DEADLY VENOM

The fact should be impressed upon an
archists that the torch of the Liberty
statue on Bedloes island in New York
harbor is not. the torch of anarchy lifted
in invitation to anarchists driven from
other countries for their crimes There
is no room for anarchists in the United
States. They won't work, and they hate
those who do work and get along in the
world. This reput lie is too wise and
happy and prosper GUS to allow it's blood
to become tainted with the deadly venom
of anarchy.

as an expounder of popular rights and as
defender Of the best interests of the peo-
pie he represents in the Senate of the
United States, he was not called on to
forego all of these claims for the sake of
his friend
But whatever his motive might have
been in pursuing the course which he did
we are sure that he made serious mis-
take, and the fact that he made such a
poor showing in the matter IF argument
with Congressman Jones must either be
taken as evidence that his heart was not
in the cause which he defended, or that
he was not possessed of the really wit and
weight of argument shown by his chief
opponent in the debate.
On the whole. while we fully appreciate
the kindly spirit of the Richmond Times
in attemr ting to apologize for Senator
Daniels opposition to the Senatorial prl-
mary plan, we are compelled to say that
such an apology does that gentleman
more harm than good. To sum it up in

ResrIt Of the BaeetIon.
New York, Nov. g. The day
opened dark with lowering clouds
and falling rain, recalling the tradi-
tion Of the Empire state. ."fair wealth
er for republicans; rain for demo-
Gratis" For bitterness, the complex
situation and uncertainty of the
campaign has ,never been equaled in
national or municipal elections. A
full vote Of probably 529, 600 will be
divided between the seven mayoralty
candidates. though only the three
leaders, Van Wyek, Low and George
are expected to cut much figure.
The ante-election "claims" Of the
chairmen OF the four leading cam
paign committees follow: The dem
ocrstic estimate gives Van Wyck q
majority over all the other candidates
com bined Of 10000, and plurality
over Low. the next highest. OF $50. 900.
The republican estimate gives Tracy
a plurality Of $4,000. The citizens
union estimate gives Low q plurality
of $4,000. The Jeifersoniau esti-
mate gives George a plurality Of
$1,000.
The rain, which fell most OF the
forenoon had little effect on the vot-
ing. The polls opened at and
within two hours third OF the en-
tire vote WAS in. Then it came in
less rapidly. tut by noon only u
small fraction OF the vote was lefs
uncast.

into iEsensibility by non-union iron

vowed vengeance. Manager Skimp
fearing trouble. when his men quit work
formed thirty CT forty of them in line
and marched up Pittsburg street. At
Broadway e large crovd had gathered
and four. Of the marchers with drawn
reVolvers stepped TO the froat and or
dered the crowd back Just then some
one threw a stone into the crowd Of
non-unionists.
This was responded to by a shot, fol-
lowed by a regular fusiilade. fully fifty
shots being fired, nearly all coming from
the non-uniOn men. Manager Skimp
was shot in the left foot and was struck
by stone or brick on the left side OF
the head, and is seriously, though not
dangerously, wounded. Henry Gillespie
was shot through the right arm the
ball passing through an artery. ard he
almost bled to death before the wound
could be dressed. John Jordan had three
fingers shot off. Several others were
slightly injured by being struck with
stones.
From the number of shots fired il is
almost miraculous that no one was
killed outright. Gillespie claims that
when the shooting commenced he started
fer a place of safety. He claims that
he was fired at by Manager Skimp.
Thomas Gillespie. brother of Henry.
stated that he saw Manager Skimp fire
three shots in the direction of Henry.
Gillespie will swear out a warrant for
the arrest of Manager Skimp for felon-
ious shooting. Four non-uhion men

Manchester. Nov. 2.-Lord Rosebery
addressed q large meeting here last
evening in connection with the centen-
ary celebration of the Chamber Of Com
merce. He reviewed the history of free
trade, elaborately praising what he de-
scribed as its advantages to England" :"
Lord Rosebery conterded that the con-
dition Of agriculture abroad, despite
bounties and protection, was little better
and in some cases was worse-than in
England. He quoted Str -Wilfrid Lau-
rier, the Dominion premier, as "a most
1liustriouS authority sustaining the
view that it is free trade which has pre-
pire."
He fully agreed with Sir Wflfrid Lau-
rfer, he declared, that any deviation
from absolute political and commercial
freedom would only weaken the bonds
holding the empire together, and that
anything in the direction Of an i'm
perial zollverein would weaken the en-
pire internally ard excite the permanent
hostility Of the whole world, already
excited by British prosperity under free
trade. He said he would tread softly
in the presence Of the idea of a zoll-
verefn," for he believed it already dead.
1t behooved them to walk strongly and
warily in the path of empire. but sucr,
n zollverein would form a permanent
| menace Of war.
