WATSON'S WORK.
REPUBLICAN MONEY BACK OF
THE POPULIST CAMPAIGN?

Though Thomas r. Watson in his
speech accepting the Populist nomina-
ton for President at Cooper Union,
New York, on August 10, said that
Roosevelt Stands for those government
tai principles which, in my judgment,
are hurrying this Republic into a sor-
did despotism of wealth." the full
speech is being sent broadcast as Re-
publican document.
The New York World states that
the Republicans are hoping by this
means to estrange "the voters of the
Bryan Democrats from the National
Democratic ticket"
"A Populist campaign in this state"
continues the World, "is to be made
with plentiful supply of funds, and
state organization, it is said. 1t is
openly intimated that there are not a
few Republicans who would subscribe
literally to the Populist cause, for the
purpose of DETECTING Bryan votes from
Parker"
''In this connection it is announced
that Thomas e. Watson is to deliver
forty speeches in doubtful states, and,
strangely enough, at the precise points
where they might be expected to do
most harm to the Democratic ticket.
Mr. Watson has been in frequent con-
sultation with a number of men here
about his plans. Some of these men
were formerly closely identified with
Bryan"
In connection with the efforts Of
Populists to aid Mr.. Roosevelt, Demo
Gratis are citing this trenchant para
graph from Mr.. Roosevelt's pamphlet
on the campaign of 1896:
Thrift, industry, and business en-
ergy are qualities which are quite in
compatible with true Populistic feel
ing. Payment of debt. like the sup
preston of riots, is abhorrent IT, lie
Populistic mind. Such conduct strikes
the Populist as immoral"

FAITH VS.. APPETITE.

Hon. Bourke Cochran, of New York,
in a speech, made recently before
Tammany Hall, characterized the diff
ference between Democracy and Re
publicanism in the following terse
language:
Democrats are party of principle
They follow principle and value
more than profit. Republicans have
differed more widely than Democrats
upon every question which has been
active in our politics. They have dif-
fered about the Philippines, about the
tariff the gold question, about CuOa,
about every single question which has
come before the public, but their diff
ferences never prevented them from
coming back as one man the moment
there was a chance of getting posses
sion of the Government, and putting
their fists into the Treasury. Demo
Gratis, ON the other side, have thrown
away prospects of success rather than
surrender their principles to which
they were committed. Democracy, in
fact, is. a faith, and Republcanism is
an appetite"

"Still," returned the doctor, Smiling
back into his chair, IL can't see"
I'm his pocket-book Darrell placed
slip Of paper stating that, if he met
with foul play, the coroner would
please recall that Lester Murgatroyd
had sworn to shoot him on sight; and
that, if the bullet that took barrels
life bore the letter M it would be
found to correspond with other car
tridges in Murgatroyd's revolver"
DR.. Payton drew a deep breath and
Merrick Strengthened out in his chair
thrust his hands into his trousers
pockets and peered at Darrell through
half-closed eyes.
"The bullet that killed Sturgis bore
such mark" said Payton, slowly. az
probed for it myself and it hasn't been
out of my possession since"
why in the fiend's name didn't you
tell me something about that?" asked
Merrick, his indignant eyes on the doc
tor
"The jury knew of it," answered
Payton. 1--WE all kept quiet about it,
hoping that something like this might
develop"
But what do we know about this
fellow" queried Merrick, Jerking his
head toward Darrell; "he's a stranger
in camp and his story may be cut out
Of whole cloth"
"A month has elapsed since the
shooting" went on Payton, addressing
Darrell. why have you kept silent sc
Ions?"
The delay was unavoidable" replied
Darrell.
Possibly, but the chances are it has
defeated the ends of justice providing
what you say is true. If we car find
Murgatroyd's revolver in his posses
sion, Merrick," the doctor added, turn
ing to the marshal, land il the re-
yolver, after these four weeks, is found
to contain the marked cartridges, this
man proves his case"
barrels heart leaped in his breast
He was sure of Murgatroyd's guilt and
the fact that the revolver would now
be found upon him-barring the tech
nical point that it had been out of his
prove his guilt.
The technical point, which Murga-
troyd could not prove without Darrel's
help, was the only thing that could
throw a cloud over barrels theory.
Darrell was just asking himself how he
should proceed in dealing with that
phase of the question when another
diversion occurred.
Roy Lenyard stepped into the room
and moved resolutely toward the group
sitting around the lamp on the desk.
"Mr. Merrick," said he, sharply, 81
requested you to wait below until l
rejoined you and the doctor"
Things happened up here, Len
yard" returned the marshal, that we
had to look after. There was a fight
of some kind, as you can see,"-Mer-
rick nodded toward the overturned
cabinet-"and Doc and l breezed in.
But that don't make no difference.
Here we are and if you've got card
up your sleeve now's your chance to
play it."
"Then," cried Lenyard, whirling on
Darrell and leveling a forefinger in his
direction, that man is Junius McCloud
and l demand that you put him under
arrest 1t was he, and not Nate Darrell,
that killed the man you know as Jack
Sturgis!"
"Holy Smoke!" roared the marshal,
on his feet in a second. "Why, he's
all but proved that Murgatroyd did it.
First thing know you fellows II have
it on to me-or Doc, there"

WOOL, COTTON AND sHODDY.

When the American farmer pays
one-third, more for farm machinery,
barbed wire, nails, binding Irvine and
a good many other things that he
buys than the same products are sold
for to the farmer In Europe, he dis
covers that high trust prices have
their drawbacks as well as their ad-
vantages. AS long as high prices
were confined to wheat, cotton and
corn, the farmer had the best of it,
but now the trusts have forced up
the cost of living, which includes near
ly everything the farmer does not pro-
duce, the profit made off the farm is
less than when prices, all around,
were much lower. The quality of
clothing is not nearly so good as it
was some years ago; the "all wool
and a yard wide" cloth is a thing of
the past; it is now nearly all cotton
and SO inches wide, as anyone can dis
cover by measuring it and picking
even what is called fine goods to
pieces and closely examining it. The
high protective duty on wool has led
the manufacturer to initiate wool with
cotton, so that only an expert can dis
cover the difference. This wonderful
apparent transformation of cotton is
called the mercerizing process, and
the combine that is producing it is
realizing vast profits. There is no
protective duty on cotton, so the diff
ference in price between cotton and
wool is wide apart; the first named
being worth eleven cents a pound, and
wool about twenty-five cents. Thus,
although the protective tariff on wool
is the highest on record, IL cents a
pound on unsecured and % cents on
secured, since 1897, the price of wool
has been much lower than under any
other high tariff. Yet, the farmers
have not made money on their sheep.

NIL WAUkEE PLANS
LINE TO DULUTH
Right of Way for New Route
Has Been Acquired and
Survey Made.

If the present plans Of the Milwaukee
road are carried to completion that COM
pauy will soon have it's own tracks be-
tween the Twin Cities and Duluth. 1t Is
stated on good authority that the Mil
wauEee has secured its right of way be-
tween st. Paul and the head of the lakes.
For the past two months surveyors
have been at. work laying out the pro-
posed lire. at first it was supposed that
ii was a 500 venture, but it is now stated
that the Milwaukee is the road which is
back of tIIe4iproject.
The line will run directly north from
Saltwater, striking Osceola and Grants
burg. 1t will pass through st. Croix,
Polk, Burnett and Douglas counties IN
Wisconsin and Pine county in Minnesota,
opening up a country that now has no
railroad facilities
Property for terminals, it is said has been
acquired in Duluth and Superior. These
terminals will include large shops, round
houses and freight yards.
According to the official who divulged
the information regarding the new line,
the fall. 1t is planned to have the road
completed within eighteen months from
the time construction begins.
Probably the one fact more than any
other that gives color to the report that
the Milwaukee is back of the new line
IS that w. r. Gills, who for many years
has had charge of construction work for
the Milwaukee in Northern Wisconsin. is
now in Duluth It is said he is making
the final arrangements for the roads right
CT way into that city.

WILL ABOLISH THE
GRADE CROSSINGS
Aldermen Intend to Pass an
Ordinance Doing Away
With Them.

Minneapolis has learned a lesson from
the recent accident at University avenue
and Erie street. where a collision between
a trolley car and freight train cost the
life of one man and resulted in the in
jury of several others, and grade crossings
probably will be abolished.
At. meeting of the city council last
night both Aid. Mccoy and Adams gave
formal notice of their intention to intro
duce ordinances to do away with such
crossings at the next meeting. Neither
alderman knew that the other intended to
act but one Of the measures will be in
troduced ard will be passed. Then the
work of erecting viaducts will begin.
There are several grade crossings in
Minneapolis; one on each of the interurban
lines, one on the First avenue line and
still others in various parts of the city.
All of these will be bridged when the
new ordinance goes into effect.
Officials of the street railway company
say they will not oppose the measure.
At last nights meeting Mayor Haynes
returned without his signature the creo-
sote paving contract passed by moLIon
in the council at it's last meeting. The
contract is a big one involving paving
all over the city, and has occaSloned much
opposition, owing to the price at which
it was let The mayor declared that the
action of the council should have been
by resolution instead of motion, and for
that reason refused to sign the contract.
An attempt may be made to mandamus
him in the courts.

OFFICER DIES WHILE
ATTENDING MEETING
First Grand Engineer of the Locomotive
Engineers Brotherhood Expires.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. May 27.-T. S.
Ingraham, first grand engineer of the In
ternational Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. dropped dead at his desk at
the convention in this city today from
apoplexy.
Mr. ingraham was absorbed in work
when he lost his breath and fell from
his chair. He expired almost immediate
ly. His health had not been good for
some time. His body will be taken to
Cleveland next Saturday by a committee
of the brotherhood.
Ingraham, who was sixty y-nine years of
age, had been first grand engineer since
1873. He had been mentioned as a possible
candidate for the office of grand chief
engineer at the present convention, but
it was understood that he had refused
to allow his name to be considered.
CLEVELAND Ohio, May 27.-Thomas
II. Ingraham lived in this city, and was
very widely known. He had been con-
nected with the brotherhood for more
than thirty years, previous to which
he was a locomotive engineer. He is
survived by a son and two daughters, his
wife having died several years ago.
A remarkable coincidence in connection
with Mr.. Ingrahams death is the fact
that former Grand Chief P. M. Arthur, Of
the brotherhood. died suddenly of apoplexy
while attending a meeting of engineers at
Winnipeg last year.

ration of church and state go over un-
til next January has the effect of post
poning separation beyond the present
session of parliament. NJ Ribot, the
minority leader, was among those yot-
ing in support of the government
The premier asked the chamber to
leave the debate to it's true significance.
The holy see, he said, in a document
hurtful to France, had denounced to
certain European powers the insult
which it alleged the head of the French
state had inflicted upon it, by return
ing, in the undisputed capital of his
kingdom, the visit received from the
king Of Italy, and by refusing to admit
the claim of the ultramonvanes to pre-
negatives presented as untenable. The
government had resented this document
by Immediately recalling the ambassa-
dor to the Vatican. Said the premier:
This recall signifies that we cannot at
low the holy see to interpret the pres
ence Of our ambassador in Rome in a
sense favorable to its claims to make
use of this presence to justify pretensions
which we reject 1t also means that we
will not allow the papacy to intermeddle
with our international relations, and that
we intend to have done once for all with
the. superannuated fiction of temporal
power, which disappeared thirty-four
years ago. We will not Withdraw the
whole staff accredited to the Vatican as
we are bound by the concordat to main
tain at the Vatican an agent Of our gov
ernMent for the carrying on Of business.
Some speakers urge us to denounce the
concordat without delay. but so serious
a step should be preceded by measures
guaranteeing the republican state against
the political risks which would be en-
