But if there is one thing necessary to
the success of the Republican ticket, it
is that the Democratic candidate shall
deserve and get the loyal support of
Tammany Hall.
Viewing the situation broadly. never
in the history of campaigns between Re
publicans and Democrats were the dis
tiDguishing characteristics of the two
parties SO strongly emphasized as in
this one. The Republicans face the
problems of the day without f~inching
from either the opportunities or the re-
sponsibilities Of action. They have the
necessary convictions, courage and re-
sources to remove mountains.
Ga the other hand. the Democrats ex-
hibit all their old failings of irresolu-
ton, theoretical vagaries. lack of set
tied convictions and conflicting councils
that render them unfit to be entrusted
with the control of the government.
At this stage of the campaign there
seems not the slightest reason to doubt
that the popular drift is with the party
that marches forward rather thar that
which stands still or marks time in the
footprints the other has left in the path
way of national progress. The best
proof Of this is in the fact that the
American people are going about their
daily business without any perplexing
doubts as to what will happen in No
yember.

Best of All

The best of all markets for American
manufacturers and farmers is the home
market. The internal of the
United States aggregates each year more
than 81. VOO,OOO.OO q and is far greater
than the international commerce of all
the world. This vast market is at our
doors. 1t is among our own people. Why
should we surrender it to foreigners, as
the Democratic policy Of free trade
would do, and pay to foreign manufac-
turers and workmen the money that
should go to Americans?

ILLEGAL CORPORATIONS.
Presldent's Action in Enforcing La VS.
Against Them.

An w >
AHain~t Them.
Northwestern Christian Advocate. Sept. 20
In holding large corporations to strict
accountability to the law the President
is serving the best interests of those
corporations as we'll as conserving the
welfare of the country. All corporations
which are operating on an unlawful basis
should be compelled to conform to the
law. If they cannot or will not they
should go out of business. This. some
have been forced by the lawless conduct
of their promoters and operators to do.
to the great loss of their stockholders.
Many formerly wealthy men are now
broken in fortune because corporations
with which they We're connected were
formed and operated in violation of law.
The action of the President in enforc-
ing the law would prevent, not promote,
such losses.
One of the crying needs Of America
to-day is such respect for the laws of
the nation as the President has shown.
He did not make the laws. but it is his
duty to obey them. He has set an ex-
ample which every citizen should follow.
If that be done, we shall hear no more
OF mobs breaking into jails, defying po-
lice and militia. and hanging or burning
prisoners suspected or convicted of
crime, and burning property in a wild
frenzy of disorder and lawlessness.

MINNESOTA FAIR
-. WILL HAVE "PIKE''
Managers Decids to Construct One on
Western Portionsof Ground


The Minnesota state fair is to have a
pike
This was decided upon at an impor-
tant meeting Of the board of managers
held late yesterday afternoon at the
office on the fair grounds. For some
years the board has been dissatisfied
with the old midway, so-called, but it
has seemed impossible to arrange mat
terS SO as. to give strong sideShow
feature and yet avoid the objection
able aspects of the midway. Now the
problem seems to have been solved.
The plan isato construct a pike
much after the fashion of that at the
st. Louis exposition and to give the
general management to a company
which will be responsible and which
will at the sameztime furnish large
part of the entertainment. BY the ac-
ton of the board last evening the
Gaskell Carnival company will be in
charge of the state fair pike, but the
whole will be underline supervision of
the officers of the fair.
The pike" is to be an immense af-
out in an enclosure some $500 feet
long and 500zfeet. wide. This will be in
the western part of the grounds.
1t was also arranged at last nights
meeting to put on three star attrac-
tons at the grand stand each after
noon and evening. One will be the
latest loop-the-loop sensation-the
death trap. Another viii be high dive
act of new and novel character, and
the third will be a flying bicycle act of
a different character from that per-
formed by Schreyer, who has been at
the last two state fairs.

In the line of accommodations the
Central high school leads, being able
to seat 1888 pupils in the building
proper. The fact that the Cleveland
school outranlks the Central in the
number of pupils is. due to half-d day
sessions in the kindergarten and in
the grades.

Col. Jerome Says Minnesota
Convention Was Not so Hot

When I looked over that convention
last Friday that nominated Dunn for
governor of this state, 1 knew there
would be no bolt" said Col. L. H. Je-
rome, a prominent Republican politi-
clan of New York city at the Mer-
chants hotel last night.
1T is solemn thing to bolt a state
or national, convention. I was in the
st. Louis national Republican conven-
ton in 1895 when Teller, Towne, Du
Bots and the others walked out and it
was a critical moment Men were so
moved that the silence was oppressive.
1t takes nerve to bolt convention, and
when l went into the Minnesota con-
ventlon and saw the men ranged up
in fighting order knew on the instant
that there would be no bolt.
eThere were probably dozen or fif-
teen men on either side who were will
ing. to bolt if occasion came, but they
would have hard work to induce any
considerable number of their partisans
to follow them. Minnesota people
know very little of practical politics as
compared to the workers in New York,
Pennsylvania and some of the Eastern
states, and this was by no means the
hottest convention that ever saw.
1t looks as though the Democrats
were going to nominate Judge Parker
at ST. Louis. He is strong man and
stands well in New York. His nomina-
ton will mean a hard fight in New
York state. for though Roosevelt is
popular Parker will give him great
game"
Col. Jerome would not admit that
Parker would carry New York, while
admitting that the result would be
close, for he is an enthusiastic Repub-
lican and came West to attend the ma
tional Republican convention at Chi
cago.j. He had with him last night the
flag of the New York delegation to
Chicago. Since the adjournment of
the convention he has been fishing
along the upper waters of the st. Croix
river in Wisconsin.

FINDS A CRISIS IN
ENGLAND'S FINANCES
Valentine Cloudy Describes the
Appalling Condition of
London's Poor People

Financial affairs of Great Britain
are almost at a crisis said Valentine
Goudy, of North Yakima, Wash, who,
with J. II. Kipling, of London is at the
Merchants hotel en- route home from a
business trip to England. Goudy is
engaged in the canning industry at
North Yakima and is young English
man who makes occasional trips to his
native island on business.
Il found a great change in London
from my last trip of three years ago.,
he said. Then times were easy and
ones credit was easily established.
Now it is all changed. If a man wants
to borrow a hundred pounds he has to
produce five times it's value in security,
and even then business men are at
their wits ends to continue in their in
vestments without sacrificing their best
property.
1.-The financial interests are guarded
and it is almost impossible to secure a
financial accommodation. The papers
are filled with rurnorS of an impending
panic, and this kind of talk puts every
body in suspicious frame of mind. 1t
is hard to sell anything to the jobbers,
for they will buy nothing that they
cannot Immediately convert into cash.
Everybody assigns the hard times to
the effects of the war in South Africa,
and the stringency is right now more
severe than at any time during the
progress of the war.
Poor Are Starving to Death
Il never knew what poverty really
was until 1 went Summing in the great
East end of London. 1t seems imcom-
prehensible that people can live in such
filth and squalor as exist in this great
metropolitan pauper district. There
are thousands and thousands of people
so poorly nourished that they are actu-
ally starving to death, and / saw hun
dreds of people living in houses with
out floors, chairs, tables or any of the
conveniences of life. A loaf of bread
thrown into one of these novels would
precipitate a riot among the occupants,
for they scarcely ever see SO much
provender outside of a bakeshop win
dow.
Thoughtful people of England are
considering if there is not deep seated
error in the fiscal policy of the country
that has produced this appalling con-
dition of affairs among its people, but
j do not look to see any drastic change
in the policies of the conservative
English. They are welded to their
idols-which, after all, may have moth
ing to do with the present conditions.
They feel that the South African war
was terrible mistake to them who are
now paying the cost"

Street Car Conductor Sues Former

yesterday in the civil branch of the

who is said to conduct am employment
agency in the Endicott building. The

was told by Stoddard that one John
Brickford wanted SO buy that half in

Brickferd, receiving a promissory note
in payment. The partnership interest
was duly transferlo But afterwards,

the note and the note was torn up.
