We Know Them.
From the St. Louis Republic.

There is no solid reason to believe that
the American public, resentful as it is of
the fact of official corruption in the Ha-
vana postal department, has at any time
been disposed to include American army
officers stationed in Cuba in its condemna-
tion Of the service responsible for the
Nicely scandal
Between the American army officer and
the American carpet-bagger there is so
vast difference that the two are not likely
to become confused in the public mind.
Governor General Wood and his fellow
officers need have no fear that they are
tainted in the public mind with the rotten
ness Of corruption now attaching to the
Nicely gang of looters. The American
people are not so quick to charge dishonor
to brave men who fight their country's
battles 1t is the skulking camp-follow-
es, who crowd in to rob and steal when
the fighting is done, that constitute the
et-bag outfit now disgracing the Amer
lean name in Cuba.

A Short Story in Figures.
From the New York World.


The ordinary annual expenditures of the
Government averaged in President Harri-
sons term 1851, 291, 1923.
They averaged in President Cleveland s
second term $3.50, 418, $40.
They have averaged in President Nc
Kinley's term s514, 4s0, 254
The cost of running the Government is
thus seen to have been increased by nearly
s154, 600, 900 year ever since Mr. Nc
Kinley was inaugurated. And this is not
accounted for by the extraordinary dis
bursements of the war, which are not in
Guided in these Ordinary expenditures. :"
The outlay for war is separate matter,
and it accounts for the increase Of the
public debt by 5000, 900, 600 since Mr..
McKinley's Inauguration.
The financial record of the Administra-
ton may therefore be summed up in a
sentence. 1t has added nearly s13, 900, :
900 month to the regular running ex-
penses of the Government and added 81. 10
per capita to the national burden of debt.

Alleged Antitrust Measure Beaten.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The House of
Representatives today, after lively de-
bate extending over two days, defeated
the joint resolution proposing Constitu-
tional amendment empowering Congress to
regulate trusts. 1t requires a two-thirds
vote under the Constitution to adopt an
amendment to the Constitution. The vote
stood Yeas, 154; nays, 131. The af-
frmative vote, therefore, was thirty eight
short of the requisite two-thirds, 1872.
Four Democrats Messrs. Campbell, of
Montana; Naphen, of Massachusetts;
Scudder, of New York, and Thayer, Of
Massachusetts-and one Silverite-Mr
Newlands, of Nevada-voted with the Re-
publicans for the resolution, and two Re
publicans- MIR. Loud, of California, and
Mr.. Mccall, of Massachusetts, the
Democrats against it. These were the
only breaks from party lines. The Popn-
lists voted solidly against the resolution.
The debate preceding the vote had
strong political flavor throughout, and was
at times very personal Each party ac-
cused the other of inconsistency and of
playing for political effect in its attitude on
tie bill, Mr.. Lentz, of Ohio, declaring
that the proposed Constitutional amend
ment was fraud. The features were the
closing speeches of Mr.. Dearmond, of Mis-
souri,, and Mr.. Littlefeld, of Maine, for
the respective sides, and the short speech
of Mr.. Mccall, of Massachusetts, against
the resolution.
Mr.. Mccall has distinguished himself
before during this session in opposing the
action Of his colleagues on the Porto Rican
BILL His action today was unherald, and
attracted the more attention.

Assault on the Federal judiciary.

From the Philadelphia Ledger Republican.
The nomination by President Mckinley
of John r. Hazel to be Judge of the
United States Conrt for the District of
Western New York has become a national
question, as it deserves to be- Hazel is
mere politician, who was recommended for
the place by Boss Platt and his Senatorial
Man-Friday, Depew. and recent history
does not afford an example of any appoint
ment that is more dangerous or repreh en-
sible than this. 1t is no new thing for
lightweight politicians to receive appoint
ments to responsible positions for which
they are wholly unfit; but the grave con-
sequences of placing incompetent men of
doubtful character upon the Federal
Bench have usually been so obvious as to
serve as a restraint upon the most partisan
Presidents in recent years. Fortunately
the Bar of New York, the people and the
newspapers, without regard to party affili-
ations, are thoroughly aroused and intensely
indignant at this assault upon the standing
and character of the Judiciary, and are con-
Quoting such vigorous and spirited cru
SADIE against this glaringly and grossly
unfit nomination that Platt' and Depew's
henchman may not be foisted upon the
judiciary. On Thursday the New York
Bar Association, after making careful and
thorough investigation, took formal action
by passing the following resolution:
Resolved, That Judged by the stand
ard of judicial requirement which this as
ISOLATION has repeatedly adopted, that the
career of candidate for judicial Office
should furnish unmistakable evidence of
capacity and fitness to dischare its duties,
this association does not deem John R.
Hazel fit candidate for the Office of Dis
trict Judge, and is of opinion that his
nomination should not be confirmed
The nomination Is in the hands of the
Judiciary Committee of the United States
Senate, and the fact revealed to that COM
mittee at the hearings given on the sub
ject during the past ten days make the
fact clear to everybody that the elevation
of Hazel to the Federal Bench would be a
disgrace and grievous misuse of the ap-

A BREATH OF MAY.
Written for the Democratic Advocate,
BYo. C. sHIPLEY.

A breath of May comes DER the hills
On wings of the balmy air:
With scent of yiolets and dahodils,
And the pine trees incense rare
In the woods the robins noie hear.
The whir of a ployer's wing;

The sunniest dream Of SPRING
dream that the dear old days again
Have returned to you and to me;
The years between. with their load OF pain,
Have never been. Again sec
The old farmhouse nesting mid the hills
The sweet of the apple bough's shade;
And o, how my heart with rapture thrills
As your hand in mine is laid.
Together in the youth OF the year
Hand in hand beside the stream
We seek wild flowers. to both so dear
Alas it is but a dream.
Waking. know you are far away
From the scenes to both once dear;
New Engand's hills on your vision to-day
Loom up, while I'm lonely here.
So Mays sweet breath and song of birds
Awaken within my soul
Feelings cannot weave in words
Feelings that mock control.
And yet It's sweet, such happy dream,
This sunny day in May,
Where snowy dogwood blossoms CLEAN.
Where mimic cascades play Nay 5h-
