FREELAND, PA„ JUNE 4, 1900.
Senators by Popular Vote.
From the Wilkesbarre Record.
As was to bo expected, the senate
committee on privileges and elections
has reported adversely on tho house
resolution providing for tho election of
United States sonators by popular vote.
It has novor been difficult to secure the
passage of such resolutions by the
house, but it is doubtful if tho move
ment has any more supporters in the
sonate now than in the past.
The senators, or at least a large
majority of them, are well satisfied with
the prosent system. Many of them
reason, and with good cause, that if
their retention in the sonate depended
on tho direct vote of the people they
might as well pack up their traps and
preparo to move when thoir present
term expires.
With plonty of money and federal pat
ronago at thoir command thoy can
continue to control legislative eaucusoa,
but money and patronage would avail
little when brought to bear directly up
on the scores or hundreds of thousands
of voters.
There are probably net half a dozen
states in the union where the people
would not vote oyerwholmingly in fa
vor of tho election of senators by popu
lar voto, If the opportunity were pre
sented, but that fact counts for loss
than nothing in the United States senate.
The change will not come in many
years, if it ever does. It cannot be
effected without the assent of the
senate and that body will not give its
assent. The senators will not even per
mit the question to come up in the
senate in such away as to compel them
to go upon the record on the question.
The people may as well make up their
minds that for years to come millionaire
politicians and representatives of cor
porations and trusts will continue to
secure seats in the United States senate
by the same corrupt methods and de
bauching of legislatures that has pre
vailed in the past.
Worse than has ever been known in
the past will doubtless be developed in
tho future. The people must grin and
bear it.
Immediate Action Neceeflary.
The main door of that portion of the
borough building planned for the keep
ing of the fire apparatus is the subject
of considerable comment. It is claimed
that its height,h is from eightoen inches
to two feet less than Is necessary to
make a "flying exit" from the building
with a team of horses and a steamer,
which, it is reasonable to suppose, will
some day be part of the fire-fighting
equipment of tho town.
The door is built in arch form, which
lessons its utility and adds nothing to
its appearance. It is not likely that
tho contractor is in any way to blame
for what is apparently an error. He is
following the instructions and plans as
laid down by the architect, but if the
matter is taken hold of now, before the
brick work extends further upward,
a satisfactory agreeinont to alter the
dimensions of tho door can probably be
made.
The adverse comments heard are from
people who have had experience in such
matters, and are worthy of the atten
tion of council this evening. To make
a change, if one is necessary, at a later
day will cost much moro than at present.
Murder Goes Unavenged.
In a few months a horde of oflice
seekers from various parts of Luzerne
county will swoop down upon the
"lower end," and loudly proclaim what
thoy will do for the people of this be
nighted territory if wo will only eloct
thorn to office. Such It has been in the
past, and from that the future is to be
judged. Year after year the lower end
voters have responded to these appeals,
casting their ballots for this man or
that, yet how completely are our needs
forsakon, oven despised, when tho
victor takes his seat.
Murder in broad daylight, with a
hundred clues to work upon, goes un
punished; not even a reward being of
fered for the apprehension of the crim
inals. So far as protection is given to
life and property by Luzerne county,
lower end people might as well reside in
Philadelphia or Chicago, as the Modena
case and its many predecessors clearly
prove.
TARIFFS A\n Tltl'STS.
Dnvlil A. Weill. Said Tlinl (he I.ntler
C ould o.il, Exlat ThroUKit
the Former.
In 1802 the late David A. Wells wrote
a short and vigorous editorial on trusts,
which is as applicable today as then.
"What Is a trust? In the popular
and political sense. It means a combin
ation of the domestic producers of cer
tain commodities to control production
and advance prices. No trust of this
kind, operating on articles for which
there is a possible competitive supply
from other countries, could be main
tained in the United States for a single
month except under one or two condi
tions, either all the competitive pro
ducers throughout the world must be
brought into the 'trust,' or, what is the
same thing, the product of the whole
world must be controlled; or the prod
uct of all the foreign producers must
be shut out from the markets of the
country.
"The first result is not attainable. It
would be obviously impracticable to
induce all the manufacturers of starch,
for example, in all the different coun
tries of Europe, to unite and put the
control of their business in hands of
trustees residing in the United States.
The second is made not only possible,
but effective in the nighest degree, by
the imposition of tariffs, or duties, on
the importation of the articles in which
the trusts are especially interested, so
high as to completely bar them out of
the American market. The duties the
McKinley tariff act provides. (The
Dingley tariff re-enacted or increased
them.)
"It thuß becomes the creator and pre
server of trusts and monopolies, the
like of which cannot and do not exist
under the tariff system of Great Brit
ain, as the starch trust, plate and win
dow glass trust, nail trust, linseed oil
trust, lead trust, cotton bagging trust,
borax trust, ax, saw and scythe trust,
cracker, cake and biscuit trust, rubber
boot and shoe trust, and many others,
all of which, freed from foreign compe
titor are advancing prices to American
consumers to an extent that will afford
them from 50 to 100 per cint more
profit than can be fairly considered as
legitimate, but in which profits their
employes do not participate.
"There are more than 100 trusts in
the United States that could have no
existence except for the high duties
that have been enacted or kept on In
order to maintain and protect them.
How did your representative in the late
congress vote?
"Did he vote for the 9alt trust, pro
tected and alone made capable of exist
ence by a duty of 44 to 85 per cent?
"Did he vote for the window glass
trust, with a protection of from 120
to 135 per cent?
"Did he vote for the linseed oil trust,
with a protection of over 90 per cent?
"Did he vote for the white lead trust,
with a protection of 75 per cent?
"Did he vote for the starch trust,
with a protection of 90 per cent?
"Did he vote for the steel trust, with
a protection running from 40 to 115 per
per cent?
"And so of all the other trusts pro
tected by the tariff, and especially by
the McKinley bill (and the Dingley
bill). Look them up. and If you find
that your representative voted for such
an imposition of taxes as alone per
mits them to exist, make him explain
why he did so."
THE SWORD
Snatched From the Ilnnd of Spain
mid Wielded hy America.
At the Jefferson Day banquet of the
Democratic club, Brooklyn, a letter of
regret from ex-Governor Boies, of
lowa, was read, as follows:
"I am sorry it is impossible for me
to attend the Jefferson banquet.
"The war with Spain was a reafflrm
ance of the principle underlying our
own form of government, that found
expression in a loyal declaration by a
united people that Cuba should of
right be free. No nation on earth ever
championed a nobler cause.
"The end came. The grip of a tyrant
had been broken. Spain was at our
feet, Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines at our disposal. It needed but a
simple demand from us to make them
forever free. But here we halted. A
word that would have made the name
of America Immortal was never Rpoken.
"Greed took the place of charity and
usurped the throne of justice. We
wanted an excuse for exploiting the
Philippines, and made a voluntary do
nation of $20,000,000 of gold to Spain
to find it. What followed? I wish to
God we could blot from the annals of
our race this page of American history,
as it must be written and go shame
faced, as it will, through all the ages
to come.
"The truth is, we have simply chang
ed places with Spain and snatched
from her palsied nand the sword she
could no longer wield and turned it
against a race she had become power
less further to oppress.
"Look at the little island of Porto
Rico, that welcomed us as deliverers
from an oppressors hand. What do
we find? A people denied the most
valuable privileges they enjoyed under
a despotism that furnished our only
excuse for war; a race of vassals with
out a right we are bound to respect—
foreigners, in fact, who cannot enter
our gates without paying tribute on the
products of their toil or take unincum
bered from our hands that which their
needs require—yet our subjects in
name, over whom tho American flag
is to float forever, to be ruled as our
lordly will may determine.
"With unseemly haste a Republican
congress and a Republican president
struck from the r>tatutes of their coun
try a tariff tax framed for revenue,
the only purpose for which taxes can
rightly be laid, and built in its place a
huge wall in front of every port of the
nation, in the shadows of which an in
famous brood of life sucking trusts
have been nursed, until there is scarce
ly a manufactured necessity of life the
market price of which to American
consumers is not fixed hy the greed of
some giant corporation. Wo are at
the threshold of another national cam
paign. The issues upon which it is
to be fought will be made by the Dem
ocratic party. What shall they be?
Anti-Imperialism, anti-monopoly and
death to trusts."

She Has Now Lassoed A St.
Louis Contractor.
BRIGHT YOUNG WOMAN.
She Is a Quick Brander, a Dead Shot
With Rifle or Pistol—Of Striking
Appearance and Wealthy—Always
Ready and Able to Protect Herself.
Miss Kitty Wilkins, the Horse
Queen of Idaho, has made her most
Important "round-up," says a St. Louis
special to the New York World, and
lassoed a husband. He is William
J. ("Billy"') Baker, of the firm of
Best & Baker, brick contractors, of
St. Louis.
The "wild West"' and the "effete
East" are "branded" and "lariated"
all through their romance of hearts.
Miss Wilkins, who rides 'straddle,
and In leather breeches, out among
her herds in Idaho valleys, and counts
her horses by the thousands of heads,
met Mr. Baker in St. Louis last year.
She came here with carloads of
Western-bred horseflesh, and Bold
3,000 In one consignment to tho Na
tional Stock Yards.
Many young mon of the swagger set
got tangled in Miss Wilkins' train.
The fair young horse woman gave
several swagger suppers at the Lin
dell Hotel. Mr. Baker was among the
guests.
Last fall Miss Wilkins made an
other trip to the city, and renewed
her former acquaintance list. Among
the most devoted of her admirers was
Mr. Baker. The same round of late
suppers, theatre parties and princely
pleasure spoke eloquently of tho horse
queen's splendor in her far Western
home.
On more than one occasion when
an overconfident young man presumed
upon Miss Wilkins' wild Western
freedom of spirit, he was checked by
the glitter of her clear gray eyes and
the scorn of her curling scarlet lips,
or, if needed, by the iron grip of her
fist clinched tightly about the inevita
ble riding whip poised above her
shapely head.
None of Baker's friends was taken
Into his confidence until after the dis
solving of the partnership of Best &
Baker.
Baker then announced that he
would return with his bride in about
four months, when they would bring
a large consignment of horses. He
promised several of his friends, who
were Miss Wllklnß' erstwhile guests
in St. Louts, that they should have
the pick of the lot.
Miss Wilkins, besides being a fear
less rider and expert caster of the
lasso, and a quick brander, Is a dead
shot with rifle and pistol. She is a
goddess of the saddle, a superb type
of womanhood, with muscles trained
from outdoor life since early child
hood.
She is decidedly manly in her ap
pearance, affecting vests, collarß and
four-ln-hands and mannish topcoats.
The most striking point of her statu
esque ensemble is a broad sombrero,
which she wears jauntily upon a mass
of hair like burnished bronze.
While In St. Louis she gave several
exhibitions of her skill In the saddle
and in throwing the lariat. Those
who were privileged to see her as she
appears upon the rolling landscape of
her own broad acres went Into ecs
tacles over the poetry of motion In
her Bwlng of the colling lasso and the
grace of her mount.
In all things Miss Wilkins proved
herself very much of a woman while
there, but one who was always ready
and able to protect herself without a
chaperon. Much has been written in
the East and on the Pacific coast
about her wealth, which conservative
estimates place at nearly $1,000,000.
Longest Tunnel in the World.
The Simplon tunnel, beginning near
the little town of Brig, in Switzerland,
and ending near Isella Italy, will be
12 miles long, and will cost $13,413,-
500.
Work Is in progress at both ends,
and the contract calls for its com
pletion in five and a half years.
When finished the new tunnel will
accomplish a saving of 43% miles in
the railway journey from Paris to
Millan over the Mt. Cenls or St. Goth
ard tunnels.
Phoenician women, who were proud
of their hair, have been ordered by
the priests to offer It up on the altars
dedicated to Venus after the death
of Adonis, obeyed, but with murmur
ing. Soon they were consoled by a
Greek merchant, who told them that
he would give them the means of hid
Ing their bald pates under luxurlan
curls. In his chariot he had hundred
of wigs of all colors.

TORTURED IN THIBET.
Landor's Fearful Experience In the
Centre of Asia.
Arthur Henry Savage Landor. the
great Thlbetlan explorer now in this
country, has excited general interest
in his remarkable attempt to get to
the sacred city of Lhassa. Mr. Landor
is a grandson of the famous poet and
author, Walter Savage Landor. The
account of his attempt to reach Lhas
sa the capital of Thibet, and the
stronghold of Lamaistic Buddhism,
where no white man has ever been, is
deeply interesting.
A non-Buddhist is forbidden under
penalty of torture and death to enter
Lhassa. It is the most mysterious
city in the world. Thibet is ruled by
the Grand Lama, a priest of the high
est orders. Some of the tales told
by the explorers are thrilling in the
extreme. There is much in them to
excite skepticism among those who
have neither had first-hand acquaint
ance with the Thibetans nor suffered
similar hardships. They have, how
ever been fully investigated by per
sons appointed for that purpose, and
while these have in a great measure
been obliged to depend for informa
tion on the statements of the traveler
himself, the confirmatory evidence is
overwhelming.
Mr. Landor's objective was Lhassa.
He reached India in April, 1897, and
Garbyang toward the end of the fol
lowing May. He had with him as at
tendants a native following of thirty
men. What he desired to do was to
enter Thibet by the Lippu Lek Pass,
but the Jong Pen, of Taklakot, pre
vented him, and he was obliged to
abandon the ordinary trade route of
the country and attempt to go through
the Lumpia Pass, which is at an alti
tude of 18,150 feet.
His guides, according to all ac
counts, were a bad lot, and with dis
missals and desertions their number
was presently reduced to two. Chan
don Sing and Manslng. With these
two and two yaks Mr. Landor crossed
the Mariam La Pass, and one of the
animals went down in the Mo Tsambo
River with the various provisions
and personal chattels which it carried.
Up to this time Landor doggedly kept
aloof from the Inhabitants, but a hun
gry man doesn't wait on ceremony,
and finally he was obliged to go to the
village of Toxem in search of food.
Here on August 20, while engaged in
bartering for fresi animals and sup
plies he and his companions were
overpowered and bound.
Bound limbs and body with ropes,
he was knocked three times to the
ground. The natives stamped and
trampled upon him with their heavy
boots. With his two guides he was
dragged by the rope around his neck
to a nearby camp, where a number of
soldiers surounded him. He was taken
to a tribunal composed of a number
high Lamas, who ordered him to
kneel. He refused, and they castigat
ed him with knotted and leaded leath
er thongs. They they took his note
book and maps and demanded to
know why he had made sketches of
the holy land.
Following a night's confinement in
a loathsome and vermin-infested tent,
the explorer was brought forth by a
number of soldiers What happened
after that Mr. Landor tells In his own
graphic style as follows:
" 'Oh,' shouted he, striking me on
the Bhoulder with his heavy hand, the
usual way of addressing people in Thi
bet. 'Oh,' repeated he again, 'before
the sun goes down to-day you will be
flogged; they will break both your
legs; they will burn out your eyes and
will cut off your head. He accom
panied each sentence with a gesture,
well Illustrating his words. I roared
with laughter. I could but think that
this merely said to intimidate me,
though the man seemed quite in earn
est, and this made me laugh all the
more."
Finally, after such suffering as led
him to believe that they were in earn
est. he was calmly informed that he
was to be beheaded immediately. The
natives secured him to a prism-shaped
log on the ground, his legs as wide
apart as they could be stretched, and
a man gripping him by the hair. Then
the explorer was subjected to further
tortures.
"The Pombo raised his arm and
placed a red-hot iron bar parallel to
and about an inch or two from my
eyeball," Mr. Landor sayß, "and all
but touching my nose. Instinctively
I kept my eyes tightly closed, but the
heat was so Intense that it seemed as
If my eyes, the left one especially,
were being desiccated and my nose
scorched. Though the time seemed
Interminable, I do not think that the
heated bar was before my eyes ac
tually more than thirty seconds or so.
Yet it was quite long enough, for
when I lifted my aching eyelids 1 saw
everything as in a red mist. My left
eye was frightfully painful, and every
few seconds It seemed as if something
in front of it obscured its vision. With
the right eye I could still see fairly
well, except that everything, as I
have said, looked red Instead of its
usual color."
"The executioner, now close to
explorer, "held the sword with his
nervous hands lifting It high above
his shoulder. He then brought it
down to my neck, which he touched
with the blade, to measure the dis
tance as it were, for a clean, effective
stroke Then, drawing back a Btep, he
quickly raised the sword again and
struck a blow at me with all his
might. The sword passed disagreeably
close to my neck, but did not touch me.
Apparently against his will, the exe
cutioner went through the same kind
of performance on the other side of
my head. This time the blade passed
so near that the point cannot have
been more than half an inch or so
from my neck."
There had been, it appears, no real
Intention to execute him, and follow
ing a night of tortures on a diaboli
cally contrived rack, he was placed
on a pony's back and, with the Thi
betan guard, sent back to the frontier.
The Rev. Harkus Wilson, by whose
Intervention Landor and his two ser
vants were saved afterward Investi
gated the story at the request of the
Indian government. He reported that
the main facts are true.
It is related that, while preaching
from his text, "He glveth His beloved
sleep," a Toledo minister stopped in
the middle of his sermon, gazed upon
his sleeping audience and said.
"Brethren, it is hard to realize that
wondrous, unbounded love the Lord
appears to have for a good portion of
this congregation.
lEHlfMli
Work and Ways of A Most
Peculiar Man.
HE EARNS A BIG INCOME
The Golden Profession of "Great I Am"
—Gathering in Coin in a Rocky
Mountain City—He Claims to Do
Miracles and Has Many Patrons.
The "Rev." Thomas J. Shelton, the
"Great I Am," the "Christian Healer"
and master of "Vibration," has turned
up in Denver, Colorado, and is earning
money at his trade.
He had not ben heard from since
he left Little Rock, Ark., several years
ago. Now, as confident and buoyant
as ever, says the New York World, he
Is gathering in the coin in the Rocky
Mountain city.
J In 1887 Shelton appeared in Little
Rock, Ark., as a Christian minister.
His church was a ramshackle shed
and the congregation few in numbers.
He started a revival on remarkable
lines, and Inside of a year had a fine
stone edifice and a fashionable build
ing. Then dlssention arose. It was
said he drank.
"I do," he acknowledged calmly. "I
am a dipsomaniac. I can't help it."
Instead of losing his pulpit, the eld
ers placed a Jug In the vestry of the
church, where he could take a drink
before and after services. One day ho
appeared in the pulpit incoherent.
That split up the church, but many
stuck to him. Then once he acknowl
edged In a sermon that he loved an
other man's wife. Such was his In
dividuality that he was forgiven. Af
ter that he started his "vibration"
scheme and began to publish The
Chrlstaln.
Shelton's theory, as he claims, is:
That from his ego, or Inner self, for
the small sum of (1, he will send out a
vibration for you that will enable you
to do anything—make a hit in Wall
street, cure any disease, cure a dog
of the mange, bring back false lovers,
make hens lay, or do anything else
imaginable. Incidentally, he makes
about $50,000 a year out of his trades.
As he expresses it: "God is a uni
versal principle. I am the person of
thnt principle. Each Individual is the
person of the individual principle, and
his power consists in the recognition
of his personality. As long as you be
lieve God is a person outside of your
self you are dependent on this other
person. When you recognize that you
are the person of this Individual you
become independent. The 'I Am' is
the personal name of the Dicty. The
God, the universal principle, is not
named Jesus or Josh, but the 'I Am
that I Am.'
"I believe that individually I am as
sociated with all the power that there
Is In the world. If the 'I Am' should
suddenly cense to use me as a means
to work through, it would make no
difference to me. I have plenty of
money to live on, and I have Just in
vested SIO,OOO in a mine. If it were
not that I have this work of the 'I
Am' to carry on, I would be Just a
plain, bald-headed gold-bug Republi
can.
"I am the most practical of men.
There is nothing of the crank about
me. I believe the almighty dollar Is
the shadow of Almighty God. When
I brought my paper, the Christian, to
Denver, and asked for bids from print
ers for getting it out, I took the low
est bidder.
"It Is not to women alone, but to
men as well. I have many men
(Thomas J. Shelton.)
friends, one of whom is seventy-five
years old, and 1 call him 'sweetheart.'
There are men who address me in the
same terms of endearment. You know,
it is pleasant to all of us to have lov
ing and affectionate words employed
In our intercourse with each other. It
is simply in this way that I use these
terms.
"How do I give people treatments?
Well, Igo into the silence. If I am to
treat for poverty, I send vibration of
success. I have patients in Wall
street who pay me from $25 to SSO
a month. Once I built a house worth
$5,000 when I didn't have five cents
to begin with. I saw the whole thing
as in a picture, and knew that was the
thing jto do —and it was."
Shelton claims to have vibrated
for E. Burd Grubb, of New Jersey, ex-
Minlster to Spain, who lost his fortune
so successfully that the fortune came
back.
He says he receives about 2,000 let
ters a month, each containing sl. In
his answers he always addresses the
inquirer as "sweetheart," and some of
the answers to young women are
lurid.
"Carrie, my darling," he wrote to
one young woman. "I believe I have
more sweethearts than any other man
on earth. "I began my awakening by
loving a woman I should not. and now
I love all women—black white, red,
yellow and mixed."
