New York Press: The simple truth
is that there are in New York SO large
number of Republicans who will not
vote for Platt candidates or have any
thing to do with Plattism that Plat
nomination spells individual defeat
and party disaster. Yet Plattism,
either infatuated with its idea of
dummy candidates or because it actu-

An Issue No Longer Feared.

Savannah News: Secretary Cages
recent interview in which he said it
would be possible for Mr.. Bryan, if
elected, to overthrow the gold stan
dard, is believed to be the last effort
of the Republicans to force the silver
issue to the front. The Republican
apathy in the east, Of which Mr.. Hanna
has found so much, is evidently due
to the fact that that issue is no longer
feared.

Running Behind Rapidly

Omaha WorldHerald: The draughts
from the Philippine war are steadily
increasing, while the Chinese campaign
is making heavy inroads into the treas
ury. During the month of August the
cost of running the government was
nearly $1,000,000 more than the re-
ceipts from all sources. To realize the
full import of this loss it should be re-
membered that during August a year
ago there was surplus in the treasury
of $4.500.000. The relative loss, there
fore, is more than s5.0oo,OOO for the
past month.

The Manufacture of omce..

From the Portland Argus: The Of
fetal records show that the last con-
gress made a net increase of 2,27O in
the number of new offices, involving
an extra annual salary expense of
s5,234,663 Besides all this, 479 old Of
ficers secured an increase in salaries,
These figures are wholly apart from
the many generously paid commits

publicans are giving free scope to their
mania for creating new offices.

YOUNGSTOWN (Pa.) Democrat: Armed

The president has thus repaid party
debts to the Standard Oil monopoly.

be the only state dominated by federal

Natives Want the Canal,

Ex-President zaldwar, of Salvador,
who recently came to Washington as
minister of that country, says the peo-
pie down there want an interoceanic
canal as badly as the United States,
and they prefer the Nicaragua route
because it would give Salvador an At

which it has not at present.

Atlanta Journal: When our govern

pressly pledged itself not to exercise
sovereignty, jurisdiction or control
over that island. The Cubans now
see our government proposing a de-

and practically declaring that it will

They Knew the Trick.

He said he did not know how to
play poker scientifically, but his
friends persuaded him into the game.
He played with varying success until
fat jackpot showed up.
AS the novice awkwardly fingered
his cards he asked:
Are four cards with just one spot
on each one of 'em worth anything?"
At this juncture it would be the us
ual thing to remark that all of the
other players threw down their hands
and let the novice take the pot with
out further trouble. But candor COM
