this important subject. said. 1T Is q m,s-
take to suppose that the Democrats, will

destroy tho tariff system at one fcii swoop.
On the contrary they would be content
with removing few bricks from the top OF
the tariff wall The trust legislation OF the
past session amounts TO nothing, aud the
trust and the tariff questions are so inter
woven that one cannot be considered with
out the other. The trusts have succeeded
in destroying all competition in their own
line Of industry. that Is all domestic com
petition. The tariff saves them from all
foreign competition and the result Is that
the people are compelled TO pay for the
very neccssaries Of life whatever prices
the trusts may demand. Publicity amounts $
to nothing as remedy. Witness the

Democratic candidate. Senator Bacon said
he would not care to discuss individuals
but the nominee must be acceptable TO
New York and other states from which IL
was expected TO get support. With regard
to the dissension in Democratic ranks MIR.
Bacon said that Ia was folly 10 quarrel
over past events. In .his judgment the
increased production OF gold had obviated
the necessity OF the free silver issue but IL
was unwise even to discuss the causes and
the rights OF past contentious. The i'm.
portant point now was to meet existing
conditions with the proper remedies and a
popular candidate.

a ex-President Cleveland whose proposed

OF many Democrats. Mr.. Cleveland, on

exposition and will there speak from the
same platform as President Roosevelt. Il
is intimated that II his reception at Saint
Louis IS sufficiently cordial he will extend
his trip further west and invade the very
heart OF the country which gave TO Mr..
Bryan his strongest support In the
judgment OF those Democrats who can be
seen in Washington there Is no possibility
OF Nr Clcvelands regaining the favor OF

Chicago Street Car Men Will Present
Demands

Chicago, Feb. 11.-By action taken
by the employees of the Chicago City
Railroad company a general strike on
all lines of that system is made posi-
BILE. The union has formulated an
ultimatum to be presented to General
Manager McCulloch, and if he shall
decline to grant any of the requests
contained therein, the committee
which will wait upon him will report
back to the union in favor of a strike
on all the lines of the company
This strike will affect not alone the
cable splicers. barnmen and shopmen,
but also the motormen, gripmen and
conductors, and will effectually tie up
every transportation line on the South
Side except the Galley L." The
chances of General Manager McCul-
1och acceding to the demands of the
street car men are thought to be small
and the men fully expect to strike.

French Governor Sends Word Of the
South Sea Horror TO Paris.

wa
Paris, Feb. 1.-THE governor of the
French dependencies in the South Pa
citic has cabled to the colonial office
that "cyclone has devastated the
Tuamotu group of islands," forming a
dependency of the French possession
of Tahiti, Society islands. The gov
ernor adds that he is proceeding to
the relief of the sufferers.
The dispatches received here from
the United States contain practically
all the information furnished to the
French officials and public concerning
the tidal wave disaster in the Society
islands, though these have been sup
plemented by brief official notifications
to the colonial Office. These advices,
however, give no details of the loss of
life
The Patrie refers to the disaster as
rivalling that of the islands of Marti-
nique, but owing to the absence of d.
rect advices the catastrophe in the So
ciety islands has not yet excited wide
spread attention here

larging the main wing of the capitol
The notable feature of the general de-
bate on the bill was a speech by Mr.
De Almond (Mo) on the Hanna bill

sarcastic. vein, but the subject as
sumed a serious phase when Mr.. Rich
ardson {Tenn.) said that adventures
in the South were using the bill to i'm
pose On ignorant, credulous negroes
and called on Mr.. Cannon to give as
surance that the passage of such a

CRITICIZE THE UNION. 1
Counsel for Operators Score Mine
Workers Organization.

Philadelphia, Feb. 1.-THE United
Mine Workers ofIAmerica, as an or
ganlZation, was severely scored during
the day by counsel before the anthra-
cite coal strike commission, The non
union men, through their attorney,
John T. Lenahan, presented their side
OF the controversy and demanded con-
sideration at the hands Of the COM
mission, claiming the legal right to
earn a livelihood as they might elect
without the consent or dictation of the
union. During his presentation Of the
case Mr.. Lenahan denounced the union
as fomenter of. crime and anarchy.
The main feature of his argument was
the claim that the union had no legal
or moral right to cOerce miners into
membership or to arrogate to itself
the authority to fix the wages of mine
workers.
Recognition of the Union.
James H. Torrey, counsel for the
Delaware and Hudson company:
claimed that the question of recogni
ton of the union was not an issue be-
fore the commission, but he devoted
considerable time to the consideration
of that demand. He asserted that
violence and intimidation were agen-
cies for the promotion Of the purpose
of the mine workers. Regarding the
demand for an eight-hour working day,
Mr.. Torrey said the evidence showed
that for various reasons the breakers
did not average more than eight hours
a day, SO that the physical effects of
long hours were not felt.
Major Everett Warren, counsel for
the Hillside Coal and Iron company
and the Pennsylvania Coal company,
answered the demands of the miners
in detail and declared the socialistic
theories of the union, or some of it's
leaders, to be responsible for unrea-
sonable claims.
