JEROME IS CHOICE OF
MEN WHO SPURNED Him

New York, Oct. 2s.-William Trav
ers Jerome was unanimously nominated
last night for district attorney by the
same delegates who had turned him
down at the republican convention two
weeks ago. Then the leaders strained
every nerve to keep Mr.. Jerome off the
ticket; last night they were moving
every influence to get him on. Chair
man Halpin told the delegates that he
had been assured by able lawyers that
Mr. Jeron1e's name could be legally
placed in the republican column. :
The convention admitted that it had
made mistake in not nominating Mr..
Jerome in the first place. ~ - ~5ai

PARTNERS KILLED IN
4 TRAGIC COMPACT

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. 2s.-A dis
patch from Skaguay today says: -.
It is believed James Murray, other
wise known as Moreira, murdered his
partner, James Fisk. last March at Hall
but bay, near Zeldovia, while insane.
The skeleton of Fisk was found recent
" by natives with a rifle ball in the
back. 1t was identified by clothing and
letters found on the body.
In the cabin twenty steps away were
found blood-rusted razor and knife,
and there were bloodstains on the fur
niture. Murray is supposed to have
committed suicide, as he had never been
seen since last February.
In letter left in the cabin, Murray
says he had but few hours to live.
Then follows incoherent religious and
socialistic utterances. Another, to an
unnamed brother, says:
IT have agreed that Fisk should kill
me today at o'clock, and he is to
be killed after me by my agency All
this is for wrongs in our past lives
and for the sake Of humanity. We have
agreed to wipe out all scores Of the
past in sane and friendly way so that
in doing this we forgive one another as
well as forgive our enemies.'

Stickney and Roosevelt.

Mr.. Stickney somehow reminds one
of the man who was SO straight he
tipped backward a railroad president,
he is SO zantirailroad that, he has the
appearance Of being hostile. From x no @
other man; has, such seathings comment le
on the rebate and midnights Schedule
come as from Mr. Stickney.-. Nobody
has punetured.2 the, balloon Of expert:
rate making SO savagely as he. While
politicians have. doubted and shippers
have questioned whether the president
was right in demanding railroad leglss-
lation, Mr.. Stickney has been steadily
by the president s side, metaphorically
speaking. ...... ...ss~,,
He was there last night when the
banquet in honor of the president s
anniversary was held in st. Paul, and
nobody could possibly have been more
luminous or convincing than he on the ihee
necessity Of taking hold Of the rail-
road problem. + .s..&. ,.- - .:.l,.::<
Mr.. Stickney differs somewhat from
the president on several matters. - He
would not have the interstate commits
sion make rates, but would entrust that
duty to board of arbitrators, leaving
to the interstate commission the duty
Of searching out unreasonable rates
The interstate commission would thus
become the prosecutor and would serve
neither as judge nor jury. This is q
matter Of detail which could canse M
controversy between men who 7W were
agreed upon the principle Of govern
ment regulation Of rates. Mr. Stick
ney also inserts the idea that the arb
traitors should act as umpires between
railroads and should have the poWe
to raise rates as well as to lower them
There is nothing wrong about this ide'
either, because it is sometimes the arb
trary lowering of the rate which l work +
the mischief. The railroad does it,

S MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP At'FAD'7
Marshall Field.

Municipal ownership is a fad, like the
silver question was. and we will find that
1T will drop out Of the public mind soon.
I predict, that within five years we In
America shall not hear anything about It.
I certainly don't agree with the PROPOSE
ton that municipal ownership would
tend. to do away with graft. On the
other hand, I believe that opportunities
for corruption would be greatly increased.
Besides city, under public officials,
could never be operated as a private cor
poration. The business Of the municipal
lily would fall into untried hands, and
? what would SEEM everybody's business
would prove to: be nobody's business.

to Mr.. Longworth. All this long list
of denials, tho exceedingly interesting
to the female reporter, CRATES upon the
ear. One cannot help wishing that
Miss Roosevelt had not lowered her
dignity by denying those false reports
about herself nor lowered her self
respect by denying those which are
true. In any case, could she have kept
out Of the. newspapers altogether, 1t
would have been better. I'd 3a,@ -: 2a

The Russian Situation.

The Russian situation looks more
serious for bureaucracy today than at
any time since the late war began,
The strike of the unions has spread
to all classes and today st. Petersburg,
Warsaw, Lodz and other centers Of
population are practically cut off from
government. @ &
The revolutionists are said to have
established a provisional government,
and to be giving instructions for the
conduct Of the revolt in all parts of the
empire. It was reported yesterday that
Trepoff had issued instructions to the
troops to fire upon armed strikers. It
is reported today that those instruc-
tions have been withdrawn, the govern
ment being afraid to take this step for
fear Of engu1fng everything in ruin.
If the autocracy is really in this condi-
tion Of incertitude, its situation is
grave enough. It may mean that the
army is disaffected and cannot be re-
lied upon to fire when ordered, or that
the revolutionists are strong enough and
well enough armed to give an account
of themselves in conflict with the
army. The spread of the revolt at the
very time when the czar was counseling
with Witte on the enlargement of the
scheme Of the douma, soon to be called,
Els interesting. It ! indicates that the
<revolutionists have active and intelli-
gent leaders and have been able to

ell which will fasten upon them the sub
