he, like many of the officials, according

most courageous citizens, both morally
and physically in our city, and !

Company's Request Trivial Compared
to Concessions Sought.

Bedford, Oct. S.--(Spl)-A mass
meeting of the citizens of this town
ship and village was held at the town
hall this afternoon to take action in
regard to the application presented
to the County Commissioners by the
Northern Ohio Traction company
formerly the Akron, Bedford & Cleve-
land Electric Railroad company, for
additional franchise for double track
through the township outside the cor
porate limits. A large number were in
attendance and almost ipnumerable
suggestions and resolutions we're pre-
sented as conditions upon which the
people would consent to the franchise
being granted.
The company requests % years
right from the present time and offer
certain concessions but these seem
trivial compared with what the people
seem disposed to demand.
G. A. Ennis was chairman Of the
meeting, and A. NJ. Gordon secretary.
After many resolutions were offer
ed and amendments submitted the
meeting adopted In substance the fol-
lowing: That the company be required
to place the two tracks in the middle
of the roadway, pave between the
tracks and "devil strips" with century
blocks, also 30 inches outside of rails
with same material. and Macadam 15
feet outside of each track with 10 inches
of Stag and six inches limestone on
top. Incandescent lights of five burn
ers each 100 feet apart, and fare of
five cents from the village to the public
square in Cleveland. The company

cording to the Grand Jury's report,
"there was no one to stand up for Ak
ron, her responsible and legal guar
dians had fed; she lay prostrate be-
fore band of hoodlums, her fair name
and fame were being besmirched for
want of moral and physical courage
and her disgrace was complete"
This is the time, according to that
fair and impartial report, by which
the "ctizens are to pass judgment on
each as he deserves" that / was snor-
ing away at Mr. Tim Barry's.
The Governor told me to order Cap
tain Fishert to come at once and to COM
plete arrangements for transportation.
/ did SO. 1t was now nearly 3 o'clock
Just then two local newspa-
per correspondents came to my
house. After asking me for pho
tograph which l told them /
did not have they called me to one
side and said that the mob was threat
ening to come to Chief Harrison's
house as well as my own to destroy
them and do us bodily harm, My wife
caught the drift of the remarks and
she insisted that we leave the house
at once.
I then knew, as the report states,
that the demon of destruction had tired
of its work and the buildings burned
to their final ruin.
could do nothing more until the day
had dawned and the soldiers had ar
rived. I owed duty to the wife of
my bosom and her unborn babe and he
who would upbraid me for performing
it at that time is either brute or an
ignoramus.
I then took her and went, at about
8 or $3.50 o'clock to a neighbours, Tim
Barry's, where we remained until 8
O'Clock, but neither of us was in bed
nor did we sleep wink either then or
at any time during that awful night.
This was all given as testimony be-
fore the Grand Jury and every word
of it can be corroborated.
Why it omitted to tell what had been
done in the way of calling in the po-
lice, and after the first attack was
made in summoning the militia, l can't
imagine. Neither do know why they
should sign report stating that left
my home at 12 o'clock and paid no
further attention to my duties as an
official.
Perhaps they can explain. If so, l
should be glad to hear from them. l
believe there is, with possibly one ex-
ception, not man among their entire
number who would Intentionally and
without good cause cast reflections up
on the conduct or character of any
man, and especially one who possess
es but little else In the world save his
good name.
1t might have been well for the mem
bers of the Grand Jury before they
signed their Honorable Foreman's re-
port, because II was his brain that
conceived 1t and his hand that wrote
1t, to have asked him why he didn't
respond to the call for aid. He com
plains that the Police call system was
not used to call in the police and citi
zens. We find it was used to summon
the police and the militia and to cal
on the fire department for help. I un
derstand the Honorable Foreman says

ADJUSTMENTS.

One of the most elaborate and sue
cessfuI benefits ever given in Salt Lake
was the Gibson picture entertainment
given at the Salt Lake theatre yester-
day for St. Pauls Guild. The affair
was under the auspices of the ladies Of
the guild. who deserve to be highly
commended on the success of their ef-
forts.
The Gibson tableaux were all beauti-
full. and there was NJ choice between
them as to excellence. All were per-
feet copies of the pictures they repre-
scented. The beauty of the women,
their handsome gowns. and the Glib
sonianism' of the men all heightened
the beauty Of the effects. 1t is seldom
that an amateur entertainment goes
with such -smoothness and distinction,
and great credit is due TO Mr.. WeSter-
field and his fellow workers.
Round after round of applause greet
ed each picture. and the pOsers were
tried to the last limit of their endur-
ance with the encores.
In the afternoon the programme was
followed. with the execution of the
numbers of Professor Landrum' 5

Senator kIoar is an able man. He is
experienced in affairs of state. He is
regarded as the greatest real states
man Of the Republican party now in
public life. He was one of the found
ers Of the party He takes a fatherly
interest in the organization. He grieves
to see the evil lines into which it has
fallen. He deplores the mercenary spirit
which has taken entire control of it,
He would like to rescue it from the
hands of the conquistadors and corrup-
tionists into which it has fallen.
And this. perhaps, is what makes the
senator appear te be more of a par
tisan than a statesman; this is what
makes him cling to Mckinley. although
he knows the ship of state is being
steered by this presidential pilot to-
wards the destructive rocks of imper-
ialism: this is why he will sustain with
his vote and his influence in the COM
ing campaign The expansion policy of
Burr in preference to that of jefferson;
this is why he will remain in full fell
lowship with an aggregation of politi-
clans who are plotting the destruction
of the republic and the establishment
of an empire on it's ruins.
1t is hard to believe that the sage of
the imperial party is insinceEe in his
denunciation of it's imperial policy. 1t
will never do TO say that he is talk
ing for effect. Senator HOar has long
since passed that time of life when
men address the senate with an eye
on the gallery. He is earnest. He be-
lieves that the Philippine issue is par
amount in this campaign. He has said
50 in all ofVhis speeches. He believes
that the policy of the administration
is unwise, unconstitutional, unjust and
unpopular. He has declared that, if
persisted in, it will result in the ruin
of the republic, the shame of the peO-
pie, the creation of military despot-
ism. And yet he refuses to vote against
the party and the candidates commit
ted to, involved in this infamyi

'oUlL NEBEKER'S UNDOING.

With its usual solicitude for the well
fare of the Democratic party, the Salt
Lake Tribune has Begun announcing
its Democratic candidates for Office in
advance of the conventions. This habit
has been encouraged by the signal de-
feat of every Democrat-and most Re
publicans-who have had the backing
of the Storm Starter, as witness the
distressing fate of the late James Trust
Hammond All Mr.. Hanna's organ has
to do when it has a grudge against a
man in either party is to pretend
friendship for him; the voters do the
rest. and that mans name is Dennis
Mud forever after.
In its issue yesterday, the Tribune
proclaimed Hon. Aquila Nebeker of
Rich county as its candidate for gov
ernor on the Democratic ticket. Just
why it should have chosen Quill for a
victim so early in the political season
does not yet appear. 1t might at least
have deferred the sacrifice until a while
later. Apparently, Quill has always
been a staunch friend of the organ, and
until now it has reciprocated the
friendship. Doubtless the reason for
its cruelty will appear in good time,
but on the face of things, it's betrayal
has no extenuating features.
Immediately after the announcement
of his candidacy by the Tribune. Mr..
Nebeker, accompanied by Henry NJ.
Ryan, left for Arizona. No wonder.

HOAR'S PARTISANSHIP.

Senator HOar the veteran statesman
of the Republican party, made one OF
the ablest speeches heard in the United
States senate in many years last Tues
day. He tore to tatters the mercenary
appeals of Beveridge and Lodge, swept
out of tolerance the sOrdid statecraft
OF Elkins, Platt and Hanna, held up
to scorn the expansion policy of Aaron
Burr and Mckinley, and showed the
difference between the honest Ameri-
can expansion OF jefferson, and the
avaricious, Immoral imperialism of the
present administration.
Addressing himself to Hanna's new
school of statesmen, those who would
disregard the constitution. apologize for
the Declaration Of Independence, and
model our government after the pattern
of that from which our forefathers re-
belled, he said:
American expansion is the expan-
sion Of freedom and not of despotism
of life and not of death Never was
such growth in all human history as
that from the seed Thomas Jefferson
planted. 1t has covered the continent
1t has taken in South America. 1t is
revolutionizing Europe. 1t is the expan-
sion of freedom. It differs from your
tinsel, pinchbeck, pewter expansion. as
the growth of a healthy youth into a
strong man differs from the expansion
o. an anaconda when he swallows his
victim. Ours is the expansion OF
Thomas jefferson. Yours is the expan-
sion Of Aaron Burr. 1t is destined tc
as short a life and to like fate"
OF the policy Of the administration
as outlined in the colonial system in
augurated in Porto Rico, in the reso-
Iations of administration leaders in the
senate and in the speeches of the presi-
dent himself the distinguished Repub-
lican from Massachusetts declared:
believe not only that perseverance il
the present policy will be the abandon
ment of the principles upon which oul
government is founded. that il will chang'
our republic into an empire. that oul
methods of Legislation. Of dis-.0rnacy. 81
