THE dispatches recently have been
full of statements that our American
steel rail manufacturers are making
contracts for furnishing rails to Japan
csc and Australian railway builders in
successful competition with the manu-
facturersof Europe. Yet the good and
wise trainers of the DinGley bill, to pro-
tect our American markets against the
''pauper labor of Europe" placed a
duty of seven dollars per ton on the i'm
portatlon of such rails. Thus it is the
good Marcus Aurelius Hanna goes into
competition with Europe to supply
Japan and Australia, while the COM

WITHOUT questioning the truth Of
the statement that is made,by our re.
publican friends that prices are rising,
and good times are the result. We would
like to ask IL they are not helying their
campaign tenets Of last year when
they say M Last year they told US
that high prices wOuldresult from cheap
money, from the free coinage of silver,
out that as prices rise on what one had
to sell they also rise on what we have TO
buy; that this principle of cheaper
money and higher prices applied to the
payment of debts was ''repudiatiOn;"
that applied to old soldiers, was cutting
their pensions In two, and so on ad in
finitum. In year or two, when the
little squirt in prices, caused by foreign
shortage, is over and prices are again
back to the norm Il gold standard level
these republican papers will be denying
that they ever exulted ,ver high prices,

SECRETARY of Treasury Gage is a
Chicago Millionaire. OF course he
thinks milliOnaires are very nice and
valuable class of people to the com.
monwealth. In speech the other day
to a college which had been endowed
by rich woman he made some deliv-
erences on the subject Of millionaires
and their usefulness. He says of them
that "their number is not appalling"
Nevertheless he will not deny that
their number is rapidly increasing.
OF course he has nothing to say about
the corruption of legislatures, the brib-
ing of judges wrought by the corpora
tons and their lobbyists. He speaks
of their tyranny and greed, but summar.
lily dismisses it as Of no consequence.
He speaks of how millionaires are made
and names few inventors who have
become millionaires ont of the proceeds
of their inventions, but does not name

TO WIN ON DECEPTION.

Last Friday hearing was had on
objections to the democratic township
ticket for Little River township. The
objections were filed by Billy Morgan,
chairman OF the republican county
central committee. The republicans
in that township, probably with the
connivancs of the county bosses, put
up scheme BY which they hope TO de-
ceive the voters into voting the repub-
lican ticket. They met and nominated
full set of township officers composed
entirely of pOpulists and democrats and
headed il Republican Ticket;" Sc OF
Course it goes under the republican
county ticket. The voters of Little
River are chiefly Germans and it was
expected that with the changes in the
method of voting this year, they would
become confused, look for the names
of their friends, conclude they are on
the ticket they want to vote and so vote
the whole republican ticket. We are
told that this scheme has been success
fully worked in some other townships
before.
OF course the placing of the same
names on another ticket would work
against the accomplishment Of this de-
ception and so Mr.. Morgan objected.
What is it to any republican whether
the names of the township candidates
are on more than one ticket unless
they expected to confuse the voters and
deceive them into voting opposite to
what they intendadp
But however, much they may calcu-
late on deceiving these Germans, they
are very liable to find on election day
that their scheme has miscarried.
While they may think these Germans
good victims for sharp practice they
may find they have misCalculated the
character Of the men. They are a
quiet, honest, cass Of citizens who alb.
bOr fraud and IS they become aware
of the motive of the republican manip-
ulators they will see to it that their
purpose is not accomplished.
The republican mOguls Of this county
may laugh and declare that they were
never so safe from d, fea! in this county
but when they bob up behind such de-
ceptive schemes it is evidence that the
laugh is very much forced and that
down in the bosom of their hearts, be-
hind the laugh, there is very good
sized panic.
The board hearing the compliant &C.
cordinR to law is composed of County
Clerk Yeager, Clerk of the Court Fay
Smith and County Attorney Fall. Mr.,
Fall was away and Messers Smith and
Yeager disagreed. A restraining or.
der has been issued by the probate
judge to prevent the county clerk from
placing the names on the ticEet.

ONE great matter that is not men
toned by the republican papers is that
under the pOpulist administration the
school fund commissioners deal directly
with the municipalities or political d.
visions in the purchase Of bonds, in
stead Of doing rs the republican com:
miSsioners did and operating through
brokers and grsbbers who often made
$4,000 TO 1900 In one transaction.
Whether this money always went In Its
entirety to the broker may perhaps be
doubted, but at any rate republican pa
pers say nothing about any OF these
transactions. They prefer TO howl
about the boodllng pOpulists.

LESSON OF THE EPIDEMIC.
Yellow Fever Can Be Exterminafed
from This Hemisphere.

Americans do not sufficiently realize
what a humiliating reflection upon the
enlightenment of the western heml~
sphere, from sanitary point Of view.
a yellow fever epidemic constitutes. In
Europe the disease is now practically
unknown: the last serious epidemic
having been that of Lisbon in 1857.
Yellow fever now belongs to the west"
ern hemisphere, from which also "
should be. extirpated, as can be done
if the proper kind of international pub
lie opinion be brought to bear upon the
subject. While the disease is not in
digenous to the United States, being
always an importation, its visits are,
nevertheless, so regular that since the
beginning of the century there have
been only nine years in which it has not
appeared. Its natural breeding ground
is furnished by the heat, moisture and
filth Of tropical seaports. These con-
ditions are found in certain cities of the
Spanish main, which, lacking proper
sanitary regulations, have become per-
petual foci Of infections; and Havana
is the worst Of them. There the disease
prevails during the entire year, steady
supply of fuel for it's virulent flames, as
it were, being furnished by the new
corners. The natives generally are i'm
mune to it, having usually had the NAL
ady, in a mild form, in childhood.
For us the position is a simple one
Since we have such neighbors we must
either bring about a reform in their
sanitary conditions and practices or
continue to run the risk of an annua!
invasion of this terrible disease.
Thirty-fve of the visits of yellow fever
to this country since 1900 are known
definitely to have been from Cuba; and
of these % have been clearly traced to
the port of Havana. Europe's protec-
ton against Cuba, in this particular,
lies in her remoteness. A disease which
turks in vessel starting across the
ocean has time to develop and manifest
itself SO clearly that the quarantine Of
ficials on the other side can discover
it on the vessels arrival. But with
Cuba hardly six hours from Key West,
there will always be a percentage of
danger, however stringent the quaran-
tine regulations may be, if the condi-
tions remain as they are, unless, in
deed, we assume a policy of absolute
nonintercourse with the island during
the summer months.-Dr. Walter Wy
man, in Forum.

Grace of POlfteneSs.

Some of the most gifted men have suf-
fered greatly because of their uncivil
ways and vinegar habits in speech,
manner and dress; others, because of
politeness, put everyone at perfect ease.
Theresa grace and dignity that charms.
They have learned the happy way OF
pleasing. The fop, the bore, however
richly endowed intellectually, finds but
little place among cultivated and re-
fined people. Such men overstep the
bounds of modesty and make them
selves distasteful. The grace of true
politeness ought to be cultivated in the
early hours of life, and it is claimed by
those who profess to know that be-
tween the age of three and six children
should be we'll versed in the principles
of civility, courtesy and good breeding,
and in this way make it the habit of
their liyes.-Detroit Free Press.

Cochran is Postmaster.

took charge of the postofflce in Centralia
on Wednesday, Dec. LIST. Miss Kate
Smith, the obliging assistant, has been
retained in her old position. This
change Of postmasters is hailed with
particular delight by all patrons of the

the purpose of the REPORTER to kick a
man when he is down, neither to shirk
from the truth when it should be spok-
en-. However we'll we may regard
Capt. E. Mennett as citizen and a sol
der we cannot refrain from emphasz-
ing the popular opinion that he has
made a poor postmaster. AS an indie
pendent, unobliging, cranky public
official, at times deucedly offensive in
service to ladies and gentlemen, and al
ways so prompt in CLOSING up"as to al
most neglect actual duty, Mr.. MeHnet
has never had an equal in the Centralia
office. 1t is repeated, all are glad that
a change has finally come, because they
hope for and expect better things from
the new encumbent.
Capt. Mennet expects to visit for a
few weeks with his daughter Mrs. Lee

tends to pass his winter in St. Louis or
farther south.
