Sheehan Arrives.

William F. Sheehan arrived from Kew
York at 1920 p. m. Both his own and
Judge Parker's carriages were at the
station to meet him. and the judges
coachman told Mr.. Sheehan that he was
expected at ROsemont Immediately. He
entered his own carriage, however. aud
was driven home. and will not call upon
the nominee until late this evening. Mr.
Sheehan seemed TO be utterly tagged
out and IS in need of sleep. He had
nothing 10 say of the developments Of
his stay in New York. and said he WIS
not in position to make a statement
regarding either the national chairman
ship. or any plans that may have been
already made for the conduct of the
campaign. He will remain in .gEsopis
about a week. and viii then return TO
New York
MIR Sheehan was accompanied today
by his stenOgra pher. Inasmuch as Mr.
SheehaT had intended remaining In the
metropolis until the beginning of next
week, il is surmised here that he bears

corning the campaign No other Wis

A few. a very few members are

Altogether it is difficult to understand
Why such a rumpus was raised about
the publication Of TIE report, or why
any effort 20 suppress it should have
been made.
Possibly the few who are shown up
favorably, were responsible for the at

they would have been better Off if they

the report. The fact is that Beavers
name tainted every action OF his de-

that would not attach to that same

THE SPRINGFIELD MOB.

THE OCCASION. not the environ
ment. makes the mob. Given the
occasion the mob spirit cannot be sub
dued, apparently, in any community.
There is the Ohio case of Monday night.
In Springfield negro was brutaIIy
lynched because he had killed a col
Ored patrolman while the latter was
trying to arrest him. 1t is easier to ac-
count for some lynchings than for this
one. In cases where a woman has been
assaulted it is easy to understand how
the dwellers in the neighborhOod can
become so inflamed that they insist on
taking the law into their own hands.
Here. however. was an ordinary sort
of killing. too ordinary. A desperate
negro. attempting to avoid arrest, shot
down an officer of his own color. The
same thing has happened many times
before; viii happen many times again.
Yet this negro was taken from a strong
jail IN a city OF considerable size, a city
full of educated, intelligent. law-abid-
ing people, and lynched in a most brutal
manner. First the victim was shot to
death. Then his body was hanged to a
dreds Of bullets We're fired into it.
All this early in the evening. when
women were doing their late shopping,
when the patrons Of the theatres We're
abroad, the shop windows all lighted
and the streets thronged with pedes-
TRANS. No unenlightened, backwOods
community here. no ignorance Of the
workings OF the law, no savage disre-
gard FOR the rights Of others. Spring
field is a city Of more than $4,000 peo-
pie according TO the census Of 1900. 1t
is rated as one Of Ohio's most progress
i've towns. And yet this lynching.
early in the evening. was possible.
though the officers had had ample
warning and should have been ready TO
protect their prisoner at any cost.
Instead Of doing their duty, the Off
GERS, after a brief resistance and on
the pretext of saving the lives of other
prisoners actually pointed out 10 the
leaders of the mob the negro who was
wanted We cannot fail 10 note the
strong contrast between this and the
most recent Mississippi case. The COM
parison is all in favor OF Mississippi
There the governor, hearing that a
lynching was imminent. though he had
been branded throughout the country
as an advocate Of mob law and a hater
Of negroes. placed himself at the head
Of militia company and rescued the
man the mob sought to hang.
The people Of Ohio viii be so busy for
some time picking this beam out OF
their own eyes that they won't be able
to see and comment on lawlessness ard
disorder in other states.

a ROCKEFELLER SUPPORTER.

THE DEBATE in Nebraska as to
whether or not it is proper to ac-
cept a handsome donation from John
d Rockefeller to the state university.
continues to rage with unabated vigor.
Harper's Weekly is the latest Rookie
feiler champion which, in view Of the
Weekly's connections. is not surpris-
ing. 1t thinks the people Of Nebraska
are foolish to wait even a minute before
swapping up Mr.. RockefeHer's offer. In
a recent issue the Weekly says:
The Nebraskans had better take all OF
Mr.. Rockefeller's money that they can
get. II is excellent money. II they think
he has too much. they should rot neglect
70 relieve him OF what they can II they
think he has been raDaciUus. they should
encourage him i'm liberality- If they think
ms gains are ia gotten. they may at least
assist IN making his disbursements benC-
uciaL IL seems wise to regard Mr.
Rockefeller, not as rellow human
creature but rs a mental force. the exer-
else or which I'm trade under conditions
which have prevailed in TINS country dur
ing the last thirty years has been at
tended with highly interesting and in
structiYe results. IT seems no more eN-
pedient 10 reject his offerings than to
throw back into the sea parcels Of wreck
nothing. Nebraskans, Fetch ashore all
you can. The sea, at once destructive and
9ountitul, is a part Of nature. So is Mr..
Rockefeller.
Nevertheless there is abundant room
for argument. Miss Ida Tarbeu scored
a bulTs-eye in this connection when she
said that the recipient OF a gift be-
comes. sooner or later, the apologist Of
the donor. The thing carnot possibly
be figured out any other way The Uni
versity of Chicago bears the Rockefel-
Ter brand. We are willing to concede
that this university has accomplished
a vast deal Of good but there isn't a
teacher in ii who would dare to express
an honest opinion of Mr.. Rockefellers
methods.
If the University Of Nebraska by ac-
cepting Rockefeller money did not be-
come an apologist of the Rockefeller
methods it would furnish the first in
stance of the kind on record. Anything
else would be rank ingratitude and Mr.
Rockefeller knows it as well as the
faculty Of the university. One Rookie
Teller university at a time is about as
much as the country can stand.

MILLION DOLLAR PRESIDENT.

president ROOSEVELT has coet
the government more during the
less than three years he has been in
Office than Presidents Garfield. Arthur.
Cleveland for two terms. Harrison and
Mckinley for five years all combined
cost That is, the Roosevelt expendi-
lures for maintaining the White House,
for equipping and furnishing and re-
furnishing it. aggregate a sum greater
than the sum expended by or for all
the presidents named. Mr.. Roosevelt
may come to be known az the million
dollar president. and that very shortly.
The presidents latest request is for
10000 to be used in building q stable
in which to keep his horses. He de-
clares that the stable now IN use is so
damp and dingy that his horses are
threatened with chronic influenza and
that their health has been seriously
impaired. The new home for them
must be built at once and built on high
er ground go that they may be kept
free from all forms of disease common
TO horses Of the presidential stripe.
The average man who works for his
living would feel very comfortably
housed in cottage that cost, including
the lot, $500. Thirty-six such homes
could be built for the price Of the new
stable the president desires. 1t will be
seen that President Roosevelt considers
nothing too good for his horses. But
after all. considerable as is the sum
President Roosevelt wants the govern
ment to pay FOR his horse palace, it is
trihing when compared with some Of
his other extravagances.
The following statement, taken from
the records. furnishes an idea Of the
Roosevelt method of maintaining the
dignity OF the presidential Office. The
items are:
