AOuarter Million Dollar Fire

New York, Sept. % -Hencken &
Wilenbrock big lumber and Goa
ward occurring the entire block between
CSC and 9th streets, FIRST avenue and
the East river, was the scene of con-
fragration early this morning. The
prem ses were practically swept clean
entailing loss of about $780, 900. a
sensational feature of the fire was the
possibility that it might cause the ex-
plosion OF vast amount OF dynamite
stored by the government on the other
side of the river Sparks from the
burning embers fell in shower upon
the buildings where the dynamite was
stored. Some OF the sheds began to
burn. An explosion was momentsrily
expected. Two men, who were in
charge of the storehouse, at the risk oi
their lives, managed TO drag out the
boxes containing the explosive and
throw them into the river. FiremeD
fought the flames for several hours and
succeeded in saving the Metropolitan
street railway company's power HOUSE,
and much other valuable property in
the vicinity, which was in peril. The
tenants of a low row of houses across
the street from the yard became panic
stricken and half-clad, rushed to the
street. No one was injured.

A FEW Massachusetts democrats,
who presume to say they are better
than their party, denounce those who
oppose the ungodly Philippine war, SIS
vehemently as any of their republican
allies DO. And yet, during the war OF
1912, tue Massachusetts delegates to the
Hartford convention no, only denounc-
ed the prosecution of that war, but &C
tually expressed the hope that the
British, after their victories il Spain,
would add to their glory by gaining
others in this country. But there are
Massachusetts people who apotheosize
that murderous old incendiary, John
Brown.

To DISCERNING people it is perfectly
plain, that with few exceptions, the rich
men of the country, seeking their own
individual and temporary profit, IRE
spective of their political opinions will
do in 1900 what thay did in 1896, and
vote the monometallist gold ticket, ano
thereby necessarily do all they can to
maintain the high tariff aud the trusts
and to sustain Mr.. Mckinley in his
cruel and expensive war upon an alien
nation ten thousand miles away. They
will thus, promote, to the extent OF
their ability, the natural antagonism
between the poor end themselves,
which must result in harm TO both. II
the democrats shall win. it will be a
poor mans victory, and ii they shall
lose, 1t will sustain Goldsmith's idea
that nation is in a bad way when It's
plain people can be debauched with
the money of the rich.

The NEBRASKA republican State
convention yesterday complimented
the President for the conservative
course he has pursued in the matter Of
the Philippine war. a conservative
man, according to the English language
is one who desires TO maintain existing
conditions and customs. II Mr.. dc
Kinley has been that sort OF man ii
respect of the war referred to, then the
existing conditions aud customs Of tbi;
country, at the time he brought on that
war, certainly were not what most peo'
pie supposed them to be. The Ne
brsska republicans were o5fuscated
when they wrote their platform; they
evidently intended to use the word
radical.

OF that island, as class, will draw free
rations from o. 5. store houses, but
will not work. Well, there's nothing
strange about that. Few people work
unless they are compelled to do so, and
if the negroes OF Porto Rico can live
without working, and simply by going
to the governments warehouses for free
supplies, why should they toll and la

MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS

MASSACHUSETTS, DEMOCRATS
The Massachusetts democratic Slale
convention at Boston yesterday result
ed in 8 complete victory for the Will
liams faction, as against Congressman
Fitzgerald and mis- followers. The
trial of strength came in scene of wild
turmoil and confusion over the ques
ton OF the method md time Of electing
delegates to the national convention.
But the storm subsidized after q time,
and the Fitzgerald forces, their leader,
under police restraint, gave up tRe
battle and the rest of the business went
through with comparative smOothaess.
Robert Treat Paine, ir., Of Boston, was
nominated for Governor, and John II
Mack, of North Adams, for Lieutenant
Governor. The convention also elect.
ed Bryan and free silver delegates 20
the presidential nominating convention
of 1900. Massachusetts is the first
State to choose such delegates.
The platform adopted declares that
the Chicago platform OF 1885, like the
Declaration of Independence, stands IS
a part of tn fundamental code Of dem
ocratic government" The fnanci2l
plank of that instrument is PARTICULAR
reiterated, and "the financial ills OF tas
five years prior to 1897" are ascribed to
"a contracted currency for which re-
publican financial legislation had pro-
vded no form of relief"
The war in the Philippines is cherac'
terized as criminal aggression, wanlop,
needless and wasteful, and incompe-
lently and corruptly prosecuted. 1t is
demanded that ITO the Fiipines as to
the Cubans shall be said today that
they are and OF right ought to be free
and independent"
The platform declares that "in the
reiterated demands for more and more
troops to subdue the Tagalos may be
detected the purpose TO have ultimate
ly more soldiers to employ at home, "
making it possible Tor monopolistic cor
porations ito secure the aid of armed
forces, both State and federal, 10 over
awe their Workingmen in time OF labor
dssensions."

As ANTICIPATED, the G.. A. r. will
nave their own way 10 the Dewcy pa.

every thing else. Governor Roosevelt
has instructed the marshal of tina,
parade to give them the head of tte
procession, the place of honor, as they
would have no other. The q. A. r.
flies high now, and the fact that its
chief says the pension appropriation
cannot be too large, is appalling to the
poor people who neither draw pensions
nor are pension agents.

The OPPOSITION of some ccnserva
tive people to the continuance of the
terrible expense to which the country
is being subjected by Mr.. Mckinley, il
his war upon the Filipiuos in order
to secure his re election, has revived il
his supporters the fires of sectional hate
and they are now accusing all who
don't agree with their fire and blood
ideas, of being 'secessionists, F." "rebeis, .
traitors, and "copperheads." Well
this is a free country, and mems
mouths, even though they be foul
are their own.
