DECORATION OF THE CITY.
THE

I JHILE the decorations OF the streets along the
\AI line OF march fixed for the grand parade OF the
returning volunteers will be the most artistic
and elaborate ever in this city, the people should
not rest content with the accomplishment OF that
much The whole city should be adorned with
streaming colors, flying flags and banners bearing
legends OF welcome to the heroes.
OF course the committee cannot undertake the gen
eral decoration 1t must be lett to the patriotic i'm
pulses and the artistic OF the householders
During the outburst OF popular patriotism that fol-
lowed the declaration OF nearly every well-to-do
family in the city made a national flag part OF its
household ornaments and treasures In the early days
OF the war the city radiant with banners from
morning to night. When the volunteers from the
other States arrived here they found the streets not
only downtown but in the residence districts pro-
usely adorned with flags and bunting that the whole
city appeared in festa array.
Now the time has COME to make of all those
flags and TO add to their number From every Office
store shop hotel and home throughout the city the
starry banners should be flung to the breeze Wher
ever the boys go the way their homes after dis
bandment they should find the streets made bright
and beautiful by the glow OF the national coors, and
words OF welcome should their eyes all sides.
The departure OF the volunteers for the war
accompanied by the most ardent manifestations OF
pride in their heroism and love for their loyalty.
Now let their home coming be made as glorious as

The late Due de Sagan used to relate
this story: King Frederick William III
was very sparing of words, as is well
known, but one day he was told there was
at Toplitz, where he was then drinking
the waters, a Hungarian magnate still
less talkative than the King. An oppor-

and the following conversation took place,
the King beginning:

He Expired This Morning About Half-Past
Twelve O'Clock


Twelve O'Clock.
Samuel Sloan, for four years, I'D to
the holding of the last Republican
Council caucus, janitor of the City Hall,
died this morning about half-past
twelve O'Clock at his apartments at the
Germania Bank building, from a com
plication of diseases. He had been in
bad health for three or four weeks, but
did not take to his bed until last Sun
day. Medical skill was of no avail, and
death resulted as stated, pneumonia
having a large share in the cause.
Deceased was native of Pennsyl-
vania, and came here about twelve years
ago. He was for years employed by
the Riverside, but got into politics, and
was given a berth at the City Hail.
After he lost his place he again went to
the Riverside, but only remained there
for short time, securing other employ
ment at the power house of the Wheel
ing and Elm Grove railway.
His wife and two children survive
him. The arrangements for the funeral
have not yet been made.
Samuel Sloan was a genial and COM
panionable man, strong in his friend
ships and honest in his purposes, and
many will learn of his death with deep
regret. He was member of Wheeling
Lodge No. ia, Knights of Pythias and
that order will have charge of his
funeral

THE PARTY OF TRUSTS BECOMING
ALARMED.

The Philadelphia Ledger calls upon
the Republican party to act and act
quickly and vigorously in checking the
trusts. 1t calls attention to the fact
that recent Democratic victories in
municipal elections are due to growing
opposition to the trust evil and to the
general belief that the Republican party
is responsible for trust supremacy and
trust growth.
The Ledger is right as a trivet. There
is no doubt whatever in the minds of
the people as to where the responsible
ty exists for the enormous growth of
trusts. Thirty years of almost con-
slant Republican rule and the exploita-
ton of Republican economic policies.
which have wrung vast tribute from the
pockets of the people on which these
unlawful combines have fattened, have
created an oligarchy of the trusts so
powerful that it owns its creators, the
Republican party. The trusts elected
this administration, which owes every
thing to them and is controlled by them
entirely.
The people know this. Intelligent
Republican papers like the Philadel-
phia Ledger know it, too.
1t is time to call a halt, but so long
as trust-owned Republican leaders re-
main in power at Washington there
will be no halt.
The forward march of the trusts was
never so sweeping as it is to-day. There
are not only trusts but trusts of trusts.
Witness the latest projected combina-
ton of the steel and iron interests of
the country, which with capital of
$500, 600 will take in such vast COM
bines as the steel rail trust, the Nation
al Steel Trust, the Tinplate Trust and
the Carnegies.
The onward march of the trusts will
never be halted until the people halt
it, and the people will never be able
to call a halt by placing trust-owned
Republican leaders in power.

OUR CORRUPT SENATE.

Boss Quay has no doubt whatever
presents himself before that body. He
has no more fear that it will dispute
his title than if he were already seat
ed Precedents will be brushed aside,
in his case, he thinks, as he quietly
winks the other eye.
Yet the presidents are against the
Pennsylvania boss, and it is difficult to
see how the Senate can ignore them.
1t certainly cannot do so honestly.
The Legislatures of Montana and
Oregon recently adjourned without
electing Senators, and when the Gov
fill the vacancies by appointment the
Senate promptly rejected the APP
pointees, laying down the rule that
where Legislatures fail to elect Sen
ators at the sessions prescribed by
law for the purpose the omission can
not be supplied before the assembling
OF another Legislature.
Still Boss Quay is not alarmed He
seems to be sure of his ground. In
deed, he has actually given it out that
he has pledges from majority of the
members that the Senate rule will be
abrogated in the case of his Serene
High Boss-ship.
This reminds us of the case of our
own Senator elect n B. Scott. That
gentleman is as calmly confident that
The Senate will seat him as if he were
tlready sworn in, although he has not
is much right under the Constitution

In that body as representative from

But this isn't saying that Mr.. Scott
will not be seated along with Boss
Quay. This is not the kind of Senate
chat is particular in these little mat
ters. AS at present constituted,
goodly number of that august body's
members are themselves beneficiaries
and opponents of Doodle methods.
They have already given a sample of
their quality by whitewashing the
notorious and easily proven bribery
charges against Administration Boss
Hanna. A body that could swallow
that dose with scarcely a wry face
will not stop at brushing aside the law
and precedent in the case of Boss
Quay. What may be done in the case
of Mr.. Elkins's running mate and
protege is another question In order
to seat Mr.. Scott the Senate will have
to overturn the Constitution and the
law and precedents of Congress in
both houses for a century. While
Boss Elkins is probably next to Han
ma in power in Washington. it remains
to be seen if he shall be able to exert
pull enough to have the Senate stultify
itself and Go this unrighteous thing.
