Never let democrats again say that
they are opposed to government by
injunction. IT they do, who will be-
lieve it? No party can manage cam
paign and do more Inconsistent things
than Iowa democrats, and this act Of
theirs in securing an injunction By
which they hoped to keep the populist
ticket off the ballot, is the elimination
of inconsistency. 1t is inconsistency
gone to seed.

Prosperity, Wheat and Democracy.

That prosperity is returning and is
already here to very. visible extent, is
rather reluctantly admitted by our
demo-pop friends. But they attribute
the present increase in business to the
rise in the price of wheat, and claim
the latter is caused by the foreign de-
mand, hence they claim the recent re-
publican legislation and the present
administration have nothing what
ever to do with returning prosperity.
However, our friends of free silver
tendencies have not deigned to explain
how it is that the increased foreign
demand for wheat has caused the rise
in the price of corn. the rise in the
price of hogs and cattle, Of sheep and
wool, of almost all the farm products,
of iron and steel, of practically every
thing we produce or make in this coun-
try. They have not explained how
higher price for wheat in Liverpool is
opening our iron and steel mills in
America, and making an increased
demand for farm products. Doubtless
one reason they have not done this is
that their attention is recently too
much engrossed with the investigation
into state matters that republican
legislature made last winter.
The fact is the rise in the price OF
wheat is only one of the many reasons
for the tide of prosperity that has set
in towards our country. They do not
care to dwell OH the other causes.
When our democratic friends argue
that the rise in wheat is due to the for
eign demand they forsake their doe
trine of year ago, and get over onto
part of the republican or sound
money position. 1t is remembered
that only last year they loudly pro-
claimed that wheat was then low be-
cause this government would not coin
16 to / silver dollars without charge or
limit, and they even claimed that
wheat would never be good price
again until we had free and unlimited
silver coinage. 1t seems as though
fate has taken on itself the task of
refuting such nonsense, for when the
very next annual season has rolled
around the price of wheat has doubled,
and still there is 10 free coinage of
silver. Before this irony Of fate democ-
racy is retreating, talking of demand
enhancing the price of wheat, and try
ing to change the contest to state
issues.
Republicans always commended that
supply and demand principally fixes
prices of products. We think a healthy
home demand cuts big figure when
we consume SO per cent of what we
produce, but home and foreign demand
together have about doubled the price
of wheat within the past year, and the
Bryan contention that silver and wheat
go hand in hand is crushed to powder
beneath the ruthless weight of facts.

The democrats gave the populist

The democrats gave the populist
candidate 20 PAGES the start in the race
for treasurer at the convention, and
then intended to beat him in, but fell
down in the attempt. Ifthey intended
to beat him, which they did, they
should have made him run an even
race. You can't always tell how fell
low will run by his looks. One of the
best runners we ever saw was a little,
frockled faced, bow-legged cuss.

The party that is opposed to govern
ment by injunction" is now, through
Mr. Walsh, secretary Of the democratic
state central committee, invoking the
aid of injunctions to keep the middle
of the road populists off the official
ballot. We suppose they think their
extreme necessity justifies using what
they condemn as tyrannical and wrong
when used by others.

Most of these demo-pop speeches of

the old brand, but the people are

tention to those antique editions.

CAUSED BY A DOG.
Explanation of How Chicago Col
iSeum Was Burned.
Animal Was Covered With Burning
OIL From Exploding Lamp.

Chicago, Dec. %. The Coliseum. which
burned Christmas Eve, was set on fire by
a pet dog. An explosion of gasoline set
the dog on fire. Leolite. n dancer in the
Cuban village. says Frank Murphy, an
employe in the X-ray booth, confessed TO
her that he caused the explosion. She
says he told this to her mother when he
called on them about the benefit to be
given the exhibitors. Leolite says
Murphy told me how the fire started.
1t was caused by an explosion OF gasoline
in the X-ray booth. A big lamp WAS used
to light the booth, but IL was not consid-
cred sufficient. and the manager of the
show sent for n gasoline torch. Murphy
said q man named Bowen gave the torch
to the manager apd.about twenty minutes
past D o'clock. Murphy carried In five
gallon cannon of gasoline. The lamp WAS
burning close by and when Murphy went
to MI his gasoline torch he was quito
near the burning lamp. Morley, the man
ager of the exhibition, was on n ladder al
most over the lamp, arranging the drapery
about the booth. Murphy star ed TO
pour the gasoline INTO the tank of the
torch, which had been extinRuished, but
the fluid caught and went up In puff.
There was little pet dog in the
plhCe, COHueCLSu Wlln tAlluib anu
when the gasoline exploded the dog was
covered with the burning oil. The poor
beast rushed around in terror. Quicker
than q flash the whole trimming of the
booth was Oh fire and the blaze was rising
to the balcony. The men about the booth
near by ran out and got extinguishers,
but they would not work. A hose was
turned on, but they could get no water
~. Morales, n Mexican dancer, warned
me to get out and We were just getting
TO the doors when the gas tank that sup
piled the lights for the right-rope walkers
exploded and the place was mass OF
flames.
This story about the origin OF the fire
was corroborated by Frank Hatfield. the
doorkeeper.
Murphy when seen denied that the OK
plosion OF can of gasoline was the cause
OF the fire. He thought the drapery
caught fire from cigarette or cigar.
Tho origin Of the fire Will bo thor
oughly investigated by the police and by
agents of tho insurance companies, and
our company will do all In it's power 10
assist In the investigation, said Col.
John l.. Dickinson, president Of the Col
iseum company.
Il do not know yet whether the fire
was due to the actIof an incendiary or
not. hs continued, although L am in
clined to think,it was caused by some nc
cident In the X-ray or picture exhibit.
About all have heard that would inGi-
cate incendiaiism has been CLEANED from
the newspapers.

mon Pleas Court.

Special Officers Told of Buying
Beans and Coffee.
CASE FOR THE DEFENCE BEGUN.

The trial Of James IL. Sullivan for
keeping an unlicensed victuolling house
at IS Taunton avenue. East Providsnoe
took place before a jury in Judge Will
bur's court today. Two of the witnesses,
in behalf Of the state. were Special Officers
Warner and Frank Il. Ballou. The
former testified he bought beans and
coffee In Sullivan's place.
Ballou testified that he also bought
beans at Sullivan's place, which was in
the basement Of big two-tenement
block There were signs on the walls
describing the many choice viands that
might be procured. Ballou admitted on
cross-examination that ne had Leen in the
police business for IL years. having, un-
Til year and a half ago, been resident
OF Central Falls.
Other witnesses for the state testified
that they had purchased food in the
place and one testified that no had paid
sullivan for .ooa purchased there. Most
OF the witnesses had purchased their food,
they testified, Of woman who was in
charge and aboat all purchased baans and
coffee. One special officer named Ferris
got rather mixed up when he went to
purchase food by varying tho bean
was sure he paid Mr.. sullivan for the
beans, but he was not sure Hnetner he
paid the woman that gave him the pie OF
sullivan. This led to IA memorandum
being made. according to which the
beans and coffee were represented as be
ing purchased of the proprietor, hut 1t
was left unrecorded as to whom payment
was made.
The case was notable for the flint and
steel argument aud objections of the
counsel on both sides. The Indictment
alleges the offense was committed on Au-
gust % and when Attorney General Ian
ner wanted To introduce testimony as To
ether dates Gen. Brennan objected and
also urged that the offense OF Keeping an
unlicensed victualling house could n OF
be sustained by testimony II its being
opsn one day and argued that the case
might as we'll be dropped at once Judge
Wilbur did not agree with Gen. Brennan.
In his opening for the defendant, Gen.
Brennan referred TO the jumping of the
price to be paid for licenses for eating
houses from s. to $50 by the town coun-
Gil Of East Providence and was starting
To tell what Dillon or municipal corpor.
ations had TO say when Attorney General
Tanner objected TO counsel making two
arguments in the case. General Brennan
further stated that sullivan did not keep
the restaurant, but his wife sold a few
oysters there, he having withdrawn his
own application when the advance In
price was made.
Councilman Anthony of East Provi.
dence testified that ne had talk with
Sullivan. whom he had known for d
dozen or more years. just previous to the
raising of the price of licenses and "a day
or two after the talk he noticed sign
thnt had been on the outside Of the res
taurant was taken down. Sullivan is q
machinist ut the Household Machine com
pany. 1he penalty for the otfense is the
payment of a fine OF $50.

shortly after tho row, he and friend
went into the house of the woman he is
accused Of asssulting, and the friend
ASKED for drinks, which were given and
paid for. Next Luby paid for round of
drinks, and bis friend once again. Luby S
friend suggested Luby ask the woman to
set them up, but as he had a running nc
count that was overdue Luby demurred.
The friend asked for n treat, then the
row began. Luby claims the woman
and her brother, Taylor, took stove lifters
and other heavy things and forced them
out Of the tenement. In the yard Luby
claims Taylor picked up n shovel and
came near striking him on the head. and
the axe was only used TO ward off the
shovel in Taylor's hand, while he Luby,
did not use the axe on the woman. In
the mixup he admitted the axe may have
struck Taylor, but 1t could not have
touched Mrs. Collins.
