CANDIDATE TAFT'S DISAD,
VANTAGE.

Whatever may be said of the per-
s0usl qualities Of the Republican can
didate fr President, and especially o:
bis character as the Good -Natured-
Man, he suffers the odium of not teing
the choice of his own party. The con-
vention at Chicago was dominated by
the overshadowing influence of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Administration and
its army Of office holders. This was
presented in most revolving light by
the contestiug delegations from the
eleven or twelve Southern States who
bad no constituencies, white or black.
behind them. Neither OF the factions
had the slightest claim on the score of
popular representation, and the Taft
faction was admitted. as a matter of
course, in spite of the alleged resent
ment of the Southern negroes.
The Chlcago Convention, because Of
its methods and the administration in
fluenees that pervaded it. much re-
sembled those conventions that meet
periodically in Mexico to ratify the
nomination of President Porfirio Diaz.
When the time comes for the voluu-
tary retirement of the Mexican ruler,
he Will have only to name his sue
cessor, as President Roosevelt has
named his to the official hosts that did
not dare to disobey his imperious will
Mr. Taft is President Raosevelt'x man,
then, aud not the man of the Repub-
liean party. He is the acknowledged
heir of the 'policies. y which a Repub-
lican Congress deliberately rejected,
but which were forced upon this office
holders convention.
If the Roosevelt candidate for Presi-
dent was twice as good natured as be
il, it would be out of the power of his
broadest smile To overcome the wide
spread dissatisfaction of the American
people with the untoward conditions
produced by the Republican rule, and
above all, with the favoritism to the
predatory trusts that are preparing to
pour out their corruption money once
more to safeguard their interests at the
expense ofthe nation. Now, then, is
the great opportunity for the Democ-
racy, as in 1876, 1884 and 1892, to pre-
sent at Denver a candidate and ma
tionaI program that will appeal to the
common sense and patriotism of the
masses Of the American people by their
freedom from mischievous political
heresies and demagogic false promises.

THE reduction in prices of the heavy
forms of steel announced last week,
following meeting in New York, is
expected to result in further increase
in the business of the furnaces and
mills in a gradual way. Steel in
terests maintain that they did not ex-
pect the announcement would be fol-
lowed by rush of business There is
an expectation that by Christmas the
plants, generally speaking. will be in
nearly full operation, although there
is not any general thought that any
pressure for material is likely until
next spring, or at most in the early
winter.

Shadows.

False forever are little dew drops,
That glisteu in the mornings sun;
The sparkle, On, how brightlyl-
But are dead ere the day is done
Soft is the kiss of the SIRENS lips,
And bitter sweet It's true;
There's death to the soul that sips Their
bliss,
Thro' life and eternity too.
Beguiling are the words of the tempted
tongue,
Enticing SO soft and low
Delicious The taste of the cups red wine
But bitter the dregs below.

Pittsburg October 3.-This city can be truthfully said to be baseball mad" to- night. Most everywhere one goes base ball is the principal topic and during the afternoon thousands of persons congre- gated about the bulletin boards In a number of places traffic was retarded py the dense crowds.
 The defeat of New York by Philadelphia and St. Louis by Pittsburg today caused greater interest if that is possible, In the National league race here, and prac- tfcally all Pittsburg is on the anxious seat. where they will remain until after the game at Chicago tomorrow between Chicago and Pittsburg.
 Pittsburg took a firner grip on first place in the pennant race by defeating St. Louis in the final game of the league sea- son here. The score was to 2. Wag- ners batting and fielding and a brilliant catch by Abbattichio of a line drive off Byrne's bat were prominent factors in the result. For two innings the game was even Singles by Abbattichio, Wilson and Maddox, with sacrifice by Storke, scored only one run for Pittsburg in the second and St. Louis promptly tied the score in the same inning on Konetchy's single and Ludwigs lucky triple.
 The visitors jumped into the lead again in the next inning when two runs were scored on hits by Clarke, Leach and Wag- ner. Thereafter both pitchers settled to their tasks and only one more tally was counted, Shaw's double and Murray . single scoring the former. Sensational fielding by Wagner kept St. Louis from counting in the sixth and seventh innings.

Chicago, October S.-Chicago over whelmed Purdue today by a score of S9 to 0. The place kicking of Long John" Shommer and the spectacular runs of Steffen, were responsible for the greater part of the Chicago score. but the Ma rooms held their adversaries safe at all times and after the first ten minutes of play, there seemed little probability of the Indiana players crossing the Chicago goal line. Purdue displayed weakness at the ends, and Chicago took full ad- vantage of the openings. The forward passes of the Maroons were excellent and invariably resulted in material gaining and their line was a stone wall to Purdue when gains were needed by the Indi- anans
