Democrat-Journal: Governor Cummins of Iowa has heard from the republican bosses and has laid down, flat before them, and has laid down hard on "the Iowa idea" of relief from tariff oppression. Cum mins is not made out of heroic stuff. Osceola (Ark.) Press: It is all non sense to say that the money interests will knife Roosevelt in the next cam paign. Much as these gentry dislike Iho president they hate the democratic party more. It will be the same old fight between plutocracy and democ racy. 0 Rantoul (111.) News: Some mem bers of congress think that Mr. Bris tow has not yet reached the bottom of the postal fraud. The railway mail should be investigated. Sonio $30, 000,000 annually goes to the railroads and steamship companies in the shape of excess toljs for the mails.

Findlay (O.) Courier: Secretaries Snaw, Wilson and Moody, Speaker-to-be Cannon and half a dosfcn prominent republican senators are among those .who will help Senator Hauna in the Ohio campaign. It looks as if the re publicans of the state had turned in a general alarm. Fremont (Neb.) Herald-Leader: Mr. erly coffined for interment That is a part of the awful price we pay for trying to own people and run their country regardless of their wishes. Carmi (111.) Democrat:. The plea for issuing the government surplus to banks, giving corporation bond3 as security in the place of government ponds, Is made on the ground that Bellefonte (Pa.) Watchman: Sena tor Hanna's declination to meet John H. Clarke, the democratic nominee for United States senator from Ohio, in a joint debate is not much of a surprise. Hanna's love for "the dear working men" prevents him from letting them know how little he actually does know. Greenfield (Mo.) Advocate: But re cently the bodies of 302 more of our American soldiers who have died in the Philippines were unloaded at San 1,'rancisco. The trade for which we are paying so extensively in honor, wealth and blood in the Philippines seems to run largely to the undertak ing trade. Eureka (111.) Democrat-Journal : A committee is to wait on President Roosevelt for the purpose of asking llm to urge congress to invite the in ternational peace congress to meet in the United States next year and to appropriate a fund to pay- the neces sary expenses. It is to be hoped that th president will not take this as an affront, or a "practical joke, in view of his warlike utterances, and love of militarism. La Cygne (Kas.) Standard: What's happened to President Roosevelt's trust-busting, crusade? The silence re garding his proposed shackling of cun ning trusts is almost painful as the time lor renomination -approaches. His profound quietude upon the sub ject tends to create a suspicion that his instructions to the attorney gen eral about prosecuting trusts and his strenuous talks in public in condemna tion of them are like the lady's two handkerchiefs "one for show and the other for blow."

The paper states that while they Mr. Horrlp.k elves some "reasons" why publican party begins to slobber over are opposed to some of Johnson's he will not debate with Tom Johnson. But tho real reason is that Hanna and Herrick don't dare face Clarke and Johnson on the stump. A'tion (Neb.) Argus: The papers say that coal was shoved up 50 cents per ton.

Ledger: Those democrats who insist that the party should surrendc- its principles to re gain the bolting gold-bug vote, should spend a few days figuring on how many real democrats might not recog nize an undemocratic ticket on elec tion day next fall. There are less than 300,000 of the gold bugs, where which' Is atleast83loworthanyou caaparchue a mill not as good as tho Empire from your dealer. Writ at once for froo wind mill and pump book.

"Why are government greenbacks (the govern ment's promise to pay) any moro "fiat" currency than national bank notes (the government's promise that the bank will pay)? We are glad to note that the national bank people in the smaller places are opposed to such o plan. They know it is being insti gated by the big fish in an attempt to Rwniinw tho little ones. The people should study this enormous fake and prevent a republican congress from exacting it into law. gentlemanly holdups to the pen also? there are nearly 7,000,u00 of the other luuuwa, Warsaw (Ind.)

If he wants to he "boomed for this nomination he should have a democratic paper do it. The Chronicle's' support would injure tho chances of the best man on earth in the estimation of real democrats. Portsmouth (O.) Sentinel: They are coming Into line. The Columbus State Journal approves of tho action of the president in calling congress in spe Tiffin (O.)

Tiffin (O.) Advertiser: Republicans are divided as to the quality of cur rency they desire. Some want a "rub ber currency," others want an "asset currency," but none seem to want a currency issued by the government. which is absolutely good for all the people. Gold, silver and greenbacks have no place in the new financial pol icy of the republican leaders. They want an inferior money, backed by all manner of questionable assets. Such a currency reform will not be popular with the public, who want "honest" money and plenty of it to fnnwwnnT.nia m?RT ORATIONS.

And still it will go on talking about free silver cranks. And then. too. when tho "rubber baby" money comes, it, in common with all the other organs, will take it to its heaving bosom and declare it is good. Albion (Mich.) Mirror: And per haps some of thoso who watched the umopding of the long, heavy boxes were unpatriotic enougn to wonaer u the whole Philippine archlRelago was worth the price that shipload repre sented.

Ramsey (111.)

Waterville (Wash.) Press: But the funny part of the business is, while the secretary is pleading for more money for the business of the coun try, the banks are' contracting the cur rency as fast as they can. Last week they took up $2,000,000. The law lim its them to retiring ?3,000,000 per month. Here they take up to almost the limit in one week, and this in the face of the fact that the cry is going up from the treasury for more money for the "business interests." Curious thing this putting in rubber at one end with a fellow at the other taking it out Don't try to reason it out, iMark says, or there will be a panic. Kingfisher (O. T.) Reformer: Be fore we commence yelling for asset currency let us ask ourselves a few questions: How could such currency, issued by hanks and guaranteed by the government, be any safer than currency issued by the government it 'Self?
