rartars' Holy Well.

A holy well or spring away up on hillside near Kazan and overlook ing the river is believed by the Tar tar villagers to possess extraordi- nary healing properties. The spring flows into rocky basin about ten feet square and three feet deep. The water is pure, clear crystal, sparkling in the sunshine, and the marvellous thing is that the bottom of the well is thickly covered with silver coins thrown in by sufferers who came to be cured by the wa ter, to propitiate the spirit of the well. Although the tank is only three feet deep and no watch is kept on the spot, no one has ever been known to touch or attempt to take any of the coins.-London Globe.

San Francisco. June S0.-Four per-
sons are dead and three others severe
ly injured rs result of an explosion
followed by a fire which occurred

Sweeny in Diamond street. The
dead: John Sweeny, Mrs. John

store, lived with his family in fiat
above the store. and adjoining the
latter was the saloon of 8. F. Johnson,
with the Dissmeyer family occupying
the fat above it. The store and sa-
loon had not yet been opened and the
occupants of the flats in the second
story of the building were still asleep
when the explosion occurred. So ter
rife was its force that Fred Sweeny,
aged 20, who was sleeping near win
dow, was thrown through the window
over the roof of a one-story building
adjoining. The grocery store partly
collapsed and Immediately caught fire.
Before the first fire engine arrived on
the scene the wrecked building and
the adjoining saloon and fiat were en-.
veloped in flames.

The Taft Candidacy.

"The Public" (Chicago), in these
sentences reveals the true nature of
Taft and the true import of his candi-
dacy:
Mr.. Taft is neither plutocrat nor
democratic pretender. He is an honest
aristocrat. A better representative of
the aristocratic ideal could hardly be
found anywhere in American public
life. To him there appears to be an
upper and a lower class, directing
class and working class of wards.
Are we considering the independence
of the Philippines? The Filipinos should
have independence as soon as they are
fitted for it, and meanwhile we who
are already fitted for it must help these
backward ones up toward our own level
NobIesse oblige! Are we considering
labor questions? Working men should
be encouraged to improve their lot, and
there should be paternal legislation to
ameliorate their condition without men
acing vested rights Noblesse oblige!
Secure the upper classes in their privi-
leges, and they will care for the lower
classes who have no privileges. Mob
Jesse oblige! Such is the philosophy
which Mr.. Taft represents. The antith-
esis of democracy, itproposes patron
age from above instead of growth from
within

The Delaware County News takes
issue with those of its republican breth-
rsn who assert that Gov. Cummins is
politically dead, as witness the follow
ing editorial from it's columns: .tsuch
men as Cummins are not eliminated by
one defeat and if the standpatters think
they are rid of him they are sadly mis-
taken. Mr.. Cummins and the princi-
pies for which he stands are right and
there is nothing surerer than the fact
that both are eventual winners. Itwas
thought by the standpat Democrats in
1896 that w. j. Bryan was eliminated
because Of defeat at the polls but he
was lively factor in 1900 When again
defeated it was declared that he would
be heard from no more but here he is
again bigger than ever. The princi-
pies that he is contending for are large
ly right and the corporations of the
country can't kill him off. The prin-
ciples enunciated by Cummins are abb
solutely right and the failure to kill
him off will be as striking as in the
case of Bryan

Speaking of the recent National Re-
publican convention, while it was in
session, and before the nominations had
been made the Manson Journal (Rep.
says: Iowa politics have been rotten;
they have been in the hands of disrep-
utable men before but the party has
never been so disgracefully held in the
grasp of political bushwhackers as it is
at the present time. Think OLA num-
Der of leading republicans of the state
banding themselves together to dictate
whether this shall be democratic state
or republican unless they have their
own way. 1t is shame and disgrace
to Iowa that it has fallen into the hands
of such lot of corporation tools as
now control the state. The honor of
becoming the second greatest states
man in the nation, and possibly its next
president, is denied a young man of the
state, simply because these poltroons
are determined to keep Governor Cum
minis out Of the senate. That such a
thing can be, seems almost incredible,
but the facts are here. :"
The Delaware County News (Rep.)
is evidently of the same mind as the
Journal, for in it's issue of last week
find the following: Cup to the time we
go to press nothing of value can be re-
ported from the National Republican
Convention in session at Chicago. 1t
is conceded that Taft will be nominal

delegation is headed by the longest

Labor Representatives Badly Treated
hn tho cbicooo Convention

by the chicago COnVenIlOH.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, left
Chicago indignant at the treatment re-
ceived by his cause and by him person
ally. Here are some of the things he
said:
"After the treatment accorded me
by the resolutions committee-which
was most shabby and the absolute ig
noring of our wishes in making up the
platform, said Gompers. zone would
have thought the attitude of the party
had been adequately expressed regard
ing labor.
Evidently afraid, however, that
some one might still suspect them of
being in slight measure Favorable to
our cause, they finally clinched the
matter by nominating Sherman. With
that accomplished none of the enemies
of labor need have any fear in support
ing the Republican candidates and plat
form.
tFor President a man is nominated
who, while Federal judge, used the
powers of injunction against the labor
interests whenever he saw fit, and for
Vice President we are offered the
owner of the Utica ice trust, a man
who has always talked and voted
against everything that was even
slightly to benefit the union labor cause.
with such candidates, and such a
platform, can any one be surprised that
the Federation of Labor is going tc
Denver to submit their demands to the
Democratic convention? It is certain
that we cannot be treated any worse
