Republican Belief That the
ley Administration should be
P~erpetuated.

Senator Hanna is radically and dam
gerously wrong in his belief that the
time is al hand when ii is an American
duty to Go all one IA to "p~erpetuate"
the NJ Sin,ey administration.
Even if Mr.. Mckinley had devoted
himself TO serving the American people
instead of the American trusts, it would
not be the duty OF Americans to per
pe.uate" his administration. The per
petuation" OF administrations is not
advisable in a free and self-governing
republic.
1t is essentially logical. however.
that Hanna and the imperialist party
should believe heart and soul in the
ACCESSIBILITY of 'perpetuating" Mr.. Nc
Kinley's administration. Empire and
the unchanged rule OF the man who
stands for empire dovetail together as
neatly and surely as " and two make
four. The one is blood of the others
blood and bone of its bone.
The grasping and greedy monopo-
lists who have forced this government
into the paths of empire and who are
r~esolute hat it shall remain in those
paths unquestionably believe that Mr..
McKinley's administration should be
..perpetuate6." With another four
years of intensified empire they are
equal o demanding that ii be again
..perpetuate6." And so great is their
contempt for the common people that
they might not hen be willing to rec
ognize the validity of the peoples de-
mand for a change of administration.
The "perpetuating' Of administra-
tons is peculiarly dangerous at the
present time. 1t might become an i'm.
perial habit.-St. Louis Republic.

The Vermont and Maine cleo
tions make IL certain that the gold
democrats are very generally voting
with their party again. Thai being
the case, there are strong reasons for
saying that Mr.. Bryan, besides the
southern states, will get all OF the
states in which Mr.. Mckinley was VIC
torious by a small majority in 1896.
There are enough of those states 20
insure a majority Of the electoral
votes for Mr.. Bryan.-Sayannah News.

There is no imperialism" declares
President Mckinley in his letter Of
acceptance. From president down ts
the humblest sp%ellbinder and orgaa
grinder the republicans are kept busy
protesting that an evil which does ex-
list in a palpable form really has no
existence. Their denials are based
upon the assumption that the Ameri-
can people are so dull witted that they
are unable to understand the differ
cnce between republican government
and the kind of government which has
been established in Porto Rico and
which is ultimately to be forced upon
the Observation-Disclosures Sun.

Toner the Bcttcr Citizen.

II believe the shovel is worthy OF more
respect than the gun and the trowel Of
more respect than the pistol. | believe
that the w~orlingman who produces Is a
better citizen than the paid soldier who
destroys. And l believe that the soldier
who fights for liberty, for freedom and for
permanent institutions Is the man who
Is as efficient in industry as he is valorous In
the field. who Is ready to throw away the
trowel Of production and take the musket
when liberty is assailed and equally ready
to make the change back again when JUS
tice Is established and the earth remains
TO be conquered.
perity I want Just to call your attention
TO just What prosperity is. The men who
talk from the republican platform talk
OF prosperity as though the prosperity Of
the country was the price OF securities
In Wall street. Now. that Is one evidence
but by no means conclusive. The con-
elusive evidence OF prosperity. the one
which never can betray. or mislead is the
rate of wages paid to laborers.
Now. l do not say that with any ex-
preston OF special affection for the man
who works with his hands, but because
labor must produce the fund from which
Its wages are paid. 1f Its wages are
high. Its production must be expensive.
When production is expensive commodi-
ties are abundant. and when commodi-
| ties are abundant prosperity must be
general, and when prosperity Is general
you and ! and all OF us must share.
No Real values In Danger.
prosperity is to find openings for COM
modities fairly distributed among those
| who produce them. | say that Mr.. organs
election will make for that form OF pros
perity. and ! say. moreover. that no real
value In this country Will be deprecated
by his election. There viii be certain
| wildcat securities that may find II din.
| cult to obtain a market. and the men who
are talking now about our prosperity de.
pendent upon Mr.. Mckinlcy's election. TIE
men who are advancing the money fol-
this campaign, fund, are not the men who,
II Mr.. Mckinley succeeds will be buyers,
but will be sellers.
"If they really believed that Il was going
10 inaugurate a reign OF prosperity on mis-
reelection they would be buyers. Msr
whenever they really think the countrv Il
going TO be prosperous are buyers, but
these gentle men are largely loaded down
with at assortment OF wild-cat securities

A PROCLAMATION
 BY THE NEW KING Victor Emanuel III. Begs His Peo- pie to Stand by Him AND UPHOLD lTALY'S NAME He Asks to be Fortified in the Love of His People His Fathers Death
 a Calamity to the
 Country
AND UPHOLD lTALY'S NAME

Monza, August 3.-King Victor Emanuel III. has addressed the following procama- tion to the Italian people:
 "The second King of Italy is dead. Es- caping, thanks to his valor as a soldier to dangers of battle and departure un- harmed; thanks to providence, from the risks he confronted so courageously to end public calamities. The vrtuous King fell a victim to atrocious crime, while, with easy conscience and without fear of dan ger. he was participating in the joys of his people in their fetes.
 Tt was not permitted to me to be pres ent at the last breath of my father, but I understood my first duty to be to follow the counsels he left me and to initiate the virtues of the King and first citizens of It. ally.
 Tn the moment of profound silence I have to aid me the strength which comes from examples of my august father and of that great King who deserves to be call ed the father of his country l have also to support me the strength which comes from the love and devotion of the Italian people for the King whom they venerated and weep for.
 ..'rhere remain to us the institutions which he Loyalty preserved and which he attempted to render permanent during the twenty-two years of his reign These in- stsitutions are given to me as the sacred traditions of my house; and the warm love which Italians have for them, protected with a firm and energetic hand from as- sault or any violence, from whatever source it comes, assures me. l am certain of the prosperity and the grandeur of the coun- try. It was the glory of my grandfa ther to have given Italy its unity and indepen- dence. It was the glory of my father to have jealously guarded this unity and this independence to the end.
 My reign shall be outlined by these im- perishable remembrances. May God aid me and may the love of my people fortify me, so that I may concentrate all my cares a king to the guardianship of liberty and the defense of the monarchy united by the indissolube bonds of the supreme interests of the country.
 Italians, render your tribute of tears and honors to the sacred memory of Hum- bert of Savoy. You, in the bitter sorrow which has struck my house, have shown that you consider this sorrow though it were that of each individual among you.
 This soldity of thought and affection will always be the most certain bulwark of my reign and the best guarantee of the unity of the country which unites in the august name of Rome, symbol of grandeur and pledge of integrity for Italy.
 Such are my hopes; such is my ambition as citizen and as King"

AYCOCK ELECTED
Democratic Majority in North Carolira @
 Over 55,oOO

Raleigh, N. C., August 3.-Returns from yesterdays election indicate that Charles B. Aycock, Democrat, is elected Governor by a majority of between 55,O0O and 6O,00O.
 Democratic Chairman Simmonds says it will go over 60,O00, if the rate of increase in the Democratic votes shown by the rest of the state is maintained in the doz- en western counties yet to be heard from.
 The vote on the franchise amendment and that on the state ticket are very near ly the same; the ticket slightly leading.
 The Legislature, which will elect suc- cessor to Senator Marion Butler (Popu- lisD, will be four-ffths Democratic in both branches The latest returns indicate that the Democrats will have at least thirty eight out of fifty Senators and eighty mine out of 120 members of the House. Coun- ties yet to be heard from are expected to increase the Democratic strength.
 There was no disorder or rioting in the state yesterday or last night, and today no disturbances are reported. So quiet an election was never before held in North Carolina.
 Senator Butler, who managed the fusion campaign, admits his defeat, but charges that there has been fraud and intimida- ton.

IRON SITUATION
Much Stress on the Conference of Prom.
 inent Officials

Cleveland, O., August 3-The Iron Trade Review says:
 "A superficial review of the situation puts stress upon the conference of officers of the large steel companies and those of the Bes- semer Pig Iron Assoicaton at Chicago on Thursday and Friday of last week. It Is true that restriction of pig iron output both by the steel companies and by the merchant furnaces was discussed at length, hut the meeting was without outcome in any definite plan for reducing production
 4he furnace mems proposition was to put out a furnace for every one blown out or banked by the steel companies, the ar- raignment to be in force for a month. It appeared, however, that the steel companies already have more idle furnaces than have been shut down by the Bessemer Associa- tion. These, and the fact that one large producer is not in cooperation with the efforts to steady the situation, and of what is more account than any other element, the disposition of furnace men and steel manufactures to adapt their policies to actual market conditions, put the solution of the problem outside of resolutions and meetings.
 Tt can be said that a decided restriction in Bessemer pig iron productions will be seen in the near future, but it will come in just the way that production of finished material has been curtailed in various di- rections in the past few months.

WHERE PLOT WAS MADE
Room Found Where Plans for Hum
 bert's Death Were Laid

New York, August 3. - Detectives have found the room in which It is claimed that the plot to kill King Humbert was formed. It Is on the second floor of West Hobo- ken, N J., resort for anarchists, and Is in the heart of the Italian settlement. The place has not been known as a meeting place for anarchists. There have been no public meetings held there, and the room where the men met was kept for secret conferences.
 The detectives say they learned last night from Socialists who attended meeting at the place that less than four months ago two Italians, man and woman, arrived In Hoboken and an important conference was held In this room.
 Mrs. Bressi, the destitute wife of the as- sassin, with her little daughter, arrived in this city from their home in Hoboken for the purpose of seeing the Italian consul. Mrs. Bressi said she wanted to write a letter to her husband, but the consul gen. eral told her 1t would be denied. The woman then asked if it would be possible for her to get possession of any valuables her husband had in his possession when he was arrested. He had a diamond of con- siderable value, she said. The consul gen. eral promised to do what he could for the woman.
 The police have learned that prior to Bressi's leaving this country he was ten- dered a banquet, at which eight persons were present, three of whom, Salvatore Quntavelo a man named Sassi and man named Lenner or Lanner, are now under arrest in Italy.
 The other guests are not yet known to the police, but most of them are under sur- veillance. One of them is said to be a woman. This would indicate that there were at least eight persons concerned In the plot to kill the King.

SALSON TRIED TO
 TAKE SHAFTS LIFE
WouId-be Assasin's Identity Was
 Finally Established.
HE TALKED MORE FREELY
Says if He Had Succ seded and Escap- ed He Would Next Have Killed the Czar of Russia-Pro-
 bable Sentence

Paris, August 3.-At the meeting of the Cabinet today it was announced the would be assassin of Muzzaffrad-Din, Shah of Persia, had given his name Salson. A man of his name who has been regarded and watched as an anarchist disappeared form Paris in 1895 and has not since been located.
 Salson was more communicative today and when an effort was made to interro- gate him he spoke freely of yesterdays att tempt and ventilated his anarchistic ideas, but when asked if he acted as the instru- ment of others he declined to answer, say ing, however, that had he killed the Shah and escaped he would have killed the Czar. For a month before the attempted homi- eide Salson had been living at a small hotel. He was there regarded as model .drder. He was regular in habits, but was taciturn and had few companions. He never talked politics. During the last few days he was especially reticent. It Is believed he pur- chased the revolver three days ago.
 Further inquiries at the hotel where Sal- son lived brought to light the fact that he had been working as day laborer until re- gently, when his work was finished. He was then unable to find new employment, and became more communicative than for merly though still keeping regular hours. Life Sentence Probably 1t will be life sentence at hard labor when he is convicted, though 1t Is possible he will be condemned to the guil- lotine. The statutes provide extreme pen- alty.
 The man who threw the bomb In the Chamber of Deputies was executed though no loss of life resulted from his act
 Paris has not yet recovered from its in- dignation at the attempt on the life of its royal visitor. The press Is filled with apol- ogies and expressions of regret, and urges the suppression of anarchists as further protection to public officials
 As result of the attempt on the life of the Shah the curious crowd which sur rounded the Palace of Sovereigns was pre- vented from appearing In the hallway when the Shah started for Vienna, where q nsili- tary review was held In his honor.
 An escort of dragons surrounded the royal cart.
 The Shah seems to be the least con- cerned of all over the efforts to take his life and he has not curtailed the pro- gramme he had in view. The discovery of Salsons identity was made by meank of the Bertillion system his measure ments agreeing with card at the police headquarters. When shown the card and photographs the criminal said:
 ''Yes, that is me-"
 His full name is Francois Salson He Is a Frenchman and was born in 1878. He was regarded as a dangerous anarchist was condemned in October, 1898, to three months imprisonment for preaching an- archy. In June, 1899, he was condemned to eight months imprisonment for like offense.
