The police charged the crowd. dragged

four cars which We're stalled there to

again were stalled in the middle of a big
mob. and every window in them was
smashed by the rain of stones The police

Cleveland, May 17.-For the first time
in the present street railway strike on
the line of Mayor Johnson's Municipal
Traction Company dynamite was used by
the strike sympathizers tonight in an
effort to force a discontinuance of the
service.
a small dynamite bomb exploded under
a street car at Broadway and East Fifty
fifth street and the front trucks were
lifted off the tracks. The passengers
were panic-stricken. and several were
hurt in the mad rush for the doors.
No one was injured by the explosion.
bat the police cracked many heads in
holding in check the mob of leo persons
who gathered at the scene after the ex-
plOsion.

Box of EXPLOSIVES.

A boz containing two sticks OF dyna-
mite and equipped with Illuminating caps
was found On the car tracks at East
Fifty-ffth street on the st. Clair line.
The box contained enough explosive to
blow a street car 20 splinters.
During the day practically no resist
ance was offered to the operation Of the
cars by the strikers and their sympa-
thizers. There was no rioting. but trolley
wires were cut in many, sections of the
city.
Toward evening mobs gathered at the
different car barns. and shortly after
dark a riot occurred at the West Madison
barns when an attempt was made to
resume service on this line. Cars were
operated on Irregular schedules on all
lines except St Clair. West Madison, and

BRYAN ABSOLUTELY SAFE.

The New York Herald, like great

gusted with this idea that Candidate

effect that the election of Bryan means

is something supremacy ridiculous IN
the nervousness of Wall street over
the possibility of Mr.. Bryan's cleo

There is no reason to believe that Mr.

GOING HOME
FOR VOTING

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-The gen.
eral exodus of voters from the Dis
trict of Columbia has begun. The re-
duced railway rates offered this year
are the best ever given by the rail-
ways. Heretofore it was possible to
get rates to points only in the middle
states and a few of the eastern states.
This year the voter may buy a ticket
from Canada to Mexico, and as far
west as Denver. The reduced rate
this year makes it possible for the
resident of the District of Columbia to
go home to vote at a cost of only l y
cents mile, when in 1904 the rate was
cents a mile.
The outgoing trains during the re-
mainder of the week will carry several
thousand voters in addition to those
who have already left the city. Many
clerks use their annual leave of alb
sence for this purpose, and it is diff
cult to estimate the exact number CT
voters who viii have gone home by
Tuesday.

SENATOR PILES.

1t is to be regretted that Senator
Piles was not as frank in his speech
last night as he was in his interview
in The Evening Statesman yesterday
afternoon, when he unequivOcally de-
clared for the guarantee of bank de-
posits Last night he merely contented
himself with arguments on behalf Of
the postal savings bank system, and
the bare statement that if the people
wanted the guarantee system the re-
publican party was willing to give it
to them.
In connection with his interview
yesterday afternoon, it is interesting
to note that Senator Piles is in COM
plete accord with the republican state
platform, which declared that the re-
publicans of the state of Washington
demand such legislation, both state
and national as will protect and guar
antee the deposits in all banks
However, since Candidate Taft, at
The behest of the big bankers, took his
stand in opposition to the guarantee
idea, Washington republicans have
been trying mighty hard to forget
what they "demanded'' in their state
platform.

REPUBLICAN PROSPERITY.

In looking over the records of panicS
we find that one of the greatest panicS
known began in 1873 and lasted five
years, and there was republican pres
dent and republican congress and high
tariff,
In 1888 when Arthur was president
supported By republican congress
there were 1884 business failures in
volving liabilities of $172.S74000 and IN
1884 there were 1O,96S failures involv-
ing a loss of 1926, 343, 900. In 1S90-91
with Harrison president the Mckinley
tariff in force, there were 23,067 bust
ness failures involving a loss of $780,
100000 and President Harrison had
ordered the bond issue and the plates
were made which descended to Presi-
dent Cleveland's administration, and
in 1897 with an autOcrat in the White
House with an Aldrich senate and a
Cannon house and high tariff and
splendid resources, and overfioWlng
graneries and warehouses, with repub-
lican showers, with the party near the
very throne, there burst upon this ma
ton the most severe panic ever known.

MR. TAFT AND TARIFF REVISION

Observe that for month past Mr.
Taft has said little, almost nothing,
on the subject of tariff revision. A few
days ago he did remark that While
some duties should be raised, the re-
vision would probably be downward
And to effect this revision he would
entrust the task to Cannon, Aldrich
Payne, Crane, DalZell, ct al.
A year or two ago, in a speech at
Bath, Me-, Mr.. Taft declared quite pos
itively for tariff reduction. Now his
talk is all for protection. He lauds
protection. He tries to make the
masses believe that protection bene-
fits them. When he made his Bath
speech Mr.. Taft was not a candidate;
now he is. Then the protected inter-
ests and trusts Gid not loom So near
He must not say anything now to Of
fend them. BY them, if at all, he must
be elected.
1t will be remembered that some
years ago President Roosevelt was also
tariff refOrmer. He talked against
the injustice and iniquity of protection.
But since he became president he has
been dumb on this subject. He has
spasmodically swung his Big Stick out
in the direction of a protected trust
here and there. but has been very
careful never to strike at the citadel
of the trusts, protection. This is one
of his policies which we have no
doubt Mr.. Taft will carry out. Indeed
he is not deceiving the people about

Mr.. CoSGROvES ILLNESS.

II is regrettable that the question of
fact as to whether Mr.. Cosgrove the
republican candidate for governor. is
very seriously i'll or is in the most ro-
best health, should have been brought
I'D at this stage of the campaign. AS
The Evening Salesman has remarked
before, it is sincerely sorry that Can
didate Cosgrove is unable to conduct
an active canvass of the state in the
interests of his candidacy, but the fact
that he is too i'll to make tRls canvass
does not deter The Evening Statesman
from doing what any self-respecting
newspaper would do-acquaint the
people with he truth.
The attempts of the republican press
to make it appear that Mr.. Cosgrove IS
not in ill health would be amusing
were the subject at issue not so seri-
Gus, but over and above it all there
has been no denial, and there can ne
no denial from anyone who has any
regard for the truth, of these facts:
Mr.. Cosgrove is suffering from
Briqht's disease in an advanced stage.
Regrettable though that is, everyone
knows what that means
Mr.. Cosgrove, who has cherished a
life Long ambition to be governor OF
this state and who, as result of the
primaries, saw that ambition within
his reach, has been too i'll to conduct
an active campaign or to even appear
in public since the primaries. Does
this indicate that he is in good health!
If the people want to, The Evening
Statesman has no objection to them
voting for a man who is too iii to dis-
charge the duties of the Office Hor
which he is chosen; but it is firm In
its belief that it's duty as a public jour
nal compels it to print the facts re-
garding Mr.. Cosgrove's condition, so
that the people will know these facts
when they cast their votes, the opin-
ions of any man who has been promis-
ed the position of state printer to the
contrary Notwithstanding.
