With the air of a man to whom a
financial crash is but an incident in
this vale of tears, John L. Sullivan ac-
counted for the collapse of his Uncle
Toms Cabin" show in Jersey City the
other day by saying simply:
1.-The whole trouble was that my
awful thirst bust up the show"
None of the members of the company
disagreed with John l.. Frank Rem
ington, the Lawyer Marks of the COM
pany, said:
'grhe trouble was we couldn't make
money fast enough to pay John LIS
hotel bills. He must have consumed
an awful lot of food"
Food? Food is good You mean

pugilist. But l have reformed. It's

Proud mothers can tell their sons to
follow in John LIS footsteps and

for the whisky trust from now on.
They'll miss my thirst all right. I've

SCHURMAN'S THREE RS.

Chicago Post: Is the campaign of
1904 to be epigrammatic? Instead OF
long speeches and volumes Of 'litera-
ture,' are we to be persuaded, cajoled,
convinced, stampeded by crisp, short
sentences? Indications seem to point
in this direction. Mr.. Bryan has al
ready coined a few epigrams for the
constantly shrinking army of the
faithful" Mr.. Watterson has perform
ed a similar service for the children
of Harmony" And now President
schurman of Cornell has dropped a
phrase that the republicans are likely
tc adopt as their own particular and
well favored child.
81 believe the people want to en-
dorse the three RS" says DR.. Schur-
man-"Roosevelt, the nations leader;
Reciprocity with Cuba, the nations
duty; Revision of the Tariff, the ma
tons interest" This can be very
neatly put into a campaign slogan OF
the most strenuous sort. With what
vim the republicans can shout on their
marches and in their meetings,
Roosevelt, Reciprocity, Revision"
| adding "Rah' and a tiger if they are
not content with three RS. #.
Into these three RS DR.. Schurman,
who is not a violent partisan, by the
way, has put the sen of the re.
publican campaign from nov until
November of 1904. It is practically
the same policy which has JUS. been
voiced by Senator Cullom of Illinois
He believes that practically all re
publicans are for President Roosevelt;
he has declared himself for tariff re
vision as something which is bounc
to come and which the republicans
would better attend to themselves
The reciprocity idea, especially as i
concerns Cuba, is being endorsed al
most everywhere that the people gel
an opportunity to express their opin
ions.
Let the republicans conduct a Wig
orous ''Three r" campaign. 1t is
catchy phrase, full of ginger" truth
common sense and wisdom.

love Mr.. Heinze the more and rather
than see that distinguished gentle-
man and fellow democrat have the
prestige implied by the possession of
the good will of SO mighty an organ
as the Independent, he may have con-
cluded to stop the thing before it had
gone too far and to do it effectually
and for all time took over the paper,
good will subscription list and all.
Perusal of the latest copy of the
Independent to be received here war
rants the latter belief. 1t contained
it's usual amount of black face type
editorials and about the customary
quantity of editorial matter in refer
ence to the railroads and fulsome
praise Of the state board of equali-
zation for having increased their as
sessment. The type and the matter
both go to show that whatever truth
here may be in the reported sale Of
the paper, that DR.. Eggleston is still
editor and that the order to press
less hard on the railroads has not yet
gone forth.

John Ballinger Pleads Guilty to AS

Livingston, Aug. 10;-In the district

with assault in the first degree, with

the mercy of the court. Ballinger
was charged with shooting Charles.
Brown at Gardiner on the night of
April I. The shooting took place
while Brown vas returning from a
card party with a young lady.
Several parties had been playing
cards at the home Of a young lady
at Gardiner and among them were

and was frequently ioked about it. He
finally became angry and suddenly

A TARIFF COMMISSION.

Minneapolis journal: A contem-
porary emphasizes temperance in
agitating for revision of the tariff, and
finds a reason for it in the condition
of the public at the begin
ming of the fiscal year.
When will the day come when III
government will be ready to adopt the
plan which is quite generally regarded
as calculated to protect the country
in a large degree from that disturb
ance of business which periodical
agitation of tariff revision as a polit-
ical issue is likely to produce? 1t
is to be hoped that some day we shall
refer this matter of the tariff, which
should be purely a business affair and
never allowed to become a political
issue, to a strong commission in which
business men of all political faiths
would have confidence, and which
should be non-partizan in character.
Recommendations Of such a commits
sion made from time to time would
commend themselves to the judgment
of the country as a basis of congress
sional legislation the notifications Of
the tariff being, not general and

tofore and had such statements as are
now promised been issued regularly,
perhaps much ct the complaint that
has been heard of late would never
have arisen. This should not be un-
derstood as meaning that the people
have been suspicious or mistrustful
of the board, but they have not under
stood matters and did not know where
all the money raised by taxation was
going, being ignorant of the Difficult
ties under which the directors have
been laboring.
The failure of the board under
which the issue was made to provide
a redemption and interest fund for the
benefit of the bonds now beginning to
be due was an unfortunate commission
and one for which the present board
must suffer. Had the usual precaution
in that direction been taken there
would net now be the need of taking
money from the general and special
funds, money reserved for other pur-
poses, to meet the accruing obliga-
tons assumed by the district when
the issue was made.
AS before stated, the people of this
district are not niggardly in the mat
ter of liberal and just contributions to
the cause of education and
are at all times willing to
pay generously for its ad-
vancement, but they like to know how
and for what purpose the money they
contribute is expended. Mr.. Moss ex-
PLANTATION clears the situation and no
more will probably be heard concern
ing the present levy, as he has made
clear the necessity of it.

INLAND WATER TRANSPORT

Minneapolis Journal: 1t is predict
ed that the approaching session Of
the Trans:Mississippi congress in st.
Paul will be powerfully instrumental
in bringing about further improve
ments Of the upper Mississippi. We
believe the people of the northwest
who have given some attention to the
functions of water transportation and
its effects on railway rates are strong
ly in favor of such Improvement.
Even those who have been most con
temptuously opposed have at times
made %unguarded admissions that have
weakened their position. Mr.. J. ].
Hill has as consistently opposed
waterways as any man, but at St.
Louis a while ago he declared himself
in favor of the improvement of the
river so as to give a twelve-foot chan
mel from New Orleans to st. Louis.
Ii water transport is good from st.
neapolis to st. Louis. So much at
.tention has been concentrated on rail
ways that water routes have not al
ways of late years, had that part of
the inland of the country
which they can handle more cheaply
and better than the railways. But
the attention of the business world
will not always overlook them. Where
it's benefits are SO obvious as on the
great lakes it has never been neglect
ed, but the tortuous, uncertain river
channels have been largely forgotten.

IN RE TIE INDEPENDENT.

From Helena onne the report that
the Independent has been sold anG
that Senator Clark is the purchaser.
AS if to confirm a part OF the report.
the name of john Stuart Mills Neill
no longer appears at the head OF the
editorial page as proprietor. by the
Independent Publishing company is
the legend which has taken its place.
talented Dr.. Eggleston has been de-
posed as editor and that his place
is to be taken by Jere Collins, who
recently returned to the state capital
from Washington. In fact there is
to be a general overhauling of the
force, including all departments.
The most interesting part Of the
story is that which refers to the al
legged cause of the transfer. 1t is said
that Senator Clark has been seriously
opposed to the Independents attitude
toward the railroads; that the fight
the paper has been making on them
has not been at all to his liking and
that in order to stop it he bought the
sheet. This may be true and it may
not. If. as reported, the senator did
not approve of the Independents
course in this regard to those who
know anything concerning the rela-
tons which have always existed be-
tween him and the Independent it
would seem that he could have found
a way of overcoming the difficulty
without the necessity of resorting to
a remedy so severe and at the same
time so expensive. Liberal and rich
as he is, the senator is not noted for
reckless and e~xtravagant expenditure
of money, especially when there is
no call for it. If he had no other
reason for buying the Independent, if
he has really bought it, he certainly
has deviated from his former course
in regard to such matters and for
once failed to employ the tact and
diplomacy which have contributed so
much to his success in the various
fields of his endeavor.
AS a sort of addendum to the main
story is a little paragraph that gives
as a second reason for the purchase
by the senator the fact that the good
will of the Independent had been sold
to F. Aug. Heinze. Here, probably
lies the whole secret, providing always
that Mr.. Clark has bought the indie
pendent. While he may not love the
railroads less, he certainly does not

sweeping as the result Of long agita-
ton, with consequent hesitation and
decentralization of business, but grad
ual and incidental, affecting but few
articles at q time, and justified always
by thorough investigation.
Such an administration Of our pro-
tective principle and evenue policy
by a permanent commission, and the
consequent greater or less elimina-
ticn Of the subject from the field of
practical politics, is a contamination
most devoutly to be wished. 1t has
received the commentator of pub
lie men and students of public affairs
and the Endorsement Df political con
ventions, but it has yet to be actualiz-
ed in legislation and entrusted with
the discharge of a service of great i'm
portance to the commercial and in
dustrial interests Of the country.

x AT It's WORD.

Minneapolis Journal: The North
ern Securities company is having
more trouble. This time it is in Mon
tana. Governor Tcole is making the
trouble. He advised the state board
of equalization to increase the assess
ment of the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific some 800 per cent,
the new assessment to be upon the
shown in the statement of the North
ern Securities company. The Mon
tana mileage was turned into the
merger at a valuation of $52,SO0 a
mile.
"Of course we have been in error"
ironically said Governor Tcole to rep
resentatives of the railroads last Sat
urday. "in taking $52,800 a mile as
the cash value Of such roads, but
when such successful financiers as Mr..
Morgan and his associates have with
in a year paid. that sum for them, it
certainly makes a prima facie case
fer the board"
While the board of equalization has
not seen fit TIC make the increased as
sessment 800 per cent, it has made it
1856 per cent. This raise would in
| crease the states revenues $440,00
and the railway companies are natur-
ally hustling to avoid paying it.
It is not surprising to hear that the
taxpayers of the state outside of the
railroad companies, are in favor of
the increase.
Railways generally do not bear their
fair share of the burden of taxation.
But if the Northern Securities com
pany values it's lines in Montana al
$50. 500 a mile, and purposes to pay
dividends on that basis, it cannot OBJ
ject if the state authorities use that
figure as the basis OF assessment
Evidently they are taxed far below
that figure now-about two-thirds be
low it.

poses the more does the company de

While they insist that the members
of their ball team maintain a high
average in the matter of catching all
grounders, pitched balls and those
that find their way into the infield and
outfield through momentum acquired
from a bat in the hands of an oppos-
ing player, the people ct Helena are
loud in their insistance that they show
less eagerness for making labial con
nection with, the seductive and en-
nervating "highball." Because of a
manifest desire to play two shifts,
one in the field and the other in the
barrooms Of the city, the Senators"
have lost several games since their re-

TRAcY's BODY IS BURIED
IDENTIFIED BY PRISON OFF,
GERS AND coNvlcTs.
A Bogus Tracy. Turns Up in Spokane
County and Terrorizes
Farmers.

Salem, Ore, Aug. 10.-The body Of
Harry Tracy was received at the peni-
tertiary at noon today, just two
months after his sensational escape.
The body arrived in charge of DR..
Lantner, Attorney Smith and Con-
stable Strauh of Creston, Wash, and
was by them delivered to Superin-
tendent Lee, at the railroad station.
The box containing the body was
Immediately conveyed to the prison
by TRUSTEES opened and the body posi-
lively identified by Superintendent
Lee, Warden James and other per-
sons. A force of TRUSTEES employed
about the prison, men who had served
in prison with the dead convict, also
positively identified the body as that
of Harry Tracy.
Immediately after the Identification
was completed the box was moved in
to the chapel of the prison and the
convicts allowed to see the body. At
2 p. m. vitrol was placed on the face
to destroy it, in order to prevent any
attempt at stealing the body and plac-
ing it on exhibition. The box was
then transferred to the prison Gene
terry and buried, thus ending one of
the most sensational episodes in the
history Of the prison.
The rifle of the dead convict was
delivered to Superintendent Lee. The
question of the reward will be taken
up this afternoon by Lee and the mes
bringing in the body, The return of
Tracy's body will, it is believed, have
a salutary effect on the convicts and
be of great benefit in the matter OF
improving discipline.
