Financial Situation Clear
ing Up.

New York, November 29.-As a
result of inquiries the Globe finds
the financial situation has cleared
up, many factories have resumed
operations, or are preparing to do
so, railroads are putting men back
to work, new corporations have
been organized, and great building
pre- jects have been begun. The
business men of the eastern half of
the United States are satisfied that
hard times are not to te feared,
and are preparing to return to
normal conditions. In Pennsyl-
vania the steel manufacturers are
reporting improvement, and in
Massachusetts, the center of the
wooden manufacturing business,
factories are being reopened.
Representatives of So knit goods
manufacturer decided this week
no more orders to factories should
be cancelled. Dry goods whole
salers here say that many orders
which were Cancelled have been re-
opened. Gross earnings of the
railroads entering Chicago are now
showing an actual increase, which
means that all men discharged will
soon be put back to work.

Taft Boom Declining.

With two "favorlte sons" in
the field it becomes a matter of
pure speculation as to the make
up of the Ohio delegation to the
Republican national convention.
Those amatures who sneered at
the possibility of any of the dele
gates getting away from Taft have
been forced to revise their figures
since the announcement of For
aker's candidacy, and they now
admit that the senator might con-
troll two or three districts. An
unbiased observer, however, after
a careful canvass of the state by
congressional districts, will place
in the Foraker column fully half
the states full quota. 1t is diff
cult to avoid this conclusion when
one remembers that the Foraker
following includes scores Of the
shrewdest politicians of both the
old Foraker and Hanna factions,
now united for the first time in a
common cause and fighting not
only for the political existence of
the two senators, but for their
own as we'll. If the senators fall
they must fall with them; the
same sheet enfolds them all. That
their strength is appreciated by
the local leaders throughout the
state is shown by the failure of
the Taft managers to win any more
as converts and further by the
sudden silence of the few hasty
ones heretofore won over. The
average politician is a cautious in
dividual and with him self-interest
is the chief desideratum, and when
he realizes, as he must, that Taft
cannot win and that to follow him
means certain death it is dollars
to doughnuts that he will look for
different road. 1t is therefore a
safe prediction at rhls time that if
Taft remains in the presidential
race, doubtful proposition at
best, the Ohio delegation will be
divided and the nomination will go
to some other state, with Senators 8
Foraker and Dick next to the
throne and Taft down and out.
Another safe prediction is that the
Taft strength will decline from
now on, not only in Ohio, but in
all other states. The top notch,
never very high, has been reached

The Difference.

Washington, Nov. 20 William
j. Bryan was tonight teudered a
banquet and reception by "The
United Democracy of the District
of Columbia"
Mr.. Bryan utilized the occasion
to set forth at length a closely
reasoned analogy between the
politics of President Roosevelt
and those he believes should be
adopted in the administration of
the Government.
F,ur of the Roosevelt policies,
he said, were Democratic, and
four were un-Democratic, while
there were four other Democratic
principles which the Preside mt did
not advocate.
Railroad regulation, the enforce
ment Of the laws against the trusts,
an income tax and arbitration as
the method of settling disputes
between labor and capital, were
all advocated by the President,
Mr.. Bryan SAID, but had been ad-
vocated by the Democratic party
long before the President took
them up.
To none of them, he maintained,
did the President have tae support
of Republican party leaders.
The four Democratic doctrines
the President will not endorse, the
speaker gave as tariff reform, the
election of senators by direct vote,
the promise of ultimate independ.
ence to the Filipino, and the re-
striction OF the use of the in
junction in labor disputes. The
four TN Democratic doctrine 8
which the President does advocate,
Mr.. Bryan named as being the
National incorporation of railroads
and other interstate commerce
corporations, the right of the
Federal Government to interfere
by treaty with State rights, ship
subsidies and asset currency.
Added to this, Mr.. Bryan said the
President has manifested a mill
tary spirit.
"Why do Republican leaders
favor centralization2" Mr.. Bryan
asked. "Because the great cor
porate interests want to get away
from State legislation. The Demo.
Gratis believe that the Government
should be kept as near the people
as possible, and want Federal
remedies added to, not substituted
for State remedies.
"WhY do the Republican leaders
prevent effective legislation against
the trusts2 Because they look at
the question from the standpoint
of the trust magnate, while the
Democrats lock at the question
from the standpoint of the millions
who are victimized. Why do the
Republicans favor high tariff laws,
which tax eighty millions of the
people for the benefit of a email
fraction of the population2 Be
cause they look at the subject
from the standpoint of the bene.
fciaries of protection, while the
Democrats consider the rights and
interests of the consumers.

Danger In Christmas Show
Window Displays.

The mixing of inhammables and
llames in the store window is a
temptation to the Christmas buyer
and to the fire god as well.
So great is the fire loss from the
holiday dressing of show windows
that an annual warning to
merchants is justified. There is
danger of loss of life, too, from
panic in crowd of present
purchasers.
Leaves, wheat and cornstalks,
even evergreens, soon become dry
enough to be inflammable in the
temperature Of an enclosed show
window. Straw and fancy papers
used for decorative purposes, nota-
bly, the Christmas bell, are easily
ignited. More dangerous than all, :,
except celIuloid ornaments, is
cotton batting, although it looks
as pure as the beautiful snow, it
is used to represent.
Cotton is often spread over a
considerable surface in making a
winter scene and if it be ignited a
flash covers it. Then it bnrns
with great heat for each fiber has
in it a tube full Of oxygen to
support combustion.
Electric bulbs are, to be sure,
the best of all lights for show
windows but one of them may be-
come hot enough to fire the pretty
papers, cotton fancy goods or any
one of the hundred pretty things
made from celluloid. A merchant
noticing the slightest char on any
material from n light bulb should
take fright. If a puff of air
strikes where bulb is charring
any fabric blaze is produced.
A paper pettlcoat on an incan-
decent lamp is particularly danger
Gus.
If the bulb of an electric light
show the slightest brown color it
should be displaced by new one
for two reasons, both good. An
old bulb gets much hotter than a
new one and 1t costs more for
current than it is worth,
Mechanical defects are so likel y
to make the lamp sockets hot that
goods should never be placed
against them. For the same reason
flexible lamp cords should not be
used in windows.
The dust,proof show window
usually is hothouse which pre-
pare articles Of all sorts for easy
ignition. 1t takes but little in
genuity to veutilate it without ad-
hitting dust.
Gas lights in a show window
must be protected by a globe,
chimney or screen to keep thin
materials from blowing into them,

ers refuse to enact efficient laws
for the regulation of the railroads2
Because they look at the subject
from the standpoint of the railway
magnates, while Democrats con-
slider the interests of the patrons
and the interests of the stockhoId-
9rs, both of whom have reason to
complain of the management of
some of our railway systems.
"Why is il that Republican
leaders oppose arbitrationP Be
cause they view the subject from
the standpoint Of few big corpo-
rate employers while the Demo
Gratis insist that the employees and
the business public have right
to be considered. The same diff.
ference in viewpoint accounts for
the difference in the position of
the parties on the subject of gov
ernment by injunction.
"Why is it that the Republican
leaders are willing to contlnne the
enormous expense of imperialism
when it has brought. nothing but
danger and humiliation2 Because
the Republican leaders are consid.
aring the interests Of few who
hope to secure Oriental trade while
the Democratic party considers
both the rights of the,. Filipinoe
| and the interests Of the democratic
masses who pay the taxes and
furnish the sons required for the
military support of colonial policy.
"And l may add, the difference
in the point of view will eXT lain
the difference in the remedies pro.
posed to relieve the present finan-
rial stringency. 1t came from
speculation in Wall street and the
Republican leaders have SO tied
the country to Wall street that
80, 900, 900 of people must shiver
when the Wall street spectators
get cold"
Before taking up the serious
presentation of his subject Mr.,
Bryan referred to some of the re
marks made by preceding speakers
and apropos of Mr.. Hagan's sug.
gestion that Tammany Tigers
would make better playthings for
children than Teddy Bears, he
said that party emblems, as well
as political toys, had their places
and he spoke word in defense OF
the Democratic donkey.
The donkey he said "is really
u better emblem than the elephant
for party. This was impressed
upon my mind when Visited other
countries. found that the donk
ey ia u resident of every country,
and that everywhere he is serving
the people, and that, too, the com.
mon people. He is not an artistic
crat.
"Tte elephant, on the contrary,
is only to be found in certain
!atltudes, and is seldom seen ex-
cept on dress parade. If greatness
is to be measured by service, in
stead of by size or appearance, the
position of honor must be gwen to
the faithful donkey"

Highway Robbery.
Jacksonville Buckcye.l

One of the boldest and most
desperate hold-up that ever oc.
cured in this county was perpe-
trated near Kimberly, Monday
evening by two highwaymen, who
attacked jim Pickett, farmer
living on Minker Run, as lie was
returning home from work, and
shot him, beat him over the head
with club and riHed his pockets
Of $500.
1t seems strange that any sane
person should carry this amount
of money around on their person,
but Pickett was afraid to trust his
money in the keeping of any one,
so he kept it constantly with him.
This fact became known to
many people throughout the neigh
borhood and resulted in the execu-
tion of plot to relieve him of the
money.
He was returning home from
work Monday evening accompanied
by his grandson, and when within
about a quarter Of mile of his
home two men appeared on the
road side. One grabbed the reins
of the team Mr.. Pic} EFT was driV-
ing and the other jumped onto the
wagon and demanded his money.
Pickett jumped from the wagon
and started to run, when one of
the highwaymen shot him in the
hip, jumped off the wagon and
grappled with him, while the sec
ond man rushed up and belted the
wounded man over the head with
a club.
They seemed to know just where
he kept the money, and ripped
open the pocket in which the
money was sewed and beat hasty
retreat toward the Robbins woods
south of this city.
The police in this city were i'm
mediately notified and we:.t to the
scene Of the robbery, and the sher-
if sent to Glouster for blood
hounds, which were taken to the
scene of the robbery and given the
scent, but seemingly could do no
good trailing the guilty parties.
They shifted about the ground,
circled around little wniIe and
quit.
Pickett thought he recognized
one of the men who assailed him,
but was not positive enough about
the matter to fix the crime def
nitely upon him.
He describes his assailants as
being Il man and boy, one was
rather tall and the other was con
siderably smaller, and both wore
caps, SO one Of the Pickett boys
say, while Mr.. Pickett rather in
clines to the belief that the man
wore a slouch hat, which was
pulled down over his eyes.
Pickett put up game fight even
after he was shot, and would have
bested his man in short time.
But his assailant called to his
partner to come to his assistance,
and he ran up and struck Pickett
over the head with club, rem
dering him unconscious.
The young boy that was with
Pickett engaged one of the rob.
bers, and was doing his best to
keep hlm from going to the aid of
the one that was engaged in
fight with old man Pickett.
AS Pickett began to regain his
composure he gave description
of the parties to the officers that
is thought will lead to the arrest
of the guilty parties. Two young
men residing in the neighborhood
have been conspicuous for their
absence since the robbery.
1t is thought they will be APP
pretended before many moons.

Honey and Tar have been sold
