NEW YORK, March 12.-The Lon
don stock exchange was again the
most important focus of financial in
terest and curiosity today. AS a
natural consequence, operations for
the new account were confident;
prices advanced in all quarters of the
London market.
Our own stock market hesitated;
apparently divided between hopes
regarding the English coal trade stu
alton and doubts regarding tomor-
rows conference between anthracite
miners and operators. Most stocks
advanced though the gains We're ex-
tended only to half or 81 of point
and trading was very dull.

Mckinley Got Spanking.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Chair-
man Mckinley of the Taft campaign
was turned across the presidential
knee today and fguratively given sew
eral Resembling spanks, Taft making
ii his first duty after he returned
from Chicago. The president be-
came convinced on the trip that any
controversy or personalities INDUCED
in with the Roosevelt camp are not
good politics from the Taft stand
Font, and Mckinley was told politely
but firmly to desist.
The president is said to have been
aroused by the controversy between
Mckinley and Senator Dixon, manag-
er of the Roosevelt campaign, over
presidential primaries, and was re
/ ported to have become convinced al
Chicago that public opinion was re
acting against Mckinley. Hereafter
no challenges will be sent or accepted
by the Taft managers and the presi-
dent will attempt to keep the ante
convention campaign entirely off a
personal basis.
Gov Walter Clark, of Alaska, told
the president today that the local con-
vention at Fairbanks. Alaska, has
elected fifty delegates to the reDubli-
can territorial convention which
meets at Cordova March 80, which he
said assured the territory to Taft.
P. A. Stanton, of Los Angeles,
wired today that strong Taft organ
izaticn of both men and women has
been formed in southern California.

KEEP IT UP, FRIENDS
This is going to be great year, politically.
Tremendous issues are at stake, not only in
Congress, but in the churches, and in the
various States.
We must stop doing the educational and
charitable work of foreign nations. We must
pay more attention to educational and char
liable work, here at home.
We must halt the encrcachment of the
italian priesthood that is muzzling our press,
intimidating our public men, grabbing our
public money, and debasing our people with
pagan superstition.
We mast assert Americanism, and defeat
the insidious efforts of the italian church to

supremacy of the Civil authority.
We must rescue our people from the law
less, ravenous combinations Of Capital. We
must so change the laws and the business
methods that we can have some voice in the
making of prices, No people can enjoy pros
perity when they do not fix the price of
anything that they sell or buy; and qohen

We must get better men in Office We must
have better laws. We mast take control of
our public business.

Things Look Bright For 1.-THE Jeffs''

NTHILE I was out, speech making, last
w year, our business manager allowed
our affairs to get into bad shape.
Upon discovering this, and making a thorough
investigation, [ soon saw that his whole sys-
tenn was wrong. Thereupon, I Immediately
cut out the speech-making, became business
manager myself, reduced expenses, smplifed
the methods, and increased the efficiency and
the actual work. Never in my life have I
done harder work, than since the middle of
last September. At first, it seemed almost
impossible to get things moving as they
should. For weeks and weeks, the wagon
didn't seem to move bit The people were
not responsive. It was like fogging dead
horse.
But 'bymeby," new life began to appear.
My friends became active Old subscribers
sent in new ones. Full prices, came directly
to us. This, of itself. meant world of diff
ference to our finances.

Charles Summer said, in January, 1857
"The State Of Kansas should be named
Thayer. qoouzd rather accomplish aohat he
has done, than haze acom the victory Of Neeo
Orzeans"
Hon. Eli Thayer's book was published by
Harper Bros. in 1889. On page 189, will
be found the story of the John Brown atroci-
ties. It was from this authority I quoted,
In making the charges, which Mr.. Ropes calls
Giles"
While the quotation was from memory, I
find that my statement was accurate.
Doyle and his two boys were butchered, in
cold blood, by John Brown, on the night of
May 26 1855. The victims were in bed, in
their humble home, when they were dragged
out to be killed. John Brown shot the
father, and Browns sons hacked the Doyle
boys to pieces with strai ght navy swords
cutlasses
Wilkinson was the name of the man who
was torn from the bedside of a sick wife.
The murderers killed him, a short distance
from the house. His sick wife heard his
dying struggles.
William Sherman was another of the John
Brown victims
His atrocities were all committed in the
dead hour of night-the darkness of nature
covering the darkness of the crimes.
Thad Stevens said that "Broacn ought to be
hanged" Henry Wilson said, "John Brown
is ID old fool'
And the Hon Eli Thayer says-page

That is not Southern mans scathing
and scornful summing up against John
Brown. This fearful indictment is
brought by the hero of "The New England
Emf grant Aid Society,"; and so eminent
scholar. Abolitonist and clergyman as Dr.
Ed100rd Everett Hn2, endorses 1t, fM7y.
Surely Mr.. Ropes has never heard of the
Hon. Eli Thayer's book. And I don't believe
that Roosevelt ever did, either; else he could
not, conscientiously have delivered the
extravagant eulogy, at the unveiling Of the
John Brown monument IN 1910.

histories, Kansas fell to VIM. Leverett Spring,

Some weeks ago [ read in your paper some
lies about John Brown, and I marked the

he could not find it. I enclose cents. IF you

I shall have to request my friends Alec.
Norris and j. 3. Alexander, to labor with
brother Ropes. He is entirely too gay with
his flow Of language.
Does Mr.. Ropes know that the Republican
platform, on, aohach abraham Lincoln ac0s
first elected President denounced the John
Brown raid "ns among the gravest of
c2anaeS'?
Does he know that Andy johnson, Lin
coins running mate afterwards, denounced
John Brown in the u S. Senate charging
him with the same atrocious murders that I
mentioned? Does he know that Johnson's
language was even severer than mine?

Tho Sonas Of Yesterday,

We hear a lot of old-time songs,
Some people will implore the singers
to arise and sing the good old songs
Of yore. They sigh and moan about
the Joy they have in olden days, and
say their hearts are yearning for the
songs Of other days.
o, read a book of ancient songs,
1.-THE Mocking Bird" and all-not one
in all the lot But will move you to
weep and bawl; not one in all the
bunch but tells of some one dead for
years; the chorus then is full OF sobs
and bitter, bitter tears.
All broken hearts and busted hopes
aES crushed and shattered dreams the
olden songs go wailing Cd and have
no joyful CLEANS; they're mostly made
of empty homes and unrequited love
with sad refrains that give you pains
and say well meet above"
Next time somebody begs Of you to
sing some song that's old, lift up your
voice and sing the "Silver Threads
Among the Gold" or that gay one
which begs you to See That My
Graves Kept Green" and nevermore
the songs of yore will be called for
l ween.
