That he republican party is entirely
controlled by the trusts is a fact which
Is made apparent every day,
But it is not every day that leading

acknoWledg - this fact and deplores it.
Tn speech delivered at Toledo, o.,
EIazen 8. Pingree. governor of Michi-
gan, said:
Il have no hesitation in saying that
the leadership Of the republican party
lis now within the control of the bond
tnolders. This does not mean that the
republican party is the party of the mo-
| nopolists, By any means. 1t simply
means that the course of the party is
dictated too much by commercial
greed, by men like your Ohio boss, who
rules from Cleveland, welding scep-
4 Ter which does not belong to the. re-
publican party. tits foreign to its his
tory and to its principles.
Trusts, corporations and money
must not rule our party. 1t was created
as party Of the entire people. 1T was
such In Lincoln's time. But 1t is slip-
ping away from its original principles.
Its leadership is largely in the hands Of
corporate wealth.
| Il do not condemn corporations and
rich men, but I would keep them with
| in their proper spheres. The republican
party is not their property, to use as
they see fit Money-getting is not the
sole aim in life. It should not be the
principal object. It is not safe to in
trust the government of the country to
the influence of Wall street. This is the
common statement, know, but it has
q serious meaning.
Il do not believe can too wildly
paint the evils that must result if the
trusts and monopolies are permitted
to rule the land. These evils cannot be
too bluntly or forcibly stated The
more you can shock people with the
strength OF your condemnation Of these
things. the sooner they will come to q
realization of their seriousness.
Nobody intends to confscate prop
erty. There need be no waving of red
flags and bonfres of stocks and bonds.
There is no likelihood of bowling mobs

is within the power of the majority Of
the republican party. It must send its
moneyed leaders into political obscur-
ity. 1t can do no better than to COM
mence with the dictator Of Cleveland,
whose open hand is already over this
city. ready to come down into it to-
morrow
This is all right, SO far as its state
ments of facts are concerned, but Pin
gree is mistaken when he says the REM
edy is within the power Of the repub-
ican party. The republican party is
bound hand and foot by the trusts. It
can do nothing for the people.
The remedy must be applied by

racy is of and for the people, and
through it and it alone can freedom

RIoTOUs ExTRAVAGANcE,


IN calling attention to the unprece-
dented extravagance Of the Fifty fifth
congress Mr.. Dockerv lays stress upon
the tact that the unusual demand made
upon a country's revenues to carry on
a foreign war ought to have impressed
upon the majority party the necessity
of exercising the mostrigid economy In
making appropriations for all other
purposes. He thinks that his carefui-
ness in espending the public money
should have been all the more consld-
cred because OF the cheerfulness shown
| by the people in acceding without
| murmalr to the additional burdens inn
posed on account OF the: war.
This patriotic willingness OF the peo-
ple has not produced restraining and
| considerate influence upon the repub-
hcans i'm congress. It seems to have
produced an opposite effect. They have
Iindulged in an orgy Of spending which
/ will not only drain the treasury OF lfs
| resources, but bring on q deficit or
alarming proportions. This deficit, MT.
i Dockery estimates. will reach nearly
s1oo, ,o0o, 900 by the first of the coming
month and aggregate at Least S15o, ,Ouo,-
| 600 by the 30th of next June
/ When the Fifty-frst congress, Of
i odorous memorys spent oyer billion ion
dollars for the expenses Of running the
government, the people promptly re-
i pudiated the republican party at the
4 ensuing election on account oil this In
i excusabIe and criminal waste of public
revenues. Prudence onght to have de-
i tered the republicans from repeating
the practices which led to their former ~
overthrow. 81 AZ r. d h.

SHELLEY IN EDINBURGH.
Some Incidents of His Elopemen'

Some Incidents of His Elopement Among the names of famous men as- sociated with Edinburgh that of Shell
 ley should have a place. To Edinburgh
 he came twice in his brief lifetime,
 though only for a short period on each
 occasion, His first visit was at mo-
 mentous crisis in his life. In the end of
 August, 1S11. Shelley eloped with Har-
 riet Westbrook, and came north to avail
 himself of the facilities of the Scots marriage laws. One may still see in the
 Edinburgh Register House books an entry, in writing yellowed by time, 'Au- gust 28, 1911. Percy Bysshe Shelley, farmer, Sussex, and Miss Harriet Vest
 brook, St. Andrews church parish,
 daughter of John Westbrook, London"
 Shelley and his young bride resided in house on the south side of George street
 "a spacious, noble, well-built street;
 but a deserted street, or rather a street
 which people had not yet come fully to inhabit." Unfortunately, the number of the house is not recorded. The rooms were taken under a strange condition. Like all romantic couples, the Shelleys were not rich. They expected money in a short time, but had none in hand They laid their case before the landlord in George street, who-noble soul!--rose to the occasion. He consented not only to take them in, but also to advance money. For one thing only he stipulat- ed: Shelley must treat him and his friends to marriage supper. The bar gain was at once struck. The Shelleys took up their abode there, and the land- lord and his friends had their supper. It seems to have been a success At any rate toward the close of the even- ing, the landlord intruded on the young couple, explaining that II was the in variable custom in Scotland to anoint the bride with whisky, and proposing to do so to Harriet. This generous proposal awoke no sympathy in Shelley's bosom. "I immediately" says Shelley, "caught up my brace of pistols, and pointing them both at him, said to him: I have had enough of your impertinence; cf you give me any more of it l will blow your brains out " But the landlord was quite eclipsed by his servant girl. "a dirty little nymph, by name Christie" Shelley's friend Hogg, who joined them | in Edinburgh has left a vivid sketch of | this parsonage.
