mo GOING BACK" SAYS HUGHES
Says People Demand the Elimination
of Abuses.

BOSTON, March 11.-'There will be no
going back. The American people are
intent on the proper administration of
public office. the recognition of the SUI
premacy Of public rights, the discharge
of public obligations and the elimination
of the abuses of public privilege They
also desire to encourage thrift and to
reward industry; to make every man Sc
cure In what he has honestly acquired: to
give every incentive to honorable effort -
This was the declaration of Gov
Hughes of New York last night before the
New England Dry Goods Association in
fremont Temple. An audience represen-
tative Of New Englands principal indus
tries heard the governor, and his attitude
on the questions confronting the country
was warmly applauded.
We want no drags upon American in
dustry,' asserted the speaker; no OBJ
stacles to its extension; no arbitrary gov
ernmental interferences to prevent it's
growth. That American industry may
flourish. and that we may enjoy to the
wholesome activity we must have peace
order, fair laws and honest administra-
ton.
In dealing with our internal affairs the
prime necessity is straightforward. i'm
partial and efficient administration
the majority must be informed if it would
rule wisely: machinery must be supplied
that specific grievances may be investi-
gated. He continued:
For example. with regard to railroads,
it is not to be denied that they are pub
lie enterprises, conducted under public
authority. They are subject to regula-
ton and, on account Of well-known
abuses. the power to regulate is being ex-
ercfsed and will continue to be exercised
The American people will insist upon
demonstrating that the will of the people
is supreme and that the creatures Of the
state shall not dominate its government.
Regarding the tariff he said:
ut is considered important. l believe.
by the majority of our citizens that we
should have a revision of the tariff 1t
without log rolling. in the interest of the
American people as a whole. We shall
adhere to the policy of protecting Ameri-
can industry. We are. not prepared to
surrender our scale Of wages or to permit
our standards of living to be reduced
to those which prevail in other coun-
tries.
Upon complete and just examination
OF the facts any needed REIMBURSEMENT may
be had to the end that the schedules may

the protective policy and the reasonable
necessities of American production.

navigation on the Nile, and there take a
steamer to khartum, khich is said to be
a delightful journey. The forests are
filled with wild beasts and sometimes
passengers may see lions and tigers from
the car windows. a party of friends who
made the trip last fall saw three lions
standing calmly on a hillock watching
the train with evident curiosity as 1t
passed by. and story is told of one Of
the station agents who wired to the next
town asking that the next train bring to
his place a squad of soldiers with rifles
to raise a siege that was being conduct
ed against him by huge lion which had
occupied the platform for nearly twelve
hours. The agent had barred his doors
and barricaded his windows and had been
compelled to remain in seclusion without
food since the previous evening. He had
no means Of communicating with the
neighboring settlement and as there was
only one train a day he was compelled to
wait for the relief It brought.

clared that the state would prove that
