ARE AFTER THE yLANr.

As already stated, this syndicate must
raise the sum of 100000 In order to
control the works. the balance to be
paid later according TO terms to be ar
ranged, and up to the present, IL is said
that only about one-quarter OF the sum
has been raised.
There is ans impression, however. that
the extension of the time of the option
by Mr.. Rogers indicates that he Is dis
posed to believe that the money can be
raised. but this. OF course, is problem
atical.
1t is an openly known fact that II the
Katz Brothers syndicate secures control
OF the Rogers works II will not be for
the purpose of engaging In the manu-
facture OF locomotives, but simply to
keep the host of skilled workmen in Pater-
son.
This is just where Mr.. Letter and {
Messrs. Hoadley come in, and IL is said
that the syndicate has already signified
its willingness to turn the works over
to them. IL their deal is carried out
III nothing is done by the Katz Brothers
when the option expires, then Mr.. Letter
and the Hoadleys can deal directly with
Mr.. Rogers, and may succeed In secur-
ing the big plant.

From the news that comes from New
York and general indications that are in
the air in this city. there is great danger
that Providence may lose one, or, per-
haps. 1t might be more correct to say
two. of Its leading Industries.
A day or two ago The News called at
tention to the negotiations that were
pending for the purchase of the big plant
Of the Rogers locomotive works at Pater-
son. N. j., and II was then stated that
Joseph Letter and the Messrs HoadIey
of this city and Worcester. were making
strenuous efforts to secure the property.
Up to the present time. according to
the dispatches received, there is no change
in the situation, except that the option
on the Rogers works has been extended
until midnight on Dec. 81.
This option, however, Is not to Mr.
Letter and the Hoadleys. but the Katz
Brothers of Paterson, who represent a
syndicate of business men of that city
who desire to keep the big works going
there.

- Rev. Chas. M. Sheldon has rejec-
ted many advertisements that have
been submitted for publication in the
Topeka Capital during his week OF
editorship. He has not accepted a
single patent medicine advertisement.
He admits that many patent medi-
cines have merit; but the frauds are
more numerous than the good ones
and he has not the time in which to
make investigations. He has refused
whisky advertisements, and also the
of magazines that ad-
vertise whisky. He declines to ad-
vertise corsets on the ground that he
does not believe in tight lacing, and
also on account of the cuts showing
women fitting on corsets. He objects
to such cuts on account of their coarse
suggestiveness. An advertisement of
the Kelley institute was turned down,
Mr.. Sheldon being one OF those men
who hold that whisky drinking is not
a disease; but a crime. We agree
with Mr.. Sheldon on the whisky
question, having many times turned
down whisky advertisements for
which over full price was offered, and
he is also right as to patent medicines.
We never accept such advertisements
unless we have reason to believe that
the goods offered are honest and
We have never seen fit,
however, to 60 so far as to refuse to
advertise magazine that contains Oh
jectionable advertisements. That
looks like most too much of a good
thing.

the coming Democratic party reorgan-
ization in the state preparatory to the
holding of the state Democratic Con-
vention to be held in May, and for the
conduct Of the campaign and primaries
to be held throughout the state this

The first step toward reorganization
for the work ahead this year, which is
a presidential as well >as state cam.

with the reorganization of the Demo
cratic party, Colonel U. K. Gunter,
Jr., secretary of the state executive
com mittee, has prepared the following,
which gives all information necessary
"The township or ward clubs shall

These local clubs elect president, a re-
cording and corresponding secretary

from each club to be elected by the re
spective clubs. The executive commit

Populists. Mr.. Hill intends to make
the fight of his life at Kansas City, and
has been in training for it for months.
He is in correspondence with old line
Democrats in every part of the coun-
try, trying to organize the opposition,
and Perry Belmont thinks he will win.
Nobody can find out how much en-
couragement he has received. He
keeps his secrets we'll but there may
be some surprises at Kansas City. An
old mossback predicted today that the
New York delegation would be against
Bryan no matter what promises Croker
had made.
