A statement which is being repeat
edly made by republican spellblnders
calls for an emphatic denial by every
one interested in the truth of history.
refel to the statement that the
panic of 1884 was result of the
passage of the Wilson bill by the
democratic Congress. There proba-
bly, was never a more widely repeated
falsehood, nor one that is more gener-
ally believed, and yet it is matter of
common knowledge, to every official
and every correspondent who was IN
Washington at that time, that the
panic was under way and bound to
come before President Harrison left
the White House. In fact, the bonds
for a popular loan to restore the gold
reserve had been engraved before
Mr.. Harrison left Washington. On
leaving Washington after his first term
Mr.. Cleveland lett large surplus In
the Treasury. On returning for his
second term he found a deficit. Thi:
statement may be verified by the
treasury reports. The Wilson bill
which has been credited with costing
the country more than the Civil War
was productive OF far more revenue
than the Mckinley bill, the higl
schedules of which had actuall!

so little regard for his self-respect
as to present his name in the nomi-
mating convention.
Fake and Kain of York shared a
similar fate. Alter Fake had been
defeated for the nomination, he
made application for admission to
the York county bar. His knowl-
edge of the law seemed sufficient
but one of the examiners who is
evidently endowed with a discrimi-
mating conscience, refused to sign
the certificate on the ground that
Fakes moral character is not such
as lawyer ought to possess. This
examiner is right. A lawyer is
supposed to be true to his client,
but If man will deliberately betray
his state into the hands of its
enemies, what might he not do with
helpless client2
Instead of turning down their
bad men, the Republican ringsters
have renominated them both in

Instead of having him indicted in a

have made Tom Garvin one of the
secretaries of the state committee.
The chief stenographer of the
House swore on the witness stand
that the records of the Legislature
at the last session were falsified re-
peatedly by the orders of Garvir
acting under Speaker Marshal
both of whom took solemn oatf
to perform their duty faithfully
The testimony of the chief steno
grapher has never been disputed
and yet Garvin is one of the secre

A FATAL MEAL.
The Untimely Ending of n Crow Who
Swallowed u Centiped.

"Saw curious thing in California
last winter" said the man who travel
els about. 81 had stopped for mo-
ment TO chat with man who was
blowing, when he called my attention
to a large centiped that he had just
plowed up.
"'Come along with me a few feet
said he, and let's see what those crows
will do when they find it.
There were several large carrlon
crows that had been following the
farmer and picking up the insects that
were turned up, and they were now
few feet away, waiting for the plow to
start again.
1--WE went on few feet, and the
crows followed. One big black fellow
soon saw the centiped and swallowed
him at one gulp. Then, In the express
sive slang of the day, there was some
thing doing in the neighborhood OF
that crow. With a cav of despair he
mounted into the air for perhaps a
hundred feet, then fell heels over head
| till he was q few feet from the ground,
Then he managed to catch himself and
flew upward again and away for the
hills, cawing wildly. He had not gone
more than 300 feet when he lost al
control of himself and fell like a sho,
to the ground. We went over to where
he had fallen and found him on his
back with his feet in the air, stone
dead.
"In n way 1 know how that crow
felt when he awoke to the situation
I hadn't forgotten my first spoonful o.
tabasco sauce that joking friend once
talked me into swallowing."-Detroi

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause Of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
| it and set the matter right.

again result in diminished customs
receipts and the necessity for an issue
of bonds would again arse. In tact
at the present time the Government
is showing slight daily deficit. These
are the facts which have gwen a GER
tain impetus to the demand TO- re-
duction of the tariff schedules although
the public will be led to believe that
the demand comes entirely from a
desire to curtail the power of the
trusts. AS indicative OF the republl-
can custom of slipping out of tight
places, the remark made yesterday
by republican editor is interesting
"If we see signs OF a break IN the
present prosperous conditions before
1904" he said, "we will let the demo-
Gratis win in that year and then the
brunt of the hard times will be charged
to them. In 1908 we will elect Mr..
Roosevelt, or whomever else we
please, and the democrats will never
again be heard of 1t would be a
big sacrihce, but the republican orga-
nization is perfect enough to make
it."
The report has gone forth that the
railway presidents have been notineo
by the republican managers that the
coal strike must be ended or it viii
have a disastrous effect on the tal
elections. The presidents will sum
mon the entire Pennsylvania militia
if necessary, and final attempt t'
break the strike and incidentally th'
union will be made. If this attempt
does not prove successful, however
the presidents will accede to the de
mands of the union-for the present.

WASHINGTON.
From our Regular Correspondent.


Washington, September I, 1902.
Who coached the President is the
question which leading Democrats
are asking each other this week. No
one gives Mr.. Roosevelt credit for
the exceptionally able politics which
he has displayed in his speeches in
New England and all are wondering
who is the power behind the throne.
The extent to which the public will
be taken in by the speclous arguments
advanced is another matter of interest.
Viewed from the standpoint of the
politician, Mr.. Roosevelt's scheme tor
Federal control of the trusts is a
mastery conception. In the first
place, it is pointed out, nothing along
that line can be done without an
amendment to the constitution and in
the meantime the trusts will have time
to so strongly intrench themselves as
to be practically unassailable. In the
second place, If the President is sue
cessiul in leading the attention of the
people away from practicable lines
and into the realms OF constitutional
amendment he will, at least for the
time being, preserve from further at
tack the all essential Dlngley tariff
schedule, the revision of which is SC
strongly demanded by the western
members of his party And, looking
into the future, if the republican
party can succeed IN securing for the
President, by constitutional amend
ment and congressional legislation
the control of the trusts, it will have
converted his Office into an autocracy
which will render it almost impossible
to unseat president elected by tha
party. The whole trend OF the Roose
welt administration, say leading Demo
Gratis, has been along the line OF con
centration of power in the White
House. The attainment of the ent
advocated by the President would b.
the elimination of that policy. 1t /
generally believed, however, that The
American people are too shrewd t,
be nised and that they will recognz
that the present incumbent of tn
, White House, even if he be himsel
, honest, is a menace to America
ideals and to liberty and that in thi
instance he is being made the tool c
men who are far his superiors in fore
| cast and sagacity. "Imagne," said

1 type, will become the logical exponel

served to decrease the customs re-
ceipts because they put d severe
check on importation. The inordln-
ately high tariff of the Mckinley bill,
republican extravaganza, and possibly
the Sherman bill, passed by repub-
Iican Congress, were the real factors
which combined to produce a panic
which had its inception during the
Harrison administration but which
reached its climax after Mr.. Cleve.
lands Inauguration. In the light OF
the actual facts, republican cant about
the danger of entrusting tariff revision
to the democratic party falls very
fiat.

The rememembrance of the Incl
dent in American history above re-
ferred to is causing considerable anx-
iety to thinking republicans at the
present time. Although every effort
was made to take advantage of the
fact that a democratic administration
was in power when the height of the
panic was reached, and that, to a
large extent, the American public
was mlsled, those republicans who
we're permitted an insight INTO the
actual state of affairs in the Treasury,
realized that the Mckinley tariff was
too high TO produce revenue and that
the credit of the country was main
tanned only by the reduction OF the
schedules accomplished by means of
the Wilson bill, 1t became necessary
however, for the success of the repub-
llcan party to again increase the
schedules in accordance with the de
mands Of the protected interests and,
therefore, the Dingley bill was passed.
AT the present time history is showing
tendency to repeat itself. The
country is enjoying an unusual pros
perity owing to the abundant agri-
cultural crops, but those who are IN
close touch with treasury affairs real.

prosperity, as a result of entirely
natural and unavoidable causes, woult

INCIDENTS
Connected With Capture Of
Malvar Recalled.

Washington, Nov. 19.-One Of the
Interesting chapters In the annual re-
port of Brigadier General ]. Franklin
Bell, operating in Batangas province,
deals with the events leading up to
the surrender Of Malvar, the famous
insurgent. At the time the campaign
was begun, the insurrectionary lead
ers and chiefs of guerillas from their
hiding places in the mountains and
forests conducted system of tax
alton, contribution and confscation.
which gave them complete control,
their agents in the vicinity Of every
pueblo and Barrio enforcing their
mandates with the dagger, or by
burying alive those natives who were
lacking in obedience to their COM
mands.
'The only way that could posi-
bly, put an snd to the insurrection, 4"
says Gen. Bell, was by cutting off the
income and food Of the insurgents
md by crowding them so persistently
with operations as to wear them out. "

PEACE

Mary SPECIAL and Her
Father
Had a Conference at Police
I Station-HostiIities Still On.

Some Of the most vigorous language
that ever passed between father and
daughter was uttered in Police head
quarters, Tuesday when Mary SPECIAL
aged 10, and her father, Michael Speg,
ial, were brought face to face. There
has been trouble between the SPECIAL
girl and her father, at their home, 302
Holloway st., for some time. Friday
evening, 1t is alleged, she was ordered
from the house after quarrel, and she
did leave the house next day, vowing
that she would never return. The
father also states that she threatened
to poison herself at that time.
Tuesday her brother, while passing
along South Main St, saw his sister
in the N. o. T. waiting room, where
she was talking with a young man with
whom 1t was known that she had been
keeping company. The brother, think
Ing that perhaps she was about to
leave the city, secured the assistance
Of Officer King, and had her taken to
Police headquarters, with the young
man who was with her. The latter
stated that he was about to leave Ak
ron for Grand Rapids and said that he
was merely bidding the girl goodby.
and that she had no intention of ac-
companying him.
The brother claimed that the girl
was not of age, and he urged the police
to hold her until her parents could be
notified. The father came in answer
to the summons and he and the girl had
hot argument for some time, which
resulted, finally. in the discovery by the
police that the girl is of age and has
been for nearly year.
Chief Durkin notified the father that
he would not hold her unless a charge
was preferred against her, and that
he could not prevent her going wher-
ever she pleased. as she was of age and
her own mistress. The girl and the
young man were released, and the
young fellow went back to get the next
car for Cleveland.
The girl was the coolest of them all
when they had the argument at Po-
lice headquarters, and after the father
had left her and hel companion said
that he had been frightened at the
vehemence with which the parent went
after him, she said "What do you
want to be afraid Of him for? l know
him and have known him for a long
time, and his words don't affect me-
