Bourke Cochran Talks in Ohio.

dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio, last
night says: A large crowd heard w. Bourke
Cochran speak in Central Armory tonight.
The meeting was the first large gathering
of the democrats of Cleveland and Cuya-
hoga county. Mr.. Cochran was introduced
by Mayor Johnson, and was the only speak
er. His speech was a review of the funda-
mental principles of the two great parties.
He took up the question of the prosperity
of the country. and said that If the pres
ent prosperity was the fullest that the
country could enjoy the republicans should
be retained in Office. but If it was not the
fullest that is possible they should be
hurled from power and the democratic
party placed in control of the government.
The speaker said that the return to demo-
cratic principles would mean the better
ment of the condition Of the workingman in
shorter hours of labor and an increase of
wages, such a condition being brought
about by the increased production which is
a fundamental tenet of democracy. He said
that democracy gives to the workman 80
per cent of his production the remaining
10 per cent being the profit on the capital
Invested.

method of digging the big ditch are
the engineers who want to do all the WORK
by that process.
For weeks past the residents in this To-

day by the constant putting Of the steam
cranes and the shouts and calls of the
workmen. At It's best this was most annoy
ing to lovers of a quiet home but this has
developed to be the least of the worries that
come from so close contact with a gigantic
engineering feat.
The sidewalk in front of the row of

developed a tendency to leave the houses
in the lurch. In several places wide cracks

Veteran Actor Dies a Pauper in Prison

A dispatch from New York last night
says: Maurice C. Pike, sixty-seven years
old, once Edwin Booths leading support
and famous throughout the country, died
last Friday at Harris Island, where he
was serving a sentence of six months for
vagrancy. His death was not publicly
known until yesterday. Three months
ago the old man was found sleeping in q
hallway in the Tenderloin and was sem
fenced by Magistrate Flammer to six
months Imprisonment. Friends of the old
actor missed him along Broadway. and
few days ago began a search for him.
Their search ended at the morgue, where
they found the body of the once-famous
actor, who had died a pauper and a con-
victed vagrant. Less than a year ago
Maurice Pike was still in harness, a pros
porous actor, playing "Kugo" the hunch-
back spy, in Belascos Darling of the
Gods. When he left the company he be-
gan debauch which dragged him to the
gutter. He refused the aid of old friends,
though many efforts were made to have
him become an inmate of the Actors
Home. Pike began his career in the
Bowery Theater more than fifty years
ago. He was once manager of that house.

to avoid payment of a debt, but it
transpires that this eleventh hour
arraignment is connected with a
business mix-up into which Mr..
Long was drawn with the encour-
agement of the aforesaid party
and his son, and from which he
emerged sans the money which he
had invested and encountered
with a load Of Indebtedness that
he has been manfully liquidating
for the past three or four years.
The debt referred to was one that
the party aforesaid was morally
obliged to pay in part, and one
that he did finally pay in part.
And Mr.. Long paid the other half.
We bespeak for Assessor Long
the support tomorrow that his Of
fetal record deserves, and If he
receives that his untried opponent
-Williamson-will hardly know
that he has been running.
Vote for Long!

1t is a foregone conclusion that

Lincoln, Union and Meade-at
the primary election tomorrow,
and it is only fair to say that the
distinction will come to him well
merited and with the appreciation
of a large majority of the tax
payers. There is everything to
commend his nomination. He has
had the experience. He is capa-

it is wiser and best to continue
that which has been tried and not

the matter of his official duties.
The best evidence concerning this
charge is the record of his assess
ment of pipe line property, but
it is a notorious fact that none OF
this evidence has been used for
the very good reason that if used
it would be a boomerang for his
maligners. The Eureka Pipe Line
company and allied interests have
been treated by Assessor Long
with the same fairness and impair
TALLY that has characterized his
official dealing with others, and
his enemies are so well aware OF
that fact that they have persis-

figures that alone have to do with
the case.

been attacked to any great extent
because of the exceeding lack OF
material for such an onslaught.
