Negative Influence OF Wall Street
Democrats.

While the New York World has
little in common with real democrats,
it is honest enough TO publicly adj
init the unpopularity of its Wall
Street associates. In the Parker
campaign the World was Wall
Street ssword and ehield, and knows
from experience all about Ryan
Belmont & Co. 1t would like to
have the democratic party become
as undemocratic as it is itself, but
to use its own language it sees no
prospect until means can be
found for gagging the Wall street
Democrats and tying them hand and
foot. They are incapable Of under
standing the political aversion and
contempt with which they are re-
'gardeds throughout the country.
"They cannot realize that no candi-
date nominated for President by
their efforts could survive the hand
leap. Nothing contributed more
ito the political destruction Of Judge
Parker than the active support OF
s,the Ryan Belmont element. Their
favor would undermine anybody.
Their negative influence is all but
Overwhelming. They have already
succeeded in blighting whatev Ell
presidential prospects Senator Dan.
"iel may. have had, and in making a
sane reorganization Of the Demo
cratic party that much more diff.
..cult. Who will be the next vic
''tim?
This is the Worlds deliberate
Judgment Of its own associates.
The World is great newspaper
but. atvery poor views paper. Ii
the present instance all democrat
can agree with its views, but as
rule it's editorial or views column
are as often wrong as right. A
that the World says abou. it's SO
called Wall street Democrats nigh
with equal truth be said in referenc
to itself.
The World blames its friends 70
praisipg Senator Daniels, and say
that their praise has des royed hi
I. political prospects.
II the World could be given til
power of correctly seeing itself,
would quickly understand that ther
is not democrat in all 'ofthis broa
land whose political prospects woul
not be blighted by its praise. Th
World did as much or more tina
Ryan and Belmont to bring abor
the unprecedented defeat of Jude
Parker.

DEATH OF FRANK sTEUNENBERa
Prisoner Tells How He Watched for
HIS Murderous Opportunity.

Prisoner Tells How He Watched for
HIS Murderous Opportunity.
In telling of the murder of ex-Gov.
ernor Stcunenbcrg Orchard said he
and Simpkins. had watched for the ex-
governor at Caldwell and at Boise:
they had fixed the bomb under the
sidewalk near Stennenberg's home one
night, but nothing happened and they
went out and got the bomb. Then
Simpkins said that he had seen sever
nj persons Mt Caldwell who knew him,
and that he Ind better get away and
leave Orchard to finish the job alone.
Simpkins~nt this time was member
of the w. Il. NJ executive board.
After Simpliins left Orchard tried
to get n, chance to plant the bomb
again; also tried to get an opportunity
to shoot Inn at night when he was
going home. He took with him on
these occasions sawed-off shotgun,
given him, he said, by Pettibone. But
all his. efforts failed until one night
lie saw Steunenberg sitting in the Sa.
ratoga hotel at Caldwell. Said Or.
chard: II went up to my room and
got the bomb and hurried out to the
Steunenberg house and planted the
bomb by the gate. then started back
to the hotel, and when about two
blocks away met StcaHenberg on his
way home.
II ran as fast as could toward the
hotel, but had not reached it when the
explosion took place. Went to my
rQom to do up some acid and giant
caps and things in package. As l
was doing so giant cap in my pocket
exploded and tore one side of my coat
out. j was afraid everybody in the
hotel had heard the explosion. l wait.
ed awhile. but there was no indication
that any one heard what had occurred
in my room. ! went downstairs and
remained at the hotel until Monday
when was arrested"
After his arrest lie received tele.
gram which he destroyed. The de.
Tense objected to his telling who the
dispatch. was from, saying that II
would be the best evidence itself. The
state said it would produce the tele.
gram, but that 1t was unsigned. Or
chard said lie had received a lette,
which to the best of his belief was
written by Pettibone. The defense OBJ
jected, but the objection was over
ruled, Orchard testified that Hay
wood had fold him that he had sent
Steve Adams and Ed Munster to Call
fornia to kill Fred Bradley and mine
superintendent whose name Orchard
did not remember. Then the state
turned the witness over to the de
Tense.

Hartman and the White House
Conference.

During the past week the Presi.
dent and his advisers have had the
case against Hartman under con-
sideration, and while no official
statement has been made public the
report that Hartman is immune
from criminal prosecution has been
generally circulated. Much Of the
administrations policy in reference
to the regulation OF predatory corp
orations is still in the air. Up to
this time it. is largely confined to
and attempts. If Mr.
Hartman is cunning enough to
thwart the desires of the President

sorting his Young child and wife in

on in the same quiet, off-hand manner
that Unmarked his demeanor Wednesday.
The state began its corroboration of

A plan for drawing trade to a town that has been successfully tried at several points might be adopted to ad- vantage in Newark The plan is as follows: An agreement was reached between all the merchants whereby they offered special sales on certain days, each merchant selecting some special line of goods upon which he made lower price than usual. Thus one dry goods house would sell gloves at special price, while another would offer bargains in dress goods. One hardware merchant would reduce the price on axes, and so on. every line of business being represented and care taken than no conflicts occurred
 Prizes were then offered to the farmer bringing in the best load of grain or the handsomest baby and the bargain day was extensively advertised in the surrounding country, the names of the merchants and their special sales be-
