The superintendent of the Chicago

in an address before the women of
Chicago. says the Toledo Times, that
the larger per cent of the men who are
to control the destines of the country
in the coming years are to be found in
the ranks of the newsboys rather than
among those who dwell on the boule-
wards. Those who have had much TO
do with newsboys know that this Ia

The boys who are learning to hustle

The county carried BY the Democrats
in 1900 was by SO small a margin that
it hardly counted. If the Republicans
have now carried only fourteen coun-
ties, which is all Mr.. Burleigh makes
positive claim TO. there is Republican
loss
The Republicans. Mr. Burleigh told
the President. have elected an over
whelming majority of the Legislature"
No one doubts that, blt Mr. Burleigh
unfortunately neglected to furnish par
ticulars. The Republican majority in
the Maine Legislature has been ''over-
whelming' for many year. In the
election of 1896 it was 10. there being
but six Democrats in the Legislature
then elected. In 1898 it was 1872; in
1900 it-was 142; in 1902 it was 139. So
far as returns hav4 been received they
indicate a gain for the Democrats in
both branches. There will still be an
overwhelming Republican majority,
but an ''ominous'' diminution of its
size The Maine election cannot be re-
garded as a safe indication of the drift
of the popular current on the presiden-
tial question. Neither that moi the
Vermont election was ominous of the
November result-Cleveland Plain

it The protective system is the key
note. If the early emancipationists,
with Clay at their head, had been lis
tened to, there would have been no
war of sections, slavery would have
been put in the way of gradual extinc-
ton, another labor system would have
been built up in the South, even the
tainiy got rid of as a disturbing force
But the Shareholders. OF the cotton
States, cinging to what had become an
oligarchism, would not have it, That
which was moral question. and

South bred extremism North.
Even as the slave-owner claimed his
rights in the Constitution of the United
States does the tariff-lord claim his
rights in the protective polity of the
Republican party. Originally slavery
was regarded at the South as an evil.
1t became a divine institution" In
like manner, protection was a provis-
ional affair meant to aid our Infant
Industries. 1t has become an article
of faith, a fundamental doctrine. a
part of the creed, of Republicanism.

when the storm breaks, he shall be
ready for it; so the mariner; SO the
statesman
The brains of America, the genius of
America, are not now in what is called
public life. They are engaged in for
building. They devote themselves
to works of construction. They are
money makers. Few men of energy
and ambition, with the opportunities
of the time before them. are willing TO
surrender freedom and affluence at
home to take poverty and slavery at
Washington. To men of the second, or
third class therefore is committed the
government of the country.
Inevitably, some of them are cor
rupt, whilst most of them are the
merest hangers-on of fortune; here to-
day and gone tomorrow; adrift from
one election to another: ready to seize
and cling to whatever plank SENS like
ly to carry them; and, no matter
whether they call themselves Republi-
cans. or Democrats. equally time-sery-
ers and tide-waiters.
The circumstance gives a great
though temporary advantage to those
persons of brains and wealth who have
an interest in taking. or who. for the
love of exploitation and power put
themselves 10 the trouble Of taking an
interest in political affairs. The tariff
lobby is an old and familiar figure in
the national capital. SO is the railway
lobby Hence the power and at the
same time the unpopularity of the
trust
Mus far on our iournfl rom the
cradle of political infancy IL whatever
goal may lie before us, We have wealth

nations; the struggle for existence; the
outer assault; the domestic broil: the
disputed succession. We are no longer

teaches, If nothing else that nations.
like individuals. rise to their fullest
stature through privation and against
obstacles. that they fall through lux

The Republican party can no more

BLAMED FOR HORROR.

Ignorance and Lack of Discipline
Caused Slocum Disaster.
A long report has been made public
concerning the investigation by the New
York board of steamboat inspectors of
the General Slocum disaster, which oc-
CURED in the East river last June and
cost nearly 1000 lives. The report Is
signed by James A. Dumont and Thomas
H. Barrett, and is addressed to Supervis-
ing Inspector Robert s. Rode. 1t con-

the licenses of officers aboard the Slo-

master and pilot Edward Van Wart.
pilot, and Benjamin 4. Conklin, cher
engineer.
Briefly summarized the principal points
in the report are
That the lfe-preserving appliances in
the vessel We're adequate, but that had
the Slocum been supplied with double
the number not another life would have
been saved because of the ignorance and
Incompetence of the crew.
That there was absolute lack Of disci-
pline on the part Of the crew because
of the negligence of the master and OF
the pilot.
That fire drills had been negle,ted
and that had the crew been trained as
the law requires such a disaster would
have been almost inconceivabie.
That one of the crew, in his Ignorance
added to the incipient flames by throwing
thereon an empty bag which had con-
tanned charcoal
That the chief engineer was grossly
negligent When notified of the fire in
that he did not see that the hose had
been connected and the water turned on.
Under the law the board took up only
the conduct of the vessels licensed Off
GERS. The other phases of the disaster
were investigated by a special commits
sion appointed by order OF President
Roosevelt and consisting of Gen. Wilson
OF the army and Commander Winslow of
the navy. This commission has not made
public its report.

SCHOOL GIRLS PERISH IN VAULT
Nine Dead and More Than a Score of
Others Escape Same Fate.

OtASAS A<~NdpG same dIGs
During the forenoon recess Friday of
the Pleasant Ridge school, seven miles
north of Cincinnati, nine school girls
were suffocated in vault, while more
than a score of others narrowly escaped
the same horrible death. During the
rest of the day the suburb was wild with
mingled excitement. sorrow and indigna-
ton and those openly charging the ca
lamity 10 official negligence made serious
threats, among them being many women.
When the recess was given about thir-
~ Of the smaller girls all from the pri-
mary grades, we're in the clubhouse as
signed TO them, when suddenly the floor
gave way, precipitating them into vault
Twelve feet deep and walled up with
stone ike wall There was four feet
OF water or filth, that would have been
over the heads of the girls falling IN IT
singly, but those falling foremost filled
up the vault so that others were not en-
tirely submerged. The girls fell eight
feet from the flooring before striking
the filth and the struggles of those who
We're on top kept at least nine under
meath until they were dead.
The frame sheds over these vaults
were about twenty feet square, without
windows and with only one narrow door
way so that only one little girl escaped
from the door. She ran into the school
building and told the teachers what had
happened. Principal I. l.. Simmerman
and the other teachers rushed to the res
cue.
The women gave the alarm about the
vicinity, while Principal Simmerman Sc
cured a ladder on which the drenched
girls climbed out, most of them fainting
as soon as they reached the surface. The
screams of the girls were dimly heard
while within the vault, and they were
most of them unable to speak when res
cued. The teachers We're soon re-enforc-
ed by the entire population of the town,
the police and fire departments render
ing most effective service.
Those able to climb out on the lad
ders themselves were rescued by Prin-
cipal Simmerman, who finally tainted.
Then others went into the vault and kept
bringing out dead bodies until the vault
was cleared. The hremen drained the
vault so as to be sure that the rescue
was complete.
Those engaged in the rescue work re-
cite the most CHASTITY experiences. Even
those rescued alive presented such an
appearance as to make many in the crowd
of spectators faint, but the sight within
the vault beggared all description.
