BATTLE WITH THUGS.
Two Chicago PatrOlmen Killed in 81
Fierce Revolver Fight.

Chicago, August 30. T. Divine and
Charles T. Pencil, patrolmen of the
Chicago department were killed here
early today in a revolver battle with
what is supposed to have been a gang
of thugs. Much mystery surrounds the
shooting for both men died before an
accurate account of the tragedy could
be obtained.
The fight occurred just before dawn
near Jackson boulevard and Ashland
avenue in the aristocratic section of
the WestSide. The fusllade of shots
aroused the entire neignborhood. Citi-

groans rushed to their assistance and
saw men running away. officer Pen

HANNA'S LITTLE JOKE.

Senator Hanna declares he was only
Joking hen he said he liked to work
of the civic federation so we'll that he
Thought he would give up the senate
for it. The senator no doubt thinks
that he will be perfectly able to hold
down the senate job and do a good deal
towards harmonizing labor and capital,
at the same time."-Savannah News.
The senator from Ohio made a terri
BILE slip up when he got off tina little
joke. If the senator does not mind he
will go too far in passing as the friend
of the laboring men in the camp of their
enemies, and the coal barons'' and
multi-millionaire labor employers may,
after a while, begin to believe him to be
sincere in his protestations. Then the
Ohio senator may say good bye to all
prospects of succeeding President
Roosevelt, and his chances may be
slim ven of holding his W with the
Legislature of his state when the time
comes for electing a senator at the eX-
'piration of his present term. We are
not a great adnirer of Senator Hanna,
but have considered him one of the
most astute politicians and brainiest
business men of the country, and it was
rather staggering to read that he mad
made such an announcement, and it is
still surprising that he should admit
having joked about such a matter.
Were it possible for Senator Hanna to
keep in touch with the combines and
trusts and still successfully champion
the cause of labor he would win ever
lasting renown; but we fear were he to
attempt it he would suffer the fate of
the boy who attempted to sit on two
stools at the same time.

FRIDAY, AUGUST Is. 1902.
PROTECTIVE TARIFF DOOMED.

The signs of the times Indicate that
our present high protective tariff Is
doomed. The republicans see the
handwriting on the wall and they are
aware Of it's meaning. 1t says to the
republican party: You must abandon
your long cherished principle of high
protective tariff, inaugurated and
maintained for the enrichment of the
few at the expense of the many or you
must surrender the reigns of govern
ment TO your political opponents.
There has started UP in the republic
can party among the thinking and far
seeing men IN undercurrent against
this iniquitous system of government
which will develop into a mighty wave
of public sentiment that will swamp
that party unless it gives heed TO the
demands of the people.
Several events have occurred of late
which mark the progress and ~increas-
ing force of this popular sentiment.
First is the resolution of the Iowa
republican state c%nventIon declaring in
favor of the reduction Of the tariff on
articles Of which like kinds are pro-
duced by trusts IN this country. Then
comes the announcement that Cornelius
n Bliss, a member of the cabinet dur
ing President McKinIey's first admin
~istratlon, and fifty other prominent re-
public-ns have Withdrawn from the
REPUBLICAN Tariff League of New York.
-ASdlEE Snch a StlI y-aT f TanrrbIiann
organ IS the Washington Star declares
that: After protection has accom-
plished IS purpose it operates against
the general good" The ubl
leaders IRE not willing TO admit Just
yet that protection fosters monopolie
and works against the public good.
The question in the near future will
be whether those republicans. who for
the sake Of keeping their party in
power, can induce or force their lead
ers, the friends Of monopolistic trusts.
70 agree to h reduction of the tariff
or neither victory by the democrats
on tie tariff issue shall place this re-
form in the latter's hands.
IL would not surprise us were we 20
hear republican candidates for congress
on the stump this fall advocating tariff
revision and advocating the reduction
of duties CT trust made goods. The
people ave become awakened to the
enormities of the protection and the
vast power it gives the combinations
of capital, n they are becoming more
in earnest every day in their demands
for relief. When they find they cannot
get it through the republican party thev
will surely turn to the democrats and
place them in power. The party in
power is bound to go down unless it
can convince the people that it will
give them the relief demanded and
which the democratic party is pledged
to give on accession to power. The
tariff with the resulting evils of trusts,
combines and monopolies, is going to
be made the leading issue in this and
the next campaign by the people,
whether the leaders desire it or not,
and the people will win in the great
fight against the high tariff advocates.
