charge OF Casasanta in the other
The complaint OF Amorosa was first
called. S. w. x. Allen representing the
complainant. The complaint alleged that
Casasanta, who was also known as
Jimmie Sundi, committed an assault with
intent TO kill. and in bringing out the
facts in support of this allegation the
story OF the killing Of Amorosa's daugh-
ter Annie, the wife of Casasanta, for
which the latter was indicted by a grand
jury at East Greenwich last May, was
brought out. 1t was alleged that Casas-
anita. even after the killing OF his wife
expressed regret that he had not been
able to "fnish' his father -in-law and an

fed that Casasanta declared the longer

Uncle Joe in Indiana.

The good people of Rushvile. Ind.
greeted Mr. Cannon with great cordially
yesterday. and doubtless made him very
happy. Well. why not? Mr. Cannon is a
neighbor, solid man and true, a personal
friend of the man who represents that
district in Congress- and on all of these &C
counts had claim on his hosts. They did
we'll to recognize il. and in recognizing 1t
to make the occasion memorable all around.
The result Is that Rushville ranks now
with the best towns to go to. while Mr.
Cannon will not forget his visit If he lives
a thousand years.
What If Mr.. Cannon was on territory set
apart for presidential purposes to Mr.. Fair
banks? Was he Doacher? Were his de-
signs unlawful? BY no means. He does
not expect Rushviile to rush to him and
leave Mr.. Fairbanks In the lurch. He un-
derstands the lay of the land, and what Is
due from one presidential asprant to an
other. Mr. Fairbanks visits Illinois and is
we'll received. and Mr.. Cannon feels at
home as he should. in Indiana Presiden-
tial aspirants should be like brothers, and
dwell together In unity.
Now and then the assertion is made that
Indiana has only mild interest in Mr.
Fairbanks BOOM and something of the
same kind is said as to Illinois and Mr.
Cannon. State pride and not enthusiasm
for the man explains all. We are told In
diana would be glad of the honor of the
presidency and as Mr.. Fairbanks is thought
TO be a likely man she Is for her son. Like
wise Illinois. AS Mr.. Cannon Is in the lime.
light Illinois is for him.
Enthusiasm In politics. as in other fields.
is an excellent thing. but 1t may be over
done. Sometimes ones followers lose
their heads and get too fierce in ones be-
half Enthusiasm tempered with diplo-
macy and good temper is the best thing.
In the matter Of the presidency the best
motto for the ambitious Is. Run. and let
run We have a big country, and a large
number of excellent men we'll qualified
for the highest station under our form Of
government. There are fayorite sons and
favorite sons. and one favorite son diff
fers from another favorite son in glory
But all. in way, are glorious.
Let there be comfy among the brethren.
Let them visit around. and return visits.
Let state lines in this matter OF truly
naional interest be obliterated, and let the
whole country hum with this industry.

the pancake cap. These features OF the
seamans garb tend to make him conspcu-
Gus and in some eyes ridiculous. The
marine is a much natter. trimmer figure,
and the sailors said to feel keenly the
difference between the two costumes.
The faring trousers are a relic of an
ancient time. There is some mystery in
the public mind about these broad-gauge
pantaloons. as to their reason. AS mat
ter of fact, the trousers are cut in this
manner to permit the sailormen to roll
them up high on the leg when they work
in wet weather or swab decks. But that
they are awkward in appearance is not to
be denied Whether the naval board will
conCede that the esthetic disadvantages,
operating to discourage enlistments. out
weigh the practical utility of the bell
mouthed trouser leg remains to be seen.
sailor without wide-Open shirt collar
would strike the average eye as anomalous,
but the tendency of modern taste is unde
niably in favor of change. The altera-
ton to closer conjunction OF the collar
and the chin would greatly lessen the pic
turesqueness of the sailors uniform. but it
would render the wearer less conspicuous.
Then enlisted men of the navy have suf-
fered rather severely in times past because
regard them as rowdes. and the sight of
the wide-open collar under pancake cap
and supported by pair Of flowing trousers
suffices sometimes to cause the discriminate
ing presiding geniuses of restaurants and
theaters to refuse accommodation to their
wearers. This outrage burns deeply within
the breast of the jack tars
Against the pancake cap is urged the diff
ficulty of keeping it In place when the wind
Is high. 1t is. however. the most attractive
feature of the whole outfit, and IL 1t is
banned its passing will occasion regret.
Yet If the faring pantaloons and the
F-shaped front have to go perhaps the fiat
cap must also walk the plank. 1t Is part
and parcel of the costume.
There will be genuine regret if the ira
ditional sailors costume is relegated to the
pages of history and fiction. Our ships
have become great engines. The full
rugged vessel has practically disappeared
from the waters. This is the age Of "tin
kettles and steam.' and perhaps 1t Is hope
less to try to cling to the cherished relics
of the day when the merry tars raced
through the rigging and hitched their trou-
sers and danced hornpipes and did other
things that We're picturesque.

The Wall Street Spasm.

Yesterdays spasm OF low prices in Wall
street is generally regarded as a sign of
the uneasiness with which the financial
leaders view the recent proceedings In the
state and federal courts affecting the large
corporations. The combination of the North
Carolina clash. the Alabama cancellation Of
charter, and the big Standard Oil fine has
proved too much for the overwrought
nerves of the money kings. They have
been on edge for long time. and. what be-
tween the heat and the signs OF an acute
attack OF anti-corporationitis on the part
OF the public they are in sad state of
collapse.
At the same time. it must not be forgot
ten that there are always elements at work
in Wall street to take advantage. sometimes
undue advantage. of every unsettling con-
d!tion to exaggerate it and TO utilize It as
cause Of panic These elements form the
bear party. whose chief business in life is
to break the stock prices and to make new
low levels They are the true gamblers OF
tie street. who are engaged in selling that
winch they do not own. and to secure
which at a profitable figure they must
necessarily force the market down

Democrats Bearing Praise.

Former Senator Dubois who Is travelling
the Chautauauan circuit lecturing on Nor
monism. said in an interview In Indiana the
other day:
LAS far as the nominations are concerned
Bryan is the logical candidate for the demo-
cratic party and he will. in my opinion. I'M
Guestionably be nominated The west is SOL
idly in his favor, and will support him to
the last ditch.
"As far as the republican prospects are
concerned, ] would say that it lies between
Taft and Fairbanks. The Indiana man is the
direct opposite of the Rooseveltan policies.
and Is the ideal candidate for the conserva-
tive element of the party now in power
However. Bryan would defeat him, as he
would any other candidate put UP by the
republican party except Taft. The present
OF the ideas of Roosevelt, and believe that
he would be elected to the presidency even
over Bryan.
Beware Of the Greeks bearing gifts"
Republicans should examine with care DEM
ocratic appra!sements OF their leaders and
suggestions as to 1908. They may be
loaded Their one object may be the Gull
tivaton Of an altogether erroneous idea in
republican circles as to the actual feeling In
opposition circles.
Undoubtedly Judge Taft Is a strong man,
and has made an unusually favorable I'M
preston on the country. His success in ex-
ecut:ve Office, when we consider that he
came straight from the bench, has been ex-
traordinary. He has done many things and
the most of them we'll. He wears well. He
takes his triumph without elaton and his
defeats without depression. Personally he IS
one Of the most popular men now In public
life. His friends are numerous on both sides
Of the political fence.
And yet it is a fact that if he were nom
mated for the presidency the
democratic managers would have the lead
ing points of their campaign against him
outlined before shutdown. They have
searched his official record both on the
bench and in political life for points against
him in possible popular campaign, and
they think they have something OF value
they can use. They would attack him be-
fore organized labor on account OF one or
two decisions he rendered as judge; they
would indirectly use his record in the
Brownsville case against him with the
colored voters in states where the coiored
vote is counted: and they would rely upon
his tariff deliverances to make some Of the
standpatters Indifferent Mr.. Dubois l.im-
self would take the stump against Judge
Taft with all fire and hope. and In some
fashion recall the interview he has just
given.
1t puts the republican case upon q much
too narrow basis to assume and assert that
all but one OF their leaders are at Mr. Bry-
ans mercy. Carefully sounded sentiment
does not bear that out. Mr.. Bryan as
candidate again will bring into the field
good many weaknesses of his own and all
will enter into the equation against him,
no matter by whom he is opposed.
