HANNA AND HEATH TO RESIGN
Republican National Committee +
Have New Officers.


Washington. Oct. 2S.--The announce

gnia that the republican national COM
mittee would meet here early in De-

ator Hanna's health will not permit
him to conduct the campaign next year.
If the present program is carried out,
Governor Crane, of Massachusetts, will
be Mr.. Hannas successor.
It has already been decided that the
secretary of the committee, Perry S.
Heath. of Utah, formerly of Indiana,
and first assistant postmaster general
in the Mckinley administration, must
go, and that he must go at once. 1t is
now known positively that. unless the
statute of limitations can be made to
intervene. Heath will be indicted and
prosecuted for alleged illegal practices
while an official of the postoffice de-
partment.
The presidents friends have been ia
vorable to the selection of Harry s.
New, of Indianapolis, as Heath's sue
cessor as secretary of the national COM
mittee, but this matter may depend
somewhat on the choice of a chairman.
If Senator Hanna should decide to
remain, Mr.. New would be selected as
soon as Heath was removed, but 1t Is
possible that il the new chairman
should be Governor Crane, he might in

in the place. This possibility has Civ

nary army in the vicinity of Blue Rap
IDS, when the Eighth and Tenth cav
airy and squadron OF the Fourth cav
airy and a battery OF artillery, under
Lieutenant Colonel Kings bury, Eighth
cavalry, swooped down and made
things disagreeable. BY the terms OF
the military problem the force under
kingsbury was not supposed to be
strong enough to gather in the entire
train, but his attack was made with
the object of intiic ting as much damage
as possible on the train and of holding
1t stationary until hypothetical rein
forcements should arrive and enable
him to bag the entire outfit. The attack
on the head convoy soon brought 1t to
a stop. and while the infantry went
forward to open the road, the troops
pressed in as closely as possible, while
the fire of the battery did much to Kill
mules and cripple wagons.
Lieutenant Colonel Longhborough,
however. after the first halt of the
train. pushed ahead with all possible
speed and the problem was ended by
the umpires With wagons unchecked
and the attacking force still hanging
on, creating all possible trouble.

this time and unfortunately the repub-

An amusing incident came up tbs

protested and said that others sholsld

The decision of the Iowa supreme
court yesterday in what is known as
the Brady case will be of more inter-
est to the lawyers of the state and to
all who have to do with the punish
ment of certain classes of crime than
any case that has been passed upon at
this term The decision is on re-
hearing. At a former session of the
court Justice Weaver prepared and
rendered a decision in which he mad
vertently laid down a rule of law which
nearly all the lawyers declare would
have resulted in much embarrassm
if adhered to- 1t virtually destroyed
the old principle of possession of
stolen property being presumptive evi-
and entering a building, where it was
also shown that the theft and the bur-
glary were at the same time and place.
At the request of a large number OF
lawyers Attorney General Mullan asked
for a rehearing and he made an elo-
quent plea for a change in the ruling.
The supreme court did not exactly re-
verse itself. but in the decision jus.
rendered the rule is modified to meet
the general acceptance of this kind of
evidence. Attorney General Mullan
says that the rule as now stated is the
correct one and it will be accepted by
the bar of the state as entirely salts
factory. 1t seems probable that the
former decision was made without full
consideration of the Effect on other
cases, tho in this particular Brady case
from Polk county il fitted exactly.
Lawyers are saying that the court
showed its wisdom in promptly restat-
ing the whole matter so that there wik
be no embarrassment to the courts OF
the state.

suIIivan's Speech.

Jerry Sullivan began speaking at
1870 o'clock and delivered mostly his
set speech which he gave at the open
ing of the campaign. making an excep-
ton only in his reference to railway
assessments. II Mr. Sullivan hoped
to change republicans to the democratic
faith he had an excellent opportunity
for very large number of we'll known
republicans gave him respectful hear
ing. He is good campaigner and held
his audience for one hour and half,
Mr.. Sulliyan's contention against the
assessment of railways was not In
creased in the past year as II increased
farm land assessments. He also con
tends that railways are not assessed
what they ought to be according to
real value On the tariff, money mon
opoly and imperial issues he spent
most of his time
Sullivan said in part:
IN our own government two schools
of thought have at all times been in
existence. One, holding that the peo-
pie are unable to grasp the reins of
government and guide the destines of
this magnificent nation. The other,
that the people themselves are the
true source of all power and the basis
of all prosperity. In the tme school OF
thought l find the moto of equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none. I find constitution as the
guiding star and true democracy as
the anchor Of hope.
In the other / witness as the key
stone centralized government, dom-
mated by force. l am taught to believe
by Its teachings, that the people are
not the supreme source OF power. that
the electorate is not the place to set
tie questions of public policy. that
government must be a guardian of the
people; that it is legitimate function
of government to levy tribute on one
citizen for the benefit of another, tha:
the use Of government msy be for the
advancement of one at the cost OF an
other
These schools cannot BE- united any
more than can oil and water. You
have the right in this day to know of
every man who comes before you ask
ing your suffrage, which school he at
tends. 1t Is not a question of political
power. 1t is one of com non interest.
1t is the right of the citizen to know
for whom, for what purpose. and by
what measures he shall be governed
1t is not question of party, but Of
policy; not men but measures, and [
wish as an humble citizen of this mag
nificent state of ours. to discuss with
you few of the matters that / be-
lieve vitally affect your interest and
mine, and in the end hope to assist
you In arriving al a correct conclu-
sion.
