WASHINGTON. June 1.-THE Con-
gressional Record is filled with anti
trust speeches and documents which the
Democrats and Populists of both houses
have been dumping into it for the pur-
pose of supplying campaign material at
cost for the printing and free transmits
sion through the mails. Millions and
millions Of these documents will be sent
over the United States at comparative
~ little expense. The Republicans are
availing themselves Of the same privi-
lege to some extent, but in bulk their
contributions are not one-tenth Of the
other side. This is not due to any COM
Functions as to the propriety of the
practice. but only because Of the lack
OF suitable material owing to the de-
fensive attitude into which the party
has been put and from which It cannot
escape.
One of the documents inserted in the
Record Is q list Of trusts which have
been brought into being by the tariff
legislation OF the Republican party. It
is stupendous exhibit and the gigantic
array Of figures is enough to take the
breath away.
These trusts represent In their opera
tions everything that enters into the
life OF the people. Nothing for which
pr1c can be demanded, however insig-
nidcant, seems to have escaped. The
results as shown in figures. which can
not successfully be assailed, Is an adj
vance in every commodity under heaven
ranging from 10 to $50 per cent. In
creditable as it may seem. there are
nearly 500 OF these institutions, repre-
sentfng in the aggregate capitalization
OF 5000, 100000. This is the direct re-
suit Of the great encouragement Of these
institutions by the Republican tariff
and Of Attorney General Griggs' we'll

lations of the law.

SENATORS CL1NCH IN IRE.

Nomination Of Towne for Vice Presi-
dent Brings About . Clash Betweeu
Allen and Pettigrev.
Especial to the Times -Herald.r
WASHINGTON. June 8.-Shortly be-
fore the final adjournment Of congress
yesterday afternoon a scene was enact
ed In the Democratic cloakroom of the
senate that was not down on the bills.
Senator Allen addressed some very
free and frank remarks to Senator But
ler concerning the latter's alleged vio-
lation OF an agreement that there should
be no nomination for vice-president at
the Sioux Falls convention. The re-
marks fitted Senator Pettigrew as we'll
as Mr.. Butler and he took the matter
up. Mr.. Allen then denounced Mr., Pet
tigrew as a traitor" Mr.. Pettierew
resented the reproachful term, and the
two Populist statesmen clinched.
Friends interfered before any blows
were struck and the affair ended for
the time being.
The trouble grew out of the nomina-
ton OF Charles A. Towne for vice-presi-
dent at the Sioux Falls Populist conven-
ton. 1t seems that there was an un-
derstanding between Mr.. Allen, as Mr..
Bryan's nearest friend. and Messrs But
Ter and Pettigrew. that no candidate
should be named. 1t is now CHARGED
that Messrs. Butler and Pettigrew
went back on the understanding and
helped to nominate Mr.. Towne, thereby
the plans Of Messrs. Bry-
an and Allen, whose programme was to
have Mr.. Bryan named for president by
the Populists, and to leave the second
place on the ticket untitled. SO as to give
the Democratic partner Of the political
combine something to do at the Kansas
City convention except simply to ratify
ticket selected wholly by the minority
partner.

Lahore Comment ON Hanna's Convene
tiOn.
Once, when was weak and weary.
And the day was cold and dreary,
I was famished, almost starving
Ragged were the clothes wore;
! was thinking Of suspensions,
And the money kings intention.
For they were then in convention,
Planning as they planned before.
'Iis another trust. whispered,
And the wolf is at the door.
This 1t is-and nothing moro,
Thus for hours sat and pondered.
Sat and closed my eyes and wondered->
wondered why these men OF millions
We're not like the men Of yore.
But the answer came. It's fashion.
Hoarding gold to please the passion.
With fancy teams forever dashine-
Dashing past the poor mans door.
scorningly they look and mutter
AS they pass the poor mans door:
"Our slaves and nothing more"
Your slaves? Aye, chained and fettered.
Slave on every brow Is lettered;
You will sign to our conditions,
Or we'll grind you to the floor.
You have, with weak subjection,
Severed every free connection,
U. s. troops are our protection.
You have signed your names, ye swora
To obey nothing more.
Oh, ye gods, and must we languish
In our poverty and anguish
Starve. while money kings are planning
How to keep their gold in store1
Is our country not enlightened?
Or it's heads like towards frightened
That these reins should not be tightened
On these robbers Of the poor7
Yes! The toiling mass can do 1t,
We changed such things before:
Give them the power-never more.
While corruption ,reigns In Office,
Every Knave and fool and novice,
For sum of filthy lucre
Will betray his trust-and more,
They will legislate to press you
And in every way distress you.
But they're traitors to the core;
They will swear by all that's holy
For your vote-and nothing more.
Must we beg to be in letters?
And the money kings our betters.
That we must like slave approach them
While our wants they still ignore?
No. There must be some reaction.
Something done to crush the faction:
Labor must have satisfaction
Though grim death stood at the door.
Shall I tell you how to get It,
How to strike corruption's core7
Vote for tricksters-NEvER MORE.

HIGH SCHOOL Grow
Prevent Howard Residents From
Getting Anything

The most bitter local war in existence
in the Republican party IN Kansas today
is in Elk county where a controversy
over a county high school building has
divided the members of the party into
factions which sit up at night to secure
advantages of each other
In the last legislature Representative
L Scott Of Elk county put through a
bill authorizing a county high school,
the law providing that the county COM
missioners should appoint trustees who
should proceed at once with the work
OF building
The commissioners offered the first
resistance declining to appoint the trus-
Z tees provided by the law. Mr.. Scott
went into the supreme court upon an
application for a writ of mandamus TO
compel the commissioners to act. The
supreme court held that the law was
constitutional and ordered the commits
/ sloners to comply with it's provisions
/ which were mandatory.
| The commissioners fulfilled the order
/ OF the court by naming trustees but
/ these men declined to act They refused
/ IN every instance to proceed in the mat
! ter and served their time which was by
! the terms Of the law until the next gen
{ eral election.

two mile boat race on Deal Lake On the

covered twelve miles, doing the distance
on a steady run.
The afternoon was consumed IN the
usual round of rope jumping. bag punch
ing and boxing. Jeffries first boxed Dunk
horst four three minute rounds and took
on Brother Jack for four additional
rounds The latter go was a clever dis
play of the science of the game This
was followed up by more bag punching.
