So Severely Felt, Caused by the Greed of the Trusts and Combinations No Hope of Relief From Republican Party. The wonderful material prosperity ut part of the people of the United States and the lack of it with the greater number is an anomaly that is startling and naturally leads to investigation to disc-over the cause. To Judge by the numerous strikes that are In progress there must be a large percentage of workingmen that -lo not consider their condition pros perous. Before a utrike is decided upor r ordered a majority of those btrikicg evidently consider their cir cumstances so unfortunate that they are willing to make themselves and their families more uncomfortable for a time, in order that in the end they may be prosperous, or at all events that their case may be bettered. It is out of all reason that all these work ir.gmen who have voluntarily sur rendered their wages for an indefinite period would have done so if their condition was prosperous. If the or dinary citizen is living comfortably and laying up a bit for a rainy day he is enjoying prosperity. If he and his family are obliged to be satisfied with the bare necessities of life and then can hardly make both ends meet, one can hardly blame him for strik ing, for his predicament short of star vation, could hardly be worse. That is the plight of a vast number of hard working and industrious citizens to day. Wages are about 15 per cent higher thmi in 1S9l, but the cost of living has advanced nearly 40 per cent. So the margin, if there was any, in 1899 is wiped out and it la only by reducing expenditures that the weekly or monthly bills can be paid. Every citi zen who is receiving no more emolu ment now than in 1899 is in the same fix as the workingman who is striking. It is only by cutting off all luxuries and pleasures and restricting expen ditures to absolute necessities that those with the restricted Incomes are able to make both ends meet. The plutocratic press is very gen erally denouncing the workingmen for demanding more wages and are much exercised lest this general demand to participate in the prosperity will bring about conditions that will re strict and soon overthrow It One of these newspapers, the Journal of Commerce and Commercial Bulletin of New York admits that the organi zation of capital and its greed is the chief source of the trouble, that the rich are growing richer and the poor poorer, but it joins organized labor with the trusts as being equally re sponsible when it says: "It is a. broad fact In this era of prosperity that its benefits are en joyed In but a moderate measure, if at all, by a large majority of the peo ple. The small capitalist in business. he manufacturer and trader in a mod est way, the great mass of clerks and rubers . Insalo r r-i--."" ..-- T Ul.SUlfu 1 a." Iiiey.ntltl "iiiutL be paid"," or allowed to make enough, to be able to pay the exorbitant trust prices. If the present prosperity will not stand that strain, it is a delusion and a snare for all but the favored ones. If President Roosevelt could throw off the shackles that the cunning of the protected trusts have now bound him with and aid instead of hinder the re form element of his party, the tariff schedules that protect the combines could be revised and the exorbitant prices that cow prevail would be re duced forthwith. As it is. the voters who are being ground between the millstones must await their oppor tunity to bring about reform until the election of another congress in 1904. There is no hope from the Republi can party: it is controlled by the monopolists. The Holy Tariff. There are strong indications that the ebb tide has started in the iron and steel market, for the first time since the formation of the Steel Trust, and the price of steel ingots have been reduced by the independent compa nies. The price of iron has been a trifle lower for some weeks. The reason for the decline is probably the large importations of iron and steel,' which amounted last month to more than 160,000 tons. These importations are the more remarkable when it is considered that about 40 per cent dnty and the heavy freight charges have been added to the price that these im ports sell for and shows the enormous profits that the American manufactur ers are making out of the American people. And yet the Republican lead ers say the tariff must not be re formed. Smothering Reform. The attempt to buy off Gov. Cum mins of Iowa from forcing his idea of reforming the tariff and thus prevent it from giving shelter to the trusts, by offering him that barren office, the vice presidentship, can hardly be true, though some of the Republican news papers are publishing the story. The snly man who could have made such a deal with the governor would be President Roosevelt and it is placing loo low an estimate on what he would f escend to for the sake of insuring his Dwn nomination and election. The voners of Iowa who are wide awake on the tariff and trust issues would re taliate upon any politician who would thus attempt to deceive them and are quite likely to punish the party that will not c arry out their desires. It has only been by catering to those Repub lican voters who demand reform that the party has been kept in such good plight. Gov. Cummins was elected as the leader of the reform element and as a protest against the old ring that was owned by the railroads and trusts and he dare not go back on this record. There are other states In the Northwest, such as Wisconsin and Minnesota, where similar conditions exist, which will also have to be reck oned with, and any successful attempt to smother reforms by dubious meth ods will result disastrously to the poli ticians or party that attempt it. Compounding Felonies. The Porto Rican smuggling scandal has taken on a much more serious phase by the declaration of the offi cials of the Department of Justice Riat "the action relative to the dismissal of proceedings In these cases was upon the orders of the cabinet and that they came from the President himself." The above quotation is from the Washington Star, which is well known to be an administration organ, and what it says must be taken as coming with authority. This acknowl edgment that President Roosevelt or dered the proceedings against the ar my and navy officers dismissed is an extraordinary usurpation of power un warranted by the constitution. The President has the power to grant par dons, but the power to compromise fel onies before conviction if allowed to pass without serious objection might in time grow to be a prerogative of the executive, which would in the bunds of a tyrant allow his partisans to commit any crime and no proceed ings at law to be taken against them. The laws must be obeyed by President and people alike or in time despotism and even anarchy might overthrow all the safeguards granted by the Bill of Rights. The President has certain powers granted his office by the con stitution, and they are very great, but to be judge and jury is not of them 'Muzzling the Press." Persistent Office Seeking. Dr. Woodrow Wilson, president ol Princeton university, In an address at Chicago on "Patriotism," said . that "President Roosevelt owes his high position to the fact that he was e politician who did not care to hold office." President Wilson should look up the facts before he attempts tc teach people. Mr. Roosevelt has been one of the most persistent office seek ers and Is now engaged in a stumping tour for the nomination for the highest office. The first office he held, in the legislature of New York, he diligent ly sought, directly he had concluded his education at Harvard university. He then was appointed on the United States Civil Service Commission. Then he was New York Police Commis sioner, after that Assistant Secretary of the Navy, resigned that office and asked for the appointment as Colonel of the Rough Riders. At the conclu sion of the war with Spain, was elect ed Governor of New York and sought the office most strenuously. It is true he protested for some days against being nominated for Vice-President but while saying r.ay, consented, and hus by accident became President ol lie United States. If there is a more; persistent office seeker and office holder than Theodore Roosevelt, the record has been most successfully con cealed. The Tariff a Double Tax. The country is reminded again ol the extravagant appropriations by the last Congress by the publication ol the volume by which the law requires to be published at the end of each ses sion giving in detail all the items. The total amount for the two sessions is $1,553,683,002.57, which is far greatei than any other Congress ever appro priated except during the civil war. when the amount was increased enor mously by the premium on gold. Al the vast sum is paid in taxes by th people and the railroad corporations and trusts pay but a very small share of the tax, the need for retrenchment for the taxpayer is apparent. The theory that the foreigner pays the tar iff tax, which the protectionists are sc fond of preaching, is proven to be an exaggeration, as nearly one-half of the vast amount appropriated is raised by the tariff tax. The price of all im ported goods is added to from 40 tc 100 per cent when the custom house has taken its toll and the price of oui home productions are advanced by the trusts accordingly. fo the consume! not only pays the tax on any foreign goods he may purchase, but also pay? a similar tax to the home manufao turer who is protected by the tariff. All Fighting in Some Form. It is only a year or so ago that the Czar of Russia proposed The Hague Peace Congress and ever since there has been a state of turmoil amongst the nations all bent on beating the other fellow and each trying the benevolent assimilation dodge or some weaker people. It is a case ol peace, peace and there is no peace; if they are not fighting vith guns they are building up their protection walls to prevent others from getting at them. cJj!. .,1,1,41 UJiJ Up to Beveridge to Explain.

There Is one good result of "ad vercrowdod profession," and of th sharp competition that exifets amon? doctors in the rivalry for popular fa vor. This Is the disappearance of the old-time spirit of harshness and lord liness, which sometimes degenerated Into positive brutality. These charac teristics were the natur&l products ot an original boorlshness. Increased by success and a comparative monopoly of practica. It takes a. gentlemanly mind not to be spoiled by tho attitudo of subservience on the part of pa tients, and the habit of ordering by the physician in charge. In every large community th' -e are Btill left specimens of niedi.-al Dr Johnsons, who from a ruder age hav carried down a cross and commanding acerbity of manner that Is now out of place and time. In one of our large American cities there is an example known far and wide. His loss of pa tients does not teach him any lesson, and seems rather to increase his chur lishness. He neems to take a special delight in hurting the feelings of his patients by a perverse irascibility. A patient who was shocked by this manner in the very beginning of the examination suddenly stopped, and in a quiet manner asked the amount ol the customary fee, paid it, and with out a word walked away. -re ar? better reasons, of course, af,.mst un kindness and coarse egotism, but it certainly no longer "pays" lor physi cians to li ungentle-manly. American Medicine. WAS TOO FAR BACK. One Occasion When Dr. Hall's Wem pry Was at Fault. Dr. John Hall, the late pastor of t'j-o Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church, was very proud of his memory for fAmea and faces. Strangers wondered at his readiness in calling by name the numerous members of the Sunday School connected with the church. But one of the elders of his church tells of one occasion when the doctor showed no evidence of his remarkable gift. "While Dr. Hall was taking his cus tomary walk down Fifth avenue one morning," he said, "a young man stopped him, saying: " 'Good morning, Dr. Hall, I'm very glad to see you. Don't you remember me? "The doctor, after scrutinizing him for some seconds, replied: 'I must con fess that I have no recollection of ever having seen you. Are you sure that you know me?' " 'Positive,' answered the youth, and it's strange you don't recall me, for you officiated at an occasion of great importance to me. Why, you bap tized me in Dublin twenty-one years ago. " New York Times. COULDN'T "SHOW OFF" THEN. fctudent Not Allowed Chance to Prove Himself a Hero. This story is told about "Joe" Whit tlesey of the New Haven Golf club, a strenuous chap even now and once famous as an oarsman and tennis player. Mr. Whittlesey discovered a boy trespassing on the links the other morning, despite the posted notices, and told him to get off. The boy re fused. In order to thoroughly fright en the lad and make him a living warning to other boys, Whittlesey seized him by the collar and rolled him over on the grass. Just then a Yale student with a girl on his arm happened along. Seeing a grown man apparently pummeling a child, the student called: "Here, you! What are you doing? You let that boy alone." "You go 'way from here, young man!" returned Joe. "This Is none of your business, Sir; none of your business! Just because you've got a girl along, do you think I'm going to allow you to become a hero?" New York Times. No Problem At All. John Burroughs, who has recently pointed out the scientific falsity of the "nature books" that attribute a quite human intelligence and sensitiveness to wild animals is a student of the life of Benjamin Franklin, and has at his tongue's end a number of Frank lin stories that are but little known. According to one of these stories, a Philadelphia neighbor of Franklin said to him one 5 ay: "I keep a barrel of beer in my back yard, and unprincipled persons climb the fence at night with pails and pitchers to rob me. It is necessary for me to keep the beer in this sard; I have no other place for it. Can't you devise for me, then since you are so clever some way of preserving my beer from these thieves?" "What you must do," said Frank lin, "is this. Beside your beer, you must put a cask of fine Madeira. Keep this cask full, and I'll warrant that as long as you do so your beer will re main untouched." The Midnight Hour. The world is sleeping, but I waking lie And watch the moonbeams creep across the floor; I hear the clock proclaim, "No more no more Will time return when once it passes by." Yet I Impatient wait the lagging day." And plan to fill each hour with busy care; Too slow the moments pass, too slow the fair Faint light of dawn is moving on Its way. Yet in some coming night, how far, how near, I cannot tell it surely waits for me Those lingering moments I should find more dear Than rain to mariners adrift at sea: For I shall watch and wait the breaking day. Knowing that I. with night, shall pass away. Thomas Nast's Compliment. The project of raising a statue to Thomas Nast in Morristown Park, N. J., recalls the fact that he was asked ny a society woman at one time to make a cartoon of her. He complied with the request only to discover that she evidently did not understand the mission of a cartoon: "I'm not a very beautiful woman, am I?" she said to the artist, looking at his sketch. "Beautiful! That's no word for U! Vou are really more wonderful than your own photographs, let alone piy cartoon!" New York Times? TESTED BY TIME. Mrs. Robert 'I rod e r Ick, who resldi'M at 1915 Vir ginia fct.. In San Antonio, Tex., tells an e x p e r lence that will In terest every reader; it shows as well that Doan's cures are lasting cures. She 6ays: "Up to the early part of the year 1302 I had been a sufferer from kidney troubles for many years. The pain In my back became worse and worse until It was a daily burden that Interfered with every duty. I was much afflicted with headaches and dizzy spells and was unable to rest well nights. In May, 1902, aftr-r using Doan's Kidney Pills I made a state ment for publication, declaring that they had entirely relieved me of the pain in my buck. I have, since then had a year's time in which to study the effects of the medicine, and while I have had slight touch-R of the trou ble since, the use of the pills has al ways driven away all signs of the dis order and I bave become convinced of the fact that the first treatment was practically permanent in its ef fects, and I know that a box of Doan's Kidney Pills kept on hand are a suffi cient guarantee against any suffering from the kidneys or back.

It Is an old golfing joke about the clergyman who was ready to give up the ministry for the game, but how about giving up the prime ministry? To that pitch of devotion Mr. Balfour came very near pledging himself the other day. Addressing the Sundrldge Park Golf club, he said that he could only trust in being granted the leis ure "I won't say by what means" (evidently, we infer, leaving office) "to take full advantage of the oppor tunity" the club has afforded him in making him an honorary life member. Many can play the game as well as Mr. Balfour, but few can philosophize about it so satisfactorily. It "leans to no abuse," he maintained In the audress referred to, and then, mount ing with hi3 theme, he added: "It is capable of no excess!" That earnest golfer whom his wife caught at 2 a. m. practicing putting on tho billiard taole will thank the author of the "Foundations of Belief" for stating the truth, without a particle of excess.

In the experience of the larger Eu ropean cities which have introduced filtration into their systems of water supply it is found that the average death rate from typhoid epidemics has diminished from one in every 2,00 in habitants to one in every 11,000. Such testimony is conclusive as to the effi cacy of filtration, which, after the re cent experience of Ithaca, receives, as it deserves, much more active Ameri can attention than formerly. The Oldest Lawsuit. A lawsuit which may probably be claimed as the oldest in the world is reported from the Trentina. The two communes of Gallio and Foza have been for four centuries In litiga tion for the possession of an exten sive tract of woodland, which has as sumed the character of a virgin for est, with trees of colossal size, which no man dares to touch. Spots are still pointed out where, 200 . years ago, the two communes fought pitch ed battles for the disputed wood. Ap parently the homeric struggle is as far from closing as ever.

One hard winter he Eskimos' dogs, being half famish ed, dined on the sealskins, and only die frame was left. The Eskimos have now erected a dog-proof taber nacle.
