JACK KETcH's ARCHITECT.
Death of the Man Who Built GaIlows
for Thirty Years.

From the Philadelphia North American.
Captain Isreal Riding died at Neweas-
tie, Del, recently and the state loses in
his death one of its most interesting char
acters During the last thirty years he
has built every seaffold used for hang
ings, and he has always adjusted the
moose and black cap about the face and
neck of the convicted murderers.
1t is not easy to compute the number of
hangngs at which Captain Riding was
present but they were many He was
one of the most affable men in the state.
even If the proposition does seem a trifie
homogeneous. He had few eecentricities,
one of them being to take the rope to be
used at the hanging and soak 1t in the
Delaware river all through the night
preceding the hanging. He often de-
clared he did this that ne might take
the stretch" out of the rope and give
to the condemned man an ''easier" DEATH
If deaths by hanging are at any time
easy.
At the time of the wholesale delivery
here several years ago, when the famous
big Frank escaped with several COM
rades, Captain Riding was night warden
at the Jail. He was discovered In the
morning sitting in his chair in his office,
bound and gagged, but happy. His death
was sudden Two sons and one daughter
survive him. They live in Philadelphia.
Captain Riding leaves an estate worth

Chief Issue of 1904.
rated

As one democratic convention after
another is held it is seen that impe-
rialism is not the chief issue, nor the
money question of two years ago. nor
the election of senator's by the people,
nor any other like question which
can wait, but that the one absorbing
issue is to be the tariff, and the trusts
it has created and fosters. The peo-
pie are fully ready for the issue.
They see the trusts absorbing the
home consumers up to the tariff limit,
while selling to foreign buyers like
goods at a less price but at a reason
able profit. They see a range of
prices established against them by
FOG tariff-protected trusts that varies
in extent from 261 per cent in wire
rope down to 20 per cent in powder.
Twenty per cent is the maximum ex-
tortion of the tartff-maGe trust. These
''infant" ndustries-infants as COM
bines indeed-haye worked the home
consumer until they have advanced
the cost of living in this country 40
per cent. These are facts of record,
every item of which can be fully prov
en- and established. and the public
mind begins to grasp a situation that
the cry of prosperity cannot longer
conceal. The prosperity is for the
few at the expense of the many.
The entire campaign of 1904 will
turn upon the Dingley tariff, for re-
peal of its unnecessary and outworn
provisions would at once bring the
home and the export prices of the
trusts to parity, thus relieving the
people of vast load of unjust and in
iquitous taxation. And yet there are
some who think the south can be con-
verified to Dingleyism-to a system
that has one price, low one, for the
foreigner, and another price, from 20
to 200 per cent higher, FOR the home
consumer. Such men underrate the
intelligence and common sense of
southern democrats.

THE IOWA IDEA.

From the Kansas City World.
The Iowa tariff trust idea is rapidly
spreading.
The platform of both the political par
ties of the Hawl1eye state demand that
where the tariff shelters trusts it must
be abrogated.
The republican party being the domin-
ant party in congress, unusual signifi-
canoe is attached to the declarations of
that party in Iowa, especially when it is
understood that the platform was adopt
ed in the teeth of the opposition of the
majority of the congressman from Iowa
and that it represents the overwhelming
sentiment of the people.
respondent, than whom none is more
competent to diagnose political condi-
tions. says the President is becoming
alarmed over the growth of the Iowa
idea.
President Roosevelt has just had a con-
ference with the senate leaders as to
whether in his Forthcoming tour he shall
encourage in his speeches the revision Of
monopoly -sheltering duties.
Why not?
The President has been one of the most
insistent advocates of trust control and
regulation.
What better plan than to take the
tariff from trust-made goods?
The Presidents publicity idea is good
but not good enough. His idea of a con-

ing things much harsher, with few
adjectives added. All entreaties having

speaker back in the race. Persuation
has been turned into abuse, and for po-
litieal purposes 1t is being said that the
speaker in his letter of declination did
not give the actual reasons influencing
him. In the meantime Chairman Bah
cock had found 1t necessary to give out
another interview. showing that there is
no relation between the tariff and the 206
trusts protected by it.
Babeock is good party man, and,
having lost the fight for tariff revision
at the beginning of the last session of
congress, he is trying to make amends
for his tariff revision interviews, which
have done so much to influence the mid
die west republicans and bring about
present conditions. The republican par
ty managers are trying to obliterate the
traces of the damage Hendersons with
drawal has wrought. The edict has gone
forth not to talk about it, not to criticise
Henderson openly, and trust to the coun-

THAT HAYTIAN CAPTAIN.

From the Buffalo Express.
Rebel and semi-pirate though he was.
the Haytian Admiral Killiek seems to
have been somewhat of a black hero,
after all. The details of the destruc-
ton of the Crete-a-Pierrot gives to Kill
lick what little honor there was in the
affair He deliberately gave up his life
for his cause, and that is the highest sac
rifce any man can make for any cause,

gunboat as he could and then fired the
magazine, hoping that its destruction
would overwhelm his enemy also The
plan failed. The German drew away far
enough to escape injury, and then turned
its guns on the burning hulk of the Hay
tian vessel-a somewhat inglorius pro-
ceeding.
But there is good deal to be said In
behalf of captain who will blow up his
ship and himself rather than buy safety

COLLEGE TO TRAIN SPECTATORS

From the New York World
In connection with northwestern uni
versity a college of finance and COM
merce" is to be established. Its purpose
is said to be the training of young men
who wish to become bankers, brokers
and board room traders. The machinery
of instruction will include stock tick
ers" with daily quotations from Wall
street and the local produce exchanges,
and trading. carrying and commission
taking will be practically Illustrated.
Robert Louis Stevenson is an episode
in one of his south sea stories gave a
CHASTITY description of a business col
lege" In the middle west where boys
were taught to gamble with dummy
checks, drafts, stocks and the like. 1t
was perhaps an exaggeration, but if
this extension of the Evanston curri-
culum is not beied truth has now more
than caught up with fiction.
Every added opportunity ror education
in the practical affairs or life is to be
welcomed, but early knowledge of the
arts of stock gambling and cornering the
necessities of existence is neither edifying
to the Individual nor valuable TO the
community.

NOT COMPELLED TO EXPLAIN.

From the Philadelphia Times
David H. Lane says that every time
he hears of negotiations for fusion be-
tween the democrats and rebellious re-
publicans he is reminded of a pair of
upstate politicians, congressional candi-
dates from adjoining districts, who
agreed to help each other in the cam
paigning, although opposed in principles.
The arrangement had it that the republic
can should mingle with the crowd when
ever the democrat was to make an ad-
dress, and vice versa, and ask certain
questions that should provoke carefully
prepared replies of an eloquent nature
The democrat was on the platform one
evening, and began with the declaration:
II have been a democrat for fourteen
yearsr'
This was the others cue to inquire why
so that the Grating candidate might
launch forth fervently on the beauties
of his belief.
why are you a Democrat? Tell US
that" shouted the friendly republican.
Just then he was hit behind the ear by
a powerful fist and pulled roughly back
by a huge miner, who roared:
'I'l kill We If ye ever try ag'in to break
up a dimicrat whin he's sp'aSin'r"

THE New York Commercials Mostly
Personal column is one of the most in

it was not a bad likeness.

the progressive secretary treasurer of the

whose office is In Birmingham. Ala, but
who is known all over the country, espe-
cially where iron is dealt in. He is a self
made man. Thirteen years ago he was a

Seldom and he called upon him.

This offer was accepted, and Mr.
