DEATH OF
LINEMAN

An inquest on the death OF Thomas +.
Donahue, the Providence lineman who
was shocked 10 death on Aug. 7. was held
before Associate Justice Charles c.
Hagerty In the Attleboro district court
yesterday.
Four witnesses were heard, and Judge
Hagerty will make known his finding in
a few days.
DIR. Charles s Holden. the medical eN-
aminer, testified that he saw the body OF
Donahue near the South Main street
crossing at about 80 o'clock on the after
noon of Aug Z. and II was at that time
lying on the ground near the pole where'
the witness was told, Donahue had oeen
working The man had sustained an elec-
trio shock. and had fallen across the wires
below.
There were no marks on the body nor
did the autopsy held the next day show
any burns. which are usually founu III
cases OF electrocution.
Cases are rare where a burn or some
other external mark is not found out
under CERTAIN atmospheric conditions IL
was possible for a man TO be shocked 10
death without a mark being left on the
body.
Daniel ]. spelman. one Of the en-
ployes of the Providence Telephone COM
cany. and fellow workman or Dona-
hue, said that he heard the lineman groan
and saw his hand on wire. Suddenly
ne became released from the wire ne
moved his arms. and started 10 fall head
downward 10 the ground. He was stand
ing up straight. and IN his fall his leg
became tangled in the wires and held
him.
Witness helped 20 take Donahue from
the pole. His eyes were open and star
ing the mouth was open as IL the man
was rasping for breath. but there was no
attempt TO speak. Efforts to revive him
were continued even after Or. Holden had
pronounced the man dead.
Spellman said that he had made no per-
sonai examination OF the wires. but as
the telephone wire on which the men were
working was only 400 or 800 feet long, lie
did not think that IL could have become
crossed.
He had never known death TO result
from contact with n Western Union Tele-
graph company wire. Witness found
nothing wrong with the wires In the
Immediate vicinity OF the accident.
furthermore. Spellman said that he could
offer no explanation as 10 the cause or
the accident. but did not think that Dona-
hue suffered from heart disease or any
othC%- shysical ailment.
Charles c. Choate. another lineman.
testified that he examined the wires for
a distance OF AZ poles toward Providence
from the South Main street crossing, but
found nothing wrong. He helped In the
rescue and received a slight shock from
contact with n fellow workman.
Edward Brecher said that he had known
of one man being killed by a Western
Union wire, but In that case the telegraph
wire had become crossed. Witness aided
in the rescue and received a severe shock
from having his ear touch the wire upon
which Donahue was working.

LARRY NEAL FOR GOVERNOR.

We believe Hooking County will be- and the Eleventh

The evident anxiety of the Re-
publican press of the state to in.
ject national and international
questions, SO called, into the pend
ing Ohio campaign, is but natur-
al. The leaders see in thus doing
the only hope of success at the
November election.
And yet national and lnterna-
tional questions are of the least
possible Importance to either Re-
publicans or Democrats at this
time. Mere academic or abstract
questions, of apparent local
application have no place in
the campaign.
The enormous wrongs perpetrat-
ed on the people Of the state in the
addition of Office holders, and the
increase of salaries and fees, and
the creation of new and dishonest
emoluments, during the past ten
years, by legislatures that were
overwhelming Republican, at the
dictation of mercenary bosses and
Hobbies, and with the connivance
of Republican officials who filed

Ars Porto RIeans Americans 2

We are certainly getting to be badly
mixed as to who's who under our flag.
OF course those of US born In "the
United States proper"-God save the
mark!-w white. black or yellow, except
Chinese and japanese, are citizens.
White foreigners may be naturalized,
no matter from what country they
come. Hawaiians of the United States
Improper are not permitted that great
privilege. Neither are the Filiplnos
nor the denizens OF Guam. 1t had been
thought that the Porto Ricans could
be naturalized. hut the other day the
court Of appeals Of the District of Co
lumbia decided that they are eligible
for employment by the government In
this country under the civil service
rules. which is probably the first step
toward complete naturalization. So
those who are objecting vociferously
to wholesale immigration from Europe
would do well to keep weather eye
on Porto Rico. A man once remarked
that he liked hash because he knew
what he was eating. 1t IS not neces-
sary to explain that he was endeayor-
Ing to be humorous. We are rapidly
becoming hash people, II such a
term Is permissible. The Porto Ricans
are said to be amiablo folk. but the
chances are that not ono in ten of them
Is at for American citizenship. The
fact that a man Is amiable may be an
argument in his favoh when his other
qualities are taken into consideration.
but surely no sane person win claim
that amiability alone Is enough to en-
title one to the proud distinction OF be-
ing an American citizen. In addition

EeksIs to the Fore.

Hon. james H. Eckels, erstwhile
comptroller Of the currency under
Cleveland, is rendering himself some
what conspicuous these balmy. spring
days by opposing railroad rate bills
Evidently ''the OK knoweth his owner
and the ass his masters crib" Mr. Eek
els Is now president Of Chicago
bank and is earning his salary. He
claims that capitalists who invest
their money In railroads have the
right to control the rates. That's oil
they want. 1t Is. Mr.. Eckels' misfor-
tune to have millions of people differ
with him In this matter, but some years
ago William II. Vanderbilt expressed
Mr.. Eckels' opinions more forcibly than
the ex-comptroller can do 1t by bluntly
exclaiming. "The people be damned!"
OF course Mr.. e. Is too refined to use
cuss words, but he and Mr.. Vanderbilt
simply use different formulas; that's oil.
Their idea Is the same. No man Of sense
has any prejudice against railroads.
They hold to this theory, however-that
vast powers and privileges have been
conferred upon railroads by the public
and therefore they ought to be held to
the strictest accountability. The people
have made up their minds that wGy,
and Mr.. Eckcls and all others may as
well take notice. If they do not get out

payers for the enrichment of the
perpetual office-holders Trust,
and the case-hardended Barnacles'
Association, is the only important
issue before the people of Ohio in
the year. 1905.
If they will unite and drive the
one central boss and his satillites
and grating minion, gathered
from the four corners of the State
out of the capitol building, they
will be able to reduce their tax
burdens 25 per cent within the life
time of single legislature, and
place them in position to once

affairs and secure just and rea-
sonable administration of public
affairs and the public officers.
But this lie only made possible
by turning bodily out of the de-
partment, and loudly promised re-
form with both hands in the
state treasury up to the armpits.
OF course the bosses will en-
deavor to create unreal and i'm
aginary issues, hoping thereby to
secure new lease of power. But
the issues are: An end to Official
dishonesty-An end to looting
and plundering the public reven-
nes-An end to lobbying in the
Legislature-A return to the
simple methods Of honesty in both
! public and private life.

commanding services to humanity.
Maintaining the struggle with
the one great and almost insoluble
problem OF our time, working un-
der the most serious difficulties,
courageous in the face of many
discouragements, these people
have manfully represented the
hopes, the ideals and the tradi-
tions of their country and the log
ic as well as the heroism, of our
national history. If any man is
SO foolish as to ask why the Demo-
cratic party has been true to the
South, in it's time of trial, and
why this attachment has been re-
Quilted, it must be becauee he
knows little of history and less of
human nature.
sit is now insisted that the Gen.
eral Government must tax and
manage all corporations, must
oversee insurance and trust COM
panies, and must either own the
railroads or dictate to their own
ers the minutest details of their
business. 1t is thought necessary
to interfere with capital on the
one hand and with labor on the
other and to define the relations
they must bear to each other.
"One of the most popular of all
these processes is interference
with elections. States must or
ganize and control the police of
cities and dictate even the small
est of their policies; while cities
1 and towns must enter into the
competitions Of business. AS the
process goes on down interference
with harmless personal customs
and habits seems to be only natu-
raj and logical.
"Now, we do not resent these.
things because they are new, but
because they are old-as old as
tyranny itself. We know that, as
a people, such promises must be
redeemed in the currency of ag-
gression, of Capitalization, of per-
sonal government, and, finally, in
loss of liberty. We can but recall
our own national history and con-
clude that, after all, the best way
for a people, as for an individual.
to keep out of trouble, is to avoid
the thing sure to bring complica-
tion.
''It will not only be our duty to
resist these strange tendencies, so
clear as to show the method that
is in them, but we have more work
to do, more far-reaching reforms
to promote, more moral issues to
meet, than we can know or realize,
until we begin to look the situa-
ticn fairly in the face.
