WENT ON A RAMPAGE.
Took Four Men to Land Corona in the Police Station.

Pasquale Corona, already made famous by his doings in Brooklyn. went on another rampage to-day and it took four men to bring him to the police station. When he landed at the coop he was all in and had to be carried from the wagon to the cell.
 Corona is all right until he gets drinking, and then he becomes as crazy as a loon. It was only cou- pie of months ago that he buciiled into Oficer Bowling and tried to put him out of business. He was kept at the Brookside a few days. and after he served his time he was aw abiding until to-day. All day long he has been looking for trouble In the Brooklyn district. and Officer Dunais, who is on duty there. kept his eye on him. Shortly after noon to-day Dunais, assisted by man named Siebert and Tommy Condon. firemen at the Brooklyn house. endeavored to pinch Corona. The latter put up a stubborn fight and got hold with his teeth on Dunais's leg. Before he was clubbed enough to release his hold he had taken about half a yard of cloth oR the officers trousers. He was finally put to sleep and placed in the pie wagon.

CHANDLER SAYS

HE STICKS TO HIS FORMER
 STATEMENT.

mediary Again.

Washington. May 16.-Senator Tillman to-day received from San ator Chandler a statement of his course as an intermediary in the ne gotiations between President Roose- welt and Senators Tillman and Bailey on the railroad rate bill. The state- ment bears on Senator Dodge's de nial for the president that he had said he had no confidence In Sen ators Foraker, Spooner and Knox. Chandler reafirms the truth of lis statement.
 The most interesting part of Chandler's statement Is where he says: "On the whole, perhaps ought to consider myself fortunate If the old imperialist days have been revived at the White House, one whom consider the best of friends, Senator Lodge, upon demand could have cut o6 my head and taken 1t to President Roosevelt on a charger, and I should have spoken no more. Now, have left to me the power of speech, but shall never use 1t again as a missionary from President Roosevelt to the democratic party.

Washington, May 16.-The calm of the senat's discussion or the rate bill was disturbed again this morn ing by a personal interruption by Senator Bailey, who rose to a ques- fion of personal privilege to make reply to a charge made in Chicago paper yesterday by WasniAgton correspondent to the effect that SeE- ator Bailey had been responsible TOT the failure of the compact between President Roosevelt and Senator Tillman. Former Senator Chandler was given as authority for the state ment that Tillman had been sus- picious of Bailey, who, it stated, was really opposed to rate legislation, and was often in conference with Senator Aldrich for the purpose of defeating the bill. Bailey said: II have taken no part in the question of veracity between the president and MT Chandler, and I have not given any public expression on the ques- lion and never conferred with the president or Chandler. was great iy surprised when my attention was called to 1t.

A Trip For the Big Sticks.

President Roosevelt is to visit Pan
ANA in state. The ship chosen to carry
the president is the new 10000 ton
battleship Louisiana, and she will have
two other big ships as consorts. Why
would it not be a good plan for Presi-
dent Roosevelt to take all the avail
able ships of the United States navy
and on the same trip visit Santo Do
mingo, Venezuela and any other Latin
republics where they need looking
after and make them pay up and look
pleasant or set upon them with the
whole bunch of big sticks and compel
them to do the decent" thing? He
could bump the heads of Guatemala
and Salvador together and force Hon
duras to a lasting peace or annex the
whole outfit. That would clean up
the whole mess at oncesk3ed the presi-
dent could fight it out With the senate
afterward at his leisure.

MACHINE POLITICS.
s. o. +. RefOrmers Get No Aid From.
Republican Clubs.

>AuD
The National League of Republicans
Clubs, whose ardent stand-patism
gives them a call upon the protected
monopolies for the sinews of a are
still doing business at the old stand.
They have elected General McAlpin
president, and the old war horse saws
he is proud Of "the aroused Republican
party Of 1906" Not for years, he
thinks, have the great principles
sounded by Lincoln" come home so
c~onvincingly to the party leaders.
Does General McAlpin mean by this
that he and his Republican club mem
bers Will vote the Lincoln Republican
ticket in Pennsylvania, which is op-
posing the party machine Of Penrose?
Are the clubs for Governor Cummius
OF Iowa, who is fighting the battle of
the people against the railroads and is
being denounced by the Republican
machine politicians and the admins
tration and especially the stand pat
faction of the Republican party? Do
General McAlpin and his clubs lend
their comfort and aid to the Colby re-
formers in New Jersey or to the Re
publican machine headed by Senator
Dryden, the life insurance magnate.
and his allies, the railroads and cor
porations? Will they help Winston
Churchill in New Hampshire or the
corrupt Republican ring backed by the
Boston and Maine railroad? Will they
help Clement in Vermont and the re-
form Republicans in other states, all
of whom are Independents trying to
arouse the Republicans to a n of
honesty and decency?
OF course they will not. General
McAlpin and his clubs will be found
backing the regular machine ticket
everywhere. In fact, the clubs are
part and parcel Of the Republican ma
chine and are furnished money by it
to whoop 'er up for those candidates
Of the G. o. P. who bear the stamp of
machine regularity. It's all nonsense
to talk of "the aroused Republican par
ty OF 1907 or the great principles
sounded by Lincoln when the whole

Ing to arouse their fellows to follow
"the principles of Lincoln"
In all the states the real reform Re-
publicans, who believe in principles
sounded by Lincoln, are either openly
allied with the Democrats or at least
are vigorously fighting the regular Re
publican ticket. General McAlpin and
those of his club members who are in
dependent enough to fight the Repub-
lican rings in the several states must
resign their membership in the Repub-
lican clubs before they will be free to
espouse the great principles sounded
by Lincoln"

The Modern Religious View.

To see the president and his bench
men in congress backing and filling
and ev~erlastingly compromising with
the demands Of the predatory trusts
and discriminating in favor Of crimi-
nal wealth against honest and frugal
poverty is enough to discourage any
true lover of his country. But let us
take heart. The press and the pulpit
are at last aroused. The preachers
have stopped talking so much about
"original sin" and Adams d%epravity
fellows who are guilty Of Lying like
Satan In high Places" "p%lundering
their nelghbors by false weights and
spurious coins" and "amassing faint
ed wealth."

Roosevelt Now u Protectionist.

New Zealand, through her prime
minister, has offered to reduce her
tariff on our goods to the same prefer
entail duties as she grants England.
But after an interview with President
Roosevelt the prime minister declares.
RECIPROCITY is not an easy thing to
bring about with this country" Evil
IDENTITY the president told his visitor
that to let in New Zealand wool at Il
lower duty would disturb the whole
protection fabric and that the stand

party, could not think of permitting

would come through meddling with

The Plundering Express Companies

AS the new law for regulating rail
road rates includes express companies,
which on a smaller scale are greater
%plunderers than the railroads. now is
the time to go after them. If you
have been overcharged or you can
show their charges to be unreaso
able, gather the evidence and make
formal complaint to the chairman Of
the interstate III commission
at Washington, and the commissioner
will proceed to investigate and regu-
late their charges. But before reforms
are instituted there will be a desper-
ate fight in the courts to prove the law
unconstitutional. and the whole fight

1t is almost as difficult to dislocate Il

be to remove a mountain.
Remember that this is a reform adj
ministration which boasts of its square
dealing on all occasions, but when it
m to squelching a trust that has
been plundering the people for years
there is a compromise by which the de-
feated trust is given half the profit. Is
that a square deal for the Midvale

ARMOR TRUST AHEAD.
How the Roosevelt Administration
Divided the Syvag.

NOW the Roosevelt administration
Divided the Swag.
The armor plate trust has won out
in it's fight with the rival Midvale COM
pany and has been awarded one-half
the m plate. contract. The Mid
vale company's bid was SAT a ton lower
than the bid of the Carnegie company
and $5S a ton lower than the Bethle-
hem company proposed to supply plate
for, but of course the trust, represented
by the two last named powerful inter-
ests, was too potent with a Republican
administration to be turned aside.
There is some satisfaction that the
trust had to accept the same price as
the Midvale company offered, which is
5000 a ton less than the trust charged
the government before there was COM
petition. Whether any dicker was
made with the trust to pay a bonus to
the Republican campaign fund for this
favor has not yet developed.
How the armor trust has plundered
the government by it's extortionate
charges is shown in the following table:
Previous to 1900 trust Carnegie and
Bethlehem ~companies) demanded
