Ripper" Legislation.

When it was discovered that the
city government of Cleveland could
be neither bought nor browbeaten,
the republican attorney general was
appealed to by the frightened mono
polists, and he brought an custer suit.
We have heard of ripper legislation;
this was ripper litigation. CIeve-
land was confessedly the best city
charter in Ohio. 1t had been granted
by a republican Legislature of a do
zen years ago, to whom the credit
belongs, and both the republican
and democratic masses of Cleveland
approve it. No attempt was made
to break that charter until the peo-
pie elected an administration that
dared question the privileges of the
publis service corporations. Then it
was assaiIed by republican politi-
clans, spurred on by monopolists, and
the attorney general asked the SUI
preme court of the state to declare it
unconstitutional. The court did so.
But il did not stop there. 1t also de-
clared the whole charter system of
Ohio invalid. For that reason the
legislature is now convened in
special session to frame a general
municipal code.

BRYAN SERVES
AS PEACEMAKER
With the Usual Result That He is
Nearly Killed by One of the
BeIligerents.

Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 3.-W. j, Bryan
was nearly killed after the Labor
day exercises Monday as the result
of playing the part of peacemaker.
Riding on horseback he saw two men
fighting. Leaping to the ground he
separated the two combatants and
one of them Immediately attacked
him with revolver in one hand and
a knife in the other, and struggle
ensued. The stranger was frenzied
from liquor and the excitement of
his previous combat and Mr.. Bryan
was almost overpowered, when John
Burke, barber, came to his assist
ance and the two speedily had the
enraged man on the ground and dis
armed.
Those present wanted the man turn
ed over to the police, but Mr.. Bryan
advised letting him go, and his as
sailant departed without his name
being learned. Though large num-
Der OF people saw the affair, no one
present knew the man.

THE IOWA CONVENTION.
ReamrmatIon of Kansas City Platform
Said to BE Defeated.


Des Moines, Iowa. Sept. 3.-The
state democratic convention was call
ed to order at IL by Chairman Nc
Donnell. Only about half the dele
gates were present. The principal is
sue is the plank in regard to indorse-
ment of the Kansas City platform.
ii. c. Taylor, of Davis county. tenn
porary chairman, delivered n lengthy
address.
BY vote of seven to four the dis
trict caucuses decided this morning
that there would be no reaffirmation
of the Kansas City platform by the
democrats of Iowa in the convention
assembled. There will, however, be n
minority report of the committee on
resolutions favoring the reafiirma-
ton and the convention itself will be
required to decide the matter.
The anti-silvcr men claimed after
the caucuses this morning that they
had enough votes in the convention to
effectually squelch any mention of
the Kansas City platform.

"By such unmistakable signs the
the leaders of the republican party in
this state have exposed their will
ingness to guard and defend the in
terests of privilege and monopoly at
the expense of the unprivileged peo-
pie. L say republican leaders, be-
cause L do not believe this partner
ship with monopoly is approved by
the republican masses. Acting for
monopoly interests, the state Of
ficials and the members of the domi-
nant party in the Legislature have
defeated all legislation looking to the
correction of inequalities in taxa
ton. Incontestable proof was fur
nished them that the steam rail
roads and other public service cor
pOrations- together are evading pay
ment of their just share of taxation,
as compared with home owners and
farmers, to the extent of not less
than $6,OOO,OOO to 100000 year.

attempt to correct this manifest in
equality has been defeated. State
boards, composed of republicans,
stand in the way under the present
law. and the republican majority i'm

making remedial laws.
Experiences In Cleveland.
IF further proof of this corrupt
partnership be desired, turn to the
experiences of the city of Cleve-
land during the past year and a
half. The city board of equalization
raised the valuation of the local
public service corporations nearly
$20,O0O,Oo0. This brought it up from
6 per cent to 60 per cent. of its
market value, which is the custom
mary basis of valuation in ordin-
airy cases. But state board. com
posed of the governor, the attorney
general and the state auditor, wiped
that assessment out, leaving these
corporations to make their own as
sessments; and the republicans in
the legislature legislated the faith
full city board out of existence. In
place of that board new city board
has been appointed by the same
state officials. 1t is composed of men
who can be trusted to guard mono
poly interests. The old city board
of equalization was not alone in Of
Tending the monopolists. The city
council offended also. 1t provided
for street car system with three
cent fares and the ultimate owner
ship by the city. Government by in
junction was thereupon brought into
play. The Cleveland council is now
enjoined from granting street car
franchises with low fares, while
every other city in the state is at Ii
berty to grant street car franchises
with high fares.

The mother objected to the atten-

months with relatives near Omaha.
The trip was begun last Friday morn

were married without delay.
Yesterday they returned to this

Proof of Value.

The revival of mining interests
and the proofs of real value that
are being manifested III the older
districts and neglected mines OF
Nevada and some of the States
where mining was inaugurated
years ago and has been suffered to
decline, proves most conclusively
the permanence and stability OF
the ind ustry of mining SO far az
it's resources are concerned. Many
mines, and in fact whole districts,
in a number of the older States
have been for some time practi-
cally Abandoned. The excitement
of newer localities, the alluring
promise of better advantages. cost
of transportation and other infu-
ences have tended to turn atten-
ton from the old to the new, but
within the past few months there
has been a marked increase OF nc
tivity and interest in the field
where gold and silver was FIRST dis
covered and mined in this coun-
try extensively. Recently many
of the old and almost forgotten
mines Of Nevada have been placed
In working condition, and the re-
suits are so favorable that a gener-
al recognition of the feal worth
of these properties has created an
interest that promises to eclipse
the history Of former times. Not
only are the old mines found to be
valuable and promising, but new
discoveries are coming to light in
new ground that has been neglect
ed FOR years.
These things have a double
value from the fact that they show
the mines themselves have never
been wanting in worth and value
and are proving that mining,
whenever prosecuted in a business
like way, never fails to yield a sat-
isfactory return for all We'll direct
ell efforts. The awakening inter
est in the old districts means now
the establishment of mining Upon
a permanent and reliable basis
and will prove d valuable example
to those operating in other locali-
ties.
