Leland Stanford and His Son.
The Stanford University is founded on
a sentiment. 1t is on the love which
Senator and Mrs. Stanford held for
their son, Leland Stanford, jr. This
boy was the apple of Senator Stanford's
eye. He was piling up his fortune for him,
when, at the age of sixteen, the boy died
very pretty story is told Of how the SEN
ator came to found the university. The
idea was the outcome of dream which he
had during his sons last illness. 1t was at
Rome. The senator was worn out with
watching over his sick boy and he fell
asleep and dreamed. In his dream he
seemed to be mourning with his son over
his coming death and said to him: My
boy, if you die l shall die, too. / will have
nothing to live for when you are gone -
Hereupon in his dream he heard the boy
say: Father. don't say you have nothing
to live for. You have much to live for.
Live for humanity, father" The dream
made such strong impression upon the
senator that it is said he awoke Mrs. STAN
ford and told her of it. The two then rose
and went into their sons room only to find
that he had passed away. This dream

Indianapolis, November 1.-THE meet
ing of the National executive board Of
the United Mine Workers of America
which is to be held here tomorrow is the
last to be held by the board before the
National convention in January Matters
of grave character will be considered and
the policy to be adopted at the convention
will be outlined.
Foremost among the matters is the
condition in the anthracite field. While
the miers were victorious in the great
strike which has just been settled. this
was simply a preliminary skirmish and
a great deal OF work remains to be DONE
IT is announced. The primary considera-
tion is to get the operators in the an
thracite districts to meet the represen-
tatives of the United Mine Workers in
annual scale conferences. Ane second
question is the admission of West Viz
ginia and Iowa to the competitive field.
None of the officials are prepared TO
say whether or not an advance in wages
will be asked.

Hartman syndicate. it is said. for an ih-
terchanee of traffic between the two
interests. The fact that T.. G.. hartman

close relations would prevail between the
management of that company and the
Kansas City Southern. II is stated that
certain concessions have been asked by
the Kansas City Southern which the
Southern Pacific MANAGEMENT does not
feel at liberty to grant According to
current reports. the owners of the Kansas
City southern want the Southern Pacific
to abandon its terminals at Sabine Pass

New York, November lit was ascer
tanned today that the contract for the
sale of the Gould yacht Atlanta to tao
Colombian government had been abrogat,
ed. The contract was made several montna
ago by authority of Jose Manuel Sancle
mente president OF Colombia. By the
terms of the contract the Colombian gov.
eminent was to pay 900 for the yacht.
which was TO be fitted UP as a gunboal
George J. Gould was to receive $4,000 of
that sum and the ordnance company was
to receive the balance.
The Colombian government paid $4,000
under the terms OF the contract, and 1T is
said Mr. Gould received 200 of that
sum. The remaining s5O,00O should have
been paid under the c ntract before Oc-
tober %. President Sancemente lost con-
troll of the Colombian government last
summer. when the power was usurped by
Manuel A. Marroauin the vice president
ana the contract was abrogated by the
failure Of the Colombian government to
pay the remainder Of the purchase price.
Mr.. Gould gets back his yacht, with
$40, goo penalty from the Colombian gov
ernment One reason for the purchase OF
the Atlanta as a vessel of war by the Co.

to pay an indemnity for aiding Colombian
rebels Now that Mr.. Gould has his yacht
bask on his hands there is report that

The New battle of Democracy.

Philadelphia Times
The reelection OF president Mcklnley
in the face OF the general condemnation
Of his policy Is the fullest justification
of the battle the democracy has made in
defense of popular rights--a battle that
begins anew today and will continue until
it lis won,
The enormous concentration OF capital
under corporate control has become the
dominant power in this country, 1t con-
trolls the legislatures; II controls the Ma
tional government. 1t controls our cleo
lions. Through Its countless channels OF
influence, by corruption, intimidation and
misrepresentation of every kind, II has
compelled the election Of its chosen can
didate against The deliberate Judgment
OF the American people.
This lis the solemn truth which the
people have to face today. Mr.. Mckin-
ley's recollection is not sign OF popular
approval. That he does not command,
as candid Republicans will themselves
admit. Disguise 1t under whatever name,
IL is the achievement of the money power
alone, that has tyrannlzed over the popu-
lar judgment and, whether by fair means
or by foul. has prevented the free ex-
preston of the popular Will.
Imperialism in government goes hand
in hand with this tyranny OF money. that
finds expression in the trusts. The peo-
pie have not approved they have been
overawed. The false cry OF danger 10
business INTERESTS" has terrified and 90
creed men against their judgment,
against their interest against their con-
Wctions of principle. and the concentrated
power of great political organization
controlled and guided i'm the Interest OF
the few against the many, has prevailed
AGAINST the higher aspirations OF Ameri-
can democracy.
Serious as this situation is. the patriot
VIII face II with fresh hope. The cam
paign OF MISREPRESENTATION and false pre-
tense is ended. The new campaign be-
gins today. in which the truth will pre-
vail II will not be denied that thou
sands voted for Mckinley Yesterday who
are earnestly opposed TO the conduct OF
his administration and 10 the policy. the
tendencies and the influences he repre-
SCENTS. yet whose judgment was overborno
by fictitious fears OF dangers they were
told might come from a change OF power.
| Such fears can no longer be appealed to.
/ The republican party de- again put on

In it's contempt for constitutional re-
straints. IL must pass swiftly to It's own

/ The democratic party in Philadelphla

4 city is to be redeemed from the control
of banded robbers; the State is to be re-
deemed from the power OF a corrupt ma
chine; the principles OF American liberty
are to be again proclaimed as the basi,
OF our National prosperity. Released
from the tyranny OF prejudice and fear
