facture and commerce for which there
is much demand and in which there are

a menace to all competitive innovations

large trade by enactment, which in a
free market it shrinks from attempting.

If be not able at the moment to give
full and detailed reply to this compli-
Gated inquiry, and one which is ad-
mittedly ''most perplexing problem"
the fact of my inability in no wise mill
tates against the position taken in the
article from which his extract is made.
Neither the wisdom nor justice of
measure depends upon the ability or ig-
norance of it's advocates or opponents.
Otherwise the Golden Rule would be
Gods word in one community and the
devils edict in another. A tariff meas
ure is either just or unjust without
reference to your Readers" approval
or my condemnation, and regardless of
anybody's ability to devise better or
inflict worse.
The endeavor of my article was to
criticise and defeat a certain and we'll
defined measure known as a protective
tariff, designed professedly to aid in the
development of our infant industries,
and not to propose measures for the
maintenance and support Of the govern
ment. I acted upon the theory that
others than the proprietor of South
African mine might be able to point
out flaw in diamond, and that man
might condemn the architecture of
particular structure without being called
upon to build city after his own
plans.
The inquiry Of your Reader" if
legitimate and sincere, should have
been directed to congress, or to the
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee Of the house, whose Office and
duty it is to provide the revenues of
government, and, incidentally, to for
mulate measures for that purpose.
When the writer of this shall have been
elected to congress and made chairman
of that committee, he will have pleasure
in submitting his views and proposed
measures to his fellows, and through
them to the people at large. But until
then it would be as impertinent for him
to propose plans and measures, as it is
for your "Reader" to demand and COM
mand it.
At the same time it may not be
wholly amiss to suggest to this real OF
pretended seeker after knowledge, that
one way of making the burthen of tax
alton equal is to oppose measures which
tend to make them unequal. AS Secre-
tary Sherman once said, "the way to
resume is to resume" and so, the way
to make taxation equal is to prevent

"The output of the plant last year
was 74,SSO pounds of butter, all of
which was shipped to Chicago. The
creamery handled 1,S72,O00 pounds of
milk. The creamery is located in a
two-story frame structure and the owner
and his family live upstairs. The
boards in the floor are loose and dirty
water spurts between the cracks every
time person walks across the floor.
Escaping steam fills the room and
this, together with the smell Of stale
milk, makes the atmosphere almost un-

"The woodwork of the cream vat was

all the time and dirty water dripped in
to the vats.

The tank which exploded was one Cf a
number OF immense steel reservoirs which
was undergoing its periodical cleaning,
having been emptied of it's oil in the
morning. The tank was 20 feet deep and

Buffalo, ". Y, Sept. 26.-Sheriff Cald-
well and sixteen men left at 1906 with
CzolgOsz in a special car attached to the
rear of the second section of the $3.50
train en- the New York Central. The
train is due in Auburn at PIP tomor-

late may not reach there until later
Czolgosz was '.sneaked' out the back
entrance OF the Erie county Jail sur
rounded by the seventeen men and was
hustled into special car which had
backed down on the terrace tracks a
few rods in the rear of the Jail minute
before. The Jail was left at just $40
o'clock but a slow run was made to the
Union Station as the engine and car
were on the wrong track, which had
been cleared.
Sheriff Caldwell arranged for the de-
parture and his moves were kept so
secret and were SO cleverly managed
that no one but the guards, the railroad
officials and the newspaper men who
were on the watch knew that the as
sassin was being smuggled out of the
Jail. Sheriff Caldwell had given orders
to his most trustworthy deputies to APP

AGAINST THE TURKS
European Cabinets Are Con-
sidering Action.
So Says One Paris Newspaper While Another
Declares Thai Turks and British Are
Fighting.
lBy the Associated Press.l

Paris, Sept 26.-The Courier du Soirr
which is usually we'll informed, makes
the following sensational statement:

between Emperor Nicholas and President
Loubet, NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau, and NJ.
Delcasse during the Cars visit 10
France, is an exchange of views between
European Cabinets, now pending, with the
object of arriving at an understanding as
to action against Turkey.
"Germany's concurrence is assured, as
Emperor William has consented, but
Count Won Buelow has raised objection
to some of the details of the action pro-
posed, thus necessitating further re-
ference to the other governments before a
final decision can be reached.
The Patrie prints today sem
sational story to the effect that
a conflict has broken out between great
britain ard Turkey, saying that three
British war vessels have been ordered to
the Persian Gulf to suppress revolts at
Touet, in the Province of Bagdad, and
that the Turkish Government has dis
patched a strong detachment of troops
with instructions to oppose the landing of
the British forces. Russia, Germany and
France the paper also says, have agreed
to support Turkey.
Touet in the Patrie's statement is EVIL

the Bagdad Railroad. 1t is the only
port on the Persian Gulf having good
harbor.
Inquiries made in official quarters here
elected an emphatic denial that there
was any such agreement between Ger
many, Russia and France as is referred
to by the Patrie and no confirmation was
obtainable regarding the alleged alarm
ing situation, which is evidently built on
the fact that three British warships hap
pened to be at Koweyt and that 1T is
reported the British are encouraging

The Seaboard has abandoned the
through runs of passenger engines,
which were recently inaugurated.
Beginning yesterday passenger en-
gines were changed in Raleigh just as
before the recent plan was carried in
to effect. The order changing the runs
of engines as formerly was issued yes
terday morning.
When the change was first made an
order was issued requiring the engineers
to make the through runs. The engi-
neers protested and citizens of Raleigh
made q lively kick, because it affected
a number of engineers who have made
their homes in Raleigh. The result was
that delegation of business men went
to Norfolk for the purpose of having the
order modified. They were successful,
the order being changed SO as to ex-
clude engineers from it's operation.
At the time the engineers predicted
that the through runs would have to
be abandoned, because they said the long
run would result in too severe strain
on the engines. They cited the fact that
the Norfolk and Western had been
forced to abandon a similar attempt. A
railroad man said yesterday that the
through runs of engines was tried as
an experiment, that the plan had been
asccrtained to be unsuccessful and would
he abandoned.
Engines were run from Raleigh to
Richmond, Norfolk and Hamlet as be-
fore. The through runs were from
Richmond to Hamlet and Norfolk to
Hamlet change Of engineers being
made at this point. Engineers welcome
the revocation of the recent order, be-
cause it gives them regular engines and
does not necessitate their starting on a
run With an engine that has already had
long trip.
