COL. CAMPBELL OUT
OF TEXAS CONTEST
Machine Managers in aeon
spiracy With Trusts.
ISSUES ADDRESS TO VOTERS

DALLAS. Texas. Jan. 26-Col. Thomas
from the race for the Democratic nomina-
tion for Governor.
Colonel Campbell gives as his reason
| that the machine managers of the Demo-
cratic party. dominated by corporate
power and trust influence, have formed
a conspiracy to keep control Of the
State government by rushing the party
primaries in midwinter. in order to stifle
discussion of State issues, expose Admin
istration business, and to ensure the
election of a Legislature that will not an
tagonize the machine or its beneiciaries.
A Drastic Arraignment.
Colonel Campbell's address to the
voters of the party is a drastic arraign-
ment of the Democratic party of the State
as now controlled. Colonel Campbell is
native born Texan, a lifelong Demo-
crat. champion of Bryan and free sill
yer. He. in the Presidential campaign OF
1895. as general manager of the Interna-
tional and Great Northern Railroad ID
Gould Texas property refused to leave
the stump for Bryan and free silver at the
request of George Gould and his associ-
ates, declaring that he would sooner lose
the position, with its salary Of 81, 900 a
year.
Disaster Logical Result.
Shortly after Bryan's defep- Colonel
Campbell was removed by order of the
Gould management in New York. In his
address today he declares If the Demo-
cratic party management continues as at
present. and for years past. disaster is
sure to be the logical result One of his
statements is:
Our Legislatures are being dominated
by corporate interests. Trusts are -four
ishing in our midst, while the farmer is
mortgaging and the workingman is strug-
Cling for the right to exist. The platform
demands are disregarded an the integ-
rity of the Democratic party fartered for
free passes and theatre tickets
Indignation Aroused.
Colonel Campbell's withdrawal has
aroused keen Indignation among his sup
porters. particularly among the free sill
yer. antitrust, and pro- Bryan elements,
at the manipulators Of the midwinter
primaries.
Representative Lanilam is now the only
candidate Of any appreciable strength be-
fore the people for the nomination for
Governor. but the outlook is one of Sc
rious trouble within the Democratic ranks
before the State convention Is held.

ing a reduction of the army by 5000
men within year, which would undoubt-
edly be the minimum strength of the
American forces.
The residents of Manila, however, are
naturally influenced by the prolonged in
surrection. and mistrust the course of the
provinces.
They do not see. and therefore do not
appreciate, the gradual increase in the
efficiency of the provincial constabulary,
which now numbers 5000 men. and which
is steadily relieving the army of a large
amount of work
The municipal police are also perform
ing most useful work, and the 900 native
troops who are now in the field are daily
becoming more perfect in their duties un-
der American instruction. Furthermore.
many of the natives fail to appreciate the
Improvement IN the conditions other than
military
Trade is growing. and as a consequence
money is more plentiful, Popular self
government here is working advantage
ously, and the ladrones are being rapidly
destroyed. The entire province CT Bataan
has been peacefully controlled for months
without single soldier. and General Bell
has achieved great success in the prov
ince of Batangas.
Captains Allan and Baker. of the Reg
ular Army. who are acting as chiefs of
the constabulary, are recognized as be-
longing to the ablest type of officers.
Many regular officers are acting as gov
ernors of provinces. and they concur in
Governor Taft's statements.

MASKED MEN ATTEND
MIDNIGHT FUNERAL
Friends Follow Body Of
Smallpox Victim to Grave.
DEVOTION AT DREADFUL RISK

BINGHAMToN, n. Y, Jan. 26.-Twc
hundred men with faces masked followed
! the body of Richard Barber to the GENE
terry at Hallstead, Pa. The burial took
place after midnight, and not a word
was spoken by the weird throng gathered
about the grave.
Barber, who was q popular politician
died from smallpox and a funeral was
of course, forbidden, but his friends COW
cred their faces with masks to prevent
recognition and subsequent quarantine
of their homes.
Followed Coffin silently.
When the coffin was brought out of the
house they followed it to the cemetery.
and then as silently disappeared.
Before Barber died he craved the Of
fees of his church, and the Rev. James
Pagan, pastor of the Hallstead Catholic
Church, went Immediately to the house
and anointed the dying man and admin
istered the sacraments. Going back to
the rectory he changed his clothes, took
a bath and then awaited the results OF his
devotion to duty.
Has Closed Church.
He has closed his church, and does not
mingle with his people, confning himself
to his rectory and receiving no callers.
He goes nowhere except among those
afflicted with the smallpox.

work already done on the route has beer
estimated by the Isthmian Canal Commits
sion at $40, 600 200. Add to this $40 900,
! 600 for the purchase of the Panama Rail
road. and another $4,000, 600 for the ex-
| listing plant on the line of the canal. This
purchase would include the habitations
of the workmen hospitals. and other nee
essaTy buildings. machinery of various
descriptions tmuch of it in good and de-
sirable condition., and other assets. The
creditors of the old companies would
doubtless be satisfied with some such Of
fer as this. and the work OF completion
could be continued under most favorable
auspices and with the good will of all
concerned.
Must BE at Sea Level.
Even should the United States expend
from SAC, 100000 to 100000 900 in con-
structing series of tedious water lifts
from either ocean to the level of Lake
Nicaragua. curbing the fierce floods of the
Chagres River. and escaping demolition
by earthquakes, II is still my firm convic-
tion that the sea-level cut will eventually
be made at Panama. II seems to me not
only entirely unworthy of American en-
terprise, but rank financial folly to sink
SO many millions of dollars in any 18TH
mian canal which will not for all time ad-
NIT and afford easy and safe transit to
our heaviest war vessels and the largest
steamships afloat now and hereafter. Our
own commission agrees that a sea-level
canal is possible, but in umidity has not
ventured Sc far as to recommend that
plan.
In my opinicn the United States now
possesses all the engineering skill and
ability, as well as the necessary money
to cut at once a deep and wide sea-level
canal at Panama instead of pottering
over locks and paltering with the finan-
cial and mechanical problems. Given such
a short cut from ocean to ocean, at tide
level, as we can have at Panama, there
can be no doubt that such free canal
would be paying investment. But even
if the annual dividends were small the
now historic voyage of the battleship
Oregon from San Francisco around the
Horn to the Bay of Santiago ought 10
convince even the most skeptical among
us that the deep ditch at Panama would
practically double the efficiency of our
naval forces and strength.
Not an Unreasonable Price.
1.-The $40, 900, 900 demanded by the Pan
anna Canal Company for its rights and
plant does not seem an unreasonable
figure to anyone conversant with the
question, its physical difficulties or
progress. The French people subscribed
s24O. .00O, 900 for the Panama route and en-
terprise, and by accepting the canal com
pany's offer we win the experience o.
$500, ,00O. 900.
"Of course. am aware that gigantic
forces in Washington and elsewhere are
now arrayed against the interoceanic
project in all of its bearings. Powerful
transportation interests are naturally
but ignorantly hostile to the cutting of
a waterway through the isthmus, either in
Nicaragua or at Panama"

PALMA ON SUGAR TARIFF.
Says Concessions Should Reach Fifty
Per Cent of Present Duties.

CENTRAL VALLEY. y. Y, Jan 26.-T
| Estrada Palma, President-elect of Cuba
gave out last night his views on the ques-
tlor of tariff concessions by the United
States for Cuban products The general
has been watching closely every move
that is made in Washington that bears on
the subject. On the action that Congress
will take, General Palma believes, depends
the entire future happiness and prosperity
of the island. No other Cuban is more
directly interested in the disposition OF
the question. for on the first chief execu-
tive will devolye much of the responsible
ity for successful free government. and
without the desired tariff concessions on
tobacco and sugar he fears the latter Will
never be a success. General Palma said
yesterday:
"The prosperity of Cuba depends to a
great extent upon the attitude of the
United States toward the now forming Re
public The full moral obligation OF this
when the United States has opened the
only market that is possible TO Cuban
products. We must have this market.
Unless we receive a reasonable reduc-
tion on sugar and tobacco. prosperity will
be an impossibility. If this is denied, it
will be the ruination of the country 1t
is impossible to improve the bad condi-
tion of our principal staple, sugar, by re-
ducing the American duty one-third. In
that way the problem will not be solved
at all The clamOr for further reduction
Will continue. The producer, unreleased
ha pl1 ry.a ggiI
confront him now. would be unable to
operate his mills for lack of money or
credit to meet the expenses. Some figures
viii clearly explain that the reduction OF
e-third Of the actual duties is not suf-
iicient to place our sugar on the footing
needed TO give the growers some benefit
Under the present scarcity of labor. in
creased taxes and scantier yield from
neglected and impoverished fields, the ay-
erage cost of production may be reckoned
as not less than 1926 hundred pounds"
Then General Palma went TO his desk
and compiled the following table to sub
stantiate his argument:
Cost production per 100 pounds. 50 -
transportation from inland mill to sclboatd
including railway freight, Wharfage, etc. 20
Freight, Cuba to New York, and marine in
.surance, ] per cest I. b., and land
ing charges in New York. etc............. 30
Duty, two-thirds OF l.GSJ cents. l2
Total expenses. ..........................S3 81
Gross market value in New YOTk.......... 10
Net loss per 100 pounds (probably morc).. I2
Continuing he said:
Therefore, II is absolutely necessary
that the concessions should reach 80 per
cent OF the actual duties. so as to give
the producer reasonable gain. The ques-
tion OF reduction for Cuban products is
certainly one of the most important prob
lens that the United States has to deal
with, and much depends on its solution"

Hogg is about to yield to the solicitations
of his political admirers and enter the

The report is given credence here. not
withstanding Mr.. Hogg's recently pub

FEAR OF A HORSE FAMINE.
Shipments to South Africa Depleted

BUTTE. Mon. Jan. pa conservative
estimate of the horses shipped from Mon
tana last year places the number at 100.-
900. The British call for mounts for
South Africa has resulted in thousands of
head of stock leaving the State.
The result is that there are now fewer
horses in this State than ever before.
Indeed. there are no large herds. and un-
less there is a movement of horses to
Montana from the South there is certain
to be a horse famine in this State next
