THE RECORD BROKEN.
Two Contested'Seat Cases Settled with
out Division.

Copyright, 1855, by the California associated Press
WASHINGTON, June 12Ih.-The most re-
markable occurrence in the House to- day
was the settlement of two contested cleo
ton cases without a division or a protest
Indeed, the occurrence was unprecedented.
So quiet were the cases settled that they
attracted little or no attention. The cases
were those of Frank against Glover, from
Missouri, affirming Glover's right to retain
his seat, and Lynch against Vandever, from
the Sixth California District, affirming
Vandever's right to his seat. Both of these
cases were settled on exactly the same
principle.
THE sULLIvAN-FELToN CONTEST.
The postponement of the Sullivan FELTON,
case till after the Chicago Convention por-
tends rather stubborn and perhaps par
tisan fight. 1t is thought that the commit
tee will decide in favor of FELTON,. In case,
however, of two reports, the prevailing
opinion Is that Felton's right to his seat
will be confirmed. Should it be deter
mined to seat Sullivan, it will be new
turn since Thurman's nomination and the
Democratic policy to capture the Pacific
coast. Before the st. Louis Convention it
was foregone conclusion that FELTON,
would not be unseated. Since then, how
ever, rumors have been afoat of change
of party policy IN favor of Sullivan.

A Weak Attempt to Repeat the Fraud

The Democrats in this State are this
year again practicing their old trick of
making use Of tender-the Third Party
allies-to help in maintaining their sink
ing fortunes. Loaded down by British
Free Trade and Clevelands Bourbon rec
ord. they hope to make the st. John inn
practibles of service TO them by diverting
Temperance voters from the Republican
ranks. But the trick is too transparent
for success. Besides, Rev. Volney Cush-
ing, who Is now traversing the State as a
Third Party candidate, is of light weight,
has but superficial knowledge of the
questions he tries to discuss, and stands
on Free Trade platform. He does not
like 1t that Protection is now the leading
question before the country. He does not
seem to understand that his Democratic
allies forced this issue directly on the peo-
pie by Cieveland's message, by their st.
Louis platform which endorsed that mes
sage, and by their support of the Mills
bill. The Republican platform endorses
Protection and Temperance, while the
Democratic tender, for which st. John is
spouting at $50 a speech, is for Free Trade
and Temperance. Thus the Clevelandites
and the Third Party men are in entire ac-
cord on the exciting issue of the day,
while the former are opposed to all re-
strictive legislation against the liquor
traffic. All thoughtful and practicable
Temperance people will keep entirely
clear of this Free Trade alliance

Hardly a month passes but we read of ter.
rible explosions, and loss of life from
natural gas.
One writer has raked up Chinese history
wherein it appears, that away back in the
time when the famous Chinese wall wal
building, before the use of gas wells was
discovered, terrible explosion took place.
The big wells in some way got the start OF
the little ones, 30 that enormous volumes Of
air were sucked down into those subterra-
mean magazines. When the air reached Ger.
tain proportions, the whole thing went of
like leaky gasoline stove. The result was
horrible in the destruction of lives. The
same writer predicts similar conditions un.
DERIVING the great natural gas belt Of this
country, from Toledo, through Ohio, Indi-
ana and Kentucky, whereby that whole vast
region might be ripped up to the depth of
1900 feet, leaving chasm for the waters OF
the great lakes to pour down into, blottlnR
out every human being in this now densely
populated valley from the face of the earth.
That writer might easily have shown further,
that throughout our whole country not only
in denssly populated regions and cities, but
in country and village houses as we'll, natu-
raj gases far more dangerous than is found
in the lake regions, are carrying of not only
'pig-taif' Cinnamon, but our own families
and friends, during the hot waves Of July
and August.
Scores of people are dying daily from
typhoid fever, diarrh9a, dysentery, cholera
morbus, and infant summer complaints; all
caused by poisonous gases and ferments, far
worse than hydrogen gas or dynamite in their
explosions. Fortunately this latter danger
can all be averted, by the use of a simple
old fashioned remedy, Johnsons Anodyne
Liniment, used internally, as explained 10 q
pamphlet sent free to anyone, by 1. s. John
son Co.. Boston, Mass. No matter If you
have used this remedy before, it will pay
you to get bottle and read the directions, or
send for the pamphlet just to learn how to
use 1t economically. aug. 2,d&wlw.

The Revised Free List,

Not very far from Stamford, Conn.,, ther,
is manufacturing company at the head o
which is well.known and popular Demo
crat, and protested free trader. Nearl,
all his lieutenants and a majority of thei
workmen are Democrats. The raw materi
ais used in their factories are all foreig1
products. Upon their manufactured good
there is a specific duty of 4 cents per pound
and an ad valorem duty of SO 1-3 per cent
In spite of this protection German ant
Spanish manufacturers send to this countr,
moderate quantities of the same goods. The
company is prosperous, and most of the EN-
ployes are getting homes of their own. We
dare not say how large a percentage the
owners are getting on their investment. bu
probably no manufacturing business in Con.
necticut pays better.
The Mills bill as originally drawn put theil
goods on the free list. Immediately the
company sent to Washington their regular
lobbyist, but he failed to alter the bill
Another member of the company was added
and presented their side of the case in about
this style; ''Our mills are located in the
doubtful States of Connecticut and New
Jersey. Nearly all of our workmen vote
the Democratic ticket. Unless you take our
manufactured goods from the free list our
men will vote the Republican ticket this fall,
and, being too strong, may decide the issue
of the election"
The Mills committee, on this representa-
ton, struck out these goods from the free
list, and, not only that, but actually increased
the specific duty from to cents per pound
and the I'D valorem duty from 50 1-S to IS
per cent.

The Honest Confession of an Indepen.
dent

dent.
An independent, resident in the South
and long familiar with every aspect of our
civil service, both at home and abroad, has
written to the Boston Evening Transcript
a most interesting and significant confess
sion Of the way in which he was taken in
four years ago through confidence in Mr..
Cleveland. He relates his experience and
gives his judgment in these terms:
had confidence, from Mr.. Cleveland's
course as Governor of New York, in his sim
cere friendship for reform and in his courage
and persistence in carrying it out, even
against his party leaders, which | was fully
convinced he would have to encounter. 1t is
true was warned against this over-confidence
by prominent leader of the reformers, who
had known Mr.. Cleveland long and intimate
ly, and who had strongly supported him for
Governor, but who did not support him for
President. He wrote me during the cam
paign that | over-estimated Mr.. Cleveland's
services in behalf of reform, and that if
elected he would make a thoroughly partisan
President This is just exactly what 1 con-
slider that he has done with very few notable
exceptions, and this is fully admitted by Mr..
Curtis, the Evening Post, New York Times,
and all the leading organs of the reform
movement. And yet, with strange incon-
sistency, some of them are supporting him
for a second term. Perhaps no President has
ever more thoroughly prosttuted the govern
ment service to the demands of the ''spoils-
men" than has President Cleveland in Mary
land, in Indiana and all over the South.
We do not consider it creditable to the
intelligence of this Independent that he
was humbugged into the support of such
a man as Grover Cleveland in 1884, but
we concede his honesty then and now.

Does This Look Like Free Trade?'

The Hon. Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, i.
chairman of the Ways and Means Committee
On the Fourth of July in a public address,
delivered in the city of New York in analy
zing his Tariff bill, he asked the question
docs that look like Free Trader"
The Mills bill declares for:
Free Trade in lumber, which we produce
to the value of $500. 900 900 annually.
Free Trade in wool, of which we produce
over 800, 100000 pounds annually.
Free Trade in salt, of which we produce
nearly 40 200 900 bushels annually.
Free Trade in flax, hemp, jute and othel
fibers.
Free Trade in cement, potash lime ant
brick.
Free Trade in meats, game, and poultry.
Free Trade in vegetables, peas and beans
Free Trade in stone.
Free Trade in at least 100 other articles
produced in this country, most of which
would be produced in sufficient quantities
for home consumption if properly protected
Mills had become alarmed at the popu.
lar uprising against his bill, and coming
to New York to address the cunning par
tisans of Tammany he thought it would
be polite to come down from his Free
Trade hobby horse, and try to deceive
the public by apologizing and trimming
But he made laundering work of it.

vote the Republican National ticket this year
against the Democratic policy, which
threatens them and their families with the
want and suffering that follow loss of en-
ployment. When Blaine gets home and sets
forth the practical consequences of this
British policy which Cleveland wishes adopt
ed in America. we may expect an Irish
exodus to the Republican camp in New York
exceeding that of 1884.

Points of resemblance between the po-
litical campaign of 1910 and that of the
present year have frequently been re-
marked upon. Here is another. In July
1910, number of former supporters of
Mr.. Van Buren, publicly advertised in the
columns of "The Daily Advertiser" of
Newark, n. j., their reasons for opposing
his election for second term, as follows {:
We might give many reasons for this
change in our political opinions. The fol-
lowing, however, we deem sufficient. We
do not believe a National debt is National
blessing. We do not believe the price of
labor in this free country should be reduced
to the standard prescribed by despots in
foreign countries. We do not believe in
fighting for the country and being unrepre-
scented or misrepresented in the councils of
the country. We do not believe it was the
design of the trainers of the Constitution that
the President should occupy his time during
his first term in electioneering for his re-
election to second term. Therefore we
believe in one term for Van Buren, and one
term for Old Tip.
Verify, history repeats itself, with sug-
gestive significance which is very striking.

The New York Evening Post is one of
the most persistent and uncompromising
advocates of Free Trade of the English
type. 1t supports the Mills bill because,
like the British peers, the Post thinks
that measure is strong step towards
Free Trade in the national policy. But 1t
often underestimate the intelligence of
the American people. Otherwise it would
hardly make such statement as the fol-
lowing the basis for an editorial:
ION the very day the Mills bill, placing
lumber on the free list passed the House,
came the announcement that the Eau Claire
Lumber Company, with $4,000, 900 invested
in the business, is busy winding up its affairs
as all the members of the company have
got so rich out of the business that they do
not desire to continue further operations"
How long is it since companies began
to wind up their affairs, because they were
so rich that they did not care to go on any
further? The cause of the Post must be
desperate when 1t is obliged to resort to
such false estimate of facts and reasons.

The Outrage Of the Ku-Klux Demo
Gratis in Florida AGAINST Republicans.

Ck&As ~ ioAioA 36aAnSt AePoouCauo.
An intelligent and reliable citizen Of
Florida writes us that few days since
State Senator J. d. Cole, of that State, by
threats and intimidation of armed men in
disguise. was forced to leave Monticello,
In Jefferson county, at night, and told not
to return there until after the election.
Senator Cole had gone there to attend a
county committee meeting and to re-
organize the party in that county, but he
was prevented from doing this by Demo
cratic violence and intimidation.
The Monticello Constitution, which il
edited by an old Democratic fossil, has a
long editorial on Coles .'sudden disap-
pearance- in which these Ku-klux hints
appear:
''He was known to be in town the day be-
| fore, and frequent visits we're made to his
room without result, and his sudden disap-
pearznce was really surprising.
We prefer to live in peace and friendship
with the senator, but we cannot do so while
his political views and conduct are antago
nistic to our every interest. The
talk of organizing the Republican party in
this county is a wild chimera. 1t cannot be
done successfully in the face of compact
harmonious Democracy, and half of the col
ored men of the county in accord with us.
While it is impossible for him t.
secure political party success in this county
still his conduct in attempts to secure it by
efforts at the organization of the black ele
ment, has a tendency to disorganize laboi
and demoralize the black man--to create
bad feeling and strife among the races
disorder and violence"
1t is by such language as this coinet
into acts that the Democrats hold powe
in the South and send men to Congress
to force Free Trade on the country by tn,
passage of the Mills bill.

From all sections of the country, save
where the Ku Klux reigns, comes the evil
dence of the rising Republican tide.
Thousands of Democrats are breaking
from their party allegiance and joining the
supporters of Harrison and Morton,
thoroughly resolved that the British press
and the Clevelandite partisans shall not
destroy Protection to American labor and
American business interests. The Free
Traders are doomed to defeat.
