speech at a meeting in Newark

Mr.. Hearst made an attack upon
John Z. Lamb, vice chairman of the
Democratic national committee, and

Wits in support of his charges. He
said in part:
.In the place of Mr.. Haskell as
treasurer, the Democracy has APP

hostile to union labor as Mr.. Haskell
was.
"But that is not all. Mr.. Lamb, the
vice chairman OF the national commit

Origin of Plug Tobacco.

"All the difference in the world in tobacco. I've tried some twenty different kinds. and none Is as good as that we used to make ourselves down on the farm. We would take a maple log while 'twas green and bore a dozen holes in it with a two-inch auger. They were our molds. We selected our choicest tobacco and soaked 1t for a week or more in wild honey. Then we'd take a leaf to the log, get a good hickory 'tamping' stick and go to work.
 "A little ball of the honey soaked tobacco would be put in an auger hole and tamped in with the stick and a hammer. We'd pound 1t in solid. Ball after ball would be rammed in and pounded until the whole became solid plug. When the hole was nearly full we would pound in the plug and then the log would be put away to season. As the wood dried the moisture would be drawn from the tobacco. And when it was split the sweetest tobacco ever made was taken from it. We called it plug tobacco and that's where the name orig inated. ."-Tobacconists Journal.

Asks Fair Play for Railroad comps nies.

An interesting and rather as- tonishing array of statistics is given by Logan G. McPherson in the North American Review for Novem- Der. He points out with clearness that must suprise all those citizens who are in the habit of blaming the railroad for all their ills, that figures that will not lie are saying a lot of good things for railway corporations.
 The United States census, the reports of the Interstate Commerce Commission and the records of the year book of the Department of Agriculture, are placed side by side for the purpose of telling just what they really mean. Taking the good American dollar as the unit of measure of value, it is found among other things, that the net returns to the railroads of this country for the year 1905 ($616,- 341, ,657) were less than one third the net returns to the country's manufacturers, with nearly the saine total capitalization, and less than one fourth the net returns to the farmers of the nation.
 If 1t be claimed that the low net returns to the railroads Is because of their inflated capitalization, the reply is made the present total capitalization, including all inha- tion, is only about $52, 1000 a mile, far less than that of the roads of any other country, as shown by President Hadley of Yale, Presi- dent Roosevelt and other author ities. And to make it's profits the railroads nave to spend more money than either manufacturers or farmers. Truth telling figures again show here that to get one dollar back in net returns it costs manufacturers $6.62 of capital, farmers $9.44 and railroads $22. 40.
 Deductions show that while the administration of the railroads is far more economical than that of either manufactures or agriculture, the returns to capital are far less, and this means that the prices for the railroads product-transporta- tion rates are relatively lower than the prices for the other products compared. Again, Interstate Com merce Commission figures show the average railway rate per ton per mile for 1905 to have been a de- crease of S.8 per cent over the ten year period between 1890 and 1S99
 That piratical speculaters have brought about an unreasoning pre- judice against the railroads the writer comedies, but he urges the necessity for fair play if the na- tons general health and prosperity are to oe assured, and suggests the wisdom and good sense of readjust ing popular impressions to fit the facts that the figures here quoted unmistakably demonstrate.

DELIBERATE FALSEHOOD,
SAYS CANNON, OF CHARGE

DANVILLE, ILL.,, Oct. 31.-Speaker
Cannon, at the request of Rev. F. M
Bristol. bishop of the Methodist Epis'
copal church, addressed him an open
letter in answer to the question put
to the speaker: did the speaker pre-
vent the house from taking vote on
the Littlefield bill?"
Mr.. Cannon in his letter said: IL
did not prevent the house from con.
sidering the Littlefeld bill or voting
upon II, and | will add that I had no
power to prevent the house from do.
Ing either for, as Mr.. Lituefeld says
in his letter to me of Sept. IL, there
are no rules, there Is no committee
on rules and there is no speaker that
can prevent a majority of the house
from taking up any measure and act
ing upon II at any time.
Rev. p. A. Baker, OF Columbus, o.,
general superintendent OF the Anti
Saloon league, and Rev. s. l.. Nichol-
son. legislative superintendent Of the
Anti-saloon league In Washington.
seem to be responsible for the mis-
statements that have been circulated.
. They both state, that as speaker,
I packed the judiciary committee to
prevent the report Of the Littlefeld
bill This Is deliberate falsehood,
which has been repeated In the facc
of denials from the speaker. Mr..
Iittlefeld and Republican members
OF the judiciary committee.

Saturday morning when IL became
known that Attorney Seward l.. Mer-

proceedings. and Prosecuting Aattor-
ney Yerkes had been asked to proceed
IN criminal action.
II also seems clear that Ike" Rosen-
Berg, the guard who carried the $40 70
Juror Hay, will be the man investi-
gated, as Judge Brooke gave out the
statement Saturday that the judges
do not blame Mr. Hay in the least for
MS action In the matter, and believe
that he rendered q distinct service to
the public when he reported the cir
Gums tances to the court. This leaves
Rosenberg and the unknown pale
faced young man" who. Rosenberg
says, gave him the money for Hay, to
fight 1t out.
Rosenberg's story, as given out by
him. Friday, differs from the version
by the auditors Saturday. Rosenberg
says he turned the money over TO
Judge Brooke as soon as Hay re-
turned 1t to him. The auditors say
Rosenberg kept the bill three hours.
and made no report TO anyone until
after he had been questioned by Judge
Brooke. whom the juror first told OF
the transaction.
That Rosenberg Is the victim Of
