Pennsylvania has trial in progress that
resembles in many respects that of the
"Molly Maguires" of years ago. More
than score of foreigners charged with
being members of the "Blackhand" and
responsible for large number of crimes
in the coal regions are on trial at Wilkes
Barre. Thirteen cases of shooting with
attempt to kill, thirteen of conspiracy,
six of dynamiting and two of robbery by
threats and menaces are charged against
the men who are alleged 10 be the leaders
of the "B1ackhand." Hundreds OF for
eign families in the coal regions have for
several years lived in state bordering on
terror as a result of threats made by this
mysterious organization, which in many
cases have been followed up with murder.

The President admits that the trusts
contributed to his campaign fund and
specifically mentions the sugar trust, the
oil trust and other trusts as contributors,
although the money of the tobacco trust
was refused. He states, however, that
the trusts which paid the expenses OF his
campaign secured no immunity from the
law by so doing. And yet, is there
single one of these trust owners in jail !
The few who were even fined were let off
with such ia small one that they could
well afford to pay it, and continue rob-
bling the people as before. 1t is the little
fellows only, with no political pull, who
stand in fear of violating the law. Had
the law been enforced the total wealth OF
the Standard Oil company would have
been required to pay the penalty for its
attractions. The same is also true OF the
sugar trust and steel trust.

President. A nulnNer of organizations
have called upon the President to know if
he will acknowledge or deny having made
the statements, but you car hear pin
drop in the silence that has followed the
demands. The prominent Republicans
who are allied against the President and
who are more eager than the Democrats
TO see him in an embarrassing position
are predicting that the incident is going
to cause him great annoyance in the
future. They do not come out in inter-
views on the subject but they hint that
the President is going to have trouble
satisfying the labor unions and that all of
the trades organizations are going to take
up the matter. In Ohio, it is said, the
effect is already being felt for the record
of Secretary Taft, showing that decade
or more ago he rendered official decisions
against the labor unions are being un-
earthed. The Presidents friends are
showing but little concern though and
the President himself is apparently losing
no sleep over it.

National Democratic committeema

National Democratic Committeeman
lanes c. Dahlman, of Nebraska, has
announced William Jennings Bryan's
proposed national platform, in which he
will demand destruction of trusts, not
regulation, and will ask the convention
to condemn Roosevelt's acceptance of
campaign contributions and his usurpa-
ton of power; for reduction in many
tariff schedules; for colonial reforms,
rather than dis-establishment or anti.
Imperialism; for State regulation of rail-
roads; for halt in naval expenditures,
appropriating for irrigation and river i'm
provements instead; for popular election
of Senators, civil service reform and
strong foreign policy. Populists are
ignored, but all classes are invited to join
democrats.
Bryan's platform will make no demand
for Government ownership of railroads.
The campaign contribution plank will be
one upon which will be placed hope tc
carry the country in opposition to Roose.
Welt or any one of his associates. The
Bryan platform will define the proper
use of money contributed for running
campaigns. Usurpation of power by the
President will also be made strong point
of the platform, and the convention will
be asked TO declare that President Roose
welt in this respect, as well as in the mat
ter of accepting or approving campaign
contributions, has overstepped true dem
ocratic principles.

The view of the democratic situation a

The view of the democratic situation as
seen by Col. Henry Watterson, the vet
eran editor of the Louisville Courier
Journal, is anything but bright for fol-
lowers of the faith. He thinks the party
might have glorious chance of winning
in the next presidential contest if there
happened to be cholera in the Philip
pines, yellow fever in Cuba, and if wheat
dropped to 40 cents bushel and corn to
10. Then, again, there might be some
thing doing for the democrats if the split
in the republican party was big enough.
Whether the democratic party will be
able to accomplish anything depends. in
the Colonel's opinion, on whether the
fragments that are lying around loose
can be collected and united. At present
it seems to him that there are in the
North at least two factions of the democ-
racy which detest each other more thar
they detest the republicans. In the
South the democrats wear the label only,
and are held together by the race ques-
ton. Besides, the party lacks executive
leaders.

On the Bias.

"What do people mean when they
talk about tacking?' asked Bobby, who
had listened to detailed account of
his sisters first experience in a sail
boat, but in much confusion of mind.
''Oh, you'll know when you're a little
bit older" said his sister, but the
small round face wore an expression
Of injury, and she had to explain fur
Their.
"Why, it's just turning halfway
round" she said, with slight hesita-
ton, "and then-and then you sail on
the bias"

Old Age and Work.

Old people make a great mistake
when they give up work. Many men
who have made competency in bust
ness and feel entitled to retire from
active work find themselves declining
in health and becoming prematurely
old for want Of occupation. In most
aged persons the vital functions con-
tinue in active exercise under normal
conditions, but if the regularity and
moderation of business life are depart
ed from trouble will surely follow
London Lancet.

There are still a few States which
haven't, by legislation, compelled the
reduction of passenger and freight rates,
but the arrogance of the railroads will no
doubt result in these laggards falling into
line and making the thing unanimous
In the contest between the people and
the railroads the people are gradually
compelling the enforcement of their de-
mands, which have long been ignored.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

If Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou
succeeds in a reform he has under con-
temptation there will be no doubt that he
will have the friendship of all the men
and women who return from abroad. 1t
is announced that he will endeavor 10
modify the inspection of baggage rules
which have been such a sore trial to
voyagers of late years. He is convinced
that incoming steamship passengers
should not be compelled to make a
declaration" of the dutiable goods in
their baggage and then be forced to have
that baggage hauled out, pulled over and
inspected" at the desk. 1t is believed
that the announcement of disapproval by
Mr.. Cortelyou will be followed by rem
edial action. Any one who has ever
gone through the experience of landing
in New York after European trip will
be heart and soul for such reform. The
principal topic throughout the homeward
journey is the dreadful inspection. AS
the vessel approaches New York there is
anxiety and apprehension in the air.
Ninety-nine per cent of the passengers
have more than their allowed one hum
bred dollars worth of wearing apparel,
and even the hardened ones dread the
lie that they must tell to the customs
officers who come on board and take
down in writing your declaration that
you are bringing home nothing dutiable.
You are not obliged 10 tell the lie of
course, but to declare goods means that
you will have to produce them at the
dock, have them inspected, estimated
and probably taxed at twice their value,
and that you will be subjected to inter-
minable delays in getting away from the
pier. The most conscientious people too
are stimulated to falsehood and a desire
to deceive in the picayune business of
asking you for declaration and then
examining your baggage to catch you in
the lie. The practice is contemplate
and humiliating one. Either a mans
word should be taken or his trunks
should be examined without declaration
on his part, and it is in this particular
that Mr.. Cortelyou will probably begin
his reform. 1t is said that it was not
originally contemplated that both an
affidavit and an inspection should be
employed, and the Secretary will prob
ably see that the affidavit is omitted. The
big steamship companies are of course
heartily in favor of reforms in this line
since anything that adds to the comfort,
physical or mental of their passengers is
just so much to their profit.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1907-04-26

Secretary Cortelyou has been in New
York this week inspecting the Sub
Treasury for the first time since his ap.
pointment to the head of the Treasury
Department. He will soon begin tour
of the large commercial cities of the
country so as to become familiar with the
conditions affecting the Treasury Depart
ment. There has probably never been
man at the head of the Treasury who has
had comparatively so little experience in
finances. Until Mr.. Cortelyou took
charge of the Republican National Com
mittee he had probably never handled
bigger financial problem than that OF
making household ends meet on a small
salary. Since his appointment to the
Treasury he has had to deal with several
of the most perplexing situations that
can be encountered in that department
and though it had been his ambition to
divorce" the Treasury from Wall Street,
he has twice come to the rescue of ma
nipulators on the "Street." Those who
know Mr.. Cortelyou we'll, however, have
unlimited confidence in him, notably
his friend, Mr.. Roosevelt. Mr.. Cortelyou
has "made good" in every position, from
the small clerkship he held in Govern.
ment Department, through his experience
as private Secretary to three presidents
and up through several Cabinet Offices to
his present eminence. He has never
been the man one slapped on the back or
called by nick name but this manner
has not been exaggerated by promotion.
He is still quiet and unassuming. He
lives in a; most transformations way in an
official society that is almost money mad,
but in which he takes only the small part
demanded of him by reason of his posi-.
ton. That is to say he gives dinner to
the President once year aud appears at
the White House for the Cabinet dinner
and state functions.

! Developments at Tarpon Beach
will become active within the next
few weeks, and, as soon as they
are under way, will progress very
rapidly. A HERALD reporter on
Saturday had an interview with
George R. Sims, treasurer and
general manager of the Padre Is
land Development company, and
learned that contracts have been
made for a large quantity of build
ing material for the improvements
at Tarpon Beach, and also learned
of several important and interest
ing features not heretofore report
ed in connection with this enter
prise.
The contracts for building mat
erial referred to are for 90, 900 feet
of lumber, which have been placed
with the Frontier Lumber Compa-
ny of Brownsville. The lumber
will be brought by. schooner from
Louisiana and delivered, at Tarpon
Beach about January IS.
This lumber will be sufficient to
bNild a 5oO-foot wharf, or pier,
which will be located a short dis
lance north of the lighthouse on
the lower end of the island; a boat
house 80 feet long, which will be
built off this wharf; board walk
27O0 feet long. running across the
island; and a bath-house, to be
built on the Gulf side, which will
be sixty feet long and have rooms
to accommodate thirty persons,
with a veranda shaded with an
awning for the accommodation of
lookers-on who do not care to go
into the surf.
Work on these improvements
will begin just as soon as the ma
terial arrives, which will be, as sta
ted, about the middle of January,
and will be completed within sixty
days from that date.
The company already has in COM
mission one gasoline launch, the
Tarpon. which will carry twelve to
fifteen passengers, and also two
1tarpon row boats. In addition to
these, two more launches will be
either built or purchased and put
ints service, which will furnish alb
Solutely reliable and rapid trans
portation from the mainland to the
island, and two mere row boats de-
signed especially for tarpon fishing
will also be built. These will be
in readiness by the opening of the
tarpon season, which win be in
April. A complete outfit of tarpon
tackle, reels. etc, for the use of
sportsmen will also be provided by
the said date

are completed, the company ex-
poets to construct number of sum-
mer cottages, and later will build
two more piers, and the same num-
Der of additional boat houses, bath
houses, and board walks. About
fifty persons who have bought lots
at Tarpon Beach have also agreed
to build cottages by the spring, and
a large club house will also be
built by the company, all of which
will require an immense amount of
building material. To supply this,
a lumber yard will be opened on
the island and from now on the
company will endeaVor to keep a
schooner regularly employed bring
ing lumber from Louisiana, whieh,
by reason of the low water rate,
will come much cheaper than if
shipped by rail, The same schoon-
er will bring material for boat
building, as a boat yard for the
construction of launches, roWboats,
ETC., will be maintained near the
southern point of the island. Gas
and other supplies will be brought
also by schooner.
A large force of carpenters will
be kept busy on the island all win.
ter and spring building the i'm
provements mentioned.
The club house spoken of will be
built about one and a half miles
north of the pass, which place is
only one and a half miles from the
mainland at Point Isabel, this be-
ing the nearest that the island
comes to the mainland. This will
be finished by summer and ready to
accommodate summer visitors to
the seaside.

HORTICULTURAL GARDENS

One of the new features referred
to which is of special interest and
which will form a prominent part
of the Tarpen Beach enterprise is a
horticultural garden. Arrange
ments have been made with the
Agricultural Department to estab-
lish garden at Tarpon Beach, for
which the company has set aside
twelve blocks of 50ox250 feet each.
This will be under charge of Z. C.
Green, horticulturist in charge of
the South Texas Gardens at
Brownsville.
Work on this important feature
was begun today, a force of hands
having been put to work cIearings
blowing, narrowing and fencing
the tract, which was selected by
Mr.. Green for the site. As soon
as the ground is ready, Mr.. Green
will put out a quartity of pineap-
