chitects would like to have the contracts
let only after a competitive contest
which would give every architect in
the country chance to do government
work and add to his reputation.
Mr.. Taylor's appointment, however
was made strictly in accordance with
civil service rules, for he was formerly
head craftsman in the office, having
held over from the former administra-
tion. This removes the chief objection
to the system, and it remains to be seen
whether the public building business
can be conducted without political in
reference.
AS to Mr.. Taylor's architectural abil-
ity, there can be no doubt, for he stood
very high in the competitive test. He
is native of Pennsylvania, and for
several years was in private practice in
st. Paul, leaving the latter city to en-
ter the supervising architects Office in
Washington three years ago. He is said
to have made many friends both among
his superiors and his subordinates in
the office, and successful career is pre-

GODDARD TRIAL RESUMED.

Sensational Charge of Jury Brtbing Has
Increased the Interest.
Kansas City, Nov. 29.-The second
trial of DR.. Jefferson Goddard for
numbering Laundryman Jackson has
been resumed. The court was crowd
ed and added interest was shown,
caused by the sensational charges of
jury bribing.
Ross w. Letshaw, an ex-justiee OF
the peace, was arrested charged with
lrying to bribe prospective juror to
hang the present jury.
Prosecutor Lowe has since alleged
that he possessed evidence against 9TH
ers known to be guilty of attempted
jury bribdng, and that he would push
the cases against them.
Now comes the statement from a
we'll authenticated source that Mrs.
jackson, who, up to this time. has
aided in the defense of her husbands
slayer, will in the present trial be
placed ON the stand by the prosecution.
A local paper, In reviewing the pres
emit jury, makes the statement that
one of the jurors broke up a family IL
years ago in manner similar to
which Goddard is alleged to have de-
spoiled the Jackson home.

ond place ON the Ticket.

Congressman Champ Clark, of
Missouri, in an interview a few
days ago, declared in favor of
Joseph g Sibley, of Pennsylvania,
for the Democratic vice-presiden-
tial nomination in 1900. That in
terview reached the ears of Mr..
Sibley, and he addressed letter
to chairman Cook, of the Demo
cratic State Committee, on the sub
ject. In the letter, which was
made public, Mr. Sibley says:
al believe the natural leader in
the next contest is Mr.. Bryan. l
believe he is far stronger man in
moral and intellectual endowments
than any one who will be liable to
compete for the nomination against
him. If elected, he will make
far better executive because of his
intimate touch with the people,
and his knowledge of their needs,
and he would give the people of
this country an administration of
which every true American might
be proud.

Later Developments Show an increase In
Cuba.s Mortality.
Havana, Nov. 29.@The first figures
of Cuba's starvation were timidly
moderate They showed the death of
only 100000. But every painful fact
unearthed tends to prove them nearly
double that number. From grim re-
turns all in, it is certain that this Gu
ban massacre of the innocents will
reach 100000. And this full number
does not include those killed in battle
or the thousands and thousands OF
women and children who have died
of exposure, disease and massacre in
the 'maniguas" and swamps.
1t now seems certain that more than
100000 people, for the most part loyal
subjects of Spain, have been killed by
the Spanish war in Cuba
The figures of Spanish oficiaI re-
ports show but part of the mortality.
They only give the number buried in
consecrated ground.
And yet these official ultra-Spanish
reports of burial permits issued admit
that in the province of Santa Clara
there have died and been buried since
Weyler's fiat Il BAT persons.

Democrats and Trusts.

The Republican statesmen who
are converging on Washington for
winter quarters express the opin-
ion that Congress will do nothing
in particular. It will not touch
Cuba, or the currency, or any 9TH
er subject labelled Dangerous"
There is one dangerous subject
dangerous for Hanna, Platt,
Quay and the other leaders of the
Republican party-which Congress
cannot ignore if the Democrats do
their duty. The suppression of the
trusts is a matter that cannot be
shelyed if determined and ener-
getic minority insists that it shall
be considered. The people have
seen Congress pass a tariff bill that
intercepted fifteen million dollars
on its way from the pockets of the
taxpayers to the public treasury
and diverted it to the vaults of the
Sugar Trust. They have seen a
score of other trusts allowed to
write their schedules into that
same bill. They look to that Con-
gress now to do something for the
regulation of the combinations it
has SO often favored.
The Democrats are pledged by
their national platform of last year
to bring the trusts under control.
The Republican National Conven-
ton, under the domination of Han
ma, ignored the subject, but the
Republican leaders in Congress
know well that the masses of their
party share the feelings of the
Democrats on this subject, and
that they would never forgive the
defeat of antitrust legislation.
These leaders are in distressing
position. While they are conscious
that they are bound by ties that
they could break if they would to
the combinations of capital to
which they owe their places, they
have to pay some heed to the i'm
POROUS public sentiment that
dominates the rank and file of both
parties and that demands that the
power of the trusts over the earn
ings of the people be destroyed.
Congress is forbidden by the
Constitution of the United States
to take private property for public
use without compensation, but
what Congress cannot do for the
public benefit the trusts do every
day for their own profit. The peo-
pie demand change, and policy as
well as duty requires the Demo
Gratis to take the lead in giving it.
