They are entitled to the portion of the

General Stbessel's last dispatch sent
congratulations to the czar and ended
up with the words: "God is with. us."
The question is how he found that out.
But General Stoessel may have some
Inside information from the' courts of

and the Japs have not bothered it.
Charles II granted a perpetual pen
sion to the duke of Richmond, and the
linglish government continues to punc
tually pay it every year to his heirs. It
amounts to $95,000 a year. There is a
"vested interest" wotyh having. The
last annual payment was made just o
few days ago, but like the brook, "it
goes on forever."
- Gompers had a walkaway and is
again elected president of the Ameri

The German budget shews a deficit
'of $73,264,443.' The cost of its immense
standing army is grinding the life out
-of Germany and the thing will have
to be stopped or the nation will b3
'ruined. If it were not fa the govern

One of the things that came along
with the landslide is a ship subsidy
scheme of gigantic proportions. The

They are on the road to win.
It is now openly charged by some
democrats that S'heehan, who managed
Judge Parker's campaign was in the
employ of the .republican party. The
advice, they say, that he gave to Judge
Parker to keep silent and then put
him up to making personal charges
against Roosevelt "was all in the inter

republican party. It is well known that
Sheehan received a fee from Rocke-
fellar of $30,000 to get some special
privilege legislation through the last-
New York legislature. At any rate
there is a hot time" between thj two
old Wall street democratic gangs.
Neither of the gangs,, however, have
any idea of allowing the national or

The Florida Coast railroad has raised
its passenger rate to four cents a mil'
because it runs part of the way
through an unsettled country. It seems
that it intends to keep that country
unsettled. ;

He took pains to deny the charge that
he was not in earnest. When the votes

avalanche of Roosevelt votes were put
into the boxes wherever he spoke. But

columns of their space to informing
the people that the RocVefellerFuei
and Iron company of Colorado is noth
ing but a great experiment in social
ogy, the object of which is to train up
the bravest and best citizens in all

ing as high as six or seven deaths " to
their account,5 than a German opera

known at a German pperi. It was de
cided that the Italian opera won.
