learned and experienced lawyers as
one finds in any of the smaller cities
of the country; but it is rather a
matter of special credit and good
fortune that, included in such a
number of men, is one so especially
qualified and fitted for a position on
the bench.
There are other lawyers in the

more clever in trial tactics, but

ARSENAL WAS CROWDED
WITH NEGRO REFUGEES.

Springfield, Ill.-A genuine a
was caused at the headquarters in the
arsenal Sunday night after a squad
had been sent to dispense a crowd at
Allen and Spring streets. Five min.
utes later a report reached Lieut.. Col.
Eddy that shots had been fired in the
threatened district. He Immediately
sent a full platoon to the place to re-
inforce the squad. When the addi-
tional soldiers appeared the crowd
broke and ran. The soldiers pursued
them for several blocks and the dis
trict, which III near the scene Of Sat
urday nights lynching, was in an up
roar for a few minutes. The arsenal
was crowded Sunday night with ne
gro refugees from Springfield and sur
rounding towns. About 200 men,
women and children sought the shelter
Of the building and slept on the floor
or in chairs. Most Of these people
were old and infirm, but they endured
the hardships of their quarters rather
than face the prospects of passing
the night in their homes beset with
momentary fears of attack.
Col. Sanborn and Gen. Wells, com
manding two provisional brigades,
formed Sunday, increased the mobili.
ty of their forces-augmented by the
arrival Of the Second infantry from
Chicago-by using farm wagons. The
use of automobiles was discontinued
and but a few patrols were sent out
on street cars. Gen. Wells had ten
vehicles and Col. Sanborn as many
more.
Gust IS good as horses" said Gen.
Wells. when we get the alarm from
the city hall I just ordered my Shat.
ter cavalry into the wagon and they
were off in no time"

Republican Spendthrifts,

The large deficit of about $50, 900, 900
in the receipts of the United States
treasury is working on the nerves of
the Republican leaders. They have
called upon Secretary Cortelyou to
prove that Figures do lie" even when
fixed up officially by the United States
treasury, and he has, therefore, issued
a most interesting campaign document
for the benefit of the Republican party.
Mr.. Cortelyou attempts to show that
the deficit is only a matter of book
keeping and that after he has changed
the Anticipated methods he will be
able to show there is a surplus Of $685.
000,0 600. When Charles Foster Of Ohio
was secretary of the treasury in 1882
he tried the same game that Mr.. Cor
te1you is about to attempt by revising
the way of charging and reporting the
balance in the United States treas.
ury. 1t did not work very we'll and a
committee of congress investigated
"Calico Charley's" financial methods
and made him confess to them that
the amount Of the balance in the
treasury given out to the public was
fictitious.

Springfield, Ill.-Two deaths from
injuries received in previous mob
fights; the attempted cutting of the
fire-alarm wires; the exonerstion of
Private J.. B. Klein, Company A, First
Illinois infantry, by a court of in
quiry for the killing of Earl Nelson
at Kankakee Saturday, and the pur-
suit of a mob by guardsmen were the
chief developments Sunday in the
race war in Springfield.
The attempt to cut the telephone
and fire-alarm wires leading into the
city hall vas not successful.
A policeman saw three men on top
of an outbuilding. He turned in an
alarm to the headquarters of Gen.
Wells, commanding a provisional bri-
gade, and the latter dispatched a
wagon load of soldiers to the scene.
They arrived before the trio had done
any damage.
The would-be wire cutters fed,
leaving their nippers behind. They
escaped.

TAFT TUMBLEs OFF HORSE.
Animals Knees Fail While Carrying
Candidate Down Mountain.

Hot Springs, Va.-Judge William
Taft had a fall from his horse on
Tuesday afternoon and narrowly es-
capped serious injury, if not death. He
was riding down a mountain road
some four miles from the hotel at Hot
Springs when the horses knees rave
way and Taft was pitched 10 the
ground.
The horse was not going at a rapid
rate, and the candidate alighted upon
his hands and knees. Beyond a few
bruises, which are not visible, and q
vigorous shaking-up, Taft was none
the woTse for his fall.
Gen. Clarence Edwards, who was
here when the accident happened, is
now in Washington trying to get Taft
another horse. 1t is not likely he will
trust himself upon the same horse
again.

BLACK HAND VICTIM
RICH ITALIAN is TAKEN FROM
BICYCLE AND SHOT.
YOUNG GIRL SEES THE TRAGEDY
Cousin of Victim Is Held by Long
Island Police-Clew Found
in Letters.

New bookkeeping from ambush
at Lincoln road and Nostrand
avenue, Flatbush, early Thursday, a
band of Black Hand meh dragged Pie
tro Barilla, a rich hotel man of Wood
haven, l.. l., from his bicycle and shot
and stabbed him to death before the
eyes of a girl and a man, who saw
every move of the assassins.
The police have arrested Antonio
del Mario, cousin of the dead man,
who is known to have been with him
just before the murder.
Mildred Busch, Is years old, saw the
killing, as did also a mar who hap
pened to be passing the spot. Exam
ined by the police, they said they saw
the band of men leap from the bushe
as Barilla rode by IN his wheel.
His Body Is RiddIed.
When the alarm was given and tn
reserves from the Flatbush station +
sponded, they found Barilla in tn
road, literally shot and stabbed to
pieces.
That the killing was not for the pur-
pose of robbery was plain from the
fact that the dead mans clothing con-
tanned a gold watch and a large sum
of money. Several letters in Italian
were in his pockets, some of them
with the characteristic red ink of the
Black Hand.
The police believe the same band
who hacked to pieces a man shortly
after Christmas and dumped his body
near the scene of Barilla's assassina-
ton are responsible for this crime.

FIRST OF REFORMS
is TO DO AWAY WITH UBIQUITOUS
SPECIAL PRIVILEGES.
Political Corruption viii Cease When
Voters Unite to Uphold the
Sound Principles Of the DEM
ocratic Party.

The Republican politicians are evi
IDENTIFY quite anxious that tariff reform
shall not be a paramount issue in this
campaign. Unfortunately there are SO
many issues that both sides are press.
ing that the allied issue of the tariff
and the protected trusts is liable to
be overlooked in a great measure. The
issue of corruption of the voters by
the money of the ta~riff-protected trusts
and other corporations is and should
be a paramount question, because upon
the purity of the ballot and honest
elections rest the whole political fab
rio under our Democratic Republican
form of government. Fortunately the
political corruption is nearly all on
n side, and with the promise of pub
licity before election by the Demo-
Gratis, the Republican party is placed
on the defensive, and a very poor de-
Tense 1t can make. The Republican
managers are opposed to publicity and
many of them openly scott at it and
ven the best that Candidate Taft can
promise is publicity latter election"
If there were no tariff-protected
trusts and favored corporations there
would be but little corruption at ma
tional elections, for it is a fact that
but few large contributions to political
campaign funds are made unless the
contributor is promised some personal
advantage or important position.
Men will spend large sums to be
elected themselves to office, but are
not very free in contributing for the
election of others, and the patriots
that contribute from real patriotic mo-
tives are few and far between.
Corporations, however, are more
easily bled by the political collector,
as we have seen in the case Of the
large sums paid for Republican cam
paign funds by the life insurance
managers and what Hartman collect
ed in 1904 from the railroads and other
sources at the request of President
Roosevelt.
In the letter of Mr.. Hartman recit-
ing his services to the Republican
party he boosted that the large sum
he collected was used to corrupt the
voters of the state of New York and
did change $4,000 votes.
If there were no protected monop-
olists and corporation managers, who
are interested in perpetuating some
special privilege or the secretion of
their way Of p~lundering the people,
through connivance with officials,
there would be but little political cor
ruption. 1t would, therefore, seem
that the most important reform Is to
abolish all special privileges and espe-
cially the present tariff protection to
the trusts. 1t is safe to say that will
the tariff reformed to a venue basis
and thus the trusts left helpless to
charge more for their products than
the reasonable profit that competition
would allow, there would be very small
contributions from those who now en-
joy a virtual monopoly.
Is it not to the interest, therefore, of
the honest and Independent Repub-
lican voter who wants to see political
corruption abolished, to join with the
Democrats in such reform of the tar
iff, as well as control Of the corpora

there is no discrimination.
The matter of striking finally will

that all piece work will be forbidden
by the union after Sept. 1.

SURELY TIME TO REFORM.
Cut Down the Amount of Taxes Paid
the Tariff-Proteeted Trusts.

There would be but few trusts if
they were not protected by the tariff
and there would be no Dingley law if
the Republican politicians were not
receiving, directly and indirectly, part
Of the swag. The tariff, therefore, is
not for protection to the farmers and
workmen, but for the legal plundering
OF all classes. 1t is useless to demand
the enforcement of a criminal statute
against the trusts if the primary cause
of the organization of trusts-the tar
if law that fosters them-is allowed
to remain on the statute books.
The workingmen have been deluded
into voting the trust ticket, because
the trusts have been forced to in
crease wages to meet the increased
cost of living caused by trust high
prices. But now the inevitable panic
and %1uctuating prices have come and
wages are falling, are the laboring
men as well off as they would have
been with stable prices and steady
wages?
The high price of farm products
has not been caused by the tariff pro-
tecting the farmer, but by the foreign
demand for his surplus crops, or as
with the price of oats, by a failure of
the crop here. The great fall in the
price of wool, which is the only farm
pneduct that is really protected by the
tariff, shows that the farmers are
more at the mercy of the wool trust
than benefited by the tariff on wool.
1t is estimated by the most eminent
statisticians that the average family
pays a tax of nearly $100 a year on ac-
count of the tariff law, of which about
$40 is received by the government and
about $50 is received by the trusts
in increased profits.
If these two collectors stood at the
door of the stores and directly de-
manded this tax, there would be some
at the government tax COL
lector, but what would be done to the
collector? There would be a riot,
and If the government should send
to enforce the trust collections
there would probably be a revolt. But
the Republican politicians and the
trust managers have arranged the law
In a more diplomatic way, so that you
pay your tariff and trust tax in the in
creased price of what you buy and the
5torekeeper pays it to the wholesalers
and through them the government re-
ceives its tax on the imported goods
you buy and the trusts receive the
lions share in high prices for their
products. This indirect way of tax
ing you is quietly submitted to and
he Republican politicians and the
managers smile at your docility
and unsuspecting credulity.
1t would certainly seem that the
line has arrived for retrenchment and
The Republican tariff has be-
got extravaganza; to reform it as the
propose will cut down the
amount Of the tax you pay the gov
eminent, and If the cut is deep enough
viii entirely obliterate the trusts tax
If which they now plumber you.
The manufacturers will still live and
become more prosperous, but the trust
monopoly will die for lack of special
privilege.
