The Corrupt Practice Law.

In view OF the many differences Of opin-
ion regarding tie meaning of the law
requiring candidates TO make statements
OF their campaign expenses tine following
statement from the secretary of state
will be OF interest:
"The law seems to be clear when con
: etrued in the light OF it's intent. Every
Candidate before ary caucus. cosveu-
ton or primary election who fails TO re-
ceivs the nomination is required % file "A
statement with the officer authorized TO
issue the certificate of election. and with
the recorder OF the county, within -
days after after said caucus, convention
or primary election. The etatemen,
should be item lzed and include all
sums OF money expended directly or in
directly in the interest Of such candid
acy. Under the last clause Of section Z,
page Ito, session acts OF 1898. it will be
sssn that the statement mnst be filed
with the person authorized to issue the
commission. In the case of county off

at either place. In case statements have
not been filed within the time required

Course If legal questions we're to arise
Ibse4uently. they would be matters for
determination ty the courts. Those
candidates who run before a cauc;s,
convention or primary election and re
eei-e the nomination should not make
their statements until 30 days after the
general election. for the reason that they
nre still candidates until that time and
are still iucurring expenses, and it would
he an unnecessary epd cumbersome
multiplication OF statements to require
them to be divided as between the
primary and geoerel election. but after

Experience as Il Teacher.

The st. Louis Republic, comm enting
on the claim made by the Republican
party that, by its policy cf protection
to American industries. it euabied the
lsboring man tn demand aud receive
living wages for bis labor, asks:
Then why this unreasoniug and up-
reasonable spread OF strikes aud boy,
colts? The Republican policy OF pro
lection To American industries is still
! paragraph OF section Of which has yet
been changed by the Democratic con
! gress. Ii labor is demanding and re
| ceiving living wages, what reason can It
! give for it's discuntent:
The answer is very simple one, and
should have presented itself TO the editor
Of the Republic We should not like to be
s, dlscourteous as to suggest that, know
Ing full well the reason. he is deliberately
eudeavoring to create false impressi On
in the minds OF his readers. Up 10 the
date when, nearly two years ago. the
people by their votes decided to change
from Republican administration TO
Democratic one, business all over the
country was 10 ilourishing condition
and there was no lack OF employment
al good wages. During the campaign
of 1892. and prior thereto it was time
and again pointed out that the aboii-
ton OF IA protective tariff would be fol
lowed by the closing down of industries
that would no longer bs able to COM
pete against ths products OF cheap
foreign labor, and that general reduc-
tons in Wages would inevitably be the
result. The predictions have been full
filled.
II is true that tine Mckinley law is
the tariff measure still in force, bat in
the conduct of large usiness enter
pr,ses the future has to be taken into
consideration as well as the present.
The benefits of the Mckinley law have
been constantly neutral'zed during the
past eighteen or twenty months by the
movement Tor an anticipation OF a re-
dnction of the protective duties Men
will not manufacture goods today at
costly wages when they must sell them
six months or year hence in competi-
ti,n with goods produced by lower
wages. Production has consequently
been checked and wages haye been re-
duced. where mills have net closed
down altogether.
For years the protective policy Of the
Republican party has been IN operation
in the United States. and all that time
the Democrats have beer preaching
against j: and declaring that u tariff
Tor revenue policy would improve the
condition of the people of the nation,
yet the very moment that such tariff. !
became a probability industry took |
alarm and wages dropped, and the farm |
ers products fell to ti.e lowest figures |
Known since former Democratic days /!
Partial paralysis cams upon the busi- !
ness of the country, employment gave
place to id'eness and discomfort has |
naturally followed. Experience is a

How to Protect Yourself.

II you get into a quarrel with a man
and see that you can't get out of it with
out a fight right then and there, forget
that he has a head, pick out tho second
button of his vest and smash him on it
as hard as you can. In 80 cases out of
100 you'll win the battle without an
other lick. There is no foul about a
stomach blow; it's only when you get
below the belt that you arc open to
criticism. OF course you are liable to
hurt a man by hitting him in the stom-
ach, but that's what you are there for.
Most people who get into a sudden row
i am speaking Of course of those who
have never been taught how to take care
OF themselves-go at each other hand
over hand like II sailor climbing up the
rigging, and they invariably try for
each others head. AS | said before, for
get your antagonist has u head if you
are forced into a fight. Just take aim at
the place where you think his chest pro-
tector stops and let drive at it. There
is no one man in 10000 can stand IA
crack there. 1t takes months of train
ing to make a mans stomach har |
enough to receive even n medium bl v
there. Then, if you want to spoil his
beauty and leave your visiting card with
him in the shape of a black eye. you can
do 1t at your leisure, for the fellow who
is hit in tho bread basket forgets all
about his body above that. for the time
being Observation-Disclosures Post.

Not Easy to Interview.

FL. N. Higinbotham of Worlds fair
fame is one of the most genial of Chi
cago's big men and one of its easist to
approach. But that does not mean that
Mr.. H%iginbotham is an easy man to in
terview. Quite the reverse. Except on
matters to which his opinion is peril
nent he will not talk for publication.
For instance, if he is asked for an inter
view on the tariff he will lead the con-
versation away from that topic and de-
scribe volubly the condition Of the Mo-
hammedans in Palestine as he saw it
when last visiting the Holy Land. The
result is that the interviewer spends
half an hour or so In delightful CONVEX
sation and leaves with absolutely moth
