He did not attempt to defend Block

supposed to simulate actual war.
Speaking of the probable desire OF the
navy to capture and destroy the signal
station at Point Judith, an officer OF
the signal corps said today: 81 do not
believe that the navy will capture our
balloon. I have enough confidence IN
the dare devil spirit ofour young officers
TO believe that if the balloon is in danger
of capture they will get in it and cut
loose taking their chances OF saving the
balloon. We have autOmobiles at Point
Judith and men with all the signal corps
equipment should make good their es-
cape in ample time.

II. VAN TINE, of Pittsburg, in a hear
ing in Chicago before commissioner ot
the United States Court a day or two
ago. testified that for three minutes con-
sultation with J. Pierpont Morgan over
a telephone a Chicago broker admitted
that he paid President DelaGeld, OF the
Park National Bank, New York, SPA, 40.
1t was said that the broker had to pay a
clerk in Morgan's Office $500 for letting
him pass into the presence of the great or
Sanizer, and that another time he paid
President Delafield 81, 900 to keep his
bank open three hours, so that check
could be certified. Such exposures show
how impotent ordinary business men OF
the world have become when they at
tempt to cope with commercial sharks
Of the present day when it costs for
tune to talk three minutes with 4 trust
magnate.

THE VERMONT ELECTION.

Montpelier, VT, Sept. 2.-This morn
ing was the beginning of the fiercest po-
litical battle ever fought in Vermont
State elections. Four candidates for
governor make most interesting puzzle.
General John G. Mccullough is the re-
publican candidate. Percival w. Glenn
ents, a republican bolter, takes tor his
issue high license and local option and
charges the republican machine with ex-
travagance Sam Small, of Atlanta, Ca,
was hired by Clements to ridicule prohi-
bition last week. He got gloriously
drunk at Brattleboro and his actions
probably cost Clements ten thousand
votes. Felix McGettrick, the demo-
cratic candidate, stands for the
retrenchment of State expenses and
high license. Rev. J. 0. Sherburne the
prohibition candidate, is assured OF
seven thousand votes. II is believed the
election will go to the legislature, as a
majority of all votes cast are necessary
for an election.
Barre, VT, Sept. AT noon large
vote had already been polled and indi-
cations are that Clements will carry the
city by 800 or more and probably the
CO unity rs well.

THF PRESIDENTS DEEP GAME.

A dispatch from Burlington, VT, says
President Roosevelt does not dread
the opposition of the trusts in the next
campaign. He is confident that he will
have their support in spite of the fact
that he is advocating more stringent laws
for their control.
"What lido fear" he is reported to have
remarked to friend recently, sis the
revolutionary tendencies of the men who
demand the suppression of the combina-
tons of capital"
"The President is sure of the support
of the big men of capital throughout the
country" said a man very close to the
Chief Magistrate. Heknows that they
will support him rather than the cand'-
date on the other side of the political
fence. They can't help the democrats.
That would be suicidal.
"The President believes that the men
behind the trusts will thank him when
they realize exactly what his stand is.
He is like the physician who prescribes
DIlNSlc Ill lllDC. II u DttiNi W httNN
medicine now than to be obliged to sub
nit to a surgical operation later on.
That's exactly what will happen to the
trusts if they are not regulated by law in
the near future.
"Thc men who are demanding the
abolition of the trusts instead of their
regulation, may think that they are with
the President, but they are not. As he
said at Nashua, on Thursday, he hopes
to see capitalistic combinations regu-
lated, but warns his countrymen against
action that will prove suicidal to the
prosperity that we now enjoy. Any
move that will kill off the trusts will
kill off the capital that makes the wheels
of progress go round"
Looking at it from this standpoint,
the Presidents friends believe he is
playing a deep game of politics in his
antitrust crusade. He is pleasing the
antitrust crowd and at the same time
will not eliminate from his followers the
men of money.

JUDGING from the statement sent out
from Burlington, VT, concerning the
Presidents position relating to trusts
it is evident that Mr.. Roosevelt is run
ming with the hares and hunting with
the hounds. In nutshell Mr.. Roosc-
welt wants to be renominated and from
now on will be all things to all men.
He takes up the just and popular cry
against the monopoliIng trusts but is
afraid of their money and power and it
will be seen that he will do nothing to
offend them.

TUESDAY EVENING, SEPT. ,. 1862

THE DEFEAT of former Governor Jo@
Johnston at the election in Alabama Oh
August % was very decided. Prior to
that election Mr.. Johnston and his
friends claimed a majority OF forty
thousand in the State primary election
The result discloses the fact, and it mus
be notifying to him and severe blow
at his pride, that in the whole State ne
could muster majority in only two
counties. The Gazette has more IMAM
once referred to the rise and tall O.
demagogues. Recently We called atten-
tion To and tried to emphasize the lac'
that the new Virginia constitution DIS
franchised no man. The imposition
of a poll was a reminder that every mai
who prided himself on being good
citizen should contribute his mite for the
support of State and city. The BIZ
mingham Ledger refers to recent event
in this way;

The result in Alabama proves, II ad-
ditional proof is necessary that the
people cannot be fooled To preach the
doctrine tndb SOulV PVi'N''I 'f''

well says, and it is as pregnant with
truth in Virginia as in Alabama, thai

Those men who failed to pay their pol
tax have no complaint. 1t is the only
tax some men owe the State, and if they
will not pay that much, knowing 1t l.

sympathy of their neighbors." How
many men will suffer self disiranchise-
ment in Virginia, placing the dollar
above the man? Time will tell. Men
should study this question. 1t is de-
serving of thought

TARIFF RETURNS on PHILIPPINE

TARIFF RETURNS ON PHILIPPINE
GooDs. Surprising results have fol-
lowed the compilation of tariff returns
on goods imported from the Philippine
Island during the first five months of the
operation of the Philippine tariff act, APP
proved March last. Under that act 10
per cent, of the Dingley rates were to be
collected on PHILIPPINE imports into the
United States, and this was to be held
as a trust fund in the United State Treas
ury. Although when the act was passed
it was realized that the imposition ofany
duties of this kind would be restrictive
of trade, it was argued that as the returns
would be somewhere in the neighborhood
of $500, 600 per annum, that consider'-
ton would outweigh the drawbacks On
maintaining a tariff system against the
Philippines. The returns just published
in the Treasury show that the total
receipts for the five months of March
April, May, June, and July were but
Sl1,194, a sum so small, in the opinion
of the officials. as to scarcely meet the
cost OF collection. Moreover, the returns
by months do not show any increase,
but rather decrease, in the collections.
