COUNCIL AND COMMISSION.

These are two clements of local gov.
ernment that require the best and most
deliberate consideration Of the Repub.
licans and such citizens as are allied
TO the present high purpose of that
party, and they are the Common Coun-
Gil and the Police Commission. Not
that they are to be considered pre-
eminent and beyond the rest OF the
ticket the Republicans have put out,
but that they are essential to the
working out of that purpose and must
be confirmed by majority at the polls
that will show the real trend of popu.
lar feeling in the present premises.
Every man must be elected on that
ticket, but there must be no half.
hearted expression az to council and
commission nominees. To thdse two
branches of municipal government the
people must turn for financial and
moral safety; they are the authorita'
tive sources of control and their patent
of authority from the people Of this city
must be of a certain and ineNorable
kind that cannot be misunderstood by
any one be he Republican, Democrat.

SENDS AGENTS ABROAD.
President Has Several Commissioners
Inspecting Trade Conditions.

washington, June 26-President
Roosevelt has sent a number of conf
dental agents to Europe to investigate
commercial conditions with a view to
making some recommendations on the
tariff question which will improve the
condition of American trade abroad.
These ENJOYS are travelling as private
citizens, and until they have made
their reports to the president nothing
will be done looking to tariff legisla-
ton by the next congress. Agents
have been sent to Great Britain, Ger
many, France, Russia and China.
Among European manufacturers
there is resentment against American
goods because they have driven the
home products out of their markets.
while the Dingley tariff law practically
excludes many foreign-made articles
from this country. Germany has de-
nounced the reciprocity treaty of 1896
and will in few months put the
maximum tariff rate in effect against
American goods, which threatens a
serious loss of business to American
manufacturers. Russia has taken the
same action because this government
imposed countervailing duty on SUI
gar exported from Russia, on which
that government paid an export boun-
ty. Both Russia and Germany are an
xious to enter into reciprocal relations
with the United States and other ma
lions are DESTROYS Of securing some
concessions.

SPEED CRAZE is FATAL.
DR.. Washington GLADDEN. Inveiehs
Against Desire For Rapid Travel.

Columbus, o., June 26.--Rev. DR..
Washington GLADDEN. preached last
night at the First Congregational
church upon the Speed Craze" After
referring to the craze for speed in cy
cling and automobilng and It's attend-
ant risks and consequences, DIR. Glad
den said:
This greed of velocity has worse
still to answer for. The recent reck
less speeding of railway trains is part
of the craze. / can not believe that
any real interest of man is secured by
these furious schedules. They are 4
fruit of the distemper Of the time.
They involve risks and perils to train
men, as we'll as to passengers, which
are, l believe, wholly unwarranted by
any normal human demand. 1t can
not be safe to send such prodigious
constructions thru the air at seventy
miles an hour. The awful casualty at
Mentor the other day emphasizes the
peril.
1T is quite misleading to say that
the speed of the train had ioth,n to
do with the accident. 1t is true that

seventy, but it is not at all probable
that a half or quarter of the destruc-
ton of life would have occurred at the
lower rate of speed. The momentum
of the train would have been Just half
as great land the crash just half as
terrible. Any breaking of a wheel or
axle, any displacement of a switch, any
obstruction on the track means vastly
more of death and destruction to a
train moving at that high rate.
Speaking more generally, it is evil
dent that this speed craze is only les
sening our pleasures and increasing
our perils, and is also shortening the
lives of many who are not victims of its
slaughters. The rush and hurry are pro-
ducing great crop of fatal nervous
disorders. That haste makes waste of
life in many cases is far too mani
fest"

WANT TO BE DIRECTORS.
Equitable Men Anxious to Get on the
Directorate.


New York, June 26.-Unless the
form of the proxies pow being pre-
pared for the use Of the Equitable
trustees at the next election of direc-
tors is changed. there is every pros
poet that many of the policyholders'
directors chosen under the present
plan will be Equitable general agents.
This was learned yesterday from a
member of the Association of Metro
politan Agents in this city.
At the next election Of directors thir-
teen new members of the board will be
chosen. or these the policyholders
will elect seven and the trustees six.
The form of proxies which is being
prepared Will be sent to all poliGyhold-
ers, with request that they fill in the
name of a candidate for director The
place for the candidates name is left
blank. 1t is this fact that opens the
way for the general agent to a seat
in the society's directorate.
AS soon as the agents learned of the
new form which will be used by the
Equitable they began to prepare to take
advantage of the situation.
An immediate effort was made by
cdCIl OlSlTlCl dScilt w tte Po's'Nt.''''o'i
OF at least five shares of Equitable
stock by purchase or otherwise. so as
to be able to qualify for place on the
board of directors. At least three of
the heaviest writer's of insurance IN
the United States recently have ac-
quired five shares each of Equitable
stock and the markets is being comb
ed by bookers In the employ of other
wealthy agents who want shares in the
society.
1t is known that there are at least
sixty shares of Equitable stock in the
market, sufficient to qualify twelve
new directors. The stock can be pur-
chased at about $4,000 a share. and
sic, 900 is considered very little to pay
for place in the directorate of the
society. Already the general agents
have set about obtaining promises from
persons they have insured to vote for
them when the new proxies are sent
out.

Memorial Hall Saturday, discussed
race prejudice. its causes and its cure.
The remedy he proposed was inter-
marriage with whites. In his remarks
he said. The strongest proof of mans
essential unity is that nowhere mas
nature placed any impossible barrier
between the varieties of mankind who
mingle their blood wherever they come
In contact.
"The destruction of slavery and the
marriage laws of the south have
checked in some degree the mixture OF
the races, but the strain of white
within the negro race, thus bringing
about gradual change Of type and the
customs of slavery have not entirely
disappeared.
I'VE have had preached to us a new
doctrine, that of race integrity. We
told that we must glory in our color
and zealousy guard it us a priceless
heritage. This seems to me a modern
invention of the white people to per-
petuate the color line
Il not only believe the mixture in RAJ
ces will in time become an accom-
plished fact. but it will be good thing
for all concerned. Millions of foreign
ers, much nearer the negro in some
respects than our native whites. are
pouring into the country. Perhaps In
the economy of divine providence
they may help to solve problems by
furnishing q bridge with which to
span the race chaSm"

AT Ashtabula several months ago when
a Lake Shore passenger train was

the wreck were identical with those
of the twentieth century limited and
that wreck resulted in five deaths.
1t was Fireman A. P. Gorham who
revealed to the coroner this bit of in

have carefully guarded. Gorham also
stated that the trainmen had made

RESTORE FAST TRAIN.
Twentieth Century Limited Will Be
AGAIN Put On Fast Schedule.


New York, June 26.-The famous
Twentieth Century Limited train,
which was wrecked by running into an
open switch at Mentor Ohio, will be
restored today to the position of the
fastest long-distance train in the
world. After a conference with his
staff lasting thru the entire day. Presi-
dent w. H. Newman has issued an Or
der which places the Century" on it's
former eighteen-hour schedule be-
tween Chicago and New York.
This action was taken after a most
rigid and searching investigation into
the facts, which resulted in the unan-
irnous conclusion that speed was in no
way a factor contributing to the dis
aster at Mentor. For this reason, and
this alone, President Newman ordered
the restoration of the old schedule.
Had there been the slightest doubt In
the mind of single operating official
of any of the New York Central lines
upon this point the twin Century
fiiers would leave Chicago and New
York today on twenty-hour schedule.
In determining the issue, safety, and
safety alone, was the paramount con-
sideration, and stress of competition or
the possible loss of prestige was not
perrnitted to have any weight. That
such would be the case was stated
definitely and decidedly by President
Newman at the outset Of the confer
ence. and reiterated many times when
ever the question of competition or
prestige arose in the discussion.
