KENTUCKY COLONELS’ CLUB. Their Uniform Will Be Prince Albert Coats and White —.. Broad-Brimmed Hats. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. The Kentucky Colonels’ Marching tlub of Louisville, which is to be the first permanent political organiza- tion of its kind in the country, was organized a few days ago with a membership of fifty-two of the lead ing Democrats of the city. The club will have permanent headquarters, will be composed of the men who have made Louisville a Democratic eity, and it is expected will soon be one of the powerful influnces in city politica. Louisville has never had a march- ing club, and the need of it has been felt many times. The idea of a club of this character is to take an active part in the working of the party at all times, and not simply just before anelection, and also to entertain distinguished Democrats who may come to the city on a visit, Ulti- mately the club expects to be able to attend conventions in other cities, take part in Democratic celeb: ations elsewhere as well as in Louisville, and be the nucleus for the party: in Jefferson county. The uniform of the club will be Prince Albert coats with white, broad-brimmed felt hats, the costume which is typical of the Kentucky colonel, This costume will be pur- chased by every member of the club as soon as he becomes & member, and It will be worn on all occasions when the club marches in a body, or Q attends conventions in a body. The & costume is one that will ‘attract at- tention anywhere and the members expect to make a splendid showing when they have secured several hun- dred or @ thousand Democrats in the ranks, Taggart’s Poll Shows Victory. New York, Oct, 8.—Chairman Tag- wart of the national Democratic committee said to-day: “Our canvass has convinced us that Judge Parker will be elected. Thia is not to be considered as an ante-election statement or brag not founded on fact. We now have the figures and we can very nearly fore- cast the result of the election. The canvass shows that Parker will car- ry New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana. We also feel sure of Wisconsin because of the supreme court decision yesterday in favor of La Follette. Of New York we are absolutely certain. Herrick and the Democratic electors will be elected.” Killed His Elder Brother. Ness City, Kas., Oct. 8—John El- Hott, thé son of George A. Elliott, accidentally shot and killed ‘his older brother, Parker, last night. Mr. and Mrs. Elliott were absent, and the children invited afew girls to play “show.” John was the villian in the ROOSEVELT AND LYNCH! LAW. Senator Bailey Arraigns President for His Views on Mob Violence. “If there are among us men who justify the lawless spirit which some- times expresses itself in a public lynch- ing they could not find in all the range of English literature a more pointed and complete defense of such conduct than has been furnished by the Re- publican candidate for the Presidency. Long before the dream of the chief magistracy of this country ever en- tered his brain he devoted himself to the more pleasant but less pretentious tagk of writing books, aad in a work whick he calls ‘Ranch Life and Hunt- ing Trail’ he thus records his approval of the mob:— “During the last two or three years the stockmen have united to put down all these dangerous characters, ofteu by the most summary exercise of tyneh law. Bands of horse and cattle thieves have been regularly hunted down and destroyed in pitched fight by part'ss of armed cowboys, and as a conse- quence most of our territory is per- fectly law-abiding.’ “It is one of the interesting oddities of the Presidents’ mind that he cay contemplate with equanimity, a coun- try made ‘perfectly law-abiding’ by the unauthorized and unlawful warfare of the mob against the outlaws. Th? President then adds, as if relating to a commonplace incident, this mild statement: ‘A little over two years ago one committee of vigilantes in Montana shot or hung nearly sixty— not, however, with the best judgment in all cases.’ “In his work, entitled ‘Winning cf the West’ the President asserts thet ‘good men in such cases band them- selves together to put down with ruth- less severity by the exercise of lync) law the worst offhand, In many cases of lynch law which have come to my knowledge the effect has been health- ful to the community.’ “And in another place the Presidert rather defends the people of the border community for lynching horse thieves: “I rejoice to know that whatever may have been done and said in the Southern states which thoughtless mea cannot indorse, it has never happened among us that any man with inte!- ligence enough to write a book or wit! character enough to command an elec- tion to an important office has ever ju: ified lynching as a punishment fcr theft.” [From Senator Bailey’s speec” in Brooklyn.) WAGES AND TIE TARIFT" A Dilemma for Protectionicts. Great interest has been manifested throughout the country in an extreme- ly able dissection of the relation be- tween the Protective Tarif and the wages of labor, made by Mr. Isaac W. Griscom, of Philadelphia, Pa. Mz:. Grjscom maintains that “the allega- tion that either the general wage rate of the nation or the producing power of the wage is increased by any con- ceivable system of taxation is ab- surd, . . . The idea that the wealih produced by the labor of the natioa can be increased by the taxation of .merican consumers is simply prepos- terous.” In support of his contention, Mr. Griscom denies a dilemma which he offers to supporters of the protection theory: “What we need to know is: Whether can labor; or whether the high wage Mr. Cleveland as a Fisherman. Frem the New York Press, fisherman. His excellent standing in the fraternity of anglers is due leas to his skill than to bis cultivation of the faculty of credence. He listens in patience to every fish story that comes along and believes it abso- lutely, provided it is not backed up by unworthy witnesses. Only the fisherman of ill repute calls for witnesses. George, Jim and John?” says the professional prevaricator, weak in his own faith and reaponsibility. The truthful man states tne caseand rests without appeal. To tell a fishing story at second hand is al- ways dangerous and avoided by all honorable followers of the piscatorial art. Berlin Lokal Avzeigor from Mukden says: a firm determination to avail him- self of this favorable season of the year for military action, thing points to a coming revenge for Liao Yang. The men hope that the period of retreats is past, and that they will be led against the enemy.

Social Reforms, after a heated dis- cussion, decided to-day by thirteen to eight to ratify the absolute pro- hibition of Sunday bull fights. This is considered to be the death blow to bull fighting in Spain. The mostim- portant bull Gght ot the year -has heretofore been Easter Sunday. Ree The introduction of “the big stick” in our national policy found its origin in a speecli made by President Roose- velt in Chicago, April 2, 1902. .At this time the President felt it necessary to explaip to th: peopie why vest sums were expended annually in the build- ing—-up—of—a—naval_torce—which sur- passed the navies of foreign countries in time of war. He sajd: “There isa homely old adage which runs: ‘Speak softly and carry a BiG STICK; you will go far.’" This statement, taken in conjunction with the fact that American warships were rushed all over the world, soon caused Europcvan nations to regard the great republic as an overgrown bully. Later President Roosevelt, at Haverhill, Mass., said: “The good work of building up the navy must go on without ceasing. The modern warship cannot with advan- tage be allowed to rust in disuse. It must be used up in active service, even in time of peace.” Thinking men do not relish the idea of warships being sent on missions that might result in their not rusting n disuse. Among them is Joseph Pul- .tzer, who says to President Rooseve!t: “Was it to use them up in active ser- vice and preserve them from rusting | gegen er er 3 that you kept the Machias, the Iowa, the Concord and the Philadelphia busy | at Panama and Colon for the first six months of your term, and that you had |} the Iowa land marines at Panama two months after you took office?

Chicago, Oct, 10 —“Harry” Rus- sell, whom the police call “the Gen- tleman Burglar,” who has been sought for weeks, was captured here yesterday after a chase covering sev- eral blocks. The purauit was along the streets of the residence district about Garfield park and followed at attempt at burglary. When arrest- ed the man wore kid gloves, patent leather shoes, a light overcoat of ex- perisive make and carried a miver headed cane. He protested with in- dignation against the arrest. The police were puzzled for afow moments but the insistence of the women pur- suers convinced them.
