Shifting the Blame.

The Chicago Tribune, referring to
the complaint against the beef trust
because of the advance in beef prices,
and also pointing out that the fail
ure OF the corn crop has something
to do with this increase, SAYS that if
blame must be attached to some
body Tor present high prices, Let it
be Providence, not thepackers, " The
republican organs have generally in
sisted upon credit being bestowed
upon the republic party for good
crops, 1t seems hardly fair for the
blame intthis particular case to be-
shifted five are to give the repub-
llcan party credit farthe good crops,
why not hol them responsible for
crop failures? The Tribune will, how
ever have difficulty in placing the
blame upon Providence for present
high prices Of beef so long as there
are any considerable number of peo-
pie having sufficient dscernment to
recognize the ennEmnns- pAMer and
influence of the beef trust The Com

Surrender Near BOgOta.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The State De-
partment has received a cablegram from
Minister Hart. at Bogota, Colombia, which
says that the revolutionary General Car
reazo, who has been operating with a
strong force on the great plains east Of
Bogota, has surrendered. This is regarded
as OF the utmost importance to the govern
ment authorities. who consider that it as
sures the pacifcation of the whole eastern
region. The Colombian government has also
announced the repulse by a government
war vessel of a revolutionary attack some
days ago upon the Magdalena river.
Senior Concha, the Colombian minister.
received a cablegram to-day. dated Sept
IL, and signed by President Marroquin,
Secretary of State Jaul and Secretary OF
War Fernandez, which stated that 5000
government troops, under the command OF
General Berdomo, had started down the
Magdalena river TO reinforce the govern
ment troops on the isthmus. The cable
gram also stated that 1900 additional
government troops were held in readiness
TO move to the isthmus and that the in
terror was quiet.

States cruiser Cincinnati arrived here to-
day from Haitien waters. The isthmian

LABOR LEADERS, PARTY
sEMI-POLITICAL MOVEMENT READY
FOR LAUNCHING AT CHICAGO.
Platform which Will BE Presented to
the Federation-Many Reforms
to BE Demanded.

CHICAGO, Sept. ia movement for en-
listing the hosts of workingmen through
out the United States into a semi-political
organization has been launched in this city,
says the Post. A platform said to embrace
the economical and political ideas OF labor
leaders and covering the whole labor situa-
ton has been prepared and will be pre-
sented first for approval next week before
Chicago Federation of Labor.
The platform demands the abolition Of
the so-called political machine. the estab-
lishment of government primaries. where
votes may be cast for nominees as citi-
gems and not as members of a machine"
and the initiative and referendum. 1t ia
vors the right Of recalling representatives
who are out of touch with voters. Relief
from the trusts is suggested in the plan for
1.-The passage of an amendment to the prac-
tice laws of every State and the federal
government under which litigants may
bring up, in any suit in which a corpora
ton is the plaintiff or defendant, the ques-
ton of its right to it's franchise. whether
it has usurped power not given 1t under
statute and whether ii has forfeited its
powers" This method, Ii Is urged, would
be productive of more good than the insti-
tuition of suits by federal district attor-
neyS. vigilance committees III every Stdlc
and large city are favored to see that the
laws are impartially administered. The
eight-hour day, sanitary conditions, living
wages. the repeal of the laws limiting the
Liabilities in personal injury suits, the sup
plying OF free textbooks to all children in
the lower grades of public schools and the
abolition OF convict labor in competition
with freemen are demanded. Limitation on
the injunction powers of judges Is asked
and the popular election of federal udges
and senator's is suggested. In all civil trials
majority verdicts are desired.
The plan favors the government instead
of banks issuing all kinds of money, and It
is suggested that private individuals be
driven from banking business. Laws are
demanded restricting the issue of capital
stock. bonds and securities to any greater
extent than the actual property owned BY
corporations. Public ownership of public
utilities is desired and state insurance and
provisions for old age are approved. Child
labor is decried and educational aids and
trade unionism to keep up wages are a.
proved.
In closing. the platform reads: I'm order
to bring about a state of harmony instead
of constant discord the workingman must
look for relief at the ballot box. Here,
where the will of the people is supreme.
the remedy lies at hand and must be taken
advantage of. Workingmen must undertake
TO govern, as we'll as toll, and in that way
they will get justice"

MILWAUKEE. Sept. 15.-President
Roosevelt was called upon by the Milwau-
kee Methodist Conference to-day to refute
the statement that he has asked the Vati-
can at Rome to create Archbishop Ireland
a cardinal. BY unanimous vote the con-
ference instructed Bishop Goodall to send
the following letter on the subject to the
President:
'Honored Sir: We see with pain i'm the
press dispatches a rumor that the Vatican
has received from President Roosevelt an
intimation that he would be personally
pleased to see that Archbishop Ireland is
created a cardinal as a reward for the
services he has rendered the church and the
state. We strongly doubt the correctness
of this rumor, for il does not seem posi-
ble that the President of the United States
could thus violate the spirit of the Consti-
tuition of the United States, which requires
the complete separation of the church and
state, and We nope to see ii authoritative
