WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
A Friendly Critic.
70 the Editor of The Journal.

To the Editor of The Journal. -
AS a subscriber, reader and adnlfrer OF
L he j oUrnal, feel called upon to
take exception to certain editorial utter
ances of T he GU al Of June %, to-
wit, one headed, Annoying to Demo
Gratis" wherein you refer to the soup
kitchens of Cieveland's administration,
second term. Now. it would be easy for
democrats to retort in kind and refer TO
from 1872 to 1876, when the need of soup
kitchens was fully as great as it was
from 1892 to 1896. But this is very poor
argument.
Why not be fair and admit that these
We're merely effects of causes that existed
prior to either of these administra tions and
over which they had no control?
In the same issue is another editorial
entitled. What Little Reciprocity Work
Did" have to disagree with you on
your construction of the reciprocity clause
in the national republican platform Just
adopted at Chicago. I believe the "stand-
patters" mean just what they say therein
Their reciprocity and Blaine's are two and
distinct kinds of reciprocity. The first Is
the bogus kind, and the latter the gen.
| utne and as long as the ''standpatters"
have control of the republican organiza-
ton, and especially while they have abso-
Lutte control OF the United States senate,
there is no hope for relief by either reci-
procitE or q revision of the tariff except
upwards. I have admired The J u r
rs position on reciprocity and hope it
will not allow it's partizanship to get the
best of its judgment, and finally reach
the level Of a party organ instead of a
great newspaper. Yours with great re-
srect, VIM. c. Forman.

Cincinnati, July "a special from

Cincinnati, July "a special from
st. Louis to the Commercial Tribune
says:
Among the ''big fellows the
strongest Cleveland man in the coun-
try is James j. Hill of the northwest.
He is not making any noise about 1t,
and his friends in the delegations will
maintain a cautious silence, but if the
time should ever come when there
is real opportunity for Cleveland,
the Hill delegates would come to his
aid with a rush.
Mr.. Hill doubtless controls more
delegates to the convention than any
other one man. The men who would
be with him if he needed their polit-
followers here, but they would be
pleased to take orders from him. He
has large railroad interests in a
dozen states in the union, and the
men who manage these properties
naturally have a good deal to do with
politics.
In some of the states he controls
these Hill railroad interests In the
state delegations is much larger than
generally known.
BY having quiet and confidential
talks with the delegates, one can get
a glimpse of the real Cleveland sup
port. In Hills case there is first en-
countered a strong personal dislike
and distrust of Roosevelt The rail
way magnate considers the Northern
Securities litigation a personal at
tack upon him and his properties
He uses violent and hasty language
in talking Of Roosevelt. and there is
no length to which he would not go
to bring about Roosevelts defeat.
Mr.. Hill is worth between $50, 000,-
900 and s100,oO0,O0O. His income is
greater than the total riches of most
of the famous millionaires. From
this vast wealth he will give with un-
stinted generosity If he thinks the
money would aid in defeating Roose-
welt.
Those who are as near to the rea
sentiment of Mr.. Hill as men ever
get, say that he considers Cleveland
| the only man who can come ever
close to defeating Roosevelt. HI
! thinks that the nomination Of Parker
might be good thing for the demo
| cratic party; that it would bring abou
a complete reorganization and unfit
cation; but he is not specially inter
ested in the democratic party, excep
as means to an end. He doubles
| would give freely to the democratic
campaign fund if Parker is named
but not literally.

AN IOWA VIEW OF 1T
SiOuy Civ Tribune


The victory of Dunn in Minnesota Is
a full brother to the victory of Blythe
in Iowa, and it stretches out the hand
of sympathy and good wish to the stall
warts Of Wisconsin. /.
The issue Of railroad dominate in
politics is emphasized. The Burlington
railroad merger commenced in Iowa to
get its revenge on the champions of the
law, The victory Of Blythe meant a re-
Duke to Roosevelt for his part In prosecut-
ing Rlythe's employers. The victory Of
Dunn in Minnesota is an act Of revenge
on Van SAINT for his part lin the case
against the Northern Securities company
The people Of Iowa unanimously approved
| OF RooseVelt's course but they We're in
duced by false representations and false
| issues forgive him a slap more or less
direct. The people of Minnesota were with
Van SAINT and Roosevelt against the mer-
ger, but they were hoodwinked thru the
methods of practiced railroad politicians,
and were greatly misled by the false issue
OF the city versus the country.
| Thus is the issue of the railroad domina-
| ton of politics brought forward again.
1t Is an insolent, defiant challenge to the
people of two states. 1t must mean q
fight if the people are to maintain their
rights; for the victors will assuredly be
looking for the fruits Of victory in the leg
| islatures They will not be content with
bare revenge on those who have upheld
the law and respected public sentiment.
The outer works of the people have been
won. The citadel of legislation remains to
be defended. If Dunn shall be elected and
is later given a legislature in harmony
with him, it is easy to guess what will
be accomplished in the way of lawmaking
and repeating old laws. Van SAINT is HUI
inflated, so far as the nomination is con-
cerned, but there remain the laws avail
able for another Van SAINT. If the people
of Minnesota want those laws to remain
on the statute books they have got to fight
now.
| In three great states, Iowa, Minnesota
and Wisconsin, the railroads propose
to be the whole government The issue
of whether they shall be or not has ap.
l peared before but it never was so sharp
lily drawn and dangerous to the cause Of
popular government as it is today.

If ten years make one genera ton
on Park row, it is the third general
ton Of New York writer's which now
knows Allan FOrman, who, as critic
correspondent, editor, publisher, syn
dicator and traveller, has held a prom
inent place in the journalistic world
for more than twenty-five years. He
illustrates the theory that Journalists
like poets-are born, not made. Be-
longing to a wealthy mercantile fam
lily, he was intended for the counting
room and the bankers desk; but even
in his school days he displayed a love
for the pen rather than for the pro-
sale details of commercial life. He
began professional work in the sew
enties, where a rich diction, a happy
satire and strong dramatic instinct
made his contributions acceptable to
both the newspapers and the maya
zines. From free-lancing he settled
down to be an editor and critic, and
for several years was one of the bril-
liant coterie which made the Ora
matte Times power in the thespian
world. The young critic soon won
the esteem of the stage. He was just
in his judgments, quick in his appre-
citation and full Of kindly aid to his
tr1onlc newcomers. The narroWness
| of the field ere long cramped his en-
| ergies and he reached out into gen.
eral writing.
! In 1884 he founded the Journalist
with which paper he has been identi-
fed ever since. His idea was novel
| it being newspaper for newspaper
men, and did not appeal to the gen
eral public whatever. On account OF
| it's clientele, the new publication
adopted the highest standards and has
maintained them without deviation
The innovation proved a success. II
| won the esteem of the craft as wei
as of that larger body which enjoys
literary work without taking part il
its production. Thus from the very
start the Journalist had following
among lawyers, scientists, Statesmen
and professional men, apart from
those who made living by the pen
/ How FOrman has succeeded il

works which were to have been set off
here last night in Wright park as a
finish to the big Fourth of July cele-
bration, caught fire from almost the
first rocket that was. sent up and in
an instant the entire heap of ex-
plosives was flying in every direction.
About four dozen eight-pound rockets
flew thru the audience Of 10000 per-
sons, creating a panic in which
many were injured. Others were
struck by the flying explosives and it
is estimated that as many as fifty were
more or less injured, none fatally.

FLAMES AT FAIR
CAUSE A PANIC.
Cafe in Jerusalem Concession De-
stroyed The Orientals Be
come Wildly Excited.

st. Louis, July 5.-Fire broke out
early today in the kitchen Of the
American cafe in the Jerusalem con-
cession at the worlds fair grounds
and for more than an hour threatened
Festival hall the West pavilion and
the whole Jerusalem exhibit.
After considerable excitement
among the Turks, Arabs and other
crientals who were asleep when the
fire broke out, it was gotten under
control. The American cafe, which is
in two wings and deliberately fur
nished, was Quilted in both wings. The
loss is estimated at $4,000.
Upon Chief Christy's arrival with
the first company the fire had very
dangerous aspect. Not 200 feet away
was the magnificent machinery hall.
Tt looked as tho it might also
burn. Altho the entire fire fighting
force Of the fair was on the scene
the chief deemed it advisable to turn
in a second alarm, bringing the city
department to the scene. The fire was
| limited to the one structure in which
| it started.
| The restaurant was two-story
building erected of staff. It cost about
| $4,000. The equipment was valued
at $4,000. 1t is a total loss, but is
fairly covered by insurance. 1t was
owned by the Jerusalem Catering
| company.
The cause of the fire is not known
| The widest excitement prevailed
all over the Jerusalem Enclosure by
| the time the fremen arrived. The
| sounds of the shots fired by the
watchmen had awakened 700 persons
| who occupy the various buildings OF
the exhibit
Without waiting for clothes, many
| Jumped from windows or rushed into
the streets, half clad. Others thought
Of their possessions and packed theil
trunks, only to throw them from the
| windows when they had then
strapped, fearing they would be un
able to convey them safely down
stairs Trunk after trunk was thrown
to the street, breaking open when
struck the ground and scattering
trinkets and souvenirs of Jerusalem
on all Sides After them, their own
ers would jump, in danger of bein
seriously injured, but none susta1ne'
more than slight bruises by thel
leaps.
Wadic Shachity, a Syrian, who live
within the enclosure, rushed from nj
rooms to the scene of the fire and a
! he passed the Central hotel a trun
him upon the head and felled him t
the ground. He was picked up ur
conscious and was sent to the emeI
gency hospital. His injuries ar
thought to be serious and perhaI
fatal.
A. j.. G. Jeurs, manager of the res
taurant, and his son, Norman Jeur
were compelled to leap from the SEE
ond story windows of the building
save themselves. They were fir'
awakened by the shots fired by tn

have an excellent opportunity just now
to secure the office of governor of Min
nesota again. Acting upon this belief,
they are canvassing very carefully the

to candidates not easily controlled by ag
