JUDGE LAUBIE,
A Prominent Republican Lawyer,
CritiCises the Administration.
Time Has Come to Call Halt Upon I'm

Putin Bay, O..Juiy H. -(Spl.) Judge
p. A. Laubie, OF Salem. president of
the Ohio Bar Association, and one Of
the best known Republicans In Ohio,
created IA sensation at the opening
meeting Of the Association yesterday

Five hulrcd members of the Bar
Association were present ahd they
were very demoDstrative in their ap-
proval OF the sentiments uttered by
tue speaker.
Tho applause was deafcning at times
aud when he had finished, those pres
eut rushed forward with a yell and
seized the aged jurist and almost bore
him bodily from the hall. Never has
there been such demonstration ON the
ed today, during aud ut the close of the
presidents address. He announced
that lie was IA ''Republlcan and ev-
erybody knew it," His argument was
based on facts founded on the consti-
tuition of the United States. He so
thoroughly captured the convention
that all orher business planned for the
session was postponed until Wednes-
day morning.
Judge Laubc took up the different
questions that now confront the Amer
ican people and handled them in an
able and exhaustive manner from II
legal standpoint. His deductions came
as surprise to some members of the
Association.
He referred to the war in the Phil
ippines as an unjust one, and that this
country had neither a moral nor legal
right to a single island.
"The rapidty with which organized
wealth is accommodating in power is to
be deplored,' said the speaker, "and
that power has now become so great
that all branches of the government

bill he said that the bill was uncon-

real object by calling it the great

Laubic, sis one of the most. &c not the
most nomentous questions this nation
has ever been called upon to face from

nothing short of robbery. II we con
tinue in our present attitude 1t may
be safely predicted that the Whole pol.
ley aud system of our government will
be upset and reversed"
He deplored the act of the govern
mcht in pensioning the polygamous
Sultan of Sulu, and at the same time
shooting Christian Fillpinos. He de-
cIared it TO be an outrage Oh human
ity.
He severely criticised the govern
ment and the American missionary
societies for attempting TO convert the
Chinese, particularly in the present
hypocritical manner did he disagree.
The Chinese are denied both the rights
of naturalization in this country, and
also the rights of habitation.
Referring to the money powers and
the trusts. he said;
''-rhe lust of wealth has become in
Suitable through the republic. Money
largely dominates all things; society,
church, and state, politics, legislative,
and even the courts. 1t is the pole
star of desire, and the acme of oppor-
tunity. 1t is the enemy of equality and
liberty in man and nation. 1t has
destroyed republics ere now, and makes
one trcmblc for this one.''
"rhat time is at hand" said the
speaker, ''when halt should be call

stamp out the imperialistic doctrine so
extensively advocated throughout the
nation. If the country is to be spared

Tremendous applause greeted Judge
Laubie at the close, and the members
present rushed forward to grasp him
by the hand. and to offer congratula-
tions for his address. and tue manner
in which he delivered It.

A PREMoNITION OF TROUBLE.

Some as yet underlined trouble is
brewing for the American people, if
Secretary of War Root may be taken
as an authority. The Secretary presid-
ed ove the Grant banquet at the Wal
dorf-Astoria Hotel, New York, last Fri
day night, and facing several hundred
distinguished gentlemen, he said:
mo intelligent man can read the signs
Of the times to-day and not realize that the
hour is coming, and coming before many
years, when we. the American people, will
be forced either to abandon the Monroe
doctrine or else fight for 1t.
And unless greater wisdom and diligence
in legislation IS displayed In the future
than has prevailed in the past, that time is
likely to arrive and find us in a state of
u-npreparedness.
, Should that happen, are We going to
abandon the Monroe doctrine? Never! We
may have to fight for X. but we can never
abandon It. Should such a crisis find US
unprepared, oh! what would we not give,
then, for one hour of Ulysses 8. Grant,"
This has a sinister cast of counten-
ance. When a cabinet officer, and .es-
pecially the Secretary OF War, speaks
thus in public there must be a cloud in
the sky a little larger than a mans
hand. Is it to be var again? Whittier

PHILADELPHIA, April 29.-Interest
has been aroused in the approaching
Populist national convention, which
will be held in Cincinnati May 9th,
owing to the possibility of that party
turning it's back upon w. j. Bryan.
According to Wharton Barker, of this
city, who has received the endorse
ment Of some of the Populist State con-
%ventions for President, there will be
between 800 and 1000 delegates at the
Cincinnati convention, the majority
coming from the South, West and Cen
trail West. Asked as to the effect of
his nomination to the Presidency by the
Populists on Mr.. Bryan's candidacy,
Mr.. Barker said:
There can no longer be a doubt in
the situation, that at least 1,500, 600 of
the 2,000,000 Populist votes cast for
Mr.. Bryan in 1896. will this year be
lost to him and cast for the Presiden-
tial candidate of the Peoples party.
That the Democratic leaders know this
fact is made clear by the course of
Hill, Pattison, German and their asso-
ciates.
THE Democrats will probably give
the nomination to some n else, and
thus invite the gold Democrats back
into the. fold"
Mr.. Barker secuted the idea of a
strong opposition to President Nc
Kinley at the Republican convention
in this city. He asserted that the
Presidents friends control the machin-
cry of the party and that he would be
renominated.
Mr.. Barker says he thinks the Pop
ulists have a fighting chance to win
the Presidential fight. With Mckinley
and Bryan and Barker as candidates
he believes the former will win, but
with Bryan not in the race, McKin-
ley's prospects would be less bright. Il
think" said Mr.. Barker, Bryan is the
man the Republicans would like nom
mated"

THE PoLIcY OF uNrAIRnEss.

Hon. John A. Campbell, of Hancock,
and his friends may as well. realize
first as last that nothing in the nature
of fair, or even decent, treatment is to
be expected from Congressman Dow
ener and his hackers. The Braxton
county convention at Sutton. Satur-
day. is a case in point, but only n
of many. At this gathering Judge
Campbell was even denied permission
to make an address, although Mr..
Dovener appears to have been given
every opportunity to free his mind.
The logical and proper result was an
other convention by indignant Repnb-
licans and the election of a Campbell
delegation. The end will be a con-
test. Judge Campbell got decidedly
the worst of it in Gilmer. and now
comes Braxton. The Dovener men
are playing a high-handed game, but
in the end they will lose. Fair play
is a jewel.

At Waco, Texas, Was Materially In

AT waco, TeXas, was materially I'M
proved Yesterday.
WACO, Tex, April 29.-rhe flood
situation to-day is very much i'm
proved, the destitute and suffering be-
ing nearly all provided with wearing
apparel and food. The citizens, espec-
tally the business men, gave out large
quantities of clothing and food, which
ameliorated the suffering to a great
extent. The principal difficulty the
committee of organized charity, which
has the distribution of supplies in
charge, Is meeting with is a place to
house the homeless. Many houses
contain several families, while many
persons are living in tents, fearing the
predicted overflow of the Brazos.
The prospects of the Brazos not
overlooking are exceedingly bright, as
the river has been steadily falling since
yesterday and is nov only ten feet
above the low water mark.
The crop situation in the bottoms is
considerably worse, and many crops
will have to be replanted, thus throw
ing the cotton crop, which is already
late, back about six weeks.

THE NET

The total vote cast at Saturdays
primary election-a c~oncededly hot
fght-was sos for Sheriff. Four
years ago it was 6,351 for the same
office, a decrease in four years of SAB.
The Republican vote, in the natural
order OF things, should have increased
at the rate of at least 100 per year, or
from $3.50 to $3.50. AS a matter of
fact it has decreased at the rate of
about 100 per year, or $50 in four years.
Saturday, as four years ago, every
available. man vas sent to the polls.
The result is not particularly encour-
aging to the party.
Taylor's majority over Travis is $50.
Smith leads Anderson by 9S2, Israel has
1,1S0 more votes than Bowers, and
Nesbitt is ahead of Shuck to the extent
of 1868 votes, while Jansen, the "anti-
ring candidate, whose especial and
particular enemy, therefore, was the
Intelligencer, mustered but 200 votes
all told. This is the story Of the fight
in a few words.N

THE CANADIAN CALAMITY.

Accurate figures as to the loss by the
Ottawa fire are still lacking, and I'M
der the circumstances cannot be ex-
pected for a week or ten days to come,
and yet enough is known to place the
c~onlagration among the great fires in
America, and we'll up in front, too
The area burned over appears to have
exceeded that involved in the Chicago
fire of 1871, while the loss is less than
that of either Chicago, October 9Th to
10th, 1871, or Boston, November 9th
and 10th, 1872. The Chicago fire burn
ed owe 2,124 acres and the loss was
figured at $195, 00O, 900. The loss by the
Boston fire was estimated at 10000
600, and Ottawa and Hull thus come
third on the list of American fires, with
a loss of SIT, 000, 900 and $500 acres
burned over. The loss of but seven
lives is very moderate.
1t may be recalled that the loss in
the Chicago fire was the greatest in
SNOANN AlioCOly II PAoPClty Nv
stroyed in the burning of Moscow, in
1912, was but $3.50, O00, 900, the great
fire of London, in 1866, burned over but
436 acres, and the loss was $13, 500, 900,
while the ruin wrought by the Com
mune in Paris, in 1871, anly amounted
to $780, 00, 900. Chicago's $195, 000, 900
thus leads the list in this especial field
of disaster. Hamburg hadsa $35,000,-
900 fire early in May, 1912, and New
York a SIS, 000, 900 blaze in December,
1885, and London n of $40, 600, 900 in
1861, the flames raging for a month,
from June 22d to July 22d, and again
in December, 1882, the worlds metrop-
oils suffered a loss of S., 900, 900. These
are some of the great CONGREGATIONS of
history. The Ottawa fire measures
well up on the standard of calamity.

we have known Mr.. Miller intimately for
a number Of years. and in him we have
known as true a man as ever lived. His
capacity is ~indisputable, his ability as a
lawyer acknowledges and as a leader
among men he has no equal in the section
from which he halls. 1t was more to the
credit of his work in '9S that the Congress
sional district in which he lives was re-
claimed and Judge Johnston elected to
Congress than to the efforts of any other
man in the district. He was then char
man Of the party and as such organized
the fight and won the victory.
His ability as an organizer should prompt
the party IN that State to confer upon
him the honor his friends seek to give
him. He is not actively fighting for the
nomination but we learn he will accept
nomination and make a fight for his party
if it be conferred upon him.
A large number Of counties in the south
ern portion of the State have instructed
for him and we hope to see him nominated.

A VOICE THAT'S SKILLED.

For a generation it has been the
fashion for Republican papers to de-
nounce the white population of the
Southern States for an alleged partial
disfranchisement of the negro voters.
Train loads of paper has been COW
cred with caustic criticism of this
state Of affairs, and an army of ora
tors freighted the palpitating
air with denunciations of those who
preferred a white mans government
to the rule of a hoard of embryonic
thinkers and immature voters.
Of late we have heard very little of
this criticism. The shoe is on the
other foot. Republicans, after thirty
years of violent protest, have at last
acknowledged and adopted the princi-
pie of race discrimination, and it no
longer lies in their mouths to cast
stones at the. people of the South. Ha-
wall, Porto Rico and the Philippines
have settled the question, and an Amer
lean citizen may now be t~wenty-one
years of age and yet be incapable of
casting a vote. AS the Philadelphia
Manufacturer we'll says:
THE bloody shirt and the niger vote
are phrases that awaken no respon in
the breasts of a generation which is grow
Ing up to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil
lppines. Talk about the Southern problem
and the negro problem, what, are they
CON pared with the Philippine problems?
African negroes are nothing to compare
with the wild men of Borneo."
There was never a more complete
change of base on the part of a polit-
lcal party. Taxation without repre-
sentation is now the Republican key
note. The South was right, after all.

A QUIET WEEK
Indicated In Congress by the Pro-
gramme Announced Yesterday.
Nothing In Sight to Indicate More
Than Routine Work In Either the
Upper or Lower HOuses-The Clark
Resolution May Go Over.

WASHINGTON, April $50 far as
can now be foreseen, the week will be
given up largely to the Alaskan code
bill and to appropriation bills in the
Senate. Senator Hawley, chairman of
the Committee on Military Affairs, has
given notice that he will call up the
and when this bill is disposed of it is
probable that the Notifications bill will
be taken up. There will be an effort
to secure a final disposition of the
Alaskan bill, but as there is almost as
much opposition to the Carter amend
ment as there was to the amendment
suggested by Senator Hansbrough, it is
impossible to say whether the effort
will succeed.
Senator Chandler on Wednesday will
ask consideration of the resolution in
the case of Senator Clark, of Montana,
but there will be a request for more
time to read the testimony, and the
cas- probably will go over for at least
several days more. On Thursday the
Senate will listen to ~eulogies on the
late Representative Baird, of Louisi-
ana.
The feature of the week in the
House will be the Nicaragua canal bill,
which will be considered Tuesday and
Wednesday. The elimination of the
section relative to the fertilization of
the canal removes the objections en-
tertained to it by the friends of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty, but because of
that very fact the resentment of some
of the Democrats has been aroused.
The bill, however, doubtless will have
a very large majority when it comes to
a. vote. Thursday will be given up to
the consideration of the Free Homes"
bill, and Friday to war claims. To-
morrow is District of Columbia day.
