BRYAN In AN
ANGRY MOOD
Scores Railroad Managers
and Says They Are Trying
TO COerCe Their Men
DEMOCRATIC LEADER
HEADING FOR NEW YORK
MorNT vERNoN. o. 90. -

MOUNT. VERNON, O., oct. I'll
with an evident bitterness Of feeling,
which up to the present time has been
+. absent from his political speeches. W.
J. Bryan, in his speech at Newark, Ohio,
this morning. denounced General Man
Rger VanWinkle. Vice president Charles
schaff and Assistant General Superin-
tendent Albert ingalls,, OF the Wander
bilt railway systems, for their alleged
coercion of the shop and other employees
Of the Big Four the Lake Shore and the
New York Central railway systems.
Bryan called the attention of his
audience 10 their speeches 10 the shop
men at Bellefontaine last night in
which they declared that his election
meant business depression and would
result in a cut Of ten per cent. Of the
wages of the men. Albert ingalls,, is
Charles p. Taft's son-in-law.
Bryan said that the action Of these
railway managers is coercion pure and
simple and should be punished by law,
Il being a crime against the fran
rhise"
"Who has given, these men the power
10 prophecy what will happen if l am
elected2" demanded Bryan.
Are they the Lords anointed and
shall they compel you men TO vote as
they want, and no one raise his voice
In protest. Shorn and bereft of every
issue in this campaign, confronted with
the sure wrath of the aroused people,
whose earnings they have been taking
for their own use. the predatory cor
porations now come and threaten panic
# you elect me and turn their crea-
lures out of the offices. Who is the
Republican candidate that he should
also declare that my election will re-
suit in hard times If he believes this
statement he makes. let him give bond
that the present panic wIl be healed
and good times restored ulnler his ad-
ministration
BRYAN has decided 10 plunge at once
into the New York campaign. He will
give only tomorrow TO West Virginia
and will then go direct to New York
reaching there October % at 1 p. m
He stated this morning that the fight
In Ohio is already won, but tiiat he
will spend another day in the State
before election.

Of the United States supreme court,
according to e. E. Young, attorney
general, and Thomas ID. O'Brien, spe-

Even though the penalty feature of
he law Is declared unconstitutional,
hey say, the whole law is not neces-
sarily invalid. 1t may still be enforced
by mandamus proceedings, in which
event a case to determine whether
-ates are confiscatory would be forced
to trial on its merits, or very likely
the railroads would be willing to
bring a case now pending before Fed

, trial on its merits.

DESIRES TO FILL
UP ALL OLD WELLS

The board OF health at the meeting
yesterday afternoon decided to ask
for legislation, permitting the employ

complete the spring city cleaning
within three weeks, and for authority
to fill up dangerous wells in the city.
City refuse and contaminated water
drop into and percOlate into the wells
and doctors consider them the mos
prevalent source of typhoid fever in
existence. In nearly all cities wells
are filled up, and it is desired here
before the extremely warm weather
sets in. During this high water II Is

passage of wagons to the river, so the

prises afoot.
Judge Reed gave the jury further
instructions to be thorough this morn

had every4reason to believe that menu

EFFECT ON FOREIGN POLICY
EFFECT ON FOREIGN POLICY
(stan Correspondence

Washington, ID. c., March Is
Peace, when long continued in any
country, has always operated against
a strong national spirit. In the United
States the absence of any exterior
condition calling for united and har-
monious national exertlons, has result
ed in a heterogeneous state of public
opinion that makes the nation pecu-
larry uncertain in its foreign policy.
A strong national spirit depends
upon some overshadowing question
which unites all the citizenship into a
common cause. But no such question
.confronts or has confronted the Unit
ed States of recent years and the
effect has been to divide its citizens
into an infinite variety Of sects, or
CARNATIONS and movements each fol-
lowing resolutely its own course and
each esteeming the other to be H.,
mortal enemy. Labor Is at daggers'
points with capital; producers are at
war with manufacturers and consum-
.ers; individualism opposes socialism,
and anarchy opposes both; while in
Vulnerable other distinctions between
citizens have arisen, to divide our ma
Itional house against itself and to con.
,sequently weaken the nation for a
vigorous national policy.
So sharp have become these differ
ences between great bodies of Ameri,
can citizens, that should a war come
upon the country which labor thought
had been precipitated by capital for
its selfish interests, the bitter rela-
lions between them would make such
a war extremely hazardous through a
lack of united effort. While if labor
