion and organization to tbe end tbat democratic principles may triumph. Id addition to the editorial depart ment, which receives Mr. iiryan's per sonal attention. The Commoner con tains a Current Topic department, wherein a non-partisan discussion of topics of timely interest aud other valu able information will be found. The Home department is conducted by an experienced woman who is widely known as a writer of household topicB "and who is an authority on the art of cooking in all that" tbe term implies. This department alone is worth the subscription price. The other depart ments of the paper are all interesting and ably conducted, among wbicb is a summary of tbe world's news told in narrative style, and Mr. Maupin's de partment—Whether Common or Not— contains original anecdotes and wit, moral lessons in homely phrase and verse, and appeals to old and young alike. The Commoner as a whole is clean, entertaining and instructive, and its rapid increase in circulation—now amounting to 140,000—is proof of tbe paper's strength and inlluence. Arrangements have been made with Mr. Bryan whereby The Commoner can be supplied at a verv low rate with the Manchester Democrat both papers for one year for 82.1f. This offer applies to both new and renewal subscriptions, and should be taken advantage of with' out delay.

They're not the kind which wear out in one season, buppose a Scharles' suit does cost $10 more than a ready made -it will wear two or three years longer, and isn't that economy. Just now there is not that much difference in the coet, for we still continue the reduced prices advertised for the last month. All Suits at $5 under regular price. Your choice of heavy overcoats at $22.50. No matter how low the price, the Scharles standard of good workmanship must be main-, tained in every garment we make. SCHARLES,. THE TAILOR.
