A Republican, View OF Repub-
Hcan Harmony.

A Republican View OF Repub-
Hcan Harmony.
A few years ago Perry s. Heath was
the secretary of the repub can national
committee, the right-hand man of the
late Mark Hanna and first assistant
postmaster general-which, by the way,
is the position now held, in fact, though
not in name, by Frank III. Hitchcock,
who is now the political manager for
Secretary Taft We find in a Savannah
paper an interview in which he says
these things:
| have never known a split in the
! democratic party equal in extent, bit
terness or determination to that of
the present one in the republican
party. This split is due not to partisan
| principles, or public policies of the
usual character, but to the departure
| from impersonal party policies. 1t is
due to the usurpation of all that be-
longs to the whole people-a condition
so we'll known as to make description
or comment unnecessary. | would not
be surprised to see a candidate nomi-
mated at Denver get more republican
votes than the nominee at Chicago.
MIR. Heath was in charge in 1896 of
the publicity bureaus of the republi-
can national committee. 1t might in
terest readers to know what the work
of such bureau is when, as in that
year, the means for supporting it are
unlimited. II myself caused to be
printed he says, nearly one hundred
and forty carloads of pamphlets, leaf
lets and posters; and furnished mat
ter through the bureaus operated I'M
der the republican national committee
for constant daily. weekly or monthly
publication to over twelve thousand
newspapers and magazines" Mr..
Heath goes on to point out that 10000
votes in certain states in 1856 would
have resulted in the election of Mr..
Bryan. This fact was more definitely
and explicitly explained by the late Gov
Altgeld. MIR. Heath's statement is the
truth, but not sll the truth. Gov. Alt
geld went further and showed that in
certain portions of Indiana, Ohio and
Kentucky there were more votes cast
than there were men Of voting age,
and that these votes, or 8 swinging

featuring establishments and perma-
nent employment of our labor. An
excessive and unnecessary rate of taxa
ton will not induce new manufacture
ing establishments to locate here, nor
is it an inducement for our present
plants to increase their capacity.
The democratic nominees pledge that
when elected to Office they will cut
down expenses wherever possible; that
they will give the expenditure of the
peoples money careful attention, and
secure full value of return for every
dollar expended. In short, that they
will give Wausau what it sorely needs
business administration.
1t is the duty of the mayor, as execu-
tive officer of the city, to maintain
order. am firm believer in the
democratic doctrine that the personal
liberty of the citizen should not be in
fringed upon, where it does not inter-
fere with the rights of others.
| am, therefore, opposed to the So
called closed Sunday, believing it to be
contrary to public policy to interfere
with the established custom of many
people who devote a part of the day to
recreation and innocent amusement.
If elected, promise the people an
administration that will warrant their
full confidence and support.

He says:

insurance men control the insurance

They also lay the excessive high taxes
to the expense of the Sixth street sewer

works, which, they say, were ''paid for
by the present administration" AS a
matter of fact, these improvements were
paid by a bond issue, the first bonds
coming due in 1910 or 1911.

ment of the republican city committee.

HINDU SIKH BEATEN
BY REGULAR SOLDIERS

Two and possibly three men in the
khaki uniform of the United States
army set upon and mauled a Hindu
Sikh named Singh near Heeia. The
brutal assault was committed on Mon
day night in the home of Singh, and
after maltreating the Hindu they stole
money from him and departed The man
tramped across the Pail to town, arriv-
ing at the police station yesterday
forenoon. Owing to his injuries, one
of which was a broken nose, the police
sent him to the hospital for treatment.
At the time the soldiers entered
Singh's house the occupant was asleep.
On waking up Singh confronted the
soldiers only to be knocked down and
pummelled. He was kicked and thump-
ed, his face lacerated and torn, and
when the men finished their fiendish
treatment he was covered with blood
They went through his clothes and took
what little money he had,
Singh says the men were soldiers,

company of soldiers from Fort Shafter

matter has been laid before Major Dun

PROPER ATTENTIONS TO
MURDERERS WIFE.

Bay Side, l.. l., Aug. 17.-Captain
Peter Conoyer Hams, Jr., U. S. A,
son of Brigadier General Peter Como
yer Hams, U. S. A, retired, fired sew
en- bullets from a revolver at William
e. Annis of New York, owner and
publisher of Burr McIntosh's monthly
and other magazines, late Saturday
on the landing stage of the Bay Side
Yacht club, at Flushing, and Annis,
whom Hams brother had accused of
having been improperly attentive to
! the captains wife, died in the Flush
ing hospital a few hours after the
shooting.
A crowd of gayly dressed women
and yachtsmen, among whom was
Mrs. Annis, witnessed the tragedy.
Hams, accompanied by his brother,
Thorton Jenkins Hams, well known
as an author and amateur yachts
man, walked to the landing stage of
the club as Annis and a club member
named HarWay were disembarking
from the boat, and at once opened
fire upon the man whom he holds re-
spOnsibIe for disrupting his home
Annis attempted to get behind Har-
way, but Hams reached under Har-
ways arm and emptied his revolver
upon his enemy.
Immediately there was commotion
on the clubhouse pier and Mrs. Annis
and a dozen yachtsmen rushed to the
assistance of Annis. Before they
could get to the side of the wounded
imam, however, T. J. Hams, the cap
tain's brother, whipped out a revolver
and threatened to shoot the first man
who interfered.
This is an affair between these
two" he said, calmly. Annis, with
two bullets in the abdomen, one in
the arm and two in the legs, was hur-
ried to the hospital.
Captain Hams and his brother
neither of whom appeared in any way
disturbed, awaited the arrival of po
lice on the club float and then sur
rendered themselves.
