CHAPTER 1I.-(Continued.)


A young girl was caught by the belt
on one of the fy-whccls. In passing, the
wind drew an end of the light shawl she
wore under the belt The great wheel
was revolving slowly, but all too swiftly
for human eye or human hand to avert
the horrible fate that threatened her.
As she realized her danger, she turned
involuntarily to wrench the shawl from
beneath the belt. Unconsciously she com
pleted the action that seemed to be her
last; the moment shes turned. the other
end of the shawl was caught up. She
averted her face In horror. The huge
wheel rcmorsclcssly lifted her up; she
felt herself hurled through the air in
the loop formed by the shawl; her ago.
nized face was turned to the horror
stricken workmen as she uttered shrek.
The shrek pierced Atherton's heart and
brain. The face that was turned toward
him was that Of his own daughter.
The fathers cry was the wall Of de-
spair. lie forcsaw a horrible death for
his only child. The distance between
them was 80 great he was powcrlcss to
save her. The great wheel would carry
her around, drop her into the pit half
way, catch her by her limbs, whrl her
gushing the first grip, would crush her
to death. II she should DO so fortunate
as to drop into the bottom of the pit. the
chances were she would never be brought
out alive.
The workmen shouted wildly. running
to the hy.wheel, and waving their hands
TO the engineer. Anterior never knew
how he passed the rOlls--whcther he leap
ed the intervening rolls in motion between
him and the wheel. or clambered over the
inert rolls a little below the wheel--he
only knew he was rushing headlong, mad
~. to his daughters aid. Others were
almost rs fleet footed; none were near
enough to save her-shc was doomed to
certain death-when suddenly a figure
darted with lightning rapidity from the
shadow Of pile Of Iron beside the
shears, and In a flash Of time, seemingly,
was beside the hy.wheel.
But before the figure came In view,
many Of the ironworkers had turned their
faces aside In horror.

as their party was a sinking sun
they should come and join the demo
ocrats.
w. 81. II. Pepperill was made tenn
porary secretary and Col. II. G.
Toler sergeant-at-arms.
f. F. Weilep, of Cherokee county,
moved that the convention adjourn
to meet at Topeka June "a with the
populists, but he was ruled out of
order.
Ex-Gov. Click, who will be IS years
old July 4, next, was made permanent
chairman of the convention.
Congressman A. M. Jackson moved
that the convention proceed to nom
mate such officers as will be the
fair and equitable proportion to
which the democratic party shall be
entitled at the approaching election"
and that the state committe be en-
powered to meet with the populist
state convention at Topeka June "a
and assure that convention if it
will nominate the men for the office
made vacant by the convention, that
the committee will nominate the
men for offices which the populists
may suggest for the vacancies so
left by this convention"
David Overmeyer opposed the adop-
ton of the resolution and moved
that the convention postpone acting
until tomorrow. By a vote of 500
to 1876 Judge Jackson's motion was
carried.
Mr.. Overmyer then announced his
withdrawal from the race for gov
ernor.
A committee was appointed to re-
port a fair division of the ticket be-

the beef trust, the retail butchers and
meat dealers, are utterly, one and all,
at the mercy of the beef trust. Cattle
men can sell only to the beef trust,
competition being absolutely destroyed.
Retail butchers and meat dealers can
buy only from the beef trust, compe-
tition being absolutely destroyed. The
consuming public can buy only from
the retail butcher and meat dealers,
paying the exorbitant prices made
necessary by the greed of the beef
trust. There is no appeal from the
prices set by the beef trust, owing to
its unbroken monopoly in the buying
and selling of meats.
This teaching of the inevitable oper-
alton of the trust idea, conveyed to the
American people by the action Of a.
combine controlling the most impor-
tant of food materials, has sunk deep
ly into American minds. Every house
hold in this country is aroused to pro-
test against the rapacity Of the beef
trust. Public sentiment is awakened
as never before to the necessity of
trust restriction. The reports of the
situation published in the daily press
are in themselves an overwhelming
Indictment of the trust system. The
truth of the situation is a campaign
document of incalculabfe value as tend
ing to bring correction of the trust
evil. The democratic party is the po-
litical organization to which the peo-
pie turn for aggressive action against
the trusts. The plainest duty now con-
fronting the democratic party is to
make the beef trust the vital issue of
the congressional campaigns of 1902
and to lead the people to a victory
which will mean rescue from the OPP
pressive tyranny of the monopoly
trusts.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Senator Hanna, who once re-
ceived a lot of things as a member of
the kitchen cabinet of the white house,
will be satisfied now if he can get a
bone-Rathbone.-N. Y. World.
When the republican politician
is driven into an attitude of defense
you can safely depend on his taking
refuge behind the soldier. If there
is anything the republican party does
pride itself on it is the possession of
all the patriotism of the country.-In-
dianapolis News Qnd.).
There is good reason to believe
that the evil of trustism is to bring
its own cure in the near future. The
beef trust is doing more to crush the
monopoly combines of which it is
typical example than any other in
fuence. Public sentiment has reached
a point of hostility to the trusts that
makes extremely doubtful a long con-
tmuance in power of the political
party which created and festered and
now protects the trusts.-St> Louis Re.

THE EFFRoNrERY OF LODGE.
American Soldiers I'm the
Philippines.

Senator Lodges defense of the
atrocities perpetrated in the Philip
pine islands is notable indeed for its
evasive hypocrisy. The atrocities
themselves he dares not defend, but
he abuses the people who have ex-
posed them and insisted on their re-
preston, says the Indianapolis Sen
tihel. With calm effrontery Mr..
Lodge said:
"It is source of bitter regret to me that
any American officer or enlisted man should
have tortured any Filipino, or that any or
der was issued that on its face seemed re-
voting. But there must be some reason
for these alleged cruelties."
Here is an admission of the fact of
torture and of revolving orders. He
regrets them. So does every Ameri-
can. He says there was treason" for
them. Every American knows that.
We went out to fight a people not
fully civilized and who have for years
been engaged in bitter and cruel
warfare. They know no other kind.
We knew what to expect of them.
But we profess to be civilized and we
are under the obligation of civiliza-
ton to ALLURE barbarism, especially
in an effort to force civilization and
liberty on an unwilling people. The
report continues:
within a few days orders have gone
from the white house for the investigation

No Room for Exaggeration.

There are limits to exaggeration.
This is shown in the narration of the
awful details of the catastrophe in
the Windward islands. The swift
horror of the event battles descrip-
ton. Out of the sky an instant,
fumid, fiery death dropped down on
sea and land. That was the end.
Nothing remained an instant later
but a swelter of bead bodies Tester

THE VITAL ISSUE IS TRUsTIsM
by Such Things as the Beef
Monopoly.

Senator-elect German, of Maryland,
stands with the majority of the Amer
lean people in his belief that the beef
trust has made trustism the issue of
the congressional campaigns by arous-
ing this country to full realization
of the necessity for restricting the
evil power of the trusts.
Every American family, rich and
poor alike, has been brought face to
face with a situation ominously illus
trating the malignant working of the
trust idea. For no reason, save that
the big packing houses constituting
the beef trust determined to suddenly
take full advantage of their absolute
control of markets, the price Of meats
has been advanced to an unwarranted
point. In thousands of instances this
advance has caused suffering and de-
privation, says the ST. Louis Republic
Even to the. rich, who were not COM
PEELED to deprive themselves of meat
because of these high prices, lesson
has been taught that has logically and
rightly created the deepest resentment
against the monopoly combines

cation of the beef trusts method of

of alleged cruelties and to punish any
found guilty of atrocities. Mr.. Lodge made
a warm defense of the secretary of war,
asserting that in the long list of distin-
guished men who had occupied that Office
there never had been an ADLER, more public
spirited or more patriotic man than Sec
rotary Root"
Yet it is but few weeks since Sec
rotary Root denied absolutely that
there had been any 'cruelties" and
publicly rebuked Gen. Miles for stat
ing in an official communication that
the war had "been conducted with
marked severity" But for the eff
forts of the men whom Senator
Lodge abuses to get at the facts, all
knowledge of them would have been
suppressed except what came from
unofficial sources. The report fur

ties and torture punished. We do not ap-
prove of injustices and atrocities committed
upon prisoners or upon helpless men. And
orders have gone out from the white house
and the war department to prevent such
atrocities"
That is all anybody wants, and all
anybody has asked, yet to read the
senator's conclusions one would i'm
agine that somebody had been ask
ing for the punishment of perfectly
innocent men who had committed no
offense whatever. Senator Lodge in
reality confesses all that has been
charged, and, it may be added, all
that has been proven-and no more.
