And the Poet Fled.


James Russell Lowell was dreamiIy
stroIling along toward his home in Cam
bridge one unusually beautiful night.
Slowly. with serene. queenly majesty. q
full moon was ascending her azure
throne pouring her lavish light over all
things and sottcninS into semblances Of
beauty even the ugly outlines of cOuven-
tiOnal domestic architecture round about.
Duly Illuminated by the loneliness OF the
spectacle. the poet. as he passed by the
house of an estima BILE brother man who
supplied meat to him regularly for a
slight consideration of profit. noticed that

IDAHO FUSION STILL OPEN.

Boise, Ida. Aug. 29.-The oPpulists and
Democrats seems to be as far apart IN
the matter of the proposed fusion as they
were last night and it can be said that
the prospect of the arrangement being
made is distinctly less favorable than it
was tweuty-four hours ago.
Two members of the P0pulist executive
committee have been absent until TODAY
1t ills said now that negotiations have
been held back until their arrival but
none of the parties to the proposed COM
pact seem confident that it will be made
Those supposed to be opposed to the
programme are not discussing the mat
ter publicly. Senator HeiIfeld. who is
understood TO be favoring the fusion, de
clined this evening to express an opinion
or to state what the hitch was

gence are essential features required.
Every year thousands of dollars are
paid over the counters of the stores,
large and small, by the colored people
for the necessaries of life, yet you
never see a colored man behind the
counter or in the counting room.
Instead of their benefitting by the
profit of their own consumption, it
goes to someone else. Subsequently
those who have studied the problem
have come to recognize that business
and enterprise are essential to the
prosperity of a race. Let the colored
man realize that fact, get him to strive
for it and when he has attained it the
social elements will adjust themselves.
That is our ultimate aim. 1t will take
a long time, however, before it is re-
allied and it has got to be begun in a
small way"

A Fine Distinction.

Only the strict sense of duty prevented

London. September 2S.--.Lord Sails
bury's manifesto to the electors Of the
United Kingdom, in anticipation OF the
parliamentary general elections. empha-
sizes the necessity that the queens gov
eminent should be supported by strong
parliamentary majority as "the only
means OF convincing the inhabitants of
the conquered South African territories
that there is no hope OF dlverting the
government from their policy by per-
sistent resistance or agitation"
After remarking that all the recent
troubles in South Africa have been due
to shift OF parliamentary opinion at a
critical moment the prime minister
goes on to say: at will depend upon the
dlsDosition and conduct of the Beers how
lor.; an interval is to elapse before thei.

Roberts army must not blind us to the
imDerfectness in our own defensive ar

war might have remained unnoticed. II
will be the urgent duty Of parliament
ana the government to remove these de-
fects duty which certainly could not
be discharged by a ministry dependent
upon broken party"
In conclusion, Lord Salisbury refers &c
China as a difficulty among others con
fronting the government and requiring
that the government should be, armeC
with a strong majority in the house o.
commons"
He urges that in view of all these con

INSuRCfNT OPERATIONS ANNEXATION QUESTION.
Los Angeles Herald Advocates Annexation
Of Mexico.
MUCH COMMENT HAS BEEN AROUSED
Mexican Herald Denies that Ameri-

Mexico City. September 2s.--An article
in the Los Angeles Herald advocating the
annexation OF MeS-3 " me United States

conspiring to bring about annexation, has
aroused much comment.
The Mexican Herald denies that Ameri-
cans - this country are abusing the hos

OF Mexico. Such articles do immense harm
10 American interests by arousing the sus-
piti9n of Mexican people and inhaming
their minds against Americans.

SENATOR HANNA ON TRUSTS
HE SAYS HIS CHICAGO sPEECH WAS
UNSOLICITED.
Trusts within the Meaning
OF the Law.

Cleveland Ohio September Ex-senator
Hanna left for New York this evening.
lie Will remain at the republican head
quarters there for two or three weeks and
will then return to Chicago, In an inter-
view today he raid: The speech | made
at Chicago on the so-called trust issue
was misquoted and garbled What l said
was that there were no trusts in the
meaning OF the law. When | said that /
did not say that there are no combinations
OF capital nor did say that there are NJ
combinations that work injustice to the
people. This so-called trust issue Is moth
ing more than a bugaboo OF Bryan's to
catch votes. What antitrust laws have
been enacted have been enacted by the
republicans, On the so-caled trust Issue
Bryan Is on the defensive, He should tell
why the democratic party has never sup
ported or proposed any legislation to regu-
late the commercial combinations OF the
country. Bryan can not defend the demo-
cratic party on that Issue and It. with the
issue Of imperialism, will soon be rele-
gated to the rear. The money question
will soon be the paramount issue, Bryan
will have TO meet that Issue, too"
Senator Hanna said he had not decided
to so on the stump in the East but would
do so II he thought best. He declared tina;
he had issued no challenge TO MIR. Bryan
for joint debate. However he said, he
was not afraid to meet anybody ON the
Issues OF the campaign
