HEARST'S LITTLE MEN.
One Is Unknown, and the Other
CrOOns Sweet Words.


From the Charleston Post.
William Randolph Hearst's indie
pendence party's convention has put
out its ticket and presented a plat
form, and its following is saying
that it has launched a new national
party, Thomas Hisgen Of Massa-
chusetts is the candidate for presi-
dent, and John Temple Graves Of the
New York American IS the candidate
for vice-president. We do not know
anything about Mr.. Hfsgen, and we
don't know anybody who does know
anything of him. It was said in the
newspapers in advance Of the con-
ventiOn that Hearst wanted him
nominated for president, so there is
nothing surprising in his nomination.
John Temple Graves is a different
proposition. He is known wherever
sweet words are crOOned. He was
born in South Carolina; he was
raised in Georgia and he lives now in
New York, but he belongs to human
Hy. He is at once the comfort and
despair of the poet, the singer and
the painter. He has been called a
word weaver" and he has been
known to lull the hooking bird to
| rest and to make the lily blush with
envy In short, John Temple is the
goods Why he should be thought
of for vice-president we cannot
imagine, but he ought to be poet
! laureate to the American eagle by
unanimous vote, and the idea of max
ing him the tail to a Hearst ticket
is ridiculous. Mr.. Hisgen will have
to anchor himself, else some bright
summer day John Temple will soar
into the empyrean and carry off the
presidential candidate into a rarifed
atmosphere in which he cannot live

Declares Organization Is Only Help

The Hon. J. Conway Darlington
Of Greenyille S. c., has resigned his
position as a member of South Caro-

committee.
In his letter to Charles A. Walsh
of Chicago, announcing his resigna-

dependence party in putting out a
presidential ticket is calculated to
weaken the democrats and help Taft.
He says:

IN ALLIANCE WITH
CANADIAN LINES
Change in Control Of the Wis
ConSin Central.


New York, Dec. Arrangements
have been completed whereby the
majority stock of the Wisconsin Gen.
trail, held by T. l.. Chadbourne, George
A. Fernald, Newman Erb and w. A.
Bradford, will be purchased by syn
dictate. Representatives of the syn
dictate will replace the present board
of directors and officers and an alli-
ance will be entered into with the
Canadian Pacific and the Canadian
Northern. The stock will probably be
turned over by about Jan. t. The
prices paid for the stock are about
Al for the common and 70 for the
preferred. OF the first there is ST.
100000 outstanding and of the second
$12,500,000. This move is the result
of the change brought about in the
Northwestern railway situation by the
construction of the Pacific coast ex-
tension Of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul. This road has always
handled Canadian Pacific tonnage
into Chicago, but now that it will be-
come an active competitor of the Ca
madam road for transcontinental bust
ness the relationship is terminated.
Therefore Canadian Pacific and it's
affiliation, the 500 line, must look for
a new entrance into Chicago.

Subject of Revision Will Be Foremost
This Winter.
Washington, Dec. Although it is
not proposed to report the new tariff
bill, which will be framed by the
house ways and means committee, to
congress until the special session
which President-Elect Taft will call in
March it is evident that the question
of tariff revision will be the principal
one under discussion throughout the
winter.
One Republican member of the CON-
mittee declared recently that the CON-
mittee would ask congress for power
to subpoena witnesses at supple.
mentary hearings. Representative
Champ Clark of the minority went q
step further.
1T would be BETTER" he said, iii
we would be given power to subpoena
witnesses and have them sworn in
and made to answer questions when
they appear before the committee"
Chairman Payne has not denied
that it is proposed to ask the house
for authority to subpoena those whom
the committee believe could furnish
valuable information.

Observation-Disclosures PER ANNuM
THE FARMERS INSTITUTE.

The Farmers Institute which was
held in Bemidii yesterday was one
of the most successful gatherings of
farmers ever held in northern Min
nesota; and the direct result of the
large attendance of farmers and the
generous treatment which was &C
corded them by the business men
of Bemidji, through the committee
from the Commercial club, will be
far-reaching toward cementing the
friendship which should always
exist between the sturdy tillers of
the soil and the city chaps" if sue
cess is to be obtained in building up
any community.
The committee having charge of
the local arrangements R. Mac.
kenzie, w. G.. Schroeder, w. N.
Bowser, J. P. Pogue and Earl Cell
did splendid work, and to them is
largely due the success of the insti-
tute. These gentlemen were given
the hearty cooperation of the press
of the city; and the farmers were
assured that they would be given a
free dinner, so that they could come
early in the forenoon and stay all
day. The result was a large attend
ance(when compared with former
years. and the best of feeling was
apparent everywhere.
Great interest was manifested in
the proceedings at the institute.
The three speakers were given the
closest attention, and the cheerful
ness with which the gentlemen
answered all questions put to them
did much toward pleasing the farm
erS.
It is hoped that the good feeling
which has been engendered between
the farmers and business men will
continue, and that everything
possible will be done to foster this
feeling. A closer alliance between
the two interests will work to great
advantage to both.

House Explodes.
Minneapolis, Dec. "A low pres
sure steam plant boiler in the three
story brick apartment house at 101-
103 Aldrich avenue north exploded,
wrecking the lower story, hurting peo-
pie from their beds and shattering
windows within a radius of 300 feet

Although the tenants of the build
ing were badly scared and some of
them were bruised all miraculously
escaped serious injury. Mrs. May
Gustafson and child, who lived d.
rectly over the boiler, were hurled
straight up from their beds and fell
amid the ruins of floor, ceiling and
bits of boiler iron and, with the de-
bris, settled into the basement.
Neither, however, was injured beyond
minor bruises and scratches. Mrs.
Elizabeth Ping and her daughter, Fan
ME Simpson, who resided next to the
Gustafsons, were hurled from their
beds. Other tenants were badly jolt
ed and scared.

ring events Of an exciting and histor-
ical day that saw President Nord AL
cxis driven from his capital with an
Infatuated mob at his heels were fol-
lowed by a night of looting and pill
lage in Port au Prince. The passions
of the populace had been aroused and
after being defeated in their endeav-
ors to do bodily harm to Alexis they
turned their attention to well stocked
storehouses and the residences of the
supporters of their late president.
They were rapidly getting out of
hand when the authorities succeeded
in controlling the situation. The trou-
BILE began shortly after the president
had been escorted to the French
cruiser Duguay Trouin by M. Car
teron, the French minister.
People from the Belair and Salines
sections of the city invaded the busi-
ness quarter and lost no time in
turning to the work of pillage and
robbery. They divided into bands and
worked their way down one street and
up another breaking into the stores
that offered the best chances of loot.
The locks of doors that barred their
progress were broken with rife bull
let's. The proprietors stood by, help
less witnesses of the destruction Of
their property. Goods were hauled
out into the street and divided among
the mob. AS was to be expected the
crowd became enraged over the divi-
sion of the spoils and were soon fight
ing among themselves. In these en-
counters four men were killed.
While this was going on in the bust
ness district another mob was looting
the rich residential section of the city.
The residences of General Coicou,
General Gabriel, General Guillaume,
M. Lefentant, General Marcelin and
General Leconte were broken into and
plundered. This success seemed to
satisfy the crowd in the suburbs, for
they then dispersed without commit
ting any further depredations.
The British cruiser scylla and the
American gunboat Eagle came into
port at daybreak. Their arrival gives
Port all Prince the protection of five
foreign warships.
