Manchester will remember the Sab.

the peace II nothing else.

In an attempt to reply to the as
sertion Of the Republican state com
mittee that W. H. Craddock, Demo
cratic candidate for governor, evadei
paying taxes and has done SO fol
years, the fusion state committees
are sending out a statement proudly
alleging the fact that Mr.. Craddock
paid taxes once twelve years ago. II
seems, however, according to this
statement, MIR. Craddock was running
store at that time and necessarily
couldn't escape the assessor. Follow
ing the statement Of these things IN
the News this week the Demo-Pop
choir will please arise and sing "And
he hasn't done anything SINCE"

Reciprocity Sentiment Less.


The following dispatch from Wash
ington to the Globe Democrats paper
which was last spring Of q different
opinion, is significant:
considerable interest Is being
manifested here in the effect Of the
addresses which it is announced the
president will make in the present
tour Of the northwest in support Of
Cuban reciprocity. The Republicans
Of Michigan, Minnesota and other
states in the northwest are pledged
to Roosevelt'a nomination in 1904,
but the returns Of the primary cleo
tions in Minnesota show that his
policy Of reciprocity with Cuba has
not been Endorsed. The voters at
the polls have registered their in.
dorsement Of the beet sugar insur.
gents in congress, regardless Of their
support Of the president. This, at
least, is the lesson drawn by students
Of the returns in this city and by
Minnesotans returning to Washing
ton"
Protection to home industries is al.
ways right and congress always owes
more to the American farmer than II
does to the Cuban cigarette.smoking
plantation hand.

Roosevelt on Trust Problem.

President Roosevelt in his Cincin-
natl speech talked only hard horse
sense. His language in being simple
was forceful from its nominees. No
platitudes Of the politician nor the
glittering generalities OF the dema.
gogue found any place in that talk Of
. patriot to the level.headed business
men Of Ohio. By the recitation Of
we'll known situations and simplest
logic be knocked the pins from under
the Democratic convention that .
protective tariff fosters trusts.
The two greatest trusts Of this
country today are those Of the Stand.
ard Oil and the coal combine, yet
neither Of these are protected by the
Dingley or any other tariff law. II
the protective tariff promotes great
corporate enterprises it cannot do so
without fostering lesser interests in
the same lines, and without also bene.
filing the individual workmen con-
nected with these. II the repeal Of
the protective tariff law would de.
stroy trusts, so would it also destroy
the lesser interests Of the simple COM
pany and Of the single individual.
The demand for federal control is to
the end that were combinations Of
capital to prove hurtful, are employed
to Cypress, they may be regulated or
otherwise relegated. This federal
power Of control, the president urges,
should be encompassed by an amend
ment to the constitution, embodied
in such direct and certain language
as no court could misconstrue. Once
invest the congress with the power
and then furnish it with the neces-
sary information, adequate laws
would soon follow.
No wrong against the welfare Of the
people as whole can long withstand
the understanding which the light Of
publicity affords. Every right-minded
man, every citizen Of honest purpose
whatever bis party utilization, should
read that Cincinnati speech, or more
correctly, talk Of President Roosevelt.

Take Republication Straight.

Take Republication straight.
Col. 7. ". Harrison, Of Topeka In
. letter to the press puts into the fol-
lowing strong language wholesome
political doctrine:
"All true Republicans believe. and
impartial history jussifes that b.
lief, that the Republican party has
given to the nation. the common
wealth and municipality the best
government man hes ever known.
Its principles are right because they
are founded in truth, and it, whole
existence has been devoted to the
elimination Of evil and lettering the
condition OF mankind. And 1t 10 not
Republican doctrine, nor good policy,
nor good citizenship to strive to pun
ish that party BY fighting and defsst'
ing its nominees for the avowed pur-
pose Of forcing it to accept the ideas
Of those who have been unsuccessful
in having them adopted within Its
council"
Colonel Harrison practices what he
breaches. 1t 10 doubtful II any Re-
publican in the nation can boast so
fine q record as be. 1t is something
to be proud Of. He describes 1t thus:
Il commenced voting the Republican
ticket when l was 10 years old. |
was then carrying musket from q
state which allowed its soldiers in
the field to vote, and we construed
that to mean that boy who was old
enough to carry a musket and stand
up to be shot at was old enough to
vote, and l have voted the Republic
can ticket straight ever since, and
for more than forty years, sometimes
l am frank to say, for men ! did not
like and who were not Of my choice,
but justified on the theory that in the
long run, the meanest Republican is
far better than the average Democrat
or Independent, and never in my
life voted for Democrat, Popul:st,
Independent or fusion candidate"

LLOYD & BELKNAP,

Fort Riley's Gathering.

The mobilization of troops at Fort
Riley during the next two weeks
promises to be OF much value to the
army. The methods Of the past have
prevented the officers from obtaining
experience in handling large bodies
Of soldiers. The limited number at
each post and the lack Of any ar
rangements for collecting many com.
psnies for field practice made it i'm.
possible that such opportunity could
be obtained.
The modern plans Of the War de-
partmeut change the old order and
contemplate q broader and more lib
eral education for both officers and
men. Following the naval maneuvers
Of the summer off the New England
coast, the army is to have a presenta-
ton on . large scale Of the art Of war
fare in q manner as novel as 1t 10
practical. Not alone the movement
Of men will be exempli6ed but the
multiiarious duties Of camp-life
where thousands Of meh are cared
for are to be made a study. Had
there been a better understanding Of
the needs and duties Of camp during
the summer Of 1898, it is probable
that much less complaint would have
come from the regiments stationed
in the south. This experience will be
practical in every sense Of the word
and should result in a wider knowl-
edge Of army life. There will also be
tests OF guns, trials Of balloon-signal-
ing and kindred opportunities for the
development Of the soldiers educa-
ton. At the same time the militia
Of several states will have companies
in camp while the more remote COM
monwealths will send their chief Off
GERS OF the national guard that they
may grasp the full lesson conveyed.
Thus the teaching will be nation
wide and cannot fail to have a result
ant effect in the betterment OF the
military duty east and west. No
better place could be selected for the
maneuvers. Fort Riley, in addition
to being situated almost in the exact
center Of the nation, has the largest
area within the post boundaries Of
any OF the western forts. 1t has,
since the DAYS Of Sheridan, been the
seat Of the artillery and cavalry
schools and the fact that congress
has appropriated nearly a million
dollars for its further improvement
indicates that 1t will become q most
important post.
These maneuvers are but the be-
ginning, and the number Of soldiers
is lessened by the short notice given.
Next year it is expected that fully
10000 troops will take part in the
mock war while the national guard
will add 10000 more, making a mag.
nificent spectacle.

The Belleville Telescope Is sitting

railroad, which was to be capitalized

has been . good deal Of tree trade
Cannon yet sfoot BY Democrats who
pretend to be Republicans. 1t is
time to stopit. At the beginning Of
the year there was q mysterious push
put In motion for so.cailed tariff re-
vision. The object was to rip up the
tariff for Democratic advantage. No
tariff could work better than the
Dingley law. The master hands in
framing 1t were those Of President
Mckinley and Congressman DiIgley.
They understood their business. They
we're prudent, seasoned statesmen.
Not the slightest reason exists why
the Dingley tariff should be changed
in any particular at this or any near
period. 1t has been . great factor in
restoring and extending prosperity
But for the increasing revenue 1t pro-
duces as the country grows there
would be q treasury deficit. Its in.
crease in customs receipts at this
time is all that prevents the treasury
from running steadily behind. Not
one Of it's schedules can be assailed
except by imputations applying to
the whole law, and not one Of its pro-
visions would be altered without a
free trade howl Of delight over the
fact that breach had been made
at last and the business world
alarmed by the prospect Of general
tariff ripping, with another era Of
free trade calamity"

Not only has the association magnl-
fed the idea of the Sabbath school
and brought to light the Importance
of the Sabbath school, but it has done
much to increase the number OF
schools in the work at large. Without
the organization being maintained as
We see it sometimes in some locali-
ties. the tendency is that the leaders
become discouraged and not realizing
the Importance of the work they grow
slack with reference to that work.
We do not mean to insist on it that
| the organization is the end to be
reached, for it is but the means to
an end. The Sabbath school with Its
high purpose is the end to attain. the
purpose of the Sabbath school is tc
lead souls to Christ and send out
workers for Christ. The organization
of the association comes in simply tc
stimulate Bible study for the workers
look after the spiritual needs of the
workers, and furnish them with the
| best methods for doing that work.
