Effects Of Dsuocr-sie Raie IN tho Larse
Cities.

Effects OF Den,ocr.tse Rale IN tho Lnrro
Cities.
The fact that the large cities Of tho
country, most of which nave heretofore
been democratic, are becoming rcpub-
lican one after another Is interesting
and significant. 1t win not do TO say
that these striking changes are acci-
dental, or attribute TO different local
causes. They all have the same mean
ing, manifestly, and are to be regarded
from the same point OF view. The fact
Is well understood that the people arc
aroused upon the subject of municipal
misgovcrnmcnt and the necessity OF re-
form In that respect. In all the largo
cities where the democratic party has
had control OF affairs, there has been
condition OF general corruption and
shameful neglect of the public inter
ests. The bosses and the boodlcrs
have taken possession of the machinery
Of government and operated il TO their
own advantage, regardless OF justice.
honesty and dccency. Revelations OF
systematic fraud and plumber on tho
part OF these political bandits have
opened the eyes of intelligent and rep
utable citizens to the grave peril that
such facts involve. and they are taking
steps TO improve the situation.
IL Is evident that the voters who arc
thus resolved TO bring about d better
state of things IN tho large cities believe
that the surest way TO accomplish their
object is 10 introduce republican rule.
The record of the republican party for
~ nd ts,tn 4.
ment OF public business Is one that
fully justifies this view. 1t has uni
formly administered such trusts in
successful way, carefully guarding
against the abuses that have invaria-
bly, attended democratic rule. The idea
of ignoring politics and adopting tho
non-partisan method of eradicating
municipal evils Is one that has failed
as often as IL has been tried, and the
people are not disposed TO wasto time
and energy In further experiments 60
that kind. They recognize tho fact
that parties are Indispensable, and
that practical and substantial results
cannot be achieved without such in
strumentalities for the assimilation
and concentration OF the forces which
carry elections and execute policies
and purposes. The democrati: party
has been fully tested in this relation
and found to be disappointment and
a calamity. That Is why an opportuni-
ty is now being given TO the republican
party to redeem the large cities from
their besetting political disorders and
substitute clean and correct govern
mcnt for that which Is extravagant.

they beat around the bush helplessly
for weeks and finally gave the job up

worked itself out, as most police forces

For twenty-five years my father
worried over those murders, and on bis

THE INCOME TAX MuDDLE.


The action of the United States SUI
preme court on the income tax ques-
tion promises to create no end OF
middle. Collectors and taxpayers
alike seem TO be nll Mt sea, not know
ing just what is TO be done or Is ex-
pected under the law as pow inter-
preted. The law certainly fails to
meet one of the principal objects of
its populistic trainers, for, in the words
of Chauncey M. Depew. IL "exempts
the man who collects rent and taxes
the man who pays rent" In other
particulars il Is n paradox and fraud.
The objections TO 1t are very forcibly
put by Hon. j. Edward simmons,
president of the Fourth national bank
of New York aud a lifelong and prom
inent democrat. Ia an interview with

"About forty years ago," continued
the detective, when / was q youngster

place rich and close-fisted old fellow
OF sixty or so, who had no near rela-
tives, and who lived in large house
with no other companion than young
man of twenty-five who was his conf

dozen times n day on my street in

a saving grace 10 Mr.. Gartley. The
friendship between Mr.. Delars and his
clerk was close and warm, and when a
rumor went abroad that Gartley was to
inherit the bulk OF the old gentle
mans property. IL caused little or no
comment, for IL Mr.. Delnrs had legal
heirs, they were not near, and they
showed very little disposition TO come

state. we knew, but they never visited
Mr.. Delars. In the course of couple
of years we moved away from
the neighborhood, but not so
far that we lost sight OF our old
landlord, and one morning we were
greatly surprised and shocked TO read
in the papers of his murder My father
was out of the city at the time, but he
returned next day and Immediately
went to work on the case. IL appeared
that Mr.. Delars, who occupied a room
on the first floor, had been killed in the
night and robbed of whatever jcwclry,

House Flyer" The first attempt
was made miles south of
Benton Harbor. where the train
struck dummy-car which had been
placed on the track The car was de-
molished and the front end of the
engine damaged. Two miles further,
while moving at a slow rate. the train
struck a pile of ties and was delayed
two hours. This last accident occurred
at what is known as the Sodus curve,
the most dangerous part of the road,
and had the train been running at the
regular speed, a frightful accident
would have been the result. with pos
sibly great loss of life. There is no

You ridiculcd every plant that was

You said 1t was all being done for

You lied about the matter and de-

You said tin platewas not then made
and never would be made in this coun.

Now what do you think of It?
There are now 100 tin plato mills In
operation or under construction In tho
United States
And there arc more % projected.
And now for some figures taken
from democratic records.
The aggregate output OF the mills
now and soon TO be in operation Is 3d.

This means an aggregate output of
