THE YOUNG MAN IN POLITICS.

The young man who will cast lis
first vote for President at the coming
election must regard himself as an
important factor in the results. The
committees of all parties in his neigh
horhood are calling upon him to save
the country and urging him 10 join the
local clubs. and If he shows signs OF
independence the workers of the par
ties are paying special attention TO his
case with tracts and speeches. TO prove
! that protection is the only political
/ salvation for the country, and he will
lie sure to profit by it. The fact that
! the protected trusts are furnishing the
! money to buy the ammunition that the
! Protective Tariff League is firing. has
probably attracted the attention of first
! voters and made them wary of cast
Ing their political lot with the monopo-
Isis. Under the present reign of the
trusts the young man has found his
opportunities hampered and the
chances for entering upon a business
career oE his own account so few and
far between that it is not one in a
thousand. The concentration of busi-
| ness in the hands of the few. with the
great majority working for them at
the prices the trusts and corporations
dictate, is an entirely different outlook
than presented itself 10 the father of
the present young man. But few
years ago there was an opening for
any young man of honesty and ability
Now anything more than g clerkship
hardly presents itself. Older and more
experienced men are competing for
the jobs that boys should be doing,
and the struggle for existence with
many is severe one. This has all
come about since the reign of the
trusts commenced and the ingenious
young man will naturally be enquiring
into the cause of it. and when he ha
investigated and arrived ut decisir
will vote accordingly.
High prices for everything do not

and courage, when he will shoulder

SCANDAL OF A LEA

The scandal in the Agricultu
partment of the leak of the colt.
report is explained by Secretar,
son as merely Il coincidence of f
and that any person being in posse
of the Government cotton figures n.
of their publication ''is abso.u
false" Yet the fact remains that
Government report was known In \
York some time ahead of its publ.
tion. and the cotton spectators mad,
trades on the e-advance information. II
Secretary Wilson would pay as much
attention to overseeing this department,
as he does TO making stump speeches
he would easily discover the leak and
could stop it IL he wanted 10. The sim.
pie business way to test the matter
would be to suspend Mr.. Hyde. who
has for some time been in charge al
the statistics. and try new man and
new assistants. 1t Is quite probable
that for some time. or at least. until
the SPECTATORS could get at them,
these new brooms would sweep clean.

MR.. RoOSEyELT'S FOOLERY.
Bold.Faced Attempt to Deceive the
People With Talk Of Economy.

1t has come to be Il kind of common
agreement that nobody has q keener
appreciation of the homely wit of L.
T. Barnum's saying about the Amer
lean people liking TO be humbugged
than Theodore Roosevelt. His letter of
acceptance is the most blatant hum
buggery that has appeared i'll any OF
his public utterances. Mr.. RooseVeIt
evidently thinks it applies to politics
as well as to an alleged dog-faced man
among his freaks.
In that wonderful letter OF accept
ance, he says:
"The expenditures of the Nation have
been managed in spirit OF economy
as far removed from waste as from
niggardiiness; and in the future every
effort will be continued to secure an
economy as strict as is consistent with
efficiency"
His promise to continue the same
kind of Roosevelt economy, with
long unbroken record Of notorious ex
uavagance with deficits constantly i'm.
pending, will not fool the American
people. This Is no dog-faced man freak
of the Barnum sort; it is merely one OF
the most characteristic of Rooseve'ts s
bluffs.
Representative Burton, OF Ohio, made
q speech last spring in which he SOL
emnly warned the House Of Reprasen-
tatives of useless expenditures ald or
the alarming growth of the tendeiey to
extravaganza. 1t was appnNted by
Republicans as well as Democrits. II
was delivered at a time when the riot
of extravaganza in the Postofice De-
partment had provoked corruption
which scandalized the administration.
1t is idle for MIR. Roosevelt attempt
to recite the various great Enterprises
of the Government requiring the eX-
penditure of money. Appropriations
always increasing have ben made for
these objects, but it is ndorious that
the Government has not 'nly been de-
frauded in numerous Instances, but
that in many cases Offices OF the Gov
ernment in authority lave been in
collusion with swindlGs. 1t cannot
be denied either th:t after a brief
abortive effort to pulish the wrong
doers the work OF til official sleuths
and those whose dutyit was TO admin
lister the punishment slackened and a
policy of silence andienial of publicity
was adopted. Only he other day Pres
ident Roosevelt gaze out an order that
the departments mist cease to give out
estimates. Is it possible Judge Parker
thrust went hom! If not, what was
the matter?
Why should NJ. Roosevelt by this
order, suppressig the publicity of esti-
mates of experiitures for and in the
departments dny to the people the
privilege of pr"ing his word, he would
continue to scure economy?"
1t is the fire time such an executive
order was evr issued, and coming a il
does with te very echo of the shot
from Judge9arker, at Esopus, it looks
as though lere's something still ..rot-
ten in Dernark."

found themselves at the mercy of the Russians and hoisted a white flag. To this. however, the Russians paid no at tention and continued to volley rapidly into the helpless ranks of the enemy. In the meantime Japanese troops in the rear of the companies that had raised the white flag saw what their com> rades had done and expressed their dis approval of the surrender by firing into their rear. As a result of this fire from friend and foe, 600 men were annihi- lated. The dead fell among decompos- ing bodies of previous assaults. For days afterward the wounded men in this area raised fiuttering handker- chiefs in their hands in pleas for help but the Russians were afraid to venture out to give succor.
 Within a week the army had made its unregarded prayer for help and the shambles was a quiet but ghastly field of horror. Among the heaps of dead the prince saw two soldiers one Rus sian and the other Japanese. lying locked in a death embrace. The teeth of the Japanese were sunk in the Rus sians throat. while the Russian had forced two of his fingers into the eye sockets of his antagonist.
 The Prince cited this as merely an in cident denoting the ferocity of the conflict at Port Arthur. The prince will leave tomorrow to retoin General Kuropatkin.

GAYNOR OR HERRlCK
JUDGES SPOKEN OF FOR GUBER-
 NATORIAL NOMINATION.
sheehan Wishes to Confer at Earliest Moment With Leaders to Fix on Candidate for Governor
 of New York.

Esopus, N T., Sept. 1S.-william F. Sheehan. Chairman of the National Ex- ecutive Committee, and Representative Francis Burton Harrison of New York, Vice Chairman of the Bureau of Orr ganization for Upper New York State, were the only important political call CTS at Rosemount today.
 Interest here centres in conference which MT. Sheehan intends to have at the earliest possible moment with other leaders to determine upon the most available candidate for the Gov ernorship. Justice William J. Gaynor of Brooklyn and Justice D. Cady Her rick have both been mentioned promi- nently in this connection in the last day or two.
 Judge Parker made no changes in his personal plans concerning participating in the campaign. It Is announced that he has not arranged to spend any defi- nite number of days each week in New York as has been reported. but that the Judge will go to New York only when it will be more convenient to meet his political managers there than 1t would be for them to come to Rose- mount.
 No time, however. has been set for such trips. The announcement was also made that the Judge will not go on speech making tour. but that he will make all his speeches from the veranda at RosemOunt.
 Judge Parker and members of his family drove to Kingston today, where they attended church services.

HUNG AT DANHLSyHLE.

Atlanta. Ga, Sept. 1s.-A special to The Constitution from Royston, Ga. says:
 Judge Lynch held court in Franklin County today. and as a result the rid- dled body of John Ware. negro, Is swinging from a limb of a tree between here and Gainesville.
 Ware was done to death va mob for fatally shooting c. Y. Daniel, son of George Daniel of Danielsville, today.
 Young Daniel and the negro had some words over a trivial matter IL Is said the negro becoming greatly en- ragged and swearing that no white man should run over him. drew a pistol and shot Daniel the bullet inficting a wound that will prove fatal
 The news of the shooting quickly spread and a crowd began gathering, many leaving church to join in the chase for the negro.
 The negro was captured carly in the afternoon and while being hurried to Gainesville by the sheriff was over- taken by the mob. The negro was talk en from the sheriff and deputies, seated seated on a horse, a moose fitted about his neck and the other end tied to a limb. The horse was then struck a. sharp blow and dashed away leaving the negro swinging to the limb. HsIf a hundred shots rang out and the swaying body was riddled. The corpse was left hanging by the mob. n

unlawful punishment of one. The law must be upheld at all hazards and If it costs lives to do 1t the lives must be sacrificed.
 Tt is an awful thing to have to shoot a man down on an occasion of this kind. but nothing good is ever accomplished in this world without the shedding of human blood. Just think of the drops of human blood that have been spilled in the defense of human liberties. mob Is anar- chy in it's worst form and is a blow at civilization. It Is the spirit of mob law that grows on us and feeds upon itself.
 Ten men have been lynched in Mad ison County since 1876 and the lives of some of our best citizens have been threatened. I want to say right now that l am against lynching for any cause. The jury sysem of the State and couny is wrong. The time has passed when the best citizens of tho city and county serve on the juries and the men who judge of the deeds of others to large extent are lot who hang around the courthouse and do nothing but act as professional jurors I would not let a professional juror sit on the cs-se of a dog. much less a man.
 There is too much politics in the courthouse and in the jury box. Have two more lynchings in this county and you will see the tide of immigration cease, and the people already here will begin to leave for other places. Make recurrence forever impossible, not by arming to battle, but by cleanness in the administration of justice"
 Members of the military court of in- quiry are looked for here tonight. The grand jury will convene again to- morrow and it is hinted that they will begin thorough investigation of the conduct of he Sheriff, Mayor and po- licemen. There has been some friction between the latter and the militia, but an understanding has evidently been reached in the matter

MOVEMENT DENIED.
St. Petersburg Does Not Credit kurokfs
 Reported Advance.

Reported Advance.
 St. Petersburg. September lS.-z a. m.-The reports that General kuroki IS pushing on Southeast of Mukden are not borne out by official telegrams that have been received here. According to the latest advices the Japanese forces continue to increase at Bianiupuza and Yienta.
 decisive advance in the direction of Mukden is therefore not expected to oc- cur for some days. Meanwhile fndica- tions increase of the probability of the Japanese meeting with resistance. The Russian forces at Mukden undoubtedly are very large and every days delay enables the chief to pre- pare for defense. telegram from Mukden reports the arrival there of an immense train filled with convalescents returning to duty. This may be regard ed as good evidence of large concen- tration of troops at Mukden.
 The same correspondent describing scenes at Tie Pass notes extraordinary animation there.
 Despatches from Vladivostok and Sakhalien make no mention of develop ments there. The citizens of Vladivos- tok scout the idea of a siege and many are returning from their country villas.
 The disarming of the Lena at San Francisco Is accepted here as having been inevitable In view of the conside- rable length of time required to repair the vessels boilers.
 The Russ Editorial today prints that the United States declaration of neu- trality expressly provides for vessels of belligerent power using American ports for needful repairs. but admits that Russia could scarcely expect to be allowed to keep a warship eight months in a neutral port without dis arming.

FRINGE BISMARCK DEAD.
Son of Great Chancellor Succumbs {,
 Lingering Illness.


 Lingering Illness.
 Friedrichsruhe. Sept. 1e.--Prince Herbert Bismarck died this morning at l0:l5 o'clock. The end was pain- less. sc-@
 Since he ceased to be foreign min- ister on the retirement of his father in 1890. Prince Herbert Bismarck, had taken part in public affairs only as Q member of the Reichstag.
 His attitude had been that of a man not appreciated by his Sovereign and for an opportunity to resume his career.
 His delivery as parliamentary speaker improved year by year. He always declined to join any political group steadfastly calling himself an independent. His naughty and impe- rious manners in early life when he was conscious of the fact that he was the son of the most powerful states man in Europe, softened in later life.
 Prince Bismarck's father trained him for his successor as Chancellor of the German Empire and advanced him rap- idly in the diplomatic service until at the age of 40 he was Minister of For eign Affairs. in which position he took part in nearly every important interna- tional transaction.
 An incident that nearly wrecked Prince Herbert's career and that caused the old Chancellor great annoyance was Prince Herberts elopement with Prin- cess Carolath Beuthen. the wife of Prince Karl. the head of that distin- guished Silcian house. The Princess was of the Hatzfeldt family. and young Bismarck at the time was his fathers private secretary. Count Herbert lived with the Princess in Southern Italy for
 IL. l. 4, -wn1 of his father returned to Germany The Princess afterwards was divorced and the large fortune of the deceased will go to his 7-year-old son Otto.

ASSAULT IS IMMINENT.
Believed That Struggle at Port Arthur
 Is at Hand.

Chefoo, Sept. -(Midnight. )-Lo- cal students of the military situation at Port Arthur. basing their deductions upon recent developments there. are of the opinion that another grand as- sault Is either occurring at the present time, or is imminent.
 This opinion is based on the very heavy bombardment of the Russian stronghold that occurred on Sept. 16, for such a bombardment forms the usual prelude to an assault; on the arrival here of important messengers from Port Arthur at a time when the running of the blockade is extremely perilous, on a recent authoritative statement that the Japanese siege works are completed and on reports from Japanese sources that at Port DaIny an assault was expected to take place in a few days. These reports were received last week.
 In addition to the foregoing there fs the common Knowledge that the Jap anese realize that their continued inac- tivity increases the resisting power of the Russian garrison.

 Bar Harbor, Me. Sept. 1S.-The Rus sian ambassador has received tlea fol- lowing communication from the gen eral staff at St. Petersburg:
 The official report of Marshall Oyama regarding the interruption of Liaoyang after d severe fight is not ex- act, as Oyama could not name any quantity of prisoners or guns carried by his troops. and without this his dispatch would appear too meagre for the Japanese public. which was await ing news of immense spoil, having been prepared to atone for the trc- mendous losses sustained at the battle by the Japanese army. The Japanese commander in chief invents the follow ing facts:
 Two railway cars and several brok- en up commissary wagons are referrsl to by Oyama as an immense supply of provisions and railway materials.
 Several empty ammunition boxes are indicated as a great quantity of ammunition left by the Russians in the entrenChments and forts
