WALL SI REET COIN IS COMING
Pnbllc Disgust Willi Ibe Do-Nothing
Record of tbe Last Congress is
Hard to Overcome
- By John E. Lathrop.
CHICAGO, Sept. 10. "Hard tight
to win; apathy is chief trouble."
These headlines were printed in
the Chicago Record-Herald over an
article by Walter Wellman, who
Bays:
"There Is nothing to be gained hy
trying to deceive ourselves by stick
Ir.g our heads in the sand and flay
ing that everything is all right."
Mt. Wellman is a republican news
paper correspondent of prominence,
the Record-Herald is a republican
paper ot distinction.
I have traveled 12 states this sum
mer and everywhere is seeming ap
athy. Today they seem to care little
about the situation.
I say "seem"to care; as a matter
of fact, they do care, care much; they
are possessed of n spirit of unrest,
dissatisfaction with existing cond!
Hons. Judged by perfunctory stand
ards brass band parades, meetings
whereat the hitherto well-fooled vo'
er yells his throat raw there Is
apathy. But anyone who can dis
cern deeper than those superficial
signs can see that there is deep con
cern for the outcome of the cam
paign. When the republican leaders call
for the party to "holler" for the
grand old party, the response Is not
flattering to the prospects of that
grand old party.
Wall Street Coin for G. O. P.
Careful inquiry Into the conditions
at both national headquarters shows
that the reported shortage of funds
at the republican committee's ollices
Is untrue; that is, compared with the
supply at the democratic headquar
ters, the republicans have plenty.
Of course, there Isn't $10,000,000
in the hands of the republicans, as
there was in 1896; but the campaign
nlans already announced prove that
the republican committee has vastly
more money than the democrats, ana
this condition will be permanent un
til November.
Treasurer Sheldon of the repub
lican national committee is a Wall
street man: his ollices are at No. 3
Wall street; he Is a member of the
directorates of several immense con
cerns. The Wall street Interests
have accepted Judge Taft as thel
choice of the two candidates. Wher
Wall street wants anything of a poll
tlcal nature, Wall street proceeds tc
attempt to buy it. That's Wall
streets' conception of the proper
method whereby to get political
things.
Agreeable to this theory. Wall
street is "mingling up" Its dollars
not with the prodigality of the 1890
ramnaign. but, compared witn tne re
sources of the democrats, Wall street
Is giving liberally.
Then there Is the coterie of high
ly protected trusts; they are anxious
that tbe "menus oi protection re
vise the tariff. And they are "com
ing through" aulte nicely. They
were not enamored ot Judge Taft be
fore the Chicago convention: bu
thev are now seeking to reestablish
the republican party In power, on the
theory that that organization per
mitted the tariff abuses (they, of
course, refer to them as benefits' to
grow to their existing magnitude,
and they have a better prospect of
retaining all or a major part of those
benefits (abuses) If the dominant
party retain the reins of government.
Republican Camps Divided.
Out of what seemed a prospect
foi division of forces, the democrats
bave wrought a united organization
and that same union is really what
Is frightening the republican manag
ers. . Only In a few localities the
democrats are split; In many places

tissues and sun-ounding flesh and keep the sore in a state of inflammation
and disease. Whether these impurities in the blood are the result of some
debilitating sickness, an old taint from a former disease, or whether it is
hereditary bad blood, there is but one way to cure sores and ulcers, and that
is to purify the blood. Washes, salves, lotions, etc.. are often beneficial
because of their cleansing, antiseptic
surface can reach the blood, where

fill in with healthy tissue by supplying it with pure, rich blood. Book
on Sores and Ulcers and any medical
the republicans are torn Into tat-
Ji a.
In New York the republican or
I ganlzatlon Is against Hughes, against
him with force and argument. The
masses are for him, and some of the
politicians who have not been per
sona grata at the headquarters of the
organization. No secret is made of
this, and with the democracy of that
state united, the chances of New
York going republican are conceded
to be rather bright, and this conces
sion is by republicans as well as by
democrats.
n Ohio the Taft-Foraker fued re
mains unsettled, and the republican
situation Is that if Taft really
makes up with Foraker the reform
er element of that state will knife
him; If Taft continues to stand on
the ground that Foraker must be
eliminated, the Foraker people will
savagely cut the republican candi
date. In Illinois the Deneep and Yates
forces fought a primnry campaign
marked with such bitterness as sel
dom has been witnessed. That bit
terness remains, now that Deneen
has been nominated for governor. Il
linois democrats are enthusiastlcally
united, in both state and national
campaigns.
n Minnesota the republicans have
not got over the acrid differences
which twice elected John A. Johnson
the democratic governor.- The
democrats, on the other hand, were
united so closely as to force John
son to accept another nomination,
and every vote in the Btate conven
tion was given to lilm.
In Indiana the governor, a repub
lican, called a special session of the
legislature to consider a local op
tion law. Most of the republican poli
ticians are against that Inw, and
light of bitterness has developed. Al
so there Ib the lukewarmness of the
Fairbanks forces, who do not care
much whether or not Taft Is elected.
n Wisconsin Senator Stephenson
fought the divided La Follette forces
and won a primary nomination for
reelection. Two candidates opposed
him .each claiming La Follette s sup
port.
In Kansas Senator Long was de
feated by Brlstow in a contest which
wrought the republican party there
into a state of upheaval, and to cap
the climax, the republican state con
notion indorsed tie guarantee cf
lipnk deiioslts a staggering body
blow at the national ticket of Taft
md Sherman and objected to by the
republican leaders i"i.st vigorously
"We had to, if we hrped to be l i
the November race at all," w.is Ihe

strictures against ihem by tha ie-
publican lenders.
Ilryuiiic Itcpiihllrn.is to Itlnni.'.
It is a confessed fact that Na
lonnl Chairman Hitchcock has done
nothing so far but attempt to settle
these quarrels . He has travelled
from state to state, sought to har
monize differences mid has failed In
l-i-actically all Instances
it. Is recognized that the undor
iyliif cause for these quarrels not
the usual political ,'ealousies- -U Is
the spirit of unrest nnd dissatisfac
tion at the do-nothing record of the
republican majoritv which has ci-t'-rfd

Th' progressive republicans art
watching to Bee whether or not j-kUc
Talt Is sufficiently progressive, and
the reactionaries nr.? waiting o

means deaf to the entreaties of the
people for relief.
The celerity with which the Wall
street Interests came to the assist
ance of the national republican com
mittee gave the progressive pain"!.
They realize that the march must be
forward, not backward. Ana mey
seem to be determined not to be
caught by any party catchword this
year.
In the language of the street, "It's
the goods this time" which those pro
gressive republicans are demanding
md their seeming apatny in not
rushing to the call for brass band

Seattle Mystified by Suicide of

MARRIED ONLY SIX MONTHS
Frenchman Who Shot Capt. Dreyfus
Set-Free Husband of Faithless
Wife on Callows '
Special to the Evening Review.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Sept. 11. Mrs.
John Davis, a bride of six months,
formerly Marliotta Myers, one of
the most beautiful women on the
coast, drank carbolic acid in the an
nex of the Washington Hotel last
night and died despite the efforts of
five physicians to save her life. The
suicide has created a tremendouk
sensation in society circles here.
Mrs. Davis was married in San
Francisco and then went abroad with
her husband, who is a real estate
capitalist. The midden illness of her
mother, however, called her back to
Seattle. While the cause of her sui
cide is unknown, the theory is ad
vanced that it was due to worry over
her mother's serious condition.

Captain Alfred Dreyfus, following

today acquitted of the charge of
attempted murder. In view of the
public prosecutor's strong argument
for conviction and the court's rulings
against the defendant, the verdict
was a great surprise.
Gregorl's defense was that he shot
not at Dreyfus, but at Dreyfusism.

DOWNPOVK AT HUNTIXJTOX.
HUNTINGTON, Or.. Sept. 10.
After a gentle downpour of rain Hun
tington was visited by a hailstorm
yesterday afternoon. Water poured
down the streets to a depth of four
feet, lawns were inundated and cov
ered with debris and mud, and all
the cellars on Front street and the
residence cellars in the lower part
of town were flooded.
The Huntington Mercantile Com
pany Is the heaviest loser. It's base
ment was used as a storehouse and
several hundred dollars worth of
goods were ruined. Passenger train
No. 5 was held several hours by a
washout near Durkee, one half mile
of track being washed out. A wall
of water six feet high came rushing
down Burnt river, which has been
dry for the past two months. The
city ditch around the foothills used
to carry off the surplus water, was
broken in several places, causing
most of the damage In the city.

COWS HKTTKK THAN WHF.AT.
When 12 good cows pay as much
as 1 GO acres of the famous Palouse
country land, tt is time for the farm
ers of this vicinity to take heed of
the dairy industry. J. D. Carson, the
well known dairyman, who resides
three miles north of Pullman, re
ports that ten milk cows and two
young heifers brought lu $935 in
less than a year. A neighbor of his
who furms only wheat estimates that
his farm will bring him but little
over $1000 for the year. Besides the
Income from the cows Mr. Carson
has nearly $1000 worth of baled tim
othy hay to turn off, and with a few
good colts, calves and other products,
brings his gross receipts from 160
acres of land well up to $2500 or
$3000 as against the $1000 brought
in by wheat raising.
Mr. Carson has 16 acres of corn,
part of which will go to fill his 75
ton silo and the remainder to fatten
a drove of hogs. His barn is built
with concrete gutters and well ar
ranged. However, he plans to build
a dairy barn within the coming year
and another large silo. The milk
house is supplied with running wa
ter which keeps the cream sweet and
coot. No cream Is sold, but is mado
into a fine grade of butter by Mrs.
Carson, who is known the country
around for her skill. They receive
from 28 to 35 cents a pound for their
product against the 25 cents received
by those who do not have their repu
tation. At preseut six cows are be
ing milked, but more are coming
fresh until the number will reach
about 12 for the winter milking.
They are of the Jersey breed and
with plenty of ensilage, give great
amounts of butter producing milk.
With the exception of a few acres
for raising corn, next years every
acre of Mr. Carson's farm will bo
seeded to grnsses and forage plants.
The necesity of plowing the land of
ten Is obviated and the time spent at
that work can be given to something
else about the farm. Mr. Carson es
timates that the cost of feeding cows
ensilage is very low and what is re
ceived from them with this feed 1b
very nearly clear profit after a labor
is deducted. Mr. Carson says that
the demand for their butter Is so
great that he is convinced that there
is room in the vicinity of Pullman
for many more good butterinnkers,
and that all could receive the good
prices that he has enjoyed for the
several years that they have market
ed their product. Pullman (Wash.)

If there was nothing going to

supporting a family of live persons
and on an average of about two hired
