He had been one of the wardens in the

murdered. His body was shipped from
that place to Salt Lake, and then to Chi

His is not the only mysterious death
occurring at the asylum. Four others

Not only to electricians in all parts
OF the world but to Americans of all
trades and callings the opening of the
new Industrial Arts Building In New
York City is an event of memorable in
terest. To Nikola Tesla 1t is triumph.
His wonderful genius is demonstrated
in the turning on Of current of cleo
tricity transmitted to the building
from Niagara Falls on an ordinary
telegraph wire by the two phase sys-
TEN" invented by him and bearing his
name. The line of conduit is more than
four times the length of the greatest
distance over which similar transmits
sion has been previously effected. To
heighten the importance OF the demon
stration the power thus harnessed
drives in the new building model of
the Niagara power plant, while a sys-
tenn OF telephones ranged around this
enables the listener to hear distinctly
the roar OF the cataract from the famous
Cave Of the Winds. The event marks
the highest point yet reached in the
wonderful development Of the electric
era. Tesla's victories are as renowned
as Edison's. Both inventors have
shown that reality Is more amazing
than romance and that the key OF cleo
tricity will unlock the secret store
mouse of natures mysteries. The
strength OF Niagara goes to New York
over telegraph wire. The deep melody
OF her thousand voices. mingled with
the tones of the wind god, goes there
by telephone. It only remains for Tesla
to find Boreas and Notus with his cleo
trio chains and to lead them out OF the
cave for the service of the nations.

Independence of Cuba.

From the hour OF achieving their own
independence the people OF the United
States have regarded with sympathy
the struggles OF other American peoples
to free themselves from European DOM
ination. We watch with deep and abld-
ing interest the heroic battle OF the Gu
ban patriots against cruelty and op-
preston, and our best hopes go out for
the full success Of their determined con-
test for liberty.
The government OF Spain, having lost
control Of Cuba and being unable TO
protect the property or lives Of resi-
dent American citizens or to comply
with Its treaty obllgationes. we believe
that the government Of the United
States should actively use it's influence
and good offices to restore peace and
give independence to the island.

Rights of Women.

The Republican party is mindful OF
the rights and interests OF women. Pro-
lection OF American industries includes
equal opportunities. equal pay for equal
work and protection To the home We
favor the admission OF women TO wider
spheres Of .uscfulncss. and welcome
their cooperation in rcsculng the coun.
try from Democratic and Populist mis-
management and mlsruie. Such are the
principles and policies Of the RepublI-
can party. by these principles we Will
abide and these principles we will put
into execution We ask for them the
eonsiderate judgment OF the American
people.
Confident alike In the history OF our
great party and IN the justice Of our
cause we present our platform and our
considerations, In the full assurance
that the election viii bring victory to
the Republican party and prosperity to
the people OF the United States.

il the forces of the committee are ju-

ment ought to work well. Mr.. Hanna
has pressed into the service, as his
executive committee, some Of the most
experienced campaign workers Of the
party, and they ought not to lose any
more time than necessary in getting
ready for their campaign.

Reciprocity With Other Nations.

We believe the repeal Of the reel
procity ARRANGEMENTS negotiated by the
last Republican administration was
national calamity, and we demand
their renewal and extension on such
terms as win equalze our trade with
other nations, remove the restrictions
which now obstruct the sale OF Amer
lean products in the ports OF other
countries and secure the enlarged mar
kets Of our farms forests and factories.
Protection and reciprocity are twin
measures Of Republican policy and go
hand In hand. Democratic rule has
recklessly struck down both, and both
must be re-estabIshed Protection for
what we produce, free admission for
the necessaries OF life which we don't
produce, reciprocal agreements OF mu-
tual interest which gain open markets
for us in return for our open market to
others. Protection builds up domestic
industry and trade and secures our
own market for ourselves. Reciprocity
builds up foreign trade and finds an
outlet for our surplus.
