No Socialist Party Tactics.

No Socialist Party Tactics.
Complete and authoritative reports Of
the Socialist national convention at
Chicago as published by the Chicago
Daily Socialist reveal the fact that the
Socialist party has made radical de-
parture In Its attitude toward several
important issues OF the day. Resolu-
lions were adopted. to the following eff
feet:
Against the excessive use Of alco-
holic liquors and recognizing the evils
arising from the sale Of them, but not
in favor of trying to cure these "by an
extension Of police powers under the
capitalistic SYSTEM" rather by stop
ping undertaking and overwork.

the biggest lines not a chr was moyeu
pending the arrival Of breakers from
the east The people fell back on bicy-
cles, automobiles and wagons of every
description to get to and from their
work. One car was derailed by q
dynamite bomb, and next day several
cars were dynamited. Some passen-
gers were injured, but none fatally,
and all traffic was again stopped.
The dynamiting of cars continued
nightly, and scenes Of disorder In
creased. The strikers rejected the Of
Ter OF the company to restore three
fourths of the men to their former DO
sitions pending arbitration of the wage
Increase. The labor council has boy
cotted the company.
Many passengers were injured in the
attacks on the cars, and one little girl
was killed by a car in the hands of
an inexperienced motorman. Hotels,
groceries and saloons refused to pro-
vide for the sheriffs and breakers.
Later the strikers agreed to submit to
vote an arbitration offer.
"A Thousand Idle Cars Restored.
One sign of the return of prosperity
Is the order of the Pennsylvania rail-
road to place back on the rails the thou
sand freight cars which were set aside
for want Of siding some time ago. This
Is in anticipation of the coming rush of
business during the summer months.
Mitchell Warns Operators.
Former President Mitchell of the
United Mine Workers, noting the re-
port that the anthracite operators had
decided to reduce wages of the miners
to make up for the payment of dam
ages under the liability law and for
the compliance with the safety appli-
ance law, declares that the miners will
not tolerate such an injustice" The
proposal to take over the retail bust
ness, he says, would mean the virtual
reduction in wages, as there would be
no fuctuation in retail prices to be
divided under the sliding scale.

formed that in the pending campaign
for the presidency of Panama the party
In power had denied registration to
many of the opposition party. Through

and the United States to have its
agents on hand to examine witnesses,
Panama agreeing to correct any abuses
that may be revealed.

Another week OF the general confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal church
began with the excursion of the dele
gates from Baltimore to Washington
to meet on the grounds of the Ameri-
can university and listen to plain
talk by President Roosevelt. He spoke
in high praise of the pioneer work Of
the Methodists and repeated his SER
mon on the need Of Individual charac-
ter rather than laws to save the repub-
lie.
The committee on the episcopacy d.
vided on the number of bishops to be
elected, a majority favoring ten and
minority wanting only seven. A COM
promise on eight was effected.
The committee on the state Of the
church voted three to one in favor Of
leaving the ban on amusements UNI
changed.
The committee on federation report
ed against organic union with the
Methodist Church South, but for nom
legislative council and to allow any
church to unite with one of the other
branch where. both touched the same
territory. A conference with the Unit.

citation was proposed. Word was also
to be sent to the negro branches of
Methodlsm that the mother church was
ready to consider union with them. 4

Each Will work along similar lines, but
independently preparatory to action at
the next session Of congress. Leader
Payne said 1t might turn out to be a
maximum and minimum tariff.
Government Liability Bill.
Without division the house passed
the Alexander bill granting to certain
government employees the right to re-
ceive compensation for injuries sus-
tained in their work. It covers cspe-
cially laborers in hazardous employ
ment such as the Panama canal con-
struction. Railway mail clerks are In
Guided. The total number covered is
$4,000 out Of the 337 900 in the classi-
fed service.
Submarine Charges Not Proved.
A report from the special committee
appointed to examine into the charges
Of corruption in connection with the
appropriations for submarine boats
which were preferred by Representa-
tive Lilley of Connecticut says that
his accusations are unfounded, accuses
him of bad faith and declares him
guilty of contempt Of the house. BY
the vote Of 157 to SO the house adopted
the report on motion of Leader Payne
and approved of the findings. No ac-
ton was taken looking toward the ex-
pulsion of Lilley, probably owing to
his absence on account of Illness.
For the Waterways Commission.
The bill passed by the house author
1zing the president to continue the in
land waterways commission and ap-
propriating $4,000 for its expenses un-
derwent significant alteration in the
senate. Instead of authorizing the
president to continue" the commission
1t says he may appoint" such a body,
thus not recognizing his right to do
what he had already done.
Omnibus Bills Rushed Through.
Under the spur Of the Democratic
fllibuster and the decision for an early
adjournment the house majority has
punched its hits, as the fans would
say. One measure containing fifteen
separate bills on territorial matters
was passed in short order May 10.
The omnibus Indian bill contained ten
separate bills, while public lands bill
contained twenty-four propositions.

CONGRESSIONAL
PubIieity RiII Anaers south.

PUBLICITY Bill Anglers South.
A solid front of opposition was pre-
sented by the Democrats in the house
when the Mccall bill. requiring pub.
licity as to campaign contributions,
was pressed to vote with the Crum-
packer amendment calling for informa-
tion about the suppression of the negro
vote in the south and federal supervi-
sion Of elections. The bill was passed,
leo to 1875.
Deadlock on the Currency.
AS was foreseen when the senate
substituted the Aldrich currency bill
Tor the Vreeland bill passed by the
house, the whole matter of currency
legislation ut this session became
doubtful. Conferees of the two houses
have met only to find that neither
side was disposed to surrender on es-
sentials. The chief difference appeared
to be whether the proposed emergency
currency should be issued by single
banks or by associations of banks
known as the clearing houses. The
conferees did agree, however, that
commission should be created to look
into the causes of the panic, and such
bill was later introduced by Senator
Aldrtch. 1t proposes commission of
eighteen, half from each branch Of con-
gress. The senatorial confcrees said
that no bill providing for an asset cur
rency could pass the senate.

LODALLER
The Beautiful

No quality helps more in selling a
roadster than elegant conformation and
style. If you get these qualities you
have to breed for them and horse to
transmitsthem surely must not only
possess them himself, but must inherit
them strongly through both sire and
dam. Lodaller's sire, Allerton, 2:O94,
is noted for string beauty when bred to
mares like the dams of Lodaller and
Locanda.
The dam of Lodaller, Lodina, 2:184,
was, in racing condition, one of the
i handsomest mares that ever scored for
the word. Like her son, she could race
and maintain her good looks. Her
series of spllt-heat races with Chain
Shot, 2:O63, over Wisconsin half mile
tracks, in her last campaign, proved
her a much greater trotter than her
record indicates. Her defeat of Chain
Shot at Beaver Dam, was pronounced
by Pres. Newton, Of the Wisconsin
State Fair, the best race he ever saw.
Lodaller started out, in emulation of
his dam, by winning seven blue ribbons
in three different states, defeating
many horses, and causing others to re-,
main in the barn, that had never before
been defeated. AS race horse he won
four times in his class and was second
in free-for-all. Then "a runaway
crashed into him in his fifth race and
ended his winning. But for this he
would have taken record as good as
2:l5 last fall. Some keen judges say
better.
you want to breed trotters handsome
and fast, Lodaller is your horse. His
foals are all fine looking, good gated
trotters, no PAGERS, not even from
pacing mares.
His class as race horse is indicated
by his defeating in contested races,
s over half mile tracks, such stations as
Sir Boreal, Allie Dale, Wisconsin Bill,
Henry O., and The Fox. The latter
horse twice.
Lodaller's fee is $4,000 to insure
mare with foal. Mares losing their
foals may be returned free of charge
: or the money will be refunded, at my
option. Mondays and Tuesdays at

OF the resolution in committee amend

that to make any change in the reso-
