was taken.

1t is said that on one of his recent
visits to Rumford Falls Hugh J. CHS
holm of New York. was asked from
whence was to come the business to
maintain the new and good-sized brick
blocks which are now being built, and
which are planned for various sites on
the island. To this query Mr.. CHS
holm is understood TO have replied that
within three years the population in
town would have been doubled by the
influx of wOrkmen to be employed in
new manufactures to be established.
Such statement from such source
would indicate busy times indeed. 1t
is said that already plans are drawn
for a third canal which Is to be car
ried from the upper falls along the
hillside on the west shore of the river.
and that on this canal. on the westerly
edge of the village, is to be built
another great paper mill. 1t is also
rumored that the Continental Paper
Bag co. contemplate the building of a
three story addition TO their present
huge plant. This, it is claimed, will
contain 100000 feet of floor space. and
will employ many more men.

A curious elOpement is reported from
the town of Denmark. A young
Pennsylvania recently arrived there
in response to the matrimonial ad-
vertisement of Denmark damsel. but
after visiting the family few days he
decided that he preferred the mother to
the daughter. and as the mother re-
turned his affection the two .eloped.
The daughter. thus doubly left in the
lurch, is wondering if advertising
really pays.

the support of both parties, but today

THE EDEN TRAIN HORROR.
The FneraI Of Many Of the Wreck We
Tins Took Place Today at Pueb.

Pueblo, Aug. 10.-Undertakers and
livery men were severely taxed in sup
plying hearses and vehicles for the ful-
nerals of the wreck victims today, but
all were finally accommodated and
soon long lines were vending their
way to the various cemeteries. The
search for victims was resumed at
daybre ,k, but chances of the further
recovery of dead grow fainter as time
passes, although many persons sup
posed to be victims are yet to be ac-
counted for. The work of Identified
tion has been difficult and the names
have been duplicated with tridiuy va
riations, thus swelling the lists. The
identified dead as reported this morn
ing with addition to the bodies re.,ov-
cred yesterday make the list of dead
identified seventy-one, with three still
unidentified and twenty-eight missing.
The coroner's jury was brought TO-
gether again this morning and resumed
it's investigation.

are violated whenever any citizen i!
denied the right to labor, to acquire
and enjoy property or to reside where
his interests or inclination may deter
mine; and the fulfillment of the assur
ance to rebuke and punish all denials
of these rights, whether brought about
by individual or government agencies
should be enforced by every official
and supported by every citizen The
essence of good government lies in
strict observance of constitutional linn
litations, enforcement of laws and or.
der and rugged opposition to all en-.
croachments upon the sovereignty OF
the people.
"The foregoing suggestions but EN-.
phasize the distinction which exists
between our own and many other
forms of government. 1t has been we'll
said, in substance, that there are but
two powers in government, one the
power of the sword, sustained by the
hand that yields it, and the other the
power of the law, sustained by an en-.

ference in these powers is the differ.

ours, based on laws and written con.

virtue, and patriotism-and mon

rates and so framed in particular in

from the people.

of the Republican party and at leas
two Of it's state conventions have
dared to voice the general sentimen
on that subject. That party seems
however, to be collectively able to har
monize only upon one plank that ad
mits that revision may from time to
time be necessary. but it is so phrased
that it is expected to be satisfactory
to those in favor of an increase of du
ty to those who favor a reduction there
of and to those opposed to any change
whatever. Judged by the record OF
performance, rather than that of pre-
Use, on the part of that party in the
past, it would seem as if the outcome
in the event of it's success would be to
crafty the latter class. With abso
lutte control of both the legislative and
executive departments of the govern
ment since March 4, 1897, there has
been neither reduction nor an attempt
at reduction in tariff duties. 1t is not
unreasonable to assume, in the light OF
that record, that a future congress OF
that party will not undertake a revis
ion of the tariff downward in the event
that it shall receive an Endorsement
of it's past course on that subject by
the people. 1t is fact and should be
frankly conceded, that should our par
ty be successful in the coming contest
we cannot hope to secure majority
in the senate during the next four
years, and hence we shall be unable
to secure any modification in the tar.

PARKER NOTIFICATION
AT ES0PUS TODAY

Accepts With a Speech That Lacks
Vitality and DeCiSiVeneSS.

Esopus, N. Y. Aug. 10.-NotiEcat
Day, the greatest in the modern his
tory Of Ulster County, arrived with a
pouring rain which set in just after
daylight. The unpropitious weather
and the comments of Judge Parker's
family and guests on the subject were
received by the Judge himself with a
simple smile and he went about the
business of the day with his usual
cheer and spirit.
Under a CIouded Sky.
Esopus, Aug. 10.-Judge Alton E
Parker was today formally notified
of his nomination as candidate of the
Democratic party for President. Ghe
ceremony occurred on the lawn o1
Rosemount, his handsome country
home In addition to the notification
committee and many prominent MEN
of his party, hundreds of citizens
friends and neighbors assembled to
witness the vent. The weather was
not auspicious. The sky was overcast
and threatened a downpour, but in
spite of these unfavorable signs, it
was decided that the ceremony should
be held on the grounds instead of on
the boat which brought the notification
committee from New York. Before
Representative Champ Clark had con
cluded his formal address the rain be-
gan to fall fiercely, but Judge Parker
stood bareheaded in the shower to re
ceive from Clark's hands the official
letter which informed him of the &C
ton of the St. Louis Convention.

in this extemporaneous remark:

to maintain that standard"

pages of typewriter matter, Judge

the latter, resulting in the loss of life
and destruction of property. The per.

have had meted out to them the most
rigorous punishment known to the law
This crime, added perhaps to others,
led to the formation of committee of
citizens that with the support of the
military authority deports from the
state, without trial, persons suspected
of belonging to the organization of

members. In both cases the reign of
law gave way to the reign of force.
These illustrations present some evi-
dence of the failure of Government to
protect the citizen and his property,
which not only justified the action of
your convention in this regard, but
made it it's duty to call attention to
the fact that constitutional guarantees
