Old Landmark Burned.

An old house in Sunset Park, one OF
the landmarks of Brooklyn, N. Y, has
been burned. It has been thought the
house was used as hiding place for
Charley" Ross Immediately after he
was kidnapped in Philadelphia. The
house was relic of revolutionary
times, and recently had been used by
a park watchman as a shelter. Mis-

Protection Does Not Protect.

Protection does not seem to work
we'll in Iowa, for, although the crops
have been ample. the census bureau re-
ports that the population is decreasing
in that state. Prosperity that should
be rampant there is either not being
given out in thick enough chunks to
prevent her people emigrating to Can
ada or the railroad corporations and
the trusts have SO plundered the people
they are compelled to seek other fields
that offer better inducements.
This decrease in population of the
greatest agricultural state in the I'm
ion cannot be blamed on the Demo
Gratis, for that party has had no chance
to legislate for over nine years. and
the population of Iowa was increasing
when that party was in power. Can
1t be possible that the Dingley bill has
so fostered trusts that high prices are
driving the people Of Iowa to other
countries?

Protection Figures Proved to Be
F~a11aciOus.
Again the position of the Democrats
has been sustained, and this time Of
fcially, on the increased cost of living.
During the last campaign, and, in fact,
for six years, the bureau of labor, un-
der Carroll d. Wright, issued It's bulle-
tin explaining, with a mass of juggled
figures, how the cost of living and the
the same proportion. The Democrats
asserted and proved by unimpeachable
facts and figures that prices for the
necessities of life had risen about 4C
per cent, while wages had only Slightly
increased. Now the bureau of labor is.
the cost Of living is largely in excess
Of three or four years ago, while wages
have not correspondingly increased.
1t has not been necessary to inform
those with small incomes that it costs
more to live now than formerly. The
housewife in millions of homes knows
that too we'll. She and the breadwin.
ners also know if their income has kept
pace with the outgO. 1t is an outrage
however, that a bureau created to as
sist labor should have, for evident par
tisan purposes, continued giving out
false and juggled figures to help prove
that the protective tariff, with it's fos
tered trusts and their high prices, was
an advantage to those who work for q
living. The protective tariff itself has
not directly increased the cost OF some
articles, but it has fostered the trusts
and a general era of extravaganza anC
high prices. with which most incomes
find it difficult to cope.

A STERN POLICY.

Victoria. E. C., Oct 11.-A dispatch from Tokio ly the Empress of Japan states that a stern Korean policy is to be adopted by Japan following the an Eouncement of the AnglO-Japanese treaty. Korean publlcists state freely that since the treaty guarantees the freedom of Japan in it's prosecution or Korean interests the shadow of ko- tean government will shortly be swept away and practically suzerainty over Korea established. Several Jap apase papers state that foreign minis rers in Korea will probably be with drawn shortly. A Yokohama paper says part of the Manchurian army may be quartered in Korea instead of heinz withdrawn to Japan as a con certed uprising of the Koreans. abet- ted by officials of the Korean govern ment. is considered too imminent possibility to be treated lightly. The recent attacks upon Japanese admin Istration in Korea by two newspapers published by Americans at Seoul have angered Tokio politicians and there IS n demand for their suppression.

ROYAL MESSAGE.
What King AIphonso Recommends to
 Chamber of Deputies.

Madrid, Oct 1.-The royal message to parliament which King Alphonso read before the chamber of deputies at 2 o'clock this afternoon presented the governments projects for electoral, jul dicial and police reform, the organiza- tion of workingmen's pensions, modi- fication of the liquor laws, the admin istration of the Bank of Spain, reyis- ion of the code for military instruction, the construction of the new navy and the acquisition of war materials.
 The message declares that the rela- tions between Spain and the foreign powers are cordial and tend to the elaboration of the treaties of commerce and referred to the Morocco negotia- tions in which Spain takes an active part, having adhered to the internation- al conference for the purpose of set ting contested questions between the powers.
 The message closed with expressing the hope that the work of parliament may be profitable to the nation.
