The early arrival in Washington of Rev.
James Buchanan is looked for. Mr.. Blu
chanan is a Baptist minister of South
ington. He left his native home sixteen
years ago. For time he labored as
a sailor and finally landed at Cape Town.
Two years ago he was ordained at Cape
Town by Rev. r. A. Jackson and was sent
as a missionary to Middle Drift, about
LOCO miles from the coast.
Mr.. Buchanan now has a congregation of
about 300 members and is building brick
chapel. He will return to South Africa in
a month two.

ROBERTS AND POLYGAMY.

The fight against Congressman Rob-
erts of Utah is resulting in some very
peculiar developments. Along comes a
dispatch stating that he has been driv-
en- from Utah, as result of the cru
SADIE against him. 1t is claimed that he
left the state to escape arrest on the
charges of felony and misdemeanor.
The former was based on his violation
of the law against polygamy, and the
latter on account Of his living with his
plural wives. His whereabouts is not
known, but strong movement is on
foot to have him found, extradited and
brought back. His fight is a strange
contradiction to the statements made
by Mormon elder in Worcester, some
months ago, that there were no such
conditions prevailing in Utah as plural
wifehood 1t is to be doubted if this
polygamous congressman ever finds
himself seated on the floor of the ma
tional house of representatives.

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 10, 1899.
HASN'T CHANGED ITS SPOTS.

The New York Evening Post calls
down Senator Jones of Arkansas, who
returned from Europe Sunday, and inn
mediately declared that during his
travels on the other side of the ocean
the last four months 'he had not been
able to see that there is any great ma
terial prosperity among the agricultural
and similar classes in the United
States.
The democratic leopard hasn't
changed his spots. Europe is still his
point of observation. For years he has
tried to legislate European manufacture
ers into the American market and AM
erican manufacturers into bankrupt
cy. Now, with a tariff that protects
Americans, he goes over to Europe to
look for prosperity among the "agri-
cultural and similar classes" in the
United States.
The Post declares there is all kinds
of prosperity in this country, but it
makes no attempt to show the cause of
it, because it is contrary to the econom-
ic principles which it cherishes. 1t
does claim that it would be ridiculous
to state that it is due to the Dingley
tariff. Let it be ridiculous then.
Perhaps it is due to the tariff for de-
felt only prepared by Prof Wilson and
passed by the democratic congress dur
ing Cleveland's administration. The
Post had for years proclaimed that
what the country needed for real pros
perity was democratic tariff, fash
toned on the lines of Prof Wilson'S
monstrosity. Yet when the country had
it, it proceeded to go into bankruptcy
and the government was forced to is
sue Growers" to pay it's current ex-
penses.
On the other hand, the Post has long
maintained that tariff like the Ding
ley act enriched few at the expense of
the many and made prosperity impos-
sible. Yet under this tariff the govern
ment is not only paying the expenses
of war in a far-off land, but offers to
advance years interest upon the en-
tire bonded Indebtedness of the coun-
try, including the Growers" issued I'M
der Cleveland
The Post can explain the prosperity
of today in any way that suits it. The
fact is, it is here, under tariff act
which the Post says cannot conjure
prosperity, and it was absent under
Prof. Wilson'S tariff.
Prosperity has taken to the woods
every time the democrats have been in
power, and it has come out and re-
sumed business at the old stand as soon
as the republicans have enacted tar
| if.
These things do not agree with the
New York Evening Posts theories, but
they are facts.

OPPOSITION BREWING.

The American Steel & Wire company
has been particularly fortunate since
its incorporation, in that it has never
yet met with any particularly strong
competition in the manufacture OF wire
and wire nails. One after another,
every effort to create rival has either
been destroyed or absorbed, but in the
main the majority of attempts have
been of so small a character as TO make
that a very easy matter. But now
come letters of incorporation for big
combine near Pittsburg, to be known
as the United States Wire & Nail COM
pany, with solid capital reaching far
up into the millions This is the first
sign of any real opposition to the COR
poration that has been so great a factor
in the growth and prosperity of Wor-
ceSter.

PLATT AND EXPANSION.

Senator Plat of Connecticut, in his
address before the Union League Club
at Brooklyn, Wednesday evening, on
expansion, gave a new twist to the
discussion. He said:
81 really have not discovered the
anti-imperialist who urges constitu-
tional objections respecting the ac-
QUESTION of Porto Rico, or feels that
the declaration of independence was
violated when Spain coded it to us and
we accepted it as the result Of the war
Our right is the same to each, our title
as perfect to the Philippines as to Porto
Rico.
1.-THE fact that our people as a whole
are satisfied with the acquisition of
Porto Rico shows that no one really
believes there is anything in the dec
laration of independence or the consti-
tuition which made our acquisition of
the Philippines improper or forbids our
retention of them"
or President Mckinley the senator
said "He is as much bound by his
oath to compel submission to our flag
in the Philippines as in New York.

HETTIE GREEN.

Well Well Here's Hettie Green,
the richest woman in America, calling
herself Dewey. The Boston Herald
quotes her as saying that Dewey s
grandmother was Storey and lots of
her folks were Storeys, and the Storeys
married the Deweys, and there you are.

TUTTLE,S REELECTION.

The reelection Of President futile of
the Boston and Maine will give a feel
ing of assurance and security to local
holders OF the stock that they have not
had for some time, especially when
coupled with the statement that there
has never been the slightest ground for
any of the stories concerning PROPOSED
deals by which the Boston and Maine
road was to be controlled by almost
every other railroad in the country.
The greatest clincher of all was when
he said that the board of directors were
perfectly willing to buy the common
shares of the company stock at market
rates, and to put them away in their
strong boxes, because they believed In
their permanency.

CONTEST POSSIBLE.

1t is difficult to predict the probable
action of the stockholders of the New
Haven road at their annual meeting
next Wednesday. A sharp contest is
expected in the efforts to secure a
larger New York Central representa-
ton in the board of directors, and
proxies are quietly but actively being
hunted up for that purpose. There is,
too, a semi-official report that there
will be no change in the directorate.
The election Of a president is not likely
to receive consideration until the Mo-
vember meeting.
It is said from very reliable sources
that the committee to whom this mat
ter was referred may report a sug-
gestion that President Clark may be
elected to a high executive position,
and that Vice President Hall may be
made the executive head of the cor
poration. But these conflicting stories
and significant limitations leave one
very much in the dark as to what will

AN OUTRAGE.

The massacre of five negro men, and
the wounding of two others, at Pal
metto, Ga, on Wednesday night Of last
week, by masked mob of 100 law
breakers, was an outrage on law and
order and blot on the fair name of
Georgia. II these negroes were guilty
of incendiarism, they were under guard
in the hands Of white men, and there
could have been no escape of condign
punishment if the process of the law,
for the righting of wrongs, had been al
lowed to take it's course. AS it is,
probably some Of those negroes MUIR
dered may have been innocent, and as
they were to have had their trial the
next morning, when the facts could
have been ascertained, we cannot bat
characterize the affair as a defiant,
brutal outrage. The white people of
Georgia cannot tolerate such barba-
rous methods, or anarchy will ensue.
We have legally constituted courts to
redress wrongs and punish criminals
and they must be upheld. Governor
Gambler has acted wisely in offering a
reward for the murderers.
