Is not war; it is vandalism, it is not
American, it is %barbarous. If not or
dered by the highest authority it
would never have been perpetrated
by American soldiers, except, per-
haps, in isolated cases.
The democrats believe in keeping
the military authority subordinate to
the civil power. No republic can exist
that does not do so. The democrats
intend to investigate these cruelties
when they have the power, and punish
the guilty, however high in command
They will investigate the expense ac'
counts, both at home, in the Philip
pines and in Cuba. The transport serv.
ice and the purchase of supplies viii
be investigated. They will find oul
who received the large sums that have
been raised by extreme taxtion and if
the money was squandered on high
living in Cuba and elsewhere. Who was
fixed" to stay out of politics and who
was aided to stay in. What secret in
trigue set free the Hanna pets, Rath-
bone and Nicely? Why Buen Canine
was ordered by the administration to
come to this country to testify, when
the request of the democrats for other
witnesses was refused? A page might
be filled with other details that will
be investigated and from the amount
of evidence that has been forced to the
surface there is a vast amount behind.
To do this the democrats must elect
a majority of the next house of repre-
%sentatives and this they will do, if the
people agree with them that the cur
tain should be raised and the truth
known.
No wonder the republicans are or
the defensive and are e~ndeavoring to
switch the thoughts of the people
from their misdoings by claiming that
the army is being attacked. They
know, however, that it is the orders
issued to the army that is the main
point and the officers, of the army, for
their own honor and reputation, an6
the honor of the United States will
welcome the change.

To Down the Trusts,

Public sentiment in favor of that
simple and effective form of antitrust
legislation which will remove the du-
ties on all articles controlled by the
more evil trusts gains strength and
volume day by day. There is a feeling
that this is the only practical way in
which the trusts can be successfully
fought. The truth is known that the
monopoly trusts could not exist but
for the high protective tariff which
creates their monopolies. The further
truth is known that the American peo-
pie pay the gigantic tax imposed by
reason of the high tariff which thus
fosters and enriches the trusts. This
makes plain the manner in which the
trusts are to be overcome. The tariff
duties on all articles controlled by the
monopolistic corporations must be re-
moved.-St. Louis Republic.

SPOKE AT A BANQUET.
Mr. Reid ERtertains Liverpool Americas
Chamber of Commerce No Dan
ger From Morgan's Venture.

Liverpool, July 17.-Speak.n3 at q
banquet given tonight n his hrnor
by the American chamber Cf COM
merce, Whitelaw Reid, the head of
the United States embassy to the
coronation oS King Edward, cUngrat-
ulated the country upon the rapid
recovery of the king. Referring to
the conclusion of peace in South Arr
ca, Nh. Reid said:
at has now become plain that this
peace is to be permanent, that the
toalescing of The hostile parties is to
lie genuine, and that, rs in the case
Of our civil war, there is to rise from
the battlefelds Of two determined
and worthy foes a compact, united
power, embodvrng both and greater
than both. Your amnesty was fol-
lowed only a few weeks later by
ours.
IF you have sustained the threat
ened dangers of recent years, you
can surely face with equanimity the
terrors of the Pierpont Morgan ven-
ture. 1 suggest that the apprehension
aroused by the recent change in
shipping with which his name is
identified is somewhat exaggerated.
"Your power to secure at will for
The navy as many cruisers al ever,
seems to be not in the least i'm
periled. If built in your shipyards,
such vessels are forbidden to pass I'M
der our flag by a law almost as old
as our history and almost as hard to
change as our constitution. If you
accept the gloomiest view regarding
the future control of the Atlantic
carrying trade, it does not follow
that New York would use that con-
troll to weaken the port most import
ant to it, namely, Liverpool. Even
monopolies are not supposed to thrive
by damaging their best customers.
Besides, the monopoly in this case is
fanciful. None has been created, l
think, none is desired, and | know
none can long be successful"
II do not for a moment admit the
possibility Of war between our two
nations" said Mr., Reid. Mature re-
volts against it, and all the interests
Of that vast body of English-speak-
ing peoples who in both hemispheres
lead the world upward forbid it."

Greensboro, KY, July 1S.-John An
d~erson, a farmer, who vas in Jail
here, charged with the murder of
his wife, on the night of July s, was
taken from prison by a masked mob
of about 40 men and hanged to u
beam over the city scales on one of
the principal streets of Greensboro,
at about $3.50 o'clock Thursday morn
ing. The lynchers, who ara supposed
to have come from the scene Of An
derson's alleged crime, about three
miles west of Greensboro, made their
entrance into the city quietly, and
going to the Jail demanded admit
lance, which was refused. They then
battered down the prison door, and
while some went to the prisoners
cell to lead him out, others of the mob
surrounded the iailer and his family
to prevent them from giving the
alarm. Anderson was soon secured,
and in a few moments vas led across
the street from the prison, where a
rope was placed about his neck and
he was hanged to a beam over a pair
of scales. The mob then dispersed
quietly. No arrests have been made.
Anderson was the first white man
ever lynched in Daviess county. At
the time the murder, with which he
was charged, was con mitted, Anderson
and his wife had been separated for
about seven weeks, and Mrs. Ander-
son was living at her fathers house,
whittier Anderson went for the al
legged purpose of affecting a reconcil-
iation. The woman's father, it Is
said, entered some objections, and the
lrate husband then dragged his wife
into the yard and shot her to death.
He was arrested shortly after the

With a flourish of trumpets it is an
nounced that Representative Little
field, of Maine, is preparing a bill for
the regulation of trusts and combina-
tions in restraint of trade. The repub-
lican press takes particular pains to
add that this bill is being prepared at
the particular request of President
Roosevelt, and with amusing eager
ness the public is assured that Repre-
sentative Littlefield is a good lawyer.
All this claptrap goes in very nicely
with the statement that the president
and Attorney General Knox are to
make speeches in favor of restrictive
laws. And, meantime, n can only
wonder whether there are any people
remaining who are deceived with this
fake antitrust aggressiveness, and il
there are, how long they will remain
so.-Buffalo Enquirer.

THOUGHT THEY HAD TRACY.
Sheriff Cudihee and His Guards Lo-
ate Him in n Cabin, but He
Gives Them the Slip.

Seattle, Wash, July 17.-Sheriff
Cudihee last night located Harry
Tracy, with two companions, in a
lonely cabin, three-quarters of a
mile from the junction of the North
ern Pacifc's Palmer cutoff and the
Columbia & Puget Sound road. Cudi-
hee, with six guards, waited until ten
o'clock this morning for Tracy or
other of his compartment to come from
his cabin.
Growing impatient the sheriff or.
dered an attack upon the place, and
the guards closed in, firing as they
advanced. No a sound came from
the cabin and the guards found the
place empty. 1t is believed that the
outlaws crept out one by n from
their place of Imprisonment during
the darkest hours of the morning.

The News mt San Francisco.

San Francisco, July 20.-The new
of the death of John W. Mackay in
London caused quite a shock here,
Notwithstanding the public were in a
measure prepared for it by the previ-
Gus announcement of his illness. Mr..
Mackay was the last surviving men,
Der of the four bonanza kings, Flood,
O'Brien and Fair, the other three,
having long since died. For the past
IS years Mr.. Mackay had not been
actively identified with the life of this
city, but had passed most of his time
in the east, making annual visits to
the coast to look after his property
interests in this state and Nevada. On
the occasion Of his last visit to this
city, early this summer, Mr.. Mackay
completed arrangements for a land
ing place for the new Pacific cable, a
project that he was much interested
in.
Mr. Mackay came to California in
1851, via Panama. He at once en-
tered a mine, working with pick and
shovel in the placers of the American
river, and at Downieville. In 1859 he
went to Virginia City, New, and be-
gan mining on the Comstock with
varying success. His first real start
toward success was made when he be-
came superintendent of the Kentucky
mine in Gold hill. In 1868 Mackay
formed a partnership with Flood,
O'Brien and Fair. In 1871 this IA
nous mining quartette purchased the
site of the Bonanza territory north
of the Ophir mine, on the celebrated
Comstock ledge. They began work
on a lode abandoned by Sharon and
other large operators. The enterprise
was a fruitful source of ridicule In
mining circles, nothing but financial
disaster being freely predicted. With
out losing heart or patience the four
men continued ~expending half a mil
lion dollars in prospecting operations.
The ledge was struck and over $780,
900, 900 were added to the worlds
stock of precious metals.
