Daniel Sumner, miner. died in StreatOr
the other day from injuries received in a fall
of coal in Howe's shaft. He is about the
tenth victim within year. And still the
sacrifice that lands good men in untimely
graves, and throws widows and orphans
upon the world destitute and penniless, goes
on, while the exercise of little care in
bracing the roofs Of shafts, costing but
small sum in comparison to the value Of
human life, would be but the work of a few
IN ,ments.

Blaine Discusses the Trust.

DOVER, Me-, August 31.-Hon. James G..
Blame spoke at Foxcraft this afternoon. In
opening he proceeded at once to consider
alton of trusts, charging that they tlourished
to a greater extent under the free trade policy
of England than under the protective policy
of the United States. He cited authorities
for his statement. OF American trusts, he said
that there is not one among them all that
derives its being, owes its organization, or
comes under the patronage Of the national
government Every one derives whatever
sanction of law it possesses from state govern
ments- generally one state, but sometimes
several. The president, therefore, certainly
should have known when he arraigned trusts
in his message to congress that congress
could not dissolve them when their charters
We're from state Legislatures or their organi-
confessed by the democratic house
ways and means committee, by Chairman
Mills, and by every man that stood as an ad-
vocate of free trade, that trusts had no pos
sible legal connection with the tariff The
presidents charge that trusts had their
origin in the protective tariff has not foot
of ground to stand upon, and was contra
dicted in every line of the free trade expert
ence the speaker had quoted from England.
Now, when all chance to investigate the al
legged bribery by which certain United
States senator, connected with one of the
largest trusts, was charged with obtaining
his seat is past and gone, democratic
papers can make loud howl about trusts.
There was no democratic opportunity to get
the true inwardness of trusts, but they
shrank from an investigation of bribery, and
both outside and inside the administration
they were determined to have no investiga-
ton. Trusts have no place in the national
campaign. They are state issues, and the
republicans of Maine at least can be de-
pended upon to look after those in their own
state,

The Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, August Ex-senator Allison,
chairman of the subcommittee of the senate
committee on finance, having in charge the
preparation of the tariff bill, gives notice in
accordance with an understanding reached
at last nights conference that parties who
wish hearing before the committee, must
make their appearance within ten days. The
hearing by the committee began May 26 last,
and has been continued almost every day
since. Several hundred interested parties
have been heard, including many delegations
of workingmen, and information has been
sought from every possible source. Hear
ings have been conducted practically with
open doors, though in order to prevent
crowdinE and to contribute TO physical COM
fort the admission has been limited usually
to members of thesenate and house of both
parties, and to delegations which presented
themselves to be heard. The evidence has
been geographically reported and printed
from day to day for the information of any
who cared to examine it. The next ten days
is expected to be busy time since, in ad-
dition to the hearings, the sub committee
will have to complete its elaborate report on
the bill.

A Spirited Contest.

STocKHAM, Neb., August 31.-[Special to
The BEE. 1.-The senatorial convention for
the Twenty fifth senatorial district, compris-
ing the counties of Hamilton and Clay, met
in Stockham yesterday. This being the first
convention under the new apportonment
there was considerable strife to see which
county should have the senator first. Clay
county had eleven delegates instructed for
L. G. Hurd, of Harvard. Hamilton had ten
delegates. The latter took umbrage at Clay
county's asserting her right to the senator
ship without consultation and for time it
looked as if Hamilton would refuse to partIc-
ipate in the convention. Clay county finally
the effect that the candidate should secure q
two-thirds vote of the convention to nomi-
nate. Hamilton county then took part in the
proceedings, and on the twenty seventh bal
lot l.. G. Hurd, of Clay county, was noml-
mated.

The NIilwaukee's Latest Out

CHICAGO, August 3l.-The Chicago, Mill
waukee & st. Paul road has finally deter
mined to reduce freight rates between Chi
cago and ST. Paul to a basis of s cents for
first class, to go into effect next Monday.
The reduction is made to meet the rates Of
the Burlington & Northern. 1t has been an
open secret that the St. Paul intended to
take this step in case the recent efforts to in.
duce the Burlington to advance its rates
should fail. The northwestern roads were
unable to reach an agreement to-day, and
General Freight Agent Bird announced that
his road would be compelled to meet the
competition on st. Paul business. In doing
so. however, he adopts the san course pur-
sued by the Wisconsin Central and Chicago,
st. Paul & Kansas City, applying the 40 cent
rate on st. Paul. Minneapolis, Lacrosse and
Winona business, but preserving the go cent
basis to intermediate points, in violation Of
the long and short-haul clause of the inter-
state commerce law,
