ATTACK ON SECRETARY LONG.

The uncalled for and outrageous at
tack made recently by Chicago news
paper upon the official acts of Secretary
of the Navy John D. Long will be re-
ceived with resentment by every loyal
son of Massachusetts. The inhabitants
of his native state have followed with
pride and interest the career of Secre-
tary Long during the course of the
Spanish-American war, and later in
the events attending the reconstruction
in our new possessions. His every act
had shown thoughtfulness and judg
ment and in no instance has there been
the slightest suspicion of any under
handed acts.
The prominence which he has at
tanned as a result of his work while in
office has brought his name forward in
connection with the presidency in
the coming presidential campaign. I'm
doubtedly, the abuse which has been
heaped upon his head was prompted
by that fact. That they are unjust will
be self evident to every one who knows
Secretary Long. The navy portfolio has
perhaps, never been administered with
greater ability than during the past
few years. Never before has the head
of that bureau been accused of mis-
management and never before has any
faint of scandal dimmed the lustre OF
his official record This attack is but
the spasmodic utterance of mad and
misguided politicians.
This office he has never seriously con-
sidered, and it is said is contemplating
resigning his present position. 1t is
to be hoped that he will remain at the
head of the naval bureau at least until
the close of the present administration.
The retirement Of Secretary Long
would be distinctive loss to the coun-
try and one which the country could
i'll afford to sustain,

clearly inconsistent with the best in
terests of the city, be published for the
information Of the taxpayers They
should all work at all times in the full
light Of publicity, and nowhere is there
greater necessity for that than in a
constantly growing city like Worcester
with it's extensive and diversified bust
ness interests.
Publicity prevents city officials from
injecting too much politics in their va
rious departments, and prevents, also,
any downright fraud, although the lat
ter are less to be feared than the in
PRODUCTION of cheap political methods.
Another argument in favor Of public
ity, and which would seem to need no
argument, is that the constant setting
forth Of the workings of the official de-
partments will serve to interest the tax
payers in municipal affairs. Indeed, it
will be an ideal municipal condition
when every voter can intelligently dis
cuss the workings of the various NUM-
cipal departments and decide for him
self whether they have been conducted
on an economical and business-like ba-
sis. Publicity will do more than any
thing else to bring about this condi-
ton

uAYoR DoDGE'S VICTORY.

Mayor Dodge's denomination at the
republican mayoraIty convention, on
Nov. q, is assured. 1t means an en-
dorsement of his administration during
the past two years; it means that the
people expect the same capable con-
duct of city departments in 1900; it
means that the opportunity is open to
Mayor Dodge for still higher honors
that will depend in great measure upon
his record during the next IL months.
1t means over and above all else, so
far as our municipal government Is
concerned, that the cry of mo third
term" has lost all value as an argu-
ment in coming campaigns.
For that reason alone, if there were
no other, the selection Of mayoralty
candidate hereafter will become mat
ter Of most serious consideration to
every man interested in the progress
and welfare of this great industrial
centre.
Rumors are heard here and there of
a citizens candidate, but it is probably
nothing more than rumors. The re-
publicans of Worcester are loyal and
will abide, as all loyal republicans
should. by the decision of the caucuses

INcENDIARIsM FEARED.
Officials Investigate the Origin of the
Fire at w. H. Wizards House.

Chief Edwin L. Vaughn of the fire de-
partment, Chief Of Police James M. Dren-
nan and Aid to State Fire Marshal Rob
ert E. Molt yesterday visited the home of
Warren H. willard, at 43 Edward street,
which caught fire yesterday morning, on
the solicitation of Mr.. Willard, who
thinks an attempt at burning his home
was made. The officials viewed the scene
of the fire. There was nothing there at
the time that would in any way tend to
show that fire could catch without be-
ing set. The blaze originally started in
the basement, near an empty barrel. A
kerosene can which was about half full
early in the evening, was found empty
when Mr.. Willard went into the cellar
yesterday morning after the fire. The
blaze. Chief Vaughn thinks, started near
an empty barrel which was found charred
on the outside. There was no rubbish of
any kind about the cellar, and how the
blaze should get to the barrel is a mys
terry. Outside a bulkhead a pile of kind
ling wood lay, and it seems strange that
If an attempt was made to burn the build
ing that 1t should not have been started in
the pile of wood. The family narrowly
escaped suffocation as the result of the
fire, and should the investigation which is
being carried on show conclusively that
the fire was of incendiary origin the au-
thorities will spare no expense to locate
the guilty party.

THE BROOM CORN CORNER.

The spy's exclusive story on the
Broom corn corner" in Mondays is
sue, is a very interesting one. 1t is
based upon the original dispatches from
Chicago, that w. B. Roseboom of that
city had succeeded in cornering the
broom supply of the country, and that
he has already forced the price of that
commodity up to $3.50 per ton from $50,
which was its price when the new crop
was placed on the market early in Octo-
Der. 1t is believed that he will be able
to send it uD to 5000 a ton.
Already, bowls are ging up about the
broom corn trust that has Increased
the price of the workingman's broom
200 per cent" The Albany Journal,
bearing upon this matter, says most
aptly, that "the man who cornered the
supply is not a trust, and that he could
not have made his corner if the men
shortsighted." During the last year,
from harvest to harvest of broom corn
this country used about $4,000 tons of
that article. There are left only about
1000 tons with the crop of this year
ready for the harvest in September, and
the new crop amounts to about only 49,
900 tons. From this it will be seen that
the shortage in the supply would have
sent the price up even If Mr.. Roseboom
had not tied all the broom corn in
sight. Andbecause the crop was sosmall,
it was a comparatively easy matter for
the capitalist to secure possession OF
the greater part of it.
IF the grower" says the journal,
'had provided for a larger crop, it
would have been difficult for any one
man to buy up the greater part of it,
and even If he had succeeded in MAX
ing his corner, he would have found
it harder to hold it because Of the
greater amount of capital tied up in it.
But the man who holds the greater
part of the total supply of only about
10000 tons of broom corn in the whole
country, can put the price up to nearly
any figure which his cupidity may die
tate with perfect equanimity.
Mr.. Roseboom's corner should touch
the growers of broom corn, and also
those who have abandoned the raising
of it. They should make provision for
a crop that is of sufficient size not to
be easily cornered.

MR.. MOODY'S HEALTH.

The whole country will read with a
sense of relief in the change for the
better in the condition of Evangelist
Moody. The news of his sudden at
tack few days since, came as a great
shock to thousands of his followers in
every state. His has been a most act
i've life of devotion to that grandest of
all undertakings, the upbuilding Of HUI
manity. He has given the best years
of his life and his best energies to his
fellow-men. He is truly entitled to a
respite from his labors, and while he
recuperates at his Northfield home, the
prayers of all Christendom will go up
for his speedy return to health. He has
gained an international reputation as a
winner of souls. During his tour some
years ago through England overflow
meetings were held in every town and
city, and thousands of converts to the
faith testified to the result of his per-
sonal labors. He has well earned a
respite from his labors which his ply
sicians recommend and nowhere could
such a rest be taken as well as at his
home at Mortified. The teachings
which have gone out from the school
which he established there have result
ed in renewed efforts in work which re-
bounds to his honor and credit. Speed
the day when Moody may again be
heard in our pulpits and upon our plat
forms.

DEATH OF VICE PRESIDENT HoBARr.g

Vice President Hobarts death will
be met with universal sorrow through
out the country. By his nobility of
character and masterful ability, he had
given his countrymen ample evidence
that he was well worthy Of the high
national honor they had given to him.
Indeed, he had developed fitness for
a still higher honor that might have
been his had he lived.
He secured the esteem of the leaders
in both the republican and democratic
parties by his fair yet firm and digni-
fed decisions as presiding officer of the
United States Senate.
Quiet and unassuming in his social
life, he was yet one of the most force
full characters IN national politics. Next
to Garfield, he was one of the ablest
contributors to popular knowledge of
finance this country has ever known.
The gold standard that is today open
ing the way to the greatest era of
prosperity in the history of the repub-
lie, is, in a measure, a monument

1t is related that a wild-eyed individ-
ual presented himself at the stage door
of the Providence, R. l., opera house,
after a recent matinee of Wilson Bar
rett's THE Sign of the Cross and said
to the guardian of the letters and keys:
Il want to see Nero
Don't know no such man." replied
the doorkeeper with a dignity BETTING
his position.
IT'S no use to try to deceive me- ex-
claimed the stranger excitedly. Hes
here and I've seen him. Give him my
card and tell him Pm waiting to kill
him. He shall not live to give another
Christian to the beasts
Then the doorkeeper remembered that
in the drama the part Of Nero is taken
by w. e. Bonney, a well-knOWn Eng
lish player When the card was sent to
his dressing-rocm and the object of the
call explained to him the actor said:
Tell the gentleman 1 sincerely regret
that it will be impossible for me to see
him, as we have another performance
this evening and I have no understudy."
Mr. Bonney, it is added, left the thea
tire by the front door that day and his
caller reluctantly went away, promising
to call again.
''Say, what was that you found in
your car the other night?" is the ques-
ton they are daily asking Barney Mo
ran, the popular conductor on the
Providence-street line of the Console
dated. But Barney will never tell.

''Step up here" said the lieutenant,
before tine conversation could get much
further along on this point:
A man went into a Main street sport
ing goods store the other day and
asked to look at dog collars. The speci-
men of canine that meekly followed
the customer into the store, did not
cause the clerk to believe that the man
would care to pay much for collar.
So he showed all his cheapest stock,
until the customer got tired and blurted
out: SAY, haven't you got something
better than these things?"
why, OF course; we nave some WIN
silver name plates that cost much
more
SHOW me those" was the reply; and
the most expensive collar in the store
was finally purchased. The clerk was
curious and probably showed his Curl
osity for the man turned upon him
and said: well, 1 suppose that you
think / am an idiot for buying such an
expensive collar for that NANCY cur
The fact of it is the brute is a pet OF

BURIED IN A PIT.
Nearly Two Tons of Dirt Descend
Upon Patrick Redmond.

Patrick Redmond, 40 years old employed
in the sewer department, was buried be-
meath a pile Of dirt at the corner of VIII
liam and Fruit streets yesterday morn
ing about 9 o'clock For time it was
feared that he was fatally injured, and it
was with considerable difficulty and not a
little care that he was dug out by his
fellow workmen. The police ambulance
was called, and Redmond was taken to
the city hospital, where it was found on
examination that three ribs were broken
and his collar-bone dislooated.
Bracestays were being put in at the sec
ton of sewer where Redmond was work
ing, and he was chosen to work at the
bottom of the pit where he was when the
accident occurred. About two tons of dirt
fell on him, and his escape is considered
miraculous. Redmond lives at II Burt
street He was resting comfortably last
night at the city hospital.

PRINCE RAMON"

Another Large Audience Greets the
Accomplished Amateurs in the Opera.
In spite Of the caucuses, the attendance
at the second performance of prince
Ramon" last night was much larger than
on the opening night. There were COM
paratively few vacant seats in the thea
tire, and the applause was strong enough
to shake the lights. If anything, the
music and dancing was better than Mon
day evening, and several large baskets of
flowers were sent up during the progress
of the acts. Several new marches and
dances were introduced, and there is still
a supply on hand for therest of the week
1t is hardly necessary to remind the peo-
pie of Worcester that the little opera will
be repeated every night this week, with
matinee Saturday afternoon.

regard to the methods and systems
