Opening of the Fusion Cam
paign in Topeka.
Made Up in Enthusiasm What
1t Lacked i'm Numbers.
CRADDOCK'S SPEECH.
Defended His Course as Mayor
Of Kansas City.
Mayor Reed, of Missouri.
Helped Him Along.

The grand opening of the Populist
campaign Saturday was sort OF
dog fall 1t was a disappointment to
the fusion leaders in point OF attend
ance, but what crowd there was show
ed a great deal of enthusiasm. 1t wasn't
q very good day for enthusiasm, either.
John W. Breidenthal, who used to run
the Populist campaigns in the palmy
days of the party. said plainly that
there had been too much Dragging
about the meeting beforehand.
1.-The way to do he said. lis to work
up your meeting quietly. Don't tell be-
forehand what big things you are going
to do, because that gives the other fell
lows a chance to circumvent you ana
the chances are against your succeed
ing. Do something first and then brag
about it afterwards. The way we used
to do was to make a date for meet
ing and then write to all the township
committeeman within reach of it to
bring in as big crowd as possible and
work up the enthusiasm. That's the
way we astonished the enemy. We
would get crowd of thousands where
they expected to get frost. and it
had a demoraliZing effect on them If
a storm came up or anything happened
to spoil our meeting they could not
glory over u.s..

ROOSEVELT ACCEPTS
President will Attend b. of L.
f. Convention at Chattanooga.

Peoria. ILL.,. Aug. 25.-"President
Roosevelt has honored labor" said
Grand Secretary Treasurer Frank w.
Arnold, of the Brotherhood Of LOcomo-
tive Ffremen, today. II have just re-
ceived a letter sent Acting Grand Mas
ter Hannahan by the president, in
which he accepts the invitation we ex-
tended few days ago in person. and
he will surely be at the biennial session
of the brotherhood at Chattanooga.
Il think it is a noteworthy matter,
continued Mr.. Arnold. 1T is quite sig
nifcant for it is recognition of labor by
the president of the United States that
we must not lose sight of. We feel that
the presidents acceptance of our in
vitation and the assurance that he will
be present will be received throughout
the entire country with a feeling OF
satisfaction. Our members and friends
will see that a president is man, just
like one of u.s."
The acceptance Of President Roose-
velt is as follows:
Oyster Bay. N. Y. Aug. o.
MY Dear Sir. Referring to the in
terview had by Mr.. Arnold and you
rected by the president to say that he
has concluded to accept the kind invi-
tation of the brotherhood of Locomotive
Firemen to be present at their biennial
convention at Chattanooga, Tenn, on
September 8, next, and that 1T will give
him great pleasure to be present. Very
truly yours, (signed),

master B. of L. F.

has been advanced so per cent; that
every time they have driven nail or
purchased a bolt. bought reaper or
invested in plow, they have been COM
PEELED to pay tribute to this Goliath OF
a trust. They are not clamoring for
more information. but less extortion.
They do not look for relief in published
statements OF profits, but IN Iree ana
institution. and unprotected by any
tariff wall"
Mr. Reed further asserted that the
trusts sell their goods for less money
in Europe than they do in America, not
withstanding that freight has to be PAID
on them across the Atlantic, and ne
quoted from the testimony of President
Schwab of the steel trust before the In
dustrial commission, in support of this
statement. He also gave the following
comparative prices at which the trusts
sell the same goods in America and
Europe: Plows-American price, $14,
European, $12. Cultivators-American
price, $11; European, $11.40. Sewing
machines-American price, SIS to $z1;
European, $12 to $40.
Mayor Reed referred to the railroad
mergers" and predicted that the worst
trust yet would come when all the rail-
roads are combined under one gigantic
management, which will destroy COM
petition in freight rates, and when the
beef trust and others which buy the
farmers products are SO combined that
they will be BILE to control the price 1or
what he pays for transportation and for
the things which he buys.
EVENING MEETING.
AT the evening session of the open
ing" David Overmyer presided, and j.
D. Botkin, candidate for congressman
at-large, and John H. Atwood. of Leav-
enworth, were the orators. The size OF
the crowd was about the same as at the
afternoon meeting, but there were more
Topeka people present than during the
afternoon Many of the Kansas City
contingent returned home at 6 o'clock
but their places were filled by local
Mr.. Botkin followed up the railroad
taxation question. Mr.. Atwood did the
same thing. 1t seems to be evident that
the assessment of railroads is to be one
of the chief issues of the coming cam
paign.
In beginning his speech Mr.. Atwood
said: You have all read of one John
crying in the wilderness. Well. am
John, and Topeka is the Wilderness.
Then he went on to intimate in a very
courteous sort of way that Topeka is
something of a solitude for fusion
| meeting, and that when the fusion.
leaders come here they can mediate in
undisturbed tranquility.
Atwood is easily one of the foremost t
orators of any party in Kansas, and his
! address Saturday night was vigorously
| applauded.

TO BE PUNISHED.
Chinese Government Sorry About the
Killing of Missionaries,

Peking. Aug. 25.-An edict has been is
sued ordering the murderers of an En-
glish missionary named Lewis and an
Australian missionary named Bruce to be
punished. The crimes were committed at
Chen-Chou, in Hu-Nan province. The
government expresses deep regret at the
occurrence, and promise to make repara-
ton.
It is reported that the murders were
the outcome of an outburst of supersti-
tious frenzy on the part of the populace,
based upon the idea that the mission
aries in question had caused an epidemic
of cholera which is raging at Chen-Chou,
by poisoning drinking water. The mob
wrecked the mission building and murder
ed the missionaries, who had but recent
ly arrived at Chen-Chou, where they
were cordially welcomed.

Coke For Three DAYS.

Sharon, Pa, Aug. 25--The coke situa-
tion in this valley has been relieved to
such an extent that it is not likely that
any of the blast furnaces here or at
Sharpsville will be obliged to close down
for several days. A prominent furnace
operator said today that the trouble is
not with the railroads but with the coke
manufacturers, who are sending their pro-
duct to the east to relieve the shortage
caused by the anthracite strike. Suffi-
cient coke was received here yesterday
to keep all the stacks in operation for
Y hours at least and the operators are
hopeful that before the supply is exhaust
ed the condition will have changed for
the better.

Mayor Reed talked about local mu-
nicipal issues in the two Kansas Citys
and complimented Mayor Craddock fo4
a time, and then took up the trust ques.
ton. He said the Republicans had en-
acted the Sherman antitrust law and
had promised great things in the way OF
destroying the trusts, but had never
used it except for campaign purposes;
that now the Republican remedy is
publicity" He then referred to the
steel trust; said it had issued waterea
stock to the amount of $500 600 000 and
made net profits last year approximate
ing $40. 600 900. He also alleged that
the trust has put up the price on every
thing into which its product enters.
I'VE are satisfied it has made these
gigantic profits he said, because it
has advanced the price of every kind
of steel and iron. from carpet tacks to
the immense steel girders for the bridges
that span our rivers. The farmers know,
without the aid of any published state
ments. that the price of barhed wire
