HEROIC SEARCH FOR
4 House ROBBER
The Policemen in the Eighth
Precinct Working Hard.
Nav in Time Locate the Famous
Dorsey FOultz.
The Murderer of Wesley Hall May
Also BE Captured by Lieuten-
ant Kenny.

"Since the robbery committed at the
home of David T. Day. 1425 Euclid Place,
Mount Pleasant, Thursday night. the police
of the Eighth precinct have been actively
engaged in an effort to find some solution
of the apparent mystery surrounding the
crime said a resident of Mount Pleasant
last night.
Continuing upon the subject OF
the efficiency OF the police in that pre-
cinct, he said: They are making a
strenuous effort to apprehend the robber
and will undoubtedly be as successful in
their attempt as they have been in faith
Lieutenant Kenny is of the opinion, and
has so expressed himself, that the recent
robbery was committed by what is known
as a d-story worker. He Is also in
cllned to the opinion that the robbery was
not committed by novice.
Lieutenant Kenny is an efficient official,
and his opinion is one OF no small mo-
ment or mean proportions. He has pre-
mier squad of policemen in his command.
In fact, the prize winning precinct is un-
der the control of Lieutenant Kenny.
Geuce u can De readily seen ludt lut pun
lie has been fortunately blessed in that
the robber who SO ruthlessly despoiled the
home of Mr.. Day should have selected the
Eighth precinct for the base of his opera
tions. With such a competent lieutenant
and squad OF men on his trail this second
story man must at least feel very apprpe-
hensiye.
And yet" continued the Mount Pleas
ant resident, Notwithstanding the fact
that Lieutenant Kenny thinks the robbery
was committed by second-story worker
II may possibly develop that after all, he
for the once has gone astray and has over
looked the fact that an inside Job can bt
as successfully pulled OF as any other.
Relative to the efficiency Of Lieutenant
Kenny and his men II can be said thai

was of a mild character. The sufferer was

no better.
Thanksgiving morning came. and
showed no change. either in the wealth
or or the invalid's condition, and
Charles heart was very heavy as he
began his third days work. shortly

ELECTION RESULTS.
A Terribly Emphatic Rcbuke tn the
Administration for Cri minai
Aggression.

That the recent election carried with
II a severe condemnation OF imperial
ism is evident 10 all intelligent people.
and claims to the contrary on the part
of administra zion organs are simply
buncombe and nothing more.
That this fact is apparent to those
who allow themselves TO reason Is made
evident by the editorial comment in the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican, news
paper true to the grand old party, but
opposed to imperialism.
Discussing the results Of the recent
election. the Republican says:
"The election carries TO the admins
tration a terribly emphatic rebuke for
its war Of criminal aggression. Mary
land has swung back TO its democratic
mornings. Nebraska shows large gains
for democrats. As TO Ohio. the issue on
Imperialism was clearly drawn"
The Republican continues: "The
great .urch which sends the presidents
party in Ohio from large and apparent
IN unassailable majoriiies in years past
into striking minority has been
brought about by the presidential pol
lev of criminal aggression.
Nash was elected governor ofOhio by
the republicans. il is true, but with q
plurality Of 10000 there was popular
majority Of 10000 against the policy Of
Imperialism.
Jones received 10000 votes. every
one of which was a protest against Nc
kinley.
There can be no doubt that the Jones
vote was against imperialism. and this
Is the view taken of 1t by Candidate
Jones.
In concluding its comments the Re
publican says:
"The verdict Of the election raises a
once the question Of the eNpediency o
Mr.. McKinley's denomination. II point
TO the impossibiity Of electing him i
1900 on the platform he has made TO
himself. and by which he must now ap
parently stand or fall"

per, this Is rather cold comfort for En-
pcror William Mckinley. - Chicag

NOT YET TESTED.
The People Have Not Yet PASSED. Up
on the Administration'sP Policy
of Expansion.

That the administration should not
have been able to make better show
ing than that of the elections in IL
states is fact full OF significance as
bearing upon the presidential contest
of 1900.
1t is claimed by the administration
party and by administration organs
that a majority Of the people of this
country are in favor OF the presidents
policy of American expansion into the
eastern hemisphere. Where do they
find an expression OF this sentiment in
the recent elections?
In Massachusetts, where the fight was
made almost exclusively on the expan-
sion issue. the democratic party made
surprising gains. Ohio was held for the
president only 10y the exertion of all the
administration influence. In no state
of the IL did the vote show that the
presidents Philippine policy strength
ened the republican party.
The issue Of imperialism, of expan-
sion by the conquest Of foreign terri
tory. will come clearly before the peo-
pie Of all the states in 1900. There Is
reason 10 believe that the popular vote
will pronounce unqualified public con-
demnation Of this un-American policy.
/ The democratic party has cause for
greater confidence than ever that the
\ people Of this country are not vet ready
/ to repudiate American principles for
the gain of foreign territory or the gov
eminent by force of weaker peoples -
