Report of Express Robbery Near
Pittsburg Not Made Public.

Pittsburg, Pa, May 3. More
gold coin and more gold leaf, part
of the plunder stolep from the
Adams Express car on Thursday
night, was picked up to- day by
boys in the vicinity of Walkers
Mills, on the Panhandle railroad,
where the robbery occurred. This
afternoon hundreds of boys, and
some men as we'll, searched all
over the neighborhood looking for
gold and money which might have
been "cached" by the robbers.
Scores of Pinkertons are scat
tered all over the neighborhood.
That they are completely at sea
was admitted this afternoon at the
office of the Pinkerton agency.
They have a number of clews
which they are working on, they
say. The officials of the Adams
Express Company to-day practi~
cally admitted that the sum of
money stolen was large, but they
refuse to give the amount. 1t is
reported, however, that instead of
being $50, 900, as has beenrumored,
the sum may reach 100000. Noah
Roshon, the express messenger, in
whose car the robbery happened,
left to-day for Columbus. He will
resume his duties with the com
pany.

ANCIENT HIGHWAY.
England's Great North Road Is Two
Thousands Years Old


Before we reached Hatfield, a few
miles out of London, we had already
been impressed with the magniticence
of this Great North Road, which is
said to have been built by Mr. Caesar,
whose headquarty were in Rome at
the time. 1t is TN direct route from
London to Edinburgh, and has been
travelled for so many centuries that
the earliest histories of England con-
tain accounts of the movements of
troops upon it. 1t is great thorough
fare for vehicles of all sorts, motorists
and cyclists, and in these modern
days there are well-known footpaths
along either side for pedestrians. We
passed scores Of motors, and l was told
while in England that the popularity
of motoring had noticeably diminished
the number of tirst-class travellers by
|rail. We found the road for it's entire
length of 400 miles in perfect condi-
tion. In many portions the macadam
is said to be nine feet thick. Long
sections of the road are oiled, ,andon no
part of it was there any appreciable
dust. There are few sharp curves, land
the grades are so slight that it had be-
come great thoroughfare for speeders
with the result that there are many
police traps for which one has to
watch. We found that we could stop
in almost any little village, and get
information as to just where the traps
were located-as, for instance, they
told us at Biglewade, which is bet
ter looking place than its name, to
look out for traps just the other side
of Buckden and again in approaching
Weston. Frank Presbrey, in Outing

ing from March % and ending last
night, returns from the Democra-
tic primaries of this State to-day

national convention show that the
ticket headed by United States
Senator Joseph Weldon Bailey has
received majority.
Two years ago inthe primary cleo
tions held by the Democrats, less
than score of the estimated 292,-
COO votes cast were against the
Senator. Some time afterwards
the fight began, and, rising gradu-
ally until it permeated the outer
limits of the State, increased
month by month until the session
of the last legislature.
At this session Senator Bailey
was reelected to his seat in the
Senate, and within a few days more
faced an investigating committee
which probed charges of connec-
ton with the Waters Pierce Oil
Company, the Standard and other
combinations. The lower house
committee exonerated the Senator.
The upper house committee was
discharged from its duties before
decision was reached, and Sena-
tor Bailey's enemies claimed open
ly that the vote was forced in the
Senate of the Texas legislature be-
cause a majority has expressed
themselves against him.

COL. WATTERsoN
Picks Platform Which He Thinks
Should Be Drafted.

Should Be Drafted.
Louisville, KY, May 2.-Declar
ing that Secretary of War William
Fl. Taft is to be the Republican
can nominee for President, and w
j. Bryan the Democratic standard
bearer, Henry Watterson in his
paper to-day outlines what he be-
lleves should be some of the planks
in the Democratic platform.

tuition, equality Of law for the or

whether political or capitallstic:
publicity, the sure safeguard
against conspiracy; no sumptuary
laws; the complete separation OF
church and State; and tariff for
revenue only" are the chief issues
which the editor says Democrats
should urge.
ABOUT THE NEWSPAPERS.
He says, in effect, if he can sup
port Bryan no Democrat should
be able to find an excuse for fail
ing to do SO, and tells of his former
opposition to the Nebraskan. He
says the newspaper forces which
are trying to defeat Bryan are com.
mitted to Taft anyway.
Watterson's message in full to
the National Democracy is as fol
lows:
"WeIl-advised observers know
already that the lines of the ap-
preaching campaign are laid and
the leaders as good as named. The
nominating conventions will meet
only to record the ascertained will
of the constituencies. Mr.. Taft is
as sure of the Republican nomi-
nation as Mr.. Bryan of the Dem
ocratic nomination. Those who
quibble in either camp are either
politicians playing for their own
advantage, or else enemies in dis
guise.
IF we cannot elect Bryan, we
can elect nobody. The time for
alternatives went long ago. There
is but one course open for sensible
men and good Democrats to pur-
sue, and that is to quit hair-split-
ting, to close ranks and rally round
the donkey and the flag, on which
still appears the Democratic le-
gend, Equality for all men; exclu
sive privileges for none
eff we can get to Bryan, surely
the most disatfected ought to be
able to reach him without much
trouble in case they be Democrats
and not Republicans. We fought
a good fight against him, and we
fought it to a finish. We fought
it sincerely, openly, frankly, un-
'paringly. Not until money, mys-
1erious and unexpected, took the
ield-after we had plead in vain
Tor some intelligent, disinterested,
popular response-did the news

determine for an era the destina-
tion of odf party politics-which

between federalism and statehood,
between home rule and centraliza-
tion.-it behooves the Democrats
of the United States-in case there
are any, and we believe there are
yet plenty-to grid their loins,
to study the horn-books of their
history and their faith; if they can,
to read the very stars
"These are automatic tenets of
Democratic gospel, sufficient, if
put into practical effect, to scotch,
if not to kill, the plutocracy;
enough, if boldly proclaimed by a

THEIR LATEST HOWL.

ONG years Of defeat and absence from the
a official crib seem to be gnawng heavily
at the Democratic heart. The Democratic plan
of attack in this campaign seems to be personal
abuse, not only of Republican candidates who are
on the ticket, but of all those who have in any
way to do with the direction of the Republican
campaign. Judging by their local mouthpiece,
they chasing like pack of hungry wolves.
For some time their attacks were confined to SEN
ator DUPONT Then they assailed the Republican
State chairman and made him the object Of an
unusual amount OF mud singing.
They appear to be going down the line. Now
it is Chairman Billany, OF the Republican city
committee who comes in as the target of their
assaults They complain that Mr.. Billany is ac-
tive in the Republican party and wants TO see
that party win. They indulge in petty filings, sim
ply because Mr.. Billany has held various offices
under the Republican party. Why should not
Mr. Billany hold these offices, if he can be elected
to them and why should he not be active in party
work. Has he not we'll performed the duties of
every office that he has held? Even the wild,
mud-slinger, in his raSng of the Goals, cannot find
in Mr. Billanys official conduct anything to criti-
else
The real motive of this attack upon Mr.. Billany
is because his Democratic opponents know that
he has been and is the head of a strong party or
ganzation whose careful work and labor has
routed the Democrats in many a hard-fought bat
tie in this State. Mr. Billany has been one of
tnOSo WHO mas SlOOu III lle way OF lilc
enjoying the fruit of political victory. Suppose
the office of recorder of deeds is well paid
Would any of Mr. Billanys Democratic assail-
ants refuse the office he now holds and the pay
that goes with it, if they had a chance to get it?
If this and other Court House offices were filled
with Democrats, would there be these howls
from Upas tree grove about the high pay of the
officials9 Didn't the Democrats long enjoy the
Court House offices and line their pockets for
years without anyone knowing what the real
emoluments Of the offices wereS Was there then
this frantic cry of economy? Under the old sys-
tenn the office of recorder of deeds was worth
about $4,000 annually No one ever heard in
those days of these profound protests or Demo
cratic concern in good government. For years
and years the Democrats held these positions
mostly by appointment and the party made alb
solutely no effort at reform The truth is that the
offices pay considerably less than they did under
the Democratic administration The Republicans
brought about reforms in the pay of the Court
House offices and these reforms like many
others, were in the interest of the taxpayers.
The Democrats are raising cloud of dust in
their efforts to befog the taxpayers of this county
who remember the old Democratic days OF mis-
management and extravaganza.
