for the use OF railroads and what should be per-

sense Of security that Is Impossible now, when
any street is liable to be seized upon by some
railroad corporation. 1t is true that number
of streets have been exempted from railroads
by act OF the Legislature, but this has been
done In no regular or consistent way. We pre-

The men engaged In cheating at the recent
Lauteroach primaries in a fair way 20 learn
that they committed serious offence that may
subject them to punishment. The Importance of
honest primaries cannot be overestma ted. for in
them we see the Government at its fountain

Germany, which selling our stocks a few
days ago. is now clawing the air in desperate
endeavor to get them back. She can have her
share, only she will have to pay more than
she got for them. This will wound her frugal sen-
sibilites which the acutest she has got but 1t

pie. He says that the appropria tons for the
next fiscal year will be reduced to the lowest
limit consistent with the needs OF the public
service, while at the same time there will be
no cheeseparing. That Is just what the coun-
try wants. 1t wants economy of a genuine
type. but expects Congress to avoid the policy
that has become associated with the name Of
Holman.
