REPUBLICANS HOWL CALAMITY
Geek to Destroy Public Confidence in
Futile Effort to Defeat
BRYAN

Facing inevitable defeat and with a
full knowledge of the fact that Bry-
ans election is as certain as anything
reasonably can be in politics, the Re
publicans have been forced to resort
to the last refuge of political towards
Ito the calamity howl They are now
engaged in telling the country that
panic and ruin will fellow the election
of Mr.. Bryan. Instead of being patri-
otto citizens anxious to restore bust
ness confidence confidence which
has been lost under Republican adj
ministration-to subserve their own
political selfish purposes they are vain
ly endeavoring to prolong the present
business depression. The question
naturally suggests itself: Why is it
necessary to restore confidence? Why
is it necessary to bring back business
prosperity? What has become of conf
dence, what has become of prosperity?
Both, under a Republican administra-
ton, have disappeared Why is an
other Republican administration neces-
sary to insure return of confidence
and prosperity?
The very same men who, today, are
going about the country still further
destroying confidence by preaching
calamity, are the men, who, four years
ago said that the Republican party
must be successful in order that there
might be prosperity. The Republican
party was successful, but instead of
bringing prosperity it brought panic,
business depression and commercial
stagnation. Whatever may be said of
the present panic, it cannot be denied
that it is a Republican panic The
Republican party is in full possession
of the government and must accept
the responsibility. How, then, can a
continuation of the Republican party in
power cure the evils from which the
business community and the laboring
man now suffer? Let the Republicans
howl about their own panic, and not
make false predictions about what will
happen under Democratic admins
tration. They predicted prosperity
four years ago, and proven false pro-
phets. Why, then, should any sane
man accept their premonitions now
when they say that Bryan's election
would bring business troubles Bust
ness troubles are already here. What
business men want is cure for them
not prolongation of the disease by
the same sort of treatment which has
produced the ailment.
Because business men and laboring
men both know that Republican adj
ministration has produced panic. they
will not be deceived again by these
false cries of Republican calamity
howlers. They know that William
Jennings Bryan is an honest man; they
know that he will give the public an
honest administration They know that
the calamity howl is for the sole pur-
pose of deception.

Republican Treasurer
Is In Seventeen
Trusts.


The trust and corporation af-
citations of George r. Sheldon,
treasurer of the Republican ma
tionaI committee, for the last
ten years make interesting read
ing, in view Of the recent devel-
opments in the campaign.
Most of the corporations with
which MIR. Sheldon is identified
are capitalized for millions.
! How nauch Of their stock is of
the liquid variety can be easily
ascertained. Yet MIR. Roosevelt
has defended him, and his resig-
nation was not demanded when
Mr.. du Pont was invited to step
down and out. MIR. du Pont was
only identified with one trust,
while Mr.. Sheldon is at the
present time intimately identi-
fled with no less than seventeen
prominent financial concerns.
One of these, the Bethlehem
Steel company, does not employ
union labor and has opposed the
organization of its employees for
the past sixteen years.
MIR. Sheldon is a director Of
that company. He is also treas
urer and director of the North
American company, capitalized
for $50, 900, 900, concern known
as the mystery of Wall street"
1t is but few years back since
he was prominently identified
with the whisky trust.
The following are the corpo-
rations with which Mr.. Sheldon
is at present identified: Ameri-
can Locomotive company, Beth
leher Steel company, Cincinnati

troit Edison company, Electrical

Trenton. October-[S Special = Even
the Republicans, who gave the state
the anti-spring election law, confess its
iniquity and pretend to be for its re
peal. That.law is. however, so essen
tial to the preservation of the power
of the Republican bosses that only the
gullible will accept their promise Of re-
peal. They have been in control of the
legislature for enough years to have
repealed the act dozen times over If
they had really wanted to do it, and
they probably would not have even 50
much as given the promise if the Dem
ocrats had not stirred up a popular
hornets nest around them.
There is an atmosphere of home rule
In the severance of the local from the
general elections that is far from
agreeable to the Republican tempera
ment. The Republican policy is to set
over the people bureaucracy of office
holders that gives the people as little
voice as possible in the conduct of
public affairs. The Democratic policy
is for the home rule that gives the peo-
pie the largest opportunity for the
freest exercise of their powers. This
fundamental difference between the
two parties is reflected in their vari-
ance over that system of home rule

ARMY EMILE NOW Is
RANKING ARTILLERY OFFICER

Washington, Sept. 2S.-Orders were
issued at the war department yester-
day directing Colonel William F.
Stewart, now at Fort Grant, Ariz., "a
report at Washington TO go before a
retiring board.
New York, Sept. 2S.-officers here
of the Coast Artillery corps have
found out, they say, that Colonel Will
liam F. Stewart, the army officer who
has been kept at a desoltte post in
the southwest, is at present essential
ly the ranking colonel OF their branch
of the service, and that unless the re-
tiring board before which Colonel
Stewart is probably soon to be sent,
backs up the recent opinion OF the
medical Officers who forbade Colonel
Stewart TO take the horsemanshlp test
a few days ago. Colonel Stewart will
in face become the senior colonel of
the Coast Artillery on December S
next.
This is the date of the retirement
for age of Colonel George Greenough.
the present ranking colonel of the
Coast Artillery. As Colonel Green
ough has already obtained a leave OF
absence, with view to his approach
ing retirement, Colonel Stewart is
therefore practically senior colonel
of the coast forces, even though his
desert command is far removed from
the sea.
Colonel Greenough had been de-
tailed to serve on the Cornman court
martial soon to convene at Fort
Wayne, Detroit, for the purpose of
hearing the charges against Colonel
Cornman. but he has also been ex-
cused from that duty and his active
connection with the army may there
fore be said to have been ended.
But Colonel Stewart has been re-
ported upon by the army surgeons as
suffering from cardiac hypertrophy |
iilation and mitral insufficiency.

DEVIL KILLS NIGER
IN FURIOUS BATTLE

New York, Sept. 22.-Nigger, {
black female leopard, has been killed
by her cage-mate, the Devil, after &
desperate battle in the lion house Of
the Bronx menagerie. Hundreds Of
persons, including women and chill.
dren watched the combat. The keep.
ers made vigorous efforts to separate
the fighters, but could do nothing
with them.
For a week or more the couple had
not been on good terms, and Niger
carefully kept to the corner of the
cage, avoiding her angry spouse.
Then, when the lion house was
crowded with visitors, the female
leopard ambled across the cage to
where her mate lay and began to
scratch her back against the bars.
The Devil instantly resented this by
lifting one Of his paws and knocking
her down. There was no further at
tempt at friendllness by Niger. She
leaped at him and they rolled over
the floor of the cage, clawing and
snarling. The clamor aroused the
other animals, and the roar Of the
lions and tigers was soon shaking the
building.
George Engleholm, one Of the keep
ers, procured an iron spike and tried
to pry the animals apart. His efforts
were Of no avail, and he was Joined by
three other keepers, similarly armed
but the combined force was futile.
For nearly 20 minutes the battle
continued. Then the Devil, by deft
flank movement, sank his fangs in
to Nlgger's throat, and a minute la
ter she fell over dead.
