At the same t that their repre- political policies and 1| ong since dead and declara them vital {asues can ever become truly great. Every advancement In the history of our race has been the direct result of tnde- pendence of thought and action. In most of ‘he states of the United States this Is secured by the presence of the ronue-l parties and the resultant dis- cusslon of every public question before the pecRis, who thus are enabled to form an ntel The great doctrinc ligent opinion and give a verdict at the ballot box. Unfortunately in ~ South ~ Carolina for nearly forty yi we have been unable to have two parties for fear of negro domina- tion and for ten years after the Hampton revolution our people took no interest in public affairs beyond maintaining a white man's government. About the year 189, however, began what was known ag the farmers’ movement, which_was nothing more than an instine- tive effort on the part of the people to pre- serve the principle of self Agitation Better Than ¥ With_Kerby, Norris, Tillman, Donaldson and others I contributed what I could to- ‘ward its success, because I felt that axi- tation was better than stagnation, and it Is assing strange in that connection that the er of that movement, B. R. Tillman, was then denounced, as I am now de- nounced, for attempting to Mahoneize the state. The freedom of thought and action, how- ever, which followed the farmers' move- t opened the doors for every white man and every negro who voted for Hamp- ton in 1876, and they could advocate what- ever views they cared to express, provided only that they took an oath to support the nominees of the primary election. Men who vote the national republican ticket were allowed to vote In the primary for state and county officers, and I have heard from the platform men claiming to be democra vocating Cleveland and the old stand: and others Weaver and free_silver. And since then no attempt a8 been made to exclude those who bolted with the Independent Haskell the Bowden movement or the republican populists’ movement. 4 Proclaiming I elected to congre beated canvass againat able opponents, and on_every stump in the dlstrict I pro- med my independence and announced upon all national questions I would follow my own judgment and not be bound y the caucus of any party.

The_issues ‘growing out of the Spanish war widened the breach between myself and the democratic party leaders, for I could only follow the dictates of my con- sclence and stand by American soldlers fighting on a forelgn soll. At that time the war was not a party question and I hoped it would not become 80. In this 1 was disappointed and was soon confronted by the alternative of re- tracing my steps or finding myself in op- position to a majority of the democritic party leaders ana exciuded from their caucus. I concluded that not even a seat In the United States senate was worth a surrender of my convictions and that opin- fon 1s unchanged. There is not a vote of mine on any ques- tlon growing out of the Spanish-American war that I would change even If 1 could and In which I do not take pride in thus proving my loyaity to my country. I have ever maintained this Independence of thought and action. Last summer, recognizing my responsi- bility to the people, there being no cam- palgn in the state, I announced my inten- tion of going before them for the purpose of discussing these national issues. I was immediately and violently assailed for advocating republican doctrines and branded as a republican in democratic dis- guise. | Real Issues Belfttled.

The public interests should never e subordinated to purely personal ends. Now, the proposition or my political enemies is to exclude me from the primary as a candidate and to exciude all candi- dates for office who entertain my views, and thus prevent the people from hearing me and from hearing them in justification of my course and in advocacy of the ab- sorbing public measures wow confronting the American people. I am absolutely convinced and fore- warned of this purpose to exclude me and my friends, because I have read the speech of Senator Tillman, the acknowledged dle- tator of the democratic machine of South Carolina, delivered at Manning, in which he directs a revision of the rules and form of oath of the eri)' for the purpose of excluding myeelf and friends from par- ticipating in the primary.

I have an abiding faith that it will vet Dbe shown that the dictator of the machine is not the exponent of the views of the majority of our people. The primary sys- tem adopted in our state through the farmers’ movement has been prostituted and perverted into a political machine for the purpose of excluding all candidates whe are not In full accord with the views and wishes of the dictator, The vital question therefore is, will the people ot the state aubmit to this polltical yranny and join in this unholy and un- of distranchi R0 sympathy and feel impelled by & sense of duty to warn.the people n guch tyranny as it encourages and estab- shes With these facts before me and my con- victions as to the original purpose of the primary system.

In dark flannels, with an automobile cap on his head and house slippers on his feet, the Cornishman stepped from the observa- tion car of Union Pacific Overland train No. 1 at Unlon station at 9:20 and gossiped with newspaper men during the twenty minutes his train stopped here. He was met with an armload of flowers from admirers. The fighter was looking fit as a gladiator. Health and strength and perfect condition seemed to exhale a little atmosphere of reserve power about him and the huge shoulders were soon the central point of many gazing eyes. In no feature of ap- pearance, speech or habit does Fitzsimmons show his and in a more dignified way he is as frisky as the boyish Jeffries. Tom Wilson, the soldier-pucilist, was with Fitzsimmons, also Clark Ball, his man- ager; Mrs. Fitzsimmons and Robert, Ji The other children were left in the east with Mrs. Martin Jullas was the great dog, which, by the wa nother one, the huge animal that came to Omaha with the fighter before having died. “I want to fight, I ohall do everything in the world I c get this matter fixed up.

Not a word against Jeftries can be wormed out of him, but when asked on what he bases his own Ropes of winning, he sald: My general superiority as a fighter should bring me out on top.

He had been suffer- ing for several weeke from a nervous dis- order, but as he was able to be about the house his condition was not thought to be serious. When he retired Saturday night he was feeling better than for several days. During the night, however, he seeme1 to lose all his energy and this morning unable to leave Ms room. He grad- ually grew weaker during the day and a: 5:40 p. m. he suffered a sudden collapse, trom which he expired. The physiclans who were attending Mr. Palmer are at a loss asr to the ultimate caure of his death, as apparently he bad no organic troubles. Mrs. Palmer and their two sons, Honore and Potter, jr., were with Mr. Palmer when he died. No arrangements have yet been made for the funera!, but in all probability he will be buried in Chicago, where he ac- cumulated his fortune. Death Not Expected. Mr. Palmer’'s condition had not been re- rded as extremely serious, even by the family physician, Dr. H. B. Favill. Satur- day night he suffered from a fever. His temperature rose then to 100 and by this morning was 101, but Dr. Favill, while un- able to account for the presence of this fever, dld not feel that it indicated serious results. This afternoon Mrs. Palmer noticed symptoms of sinking In Mr. Palmer and be- came alarmed. Dr. Favill could not be found and Dr. G. P. Marquis was called. He reached the Palmer residence at 4 o'clock and after a brief examination of the patient advised Mrs. Palmer that he could hold out no hope. Mr. Palmer had seemed to fall into a sleep at 3 o'clock, although it was fatal un- consciousness and so he remained until the end. Dr. Marquis made a vain effort to hold the wavering spark of life by administer- ing oxygen, but it was without avail. He could only give the family the assurance that Mr. Palmer was passing away without pain. There was silence in the room then until 6:40 o'clock, when the physiclan raised his hand and it was known that death had come. Due to Heart Discase. Just after Mr. Palmer's death Dr. Favill arrived at the residence. After a brief con- terence with Dr. Marquis he announced that death was due to heart disease. He discov- ered a slight disorder of the lungs that gave some indication of inciplent pneu- monia, possibly brought on by an attack of grip suffered several months ago, but not sufficlent to have brought the speedy €1 . News of the death spread rapidly ov»- the city and intimate friends of the Palmer family called at the home ly. Old time associates of Mr. Palmer, such as Judge Lambert Tree, Marshall Fleld, Levi Z. Leiter and Erskine Phglps were informed. Robert T. Lincoln, H., H. Kohlsaat and R. W. Patterson called.

L. Honore gave out such statements as were desired. She sald that nothing could have been more of a surprise to the famlly and that she was positive that Mr. Palmer himself bad never realized that death was near. Native of New York. Potter Palmer was born in 1826 in Pot- ters Hollow, Albany counmty, N. Y. He re- celved a common school education and at the age of 18 engaged ns a clerk in a store at Durham, N. Y., where he remained three years. When he became of age he opened a store of his own at Onelda, removed to Chicago, where he established a dry goods firm. This firm afterward be- ¢ame Field, Palmer & Leiter, of which the other members were Marshall Fleld and Levi Z. Leiter, and which has been suc- ceeded by the firm of Marshall Field & Co. The sharp advance In the price of goods after the beginning of the civil war found the firm prepared with a large stock, and It reaped immense gains from every advance. Mr. Palmer retired from mercantile life in 1863 and so liberal had been his policy in meeting public requirements during the war that the government was indebted to him to the extent of $750,000. Vietim of Big Fire. After disposing of his dry goods interests Mr. Palmer invested in Chicago real estate and began the erection of business build- ings. When the fire came in 1871 he owned thirty-two structures on State street, every one of which was destroyel. His losses were very heavy, but his faith in Chicago was unshaken and he borrowed enough DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, MAY 6 ) 1902 money to en him to reconstruct the bulldings that had been destroyed. He a ready had begun the erection of the Palmer House hotel and as soon as possible after the fire the work on this building was re- sumed. It was completed at & cost of § 000,000, the result being the handsomest and most substantial hotel in the country at that time. FEDERAL GRAND JURY WAITS that It Will Investigate Al ed Beet Combl Denled. Report The grand jury in the federal court was excused untll 9:30 o'clock Tuesday. It was rumored around the federal build- ing that the grand jury would take up the alleged combination among the packing houses, but the assistant district attorney denled the rumor, saying that the local officers of the depart- ment had recelved ho instructions from Washington on the subject and that before the question could be presented to the grand jury much preliminary work would bave to be done in the way of securing evidence upon which to secure an Indict- ment. The present grand jury is one of the most remarkable in the history of the dis- trict from the fact that it contains the names of A number of merchants and bank- ers of Omaha and that it witl be called to pass upon the evidence ot more witnesses than any grand jury in many years. As & start for its work eighty Indians from the Omaha and Winnebago agencies have been summoned. These witnesses will testify mainly as to the sale of liquor to Indians on the reservation. The majority come trom the Winnevago agency, where no thorough investigation bas been had for over a year. The forenoon in the court was devoted to the call of cases and formal motions re- quiring no argument. There are at this term of court 255 cases on the trial docket, ninety-seven of them to be tried by jury and 158 on the equity side of the court. There are 173 cases on the docket of the district court, forty-five of which are for trial at this term. The usual trouble was experlenced in securing cases for trial at the opening of court, and the judge suggested the ad- visability of excusing the petit jury until next week. Judge Carland of South Dakota may be called to assist Judge Munger in the trial of cases, as the latter announced that he intended to complete the jury trials by the middle of June and close the term of court practically by July 1 DOCKET SOMEWHAT LIGHTER May Term of Court Opens with Less Number of Oases LAst.

HIGH MONEY RATES DISTURB MARKET General Situation Gives Satisfaction, However, Owing Largely to Im- proved Conditions of Crops During the Week. NEW YORK, May b.—(Speclal)—Henry Clews, head of the banking house of Henry Clews & Co., reviewing conditions in Wall street, says: Speculation on the Stock exchange has been somewhat irregular, the upward move- ment being arrested by the disposition to take profits, and by the general high level of prices, w h naturally hinderg new buy- ing. Other disturbances have been high money rates incidental to May disburse- ments, the sensational movements in the industrials, the Reading labor difficulties and the evidences here and there of at- tempts to secure control of different prop- erties for extension of the community-of- Interest idea. The extent to which the lat- ter schemes, or, in other words, railroad concentration movements, are Aaffectin the market is not yet thoroughly apprec} ated, although they are more largely ri sporisible for the high prices of good ral road shares than any other single influence. Community of interest has put a stop to rallroad wars and secured better and more able rates for transportation. Traffic be- ing heavy because of the country's growth and activity, the railroads are enjoying a riod of prosperity far beyond what was ever anticipated, and there is little prospect of interruption from new rallroad building while this community of interests lasts, It is the permanence of this idea and the divisiof of the railroads of the country into a few great systems which the big rallroad magnates are endeavoring to establish. Forces which they cannot control are drf ing them into these alllances; for one com- Dbination compels another, and the demands for efMctency, economy and aimpliclty of method are Irresistible, Whether they will or no, raflroad managers, or the systems they control, are obliged to buy info this road and that road in order to prevent absorption by a rival until all the outlyin roads are being rapidly segregated into o larger stem or another. It is guite un- neceseary to mention examples, they have been innumerable during the last few years, But what is the effect upon the stock mar- ket? Simply this: That the floating supply of the best railroad stocks, once active on the list, has been very much reduced by corporation buying, and such stocks are tenaclously held because those possessing control dare not risk its loss by selling. Such a situation offers the bold speculator with a few millions behind him a rare op- portunity for spectacular operations, and, through_artifices well understood in' Wall street, high priced raflroad stocks ~are readily lifted several points a day, to the utter confusion of the ordinary buyer. Of course, such operations are of no benefit to the stock market; they do mot encourage n buying, and everyone knows that the real | buyers’ for control do not rush in at the top, but generally carry their points at times unseen and unknown. Control of Northern Pacific, it will be remembered, was obtained long before the price began to soar. These facts are cited only as one reacon why so many stocks are sellin much above their intrinsic values.
