POINTS AND OPINIONS.

Republican senators and con-
gressmen are too late in learning that
the American people demand a revi-
sion of the tariff. The record of the
Fifty-seventh congress in it's first ses-
sion makes it certain that the task of
tariff revision will be intrusted to the
democratic party.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.
Endorsing republicanism is not
indorsing tariff revision or reciprocity
with Cuba. The republican party is
too close a prisoner of the trusts sue
cessfully to approach either of these
subjects. A democratic majority in
the next house of representatives is
the surest guaranty of both reciproc-
ity with Cuba and a proper revision
of the tariff.-Utica Observer.
Republican leaders are more con-
cerned over national affairs now than
they had been in some years. So long
as the democrats manifested indiffer-
ence to the tariff there was no danger,
but now that tariff reform and the
regulation of trusts are being forced
to the front the democratic party
looks formidable once more.-Kansas
City Star.
One of the workings of the
present tariff that is not perhaps I'M
derstood by the American consumer
is the rebate that is allowed N
manufacturers for goods exported
thus: An American wool manufac'
turer must pay IN e%xorbitant duty
on wool. Of course, he adds this tc
his price of carpets and cloth anC
the American consumer pays it. But
if the manufacturer exports his car
pets and cloth the government re
funds to him the duty hat he hal
paid on the wool hat goes into
those goods. Thus the tariff dis
eliminates in the case of foreign
purchasers against Il own people
Indianapolis News.
The best way to make the trust.
behave themselves is to put them il
competition with the world. The bes
way to make them arrogant is by
protective tariff to give them an ex
elusive market. Let the democrats
party make its fight on this issue AM
it will stand on solid ground.-Rich
mond Times.
Chairman Griggs, of the demo
cratic congressional campaign com
mittee, after consulting with leader
of his party in the east, has decides
to make it four paramount issues in
stead of one, as formerly.-Chicag

A SUNDAY MORNING RIOT.
White and COlOred People Mt Indian
apOIis Indulge in "a Free Flight
at a Ball Game.

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 25.--A race
riot broke out Sunday, at Haughville,
a suburb of this city, between 200 ne
groes and whites employed by the
National Malleab.e Casting Co.. There
has been bitter race feeling between
them for several years and trouble
has frequently broken out. Two peo-
pie have already been killed.
At a ball game Sunday morning the
two factions caused excitement. AS
the crowd le1t the field hostilities
broke out. Stones, bricks, clubs and
other missiles were used. Two hun-
bred persons were Immediately
crushed together in a fighting mass.
Twelve or fifteen shots were fired,
and it is reported one negro was shot,
but he was slipped from the field be-
fore the police arrived. The whites
were victorious, driving the blacks
from the field and w%ounding a num-
Der of them. Several white people
were badly injured. Ten arrests have
been made and others will be made
as rapidly as the persons are found.
The police responded to a riot call,
but on account of the distance did not
arrive until the fight had been fought
to a finish. The officers of the com
pany fear that another outbreak may
follow.

DOWN A STEEP GRADE.
One Freight Train on an Ipdiana
Railroad Dashes Into Another
With Fatal Results.

Princeton, Ind, Aug. PA disas-
trous wreck occurred at Georgetown,
Ind, on the Southern railway, eight
miles west of New Albany, early Sun
day, in which at least three lives were
lost.
The dead: Edward Deval, engineer,
single, Louisville; Dudley Cox, fire"
man, single, Birdseye, Ind; Rerso
Ross, brakeman, Midtown, Ind.
Missing: Brakeman Osborne,
Princeton, Ind.
The injured are: Engineer Harry
Goodale, married, Princeton, Ind;
will die before morning. c. F. Meyer,
brakeman, Princeton; injuries not Sc
rious.
An east-bound freight was switch
ing at Duncan, where there is a high
grade, and left a cut of II cars and q
caboose on the main track. The cars
in some manner got loose and dashed
down the steep grade, two a half
miles, crashing into an east-bound
freight on a trestle 300 feet long and
from 16 to IS feet high. Five sections
of the trestle went down with the
train and all were piled up in the
ravine below. Engineers Goodale and
Deval, Fireman Cox and Brakemen
Ross and Meyer went down with the
trains and were buried in the debris.
There was great difficulty in extri-
eating Meyers. His voice could be
heard for hours, while the rescuers
were trying to locate him. Cox, Ross
and Deval were dead when found,
Goodale's right shoulder and head
were badly bruised. Brakeman Mey'
ers was not seriously hurt. Brake
man Osborne is supposed to have been
on the cut off cars.

REVISION OF THE TARIFF.
publlcans No End of Worry
and Trouble.

The question of a revision of the
tariff is causing considerable anxiety
to the republican leaders. The speech
of Representative Grosyenor at the
convention which nominated him
was on both sides of the question.
He favored revision of the tariff
when the proper time came, and,
of course, only Grosyenor I'M the
republican party were capable of I'M
dertaking the revising. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Boston
Transcript, a sturdy republican news
paper, says of this:
"Mr. Grosvenor did not say when the
proper time for tariff revision would ar
rive, but 1t is well known that he fully
agrees with the other republican leaders
Of the house that there probably will be
no revision in which the house which is to
be elected this fall will share. When,
therefore, republican politicians
MI. Grosvenor's remarks, they mean mai
the men who rule the republican party
have not the slightest intention that the
tariff shall be disturbed until they are
compelled to revise it.
Nobody here regards with any serious
ness the recent declarations of Senator
Cullom, Representative Tawney and other
republican members of congress in favor
of tariff reform. There are others who say
the republican tariff reformers' do not
wish to be taken seriously by anybody
outside their constituencies. They are
tarlf reformers of the Babcock variety,
but whether they are sincere or not, there
is not the slightest reason apparent to
Washington politicians for expecting that
any considerable movement for tariff re-
vision will be developed in the republican
party next winter. Secretary Shaw, for
example, thinks the republicans of Iowa
should not have made the declarations
which embarrass the party at large. He
says they knew quite as well as he that
the tariff is going to stay put for several
years to come, unless the republicans get
tremendously shaken up in the fall cleo
tions, and in that way scared into making
some revisiors."
The tariff protected trusts evil
IDENTIFY have too firm a grasp on the
leaders of the republican party to
permit any of the tariff subsidy they
are now receiving to be disturbed
This is the attitude of the leaders
But what of the people who pay the
tax? Will they vote for members OF
congress or for members of the
legislatures, who will select one
third of the members of the United
States senate at the election this
fall, who will continue the tariff tax oil
trust productions.
The opportunity to turn down thu
politicians, who secretly, if not open
ly, favor the tariff subsidy to thu
trusts is in the hands of the voters
They can enforce the Hanna-GrOs
venor plan of letting well enougI
alone or they can vote for thos
who are pledged to lift the tart
burden of double prices on many o
the necessaries of life which tn
"letting well enough alone" pre-
gramme compels them to pay. 1
deciding this question, it is well t
remember that the trusts are nov
selling their productions in thi
country for nearly double what the
sell them for in other countries.

New York, Aug. 24.-Rudolph

No other ease of the disease has

New Buster of Trusts.

Senator Hanna having failed with
his Civic Federation annex to adjust
the coal strike and President Roose-
welt having pocketed the report of
Commissioner of Labor Wright, which
was heralded as giving the inside facts
about the coal trust, Z: that it would
seem that the president is not anxious
to put any more labor on the over
worked attorney general the coal
strike is still in full blast. But now
comes Brother Quay, who is stated to
be very pleased to undertake what
Hanna and Roosevelt have failed to ac-
complish, and being such a noted trust
hunter he may accomplish it. Brother
Quay, like his enemy Hanna, hunts the
trusts to their lair to fry the fat out
of them, and it may be cheaper forthe
coal trusts to stop the strike than to
''put up" for the Pennsylvania cam
paign fund. 1t is about time for Broth
err Hanna to make another effort or
Quay will be looked to as the adjuster
of the troubles between labor and cap

Hanna Can't See Trusts.

Senator Hanna shocked the country
on October 81, 1899, by saying: 81 do
not know of a trust in the United
States" On Friday, August 8, another
similar Hanna shock was felt when he
announced, at C~hautauqua: "There
are no monopolies in this country, ex-
cept such as are protected by patents"
Tom johnson says that Senator Han
mas intentions are good and that he
undoubtedly wants to help labor all
he can; in fact, will devote the rest of
his life to labor's cause, but says the
senator will never accomplish much Of
permanent good until he recognizes
the monopoly element in trusts and
combinations and destroyes it. But
if Hanna couldn't tell a trust or mo-
nopoly if he saw it coming up the
street, his case is hopeless. He will
continue to waste his time and good
| intentions while trusts and monopo-
lies prey upon consumers, including
his much-beloved workingman. Too
bad!

Negotiation of trusts and aboli-

which have perplexed statesmen and

Hanna, and as he gets deeper into
the subject he will perhaps be disap-
