SUMMER TRIPs.
THURSDAY, AUGUST IS, 1904.
NoN-pARTIsANsHIp.

Every right-thinking man in the land will applaud President Roosevelts let ter instructing the Attorney General to put a stop to the removal of Federal officers in Alabama for partisan req sons. Rumors have reached the Pres ident that Federal District Attorneys and Marshals in Alabama are making Marshals and put Republicans in their places. The President writes to At torney General Moody that the Depart ment of Justice should be kept free from suspicion of improper action on partisan or factional grounds. Please direct the District Attorneys and the Marshals in question that they are to retain and appoint their subordinates. and non-poiitical, on grouids of fitness only, and without regard to other con alterations" The President adds that he desires that the Federal Court In Alabama should win the regard and respect of the people by an exhibition of scrupulous -parrisanship."
 The letter is worthy of the highest praise. It rings true. There are great numbers of Federal office holders who appear to believe that partisan activity is a part of their sworn duty. The Presidents rebuke to the Alabama Dis trict Attorneys and Marshals will be heard and we hope needed, far beyond the circle of offenders against whom it was specially directed. Like MT. Clevelands trouncing of Federal Dis trict Attorney for onensiVe partisan ship. this Is an act that will attract wide attention.-New York Times.

The Brundidge News very properly argues that Southeast Alabama needs a wagon and buggy factory. and thinks Brundidge would be a good place for it. We cannot say as to the advant- ages of that town for such an enter prise, but we emphatically endorse the proposition that our people should manufacture these things for them selves, and if Brundidge can secure a factory of the kind there need be no doubt that 1t will pay. The News is on the right line.

LIVES LOST IN A VAULT
MANY SCHOOL CHILDREN PRE-
CIPITATED TO DEATH.
Floor Joists Gave Way-Recovery OF
Bodies Made Difficult by Lack
of Facilities.

CINCINNATI, September 23.-During the
morning recess today Of the public school
at Pleasant Ridge, about twenty miles
north of this city, number of children
lost their lives. When school recessed
there was playful rush into the outhouse.
which gave way, precipitating about twen-
ty children into the vault.
At 11:30 am. nine bodies had been re-
covered. At that hour an estimate Of
those missing placed the number of those
that had fallen into the vault at twenty
five, and it was reported then that there
were evidently more dead bodies yet in the
vault.
Intense Excitement.
1t was stated that the joists under the
flooring gave way suddenly, carrying down
all who were in the clubhouse at the time.
The population of the village soon sur
rounded the school grounds, and people
were hocking in town from the surround
ing country. The excitement was inten-
sified by complaints of parents against
school officers who said that the building
and grounds were inspected before the
opening of school two weeks ago.
An awful scene was witnessed as the
rescuers searched for all sorts of utensils
with which to drag the bodies from the
vault. Soon after 1t was known what had
happened all the utensils that were avail
able IN the vicinity were brought into requi-
sitfon. Men went into the vault and car
ried out the bodies. and the sschool build
ing was transformed into q morgue.

REGARDED AS CRAZY
MAN WHO SHOT AT CHIEF OF
POLICE AT ODESSA.
Probably Wished to Initiate the As
sassin Of the Late Minister
of the Interior.

ST. PETERSBURG, September 23.-Ac-
cording to information furnished to the AS
sociated Press by the minister of the In
terror the attempt to shoot Chief OF Ponce
Neidgardt of Odessa yesterday by young
man who fired a revolver at him from
distance of six PAGES was not connected
with the Jewish question, or the mobliiza-
ton of troops now proceeding in Odessa
The man who tried to assissinate NJ. Neid-
gardt was evidently a Russian factory en-
ploye. When arrested by M. Neidgardt he
shouted: Long live labor"
He obstinately refuses to disclose his
name, and is not believed to have accom-
plices. Probably the would-be assassin Is
a person of unsound mind who wished to
initiate Sasoneff, the assassin of the late
interior minister, Won Plehve. This belief
is confirmed by the absence of labor trou-
bles at Odessa.
1t is doubtful whether this murderous
attempt will lead to a change in the en-
perors plans to visit Odessa on the occa-
sion of the departure of the troops for the
far east.
The mobilization led to slight rioting at
Ekaternoslav. About 125 drunken re-
serve men wrecked a few wine shops and
two private residences. The rioters were
arrested without effusion of blood.

LONG STRIKE CALLED OFF.
Railway Employees Stampeded to Be Re-
instated at Former Wages.

CHICAGO, September 2S.-The nine
months struggle of the machinists and
boilermakers of the Chicago, Lake Shore
and Eastern railroad against a 10 per cent
wage reduction is at an end. The COM
pany announced that if the unions would
call off their strikes it would reinstate as
many of the former employees as possible
at the lower wages. The result was a
stampede of more than half of the 400
strikers, which caused fighting and brought
the police.
The company hired 100 of the old men,
and will take on more until full union
crews have been engaged. The strike
breakers will be discharged.
The railroad, which is owned by TIE Illi-
nois Steel Company, announced the first
of the year that it would inaugurate & 10
per cent reduction in wages. The ma
chinists and boiler makers walked out and
the company started to employ non-union
workers. Fifty arrests have been made
by the police for assaults, forty men have
been beaten, locomotives have been dam
aged so that they could not be run. and
tracks have been torn up.

The assault by Chinese on the commander

Monday. while taking photographs from a
roof of the forbidden city, which was i'm
mediately settled by an apology, was ap-
parently due to Chinese soldiers thinking
the captain was an Italian, which caused
them to attack him.

have the negro in custody.
