PEFFER'S PANACEA.

He Tells the People of Erie what to Do
TO Be Saved From Evil Government.
ERIE, Aug. T.-ISpecial 1.-The auditor
ium at the Conneaut Lake Exposition
grounds was we'll filled this afternoon, when
Congressional Nominee Sibley was an
nounced as chairman of the day. He opened
with a burst OF oratory in regard to the
american House of Lords" He then very
cleverly introduced one of the lords in the
person of United States Senator PETER, the
speaker of the day, as an illustrious child Of
Pennsylvania and citizen of,Ksnsas. The
theme which the Senator had chosen was
"a New FRA in Politics" He said:
We people of Kansas are a peculiar people.
We have starteda new ara in politics wnlcn
will sweep triumpnantly over the whoie
land. What do mean by the new era In
politics? ! will tell you A time has 1. come come
tions and not break them down. rebellfo4
of thought and mind that will benent an
mankind, and not a chosen few. and instead
class and for class, 1t will be Of the people,
for the people and by the people.
The Senator then entered into the histor-
ical aspect of the question, going over the
growth of the country and its industries,
showing how happy and prosperous people
were in the 'tgood old time" in their indi-
vidual liberty until the present form Of CEN
tralization of industries began. To-day the
great mass of the people are depending
upon the few who control the great indus
tries and own the capital necessary to
operate them. He depicted the evils of the
time, but could not give his hearers what
they wanted, namely, good, reasonable
way to remedy the existing state of affairs.
Referring to the present labor troubles, he
gave three remedies: First, let them alone
as long as they do not destroy property, and
let them settle it themselves. Second, if
the State must interfere, it should do so in
favor of both. Third, if the Government
must interfere, then own and operate these
industries Hon. Jerry Simpson was un-
avoidably absent.

DISCUSSING DEATH BENEFITS.

The Second Days Session of the Grand
Lodge an Interesting One-Conferring
Of Past Chancellor Desrees-some Prize
Drills To-day.
The second days session of the Grand
Lodge Of the knights of Pythias opened at
8 o'clock at the Grand Opera House yester-
day morning. There was larger number
of delegetes present than at the former ses-
sion. The meeting was called to order by
the Grand Chancellor and the roll was
called, after which the password was taken
by the sergeant-at-arms. The minutes of
yesterdays meeting were read and ap-
proved. Then the interesting ceremony Of
comforting the past ohancellor's degrees
upon 81 past chsncellors was gone through,
after which the report of the Committee of
Finance was read and adopted as presented.
The Most Interesting Feature.
Then came the most interesting feature
of the days session. It was the report of
This 10 an optional benefit for the members
of the order and pays $3.50 upon death. The
fee is 20 cents per month, subject to assess
ments if necessary. It was proposed to take
the control of . that department out of the
hands of the Grand Lodge and place it un-
der the control of the subordinate divisions.
Heretofore the Grand Lodge has ap-
pointed all the officers of the relief fund
and has managed all its affairs The Grand
Lodge officials ex-oficio are members of the
Advisory Committee who control the fund.
Membership can only be obtained by appli-
cation and ballot through the subordinate
lodge to which the applicant belongA Thus
every member Is made q guard against the
admittance of anyone who is not in good
health.
A great many members of the order con-
tend that the government of the relief fund
should be In the hands OF those who are
members of it, and that it should not be
governed by the Grand Lodge. The subject
will hardly be acted upon at this convention
as it was not known that it would be
brought up and the delegates were not in
structed howto vote on the matter. The
delegates do not seem disposed to take the
responsibility themselvea The meeting ad-

plans are that Shortbridge, independent

the deal will be effected, and the Democrats
will secure the electoral votes Tregen

fight would be athree-cornsred one. Should
the Democrats indorse Shortbridge it IL be-

ALI patrons of the trotting track will be
startled to-day when they learn OF tho
above performance of Nancy Hanks For
long time Maud 8 has held sway on the
regulation track, and there were many who
thought that the only trotter capable OF
lowering her mark was Sunol. Mr.. Bon,
ner, owner of both the mares named, stated
this the other day, but the feat has been
accomplished.
Maud s made her famous record OF 2:OoZ
on the Cleveland track on July 30, 1850.
She was driven by w. w. Bair.
On the 20th of last October Sunol startled
the world by going the mile in 2:osH on
the kite-shaped track at Stockton, Cal She
was driven by Charles Marvin, now st
Meadyille. There was much opposition to
this record because of its being made on
kite-shaped track.

Reviewed by Grand Lodge OhcerA.
The parade after passing over the route
as given in yesterday mornings DISPATCH
reached Sherman avenue about O'Clock,
where they passed in review before the
officers of the Grand Lodge; the Reception
Committee, all of the standing committees,
the Supreme Representative, Past Grand
Chancellors and the Marshals. A great
crowd had gathered there and watched the
review with great interest. The review
was finished at 5 o'clock and
the Knights dispersed. One popularity re-
marked by q great many people was the
rapid step taken by the Knights throughout
the line of march. They were going very
near double quick time. Not few COM
plants were heard about the length of the
route, but, notwithstanding the heat, very
few dropped out of line until after they had
passed the review. The whole event passed
off smoothly, the only bitches being caused
by the rapid transit cars and the large pro-
cession attempting to occupy the narrow
streets at the same time
Although the committee in charge of the
formation did all in their power to place the
men in their positions. there were some 45O
men who could not find out where they were
to 60 and so did not appear in the parade.
A great many of them went over to Sher-
man avenue and watched the review.
