PROVIDENCE, r. l., Nov. "a plu-
rality for Taft of about 5000, a consld-
cradle reduction from normal, appears
probable in today's election. One dem
ocrat and one republican congressman
will be elected and the republicans will
likely elect the governor, although the
state ticket may be divided.

EVERETT, Nov. 3.-After being out
two hours last night, the jury in the

That the Tariff Commission propos-
ed b. President Roosevelt is to be push
cd as campaign trick Is so entirely
plain that no one need he so benighted
or thiCk-headed as not to understand
the game. 1t will serve as preten-
tious promise to satisfy the demand
for tariff revision without involving any
embarrassing obligations in the way of
future fulfillment
The promise of revision of the tariff
by friends of the tariff is always arrant
humbug. The Republican party will
never give the country revision that
Will afford genuine reform. The so
called friends OF the tariff are sim
ply the hired henchmen Of the tariff
barons, and their political existence de-
ponds upon their loyal defense Of that
system of iegalized piundering that is
the real purpose of our national policy
Of protecting trusts and monopolies by
duties high enough to prevent any real
competition by the foreign manufac-
turer.
A present example of the characters
tic hypocrisy Of Republican promises of
tariff reform was offered In two dis
patches printed yesterday. One, a
telegram from Washington, brought the
recommendation in the message of
President Roosevelt that the duties on
wood pulp and manufactured paper
should he reduced by a proper enact
meht before the adjournment of this
session o. Congress- Another, tele-
gam rom New York, announced that
the ways and Means Committee of the
lower branch of Congress had absolute
ly refused to give a hearing to the com
mittee of the American Newspaper
Publishers Association which had
sought opportunity to give reasons for
the recommended legislation. Roose-
welt can recommend but the Republi-
can majority in the House means to
stand pat
Republican editors and newspaper
owners can probably see more clearly,
in the light of their self-interest, the
cogent reasons for a modification of the
pulp and paper duties, but they should
see, also, that however reasonable their
demand they will never find Repub-
licah Congress willing to grant 1t. Is
it possible President Roosevelt under
stood this when he recommended that
Congress make an exception to the gen.
eral program Of postponement and de-
lay? There is at least chance that
he knew his recommendation would be
a mere play to the galleries.-St. Louis

FIFTY KILLED IN A WRECK.
Collision Results in Belgium's Worst
Railway Horror.

The worst railroad catastrophe ever
recorded in Belgium occurred near
Contich. six miles southeast of Ant
werp, when the Antwerp express, strik-
ing a misplaced switch while running
fifty miles an hour, crashed into a
train loaded with pilgrims on a sid
ing.
Every car Of the pilgrim train, ex-
ceptlng the foremost one, was tele-
scoped. The coaches were literally
ground to pieces and nearly all the
passengers were killed or severely In
jured About fifty dead we're reToyed
from the wreckage and more than 100
were injured. Surgeons and nurses
arrived early from Antwerp. The sta
ton at Contich was converted into a
temporary morgue and hospital and
filed with tie dead and wounded.
1t appears that the locomotive OF the
express train left the track and plunged
into the last three passenger coaches
Of the train on the siding. This train
was carrying 81 excursion Of pilgrims
to a local shrine.

wing is about ready for plastering. The
rooms have practically all been partition

Dishonest Statistics.

Since the Census Bureau has been
made permanent institution, costing
millions every year, and for which
$14,000,000 is asked to take the next
census, it has become most partisan
institution. 1t is charged by the Assoc
ciated Press, and the American News
paper Publishers Association at their
late annual meeting, with issuing
false reports of news print paper
prices which were recently furnished
to Congress by the director Of the Cen
sus Bureau. The newspapers here rep
resented used approximately so per
cent of the news print paper consumed
in the United States. We denounce
the quotations as submitted to Con-
gress as misleading and unworthy of
credence. The reiteration of the accu-
racy of these figures of the director
after the error had been called to pub
lie attention tends to shake public con-
idence and respect for statistics thus
compiled"
1t is rather a satisfaction to have
the charge of partisan statistics made
by Democrats substantiated by such a
high authority, but it is rather late in
the day for such an acknowledgment
oy Republican publishers, whose pa
pers have derided the Democratic
claim. The fact is that not only the
Census Bureau, but the statistical bu-
reaus of other departments have all
been run in the interest of the tariff
protected interests. and the false re-
ports" now charged against the Census
Bureau can be also proved against the
Labor Bureau and the Statistical BIZ
reau of the Department Of Commerce
and Labor.
1t is quite doubtful If there has ever
been an honest census, but it is certain
that the statistics adduced from the

Police Believe Rich HortonviIle
Woman Was BrntaiIy slain.
Bearing every evidence of the commits
sion OF brutal murder. the disfgured
body Of Mrs. Carrie Shaw, a rich young
widow, was found in a mill pond twelve
feet deep at the village of HortonviIIe
The discovery was preceded b. the finding
near the water of part of the woman-s
wearing apparel. Charles Abrams, who
was seen with the young woman the pre-
vious night, was arrested at New Lon
don. The pair are said to have been
keeping company, and it is asserted that
Abrams called upon the woman to make
up a quarrel of some days duration. Abb
rams made a statement in which he de-
ciared that he was as much surprised as
anyone to learn of the young woman's
death. He is unable to account for the
finding of the body, as he said he left
Mrs. Shaw all right at tts depot the pre-
yioIs night in Hortonsille.
