mary facts not in dispute, but all that
the colonel is able to say with any
clarity Is that he does not approve OF
all the recommendation of the
monetary commission. though he
thinks the reports OF that commission
are so valuable that they ought to be
more widely disseminated among the
people. If the colonel's promises are
like his performances when he had the
opportunity to accomplish something,
they are quite as hollow and untrust-
worthy as are the planks of ihs old
narties in which he places so little
faith. The old parties with all their
faults have at least record Of
achievement For these the colonel
would substitute new promises, ignor-
ing his own record Of broken pledges.
How he can honestly believe in his
own sincerity Is one Of the puzzles
which VIII perplex the future political
historian of the United States.

Pittsburg, Sept. 3.-F1fty persons
are kr own to have been drowned
yesterday in foods that swept valleys
in western Pennsylvania, Ohio and
West Virginia, causing property loss
estimated high in the millions. The
death toll may mount higher. The
heavy storms of Sunday night
caused many streams in this district
to rise above their banks, and the val
leys soon became the beds OF wild
rivers. which swept into destruction
all lives and property in their paths.
Heavy electrical storms through the
day added to the food and lightning

flooded sections.
Hundreds of families are homeless
and shivering on the damp hillsides.
Railroad traffic is greatly impeded and
many cities are in total darkness.

Among the towns which suffered
principally from the rise of water
were Washington, Beaver, Burgetts-
town, Canonsburg and many smaller
places throughout the CHARTERS, Cher

FULL OF EMISSIONS
WILSON'S UTTERANcEs ON THE
TARIFF SHOW IGNORANCE OR
LACK OF COURAGE.
AIMS TO PLEASE ALL GROUPS
Democratic candldate's Pronounce
ments Differ From One Another
MISUNDERSTANDING the Way Open
for Retreat In Case of Necessity.


Governor Wilson's second important
utterance on the tariff is entirely diff
ferent from his first. Many will think
II no improvement. In a speech at a
farmers fair he told his hearers that
whereas they own big house." they
have "let the other fellow live in IT,"
His advice was that they proceed to
break into their own house and live in
It," It Is an interesting fact that on this
occasion he. before speaking, tore his
manuscript to "Bhreds." In his speech
Of acceptance. he urged that those who
would revise the tariff should go about
It as men who understand what they
are doing" But that speech was care.
fully read word for word.
What does Mr. Wilson mean by his
new utterance? The tariff. says the
candidate, "smothers US" and must
be thrown off. Elsewhere IL is like a
great dam" hemming In national
energy, and must be broken through
How to throw off, the tariff, or how
to break through" It, and the means
to adopt I'm either case are sighted
uyer If this is Mr. Wilson's own
philosophy on the tariff question, serl-
ously meant and seriously applied, IL
must point to wholly reckless point
of view. Compared with the equally
vague but comfortably conservative
platitudes Of the earlier speech, II
seems alarming.
There is little field for purely meta
phorical discussion of the tariff. and
a resort TO 1t at least suggests a lack
" information or of courage. Per
haps the candidate talks conserva-
tive and meaningless phrases when he
wishes to sootne, and radical, but
equally meaningless words when he
wishes to arouse and alarm But the
result is much the same He is not
affording the light and leading on
the issue which the country and,
above all, his own party had a right
to expect.
There ia no excuse for this kind Of
evasion. For three years congress has
been dealing In this sort of political
counterfeit Nothing has been accom-
pllSbtu except the DdsshBe Oh some
fictitious measures intended to embar-
rass the president and mislead the
country. But the discussion has suf-
feed to bring to the front some seri-
GUS divisions in the Democratic ranks.
That Mr. Wilson is aware of these DIFF
ferences. that they have even been
dinned into his ears by the conflicting
groups themselves. is common knowl-
edge. The most powerful men of the
various factions have made pilgrim
ages to Sea Glrt to urge their own
particular brand of tariff views. Still
others. who are primarily political
managers ard not commercial agents
in disguise. have demanded middle

REPUBLICANS LOSE
VOTES IN VERMONT
Only Six Small Towns Are Yet to
Report.
LEGISLATURE is TO CHOOSE
Latest Returns Give Fletcher (Rep.),
for Governor, 25,5s1; Howe

(Pro), 1886.

White River Junction, VT, Sept. 81
The full report of the balloting in
Tuesdays state election in Vermont
was compiled without altering to any
material degree the general figures
as indicated by the early returns.
The unofficial total vote for COVER
nor reached 65,O33, the largest in a
state election in presidential year
since 1904. There was no election by
the people, but a sufficient nun Der of
Republican members of the legislature
were chosen TO insure the seating of
Allen NJ. Fletcher in October. The
total vote of the state was:
Allen NJ. Fletcher Republican,, &c.
259.
Harlan B. Howe (Democrat), 20,350
Rev. Frazer Metzger (Progressiye).
$500.
Clement F. suith (Prohibition).
LAB
Fred w. Suitor (Socialist), 1881.
Returns for senators and represen-
tatives from quarters of the cit
les and towns showed that the Repub-
licans win have no difficulty in seat
ing their candidates for governor and
other state officers. The senate will
contain twenty-six Republicans and
four Democrats and Progressive flu
sionists, and the house will have
176 Republicans, forty-six Democrats
and twenty-four progressives, or sixty
six Republicans more than the neces-
sary majority to elect state officers
on Joint ballot Congressman Greene
and Plumley, Republicans, are re-
elected by large majorities.
Democrats and Progressive leaders
both say the presidential election in
Vermont in November will be stub
bornly contested.
Mr.. Fletcher, the Republican candi-
date for governor, refused to comment
on the result. Mr.. Howe, the Demo
cratic candidate, said: 81 am very
much pleased with the returns and the
support given the ticket throughout
the state"
Rev. Frazer Metzger, nominee for
the Progressive party, said: Il be-
lieve that the forcing of the election
of governor into the legislature con-
stitutes a barometer of the vote of
the national ticket of the Progressive
party. / am delighted with the vote
that the Progressive party has given
me-"
Strength of the Progressive party
in its first lineup against the older
parties and the disappearance of the
Republican majority for the first time
in ten years and the first time in the
history of the state in a presidential
year were the features Of the cleo
ton.
For many years political students
have pointed out that any decrease in
the Republican majority in Vermont
In September below normal of $4,000
has been followed almost invariably
by the party defeat in the presidential
fight in November. These majorities,
which have averaged close to 10000
in all the state elections in Vermont
in presidential years since 1892, We're
represented by a small plurality. The
Republican loss apparently went in
a great degree to the Progressives
and to somewhat lesser extent to
the Democrats.
