SECRETARY GAGE SAYS
Good Conditions Now Prevailing VIII
he Strengthened and Adj
vnnced.

Secretary Gage made this statement
after receiving the returns of the cleo.
ton:
The result will bring a sense OF graft
fcation and triumph to the rank and file
as well as to the leaders of the republic
an party. II this were all which the re-
suit involved one could look on II with a
sense OF comparative indifference. To my
mind. however, this is but the most
minor consideration. 1t Is the broad In
dustrial and commercial interests to
which the result must bring a feeling OF
profound thankfulness. 1t Is not neces-
sary to descant upon the propositions OF
the opposition. These propositions have
been rejected, and we have the assurance
that no serious interruption to the on
going OF business affairs is to occur. The
country-that portion of II. at least,
which carries the burdens and risks OF
enterprise and industry--will give sigh
of relief that we have been delivered
from dangers which could not be meas
ured.
Thus relieved new confidence and
courage will everywhere be felt, and the
good conditions In finance. trade and in
dustrial activity. now so observant on
every hand, ought to and undoubtedly
will be strengthened and advanced.
1T Is to be hoped that the victorious
party Will realize that Its triumph only
serves to increase its responsibility: not
TO its adherents merely. but to all the
people. The protests and criticisms OF
the minority, when made In good faith,
may justly demand honest and patient
consideration from the party invested
with legislative and administrative power.
Protests and criticisms have filed the
air with clamorous tongues. Intensified
by partisan heat though they have been,
the elements of truth they may carry are
educational, and may bring light to ma
tional councils.

PRESIDENTS RETURN
His Trip from Canton to Washing
ton a Continuous Ovation.
Great Enthusiasm All Along the Line
Business Suspended and the
People Throng to Greet Me-
KinIey.

President McKinley's trip from
Canton toward the national capital
was one continuous ovation. At every
stop there were great outpourings of
the people, business was suspended
and many factories along the line add
ed their thousands of workers-men
and women-to those who joined in
enthusiastic greetings.
The president appeared at each
stop, shaking hands from the rear
platform and making short speeches
at the most important towns. Mrs.
Mckinley received her share of the
popular tribute, men and women
struggling to present her with flowers.
The start from Canton was made
at f:35 p. M, amid the boom of can
non. the screech of steam whistles
and the clamorous well-wishes of the
presidents townspeople. Mr.. and Mrs.
Mckinley occupied the private car
Olympia at the rear of the train, Civ
ing a broad platform, from which the
president could greet the crowds and
address them.

The Labor Day committee announced
today that everything was in shape for
successful observance of Labor Day.
All now depends upon the sympathy
and good will of the weather man, to-
gether with the earnestness and fervor
OF the prayers of the committee.
Everything indicates that this Labor
Day will be the most successful ever
held in the city. If it is not, it will not
be the committees fault.
There has not been one thing left UNI
done.
During the week every union has
been making arrangements for the
turnout. Each one expects to carry off
the banner donated by Danziger Bros.
of Syracuse, N. Y.
AS a word of advice to the larger I'M
ions we would like to say that it is
our belief that a much better appear
ance will be made, by marching four
abreast instead of two, which has
been the habit Of the past. We know
that every union desires to stretch out
as much as possible but long process
sion is WearisOme, and especially so
when the marchers are too far apart.
The parade will start at $3.50 a. m.
sharp. The line of march and posi-
tons of unions is as follows:
The line of march will form on First
Street, west OF Fourth Avenue West,
will go east on First street to Third
Avenue East, down Third Avenue East

The Fall Of the Roman Republic.

The Fall Of the Roman Republic.
Fraud, the English HISTORIAN, thus
describes the conditions as they ex-
listed in Rome just previous to the fall
Of the republic and the institution of
the empire. Although 1t was some
years before the birth of Christ that
the Caesars supplanted the consuls, it
will be noted that even at that time the
Romans had become 'civilized.'
1t was an age Of material progress
and material civilizations; an age of
civil liberty and intellectual culture; an
age of pamphlets and ipigrams, of
salons and dinner parties, of senatorial
majorities and electoral corruption.
The highest offices of state were
open in theory to the 1neanest citizens;
they were confined, in fact, to those
who had the longest purses or the
most ready use Of the tongue on popu-
lar platforms. Distinction of birth had
been exchanged for distinction of
wealth.
The struggle between the plebeians
and patricians for equality of privi-
lege was over, new division had
been formed between the party Of pro-
perty and a party who desired a change
in the structure of society. The free
cultivators We're disappearing from the
soil.
Patriotism survived at. the lips but
patriotism meant the ascendancy of
the party which would maintain the
existing order of things, or would over
throw it for a more equal distribution
of the good things which alone were
valued.
Religion, once the founcation OF the
laws and rules of personal conduct, had
subsidized into opinion. The educated
in their hearts, disbelieved it, Temples
were still built with increasing splen-
dor; the established forms were scru-
pulously observed. Public men spoke
conventionally of Providence, that they
might throw on their opponents the
odium Of impiety: but of genuine be-
lief that life had any seriuos meaning

day evening, opening the campaign of
1900 in the state of Minnesota. That
Mr.. Towne has a warmer place in the
hearts Of the people of Duluth than
ever before was evidenced by the mag
nificent demonstration which was Civ
en- him upon his appearance upon the
platform, again as he was introduced
anG stepped forward to speak, and con-
tinuously throughout the speech. Mr..
TOWne is in prime condition for the
arduous campaign before him, in which
he is to play very conspicuous part.
The glow of good health is upon his
countenance, and he looks strong and
rugged, far more so than when he left
here to. attend the Kansas City con-
| vention. His voice was somewhat
husky at the opening, but cleared as
the evening wore on.
The auditorium was adorned with ma
tional colors, and the preliminary dec
orations for the flower show were in
place, which gave the hall handsome
appearance. D. G. Cash, who was
chairman of the meeting, spoke of the
kindness of the ladies having the flow
err show in charge in permitting the
meeting to have the benefit of these
| decorations, and reciprOcated by urg-
ing all to attend the flower show as
beautiful and worthy exhibition. The
rear of the stage was decorated with
pictures of Lincoln, Jefferson, Bryan,
Stevenson and Towne.
| It was 8 o'clock when Mr.. ToWne
MADE his appearance on the stage, and
that was the signal for a great ovation,
in which the ladies Joined quite as
enthusiastically as the men. 1t was
some time before the demonstration
quieted down. Some moments later
d. G.. Cash, chairman of the meeting
arose and introduced Mr.. Towne very
