to prepare for the discussion aud ex-
planned the situation in his opening re-
marks. Benton named the tariff and how
to remedy it as the subject of discussion.
johnson recited the progress of the country

that under protective tariff the country had
recovered from the ravages of war and had
rebuilt from disasters induced by the poll

gument was the usual democratic argu-
ment that the tariff is tax He errone-

To Save the Train Wreckers.

ALBANY, Sept. 15.-It was learned to-
night from one of the detectives who
have been working on the New York
Central train wreckers case that the
whole fight, when the train wreckers are
brought up for trial, will be centered in
an effort to save Kiernan. He said
Herman was a .shrewd fellow and had
been admitted To all the councils OF the
Knights and knew all their secrets, while
the other men were only tools and acted
under his instructions. All but Kiernan
have, 1t has been learned from reliable
source, made written confessions which
implicate the five men now in custody as
being wreckers, and from the same
source it is said evidence has been
put into the hands of the railroad
officials which will secure indictments
and convictions. The only trouble to be
feared seems to be the jury, which con-
tains men known to be in sympathy with
and who can be influenced by the
strikers. Promised financial aid for the
men who took part in the now defunct
strike arrived to. day. Each man re-
ceived munifcent sum. Some received
$1.25 each and others received as much
as $3.50 each. The ex-strikers are thor
oughly disgusted.

against the senate and Senator Quay, and
to expunge the speech from the Congress

Representative Kennedy was present and
made a statement in defense of his action
sI ana an argument to prove that
the speech as published in the Rec

parliamentary law. The committee de-

to permit Adams of Illinois to refrain from
casting his vote, he having already ex-
pressed his opinion of the speech and the
duty OF the house on the floor, to report
resolution directing the government print

NEW YORK STATE FAIR,

Chauncey Depew Tells the Farmera the
Cause of the Agricultural Depression.
SYRACUSE, Sept. 16.-This was the big
day of the season of the state fair. The at
tendance from the special trains and from
the vicinity was large Notwithstanding the
bad condition of the grounds from last
nights rains. Mr.. Depew addressed a
large audience. He began by calling at
tention to the great growth of the country
during the half century of the society's
existence. He then said: The railroad
first developed the agricultural resources
of our country, then brought on their par
alysis, and now, under wiser administra-
ton on one hand and a moreAiberal under
standing ON the other, the farm and rail
road are seen to be inseparably united as
allies and as passengers; the blight of one
is the bankruptcy of the other. It was
after 1910 tnat capital began to be at
tracted in large amounts to railwry enter.
prises Then came an era of overbuilding.
Railroads were extended through the
wilderness and across the pralries for
thousands of miles where there was neither
ton of freight nor a carload OF paSSen-
gers Every effort was made to stimulate
immigration into the new country from the
east and from European countries. The re-
suit has been to absorb nearly the whole
of our public d,,main and the production
of an enormous surplus of agricultural
products. AS a consequence we have be-
come not only the largest agricultural ma
tion in the world. but we dominate in
prices of the products OF the farm in all the
markets of civilization. In addition to the
largely increased production, Depew
found further cause for the agricultural
depression in the attempt by American
speculators to corner markets. These at
tempts resulted in stimulating the agfi-
culture OF all of the competitors for the
worlds markets. In view OF the depres.
sion brought about by these causes, it
becomes the duty OF the American states
man and the American farmer to look
about for remedies. The first act OF the
farmers OF the United States should be to
intelligently organize. In the present con-
ditioll of the world organization is
a necessity OF existence. Capital or
ganizes In corporations labor or
ganizes in trades, also the manufactur-
ers organize for protection. The farmers
alone have failed to unite in any efficient
and practical way. In conclusion Depew
said: "In my judgment. we are near the
bottom of the grave of agricultural depres-
sion and will soon begin to climb up the
other side"

Another Victim of the Wire.

New YORK, Sept. 15.--It was not on
the bills, but was more thrilling than the
play scene that greeted the large audi
ence as it emerged from the Park theater
at II o'clock this evening Electric light
lineman Kopp was tortured to death on
a pole at Thirty-ffth street and Broad
way right before the eyes of the pleasure
seekers. He was taken to the New York
hospital in dying condition. 1t was a
very funny play-Evans & Hoey's "Par-
lor Match''-tbat the theater-goers had
seen; there we're smiles of remembrance
on many faces. Many of the people saw
Lineman Kopp mounting the pole as
they came out of the theater. He was
there to fix something about the lamps
that controlled the garish lights. Sud
denly it was seen that something was
wrong; the man became limp, and tho
awful sizzle of the electric fluid could be
heard by the crowd below. Electricity
was entering into human flesh. The
crowd below we're spellbound with hor-
ror and was soon augmented Cy many
scores of people who are always on the
streets about the busy corner. It so
happened that superintendent Charles
w. Phipps, of the Brush Electric Light
company was a visitor at the theater.
He came out at this moment, clad in full
dress, and took in the situation at a
glance. With the assistance of Manager
Dunlevy he succeeded in releasing the
lineman from his terrible position. 1t
was too late, however, for the poor man
was already past all help. DR.. Gage,
who was also in the audience, worked
over the man for half an hour in a vain
effort to resuscitate him before the am
bulance arrived The New York hospi-
tai ambulance took the limp body on
board and made rush for Fifteenth
street. When the ambulance arrived at
the hospital the lineman was dead.

Work for the President.

ericsson SPRINGS, Pa, Sept. 15.--It
has been arranged that the river and
harbor appropriation bill shall be for
warded to the president Immediately on
being signed by the speaker of the
house. The president is already familiar
with it's provisions, having brought a
copy of it with him to Cresson, together
with the report of the chief of engineers
of the army in regard to the condition
and necessity of the various public i'm
provements provided for. It is not
likely the public will be kept in igno-
rance for many days in regard to that
measure. Speculation is about evenly
divided as to it's prospects, those who are
sure of veto being about as numerous
as those who are confident of its ap-
proval. The president aud his private
secretary, however, are non-commit-
tai on the point. There is reason to be-
lieve the president is seriously consider
ing the advisability of calling an extra
session of congress. 1t is known that
several prominent republicans have ad-
vised such course with view to an
earlier consideration of the federal elec-
tion bill. Persons who have talked with
the president on this subject say that he
will certainly reconvene congress if GER
tam pending measures in which he takes
great interest are not disposed of at this
session. These include the anti.lottery
bill, the supreme court bill and the labor
bill, now in the senate, and the postal
shipping bill now awaiting the action of
the house. The president is known to
be especially interested in the passage of
the election bill and would probably feel
justified in calling an extra session for
consideration of it and such others of the
important measures now pending as may
not be disposed of at this session.

1.-THE CAUSE OF THE TRAGEDY.
MADISON, Wis, Sept. 15.-The tragedy
at Grand Mound, Ia, to-day created a
profound sensation in this city. Mr.. and
Mrs. Langdon were graduates of the
Wisconsin state university and we're en-
gagged while at school. Later on they
we're estranged and Miss Smith went to
Chicago. She became engaged to Jack
Devan, but on returning to Madison in
the spring once more met Langdon
and discarded Devan. She mar
ried Langdon shortly after and the
couple went to Iowa. Devan followed
them there and the trageny was the re-
suit. Devan is connected with a large
firm of malsters in Chicago. He and
Langdon nearly had a fight several
months ago. Mrs. Smith, mother of the
murdered woman, is FRUSTRATED.

DEMAND THE NAMES.

The Utah commission having returned it
is suggested that the district attorney will
request the names of the forty odd men
which the commission has officially asserted
have committed polygamy within the past
year. If THE HERALD were tc assert that
it had the names of forty men who ha5
stolen horses, committed forgery or broken
any law during the past few months, the
prosecuting attorney would demand the
names and the evidence of the parties guilt,
and falling to get what he asked, would
undertake to make things unpleasant for
the publishers and editors of this paper.
We know of no law which should excuse
the commissioners in case of this kind.
We do not know why, if they are
aware of violations of the statutes
and can name the guilty parties,
they should be permitted to stand between
the accused and their punishment. If
forty, or any other number of men, have
broken the anti-polygamy statutes, the law
and the public demand their exposure and
punishment, and neither the law nor the
public will justify federal officials in pre-
venting the exposure and punishment On
the other hand, If the commissioners have
not the names of these alleged violators.
and have been maliciously scandalizing and
lying about the community for partisan
purposes, ought not those officials to be
exposed and shown up in their true colors
Ought they to be allowed to go on malign-
ing the people with impunity, publishing
to the world falsehoods and making it ap-
pear through sworn reports that the COM
munity is largely given up to criminality
| living in defiance of the laws and conspir
ing to defeat the governments
We respectfully submit that the prose
cutting officer owes it to the Utah commu-
nifty to demand the names of the men who
have been charged by the Utah commits
sion with breaking the law, that these men
may be punished, and failing to get the
names the attorney owes it to the commu
nifty to state the facts of the failure in
vindication of the public against a scan
dalous and vicious assault.

ship. He is lucky if he does not pass
into obscurity. That rule has been
strikiDgly broken in the case of Mr.
CLEVELAND. From the day he left the
White House and became private citizen
he has grown in the esteem and affection
not merely Of the Democracy but of the
American people. He is to-day bigger
man than ever before, and he will be big
ger next year than he is this. He is
recognized as statesman in the broadcast
and best sense of the term. Not only this,
edging him as the foremost man in the
party, and as their leader. Those who
thought the election in 1888 shelved him
are turning to lin as the man to pilot the
party to victory under the banner which
he carried aloft in defeat.
Governor HILL is big man and grow
ing man, and Democrat through and
through, but we don't believe he will be
able to side track GROVER CLEVELAND
within the next two years. We believe
that long before the convention every
Democrat in the country will look upon the
nomination of CLEVELAND as a matter of
course, just as was the case in 'SS, when
not another name was thought of in con-
nection with the nomination. Meantime,
while Governor HILL is industriously
planning to reach the goal of his ambition,
he is doing good work for the party which
has honored him in the past and may yet
find an opportunity to make him the ma
tional standard bearer.
