of the American people, would say
 l. Tbe disregard of President Roosevelt for the constitution and for political morality his selfish and reckless Partisanship, and his failure to enforce the criminal law against trust and monopolies.
 ,. The policy of the republican party in substituting the will of popular majority of the people of the Union for the provisions and limitations of the constitution of the United States, and its class and monopoly legislation. including blgh protective tariff, the trusts and the monopolies fosfered by it, and thc notorious political corrup- tion which has grown out of its policy
 If were asked for remedy for these dangers would say the de feat ol Roosevelt for the presiden- Icy. the reversal of republican pol icics. and the restoration of con stitutionaI, honest and economic government.
 If am asked b " this is 10 be done l would say:
 By the adoption by the National democratic convention when 1t meets of a platform covering the recognized cardinal principles of the party, and leaving questions of differences of opinions among democrats to be settled within the party after il shall have gotten the control of the government, uniting She whole strength of the party for this purpose, and offering this : indneement to the floating vote of She country and to dissatisfied re. pubiieans. This plan would open the whole field for political discus sion, and # seems to me offers the only possible chance for the sue cess of the democratic partyin the coming National election.
  If we go into the contest with eonlesting factions in the party, defeat is inevitable; and the prae ticcs of Roosevelt and the policeis fhe republican party will bave four years more in which to be. come crystalIized and that would be the end of constitutional gov ernment. and the enthronement in its stead ot d government of class es, money, corporations and trusts
 believe as earnestly as you do in the great body of the doctrines you have been advocating, but l am not 90 afraid of the limited numbers of democrats who disap- prove those policies as Jo be afraid to go into convention with them ssureiy six million democrats need not be afraid of three hundred tbousand. While three hundred thousand may aot be able to elect d president, they, with the influ- ence they can command, can sure-t Iy defeat the election of any one on platform antagonizing their views.
 With me its not question of whether We can defeat and punish any faction in the democratic par ty, but whether we shall, by unit ing all democrats, secure an cleo ton which willrestore the cousti- tuition, good government and the nest interests 91 lhe people of thls great republic.
 ! ou will understand that 1 do not write as an interested politi- elan. My political race has been run. l am now $ years of age have no political bonors to eN-  pect or to desire.

To Worlds Fair Visitors.

Certain other Chicago-St Louis lines
have advertised freely in Chicago and
elsewhere that they land their passen
gers at the Worlds Fair Grounds. Up
to a short time ago they were using the
Rock Island Road to reach the Fair
Grounds. A recent order of the United
States Court prohibits the Rock Island
from handling the trains of other lines.
The Wabash is, therefore, the only line
that can handle Worlds Fair travel
between Union Station, Page Ave, and
the Worlds Fair Grounds. The Chi
cago-St. Louis lines referred to have
applied for permission to run their
passengers over the Wabash tracks,
which permission has been refused.
They will be obliged to land their
passengers at Union Station, which is
over five miles from the Words Fair

~N HE mansion of COrbitOn was q
large and rambling structure,
81 two stories in height for the
most part, although in some
places it rose to three, as in others it
subsidized into one. 1t was built partly
of stone, partly of brick and partly of
timber and plaster, with many gables
and picturesque windows in the wide,
extending roof. Each of its owners
had added to it as his needs required
or his taste dictated, and now 1t was
composed of many styles of architec-
ture, but the tumble, as whole, was
beautiful rather than homogeneous, as
might have been expected.
AS evening drew on the thin crescent
of new moon shed faint, mystcri-
Gus light over the scene, as if it were
n white sickle hung up in the sky, use
less because there was no harvest In
England to reap save that of death.
The dim luster outlined the mansion,
and the aspect was one of peace,
scarcely troubled by the football of a
sentinel slouching along the grass in
front, carelessly trailing his pike, with
nothing of alert military manner about
him.
The sentinel stopped in his walk and
stood for moment by the battered
sundial, listening. Family in the still
night air came to him across the fields
| the beating of horses hoofs on thu
hard road. Striding athwart the bro
ken lawn to an oaken door, he smot
it with the butt of his pike, crying:
