Fontanet, Ind, Oct. 16.-No one
connected with the Dupont Powder
Company has yet been found who
could ascribe any reason for the ex-
plosion which caused the death Of
probably thirty-f1ve persons and in
jury of some six hundred others.
A number of people were able, by
patching up their houses, to pass q
fairly comfortable night. The re-
mainder slept on cots placed in tents
brought here by order of Governor
Hanley. Soldiers Of the Indiana Nat
ional Guard, who were brought
here last night. stood guard through
out the night. They reported no dis
turbance Of any kind.
No additional deaths Of the injur-
ed have occurred at this time. Sys-
tematic efforts to search for victims
among the debris of the powder mills
began this morning. The total num-
Der Of deaths probably will never be
known and it will be several days
before the exact amount of the prop
erty loss can be figured out.

appropriated $4,000 for the erection at
Valley Forge of an equestrian statue
of Gen. Anthony Wayne. The, same
year an additional appropriation OF
$115,S15 was made for the purpose OIL
buying additional land, constructing
roads and fences and erecting proper
markers. The Daughters of the
American Revolution have already
erected a monument at Valley Forge,
50 feet high, which perpetuates the
martyrs who fell there. When the call

Democracy and the Referendum.

Mr.. Bryan emdeav0rs to make it APP
pear that in some way he is the father
of the referendum. for he asserts that
it was in the Democratic national
platform of 1900. A careful study of
this platform reveals the fact that the
word referendum" nowhere occurs
in it. 1t is true, as the Portland Press
points out, that following q declara-
ton in favor of the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people ii contained the following
words. land we favor direct lcgisla-
ton wherever practical" but it
certainly is a trifle far-fetched for Mr..
Bryan at this late day to attempt to
torture this language into an endorse
ment of the Initiative and referen-
dunn" and certainly it was not SO con-
strued at any time during that
campaign. And, furthermore, Mr..
Bryan obviously overlooks the fact
that no reference whatever to referen-
dun or to direct legislation" was in
corporated in the Democratic platform
of 1904
Mr.. organs delayed attempt to read
these matters into the national
Democratic declaration of faith is
interesting as an example of his
mental gymnastics when dealing with
political questions. but it will hardly
be effective in creating the impression
he is evidently straining for among the
intelligent voters of the country. AS
a matter of fact the populist party was
the first in this country to endorse the
referendum, and the attempt of Mr.
Bryan to appropriate this plank from
its old platform at this late day is. to
say the least, a triffle ungracious.

A Lame Disclaimer.

The Kennebec Journal and the Port
land Press insist that the New Age
and the Waterville Sentinel lied last
August in that they predicted that the
Kennebec county tax for 1907 would be
SIC. 900 when it has turned out to be
very much less. A prophecy which
turns out to be incorrect is not lie
Waterville Sentinel.
The matter in question was neither
a prediction" nor a prophecy" 1t
was what purported to be statement
of fact This is the language in
which it was kept standing for weeks
in the columns of the Waterville Senti-
mel and the New Age in the summer of
1906:
"This year the county tax is $4I 900
Next year. when the fees of the SturSlS
deputies and the debt have been paid,
the county tax will be nearer $4,000
We confess that we can discover no
prophecy about this The unqualified
statement was made that in 1907 the
Kennebec county tax would be nearer
$4,000 than it would be $47, 600. Demo-
cratic spelloinders upon the stump
went further and dispensed with the
word nearer" upon the theory, ap
parently that any word that qualified
a lie detracted from it's effectiveness.
The county tax for this year is SAL
043 which even the Sentinel must admit
to be considerably nearer SAT, 1000 than it
is $1,000. The plain fact is that
the assertions regarding this years
county tax were more than $31 900 shy
OF the truth.
This deception SO far as the cam
campaign of 1906 is concerned was
wholly the fault of the Democratic
leaders who We're responsible for it.
The voters of Kennebec county will be
at fault if they ever again permit them
selves to b. imposed upon by such a
shallow Su1terfuge, or to he miSled by
Democratic campaign statements.

The New Hampshire People and
Patriot" n Democratic organ of the
''rock-ribbed' variety declares that the
character Of Mr.. Bryan has "softened.
mellowed and broadened." Which, be-
ing interpreted, means that he has
of political experience. to abandon his
old Free Silver delusion. 1t is true
that he announces one or two new
theories: but a little examination of
them will show that they were stolen
from former platforms of the Populist
party. In fact all of Mr.. Bryan's
new theories are old fallacies of the
white-w hiskered variety.
