TKC8T8 AND THE WOHKINO PEOPLE We clip tbe email and agile Press tbe following deep thought: The truMe proper were destroyed by the Republican party's Sherman law and its re-enactment in state legislatures. Not one of them exints in the country today.

Of course, both parties assail monopolies in their platforms, but there is not a monopoly in tbe land. We pornmentl tbeee observations to every voter in the country. They are printed na the truth and with the intention of influent-inn votes. The readers of the Prss are expected to believe that "not a trust exists in the country Lot who believed St vote the Republican tic ket. If their pood sense does not convince them of its faiity argument cannot.

And "there is not a monopoly in the land." How is it possible for tbe Press to overlook the pie monopoly, the Toothpick monopoly, or tbe Lunch Wagon monopoly? We will any nothing of the allegro" Httindard oil, or euaqr. or beef or coal, or Hour, or the thousand nnd one other monopolies which "do not exist." We quote further: No one who has money with whiota to "start in business" need "fear the corporations." Their stocks nre nil on tbe market, and hundreds of thousands of Americana have "started in business" by buyine them. Thero are 11.000 stonlc-holiWs of the American Huaar company find 30.000 of the Pennsylvania railroad. As a matter of fact, the "working class baa been most friendly to trusts. Of course any man with money may buy the etock of any corporation on the market.

But let one of the voters to whom our wnpirish friend oarols this ji-ound lay attempt to'compete" with any one of these monopolies which "do not exist." lie will find himself broken up, smitten bip and thigh, driven to the wall and ruined. How many worklnernon do you sun-pose are amons the 11,000 stockholders of the American sugar monopoly, the Btock of which was driven down by nave-meyer from 180 to 05, through a well arranged "war?" now many railroad laborers are amontr the .10,000 Pennsylvania shareholders? The only way in which a workinsman could acquire stock in either of these companies would be to save about 10 cents a day out of .1.25 per day salary. At tbe end of four years he might possibly buy one share. You may buy their chares and plaoe yourself at their mercy, but compete with them successfully not if you were twice a millionaire. Most remarkable among these misrepresentations is the one which aeserts that the trusts were "destroyed by the Republican Serman law." Then tbe trusts have simply died of fright, for there has bean no pretence of enforcing the Sherman law against monopolies since the day of its passage.

No trusts? No monopolies? The Sherman law enforced? Workingmen friendly to trusts? Labor friendly to tyranny and oppression? Thrice country! New York Journal.

A mass meeting had been called at West Side Turner hall, at which speeches were to be made by Mrs.

Parsons and others on the topic "The Execution of the King of Italy." The call concluded "workmen come in crowds and show that the feeling of brotherhood is strong among you." Mrs. Parsons was on her way to the hall, but finding it had been closed by the police she stepped into a shaded doorway to rest. Soon a crowd formed and a police officer, pushing through the throng, caught a giirnp.se of Mrs. Parsons. Thinking she was nuikiug an anarchistic speech he endeavored to disperse the crowd.

II in efforts were in vain and the officer sent in a call for reinforcements. Additional officers arrived and imnie-diiilely a general fight was precipitated. Fi.sts and clubs were used mid the officers, finding themselves being worsted, sent in a riot call. The number of police was increased to 45 nrul they rushed into the throng. Mrs.

Parsons was seized. It is claimed she resisted arrest and her associates fought for her. Bricks were thrown, clubs were wielded anil a fierce struggle ensued before the crowd was finally dispersed. Clement Pfuetzner, one of those arrested, was badly cut in the hand. A number of children in the crowd were knocked down in the melee and trampled iipon, but none, were injured seriously.

In all 25 persons were badly beaten and bruised. After the affray numerous small cards were found on the street and in the vicinity containing two verses of poetry, urging the workingman to be free, to throw off the yoke of bondage and fight for liberty and lay down their lives if necessary to overthrow the government and attain freedom. The card bore the heading: "Workingmen Emancipate Yourselves. The xolice assert that these cards were printed in San Francisco and were received here by the anarchists several days ago and have been secretly distributed. A large quantity of literature, advocating anarchy and a book containing the names and addresses of several hundred anarchist sympathizers were secured by the police.

The American and British forces began the advance on Pekin last Thursday, according to a dispatch dated Aug-ust 2 from Tien Tsin to the Daily Express. "The main body of the allies," continues the correspondent, "marched July 30.

Gen. Chaffee was delayed by difficulties of disembarkation. Gen. Dorward (the British commander) had no such obstacles and his delay is inexplica ble. The other foreign troops are now half way to Lofa.

The force in- ciuucs (Japanese uuuer ucu. Yamachuehi and 10.000 Russians. The- British force totals 9,000 and the other foreign troops are 7,000. We are weak in artillery. On August 1 a strong force of Chinese from the native city attacked Tien Tsin.

By a series of brilliant charges our troops drove the enemy from their positions. The native city is still defiant, and the allies are unwilling to march troops through its streets, as this would mean an immense slaughter. When the Chinese saw so farge a body of troops marching westward, they apparently believed they would have an easy victory over those who were left." A message to the same papers from a correspondent in Pekin, dated July 22, says: "The women have borne all the horrors with marvelous fortitude, and even with cheerfulness. The Chinese wanted peace when the arsenals at Tien Tsin were captured, and the negotiations bade fair to be successful. Unfortunately, Li Ping Heng and Kang Yu arrived here at the critical moment and overthrew the peace party.

Food has been short, but not terribly so, though we have had to be very careful." A Shanghai dispatch, dated August 4, says: "The first overt attack upon foreigners occurred this morning. Three Chinese, supposed to be soldiers in disguise, fired at a well known English resident, while he was lying asleep on the veranda of his house. He had a narrow escape. From various sources come statements that a large body of boxers some estimating them at 3,000 is gathering south of Tien Tsin and threatening- The Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Mail announcesthe reception of an imperial edict dated August 2, ordering Gen. Yung Lu to select high military and civil dignitaries, tog-ether with a sufficient number of picked troops to escort "the foreign ministers to Tien Tsin as soon as they decided to leave Pekin.

By the terms of the edict Gen Yung Lu will be held personally responsible for their safety and he is given full authority to deal summarily with those opposing the peaceful passage of the escort. A dispatch to the Morning Post from Che Foo, dated July 30, says: "The Russains at Tien Tsin refuse to allow the Americans to put up telephone wires on the railroad poles and they claim the railroad, which English engineers are ready to work The situation is critical. The river of railroad sleepers. Hundreds o1 dead bodies of Chinese, some decapi tated, are floating in the stream." Four missionaries according Shanghai advices, dated Saturday-have been murdered near Hankow. Report of LI Hans; Chang's Suicide.

Washington, Aug. 6. The repor-from Shanghai of the suicide of Hung Chang is wholly discredited ii official circles here and no informa tion was received regarding: it las: night, either by the government or the Chinese legation. There seemt to be no reason known to the official why the great Chinese diplomatisi should take his own life, which ir their minds, would be a most de plorable event. His death would Ik regarded as a severe loss to China in the present perturbed condition of affairs existing there.

One of the officials suggested the possibility that he has suffered an attack of apoplexy or other sudden illness incident to old age, but confidence was expressed that the report of his suicide was untrue. Later a dispatch from Shanghai said Li Hung Chang had not suicided, but was in a very despondent state. May Communicate with over omenta.

That ray of light has penetrated many darkened chambers where women moaned in misery, and has guided them out to health and happiness.

"Favorite Prescription" is not a tonic, not a palliative, but a positive cure for the diseases which are peculiar to women. It gives vigor and vitality. It banishes nervousness, headache, and all the aches which come from a diseased condition of womanly organs. A temperance medicine, it contains neither alcohol nor narcotics. I was troubled for three years with ulceration and female weakness and my doctor gave me but little relief," writes Mrs.

Lulu Hunter, of AUentoo, St. Iouis Mo. "I saw an advertisement in the paper of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I began the use of it about a year ago.

I took five bottles of it, and one bottle of Golden Medical and my health is better now than it was for years. I have also recommended these medicines to some of my friends, who suffered from female weakness, and good results have followed." MAKE5 WEAK WlOMEN -AMP SICK WOMEN WELL. THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR.

Towne will be withdrawn from the populist national ticket about August 15. At that time the populist national committee will accept his resignation and replace him with Adlai E. Stevenson as the nominee of the populist party for vice president. The source from which the announcement is received is such as to make it impossible to question its accuracy. Certain considerations of policy, which cannot now be made public, are responsible for the retention of Mr.

Towne on the ticket until the date named. The decision that he should withdraw was arrived at some weeks ago. During the campaign Mr. Towne is to be utilized as a campaign orator to whom will be assigned the most desirable He will speak only in large cities and in close districts.
