Indiana $4,000.

The leading Democratic papers assert
that the Republican State Committee
of Indiana has caused poll of the State
to be taken, and that this poll shows a
clean Democratic majority of 1900
How reliable this may be each one may
form his OWL conclusions. OF course,
the Republican Committee did not
knowingly give out this adverse report,
but these papers claim to have obtained
il semi officially.
The Democrats claim that quiet rev.
olution has been gong on for two years.
and that the changes are chiefly from
the laboring classes. They claim that
the operation OF the Trusts, notably in
the gas belt, has had the effect of clos
ing down a great many factories, throw
ing great many out of employment
and increasing prices on Others. Thus
giving object lessons to the lndianians.
1t is sand, also, that great many of the
factory operatives will vote the Socialist
ticket.

English Forecast Of Our Presidential
Contest.

The London Morning Chronicle Of
July-30, has long communication from
Its Washington correspondent, in which
he calmly discusses the present political
situation in this country, and the prob
able outcome in the coming election.
From his connection with one of the
leading English dailies II may reason
ably be supposed that he Is in close
touch with the leaders of the Republi-
can party, and, therefore his conclu-
sions are Of more than ordinary inter
est. The political mathematician. he
says, set down "a States as 'certain" for
Bryan, with total electoral vote of 1874,
and II States n certain" for MoKin-
ley. with total vote of lS4. Among
these II he includes California. Illinois,
Kansas, Ohio and Wisconsin, all of
which Democrats believe they can carry
Kansas went for for Bryan four years
ago
The following States, the correspond
ent sets down as doubtful - Colorado,
Indiana, Michigan, New York. with an
electoral vote of 3d. In commenting ON
his figures he writes IF Mckinley is
to win he must carry all of the States
which 1 give him as certain plus
New York, and nc least one other State,
while Bryan, if my calculations are cor
rect, has TO carry only New York to
march with unobstructed path 10 the
White House" He mentions many
things in favor of McKinlev, including
unlimited money and the vast army of
federal employees, but adds; "And yet,
after giving all these things their prop
er value, there still remains the un-
known and determining factor the Re-
publican vote of four years ago, which
this wear will vote for Bryan to rebuke

About The Extra Session

The Kentucky Legislature is assem-
bled IN extra session to consider the
election laws, notifications, amend
ments or changes.
The Clerk desk is covered with new
election bills, which, of course, are re-
ferred TO the committee, and out of the
mass will come one or more bills, and
then will commence the fight.
The whole extra session may
amount only to continued wran.
gle, or 1t may evolve a fairer and better
electish law.
There is deal of humbug about this
election law talk any how. The great
est trouble is the intense bitter partisan
ship that pertains to the enforcement or
non enforcement of election laws, more
than the law itself. Honest men,
thoroughly honest. will not be guilty of
fraud or wrong, no matter what the
law is; and il is next TO impossible to
make any law sufficiently non parti-
san as to give thorough protection from
scoundrels. None the less, it is to be
hoped that the Legislature will give us
Just and fair law.

THEY WILL GO TO WAR
And Possibly all the World.

The announcement now goes that
Russia, Germany and Japan have de-
clared War against China, and that
England and the United States have
been invited TO step down and hands off.
The accepted idea has been that Rus
STA and France were united and under
stood each Others purpose. and that En-
gland and the United States would be
united If involved in war. The news
papers have sand .wiched Germany, ia
pan and Italy, first ON one side and
then ON the other. But, how the final
alignment of nations will be when the
war Is on, no doubt depends upon flu
ture contingencies. In fact, it may be
years before the general war occurs, but
that it will occur in the division of
China, no one seems to have a doubt
The same has been true in regard TO
Turkey for many years, but the great
Powers have balancedeach other through
Jealousy as to the division and partition.
The same may prove true as TO China.

The next instant Frank Blezinski, who

-crawled through n hole in the floor and
dashed into the street and shut of the

roof was thrown 25 feet away into the

The Detroit City Gas Co. had been put

Three Killed and Several Wounded

Sunday, the 10th, was one of the
most eventful and bloody days since the
great strike on the ST. Louis Transit
lines began more than one month ago.
There were numerous encounters be-
tween strikers and other individuals
and the constituted authorities, re-
suited in three deaths and the wound
ing of five or more persons, mostly
strikers. One of the latter will die
The day was quiet until the afternoon,
when the police were taken off a num-
Der of street car lines for the purpose
of giving them rest and to test the
ability of the Transit Co. TO operate
without further friction.
During the day several hundred
striking street car men had went to
East st. Louis to attend a picnic given
for their benefit. Towards evening
they began returning home. No seri-
Gus trouble occurred until a company
of nearly $50 street car men in uniform
and headed by drum corps marched
into the city carrying banners bearing
the words: Union or nothing; liberty
or death" When they reached the
barracks occupied by the sheriff S
posse, they became somewhat hilarious,
and the sheriff S men rushed out into
the street and ordered the men to inn
mediately dispense. Some one in the
crowd fired shot, and the deputies
then turned loose their repeating shot
guns loaded with buckshot. As far as
could be learned only four in the strik-
ers' ranks were hit, and not even one
of the deputies was wounded. AS soon
as the firing ceased 20 of the strikers
were arrested.
