Unusual QUIET Prsvails 10 Police Circles.
Notes From Capitol Hill.

These are quiet times in local police
circles. for probably in no summer IN
great many years has there been as
few persons who have given the vigil
ant officers an opportunity 10 arrest
them. Occasionally night comes when
four or five men get drunk, but the op-
pressive heat that has prevailed does
seem to have developed the usual num-
ber of assault cases or many minor dis
turbances. Last night there was not
an arrest made, and only two minor
sidewalk or backyard controversies
were interfered with. Though there Is
not much building going on in the dis
trict reports on permits TO build were
the chief items reported yesterday
Taunton is very popular with Wan

there have been two big trolley parties
to that city from the place named. One
of the parties went last night, and all
the members OF IL had a most enjoyable
time.

II Was Pract cally an Impromptu Affair,
but Was Big Success.

There was a gay time in the usually
staid old town OF jamestown yesterday
afternoon, for 1t was the occasion OF
the fete which was decided upon last
week. and IL was a most pronounced
success. First there was a parade,
which was headed by cyclers, female
and male, with their wheels beribboned,
and in the line there followed the town
police force, street cleaning department
and fire department., the latter with
steamer, truck and hose wagon.
Then came long line of wagons and
carriages, the latter being profusely
decorated with flowers. while a noun
tain coach carried a number of the rec
ognized bellies of the town, who were
dressed in white, trimmed with varied
colored ribbons. and each one carried a
shepherds crook. The wagons of the
farmers were heaped with farm and
garden produce. while the merchants
were not behind hand in making fine
displays. The parade made a number
of marches and countermarches, and
then was dismissed.
+ The next feature was combination
entertainment, consisting of dog
show. baby parade. golf, racquet, ten
mis- and dancing. all of which was held
on the grounds of Mrs. James III. OPP
per's estate. Everything was so sue
cessfully carried out that the promoters
of the affair have practically decided
upon making the fete an annual affair,
and they are already talking about
next year. Miss Wainwright. daughter
of Commander Wainwright of the
Gloucester. and DR.. Kettleberger. who
was on the Olympia during the fight at
Manila bay. took part in the parade.

Senators Mason and Butler have been
authorized by the senate committee on
postofIices and post-roads to prepare a
bill for postal savings banks that can
be used as basis for future delibera.
tions. 1t is intended that this bill shall
supplant the large number of measures
that have been offered before the COM
mittee.
A communication was read from
Postmaster General Gary, making sug-
gestion regarding the details Of the
legislation proposed. Among other
provisions urged by him was one CIV
ing the largest possible discretion to the
postmaster general in putting the new
system into operation. Mr. Gary also
stated that in his opinion the tendency,
is to make the interest rate too high.
"The downward tendency of interest
rate is unmistakable," he said. He
thought a rate too low preferable to
one too high, and suggested 2 per cent
as prudent and reasonable rate.

The political outlook is therefore one
of Doodle. That is to say, the men
of wealth have given up all hope OF
deiudirg the people. Their reliance is
now upon campaign funds of unprece-
denied magnitude. Our politics will
become bodied to an extent unprece-
dented, even in this land of Doodle
politics. The congressional elections
soon to be settled are to afford the
first occasion for the display of the
power of money. In the past we have
been treated to displays of money at
election time that opened the eyes of
some Of the most hardened politicians.
But that will be nothing to what is in
store for us. The advocates of reform
of all kinds need not expect to be op-
posed with the old sophisms. No
class understands better than the
magnates that the day of sophistry is
over. In place Of sophistry we shall
have Doodle.
There is only one remedy for this
and it was pointed out by John P.
Altgeld in a recent speech. We must
make it so costly for the exploiters
to play their Doodle game they will
find 1t cheaper to give in.-Twentieth
Century.

Trusts Monopolics and Combines.

Exceedingly injudicious combina.
tions have been formed in the United
States which have deprived thousands
of persons of livelihood, and these
combines of capital have been the
means of driving large number Of
people out of trades and occupations
in which they we're employed, because
they were unable to combat against
united wealth, and the unequal and
greedy methods of doing business. 1t
may be asked, why did not the people
who were ousted turn to some other
occupation? To which is answered that
many did and found other trusts, mon
opolies and combines had been formed
in other lines, which in like manner
had deprived thousands of other per-
sons of employment, through which
they supported themselves and their
families.
1t is argued in extenuation that by
these large combines Of capital and de-
stroyers of competition, goods are
produced cheaper. That is admitted,
but the price paid for the concession is
as naught compared with the starving
families which they have caused. Capt.
talists seem determined to control both
money and manufactures, and abstract
therefrom still greater wealth, and the
subservience of the people, whether
families starve through the operation
or not.-W. T. Wood.

To Suppess Live Literature.

The Loud postal bill died on the cal.
endar of the senate last session. Its
author says that 1t is now much i'm
proved. 1t ought to be. AS it stood
before the only apparent way to i'm
prove it was to strike out all after the
enacting clause. 1t was a drive at
weekly newspapers, in the interest Of
the big publishers and the weekly edi-
lions of the dailies. 1t imposed on
the smaller weeklies such numerous
and bothersome restrictions that in
practice it would, in some cases,
amount to prohibition of entirely legit-
innate publishing business. All this
was proposed that the postofiice deficit
might be reduced. But that end NAV
be gained by stopping the systematic
stuffing of the mails during the brief
period when they are weighed to fix
transportation charges of the railroads.
Another way to reduce expense is to
stop paying for the use of each mail
car as much as it costs to build two
of these cars. Mail cars are hired by
the department at the rate of $4,000 to
$4,000 year. They can be built at
the outside figure for $4,000, and their
life is twenty years. Renting at 5000
a year, the postoflce department pays
a pretty good interest on the invest
ment. Call Mr.. Loud off the weekly
newspapers and put him on his trail

We shall never have really just and
equitable laws until we adopt the
principle of minority representation,
and a cumulative vote along with the
initiative and referendum, says the
Journal of the Knights of Labor. BY
minority representation we should al
ways have minority so strong and so
fairly and directly representative Of the
people in our legislative bodies that
no majority could enact vicious o: ty-
rannical legislation. BY cumulative vnt-
ing we should always have the ablest
and most honest men in the nation in
our congresses, legislatures and city
councils. And al shades of opinion
and all classes of reforiners would be
fairly represented.
