Could Believe Some of Them.

An amusing story is told of a New
England minister who often speaks in
behalf of a certain charity in which
he is greatly interested. He has \
fine voice and q graphic way of tell
ing incidents both humorous and pa.
thetic, SO that his hearers are often
moved to laughter or to tears
At the close of one meeting, at
which he had spoken with great eff
feet, and large gain for the charity
had been the direct result, little old
lady approached the minister.
"0h," she said, earnestly, I've been
so interested In hearing about those
poor. dear children. And suppose a
great many OF those stories you told
are really true. aren't they ?'-Youth's

THE WISCONSIN SITUATION.
Democrats Have Hope of Capturing
 Part of the Electoral Vote.

Chicago News (1nd.)
 Evidently the Democrats of Wiscon- sin are not disposed to neglect any of the opportunities which the division in the Republican party of that State af- lords them. They have selected as their nominee for Governor George w: Peck, who very likely Is the strongest candidate they could have chosen. MT. Peck has a considerable personal fol- lowing and still retains much of the popularity which helped him to gain his previous political victories. He has the distinction of having been elected Governor on 0 Democratic ticket in a State which has a normal Republican majority of about 100000 votes. Moreover. he has been nomi- mated on a platform dictated by the conservative elements of the party: which made an unexpected showing of strength in the convention: Those in dependent Republicans of Wisconsin who do not care to take sides with either of the warning factions of their party can support Peck without abjur- ing their conservative principles.
 So far as it serves to arouse Demo cratic sentiment and bring votes into the Democratic column, the nomina- tion Is likely to increase the embar- rassment of the Republicans In their effort to secure the entire electoral vote of the State for Roosevelt. The anti-La Toilette faction in it's con tors who were nominated by the reg ular Republican convention. In an acton which Is now pending the anti La Toilette men, known as the "stal- warts" applied to the State Supreme Court to compel the election officials to place the names of their State cam didates in the column bearing the cap tion Republican ticket" They also asked the court to decree that the names of the thirteen electors be placed in this column. together with the names of their own State candi- dates. If the court decides In favor of the La Toilette faction the "stal- warts" are expected to withdraw. If the court decides the other way, how ever, the La Toilette men will fight.
 With two State tickets in the field. but with only one bearing the names of Republican electors, the possibility of a serious falling off in the vote for Republican electors is obvious. A large part of the "stalwart" faction. moreover, is believed to oppose La Toilette so intensely that 1t would give its support to a Democrat rather than to him. Altogether, the Democrats hope of capturing at least part of the states electoral vote seems not with l out foundation

Some Vermont Figures.

dartford IlmeS.
 'The Republican bosses, sometimes called leaders. in Vermont appear to be able to make the plurality for their candidates almost anything they like. The greatest lift they ever got came from the Populists in 1896. As an ev- idence of what could be accomplished by turning the Democratic national or ganization over to the Western radi- calls, Vermont gave in that years na- tional election plurality of 40.490. with a total vote of less than 62,000. In that year the Democratic vote fell to 10637-a smaller figure even than in 1872, when there were 10,927 Demo- cratic votes registered. Two years ago, when the Republicans were divid- ed on the license question and ran two candidates for Governor, the Demo- cratic vote fell to 1884 in the State election. a falling off of more than 10,- 900 from the Governor vote of 1900. It must be borne in mind that neither party is able to increase its vote ma terially by additions of new voters. In the year of the phenomenal Republi- of both parties was 5000 less than the combined vote in 1S72-twenty -four years earlier. The vote at the cleo tion held Tuesday, when fully ascer- tained, will be smaller than the total In the Greeley year thirty-two years ago. Here are the returns of the elections in previous years, from 1872:

Editor The Advertiser:

Editor The Advertiser:
 Your editorial of yesterday rightly voiced the indignation of the people of Alabama at the conduct of the militia at Huntsville. The question. however, comes to every mind. would not young ii they had been backed by the sym pathy of the people. or even the counsel ot some one brave and determined man? The young men in the military compa- E1es, as rule are entirely ignorant of the law as to their duty. They saw the Circuit Judge and the Circuit Solicitor pleading with the mob. They saw the Mayor and police force of their city idle, or begging the mob not to run character and standing and means in Huntsville doing nothing more than ex- pestulate. They saw the Sheriff mak- ins passive resistance. which feared to strike blows in answer to assaults then, they acted on the idea that a mob is not to be dispersed if some of the rioters have to be killed or wounded. In all Huntsville, there seems not to have been a single individual to counsel tie immature youths in the militia that 1t was their duty to fight in defense of the law. Any one who knows the average militiaman In Alabama knows fight. The citizens of Huntsville nor ally are as greatly to blame as the militia. Anybody who knows anything about mobs. knows if the police force had been ordered in the Jail, with in- structions to shoot, no mob would have ventured to attack the Jail. Anybody who knows the people of Huntsville knows that a score of men at least could have been had, who would have shot In defence of the law, if they had been summoned and so instructed by those in authority. The mob was gath ering. The Circuit Judge. the Probate Judge, the Mayor Of the town, four high peace officers, and the members of the bar, and scores of men of standing were in the city and knew what was coming. Does any one doubt. if they had in sisted on the officials doing their duty. dispersing the crowds when they began to assemble, and marking out a dead line around the jail and shooting per sons who came within 1t with hostile intent, that there would have been no disgrace such as that which befell the State. One volley settles mob of the sort that gathered at Huntsville. In deed, 1t Is almost certain that no mob could be induced to gather and attack a jail, If 1t were known 1t would be defended-not by seeing how long the defenders could stand smoke without being smothered, but with bullets.
 It Is high time that all good citizens In Madison were showing their condem- nation of the outlaws who committed arson and murder and trampled down the laws of God and man at Huntsville.

AN AVERAGE SUMMER.
Difference In Opinion Between Plain Citizens and Weather Bureau
 Experts.

Pittsburg Dispatch.
 The ordinary emotions and suscepti- btlities of men. the once common de- ductions and ideas of the average mind have vanished before the pursuit of mathematics arrayed in scientific at tack. Most people have concluded that relegated to the past tense so abrupt ly. noticeably cooler than usual, and that rainy days were frequent. But your meteorological sharp draws the figures from his record and asserts. and no contradiction is proposed, that all this Is a delusion. In fact, the av- craze temperature for the summer was but one degree below the average of last summer. He wisely explains that the hallucination about the summer being radically different arises from the fact that torrid days were inter- spersed by rains and no protracted hot wave swept the land. That's il pre- clsely: The summer was cooler. Add ing all the temperatures up and divid- ing makes an average in meteorology. but a fellows feeling Is a good prac- tical sort of index.
 This average scheme is being over is being tried on food prices to deny the facts known by the mistress of the nome as to increased cost of living supplies. The charming per capita trick Is worked as to the comparative expenditures by governments of all lands, neglecting the known fact that In some countries the budgets include expenses assumed by them, which in America are paid by the States or cit les There Is the per capita method he has about BPS in his pocket be- cause that Is the average circulation per mead These averages are valuable when viewed as distractions, but they never cooled a man off on a red hot gay, nor warmed him on cold one 1 4nls summer was cooler than usual

CHANGES IN ILLINOIS.
Democrats May Win by Unity and En-

ergy.
 Chicago Staff Correspondence Brooklyn Eagle.
 John P. Hopkins Chairman of the Democratic State Committee says:
 Since 1892 the Democrats of Illinois have not been so compactly united as they are now in any Presidential election. The current statement that our party Is still rent by factions and separated by opposing beliefs and in- terests are Republican misrepresenta- tions and need not give the Democrats of the East single moment of uneas- mess. The Republicans argue to this conclusion from the fact that one ele- ment of the Democracy strove with the other for control in St. Louis. The result of the convention demonstrated to the satisfaction of every sincere man that the issues which separated Demo- crats in 1896 and 1900 were divested of vitality before the assembling of the convention.
 Since the convention It's work has been accepted by all Democrats as the wisest and most expedient, as we'll as patriotic, that could possibly have been accomplished. No Democrat has any convention and none does. In Illinois it's declaration of principles and its candidates for President and Vice-Pres- ident will receive the indorsement of all men who have ever been Demo- crats.
 Judge Parker will attract many Re- publican votes He Is indisputably a man of the very highest character and intellectually, and his records shows complete efficiency for the responsibil- ities of the executive office. He Is so strong, capable and safe that Republi- cans who esteem these qualities of su- preme importance are undoubtedly in- clined toNsupport him in preference to MT. Roosevelt There are many Re- publicans also, men who have hereto fore voted their party ticket upon some distinctive proposition of Federal pol icy, who do not see in the present sit uation anything to alarm, or even greatly interest them, and who will probably not go to the polls at all.
 There Is still a great deal of work to do to perfect the State organization of the Democrats. Some of the coun- ties have no organization at all. In the campaign of 1892, when Mir. Cleve- land carried the State by plurality of 26, 900, thirty-six of the 102 counties had no local party committees. MT. Hopkins and the members of the State Committee associated with him, are now giving their attention to these matters of organization, and Mir. Hop kins said today that within two weeks there will be an active local committee in every county. By that time the cam paign will be we'll under way. and 1t will be conducted with spirit and hope fulness along the lines indicated in the interview of Mayor Harrison and MT. Hopkins.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-09-10
THE LABOR PROBLEM.

The President is reaping the legiti- mate fruit of his unlawful meddling in the conflicts between Labor apd Capi- tol. Naturally the labor leaders ordi- narily choose a Presidential year to renew whatever demands they have previously made on employers and that have been refused and they embrace the same opportunity to put forward entirely new pretensions in favor of shorter hours or better wages or the employment of union men exclusively.
 This year when on the face of things they had nothing to go upon, but the fact that it is a Presidential year. they have been more than commonly pre- sumptuous. We are not saying this with any intention whatever of deny ing the usefulness of organizations such as throng all of our cities. They have their undoubtedly useful role in the economy of the business world. But with equal certainty the leaders of these organizations often place them selves in such a defiant and grasping attitude toward employers. that they must inevitably alienate the sympathy of the public at large.
 If the cause for the uncommon out breaks of the past few months at the North and West is looked for narrowly, 1t will be found in the vague expecta- tions excited by Roosevelt. that as a great and good man, he Is prepared to ct maker in every industrial disturbance or strike that may occur anywhere in the United States.
 No one can rejoice in the suffering and violence that seem these days naturally to accompany all strikes, but there will be some satisfaction in re- fiecting that this meddler has cost him self and his party many a vote in doubtful States by his high handed courses. Strikes invariably rebound to the benefit of the party out of power; they recoil, rightly or wrongly on the Party in power and the Democrats however much they may deplore ex- cesses. need not weep in watching the effects of these excess upon the poli-
 
 tical fortunes of the man who pro- voked them.
 The ultimate outcome of the labor agitation if successful can be seen in a country like New Zealand where the Uuions are in absolute control. There. the Unions allow no man to work who Is not a member and they fix the precise hours he may work, no more no less, and they name the wages to be paid utterly irrespective of the product that is turned out by the individual laborer. That this Is the ideal of the labor agitator in the United States there can be no doubt, and there Is just as little doubt that this scheme Is one for which the people of this country will never stand.
