tons of the experience of others whc

to part belligerents, assumed the role OF
peacemaker in Lincoln, Neb., yesterday.

attempted to part two men who were
bent on pounding each other. Mr..

The driver Pratt was the worst hurt
OF the living.
The President at once directed that
Craig's body be cared for, and sent ahead
couriers to prevent cheering and to al :
nounce that he would go at once to his
train which had been sent ahead to Stock
bridge. The President stopped for a
few minutes at the Hotel Aspinwall,
where the party was to have had luncheon
and made the brief announcement to the
people who were silently gathered on the
steps. He alighted from the carriage
and walked a few steps clearly under
great mental distress. AT the first
step he turned and said to the
people: 1--WE have met with an acct
dent: one Of the party, a faithful friend,
has been killed, Our driver Is undoubt-
edly fatally injured. Under the cir
cumstances il is of course impossible for
me to say more to you than that !

DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN BOOK.

The democratic congressional commit
tee today made public its campaign text
book for use in the fall elections. 1t
embraces wide range of subjects, COW
ering all the issues Of the day from i'm
perialism to the Rebecca J. Taylor case
in the War Department and the assault
upon Attorney General Knox recently
at Atlantic City. Mention of the latter
subject is made in connection with the
division of republican opinion upon the
anti-auarchy bill, which passed the
Senate and which, the book says, is re-
pudiated by the best lawyers on both
sides in the House of Representatives.
1t adds "a bill under which Mr. Cramp
would have been hung for treason for
striking Attorney General Knox at At
lantic City ON the 9TH of August, 1902"
A large portion of the book is devoted
to discussion Of imperialism and the
tariff and trusts. The former occupies
first place in the volume following the
democratic platform of 1900 and the
chapter in reply to the statements con-
tanned in the republican campaign book.
One-third of the entire book is de
voted to the consideration of the tariff
and the trusts. The latter, it is plainly
asserted. are the result of the high pro-
tective tariff.
Several pages of the book are devoted
to a Photographic reproduction of the
special discount sheet of New York ex-
porting house, showing the reduced
prices at which American goods are sold
abroad, compared with the prices which
consumers at home are compelled to pay.
Winfield Scott Schley is referred to as
''the victorious American admiral" and
"the republican conspiracy to degrade
and rob him of his well-earned laurels"
is denounced.

guest of Governor w. Murray Crane, of
Massachusetts,, last night, at s O'Clock

allow the stop, the Secretary was obliged
to refuse. He then received warning
that unless the President stopped yolun-
tarily his procession would be halted
by means of freight train drawn across
the street.

OHIO DEMOCRATS.

Sandusky, o., Sept. 3.-The demo-
cratic State convention here today was
thoroughly for Mayor Tom johnson of
Cleveland and the Mclean crowd made
no attempt at control johnson arrived
in the hall at 1920 and was given an
ovation. Chairman frey of the State
central committee called the convention
to order at 1926.
The speech of Tom L. Johnson, TEN
porary chairman of the State democratic
convention was, in part, as follows:
"The principles of democracy always
old but never obsolete, confrOnts us to-
day, both in local and in national ques-
tons. One of these national questions
relates to trusts. For this evil our adj
versaries advise publicity as the remedy.
Publicity? That mightprotect investors
against fraud; but how could it protect
the public against monopoly which Is
the basis of trusts. What is needed Is
not examinations of account books Ct
the trusts; it is the sweeping of monopo-
lies from the statute, books of the people.
"The money question is national also.
And let me tell you this isno dead issue.
So long as Wall street interests dictate
our financial policies the money question
cannot die.
eve have in national politics also tie
vital questions of sef-gOyernment. Shall
we continue to govern distant colonies
from Washington? That question also
is at bottom a monopoly question.
There would be no subject colonies if
colonies could give no monopoly fran
chises
"But national questions are not for US to deal
with in this state convention. The function
Of revising national platforms belong with
conventions chosen for national purposes.
Our functions so far as national questions are
concerned, begins and ends with an unmls-
taxable identification Of the Democratic party
Of Ohio with the democratic party Of the re-
public That can be done in good faith only
by accepting the authority of the latest ma
tional expression of party doctrine on nation
ii questions. In my judgement therefore,
this convention ought TO recognize the Kansas
City platform. 1t ought also to pay the
tribute of its respect to the great democrat.
WIN lldS III lNb Eithh 'Rnildi6h',
led us against the Republican party and its
allied hosts of non-partisan mOnopOlists."
Sandusky, O., Sept. 3.-The platform
adopted today by the democratic State
convention reafiirms and endorses the
"Kansas City platform, faithfully repre-
sented by William j. Bryan in the cam
paign of 1900" it opposes Imperialism,
coloniaIism, government by injunction,
trusts, and trust fostering tariffs. The
party in Ohio also wants home rule and
local self-government. A plank calls
for an equalization of taxation. All
public service corporations should be re-
quired by law to make sworn public re-
ports to be audited by public officers, so
that their value may be shown the
people. Government by injunction, the
platform declares, will wreck the liber-
ties of the people.

EDNEsDAY EVENING, SEPT. 3, 1902

MosT PEOPLE have but little faith IN
Presidents Roosevelts talk about regu-
la,ine trusts. The tenor of all he says
il uncertain, vague, unsatisfactory and
can be construed to suit subsequent con
J;tions. There is but one way OF reg
ulating" an evil and that is to extermi-
nate it. Statutes designed to regulate
trusts can be avoided in many ways by
the intricacies and technicalities OF law,
and with expert corporation barrlsters
nothing in the way of law can be for
mulated to mitigate the trust evil. a
terrible cancer is spreading over the
body polite. 1t needs extirpation-not
regulation-and the President Is bhi
beating the air when he talks of curb
bits and environments upon the com
mereial devilfsh of the day. To show
that the President has no real intention
of interfering with the trusts the follow
ing extracts from one of the speeches he
made yesterday are quoted:
"Butif by trust we mean merely a big
corporation, then | ask you to ponder
the utter folly Of the man who either IL
spirit of rancor or in a spirit OF folly
SAYS: Destroy the trusts without
giving you an idea of what he means
really to do. l will 60 with him if he
says destroy the evil in the trusts, gladly
| will try to find out that evil. | viii
seek to apply remedies, which l have
already outlined in other speeches. But
If his policy, from whatever motive
whether hatred, fear, panic, or just
sheer ignorance, is to destroy the trusts
in a way that will destroy all our pros
perity-no. y. Those men
who advocate wild and foolish remedies
which would be worse than the disease
are doing all in their power toperpetuate
the evils against which they nominally
war. =. Now it does not do
anybody any good, and it will do most
of us a great deal of harm, to take steps
which will check any proper growth IN
a corporation"

THE NAVAL MANEUvREs.

Fort Trumbull, Conn.,, Sept. S.-four
battleships-the Kearsarge, Indiana,
Alabama. and Massachusetts, made
sunrise attack this morning ON Fort
Wright, located on Fishers Island, Tor
the purpose of reducing it. During the
engagement, which lasted over an hour,-
the Indiana and Kearsarge were put out
of action by Fort Niche, which became
involved in the fight. Fort Wright was
in all probability reduced but this cannot
be determined until later. The head
quarters of Colonel Davis and signal
station Prospect Hill on Fishers Island,
werefi red upon and destroyed" 1t
was reported that the navy had succeeded
in effecting landing on the north side
of Fishers Island, butup to eight o clock
this could not be confirmed.
New Bedford, Mass, Sept. 3.-The
enemy attacked Fort Rodman at 8 O clock
this morning, the garrison responding
promptly. Owing to the haze, it was
impossible to learn the identity of the
vessels engaged but they were at least
four in number. The firing continued
for an hour. The enemy finally moved

NO ELECTION IN VERMONT.

Montpelier, VT, Sept. 9.-The repub-
lican State committee today concede there
is no choice in the election for Governor.
The regular republicans claim seventeen
out of the twenty-five Representatives in
Bennington county, the home of Nc
Cullough, the republican candidate for
Governor. They also claim a majority
of twenty for Mccullough on joint bal
lot in the legislature. The Senate will
be overwhelmingly republican and for Nc
Cullough. On this basis, Mccullough
will be chosen Governor when the ques-
ton of choice reaches the legislature.
A general idea of the situation may e
obtained when it is known that out OF one
hundred and twenty five cities and towns
Mccullough, republican, receives 10, l66

CARDINAL GIBBONS ILL.

An effort to get a statement from
Cardinal Gibbons Yesterday relative To
the elevation of Bishop Farley to succeed
the late Archbishop Corrigan, of New
York, met with the announcement ut
the archiepiscOpal residence in Baltimore
that he was sick and could not be seen.
From outside sources it was learned
that the cardinal became suddenly and
painfully i'll on Monday night. A hur-
ried call was sent for Dr. Charles O'Dono-
van, but the latter was in Atlantic City.
DIR. Edward F. Milholland was called
in and found the cardinal suffering
intensely from what the prelate thought
was lumbago. Though DR.. Millholland
declined to discuss the cardinal :
condition, it is learned that his
eminence was given hypodermic
injection of morphine and his
illness diagnosed as acute nephritis.
The cardinal is considered in no danger
unless the attack is recurrent. The dis
order made its appearance last week
during the retreat of the clergy Of Balti-
more, Philadelphia and Wilmington in
St. Mary's Seminary. Though well be-
yond middle age, Cardinal Gibbons en-
joys remarkably good health, and while
not of a robust nature, he takes daily
exercise and his gait has lost none OF Its
elasticity. 1t was reported last night
that Cardinal Gibbons is quite i'll. II
has been ascertained that the cardinal Is
suffering from calculus, and an opera
ton may be necessary. The expert IN
charge says something definite will be
known in the next twenty-four hours
