will be very largely attended. It will
be composed OF 43S delegates, pro-
vided each county sends its full quota,
and the indications IRE that all coun-
ties will see that full delegations arc
present. Mr.. Miller says the party In
the state 10 in pretty good shape, and
while he didn't care to make any pre-

the state ticket, he was satisfied that

Sioux Falls Argus Leader: The
Union County Republican has just
been started in Elk Point. A city or
county is largely known to the outer
world by the character OF it's news
papers. Ii they are prosperous and
progressive the reputation OF the town
stands high. If they are small, week
and poor in advertising, outsiders set
the town rs lacking in thrift and
enterprise. Any community has but Il
limited field. fits patronage is spread
over three paper instead OF two, each
must suffer and through, them the town.
Elk Point has hitherto had two credit
able papers. With the event Of the
third both Of the old ones will suffer.
The business men should recognize
this and should discourage an over
competition which will iniure their
town and themselves. And these re
marks apply not only to Elk Point,
but to every other community in the
state.

from Deputy Sheriff Fred Strobel.
The latter claims he refused to sell it.
Mr.. Naughton claims that it was sold
to him. Anyway, he used the hay on
his large farm. 1t seems more like a
dispute which could be settled by a
civil trial, rather than resort to crimi-
nal proceedings, insomuch as the hay
did not exceed ten tons.

RAIOED The STILLS.
Two of Them Found in Full Blast
at Carlsbad, N. ].
Four Moonshiners Caught Without
Much Trouble.
Everything Rnnning When the
Officers Appeared.
Especial to The Evening worldJ

NEWARK, n. j. Aug. 3O.-The in
ternal revenue authorities at an early
hour this morning made a raid on two
Illicit distilleries, one at Carlsbad and
another at Lodi, and captured four men,
besides "A complete outfit for cheating
the Government out of the tax on
spirits.
This important capture was made by
Deputy Collector Thomas II. Watson,
with Revenue Agent A. II. Brooks and
n half dozen other men in the employ
Of the Department.
The men who were made prisoners
were Thomas r. Meygrett, John f.
Molliard. Pierre Leitendre and Christian
Schwartz. They were at once sent TO
this city and placed in the custody of
United States Commissioner Whitehead.
When the revenue authorities made
their raid on the distilleries. one was
In actual operation, and the other was
still warm from the fire that had been
placed under It. The worm and other
paraphernalia used in these Illicit stills
were complete. and a considerable
amount of the distilled spirits was cap
tured.
The men had been making brandy from
grape juice. and ranged about the rooms
were many casks and bottles. some of
them filed with the stuff.
evident to the authorities that the Gov
eminent was not being paid for all the
spirits sod in Bergen County, and they
set the deputy collectors to work to To-
cate the pace where the spurious stuff
was coming from.
1t was only after long, and careful
search that the stills were located. The
still at Lodi was found to be worked by
Molliard and ,schwarz. and these men
were captured on the premises. This
still was in an old barn. and the neigh
bors have for some time seen strange
lights in the place at the dead of night
and wondered at the cause.
The other still, which was worked by
the other men. Is in an old house that Is
directly on the boundary between Lodi
and Carlsbad.
The still was in the cellar. The revenue
men first visited the Lodi barn and made
their. descent. The men were taken COM
pletely by surprise, and did not offer
any resistance. They were handcuffed
and taken to the Carlsbad House.
i The other raid was also accomplished
without any. opposition. The men are
all acquainted with one another.
When the men were before Commits.

dealer in the Illicit stuff, and also with

The other three men were only
charged with distiliing the spirits, and

and the others all under $1,000 bail

The examinations were set down tc

are the first raids made in this district

xrsPLAcED CAUCUS RULE.

Al Constitutional Convention Is the
very last body In which the iron rule OF
party caucus ought to be enforced. The
delegates to such a Convention are in
trusted with q work vitality affecting
every interest in q State, ana intended
to last for years. Its results are not
like the doings Of q legislative session,
which may be reversed in twelve
months or changed IL found in conflict
with the public interests. They lay
down the fundamental principles to
which all legislation must conform, and
regulate the whole policy of a State for
many years to come. However object
tionable they may prove, 1t takes some
time before they can be altered. even
H the people set about the work at once.
D It Ia inconsistent to compel the dele
gates In such a body to surrender their
own IDEAS and convictions of what Is
right and for the benefit of the State
NJ the dictation of a party caucus, con-
trolled not by the delegates themselves,
but by outside bosses and machines.
The Democratic minority in the body
At Albany are right In fighting against
this outrage to the bitter end and In
making their opposition 80 strong as to
impress upon all fair-minded citizens
itB enormity.
The. m ajority of the Convention has
from the start shown a determination
TO make its proceedings partisan. But
the caucus rule In matters of the most
vital interest is a Gaping Of the climax.
The caucus is ruled by Mr.. Platt, and
what sort OF a constitution can the peo-
pie expect from the hands Of that re-
suscitated boss?
Z The Republican propositions for the
government Of cities now under consider
alton may be all right. But the dele
gates ought to be left to vote on them in
accordance with their own convictions
and not under the compulsion of party
csdcus. The fact that caucus is pro-
posed proves that Republican opposition
exists.
Tho people have to vote on the Consti-
tuition as amended, and its rejection
seems now highly probable.

tAry Lamont and Private Secretary

President Roberts. of the Pennsylvania
Railroad.

the folly of supposing that the Chief

A CONTRAST.

Representative William L. Wilson, OF
West Virginia, who labored at the risk
of his life on the task of carrying out
the wishes of the people in the Tariff
bill. and whose work was so admirably
performed. met a perfect ovation yes
terday at Martinsburg on his return to
his constituency.
Because Mr.. Wilson In his patriotic
desire to make a law for the advantage
OF the whole nation bravely ignored the
selfish demands of a local interest 1t
was predicted that he would be received
coldly at his home. But the people
greeted him like conquering hero,
dragging him in a decorated carriage
through the streets, bearing him on
their shoulders and giving other extrav-
agant demonstrations of their enthusl-
astic approval OF his course. They re-
nominated him by reclamation for a
seventh election to Congress, and they
severely denounced the traitorous Sena-
tors who partially defeated his work.
What contrast this presents to the
condemnation showered on German in
his own State and to the popular indig-
nation everywhere manifested against
Brice. Smith and the other boiling Dem
ocratic Senators. Yet this L. only the
beginning of the end.
