stand of the Democrats on reciprocity
The platform sets forth that the Re-

in the Payne-Aldrich tariff, are trying
to get back to Democratic doctrines
and the Democrats, of course regard
this as complete vindication of posi-
tion about which they had no doubt.

EX-SENATOR PEFFER IS so.

Senator William A. Peffer, who rep
resented Kansas in the United States
senate from 1891 to 1897. and who

Peffer continuedto reside in WASH

day Of his life.
It is with sense Of the utmost sat-

EDITOR MUNSON
AND THE TRUBYs

Just why an editor of leading
and respectable newspaper should be
arrested for doing his duty, is some-
thing we cannot understand. Some
men should not be allowed to inter-
fere with the affairs of others. Yet
it seems that if the devil himself
should wish to have man arrested
on hatched up charge, he could go
before an officer of the law, swear
out warrant and have an innocent
man thrown-in Jail. -'-----
The Trubys at least are not in the
best of circumstances as to reputa-
ton, and under the circumstances Ed
itor Munson should not have been
arrested and cited to trial. He was
only giving the news, and that is what
the people want; for this he was put
to trouble and expense, when he had
done nothing only report the facts as
he obtained them, about TRULY, who
is trying to escape from justice. A
mans character and known reputa-
tion should have some right in his
legal rights. While we believe the
law will vindicate Mr.. Munson and
justice will be given him; he will
be out something and get nothing in
return.-Ignacio Chieftain.

A MATTER OF PUBLIC CONCERN

The Ladies' Aid of the Methodist
church think they are comforting a
public favor in procuring the serv-
ices of DR.. Lumpkin, the travelogue
and costume lecturer, and feel that
the affair should receive sufficient pa
tronage to make it at least self-sup-
porting. If more of these kind of
entertainments are to be secured for
our city, they must receive the patron
age of the citizens. The ladies are
struggling hard to sell enough tickets
to make it at least pay its way. The
Albuquerque Citizen says: "As lee
turer, DR.. Lumpkin is the best that
has struck our city in many day."
These costume and curio lectures will
be given in the First M. E. church,
Eleventh street and Third avenue,
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Sept.
11-13. Course tickets 81 for adults,
Soc for high school pupils and 25c

Maine will decide by their ballots
whether the policy Of constitutional
prohibition of the liquor traffic, which
has prevailed for more than a quar-

not. Both sides in the fight have been
extremely active and for many weeks
the state has been flooded with cam
paign literature. Meetings for and
against the proposition to eliminate
prohibition as constitutional feature
were held by the score in all parts
Of the state. The press was divided

BOY CAVE DIGGERS BURIED

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, Sept.
8.-Caught beneath tons Of gravel and
clay that caved in upon them while
they were playing in a small cave on
the bank of Dry Branch at Milligan
park, southeast of Charlottesville, this
afternoon, Cecil Bean, aged IL, and
Ray Stamps, II years old, were
smothered to death. 1t was more than
an hour after the accident that the
crushed bodies of the boys were re-
covered by workmen, who were sum-
moned to the pit by playmates Of the
victims.
The playmates were passing
through the park on their way home
when they noticed there had been a
cave-in. A closer inspection revealed
the hair of the Bean boys head pro-
truding through the earth. The up
per crust of the pit was formed Of
solid clay and a huge block Of this
had fallen on the boys when they

is stole if there ever was one. n
creature of unbelievable capacity to
mask emotion, and listened unflinch-
ingly last night to verdict that
doomed him to death in the electric
chair.
The twelve Virginia farmers who
held his fate in their hands took only
fifty-eight minutes to find him guilty
OF murder in the first degree. They
We're so eager to make known their
judgment that when asked for it they
did not merely allow their foreman to
reply, but they chorused it, all twelve:
"Guilty-guilty-guilty."
These twelve men, mostly farmers,
had prayed in the jury room they
might not take human life wrong
fully and they had opened their con-
sciences to one another for nearly an
hour so they might go back to the
court room firmly convinced of their
duty and be of one mind During the
recesses of the trial they had de-
voted much of their time in singing
hymns, these men of simple life, striv-
ing to forget the story of dissipa-
tion as related on the witness stand.
The expression of their faces was
one half filed with awe as they
cried their verdict, filed with pity for
Beattie, made no impression whatever
on the strange boy. Nor did the SOL
emn gaze of 500 spectators nor the
shouts of guilty" on the lawn out
side, nor the clicking of dozen tele-
graph instruments almost at his ear
which were sending out to the whole
country the word of his conviction.
He stood motionless with his hands
at his sides, his shoulders squared, his
head thrown BACK, his eyes directed
straight forward. Not tremor, not
a blink betrayed fear or regret. He
was magnificent in his defiance Of
death.
A few moments later when Judge
Watson with a tremble in his voice,
solemnly sentenced him to be cleo
trocuted on Friday, Nov. "a, he stood
quiet and as steadily, and at the con-
clusion of the announcement nodded
easily as though to say: eyes; quite
So" He actually was smiling and
trying to cheer his white-haired father
as the old man with his arm about the
boys neck walked across the lawn
with him, after all was over, to the

rived with their warrants at Chris.
tiana on the morning of Sept. IL
1851, the fugitives, who were secreted
in the cabin of a negro named Par.
ker, were prepared for them.
Marshal Kline and Edward Gorsuch
battered down the door of the cabin
and asked the slaves, hidden in the
attic to surrender. The negroes re-
fused to surrender and the warrants
were read to them. About this time
Castner Hanaway and Elijah Lewis
two white residents, known for their
strong anti-slavery ideas, appeared
upon the scene. They were called
upon by the marshal to assist in cap
turing the slaves, but positively re-
fused to lend their hand.
When the marshal's party attempt
ed to storm the attic, the negroes
opened fire and Edward Gorsuch was
killed and Dickinson Gorsuch and DR..
Pearce were wounded. Noting that
the cabin was surrounded by armed
negroes, Marshal Kline gave up the
attempt to capture the slaves.
The federal authorities promptly
took steps to prosecute the rioters.
All the negroes who participated in
the riot were arrested, together with
several white men, including Hama
way, Lewis and Joseph Scarlett. They
were taken to Philadelphia and there
tried on the charge of treason. The
trial lasted fifteen days, and although
the presiding judges, Grier and Kane,
were strong pro-slavery men, the jury
acquitted the prisoners. That lent
additional interest to the exercises
today was the presence at the un-
yelling of Peter Wood, negro who,
as boy took part in the riot, armed
with corn cutter. The family of
Edward Gorsuch was also represented.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. o.
Having asserted that the future well
!, fare of the country depended in a
large measure upon the manner in
which the corporation shall be con-
city, in an address here today said it
behooved every officer of a corpora
tion to so manage its affairs that it
shall commend itself to public senti-
ment of the country and of all the
people of the country to the end that
the attitude of the people toward these
corporations shall not be hostile but
friendly.
Officers of corporations, he declared,
must carry into the management of
their concerns the same rules that
they applied to their private lives.
The occasion was an elaborate
luncheon rendered by the National
Biscuit company, of which Green is
president, at their new plant in this
city. Three hundred prominent bust
Tess men from New York, Chicago
and st. Louis, including forty bank
and railroad presidents, were among
the guests. f. l.. Hine, president of
the First National bank of New York,
was also speaker.
I'm this age" said Mr.. Green, "busi-
ness must and will be done through
corporations. The individual as an in
dependent business man in large
enterprise is fast disappearing from
the face of the land. In his place
has. come the corporation.
( AFhese corporations have a great
mission to fulfill in this country.
Whether for wealth or woe they are
htre and here to stay. They have be-
ctsaie the great factors in the business
life of this republic which we all
love SO much, and in which our free
institutions are entering into the sec
ond century of their trial.
What these corporations shall do
and how they shall act will greatly
determine the result of this trial of
einstitutions.
T'f corporations during this time
of trial, will march by the side of
those who desire that free institu-
tions shall not perish from the earth,
who are striving to maintain this re-
public in it's integrity and to fulfill
the purposes for which it was Gre
ated, they must not be separated from
