journalism that are most despicable.
Facts are perverted intentionally-and
maliciously-- or, if ignorantly, with
lack of knowledge or information
the penalty for which on the part of a
journalist, on paper like the Repub-
lican, should be hanging without bene-
fit of clergy. Some stories are made
up from whole cloth, while the worst
possible Interpretation is given to the
supposed facts. especially if it be
something concerning a Republican,
and the best possible Interpretation if
the story concerns Democrat. I'm
der the guise of Independent thought
things are said which no self respect
ing Democratic paper would dare to
say for fear the come back would hurt
the party. The Democratic paper,
in sense, is responsible; the "inde-
pendent is wholly irresponsible.

remark to which the Republican refers
was reported as coming from Fletcher
Proctor, president of the Vermont
Marble Company, and not from the
Senator. Moreover, Vermont has seen
no wage reductions during the past
few years, but has seen continual
advance in wages all along the line.
The tendency in Vermont has recently
been wholly towards higher pay in
industrial employments, and shorter
hours for the latoring man generally.
Stump speakers in Vermont can talk
prosperity and point il out all around
them. But it would be useless to adj
monish this Springfield "independ.
emit" to stick to the facts and tell the
truth respecting affairs or conditions
in Vermont-as useless as to admon-
ish Mesphistopholes to be virtuous.

WHY NOT BE HONEST?

Senator Proctor carries word from
Vermont to the Republican campaign
managers that the Democrats up that
way are more united than they have
been since 1892, and that effort will
be required to roll up an exhilarating
Republican majority in September.
Mr.. Proctor himself can do something
to that end probably by ending the
strike in his marble WORKS near Rut-
land. But he has no intention of
yielding to the demands of the strik-
ers, and says he will let the works 20

PANA MA MAKES PROTEST..


Washington, Aug. 2.-Senor Obaldi,
Panama minister, accompanied by his
secretary of the legation, called at the
State department on Monday and made
a formal protest against the construc-
ton given the canal treaty by the
executive officers of the isthmian canal
commission. There is trouble grow
ing out of the location of post offices
i'll the canal strip under the commits
sion's orders, but the most serious
matter OF discord between the people
of Panama and the commission is the
latter's location of new customs
port near the city of Panama.
People Of Panama contend that the
commissions association of claim to
customs jurisdiction over OUTLYING
islands and harbors will surely result
in total diversion of trade from Pan
anna, and will impoverish that govern
ment through the loss of the customs
revenue.
The agitation in Panama started
with the retail shopkeepers who feared
they would lose the lucrative business
of supplying the vast armies of labor
ers and officers who are to construct
the canal. The controversy has ex-
tended rapidly and the situation in
Panama is now stated to be really pre-.
carious from political point of view.

Galveston has completed it's sea wall,
costing 81, 800, 900 and is three miles
in length. This is but the beginning
of the great improvement which the
enterprising gulf port has undertaken,
for the city itself is to be raised II
feet, a work which will require two
years and will cost over 50, 600, 600.
Not only will this prevent recur-
renee of the terrible disaster which
overwhelmed the city, few years
ago, but it will nquestionably make
Galveston a much more salubrious

that large part of Chicago was lifted

fore the days of sky sorapers.

Los Angeles, Gala, Sept. 2S.-Beaten
and battered. Jack Sullivan, of Boston,
stayed twenty rounds with Kid Mccoy
last night, at Hazards Pavilion. Sui
livan showed remarkable recuperative
powers aud gameness. Mccoy cut his
opponents face to bits and broke his
nose. Sullivan was knocked through
the ropes three times. Mccoy became
tired toward the close and Sullivan
tried to rush him, but the "Kid," by his
footwork, always kept out of harms
way. 1t was vicious battle from start
to finish, with Mccoy having clear
lead in every round. Sullivan staggered
to his corner like drunken man at the
end OF the twentieth round. From the
sixth, to the final round, Sullivan looked
like beaten man at the end of every
round. He would wander to his corner
dazed and apparently beaten, but at the
beginning of each round he would come
back eager and anxious to renew the mill
ing. Mccoy showed all his old time
ring generalship, but it was remarked
that the "Kid' was not as strong as in
former years. Sullivan fought gamely
but really never had much chance.

mapping two children OF Mrs. Mamie
Gallagher. The children, a boy years
old, and girl, 2 years, we're held by Mrs.

nance. The information laid before
Alderman Yarnell is that The Gallagher

the Rowe home to July 81 last. A dis
pute occurred among the bOarders, after
which Mrs. Gallagher left the Rowe
home and endeavored to take her child

them. The Gallagher woman says that
she and the babies we're to receive
board and shelter free, if the mother
would work for her spstenance. But
since the separation the Rowe woman
exacts a ransom of SIG, which the
Gallagher woman refuses to pay. Ere
quent efforts have been made by the

by the mother. Later in the day the
mother recovered the children, but the
