LOYAL TO PROTECTION. The l'<*n iim> IvHiila ('onrciitlon Op poncd Any General Re* i»ion of the Tariflf. Pennsylvania is a business state, a state of producers, a state of wage earners, a state where republicans and foremost democrats have united for years in the advocacy of protection as an upbuilding' principle. They could never pet Samuel J. Randall, once the most prominent democrat in Pennsyl vania, to jump into the free trade maelstrom. He knew that it was the current of protection that was turning the wheels of mi 1 Is. and filling the res ervoirs of prosperity, says the Troy Times. The republican state convention in Pennsylvania was loyal as ever to a protective tariff, and opposed any sug gestion of a general revision of the present tariff law. The republicans of Pennsylvania, in their platform adopt ed, say of the law: "Since its enactment we have conducted an expensive war with Spain and paid its cost. Within the last three years connress has reduced taxation to the amount of 11 16,000,000 per anunm, and yet the national treasury to-day Is richer by $97,000,000 than It was before the war began. We believe It to be the dictates of wisdom to let well enough alone, and not to imperil business Interests by any suggestions of present in terference with revenue legislation. Per manence and stability of tariff rates are essential to continued business prosperity." Protection is a theory founded on facts. Free trade is a disturbance founded on theory.

Protprrlly IN General nml Ituaineiis IN HOOIIIIIIK Throughout the Country. Statistics for April on commodity prices in proportion to consumption show that the cost of living during that month was lower than in March and lower than a year ago. This is most gratifying, in view of the fact that wuges are higher than for many years past and employment more plen tiful, Huyt* the Troy Times. Prosper ity is general throughout the country, and business is enjoying a boom that has never been exceeded. In the west the farm crops are so large that the farmers are unable to obtain enouph help to harvest the yield of the soil. The Kansas wheat crop will be the largest in the history of that state, and it is estimated that 30,0(10 extra farm hands will be needed to gather the crop and prepare it for shipment. Such a condition is very encouraging to labor. Instead of the man looking for the job the j<»b Is looking for the man. This of course means better compensation. With good jobs, high er wuges and foixJ products lower onr does not need togo far to seek the reason for increnfed savings bank de posits and generally improved condi tion among the men and women who toil. It is a discouraging outlook for only one class of individuals, and that class consists of the discordant ele ment known as "calamity howlers."

AS TO THE 41 IOWA IDEA." How Sfimlor Alllnon Proposes to Dis pone of a Fictitious Issue. It. is given out that Senator Allison has undertaken to draw the platform at. the coming lowa convention, or at least that part of it which relates to the tariff. The purpose behind the selection is to frame a plank on which all republicans can stand. No man is better fitted for the task than Senator Allison. He is politic, wary and sagacious. He is past master in the art of composing differences and bringing settlements, sa.vs the Phila delphia Press. The plan announced in connection with Senator Allison's leadership har monizes with the part. When others were quarreling over what was called the "lowa idea" last year he said that there was nothing in it to quarrel over; that the state platform which was the subject of so much dispute embraced nothing which was not con tained in the St. Louis national plat form of 1896 on which President Me- Kinley was elected; and that thus disputants were making an issue where there was no issue. As the natural sequence of thit! view he proposes that the contending sides in lowa shall agree on the tariff plank of the St. Louis platform in form or in substance; that it shall be adopted at the lowa convention this year, and that it shall be submit- tod to the national convention next year as the basis of general agree ment. Gov. Cummin*, who is the spe cial champion of the so-called "lowa idea," is said to have accepted this proposition; Senator Allison's own support carries the favor of the other side; and I'resiSent Roosevelt is rep resented as having given his concur rence and approval. All this is not only not improbable, but natural and reasonable. What i 3 called the "lowa idea" has been in vested with a fictitious importance and significance. It. has really been only the fulcrum of some personal and factional leverage. It has been the stalking horse of personal ambi tions within the party, and its mean ing has been more political than economic. Senator Allison is quite right in saying that there is nothing in it which was not in the national platform of 1896. All republicans ac cepted then without, any question, and there is no reason why it should not be accepted now. DemocratM in More Trouble. Here is more trouble for the dem ocratic party. There are many indica tions that the populists of Kansas and other western states will support the republican ticket ne*t year. Asa mat ter of fact many of them have recently been voting for republican candidates. Nor U there any thing surprising about this. It is certain that a large pro portion of the populists came from the republican ranks. They were carried aw a j temporarily hv the free silver and other delusions, but thej never were at heart in sympathy with the cardinal free trade principle of the de mocracy, or !-<iine of the new-fangled and ill-digested ideas of Mr. Ilrynn. Experience and wise republican admin iktration has taftght them the fallacy of the cheap money and other populi>- tie notions, and those of them former ly in sympathy with the republican party tire returning to their first love.

A iWclilsan Woman Said to IIav« Committed Them Strychnine Tab* li'lK Were Kalkaska, Mich., June 11.—-After two weeks' work Prosecutor E. C. Smith has secured the confession .of Mrs. Mary McKnight to the cold blooded, premeditated murder of her brother, John Murphy; Gertrude Murphy, his young wife, and their 3- niontlis-old baby. A partial confes sion was made Monday evening in which Mrs. McKnight denied killing the baby. Late Tuesday night Smith again called at the woman's cell at her request and this time she made a complete confession. In her state ment she admitted giving Mr. and Mrs. Murphy capsules of strychnine and quinine mixed. Eight other persons beside the three to whose murders Mrs. Mc- Knight confessed, investigation shows, have died in the past 15 years under circumstances that, in view of the woman's confession, are now thought to be very suspicious. All of the eight were either relatives or in timate friends who died while living with Mrs. (McKnight, or while she was at their house. All are said to have shown symptoms that are now believed to indicate strychnine poi soning. They are: Ernest McKnight, the woman's hus band. James Ambrose, lier first husband, who died in Alpena in ISS7. Mrs. McKnight, the wife of James E. McKnight, who was the partner of Ambrose. Baby Katie, 'Mrs. McKnight's niece. Eli/a Chalker, another niece, who died at Grayling in May, 1892. Sara Murphy, Mrs. McKnight's sis ter, who died" at Grayling in Febru ary, 1898. A Mrs. Curry, who died in Saginaw in 1893 while Mrs. McKnight was at her mother's house. Dorothy Jenson, a child, who died in Grayling while under Mrs. Mc- Knight's care duriDg the absence of her mother. Investigation of these deaths shows that all of these persons except Mrs. Curry were taken suddenly ill and showed what are now regarded as unmistakable symptoms of strych nine poisoning. The physician who attended Ernest McKnight, the wom an's husband, says that he is now con fident that McKnight died from strychnine. The physician, Dr. Leighton, who was battled by Mc- Knight's trouble and the suddenness with which it came, says he can see now that he had every symptom of strychnine poisoning. Eliza Chalker and Sara Murphy were stricken at the table while Mrs. McKnight was pres ent. Both died in convulsions in a few hours. There was no suspicion against Mrs. McKnight in connection with the murders until she filed a mort gage on her brother's property after his death, on which the figures had, it is alleged, been raised from S2OO to SOOO. An investigation was then be gun. The body of John Murphy was exhumed and strychnine found in the stomach. Mrs. McKnight was placed under arrest, with the result that she confessed. Her confession was en tirely voluntary and she seemed per fectly sane, although under great mental strain. Xo motive for the crimes can be found. BIG BRIBERY FUND. It In Alleged to Have Been ICalned to Secure Admission Into a Labor Or ganization. New York, June 11. —District Attor ney Jerome in an interview yesterday told of further transactions involving Samuel J. Parks, the business agent of the Housesmitlis' union, now under bonds. In the fall of 1902 a strike was precipitated by the Amalgamated Painters and Decorators. It affected principally the boss cabinet makers. The Amalgamated Painters and Dec orators' organization was a member of the building trades council, while its rival, the Brotherhood of Paint ers, Decorators and Paperhangers, was not. The employers decided they could best fight the strike by fostering the brotherhood. Accord ingly they tried to obtain for it rep resentation in the council. The brotherhood, said Mr. Jerome, raised $25,500 towards its expense of obtaining admission to the council. A prominent cabinetmaker urged 17 firms to contribute $250 each for the same purpose. Two firms refused. The Union club was one of the con tributors. After the money was paid, Mr. Jerome said, a brotherhood man told the cabinetmakers: "While we have collected this fund, it is impossi ble to do what we want with this amount. There is to be an election of officers in the council soon and it will be necessary to make another collect ion." Again the cabinetmakers were call ed upon. Raid Mr. Jerome, and each gave up S2OO more. This amount wm paid to five walking delegates. On i of them, Mr. Jerome declared, was Parks. Fatal l »|.1,.-1,.;i In a 'line.

Rnssla Hotlines to Accept American Offers to Help tile Klselilnell' Suffer" ers. Washington, June 11. —Numerous offers have reached the Russian gov ernment from 'American sources to aid the families of sufferers in the recent Kishineff incident. All such offers have been declined for the rea son that Russia is entirely capable of extending relief and under the cir cumstances cannot accept outside aid. The Russian position in the matter is as follows: Russia has not been unappreciative of the generous offers which have come to her from America since the affair at Kishineff, nor of the motive which may have prompted these of fers. In view of the fact that the emperor has the means at hand to relieve suffering whenever it appears in his empire, outside aid is unneces sary and all offers of such must be declined. Nor will it be possible for Russia to receive any representations regard ing the Kishineff incident from a for eign power, The Russian government takes the same position as that long held by the American government, namely, that it. refrains from inter fering in the internal affairs of an other power and must insist on sim ilar treatment for itself. Should any foreign power take steps to restrict immigration of Russian Jews on the ground that they are undesirable, Russia will not protest. SHOPMEN STRIKE. Twelve Hundred Men In tlie Umploy ot tlie Chesapeake &. Ohio Itallroad <'o. Unit Work. Huntington, W.- Va., June 11. — Twelve hundred employes at the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad shops in this city, and including even the of fice force, struck Wednesday, the cause being perhaps the oddest ever known. William Davis, a carpenter employed by the Chesapeake & Ohio and who is a member of the city council, recently voted along with a majority of the council to take from Mayor Buck his authority to name the standing committees for the en suing year, this being the termina tion of a fight between the ftiayor and the chief of police. Policemen appointed by the mayor were dis charged and others named contrary to his wishes. Mayor Buck being a member of the Blacksmiths' union, his fellow laborers demanded that Davis be discharged. The Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Co. refused, hence the strike. Worst Storm In JO Years. Philadelphia, June 11.—Tlie heaviest electrical and rain storm that has vis ited this city in 30 years was experi enced Wednesday. The city for near ly half an hour was rendered almost as dark as at midnight and the storm raged for a full hour, hail accom panying tlie rain. Nearly two inches of rain fell. The sewers in various sections of tlie city were flooded, many telegraph wires were prostrat ed and trolley cars were blocked. The New York Shipbuilding Co., in Camden, was forced to shut down because of the flooding of its electri cal plant, and the Pennsylvania rail road tracks were under water. Indicted the illayor, Pittsburg, June 11.—The grand jury yesterday returned a true bill against William li. Hays, mayor of Pittsburg, charging him with misdemeanor in discharging Samuel Moore from the city's employ. Moore was an official of the ordinance bureau of the city and an old soldier. On March 31, 1903, he, with a number of others, was discharged by Hays. The matter was taken up by the old soldiers of the county and a test case was made in Moore's ease. The case is being watched with great interest by G. A. R. men, as upon its result hangs the fate of other veterans who were dis charged. 71 list Serve Ills Sentence. Raleigh, N. C., June 11. —James Wil cox. the murderer of Nellie Cropsey, of Elizabeth City, will have to servo his sentence of 30 years in the state prison here.

On the sec ond trial in a different county he was convicted of murder in the second de gree and sentenced to serve 30 years in the penitentiary.

Nlendy Demand Noted In Nearly All liluc* Lubor Troublf* Interle r* Willi Iluolnt-Ms Operation*. Xew York, June 13. — 11. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Except in those branches of busi ness that are always quiet at this season, reports indicate a steady de mand and prices of commodities are firmly maintained. Manufacturing returns are irregular, idleness in tex tile lines partially offsetting the good effect of activity elsewhere. That furnace stocks of pig iron increased only 40,000 tons last month, despite the unprecedented output, testifies to the great consumption of the steel industry. Quotations are without alteration, although much business is delayed by labor troubles. In case of a general settlement of these conflicts there would be re sumption of work on many buildings, and, including the requirements of railroads, a heavy tonnage would be sought. It is an evidence of confi dence in the future that blast furnace operators are forcing production be yond all previous maximum figures. While the demand for structural steel has diminished, there is notable inquiry for rails and plates. .Ma chinery and hardware lines are doing remarkably well for the season, which is usually quiet in these de partments. Coke ovens are surpass ing all previous records for activity nnd the output of anthracite coal promises to establish a new high water mark this year above 60,000,000 tons. Cotton goods again average slightly higher in price, the advances being insisted upon by producers on ac count of the raw material, and in no degree attributable to increased anxiety to place contracts on the part of buyers. Conservatism pre vails among buyers of staple wool ens and worsteds. Footwear condi tions continue most prosperous. Failures this week were 213 in the United States, against, lf>2 last year, and 14 in Canada, compared with 20 a year ago. HIRED ASSASSINS, ToMtiinony In tlie Trial of the .Urn Ac ( lined of tlic .Murder of Lawyer Jlar cnm. Jackson, Ky., June 13. —A number of correspondents arrived here Fri day, including magazine writers and artists for i lust rated papers. Pro vost Marshal Longmyer has made no arrests for two nights and two days. Since he closed the "blind tigers" there has been no shooting during the night. The free use of weapons in the carousals around these places led to reports at times of bands of feudists coming into town to attack the jail. The jury had to take recess yesterday earlier than usual because the next witness was unable, to get on the witness stand and it.was evi dent that liquor is still available from some source. The feature of the trial was the drift of evidence toward a conspiracy connecting county officials and tend ing to show that .Tett and White had no motives to conspire, but were simply hired to kill Marcum, who was the attorney for parties contesting the election of county officials. The defense during the forenoon attempt ed to have the case continued on ac count of the absence of witnesses, and again in the afternoon on ac count of the illness of the defendant. In both instances Judge Hedwine or dered the trial to proceed. The prosecution will rest its case today. Soldiers have been commis sioned to secure the presence of sev eral reluctant witnesses whose testi mony will be heard when court re convenes. The part • wanted are. said to be hiding in the woods and some attribute their attitude to fear or intimidation. EXPRESS ROBBERS. Thf Aliened Tlilere* are Arretted at Hmiti.'Ctoll, liid. Huntington.
