A Question of Veracity

Toward the close Of the last Presidential
campaign, Judge Parker, the Democratic
candidate for President, publicly asserted that
the Republican committee was receiving large
contributions from corporations 10 be expend-
ed for the election of Theodore Roosevelt. This
assertion was promptly and publicly denied
BY Roosevelt and be called upon Judge
Parker 10 prove the truth Of his assertions.
Unfortunately the proof was not obtainable a;
that time and Judge Parker inability to sub
init it made the assertion somewhat Of a
boomerang.
The sensational disclosures growing out OF
the Insurance investigations IN New York,
however, have furnished the proof OF Judge
Parker's declaration. although il comes too
late TO benefit him. The disclosures Of some
months ago settled that par, Of it, but it re
manned for the report Of the April Grand
Jury of New York City TO elinch the matter.
In that report the Grand Jury stated thst
il had failed to fully investigate the matter Of
campaign contributions because District At
lorney Jerome advised waiting until certain
opinion could be obtained from the Appellate
Court He went on TO say that II the Grand
Jury indicted without that opinion some Of
the leading men Of the country would be in
VOWED including she caiei financial officers
Of every great financial Institution in The
country. Further that II would be neceSsA
~ to summon Postmaster General George b.
Corielyoa aud Cornelius n Bliss the chair
mAu and treasurer Of the Republican cam
paign committee
This statement proves, 6rss, that the great
financial institutions did contribute 10 The
campaign fund. and second, that il was 10 the
Republican committee that such contributions
were sent.
IL also shows thai the DENIAL Of prssidpn,

A United Democracy.

The chairman of the Democratic convention
of Kansas in his address to the delegates
sounded key note that will have interest in
Massachusetts and shows that united Democ-
racy from the East to the West and North
and South is again to be an accomplished fact.
1.-THE people of Kansas" said be, ''send this
slogan across the Mississippi Valley and over
the Appalachian Mountains TO New England.
We are for free raw material, and we are
willing to give to the laborer of the East
free hides in competition with our hides, be-
cause the beef trust robs US even of the hair,
and then sells'the balance to the eastern man
ufacturer at higher and fixed price, so that
the poor are shosless. Our Republican Con-
gressmen have misrepresented us long enough.
We are in favor of the old.fashioned doctrine
as enunciated by Samuel j. Tilden and re-
enunciated by Grover Cleveland of tariff
for revenue only. The time is past when we
should protect trusts and capitalistic combina-
tons. Protection, as declared by the Repub-
liean party, is now used as an aid TO the rich
to become richer and for the poor to become
poorer" Hurrahl for the unterrifed Democ-
racy of Kansas.

Ten persons are dead as result of the head
on collision on the Pennsylvania Railroad,
near Glover Creek Junction, on the night of
May f. Six were killed outright and four
died as a result of injuries received. About
20 of the passengers and train crew were more
or less seriously injured; but, as far as is
known, all will recover. The disaster was the
result of a costly freight wreck which occurred
at Union Furnace, Pa, at S25 O'Clock. Au
eastbound freight train burst an air hose near
the forward end of the train, and q loaded
cars piled up and blocked all tracks. On such
occasions the Petersburg Branch is used by
the company for the movement of its passen
ger traffic.
On May 2, the family of Samuel Kresge, of
Reeders, Pa, had most thrilling experience
during an electrical storm. A bolt struck the
house and falling plaster swoke the family,
seven in number. yonug daughter was
rendered unconscious for an hour. On one
finger of her hand she wore a ring and with
it the lightning bad done most unusual thing.
The ring had been cut in two pieces by the
severity Of the bolt, and the pieces we're found
on the pillow alongside the girl. She will
recover.

Editorial Notes.

The railroads and the trusts still have
strange hold on the American people, in spite
Of the loosening effect of the San Francisco
earthquake on pretty near everything else.
The free alcohol bill is hung up in the Sen
ate Finance Committee, and chairman AL
drich is preparing to investigate the question
thoroughly" As Standard Oil will be the
principal loser, by free alcohol competing with
gasoline and naptha, it is quite possible that
the grey wolves may hold up the bill for this
session. Those Republican farmers who have
been electing Republican members of legisla-
lures and thus saddled themselves with those
who ride them to their own uudoing, will have
to change their politics or still find the market
for their grain limited as heretofore.
1t will be interesting to notice, when the
State Republican platforms are promulgated,
how far the Republican politicians will follow
President Roosevelt in his proposition to con
fiscate the property of the very rich. Parly
organization must be preserved at all hazard
and the party leader is entitled TO full obedi-
ence, or the party machine will be worthless.
The ship-subsidy steal is still one vote shy
of being reported favorably by the Committee
of Merchant Marine and Fisheries, and Gen.
Grosvenor and the lobbyists have expended
all their efforts so far for nothing.
The standpaiters will hardly dare stand out
against abating the tariff on building material
to the unfortunate San Francisco sufferers,
though they will still continue the tariff tax
on homes for the balance of US.
The advantage of an indirect tax like the
tariffs, as one of the principal standpatters
said, the foolish geese don't know who is
pluck ing them, but the Republicans are dis
covering that the voters are getting their eyes
opened.
Secretary Shaw is so thick with the Rookie
Teller City National Bank and other Wall
Street bankers that he is virtually paying in
terest on the gold they are importing from
Europe by advancing the cash without inter
est. on security other than United States
bonds. 40 him that hath shall be given is
the motto the Administration follows.
II was only a year or two ago that Senator
Lodge voted to strike out the imprisonment
clause Of the antitrust act and now he pro-
poses imprisonment for railroad managers
guilty of granting rebates. Has Senator Lodge
repented or is he trying that old Republican
dodge Of trying to fool the people?
Republican Senators tried TO snub Senator
La Toilette by refusing to listen TO his speech
on railroad rate regulation, but the people in
the galleries listened and spplsuded.

Negro Lawlessness in Washington.
From the Baltimore Sun of May S.


No less than FIVE white women have been
attacked by negro men in Washington within
the last 10 days. Two of the attacks were
made in Rock Greek Park and two in the sub
urbs. Only one of the miscreants has been
captured and the others are at large, ready to
repeat the outrages at the first opportunity,
and women in suburban places are said to be
terrorized.
Ever since the Civil War Washington has
been the happy hunting hunting ground of the
negroes, and they have never ceased to gather
there as city refuge. In Washington the
negro has his own way as he has nowhere else,
even in Philadelphia or Boston. In the North
ern cities the policemen have no sympathy for
negro, and they keep him in order But in
Washington he is recognized as Government
pet, and the police force deals with him very
tendery and allows him many privileges. The
white inhabitants stand in awe of him and give
him the right of way on the sidewalks, and the
negro driver often seems especially happy
when he is trying to drive over white man.
By the census OF 1900 there we're no less than
4S, 900 negroes living in Washington who were
immigrants from beyond the District lines.
These negroes swarm TO Washington because
they have more liberty there than anywhere
else outside of Guinea. They get Government
offices, sit on iuries and those who do not feel
like working are supported by women OF their
own race, who hire themselves as cooks and
housemaids.
Washington by the census of 1900 had the
largest negro population of any city in the
world. Baltimore comes next, but relatively
Baltimore is far behind. Here less than one
fifth of the total population of the city was
colored in 1900, while in Washington the col
ored population was about one-thlrd of the
whole They are so numerous, so bold and
aggressive that the white population is more
or less overawed by them. When the negro
''hustles'' a white man or woman on the street
the latter gives way, because personal con-
flict is unseenly. In the street cars the negro
is especially conspicuous and selfassertive.
Under such conditions as prevail in Washing
ton, it is inevitable that the negro should be
come lawIess. Unless the Washington author
tiles deal with the matter with more frmneSs,
the city will have to solve race problem of
ever.increasing difficulty and danger. II the
assaiants Of the white women this last week
are permitted to escape, more assaults will fol-
low in increasing frequency.

IN MEMORIAM.


In loving remembrance of the late Mary D.. wife
Gorge Hosfelt, of Brummel. who died May 9, 1906
How long she struggled 'gainst disease
Which bafled skill and care,
And long she fingered. racked with pain.
And suferings hard to bear.
What is home without our mother?
'Tis our cottage robbed of flowers.
Where our broken, pleading hearts
Will spend many lonely hours
Oh, mother, must we give you up,
You whom we loved so well;
How can we drink the bitter cup,
And say last farewell
Her busy hands are folded.
Her work on earth is done;
Her trials are all ended,
Her heavenly throne is won.
Our mother now has left u.s.
From suffering passed away;
To join loved ones in heaven,
In the realms of endless day.
Forbear, dear friends, to mourn and weep,
Whilst sweetly in the dust sleep;
And when you come my grave to see,
Prepare yourself TO follow me.
BY THE FAMILY.
