sulzer viii Be Lonely,

One OF the greatest triumphs of the
Republican party In Ohio was the defeat
of John ]. Lentz for Congress, in the
Columbus district. This man was to
the house of Representatives what Petit
grew was to the senate. or all the
blatant demagogues that ever wnggcd
their tongues Lentz was the unchal-
lenged peer. In conjunction with Con-
gresham Sulzcr. OF New York. another
bright specimen Of total incapacity,
Lentz originated the Investigation into
the miners troubles In Idaho. The
course of these two worthless was emil
nently rcprehenslble. The, hypocrisy OF
their claim that they were working In
the interests OF the "down-trodden
worklngman" was so transparent that
the remaining Democratic mem
bers OF the committee refused
to sign minority report they had
prepared. The Democratic governor OF
Idaho appeared bafore the committee
and absolyed President Mckinley from
ull Dldlilc III int IIlittert aEu asSutIlSu
the burden OF the responsibility for the
presence OF United States troops in the
mining camps to put down the riots.
Lentz and Sulzer would not have It
that way. but twisted the testimony
adduced to suit their partisan ends and
attempted to make political capital out
of the distressing conditions that pre-
vailed in Idaho. Lentz has been pun
lshed by being retired to that seclusion
from which he never should have
sprung. Sulzer has been returned
through the Ubiquitous domination OF
Croker and Tammany Hall. But he will
be lonely in the next house OF fepresen-
tatives-oh. so lonely.

The Orator and the Hearer.


Chicago Tribune: Directly In front of
the spellbInder sat an elderly and earn
est looking man In the plain, substan-
tIal garb of an honest farmer and to
him the orator addressed his next re-
marks:
my friend" he said did you see
the item In the papers this morning
about the immense stock OF gold In the
Golfers OF the government"
You bet did," replied the honest
old farmer.
"over $3.50. 0OO.Ooo Think OF it! Nearly
half Il billion dollars wrung from the
Taxpayers OF this trust-ridden country.
Wrung from your toll ana sweat. old
man! Four hundred and fifty million
dollars In gold! How much gold have
you been able to save during the last
four years of Republican mlsrule. my
Woodworking friend?"
1--WE saved my share mister" said
the elderly ngrlculturist. In a most I'M
compromising manner. Don't worry
about that. And all the other money
I've got Is rs good as. the gold. Go on
with your shoutin' and don't pay no
attention to me. I'll get along"
Which served In some degree to dis
sipate the spell previously laid upon
the audience by the binder.

The Protective Tariff

The fact must not be lost sight of that
the protective tariff had much to d.
with the victory secured by Mckinley
and Roosevelt last Tuesday. The Ding.
ley bill recalled into renewed. activity
the mills, furnaces end workshops of
the country which were closed by tina;
disastrous Democratic free trade expert
ment. the Wllson-Gorman bill
The prosperity which did SO much to
aid In the defeat OF Bryan was founded
on the rock OF protective tariff. With
out the blessings of material comfort
the people were enjoying there would
have been discomfort: II there had been
empty stomachs Instead OF full dinner
pals brought about by the beneflcent
effects OF the Dinghy measure, another
story might have been told. 1t gave the
people an opportunity to earn Il living
that was denied them under Cleveland's
administration, and the people rcmem-
berd it.

Confederate Home.

Richmond Dispatch: 1t Is heroic
purpose and benilccnt spirit which
have led the women OF this city to
provide home here for needy mothers
or widows or sisters or daughters Of
Confederate soldiers.
They have counted the cost. and
know how much OF their time and labor
will be required to sustain the move
mcnt, but nothing cnn. daunt them nor
aught tire their efforts. They have
opened the home In modest way, but
with the help they may reasonably
count upon from the public they will be
able to enlarge Its capacity aud useful
ness In the near future.
Nothing Is more characteristic OF our
civilization than the care OF the aged
md sick: our hospitals and our homes
for the aged poor are among the chief
glorlcs of the era In which we live.
Through many years our women have
labored unscliishly In building moHu-
mcnts TO our dead and In establishing
sold!crs homes. and II Is only at tho
last moment they have bcthuught
Themselves to Rsk anything for their

a Merited Rebuke.

New York Clipper: One night when
Mr.. Otis Skinner was playing in Rose
mary" at Memphis, Tenn. several Of
the boxes were occupied by a gay box
of party consisting of the smart young
set OF the city. There was great deal
Of talking and laughing going on In
the boxes during the play, hut at which
FIR. Skinner took no offensc, making al
lowance for their youth and eNube-ance.
The production was an unusual sue
cess. and the actor was called before
the curtain in q speech which he mod
estly delivered In few words and low
voice. After the performance the
party came on the stage to congra tu-
late the company. One Of the young
ladies said to the hero:
"Oh. Mr.. Skinner why didn't you
speak louder when you made your
speech?--wc could scarcely hear 4 word
you said.''
THAT Is strange" gently retorted the
actor. II heard almost every word that
you sald." .G5l.gy--...

Paid Speakers.

The day Of the professional campaign
speaker hns probably passed for the peo-
pie ARE on to- the paid campaign ora
tor. It Is just that 4 speakers expenses
should be paid, and recompensc made
for loss Of time In any business or pro-
fesslon. he may be engaged in. What
the people heed Is the words Of 4 man
whose heart Is In the cause he advo-
Gates, not the orator who talks for so
much per night.
These reflections lead to the sad dis
closrre in Bourke Cockran's case. He
was paid. 1, Is unfortunate that this Is
so, for Mr.. Cochran Is one of the most
brilliant orators in America to day. and
= It is a sad thing that any man should
prostitute his talents In this line. Carl
Schurz, who also advocated Bryan's
cause. this year. was the first man In the
history of American politics to demand
and receive money for making political
speeches. Years ago It is related that
Roscoe ConklIng created a sensation in
the senate by accusing Schurz Of speak
Ing for pay. Schurz, then United States
senator from Missouri, denied the
charge, but Conkling COMPOUNDED him
by producing the receipts he had signed.
IN 1886 Cochran received $500 speech
and expenses from the Republicans.
This year he raised his price 500, which
the Republican committee refused to
pay. On the decllnation of his offer
Cochran is said to have retorted that he
could secure $500 from the Democrats.
He got 1t.
Commenting on the pay habit con-
trac.ed by speakers of this class. the
Cincinnati Times Star claims that Mr..
Bryan is also an offender In this respcct.
It says that "his campaign ne,ted him
about $50, 900 according to those who
keep run OF such matters He delivered
no speech during the campaign without
recompense. The price was graded. ac-

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
Extra Months Salary of Congress EN-
ployes-Mr. Schrader explains.

Washington. June 14.-The Post pub
fishes an article stating that the repub-
lican congressional committee has been
endeavnring to collect as campaign
contribution a part Of the extra months
salary voted to the employees Of congress
just before adjournment The employees
We're informed that any contribution
would be voluntary and many Of them
paid no attention to the communlca-
tion, while others made a small contribu-
tiOn, SO that the amount collected Will
not exceed $1,000 or $1,50O, instead Of So
600 or more as has been expected The
extra months salary voted to employees
Of congress in accordance with custom
observed by both political parties when
in power amounted in the aggregate to
about 1000. The republican employees
were requested by note to call on Mr..
Schrader at the Raleigh hotel. Mr..
Schrader was assistant secretary OF the
congressional committee in the last
campaign. When the employees called
they were asked for campaign contribu-
amounts We're answered with the sug-
gestion that half of their extra months
pay would be acceptable, but that contrl-
buttons would be voluntary and the
giver could fix the amount. The amount
given ran all the way from S. to $40, IN
one instance, the Post says, to whole
months salary.
Many employees learning from others
the purpose Of tne note sent them, did
not call, SO that the total contribution
was much smaller than expected. Mr..
Schrader when seen regarding the mat
ter made the following statement:
II think no man who has made any
contribution to the campaign will say
that he has been subjected to tine least
coercion, morally or otherwise. No one
has been asked to contribute any stated
sum or any portion Of his salary, and If
any such statements have been made.
they were made by persons who have
not, SO far, visited these headquarters.'

crossing the conductor heard the sound
of an approaching train. Looking ahead
he saw by the signal lights that the
gates were down. AS the car failed to
stop he pulled the bell rope and shouted
to the motorman. He received no an
Fswer. The watchman at the crossing,
thinking that the motorman had lost
control of his car. raised the gates in
hopes the car would cross the tracks be-
for, the locomotive could dispute the
right of way. His calculations were
right, for the car just managed to clear
the crossing in safety. The glaring light
from the engines headlight as it swept
across the faces of the passengers and the
unusual jarring in crossing the railroad
tracks caused panic in the car. AS soon
as the crossing had been passed the con-
ductor rushed to the front of the car,
where he shut off the current and found
the motornan lying on the platform
dead.
