charge of wife murder had Just been
lodged, then kissed the children good-by,
all weeping at the affecting separation,
and then turning to the officers, signified
his willingness to accompany them, and
with them and his two brothers left the
room. The prisoner and the two brothers
and liveryman then got in vehicle
and drove to the Jail, two squares dis.
tant, where the prisoner was locked up.
No application for bail has been made
nor has the time for the preliminary
hearing been fixed.
Last night every precaution had been
taken to secure the prisoners safety
against mob violence, although it is be-
lieved that no lawless demonstration is
likely.
The theory upon which the State de-
ponds to prove its charge of murder
against McCue is built upon testimony
showing domestic troubles between Nc.
Cue and his wife for several years. An
attempt will be made to prove that on
the day of the tragedy the couple re-
turned TO their home in the city, after a
brief absence, Mr.. McCue coming from
Washington and his wife from Reu
Hill, in ALTERNATE county. That
evening they attended services at the
Presbyterian Church, and it was observed
that they entered the edifce separately,
Mrs. McCue some time before her hus-
baEd, and that she was the first to leave
il, her husband pausing to shake hands
with some friends as he passed out. Thus
Mrs. McCue reached home first. In
less than half an hour she was dead,
with terrible guushot wound in her
breast, her nose broken by blow from
the fist or some dull instrument, brulse
on one ear, and bruises as if made by
fingers about her throat.
1t will be charged that in quarrel
after the arrival at the house the hus-
band, in uDgovernable anger, struck
and choked his wife. She went to the
bathroom, it is supposed, and turned on
the water, which was found running by
those who found her body. She washed
her bruises, weeping in distress, and so
unrestrainedly that a colored man read
ing a paper across the alley heard her.

Au Revoir to Root.

The numerous dinners and receptions,
semi-public and private. given to Secretary
Root in anticipation of his early departure
from the capital indicate and are utilized
as suitable occa sions for expressing the
widespread and sincere regret that Is felt
in national and local and in civil and mill
tary circles at the loss of the great Peace
Secretary of the War Department.
There is warm local appreciation of the
valuable contributions to the capitals well
fare made by the War Department under
Secretary Roots guidance in handling such
problems as those involved in the Park
Commissions plans of capital development,
in the construction of highway and rail-
road bridges across the Potomac and In
the other important local engineering works
and projects which fall to the management
OF the War Department. Moreover, the
people of Washington have in mind the re-
newed impetus given to the grand project
Of Memorial Bridge across the Potomac
by Secretary Roots recent report upon this
subject.
The greetings of separation exchanged be-
tween the national capital and Secretary
Root do not mean farewell-but ito meet
again'-whether at the Capitol or the White
House, who can say? May they not con-
vey an Au Revoir from ali Washington
to meet again formally and officially not
later than the inaugural ball of 1909?

topic is Peace" OF course, Mr.. Bryan is
in favor of peace. In the affairs of the
world at large he sees very plainly that war
on large scale is imminent. and he gives
his voice against 1T. In the affairs Of the
political party to which he belongs he sees
quite as plainly that peace is necessary to
the happiness and prosperity of the organi-
cation. and he Is so determined to have
peace that he IS preparing to fight for It,.

thing this year with an earnestness unex-
ampled in the history Of his past perform
ances. Refreshed and informed by Euro

are indications that the edge Of his battle
ak was never sharper than at present. Par

fronted by such situation in consequence
of a wild struggle between the cotton bulls
and bears that they found 1t more profitable
to throw their manufactured raw ma
terial on the market and sell it in that form
than to make 1t up into goods. The held
conditions were normal and the factory
conditions were such that II the price had
not been artifcia1ly raised the production
of the finished stuffs would have continued
on an average plane. OF course, the manu-
facturers will not continue indefinitely to
throw over raw cotton and sell it for the
sake Of an Immediate large profit. They
will prefer to make up their stuffs and
meet the market demands, in order to re-
tain their trade opportunities. So they are
now buying the cotton at excessive prices
and selling the goods at q proportionate
rate.
There Is no apparent remedy for this
speculative evil now at hand. But 1t is
reaching the lower ranks now in manner
to cause a general awakening OF interest
in this phase of practical economics as ap-
piled to the everyday life Of the individual.

Cotton Speculation.

Every housekeeper of Washington has
good reason at present to condemn the
practices of the cotton brokers who have,
for some months past. been juggling with
that commodity for speculative gain and
forcing its price up In the market to fig
ure wholly unwarranted by the conditions
OF the demand and the supply. Every jan
rary the thrifty housewife, thinking to re-
plenish her supply of bed linen and the
like hastens to the stores to take advan-
tage of the customary reductions which
mark the annual clearing out of stock after
the holidays. Those of Washington who
have followed their practice IN this regard
find themselves this year confronted by
new and. to them. surprising conditions.
They learn that cotton sheets. for example.
which two months ago might be bought
for 81 each now cost s1.10. with all other
goods in proportion. and they are told that
the present outlook is that the retail prices
Of these materials will continue to rise for
some months to come.
This brings the lesson of the speculative
manipulation of this staple squarely down
to the individual There has been no ma
terial shortage in the cotton crop. Nor has
there been any falling off in the quality.
The season has been a fair one, equal to
the average. Yet the price has gone up
tremendously. 1t is true that more cotton
is being used today than ever before owing
TO improved methods of manufacture and
70 the natural spread OF trade. but 1T is also
tue that more acres have been planted in
cotton. and that IL it were not for Wall
street financing this staple would keep
fairly even with the demand.
1t Is a notorious fact that a few months
ago manufacturers found themselves con-

Russia's Flagrantly Offensive Attitude


A current press dispatch from Toxic con-
corning Russia's reply to Japan must be re-
garded as incredible, save on the basis of
some extraordinary hypothesis. 1t is to the
effect that Russia proposes to deny the
rights and privileges of the United States
in Manchuria under the treaty just made
with China. The report does not state 1t so
directly. 1t INDUCES in some circumlocu-
ton. But the meaning Is the same. RUS
sia," we are told. will repect the rights
and privileges acquired by the powers in
Manchuria under existing treaties with Chi
ma, excepting the establishment of foreign
settlements, and In so far as these rights
and privileges are not prejudicial to Russia g
future relations with Manchuria.'' Our
rights. that Is, are to be respected, except
Ing one of the most essential and funda-
mental of them all. which Russia herself is
enjoying in an extreme measure, and ex-
cepting such others of them as Russia
thinks may at some time interfere with
some of her future enterprises in that coun-
try. Never was there more palpable case
than that would be of keeping the word Of
pre- mise to the ear and breaking 1t to the
sense. 1t is simply incredible that Russia
has made declaration so flagrantly Often
sive and defiant to the United States and all
other powers.

Hopeless Lunacy."
From the New York World.


Not content with having twice landed the
democratic party In the ditch of defeat,
Mr.. Bryan is ambitious to repeat his per-
Torrance. A more hopelessly bourbonistio
and fatuous utterance cannot be conceived
than his declaration at Lincoln:
THE Kansas City platform was sound in
every plank, and the first act Of the next
democratic convention should be to reaf-
firm 1t in its entirety
OF course such hopeless lunacy as this
implies Is not to be feared again At Kan
sas City in 1900 Mr.. Bryan was able to
force the suicidal silver plank into the
platform by a bare majority Of one in the
committee (the delegate from Hawaii sup
plying thatD after he had threatened to
decline the nomination If this were not
done Mr.. Bryan will find no such COM
PLEASANT or cowardly gathering at St Louis
this year. The democratic party has had
enough Of bombastic magnlloQuence and
last-dttch heroics. It knows dead issues
when 1t scents them-and dead ducks" as
well. It does not banker after the final
suicide-"three times and out" And 1t
thinks that Mr.. Bryan has had his chance
and his day-a freer hand than was ever
accorded to any presidential candidate be-
fore, with infinitely more disastrous re-
sults> But as he lacks the modesty to sub
side and Is plainly bent upon mischief, the
democratic party viii have to put him
down with firm hand If 1t wishes to re-
tain the ghost Of a chance to carry the
election.

Kentucky and the Presidency.

The following dispatch from Frankfort Is
interesting and vastly Suggestive:
."The senate today concurred in the house
Joint resolution inviting Senator Marcus A.
Hanna of Ohio to address the general as
sembly of Kentucky. By previous resoiu-
tton Senator German of Maryland has been
invited to address the legislature
The invitation to Mr.. German IL easily
understood. 1t Is the contribution Of the
Bluegrass democracy to the Maryland SEN
stor's presidential boom. Not always a
fayorite of the tariff-for-revenue politicians
of that old commonwealth, Mr.. German Is
now their choice for President, and they
desire to show him such attention at this
stage Of the game as will strengthen him
in his campaign. Mr.. Watterson-his con-
oueror In the tariff fight at ST. Louis in
1S8S-is for him. Senators Blackburn and
McCreary are for him. National Commit
teeman Woodson Is for him. 1t Is
triumph Upon which Mr.. German may well
be felicitated everywhere. 1t is as COM
plete a surrender to Vandalism as even
these unusual times have produced.
But why Mr.. Hanna? The Kentucky
democrats have been among the most ex-
treme of his assailants. In 1896 the demo-
cratic newspapers and all of the democratic
spellbinders accused him of invading the
state and scattering cash with prodigal
hand Those men-the most eminent intel
lectually in the party-who had repudlated
Mr.. Bryan and gone over to Mckinley and
sound money were openly charged with
having surrendered to his seduction. Have
these bitter accusers of the Ohio senator
just discovered their error? And do they
now seek an opportunity to make amends
for that injustice? Read in that light,
their invitation is very frank and beauti-
full apology and tribute.
But can 1t be that they are simply play
ing politics? Have they Joined that noble
army of hustIers, commanded from New
York whose aim it Is to do Theodore
Roosevelt? There are people-some of them
democrats-who, against his express decla-
ration. insist that Mr.. Hanna must run for
President. They know he will not be nomi-
mated. but they use his name with the view
of spreading an Impression that the repub-
ncans are straining every nerve to get away
from the President. Is this the game? Do
the Kentucky democrats want to help
nominate both candidates? Insatiate archer!
will not one suffice?

President Shows Surprising Strength
in Hanna Territory.
From the New York Herald.

FROM the new York Herald.
CINCINNATI, Ohio, Wednesday-While
this is the stronghold of the Cox organiza-
ton. which is now strongly affiliated with
Senator Hanna, a surprising amount Of
Roosevelt sentiment was developed by a
poll of business and professional men.
Some were outspoken for William H. Taft
as preferable to either Hanna or Roosevelt.
Business men argue that President Roose-
welt had been tried. his policies are known
and a change of administration would
necessarily disturb affairs to some extent,
either through changes in patronage or
doubt as to the new mans policies. Most
of the bankers and brokers favor Senator
Hanna, while the preachers, to man al
most, are for Roosevelt.
At the city hall, where 1t was thought
all would be for Hanna 1t was found that
Roosevelt outran the senator.
