A MILITIAMAN MURDERED
Shot From Ambush While Guarding
Against Italian Strikers.


Against Italian Strikers.
Croton Landing, N. Y, April H.
The first bloodshed as the outcome of
the strike at the Cornell dam was the
life's blood of Sergeant Robert Doug
lass, or the Eleventh separate company.
OF Mount Vernon, who was shot dead
by an unknown assassin while he was
relieving guard last night.
The point where the sergeant fell is
known as Post 10, which was in charge
or Corporal Mcdowell. 1t is situated
on the top OF the hill near Little Italy,
where armed strikers were seen drill
Ing or marching about early In the
morning, brandishing rifles and shot
guns.
Douglass was talking to Corporal Nc
Dowell and the other members of the
guard, when he suddenly clapped his
hands to his stomach and said,' Lord
boys, am shot," and fell to the ground.
1t was pitch dark at the time, but Nc
Dowell and the others fired a volley
into clump OF bushes near by with
out hitting any one. No one saw the
flash or heard the sound of the shot
which killed Douglass, and It was a
most mysterious affair.
Meanwhile the men picked I'D the
fallen sergeant aad carried him down
the hill on stretcher, but as soon as
they reached Douglass tent the poor
Fellow died without saying a word.
Lieutenant Glover, with a squad of
men, went up to The top OF the hill.
where they made a thorough search.
but failed to find any person up there.
The contractors declare they will re-
sumo work at once. with or without
the strikers. The extra sheriff's depu-
ties have been relieved from duty.

THE LAST CAMPAIGN
OF THE CENTURY.

Did you ever stop to think what
this means? That with the death
of the old, there will be, either the
present questions, that directly
affect the people, carried out by the
party in power, or another party
will be given the reins, and new
era, a new system inaugurated with
the birth of the new century. Cues
tions of great portent are to be set.
tied in this campaign, and how far
reaching they will be remains for
the platforms to be enunciated be
fore an itelligent conclusion can be
based.
This may be like its predecessors,
simply a campaign of party
strength. 1t may be that a few vi
tai questions will sway the great
masses of voters. Or it may be that
the monopolies, trusts and combines
will be arrayed on the one side, and
determined to win the victory at
any cost, and by any means, and
crush the last yestige of opposition
To the money power, and fasten ir-
revocably, on the people the chains
Of setvitude. On the other hand, the
great masses may arise in their
might and assert their prerogative
in such manner as to place in
power their true representatives,
who will establish new measures,
new measures did we say? Mol But
measures that are new to our peo-
pie. Those measures that will throw
a safeguard, like a mantle, around
the common people of this country,
and render impossible any legisla
ton detrimental to the interests of
this great people. The "new era" of
direct legislation is beginning to
dawn. Already its lights beginning
TO redden the horizon and millions
of thinking voters are watching the
coming of the dawn of a brighter and
better day for our people, Gcd grant
that the dawn Of a new century may
be double dawning, or usher into
existence an institution whose beni-
ficient results will be world wide in
scope and unreasonable in benefits
to the human race.

A paper, commenting on the sui
eide of young man and lady be-
cause poverty prevented them from
marrying, says that such incidents
are rare in this country but very
common in Europe European con-
ditions here is bearing its legitimate
fruit. In Rome slaves were not al
lowed to marry-only the masters
were given the maids. The pluto.
Gratis here should pass such laws.
Under existing conditions, where
no future but dependent one can
be seen, it is almost a crime to mar
ry and bring forth children whose
future at best can be only one of SER
vitude to trusts, combines and mo-
nopolies. Yes, the suicide of couples
too poor to marry and too poor to
breed like pigs, will continue to in
crease. And such papers as uphold
the private ownership of public prop
erty, by which alone any monopo-
ly opportunities is possible, are res
ponsible for such crimes.

ON OPEN DOOR
Address on the Sub
ject by Benjamin
Ide Wheeler.

San Francisco, March 11.-Presi-
dent Benjamin Ide Wheeler of the
University of California, in an ad-
dress last night at the Monticello
club gave the details of the negotia-
tions which Secretary of State Hay
has had under way for some time
relative to the Chinese open door.
President Wheeler learned of the
negotiations while in conversation
with Secretary Hay during his re,
cent visit to Washington. President
Wheeler said:
"In the course of this week Secre-
tary Of State Hay will announce to
the people victory not of war
call it diplomacy; if you please-by
which the ports OF China will be
opened to the commerce of the world.
He has reached an understanding
with Great Britain, France, Russia
and Germany which does away
with territorial spheres of influence.
According to the terms OF this
agreement there will no longer be
any spheres of influence in the
Flowery kingdom. Customs tariffs
will be abolished as we'll as all other
imposts upon shipping. The idea is
to make the ports free to the worlds
commerce and give all the nations
free hand in exploiting their mar
kets. It is the consummation of the
British idea of the open door which
found SO strong an advocate in Lord
Beresford."
So an "Open Door" means free
trade, does il? How is it going to
dovetail into the Protection the o-
ry2 How is this ''Open Door 30

is good thing for China and the
countries that will go in at this open
door, why in thunder is it not q
good thing for us Americans? The
most careful endeavour, to conceal
will not always succeed. The fact
is that the American consumer is
the victim of the Protection swindle
