Detroit Tribune: The coal miners

consideration for Secretary Gage in
going on q strike just as he had pre-
pared 70 ladle out the prosperity.

stable door after the horse has been

Sledgehsmmer: The landing Of the
fusion forces in Iowa squarely in the
Democratic party and under It's name
will open the eyes Of the PopuIists all

Kinley's American Eagle is a mon.
strosity. A bird that can poke
her beak In a sugar barrel In Wall
Street, stretch one wing $500 miles
out in the Pacific Ocean, but can't ex-
tend the other wing sixty miles from
the Florida coast, is freak, to say the
least.
Mobile Register: The Georgia SEN
ators are young as leaders, but il they
live long enough they will learn that
they will have to work hard early and
late and hold both eyes open before
they can keep themselves out Of traps
set for such unwsry statesmen by the
Bly old fellows who represent the East
ern States In the Senate.
Living Issues There are many per.
sons who have really been led to be-
lieVe that there is such a thug and
really ought to be such q thing as a
money of ultimate redemption. To
them 1t may be q surprise to learn that
there is not such thing, that there
never has been such a thing, never
will be such thing, and ought never
to be such q thing.

q consul learned the first requirements
Of his place than he is subject to re-
moval on the turn Of an election at
home.
New York Voice: A union Of tenn
persnce forces in a party containing a
liquor contingent would be powerless
TO procure successful prohibition. 1t
would necessitate fight TO keep the
whisky end Of the party from getting
on top In the organization, and to pre-
vent the rummies inside and outside
the party from keeping on top in the
Government. The anti-ginmill forces
cannot successfully carry on two bat.
tles at the same time.

sold Itself TO make. The manuPactur-
ers who write their own rates on their
own letter.hesds show the true state of
the case. The Senate is their creature;
the Republican caucus their servant.
A protective tariff is a pure matter Of
bargain and sale; and the terms of it
are openly referred to In the Senate,
where the men who are held up to exc

Indianapolis Sentinel: There is no
real reason for the annexation of
Hawaii that appeals to the sentiment
Of the American people, except that q
few people Of American descent have
put themselves In an embarrassing sit
uati0n there and there is no way out
Of 1t but to annex the islands. We
have no use for the islands or for their
people. We are not united to the mass
of them In customs, morals or aspirs-
tiOns, They are ss utterly foreign to
us in every respect as can be imagined.

ness may seem preposterous at the
outset, but let us consider the matter
briefly. The Postal Department has
the facilities ready at hand to insuRu.
rate system Of Government savings
banks. Suppose, for instance, that
every money order Office was author
lied to accept money for deposit in the
National treasury, Such plan would
not entail material expense upon the
Government. In the larger cities the
clerical force might require strength
ening, but In majority Of the offices
the regular clerks could attend to the
work without Inconvenience.
Detroit Free Press: To the encour.
aging reports of the city's manufac-
turing and mercantile institutions as
to the present state Of trade and the
outlook for the future may be added
the improved showing In clearing
house transactions, a gratifying per
Centage Of'incTease being reported by
the commercial agencies for the first
time in many months. These local
signs of lifting up In business CORE
spond with the cheerful predictions of
authorities whose survey covers the
whole country, and there must be
something in all this talk of a better
feeling and strengthening hopes. The
oOuntry's resources are too vast and |
varied and its reserve power too great
for it to remain long an invalid.
