SENATOR Hanna. chairman Of the
republican national committee, pre-
diets the denomination and election
of President Mckinley From care
full investigation he expects the re-
publicans to carry all of the states
that were republican four years ago.
Besides this he says: We have
reason to believe that the Republi-
cans will carry Kansas, South Da.
kota and Washington, which went
for Bryan four years ago. while our
chances are excellent I am informed
by Senators Shoop and Carter, of
winning Idaho and Montana, the
states which they represent in the
senate.
Altogether am pleased with the
outlook which could not be more en-
couraging than it is. -

The Tomahawk and Rhinelande,
people sent great quantities of trail
ing arbutus to Milwaukee Sunday.
and the newspaper offices of that
city distributed it among the people.
After Brother Greyson and the
other good people of Tomahawk had
very nearly broken their backs
picking several million bushels OF
the northern Wisconsin flower the
Evening Wisconsin showed it's IN
gratitude by saying there was not
enough of it, and spoke sluringly OF
northern Wisconsin. The great
trouble with the Wisconsin and a
lot of it's Milwaukee friends is that
it fails to appreciate anything ex-
cept that which is shipped in kegs
and has internal revenue stamps on
it.

If John w. Gates, of the American
Steel and Wire company can be
convicted of giving out false inform
alton in regard to his company, it
will afford starting point for a
whole lot of reform in the manage
ment of trusts, by showing that the
existing laws are adequate to compel
their managers to deal honestly with
the public. Gates it is alleged first
gave out information showing a
favorable condition of affairs, there
by inducing his friends and the pub
lie to buy the company's stock; then
he Immediately followed the first re-
port with second, showing an un-
favorable condition, whereupon the
price of the stock sank rapidly. 1t
is alleged that Gates ''sold short" on
the first report. and "coyered his
shorts" at a huge profit on the sec
ond report. IT this can be estab-
lished, it furnishes the motive for
his action and reveals it's essential
dishonesty. BUT the trusts ought
to be compelled to make honest
statements of their affairs without
reference to the effect upon specula-
tive values. Solvency and publicity
should be required of all capitalistic
combinations. If every dollar of
stock was compelled to represent a
dollar of investment, and honest and
accurate statements of business ex-
acted, the public could not be very
badly swindled. Minneapolis Fri

SHOTS FROM EXCHANGES.

And now another resolution seems
to be impending. The automobile
threatens to run the street car out
just as the moter run the horse car
off the track. It is as desirable as
it seems to be possible. Great as is
the convenience of the street car, it
has some serious drawbacks. In
nearly every case the franchise is a
job put up on the city granting it.
Tearing up streets. putting in cables
or trolleys, laying the track and re-
paving, then keeping in repair IN
volve an immense cost to the people.
Automobiles or horseless carriages
are now expensive it is true. But
there is no tearing up Of pavements,
no stringing of the dangerous troll
lev and 10 inconvenient track spoil
inc the street. The horseless CARR
age threads it's way almost noislessly
wherever a horse could take a
buggy. It receives and discharges
passengers at curbstones and has no
dangerous crossings. While au-
tomoblles are now expensive the con
slant improvements are cheapening
the cos as has been the case with
bicycles. A few years ago good
servicable "bike'' cost 1925, now
they can be had for a little more
than one third of that amount.
Costly as they are. now, horseless
carriages are being used for delivery
wagons: baggage trucks and pleas
ure driving. Several companies
have tried the experiment of using
them for passenger traffic and with
such success that they announce
their purpose to extend their sys-
TENS indefinitely. 1t may be that
only few years hence the street
car will follow the horse car into
oblivion, If so, it will be welcome
fact. -Medford Star & News.

FOR THE GALLERIES.

1t Is to be hoped the galleries arc nav
ing cIose attention to the epistolary ex-
change between Perry Heath and The
president with Charles Emory Smith as
lnterlocutor, for there has seldom bear
more studied attempt to make a. pro-
found impression over hill of neanu+s
AS first assistant postmaster general
Mr.. Heath has been uncomfortabvv cit
uated with reference to the Cubar rost
al scandals and also with reference to
a bank In New York with which his
brother is connected. Nicely. the star
thief of the Cuban gang, possesses MANY
touching evidences of the devotion of his
dear friend Heath, said evidences being
in the shape of letters. Some were writ
ten by Heath direct to Nicely. and others
from the same hand were addressed to
the head OF the Cuban postal department,
Rathbone. They all breathe the same
spirit OF admiration for Nicely, but those
addressed to Rathbone in an officiat wav
are the more interesting to the public.
In these Mr.. Heath has invariably made
fatterfng mention of Nelly, and it is q
fact that in four of them the recommen-
dalton is made that NeeIy's salary he
increased. That Rathbone accepted these
recommendations as orders from his su-
perior officer is well indicated by the
fact that Neely's salary was increased
four times. 1t was $1,000 at the outset
and $1,000 when the exposure came The
arrest Of Nicely brought searching in
quiry into his antecedents and his ''pull."
1t was found that his antecedents had
been vouched for by Heath and no
questions asked, and that his ''puII''
was located in the office of the first
assistant postmaster general. Any one
with half an eye could see that the trial
of the Cuban thieves, if it ever takes
place, would prove most uncomfort-
able and distasteful thing for Mr. Heath
as first assistant postmaster general, and
also would do the administration no
good with Mr.. Heath in the office. He
wanted to get out and the administration
wanted him out. feather bed was
found for him to fall on in the Repubu
can national committee, and he fell.
holding in his hands written assurances
of most distinguished esteem and regret
from the president and the postmaster
general.
The acting has been superb. but it is
not likely to deceive great many per-
sons. When the president assures Mr..
Heath that he had hoped to have his
valuable services to the end of the adj
ministration. and is greatly disappoint-
ed to see him step out at this t.raa. he
no doubt tells the truth according 20 his
own personal meaning. while giving the
statement another meaning for the ben
eft of the galleries. Mckinley means

AVOIDING THE ISSUE.

What 1t (the public is interested in 20
that there shall be an end to the into,,i+-
Gus practice Of making the police depart-
ment roosting place for active partisans
instead of active and competent patrol
men. Outside Of a handful of politicians
who swarm about the city hall and mako
q deal of noise there is no one who cares
now many Democrats or how many Re-
pubhcans there are on the force so long
as they do not let their politics interfere
with the discharge of their duties. But
when they see the board deliberately at
tempting by every means in its power TO
override the plain intent of the law and
to perpetuate the evils that have made
the police force the most inefficient de-
partment Of the city government, 1t is
only natural that their sympathies should
not be with the benef1ciaries of this
high-handed policy. 1t is to be hoped
that this phase of the commissions pow
ers will be called to the attention Of The
courts without delay. That a stop wa
be put to the remarkable assumption Of
the commission there can be little dsubt.'
These are the conclusions arrived at
by our contemporary. the Pioneer gress.
in a review of the police situation which
it opens with an expression OK % regret
that the supreme court should not In
its recent decision have construed the
powers Of the commission VIA reference
to dismjssaIs among the rank and file Of
thu force.
Our contemporary regrets IN matters
of tbs general character usually find
expression as the occasion may demand
and not at all as the result of its sur
charged feelings. For four years, if
not longer. 1t PNys, the police depart
ment has bce~ made "a roosting place
for active Phtisans very regrottable
circumstance in itself, but one which
during shat period of four years has
never ]ufficed to evoke from 1t a single
expression Of condemnation or regret

strong suspicion OF crocodile tears

topics to occasion surprise. The adInis-

that he had hoped that nothing would
occur in the administration of the postal
department to interfere with Mr.. Heath's
tenure as first assistant postmaster gen
eral. and the postmaster general.
Charles Emory Smith means exactly the
same thing when he indorsaa III, rro,,
dents letter. The scarcity of material
for the secretaryship of the Republican
national committee was not so great as
TO demand the resignation of Mr.. Heath
in order to properly fill the position. and
the pretense surrounding the case is very
gauzy
1t is to be hoped that now the prosecu-
ton OF Nicely and his companions in
thievery can proceed There is no one
