Expansion we all Admire.

There seems to be no end to the fea-
lures developed by the great metropoli-
tan papers to enhance the attractions OF
their great Sunday editions, which to
us already appear to be givinh more for
the money than could possibly be ex-
pected by the most exacting. Yet here
comes the great Sunday st. Louis Post
Dispatch, the best now befare the pub
lie, and, as it were, proceeds to gild
the gold, by piling up another offer,
which outshines anything in the way of
an attraction that we have seen offered
anywhere by any newspaper. This
great paper announces that it will give
away an album of new and original
music, consisting of ten of the latest,
up-to-date class of songs, such as songs
of sentiment "Coon" songs, cake-walks,
etc. With every copy of the Sunday
Post Dispatch for ten consecutive
weeks, will be given away, one of these
new aud original songs, written and
composed by popular authors of recog-
nized ability, each song being well
worth so cents.
This unparalleled enterprise on the
part of the Sunday Post.Dispatch in
virtually giving away $5 worth Of new
music should win for it an enormous
addition to its already vast army Of
readers. Send so cents to the Post
Dispatch, st. Louis, and receive this
great paper, with its beautifully illus
trated magazine, its comic weekly and
superb news service for three months
and the magnificent album Of new

"The democratic party holds that
the government and the government
alone may issue currency, may coin its
money. The democratic party has ever
held that it needs no brokers, no com
mission agents between it and the peo-
pie; it was a government prerogative a
right belonging to the government
alone. On the other side, intriguing
men are found who want to strip the
government Of that power. has ever
been their a. IN to make currency that
should be as scarce as possible with
which to carry on the business of the
country. They wanted it so that they
could regulate the amount. of money
and then fix the price at which the peo-
pie could have that money. Every
artifce that cunning subtlety could
command has been exerted to reduce
its volume. We find silver pushed out
of its rightful place. We find de-
termined effort to substitute an inter
est-bearing note for a non-interest-
bearing note"
One feature of the address of Colonel
Kilbourne, Mr.. McLean's chief oppo-
nent in the state convention, was his
compliment to Mr.. Mclean in his open
ing address. Mclean had been known
as forcible writer, but was not as a
public speaker All those who followed
Mclean in the afternoon as we'll as at
the evening meeting were loud in their
praise of his keynote speech. Congress
man Lentz and General Finley made
bitter attacks on Governor Roosevelt

Akron week ago.

ty of Ohio, and the democratic state
campaign was most auspiciously opened
here today with John R. Mclean and
his associates on the state ticket and
many other leading democrats as the
speakers. The weather and all other
conditions were most propitious for the
success of the outdoor demonstrations
and the meeting durin the afternoon.
but the cool air called for hall at
night. The enthusiasm indicated live
ly interest. The spirit Of the leaders as
indicated in the keynote speech of Mr.
Mclean and all the other speakers was
for war on the trusts and war on the
bosses with Senator Hanna as the tar
get of the attacks on bosses and Judge
Nash as the favorite of the "boss" SEN
ator. The speakers were all strongly
opposed to imperialism, but drew a dis
tinction between imperialism and the
support of the Philippine war.
Mr.. Mclean was escorted by the
Thurman club of the Ohio state uni
Versity. He was met by reception
committees "a marching club of one hun

thousand citizens. Mr. Mclean was

WILL THEY GET HIS SCALP.

Those newspapers which have been max
ing war on Secretary Alger for a year or
more were pretty certain on Monday that
his official scalp was almost within their
grasp. They announced quite positively
on Tuesday that Ayers days were num-
bered." and that Ambassador Choate
would. in all probability. succeed him. in
our dispatches yesterday it was stated
that Secretary Alger had not rendered his
resignation, and that it had not been asked
for That sort of a statement is calcu-
lated to create the impression that there
is doubt whether the Secretary win re-
main in the cabinet much longer.
There is very bitter hostility TO Mr.. Al
ger even among Republicans. In fact, as
far as talk goes, there is more bitterness
against him among Republicans than
among Democrats. The Democrats are
not saying much about the matter. They
look upon it as political family affair.
1t is probable that Senator Mcmillan
of Michigan has stirred up a great deal OF
the newspaper talk against Mr. Alger
Very naturally the Senator wants to hold
on to his office. and, as Mr.. Alger has
announced his purpose TO be the Senator =
| successor in the Senate, there is war be-
tween them. The Senator is power in
Michigan politics-a fact which Mr.. A.ger
is beginning to find out
Mr.. Alger made a mistake when he en-
tered into a political alliance with Gov.
Pingree of Michigan. The two, if ac-
counts are correct, decided to shelve SEN
etor Mcmillan and possess the state them
selves. The Senator concluded that he
would see If he couldn't get Mr.. Alger
out of the war department long before
Mr.. Alger could succeed him in the Sem
ate. It begins TO look as if the Senator
were the better tacucian.
If Mr. Alger wants to stay in the war
| department he viii have TO abandon his
sena torial aspirations. If he should do
that it is probable that there would be a
noticeable falling off in the pressure for
his removal from the cabinet.

DIsCHIMIN ALTON AGAINST SOUTI
ATLANTIC PORTS.

We don't pretend to understand the
mysteries of railroad rates. but one thing
stands out clearly in the testimony of the
witnesses before the Interstate Commerce
Commission this week. in the case Of the
Charleston Freight Bureau against GER
tain railroads which deliver freight ia
Charleston, ana that is that Norfolk has
far better rates with the West than either
Charleston or Savannah.
There are, of course explanations and
excuses. but they do not cover up the
fact that the South Atlantic ports are
working under a great disadvantage-tha
they can never have a great business with
the West as long as the railroads give
preference 10 Norfolk and ports north Of
Norfolk
We have been asking the railroads for
a number of years why it is that grain is
being shipped to Europe from the West
by way Of Norfolk, while none is being
shipped through this port. As We recol-
lect the answer has been that grain has
to be shipped over several lines, and that
the lines on the Northern end of the
route demand such a high rate there is
nothing for the line on the Southern end.
1t seems, however that the lines over
which the grain finds an outlet at Nor
folk get pretty well paid. There is no
reason, therefore, why the lines termi-
mating at Savannah and Charleston
shouldn't find some profit in handling
Western grain for export.
1t looks as if the Interstate Commerce
Commission were going into this rate
business, 50 far as the Southern roads and
their Western connections are concerned.
very thoroughly. The South Atlantic
ports ask for nothing except what is just.
1t certainly cannot be just to let Nor
folk have such an advantage as the tes-
timony in the Charleston case shows she
has. Indeed, there is no apparent reason
why she should have any advantage what
ever.
The South Atlantic ports will never be
able to build up a grain exporting bust
ness if the railroads discriminate against
them. They might as well give up talking
about encouraging grain shipments. 1t
may be true that Southern roads cannot
afford to do a local carrying business as
cheaply as Northern roads do that kind
of business, because of the difference in
the volume Of the business, but they ought
TO carry through export freights at as
low rate as the Northern roads If they
do not they will never carry grain and
provisions from the West that are intend
ed for export.
