Political BOssism ia Illinois.

More of the signs of the times all in
dictate plainly enough that one of the
most vital issues in this years cleo
tons will deal with the syStem of poll
teal bOssism and machine politics,
which the republicans have developed
10 high degree of perfection in many
states, Illinois in particular.
Hard blows were dealt the system
last fall in Ohio, Pennsylvania. and
New York. The insurance exposures
of the past winter have wrecked the
Plat and OdelI machine. War of ex-
termination upon the republican ma
chine which has so long dominated the
affairs of Pennsylvania is the purpose
of the alliance between the democrats
and the new Lincoln party in that
state. Even in Vermont there is re-
publican revolt against the scandalous
methods which. of late. characterize
every detail OF republican organization
and party management. The indepen-
dent spirit of Luke Poland inspires so
large number of Vermont republicans
that they have formed an independent
organization with which the ever loyal
Vermont democrats have fused TO fight
the ringsters.
But, says an optimist, there is not
state in the union in which the politi-
cal machine has been so perfectly de-
veloped as in Illinois to crush all free
dom of political action. In no other
state have the gangster and the boss
been more supreme at the polls and in
state and county conventions.
Ex-Governor Yates, in his contest for
the senate, has exposed many of the
sins of the Cullom-Hopkins-Ca Cannon
combine. but he has told hardly more
than half the story of bossism in Illi-
nois politics. He has said nothing
aboIt the state machine which Cover
nor Deneen has organized with 1000
placeholders. nor has he brought out
clearly ;--e Get that the fight between
the factions of the republican party
in Illinois is mainly series of COLI
sions between rival machines.
The crowds that have turned out to
hear Yates's denunciations of federal

GRAND JURY DIVIDED AS TO
INDICTIkG ice DEALERS

New York, Aug. 15.-The members Of
the grand jury are not or one mind on
the question OF finding indictn ents as a
result OF the inquiry into the price of ice.
No witnesses were heard yesterday. but
so far as can be learned some OF the
grand jury are in favor OF indictments.
They think that the price of ice was not
raised because OF natural conditions, but
because OF a criminal conspiracy.
There are others on the grand jury who
believe that natural conditions I'm the ice
business brought about the present price
OF ice and that there was no conspiracy,
although there may have been some talk
I'm the trade OF putting up the price OF Ice.
There are % members OF the grand jury
and IL takes II 10 find an indictment.
After the grand jury adjourned yester-
day Foreman Bernard Karsch and Ed
ward l.. Hillyer, a commission merchant
who Is a member OF the grand jury, had a
talk with Judge Rosalsky. The confer
ence was about the ice inquiry and the
question Of indictments was discussed
Mr.. Karsch refused TO go into details of
what went on.
