SOCIALISTS TALK SENSE.
They Will Use Ballots Instead of
Force


CHICAGO, Nov. II. - West Twelfth
Street Turner hall was crowded this
afternoon with socialists who had gath
cred to attend the cOmmemoration eXer-
ciSes Of the anniversary of the hanging
of the anarchists. The meeting was
held under the auspices of the Social
istic Labor party or Chicago. The stage
was decorated with flags and red bunt-
ing, aud life-siZe portrait of August
Spies. heavily draped with red bunting,
was supended from the stage. The
meeting was called to order by Bernard
Berlyn. He said:
I'VE are not here to commemorate
the tragedy which occurred seven years
ago today, but to express our views, and
also to express our sympathy for the
departed" He said that the meeting
was the first which had been held since
the hanging of the anarchists. which
was composed entirely OF socialists.
with not mingliRg of anarchists. Jes-
sic Cox was the next speaker. During
the course Of his remarks he said if was
not the purpose of the socialists of Chi
cago and the world to gain their point
ny uoluS 4OiCes Uut lt was In6lr object
to gain stroBg fOothod by having
complete organization, and then to win
out by ballots, and not dynamite. 4. J.
Morgan was loudly applauded when he
appeared to make his address.
Il AM not an anarchist" he COM
menced, "but am socialist. and still
we are here to pay tribute to those men
that the respectable citizens of Chicago
murdered. | have waited ever since
the hanging Of our friends to attend a
meeting of socialists freed from an
archists. aud al last it has materialized." :"
Mr.. Morgan dwelt at great length
upon the organization OF socialists. He
said that without organization the So
cialistic party could never gain its point.
Julius Valteych spoke in German. lie
said that the time would come when the
hanging of the anarchists would be
avenged. They were not hanged"
he said. because they dared to express
their opinions, but because they were
enemies TO capitalists"
Mr.. Valteych did not believe that
dynamite would win the cause at which
the socialists of the world were aiming,
but appealed to his hearers to put their
explicit confidence in the ballot box.

Sam Hill Chosen.

Mr. Hill is a cultured gentleman and
is fine business man. He is a man of
means as we'll as of brains. He has a
collegiate education, is a linguiSt and
was educated for the bar. His knowl-
edge OF public affairs is extensive, and
ne would be credit to the state.
There is nolack Of good candidates and
none OF them have a clnch. At present
the race is almost even between several
persons mentioned. Notwithstanding the
fact that Senator Washburn has been
an able senator and has made a good
reputation. AS time goes on there may
be more candidates mentioned, but it
will narrow down TO half a dozen before
the-day OF election comes. When il is
remembered that Senator Window was
turned down in the height of his fame
it is easily demonstrated that Ii is any
body's fight at present.
There is one chance to do something
out Of the ordinary and send a man to
the United States senate from this state
who would make hit by advocating
conservative measures and populariz-
ing the branch Of congress which has
become too dietatorial OF late. A man
from this state who would openly con-
tend for the election of senators by
vote of the people AMI dropping or
some of its shOddy aristocratic manner
would make @ national reputation.
George Thompson, of the Dispatch,
would be such man, or so would joe
Wheelock. of the Pioneer Press. They
both possess much of the Western style
OF equality among men. Mr.. Jhomp-
son has pushed his paper to the front as
an organ for the common people, and
he certainly has made friends enough
in the state to warrant the Republican
party comforting the senatorial toga
unnn him. SAA

BIG JAPANESE ORDERS.



TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 1I.-William
q. Norris, who went to Japan a year
ago to represent a syndicate of Chicago
merchants, has secured two of the larg-
est contracts ever awarded American
firms. One goes to Armour & Co., and
is for canned corn beef to be supplied
the Japanese army. The other is a
$4,000 contract for cast iron pipe to be
used in extending the Toxic water
works. The pipe will be made in Ala
bama and sent here for shipment, the
American firm having met the compe-
tition of English, French and Belgian
bidders. The Chicago syndicate which
Mr.. Norris represents was organized
just after the worlds fair as result of
the expressed desire of the Japanese
commissioner to stimulate trade with
America. The United States imports
goods worth S25.O00,O0O from Japan
annually, and exports to that country
goods amounting to S5,0O0,0O0. 1t is be-
lleved by those Interested that tr ade

Wilder has been in iii health. He was
an incessant worker in his business af-

cause for his failing health.

II was not until about two months
ago that Mr.. Wilder's condition be-
came serious. Then he was required
by his physicians 10 remain most Of his
time in quietude at his home. Drs.
Flagg and Senkler were his constant
attendants. Mrs. Speucer, his sister,
in-law, and her son, Charles l.. Spencer,
were constantly at the bedside Of the
afflicted man. But no medicine or at
tention could prove Of any avail, for it
was case of Bright's disease OF the
kidneys.
For the past week Mr.. Wilder was in
state OF coma, only occasionally seem
Ing to have the slightest CONSCIOUSNESS
of his surroundings. Saturday night be
was very restless. At 9 O'Clock yester-
day morning, as DR.. Flagg entered his
room, he said Good morning." This
was the frs: indication of consciousness
that had been seen for more than a
week. At 11:3O following he made a
remark that no one really understood, i,
but that indicated CONSCIOUSNESS. That
was his last utterance. He then sank
into sleep, from which he never awoke,
and at 4:45 he passed away, death be-
ing painless and peaceful.
Mr.. Wilder and family were for years
devoted attendants of st. PauFs Epis-
copal church. But after they moved to
their new home on Summit avenue.
they wandered about among different
churches. For while they attended
the Peoples church. Then. when DR..
Egbert became pastor of the House of
Hope. they attended this church much
of the time. Latterly they attended st.
Johns Episcopal church, on ST. An
thony hill. The funeral arrangements
are not yet perfected. The body is in
charge Of Dampier. 1t is probable,
however, as stated by members Of the
family, that the funeral VIII be held
from the SUMMIT avenue residence
