Nothing could more closely show the
close relations existing between Secre-
tary Gage and the Wall Street Specu-
lators, and the absolute control of this
administration by the money kings,
than the manner in which Secretary
Gage went to the rescue of the Wall
Street crowd, by purchasing $25, OOO,-
900 worth of Government bonds. Not
two hours before the order was Official
ly issued to buy those bonds, Secreta-
ry Gage assured newspaper men that
no bonds would be bought. Later he
received his orders from Wall street,
and promptly obeyed by ordering a
purchase of bonds. When the Wall
street gang squeezes the public, the
government never goes to the relief Of
public, but let the screws be turned q
few times on the big spectators, and
the treasury dumps big wad of public
money into Wall street to ease the
pinch, and the gullible public is ex-
pected to accept the statement that il
is patriotic act, done to prevent f.
nancial panic, when it is we'll known
that it is really done to prevent loss or
the part of the big spectators, who dc
not hesitate to make situations threat
ening money panic whenever they
think it profitable to do so, because o.
their knowledge that the United States
Treasury is behind them. There viii
come a time-it will have to come
when Wall street spectators will no
dictate the actions of the United States
Treasury, but it will not come unit
there is an administration in powel
which does not owe its election tt
money put up by the great Speculation
of the country. There will be chance
to elect such an administration mex

If there was any doubt about Repre-
sentative Henderson having been the
administrations choice for Speaker, it
would have been dissipated by what
has occurred since his arrival in Wash
ington. Almost before he had removed
the dust of travel from his clothes, he
called at the White House to know
whether Mr.. Mckinley had any orders
to give as to the committee assign
ments, aside from the packing of the
Committee on Banking and Currency
in favor of the single gold standard
bill, which was ordered last summer.
Mr.. Henderson is going to be McKin-
ley Speaker, and this House, instead Of
registering the will of Gear Reed as
the last one did, will register the will
of Mr.. Mckinley.

There is much unfavorable comment
in Washington upon the action of Adj
miral Dewey in transferring to his wife
the house recently given to him and
paid for by popular subscription. Mrs.
Dewey has transferred the property
to the Admiral's son. The statement is
made ON behalf of the family that the
transfer was made for the purpose Of
securing the property to the Admirals
son, free from any claim by Mrs,
Dewey, in the event of the Admiral's

that after the Telegram people turned

WINGED that there are MANY good and
sufficient reasons why the expenses of
Douglas county should be more than
that Of some of the older and less pro-
gressive counties in the state, with

CARDS expenses. If some of the other

fraud as they hoped to find in the
