 If the following story is true per- haps women are more entitled to the suffrage than some people think. It is told that at the recent convention of the New York State Women's Suffrage association at Auburn Mrs Martha Will Hams of New York revealed a scheme which she employed in getting the edi- tors of the metropolis to advertise the suffrage movement without paying a cent" Mrs Williams declared that she had furnished much matter to the New York papers pertaining to the rights of women, but it was not published. Finally she wrote to the newspapers a number of letters under an assumed name denouncing the movement. These letters were published. Then she re- piled to the letters, signing her right name. and 'sin that way the arguments waxed so hot, both for and against, that we attracted great deal of 4ar- tention from the public and secured ed- itorials besides, widely advertising our leagues.

If wage earners make good use of their ballots, tariff taxes will soon be reduced; the trusts will take 8 back seat; prices and the cost of living will decline and the incubus of Ding leyism will be lifted from our homes and our industries"

Speaking on this subject the Springfield Republican says: t'His performance as the trapper of $15O,- GOO fee from the Connecticut state treasury under secret contract with weak governor, for collecting an old Connecticut war claim upon the United States government, was morally de- grading spectacle to the common wealth. Gan anyone imagine Roger Sherman doing it, or James Hillhouse, or John M. Niles, or William A. Buck ingham, or Joseph R. Hawley? This one episode, studied in all it's bearings, reveals Fessenden's low civic and po- litfcal ideals. It stamps him as an un- fit person to represent the decent peo- pie of Connecticut in the senate at Washington" No wonder the republ1- cans are feeling little dubious as to the outcome of the election when they put men with such records to the front.

as safe to handle and cart about prob ably as safely as coal oil or naphtha could be carried.
 Tn the early days of it's manufacture, before it's properties were well under stood and before perfection of combin- ations in it's manufacture had been reached, there were some unaccounta- bie explosions and queer actions which gave dynamite bad name, which ever since has clung to it. Knowledge re- garding it has not grown to be general, however, with the passing of years. Now and then one hears of children finding pieces of dynamite sticks and playing with them until some one res- cues the children from suppose great danger, which probably really did not exist for the children would have diff flculty in causing an explosion. Care less workmen. well accustomed to handling and knowing all about it's properties, throw away pieces. some times, and these, of course, while not absolutely dangerous as playthings for children or for others to handle, may just as well be let alone It is one Of the many things which children should not employ in their play.
 Now and then mysterious explosion is laid to the use of dynamite, yet ex- perts know, when they see explanations regarding the affair, that the. condi- tions were not right for dynamite and that undoubtedly 1t was not present at all, and was not the agency causing the explosion. Usually it is some less pow erful agent that is used. Again some man prominent in the public eye re- ceives a mysterious box i1y express or otherwise that is thought to be an in- fernal machine. The police are noti- fed, and take the machine and usually soak it we'll in water before opening it. But if it is dynamite as it is usually deported to be, it will detonate just as readily, even though it may have been soaked in water for twenty -four hours or as many days. for that matter. Therefore. it is probable that these ma chimes do not contain dynamite at all. Water will destroy matches or match heads, gunpowder aad other sybstan- ces, but not dynamite which to render it harmless must be soaked in some substances which will dissolve it's in- lgredients Boston Transcript.

 When spellbinders and party organs get to abusing candidates, calling them names and saying you're another, it most hearts they have a feeling that the people are beginning to see through the game of republican bluff.

HANDLING DYNAMITE.
Not Dangerous If You Know How and
 Take Care.

4nhC >lAlCs
 Many people have, of course, only generally or perhaps vague idea of just what dynamite really is; they view it as dangerous and as an explosive, something to be given wide berth. Yet on the authority of an expert in these matters, man of this city who has manufactured dynamite and who has travelled throughout the country from Maine to California to instruct people in its proper use and handling, dynamite is not an explosive, but is rather a detonator; a difference in de- gree only yet a wide difference in eff fleets. An explosion is caused by the generating or liberating of gases from solid, liquid or other gaseous sub- stance so quickly that the gases form ed cannot be confined in the space of the original substance, a more or less slow process, whereas detOnators liher- ate their gases almost instantaneously. The greater bulk must find an outlet at once, and daes not have time to seek the place of least resistance, but must find space immediately. A deto- nation is. in round numbers, 1000 times quicker than an explosion. A sstrong concussion and spark in com bination will cause 1t.
 Dynamite is not quite the dangerous substance that most people suppose it to be. It can be handled with impu- nity and even recklessly if one knows just how this should be done, and will not detonate except under certain we'll defined circumstances. The market able article, in order to fit into drill holes, is generally in the form of sticks varying from half an inch to three inches in diameter and in length from two and a half to twelve inches. These sticks are formed by packing dy- namite into oiled paper cases of the required size. Only under certain con- ditions will dynamite act in the pur- pose for which it is may be viewed dinary circumstances it may be yewed

tI cannot doubt" said Professor Willard C. Fisher of Wesleyan univer- sity in recent interview, ''that the 1a- bor prohlem is the great prob lem of the near future in America, as well as in other lands, nor that it Is a problem which far over shadows in importance all the prob lems of our earlier political history, the currency, imperialism, the tariff. even slavery itself. And it is because see in the democratic party fairer appreciation of the meaning of the problem and it's merits, and a stronger historic impulse towards the just solu- tion, that turn away from the repub- lican party. The contrasted position of the two great parties" said Profes- sor Fisher in conclusion, "and the ex- tremely dissimilar characters and tenn peraments of the candidates, thus combine to make it increasingly clear that the present campaign does indeed mark parting of the ways as Judge Parker expresses 1t, where the Ameri- can people are called upon to choose between q wise, careful administration of the government, under long-tested and approved principles of the consti- tuition, and the injection into our insti- tutions of large dominance of the personality of the executive, and an unsafe executive at that. And I cannot doubt the safety. prosperity and honor of our country will be best promoted by victory for the democratic party 7

CONGRESSMAN. ARE CLEARED.
Special House Committee Reports on the
Charges Affecting Congressman and
Clears Them From Blame.

washington, April l3.-The report
OF the special committee of the house
appointed to investigate the report
from the pcstoffice department, printed
under the caption Charges concern
ing members of congress-" was nnade
to the house during the day by Chair
man Mccall. The report is signed by
all seven members of the committee.
The minority members, however, ap-
pend supplemental views.
The important phase Of the report
is finding regarding the connection
Of members with the business of the
postoff1ce department. This finding is
as follows:
"After careful consideration of all
cases specified in the report so far as
they relate to present members Of the
house of representatives, which the
committee assume to be the limit of
their jurisdiction, they have unani"
mously reached the conclusion that
nothing has appeared in connection
with said cases that would justify the
finding that any member of the house
of representatives has profited finan-
cially in the slightest degree, or that
any member was guilty Of improper
conduct in connection Herewith, or
that any member has done in connec-
ton with any of said cases anything
that did not appear to be within the
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1904-04-13

according to long established custom.
Having reached this conclusion the
committee feel constrained to add
that in their opinion it would be we'll
to make as formal as may be and to
restrain within the narrowest possible
limits the action of members in con-
nection with postof1ces~and the details
of other executive matters and that
the severance of members from work
of that character would augment the
efficiency of the house of representa-
tives.
"In conclusion the committee would
direct attention to the fact that this
inquiry has come upon the house sud-
denly and without any notice to its
members. Their correspondence has
been brought to the light with that
department of the government with
which their relations are most init
mate. In no instance is it likely that
they expected the letters which they
wrote would be published.
"These letters we're written under
q great variety of circumstances, in
haste and some doubtless by the pri-
vate secretary Of member; some OF
them formal and some of a personal
nature.
1T is to the credit of the member
hip Of the house that correspondence
of this character thus collected to-
gether should contain so little Of an
unfavorable character"
