MR.. FLOWERS ELECTION EXPENSES.

*.
Our soft-spoken and mild-mannered contem-
porary, "The World" expressed itself few
days ago as greatly shocked at the intmation OF
TIE TRIBUNE that Mr.. Flower expended more
than So, 900 in the recent campaign for election
expenses. that statesman having made solemn
in 1.-THE Worlds" view an extremely solemn
Affidavit that those figures covered his entire
expenditure for the purpose named. In Its own
flowing, gracious style our contemporary re-
marked that our course in "slandeiing the Gov
ernor-elect' was "unmanly unpatriotlc and
cowardly in the extreme" "To make such a
charge without proof" it said, was infamous"
ITO insinuate such a charge with sneaklng IN
nuendo, while not daring to make 1t in re-
sponsible fashion," it added, was mot less but
more so'' And, having given in these words
its opinion of TIE TRIBUNE'S Infamous be-
havior it proceeded to discuss the effect upon
the public mind. "These things" it remarked
in morazing way, "hurt public morals. They
blunt the moral sense. They tend to make the
crayest crimes against liberty seem venlal mat
tiers of course" That is, if we rightly under
stand our contemporary, it is not the expenditure
of large sums of money to carry elections but
the intimation that large sums were expended
that hurts public morals and blmts the popular
sense.
We must regret, of course, having incurred
the censure of "The World" and we must in
sist that we had no intention of hurting public
morals or bunting the popular sense. But wo
must also repeat that if Mr.. Flower says he paid
no more than $4,000 toward the election ex-
penses of his party in the late campaign he says
what nobody in this State familiar with the
facts for one moment believes and what the
Editor of "The World'' as an intelligent man
will not say he himself believes. BY what
method of juggling with words or figures or
facts Mr.. Flower makes out that he only spent
So 900 on the election we do not know, but it
is quite certain that everybody believes that his
contributions directly and indirectly were enor-
mously in excess of those figures When cam
didates for judicial positions who are practically
unopposed and have an easy wallover, contribute
$4,000 for election purposes, it is not easy
to make people believe that the wealthy Mr..
Flower. who was nominated for Governor solely
on account of his wealth, got off with half that
sum-
And saying so does not seem to us :" unman-
w. "unpatriotic," cowardly in the extreme"
or "infamous" Telling the truth does not
hurt public morals or "blunt the popular
sense" 1t is the other thing that does that.

into its hands representative OF that PAPER
was straightway sent to the founder OF the party
to get full statement concerning its origin'
its nurpo.es. its present condition and future
prospects. He struck the founder on Sunday
and on Monday morning was able TO biazon Ioron
the whole story of the New National Party
to a slightly bewildered but altogether delight
ed world
With the announcement, as was entreiy
nroper Mr. Means himself, "the wel-known

will somewhat compensate the men "who FOL

Mr.. Means describes the birth OF the new party
in letter-a long letter, consisting chiefly OF
tbe circulars he sent QUITO the number OF three
1.-THE new party,r he says, addressing the Editor
of "The POST" sis only few hours old, and
Won ask for full information concerning It,"
Imagine the rapture of a fathers heart "Oniy
a few hours DID," and he is asked for full in
formation concerning it." He proceeds with
parental pride to give it. "a few men," nc
says have agreed to stand together ana tike
what comes.' Excellent beginning BY that
sign we recognize the advent of a new PARTY.
Always "a few men agree to stand together ana
take what comes" And a party thus organ
lied never fails to go on and fulfil its benefcent
mission until the number of those who stand
together gets out of all proportion to "what
comes" At the present moment there are only
six standing together"-a Committee of Six,
with large and larger s. But they have
agreed to "take what comes" and are ready to
receive recruits The circulars are too long to
be copied in full but they can be obtained by
addressing "The Committee of Six" Box 1924,
Boston, Mass.
1t would, perhaps be too much to say that
this is one of the most important events OF tho
century, but looked at as an initial step in the
revival of an important industry this formation
of "New National Party" by ga well-known
shoe manufacturer of Boston is full of signlfi-
canoe. We look to see it spread with great
rapidity over into Brookline and East Boston

where printed that the appeal is made in the
first instance to the supreme legislative body
of the Presbyterian Church. This course will
insure a more speedy settlement of the case.
The appeal will come before the General AS

of appeal stated are six in number, asserting
various irregularities in the Presbyterys action,
haste, prejudice, injustice, etc, and each is sup
ported by detailed specifications.

The English press Of this town is doing what
it can 10 convince Brazil that Secretary Blaine
was guilty of duplicity in negotiating the reel
procity treaty. This is pretty dirty work for
American journalists TO engage in. The desperate
straits TO which that press is reduced in order
to substantiate it's calumnes may readily be
illustrated. 1t states that Secretary Blaine after
pledging his honor that no treaty should be
made with Spain. saved the letter Of his promise
by being sick and away when the President and
Mr. Foster actually closed the reciprocity negotia-
tions with SPAIN The treaty with Spain. as the
correspondence shows. was made before Secretary
Balm, left Washington. the negotiations having
begun in January. The imputaton that he was
sick and away and that Mr.. Foster and the
President relieved him of responsibility is utterly
false. When 'Anglo-Aui,rican journalists make
up their minds TO be unpatriotic. and to play
Englands game, lying becomes easy.

There were some extraordinary proceedings
by the Democratic members of the Columbia
County Board of Supervisors at Hudson yester-
day They so far exceeded their duties as coun
ty canvassers and entertained such small respect
for the law, that they took violent possession
of certain ballot boxes in the County Clerks
Office, broke them open and scattered the ballots
about i'm confusion. This was done in the face
of positive declarations by the County Clerk and
the County Judge that such an act would be
illegal. The instigltor of this action was Deputy
Attorney General Maynard, whose orders come
directly from Governor HILL These high handed
proceedings will inevitably react upon the des-
perate Democrats who are trying had to steal

DO you wish to know the quickest
wsy to cure severe cold? We will tell
you. To cure cold quickly. it must be
treated before the cold has become set

done if you choose to, as nature in her
kindness TO man gives timely warning
and plainly tells you in natures way,
that as g punishment for some indiscre
ton, you are to be afflicted with a cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold, IN most cases, is a dry, loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is so0u fol,
lowed by profuse watery eXpectoraton
and the sueeziug by profuse wttery dis

there is n thin white coating on the
