THE TRUE REMEDY FOB THE BEEF TRUST,

The president realizes that something must be done
about the beef trust All of the democratic papers and
very many Of the republican papers have been cham
pioning the rights of the people and denouncng the
unconscionable and oppressive greed Of the giant
binaton The president realizes that the people
thoroughly aroused. They do not need to read the
newspapers feel the wrong At the markets and at
the hotels, boarding houses and restaurants all over
the country the hatdhsted trust eXacts toll and the
lighter purses of the citizens who can pay and the
lighter market baskets of those who not attest
the work of the ntoerabe tyranny which has excited
people to degree that has not been seen in this
country for very many years. The president realizes
that the congressional elections will be held in the fall
and that the people may vote the democratic ticket
then and again in 1904, when the presidential election
is to be held for which he has been strenuousy plan
ming since he indicted into office. Therefore
something must be done.
The president instructs the attorney general to act
The attorney general takes time to consider according
to the immemoria custom Of the laws delay, and then
nstructs the district attorney Chicago to draw bill
in equity for an injunction.
How effective this remedy will prove remains to
be 1t is apt to take time much time. There is
way If the president is in earnest, to shackle the
cunning of the beef trust at and without delay.
Let him send for the republican leaders of the house
and the senate this evening and have them to
push this bill-it be passed in any morning hour
through both houses BE it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United States, in
gress assembled that from and after the 49, day of
May 1902 all duties cattle sheep and hogs, and on
beef. mutton and pork be and are hereby repealed
There is doubt that this remedy would prove in
simultaneously effective If the trust subjected to
foreign competition it would have to lower its prices,
The trust sells American beef in England cheaper than
it sells it to us at home The tariff is what enables it
to charge what it pleases and demand its present
| extortonate prices.
OF course such bill would make breach in the
nigh tariff wall of protection in which the republicans
take such delight and pride. But breach has been
made in that wall by the vote of both houses for the
sake of the Cubans. Can not another breach be made
for the sake Of Americans?

Negro Assau1ter Taken From Omcers
and Hanged.

AGSES IASSA OUHCCE8
and Hanged.
SULLIVAN, Ind, Nov. 21.-James
Moore, the Kentucky negro who crimi-
nally assaulted Mrs. Mary Davis Of
Sullivan county and Mrs. John Lemon
of Knox county on Tuesday last, was
hanged to telegraph pole one mile
east of John Lemons farm at 8 o'clock
last night by mob.
Moore was captured at Lawrence
vile, Ill, late in the day after battle
with the town marshal, during which
the negro. was shot three times and se-
verely wounded. He was then taken to
Robinson, ILL.,, for safe keeping. The
negro was brought to Sullivan in a
wagon by the sheriff and his deputies
for further Identification. A mob of
forty or fifty farmers heavily armed
took the prisoner from the officers. The
negro was taken to the homes of both
his victims and by them was identified.
From the home of Mrs. Lemon, ten
miles east of here, the crowd started
back to Sullivan with the prisoner, but
one mile east of the Lemon farm a rope
was thrown over the arm of a tele-
graph pole, and the negro was hung.
The governor had ordered out the
Vincennes militia company to protect
the negro, but his instructions were re-
ceiyed too Iate n
After hanging the negro the mob
quietly dispersed. 1t was composed
mostly of farmers, but was largely
augmented by citizens Of Sullivan, Oak
town and other towns of this county.
