TRADE OF ARGENTINE.
Editor Of Buenos Ayres Press Says the
q. s. Should Make Up.

New York, Oct. 1S.-E. p. Paz, editor
and part owner of La Prenza CThe
Press) of Buenos Ayres, Argentina, one
of the most influential newspapers IN
South America, who is in this country
to bring about better communication be-
tween the United States and South
America, makes the following observa-
lions concerning the objects concerning
his trip:
II leave for home on October % and
to save time / sail on the Kaiser Wilhelm
der Crosse to Cherbourg and take
steamer at the latter place for my nome
This occupies 81 days. Going direct from
New York requires rs days because of
the class of vessels engaged in the SER
vice.
1T seems to me a stupid thing to go
to South America by way of Europe,
when a line of first-class steamers could
make the direct trip, stopping at Rio
Janeiro, in from IL to Is days. Our
people are becoming greatly interested,
and while no aid is expected from the
Argentine government, there is general
belief that such a line of vessels Will
soon be put on and prove a paying IN
vestment. I intend to stro~gly advo-
cate better transportation facilities.
1.-THE Hamburg-American company
evidently sees great possibilities, and IS
running line of steamers from Europe
to our country and thence down the
coast to Patagonia.
1.-THE Lambert and Holt company, an
English corporation, owns a line run
ming between New York and the Argen-
tine republic, and has more business
than it can handle. Much of the BUSH
ness in the Argentine republic is con-
trolled by Germans, Englishmen and
Italians. but I am satisfied North Amer
lean capitalists could go to many
South American republics, especially
ours and profitably take over many re-
munerative concerns now controlled by
other countries"

SHEPARD STANDS PAT.
Tells Tammany Braves He Has
Nothing to Take Back.

New York, Oct. 1S-The Democratic
mass meeting at Tammany hall last
night brought together an immense
number of people. They damned
themselves into the hall and packed
Fourteenth street and adjacent thor
oughfares until the ESQ policemen de-
tailed to the meeting had their hands
full to prevent serious accidents from
the crush. The announced sDea kers IN
Tammany hall included the chairman
George B. Mcclellan, Edward NJ Shep-
ard Henry w. Unger, George NJ. van
Hosen, Amos J. Cummings, Henry Gold
fogle. Congressman William Sulzer and
Thomas f. Grady. Other local orators
talked to the outside crowd from four
stands which had been erected for the
purpose.
The speech of Mr.. Shepard, the can
didate for mayor, was the first he had
ever delivered in Tamn1any hall He
said in opening:
TT is well known to you, and 1t seems
to be chief part of the capital OF my
distinguished competitor, that / nave
from time to time. and more especially
four years ago, been hostile to Tam
many Hall. and criticised it without
stint 1 am not here to excuse or to
recede from anything that have said
If it were possible for me, as it is not,
to make any such excuse, 1 should,
whatever might be the increase OF your
liking for me, lose the respect oil the
voters of Tammany Hall, genuine
respect which will be of far more con-
sequence to me and the success or my
administration if / be chosen mayor,
than any liking I may gain in this cam
paign Whatever my political for
tunes may be this fall, you shall have
no occasion to withdraw from me the
confidence you have shown in my IN
tegrity and steadfastness of purpose by
reason of any abandonment-even the
slightest-of the standard of public con-
duct and political behavior which 1
have set up in the past"
Saying he had been charged with
making an implied promise If elected
not to disintegrate Tammany Hall, MIR.
Shepard continued:
''I know very well that II elected L
shall have no power to dis1ntegrdte
Tammany Hall. and 1 know perhaps
quite as well that if I were to have the
power it would be gross treason to the
cause of good government that l should
use it for SO factional a purpose. Ii
will not do. There are no doubt some
attractions about the mayoralty as

PROTECTING oUTLAWED
TRAFFIC.

Under the above caption the Wash
tngton Post discusses the supreme
court decision in the Bale Stark case
as follows:
Is an outlawed business entitled to
the laws protection? Can the man who
is engaged in such a business secure its
protection by an appeal to the courts
of justice2 The supreme court OF Kan
sas has just decided these questions in
the affirmative. In the case of the State
of Kansas versus Balfe Stark, that tri-
bunal has decided that the fine of S25
and costs. amounting in all to about
500. which was i'm posed Upon Stark as
a penalty for undertaking by violent
physical means to retire liquor saloon
from business, was legally imposed,
and that the defendant. who appealed
from the judgment of the lower court,
had no good ground of complaint.
It was purely a question of law that
was submitted to the courts, the facts
being admitted by both parties. The
contention of the defendant was that in
smashing saloon he had committed no
indictable OffenSe, because the sale of
liquor in Kansas is illegal and all IL
quor saloons in that state are declared
by statute to be public nuisances.
To the laity this plea would seem to
have much force. To- the non-profes-
siona1 mind the position of a state in
terposing with its extensive machinery
provided for enforcing the law, to pro-
tect a business that is under the laws
ban seems SON ewhat absurd. BY fail
Ing to enforce the anti-saloon laws and
by protecting the Illicit traffic from the
smashers the state of Kansas, in it's
official capacity, assun es the RESPONSE
bility for the existence of a business
which it declares shall not exist.
But the supreme court showed no re-
spect for the defendants contention. 1t
held that it is not competent and not
tolerable for a private person to take
the execution of the law into his own
hands; that the abatement of a nuts =
ance must be effected exclusively by
the proper authorities, and it must BE-
erected by due process of law; that
there must first be a judgment as TO
whether the alleged nuisance actually
exists, and after that has been determ-
med the business of abating it must be
conducted by those who have been le-
gally designated to discharge that duty
The Inevitable conclusion was that thu
act of the defendant was a malicious
&respass. and that the fine which form
