"Tho trusts cnn bo damaged by de priving them of the bonoiltH of a pro tective trrlll' only on condition of dnm- nging nil other Hinnller competitors nud nil the wage workers employed in the industry. " President lloosovolt. The democratic euro for the trust dis- cnso is much worse than the ailment. They wnnt the trusts killed by foreign competition , nud they cannot help but but BCO thnt such n dose would kill all other industries in the t > nmo line of nianufncturo na the trusts. A fusion pnpor charges that Ilnvo- iiieyer is becoming Interested in thobeol Eugnr industry to n largo extent. This would rend better if ho hnd not made Mich a bitter fight for Cuban reciprocity nnd made the statement that ho was lighting the beet industry. The people of the west who have boon noting the terrible destruction being wrought by the forest flres nro not find ing fault with these rnins , which are extinguishing the fires if they are doing no other good. They are equally suc cessful in extinguishing fall carnivals. The common people may at times think that they hnvo no interest in the indust ries frequently designated ns trusts , but there are nmny of thorn whoso very bread nnd butter depends on the pros perity of Eomo iudustrinl organization commonly classed under the title of 'trusts. " They cnunot hope to crlpplo thnt industry nud not feel the effects theiueplvcs. Editor Fry is willing to hnvo himself thrust to the front ns a political curios ity and ho gives publicity to his ( lop In about the same vein thnt might bo nt- tempted by n contortionist who hnd no- quired a now font in his double bowknot - knot twlstings. Any comment on his flop Is eagerly given space in the Pie neer. Dave Mercer will undoubtedly receive the support of tunny republicans who opposed lain in the primaries , which is the honorable way for n btrlct partisan to do. The fight wns wnged ruthlessly in the primaries , nnd the strongest won. Meroar Is undonbledly entitled to the party support nt the polls. There can bo little doubt thnt "na Maine goes so goes the country" this year. The people nro not yet rondy to turn down the sort of admiuistrntiou thnt hns brought them the greatest pros perity they ever experienced. The demociats will try hard to lend them nslde on false issues , but they will not be successful. Theivnl strike hns been settled by the city newspapers nt least n dozen times HI.co it started , but with these cold rains and the approach of winter such seitleinentshnve lost any character istic of it joke that they may atone time have pi.s-essed. There should now bo n settlement without nny frills on it. The newest is n carnival trust , which is now being organized. Forty-three carnival companies are entering the combination and it is to bo capitalized nt 1800,000. Herenftoi , it is therefore prolab'o thnt the people cannot see the snnke enter , the Moorish pnlnco , or the man eating tiger without pntrouizlng n trust. i The.republicaiis may have some dis- igreomontn over the tnrilT qnoHtlon but hey have not yut reached the verge of desperation that hns boon attained by the democrats , who are Npllt up over the tar ill' , the money question , trnstH , .mperiallmn . , populism , leaders nnd everything that the party or fractions of the party represent , on which there could bo a disagreement. In Dnwson county the populists would not premitthe democratH to iiamo n can didate for county attorney on n fusion ticket so there nro two tickets in the Hold. The places whore fiiNlon does not jo nro incrensing in number nnd Mr , Urynn does not appear to bo stirring lilniHolf as ho should to prevent the divorce of the fusion parties. The publishers of the MndiHon Star nnd the Neligh Lender showed their en terprise by pnbllnhlng dally editions of their pnpers during the fairs nt their re spective towns. Ordlnnrily these chilly fair editions of weekly papers nro pub lished exclusively for the advertising they will bring , but these publications appear to have been necessitated by the extra rush of news matter consequent to the occasions , A "Wayne democrat expresses surprise at the manner in which McCarthy is cutting Into the campaign nnd gather ing In votes. Ho says ho wasn't nwnro thnt McCarthy was such a campaigner and that ho was becoming so popular with the people. Ho will learn full par ticulars of McCarthy's popularity about the time the votes are counted this tall and It will not bo grntifylng intelligence to any largo number of f nsionists. State Superintendent W. K , Fowler is , beyond question , the most indefat igable worker Who has over boon placed ut the head of Nebraska bchools nnd his ro-olection is practically conceded. Ho is an experienced educator , has right views on educational questions nnd his energy hns had n good oll'ect in all the counties nnd the schools of the stato. Ho is ono of the strong mon 0:1 : the re publican ticket , nnd nn honor to hia party. Ilia plurality will accordingly bo Inrgo. Former Speaker Thomas IJ. Reed hns oomo out of his voluntary seclusion long enough to express his disapproval of any attempt at tariff revision. IIo snys thnt ho believes the people nro opposed to nuy such changes as are contemplated nnd if they nro not they would certainly line up against It very shortly after It has boon tried. They were quickly cured of nny desire for tarliV revision after the democrats had had their own sweet way about it the Inst time rovis- on was attempted. The Nebraska Independent is full of articles nnd comments on money , silver , gold , units and value * . It Is having n merry time with n discarded issue all by itself and no ono is paying It attention worthy of the name. Its long-winded arguments nro unheeded by the opposi tion and it Is doubtful if the faithful nro giving it more than passing notice. The people nro very well satisfied with the present monetary system and if it wns thought for n moment thnt there was nuy opportunity for the Independent policies winning out there would bo a protest thnt would bo heard throughout the length nnd breadth of the land. That question has boon satisfactorily disposed of for some time and the paper is but serving to revive memories of the time when money wns the paramount issue. The Pierce murderer Neigenflnd , wns taken out of the country because of threats of lynching. These thrents , it is alleged , were superinduced by the fact thnt Rush , the Wayne county man who killed his wife nud children sovernl years ngo , was eunbled to escape the ex treme penalty by n plea of insanity , was confined in the Norfolk hospital for the insane for several years nnd wns then given his liberty. Anticipation of n similar plen nnd like success prompted some of the Pierce county people to wish that it might bo prevented in the case of Noigonfind. It is to be regretted that the Wnyiio fiend got off so easily , but it is confidently predicted thnt if the court sitting on the Neigonfiud case is given nu opportunity the brnto will not be given n similar chance for liberty. The Pierce people nre advised to give the law nn opportunity to do justice to the cnso. President Roosevelt is looking for n trust regnlntor nud n trust breaker that will not injure legitimate industries , legitimate wnge-earuers nnd legitimnto prosperity. Ho does not believe in pun ishing people becnuso they nro prosper ous nud if ho did there is no tolling whore or when he would leave off in these days of general prosperity. The president has the right view of the ques tion nnd the people who do not want to see generally prosperous conditions turned into general calamity will stand by him. The republican administration will deal with the trust question in a business-like way nnd it cannot be co erced into nny other kind of notion by the routings of the democrats and a few republicans who have chosen to assist the democrnts to n standing in national politics. The democratic admission thnt free trade with foreign countries would kill the trusts is fatal to the argument pro- M'litod by thnt party that free trade would not prove disastrous to American ndufitrlcs , A trust l admitted to bo a strong combination of capital supposed to bo powerful enough to overcome all competition. If therefore , foreign com petition admitted by taking off tariff duties would bo Hufllclently strong to overcome the trusts , what would free trade do to American industries not strengthened by combination of capital nnd facilities ns nro the trusts ? It must Ijo admitted thnt it would bo worse for Huoh inductrloH thnn for the trusts. And yet this is the powerful , blighting factor : lmttho democrats wish to have enter the country under n free trade policy. And they ask the nssistnnco of the American people in accomplishing their purpose. They will not got it. While Mr. RoHowator attempts to make it appear differently , the people of the state can look upon Congressman Morcor's victory in securing another nomination at the hands of the republi can paity in no light than na n strong endorsement of his popularity in his district. The pro-convention opinion on the part of these who were following the light wns that Mr. Mercer was being pounded into the ground unmercifully by the Bee nnd thnt ho would bo for tunate if ho received the support of his own precinct. The evidence of the con vention Is that the light , was not on the surface. They know that the Bee was putting up a hard fight , but hnd no wny of knowing what Mr. Mercer nnd Ids friends were doing , The result shows that the congressmen nnd his friends werojiu the fight nil the time nnd the victory won Is distinct. Mr. Rosowntor given no definite intimation of his policy during the campaign other than that he will not recommend Mercer to the voters of the district. Whether ho will sup port some other nominee or take no part in the campaign at all Is left for his renders to surmise. President Roosevelt hns taken n busi- noss-llko stand ngniust tariff revis ion for the alleged purpose of destroy ing trusts. As commonly used the tariff revisionists with such proposed revision to bo against the largo corporations , and the president is of the opinion that if changed it should bo to punish those corporations thnt do ill , not merely these tune are prosperous. IIo says that if in any case it is found that a tariff fosters only these corporations that do ill no protectionist would object to a modifi cation of the tariff sufficient to remedy the evil. Ho reminds the people thnt while some of the trust products are without protection , to remove the tariff from the products of trusts that are pro tected would injure all smaller com panies engaged in the same business as well as all the wage earners employed by the industry. The president evi dently recognizes the fnot that this gun , loaded to kill trusts by tariff revision , is likely to go off nt both ends nud injure these who nro howling the loudest for such revision. Those who nssort thnt the circus is productive of no good should ask the of ficers of the French army. Some of thorn , noticing the ease and rapidity with which the great Barunni & Daily circus is handled , thought that it offered valuable suggestions for the rapid nnd economical movement of nu army. The general stnff of the army wns present to watch the proceedings and were con vinced thnt the crack regiments of nrtil- lory could not duplicate thnt achieved by the circus peoplo. In order to test this finding a regiment of artillery was or dered out nud nil portions of it were or dered to entertain nud detrniu. Many faults were pointed out by the general superintendent of the circus and Mr. Bailey. The officers of nny army could undoubtedly bo benefited by a study of movements of Inrgo circuses. The circus people have such things down to as practical and economical n basis ns it is possible to attain. In the transporting , feeding and housing of men and horses , and handling of ponderous parapherna lia the circus men hnvo mndo it a science. Newspaper men generally will be sorry to learn of the death of A. P. Childs of the Carroll Index. A large part of Mr. Ohilds" newspaper experience has been in Nebraska. He wns of the old school. IIo learned his trade in the city in the old fashioned way and when new methods came in vogue ho sought fields in the country where his knowl edge of "the art preservative" would bring patronage. He was a printer be fore the war and laid down his stick to respond to his country's cnll. After the wnr he sought now fields in the west for the exercise of his ability nud settled in Nobraskn. He hns scored mnny sue- cesses in this state and has always been able to find work in some department of his trade. Ho was wnnn-henrted and generous , nud well liked by these who know him. Ho wns trnitied in the printer's art nnd knew thnt ns his voca tion , dying in the harness nt Cnrroll , where ho hns.been giving the people n readable country paper since severing his connection with the Norfolk Times- Tribune. He belonged to a class of newspaper men that is rapidly passing away nnd being snperceded by the newer school , with type-writers , ma chines and other inuovatious and im provements that were not of the old newspaper business. If the young Englishman who has un dertaken tospotri his fortune of $1,500- 000 in 18 months finds that ho is unable to accomplish his purpose he knows where there is someone who will gladly help him out. If the people will but give the qnos- tlon the amount of thonght thnt it re quires , it IH quite likely that n Inrgo majority of thvin will nccept President Roosevelt's wny of dealing with the trust question as the best. Mrs. Hanna , wife of the senator , is something of n strike arbltrationist , herself. She has just settled the differ ences existing between the union and non-union painters of Cleveland. She should bo permitted to try her hand at settling the coal strike. The trouble with Mickey , viewed through democratic eyes , is that ho is too certain of being elected. That would discredit him in the eyes of any good fuslonlst without the necessity of nuy foolish stories of his unpopularity on the part of the fusion papers. American wealth is $100,000,000,000 or $1,250 per /Capita and constantlv in- creasing. lUms proven to bo true that the greatest additions to the wealth of the country has been made during re publican times , and the present admin istration is proving no exception to the rule. An ordinary father and daughter who would show their differences resultant from n family quarrel nt the death chamber of wife and mother would be deservedly censured , and it ia not likely that because Leopold ia king and hi daughter n princess will prevent thc > Belgians from expressing their strong disapproval of their action nnd espec ially thnt of the father v ho drove the dnughterjnwayfrom her mothers , fu neral. National political interest centers in the republican state convention of New xorknow in session , and news from thnt source will bo read with interest by ropubllcnus nnd democrats. It is ex pected that this convention will give an insight into the policies that will be adopted by the party in the untiouul campaign that is approaching , especially in regard to tariff revision. It is also of interest to know whether or not his homo state will endorse in unstinted terms the policies of President Reese velt's administration. The speech of the temporary chairman indicates that it will bo a Roosevelt love feast and that any attempt nt tariff revision will bo frowned upon. The report comes from n reliable quarter in New York that Morgan has decreed that President Roosevelt shall not bo renomiunted nud that if he is Ex. President Cleveland must be the demo cratic nominee. These edicts nro being given out so early in the game that the people will have abundant opportunity to see to it that the money king is de feated in both instances. His money may do wonders in a commercial way but when it conies to dictatingwho * shall nud who shall not be president the people ple should endeavor to have their voices heard. President Roosevelt must have gone the limit in Morgan's estimation when he interfered with the financier' proposed railroad merger. Tariff revisionists state that they do not favor an entire reconstruction of tnriff. They want to take n dnb her nnd n hitch there without specifying what particular rate is to bo altered. Perhaps if they would show just what tariff is proving burdensome to the people others might ngree with them , but there would hnve to be some extra ordinary good reasons before nil the people would fnvor the disturbing of business conditions bymnkingachnnge. During the Into sitting of congress but one tnriff was considered as needing revision nnd thnt wns on sugar. Many of the congressmen and senators thought that the bars might be taken down n little for Cuban sugar nnd they were well along with thnt theory when they were reminded that there wns n grow ing American industry thnt would be dnmnged by this concession to Cuba nnd thnt to the extent of its damngo n grasp ing American monopoly would bo bene fited. The protest , especially from the west , was so strong that the congress came to adjournment and the revision contemplated was not made. If this is the only revision contemplated the re visionists have reason for not specify , ing. If it is not the only one they are perhaps dodging a similar fight on the part of friends of other indus tries by not mentioning the particular items of the tariff that would be revised. It will require some telling arguments to secure the acquiescence of nuy Inrge number of republicans to n revision program. Save money on your harness repairs by having Paul Nordwig do your work.

Filled With Blood-Stained Articles Belonging - longing to Young and His Victim. Wanted for Killing Woman In Flat and Hiding Body In Canal. New York , Sept. 23. The quest for the supposed murderer of Mrs. Anulo Pulitzer wns ended lust night , when news reached police headquarters In thly city that the man claiming himself - self to bo Bert Edwards and who was arrested Sunday night near Derby , Conn. , had admitted that ho was Will- lam Hooper Young after he had been positively Identified by Mac Levy , pro fessor of physical culture , in whose es tablishment In Brooklyn Young wns atone ono time employed , Detectives sent to Derby reported that they were positive the prisoner WILLIAM itoornit YOUNO. was loung.'but the identification wag not positively established until Young was confronted with Levy , who in > Btantly recognized him. While admit ting his identity , it is understood that Young made no admission of guilt. The police announce that Young will bo brought to this city today , his counsel in this city having said thnt he would waive extradition proceedings , which might delay his surrender to the New York authorities for a day or two. After Young had admitted his iden tity he was shown a copy of the ca blegram sent by his father , John W. Young , from Paris , advising him tc surrender nnd declaring that his fanv ily would stand by him. Young read the message and then for the first time gave evidence of strong emotion , Tears rolled down his cheeks and he turned to the wall of his cell while he made a strong effort to suppress hla eoba. Young's Alleged Confession. Young is reported to have made n confession , in which he declared an accomplice really committed the mur der. Young is said to have told Mac Levy that one , Charles Simpson Elllng of Bridgeport , lured the woman to Young's flat , where Young left them for a while. On his return Young says Elllng , who Immediately fled , told him that he had killed the woman by giving her a dose of chloral hyd rate In a glass of beer. Anxious to save his friend , Young says he tried to dismember the body , but his nerve failed him and he subsequently re moved It In a trunk. No such man as Eiling is known In Bridgeport and the police regard the confession as a clumsy effort on the part of Young to shield himself. Elllng Is the name to which Young addressed the trunk to Chicago. Young says that ho expected Elllng to go to Chicago and claim the trunk. The prisoner Is a grandson of Brigham - ham Young and son of a prominent broker of this city. Stiletto Covered With Blood. The articles of feminine apparel found In the trunk brought back from Chicago were positively Identified as belonging to his wife by Joseph Pulit zer , who was deeply affected when shown the little bag of cakes his wife had bought for him when she wont out on Tuesday night , a week ago. The trunk was also positively Identified by Alfred Dolby , the hall boy , as tha one which he hnd helped Young to carry out of his flat. Among the blood stained articles found in the trunk was a sword-shaped stiletto , with a blade e'ght Inches long.

The captain after wards said he was satisfied the Mor mon elders were In no way connected with the crime. Indianapolis Wins Pennant. St. Paul , Sept. 23.
