THE VOICE OF MAINE.

The latest returns from the Maine cleo
ton indicate a Republican plurality of
5000. against 24.76s in the ''off year. cleo
ton of 1898. and of S4.oos in the September
election of 1900. 1t is the largest 'off year"
Republican plurality ever scored in Maine
with the exception of the year OF the tariff
deluge of 1894. This result is significant
because the Democratic managers made
special effort to get out a full Democratic
vote, a greater effort, in fact, than they
have made since 1892 The platform was
framed to catch both Bryan and anti
Bryan Democrats. An alleged anti-Bryan
Democrat was put at the head of the tick
ct. who went through the State with Mr..
Bryan. Hon. Bourke Cochran made several
speeches in the State, and several sound
money Democrats from Massachusetts,,
and even noted Democrats from Demo-
cratic States. like Hon. Champ Clark, of
Missouri. were in Maine to encourage the
Democracy and assail the Republicans.
Large audiences led the Democratic man.
ayers to believe they would cut down the
Republican plurality. and the Democratic
chairman on Saturday night telegraphed
assurances of great gains. On the other
hand, the Republicans had few outside
speakers and made much less show than
usual On Saturday night the Republican
chairman claimed a plurality of 1900 or
10000. while the correspondent of the Bos-
ton Herald at the state capital telegraphed
that "for the first time in eight years the
Republican managers are anxious about
their majority" With all their special eff
fort the Democratic vote is not as large as
1T was two years ago. For an OF year the
party has lost rather than gained. On the
other hand. the Republican party. in a

stands, fun strength, for the Republican
policy Of Mckinley and Roosevelt.
Thus does Maine put itself in the column
OF States emphatically Republican In 1902
after Oregon and vermont-more emphat-
ically, I'm fact, than they did in the "off
year" of 1898. The attempt to harmonic
the Democratic party in these States has
failed to bring out as large a vote as was
given four years ago. These facts should
give Republicans elsewhere an inspiration
to push their fighting with renewed zeal

AGAINST STEEL TRUST
RULING IN FAVOR OF OPPONENTS OF
BOND CONVERSION.
Denial of Motion to Dismiss Com
plainants' Bill ON the Ground that
1t Is an Imposition.

NEWARK, N. j., Sept. 9.-vice Chancel-
lor Emory to-day denied the application
made by R. v. Lindabury, counsel of the
United States Steel Corporation. for an
order to compel the persons who made af
fidavit in the suit Of j. Aspinwald Hodge
and others against the Steel Corporation
to come into court to be cross-examined.
The vice chancellor also denied the mo-
ton made by Mr.. Lindabury to dismiss the
bill and have it stricken from the files of
the court as an imposition.
In his decision the vice chancellor said:
1.-THE rule is established, / think, that
where the only method of protecting or as
sorting a property right of complainant
is in court of equity. the court cannot
refuse to decide or hear a complainant on a
question of right merely because of his i'm
proper motive in the prosecution of his
rights. That the motive of a complainant
in prosecuting an equitable property right
is to be bought off is not a reason for dis
missing a case and refusing to try a ques-
ton Of right The complainant is entitled
to have the question of such alleged equita-
BILE right tried"
Vice Chancellor Emery further held that
no matter what the compliments motive
might be. if his property rights were equita-
BILE he was entitled not only to a hearing,
but to protection by a preliminary injunc-
ton pending decision. Up to the time
of a decision in the Berger case, the vice
chancellor declared, the Hodge case cannot
be considered false or unfounded, nor could
inquiry as to its motive be material
Argument was heard during the after
noon on the merits of the application for a
preliminary injunction, the attorney OF the
complainants having the attention of the
vice chancellor. The argument will be re-
sumed tomorrow.

TRUSTS AND wORKINGMEN.

Party newspaper support of the Demo-
that trusts are dismantling mills and
throwing men out of employment comes
in very feeble fashion. The assertion is
made as descriptive OF a general situation
and is intended TO convey the impression
that the net result OF the trust movement
has been to lessen the number of mills and
factories and increase the number of I'M
employed men throughout the country. The
assertion is not made good by showing that
a mill or factory here and there in a par
ticular industry has been closed, nor can 1t
be made good without proof that the men
thus thrown out of one line of employment
have not easily got into another. The real
point OF inquiry is whether the aggregate
production OF the country and the total
number of persons employed in gainful oc-
equations is greater or less since the trust
movement began than they were before

ductive or badly located mill or factory

RevOIutfOnist Army Reported to BE
Moving Toward the Railway to
Take Possession.
SURRENDER OF Aqua DULCE
SITUATION FOR THE GOVERNMENT
SAID TO BE SERIOUS.
Venezuelan Rebels Defeated, Accord
ing to a Dispatch from the Pres
ident of the Republic.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-Mr. Ehrman,
vice consul general at Panama. advises the
State Department by cable that Aqua Dulce
has been surrendered by the government
forces. Four revolutionary war vessels
are now in the Bay of Panama and the
revolutionists are reported to be moving
toward the railroad. Mr.. Ehrman consid'
ers the situation at Colon and at Panama
serious.
The officials Of the Colombian legation
profess not to be seriously alarmed over
the surrender of the government forces at
Aqua Dulce. The number of government
soldiers there is estimated to have been
somewhat less than 1900 men. and while
their loss is admittedly a setback. Colon
bias representatives declare the effect Will
be to stimulate the government to greater
activity to crush out the rebellion. The
general understanding here has been that
the government had about 1000 men under
arms on the isthmus. While this may be
an overestimate, legation officials say there
are sufficient men left to offer strong re-
sistance to any efforts the revolutionists
may make to take the Interoceanic Rail-
road or the cities of Colon or Panama. The
revolutionists are thought to be in the vi
cinity of those places. Since the capture
by the insurgents of the gunboat Boyaca
the government is without naval repre-
sentation on the Pacific coast, though the
Bogota, recently purchased in the United
States, is now on her way down from
Seattle. This vessel. the officials say, will
be more than a match for the whole rebel
fleet. No advices regarding the surrender
of the government forces at Aqua Dulce
have reached the legation.

THE MAYORS MESSAGE.

The first annual message of Mayor Book
walter is the most important one of recent
years. because it presents a true statement
regarding some municipal affairs which,
under former administrations, have been
kept hidden. Mayor Taggarts policy was
to Jolly the people with the pretense of
low taxes, while all the time he was dis
counting future revenues and letting city
properties 90 to ruin for lack of needed re-
pairs. 1t was hand-to-mouth policy, Dor
rowing money at interest to pay current
expenses and letting the future take care of
itself. In his last annual message Mayor
Taggart said he believed that a low tax
levy, even though a temporary loan is oc-
casionally required. is proper and just to
the taxpayers. and is the business-like way
in which to manage the financial affairs of
the CITY," At the same time he expressed
his qualification that the several temporary
loans which had been made on account of
the low tax levy "have been secured at ex-
ceedingly low rates of interest, averaging
about per cent As a result of this bor-
rowing policy the present administration
inherited a practically empty treasury,
with bridges, viaducts. culverts, public
buildings and other city property all in bad
repair and calling for immediate atten-
ton. "All kinds of city property" says
Mayor Bookwater, were found to be in a
seriously deteriorated condition" A city's
property should be kept in repair the same
as that of any other corporation. He says:
I believe that 1t is time for the people
Of the city of Indianapolis to stop and take
an inventory; that ii is time for ii to be
determined whether or not the policy which
has obtained of placing the tax levy at
figure wholly inadequate to care for the
oity's needs and borrowing from time to
time to make good the deficit created by
such inadequate levies, in addition to which
bond issues and temporary loans were
made, practically exhausting the succeed
ing years revenues. is to be continued.
For himself. the mayor says he thinks
that it is the best policy for a municipality
to be managed like any other business en-
terprise, and he does not believe it would
be considered good business management
for any corporation to borrow money to
meet current expenses instead of asking the
stockholders to advance the funds necessary
to keep up the plant and maintain the
corporate solvency. This is a business-like
view, and in pursuance of it the mayor
recommends an increase of the tax levy
to Sc cents. He says he does this reluctant
ly and from sense of public duty, and
pledges his best efforts to see that the in
creased revenues of the city are faithfully
and economically applied to it's better gov
eminent and to necessary improvements.
Mayor Bookwalter was elected on the plat
form of a business administration, and his
suggestions for improving the city finances
and the condition of its property are in
that direction. These suggestions should
be met by the Council in a liberal spirit,
though without forgetting the necessity of
exercising strict economy in the appropria-
lions

1.-THE morning organ of the trusts" Is the
polite designation applied to the Journal
by city contemporary whose chief &C.
cupation is stirring up class hatred and
opposing everything that contributes to the
prosperity of the country. The Journal
flatters itself that it has intelligence
enough to discriminate between white and
black, and fairness enough to recognize
the good in everything. 1t is the friend
of capital we'll as of labor, of corpora
tons as well as of labor unions, and can
even see that trusts may contribute to the
commercial supremacy and general pros

smashers who spend their time screaming
down with trusts without suggesting
any way of getting rid of what is bad in
them while retaining what is good, should
ponder what Samuel Gompers president
of the American Federation of Labor, says:
For our part we are convinced that the
state is not capable of preventing the
legitimate development or natural concen-
tration Of industry. All the propositions
TO do so which have come under our OBJ
servation would beyond doubt react with
greater force and injury upon the working
people of our country than upon the
