Resuit of Republican Control.

The natural and inevitable tends1cy
to extravaganza IN Republican Legis-
latures, of which Maine affords a con
spicuous example, is further illustrated
in Nebraska. Last fall the Republi-
cans redeemed that State and after
ten weeks of control Nebraskans find
their Legislature dominated by cor
porate interests and an era of extrava-
gance inaugurated. A dispatch says
that proposed appropriation for State

Why Mark Hanna Is Boss.

At the present time Mark Hanna is
the very personificatiOn of Republican
ism. He stands for the Capitalization
of wealth and the unlimited license to
classes in return for political fayors.
He is the champion of a foreign pol
icy for the promotion of the interna-
tional interests of the trusts. He is
the defender of any sort of methods
in politics that insure success in cleo
tions and for that reason he is wor-
shipped by Republican politicians, He
is running the machine and he will con-
tinue to run it-IndianapOlis Sentinel

Not the Greatest R1under.

By paying S1OO,OOO to Spain we now
possess whatever title she may have
had to Cagayan. Cibutu and the other
islands in their group. How much it
will cost us to get possession remains
to be seen. We have paid this because
of a blunder of our representatives who
made the treaty of Paris and neglected
to include these islands among those
surrendered by Spain in consideration
of the receipt from us of $20,000,0O0,
but it was not so great a blunder as the
payment of the larger sum.-Philadel-

SUICIDE OR MURDER ?

People of Vermont.
Much mystery surrounds the supposed
murder of Ida Fosburg. at Shoreham
VT 1t is quite certain that she died
from the effects of strychnine which
came in an envelope through the mail.
1t was believed at first that she had or
dered the poison and taker t with sui
cidal intent. Later, circumstantial evil
dence led tie authorities to believe that
some other person, who might have de-
sired her death. had sent the poison to
her and that she had taken it in the be-
lief that it was something else. On this
theory her affianced husband. Aldace
Vondette, was arrested, but after pre-
liminary examination was released. On
a recent evening the greatest surprise in
the case was sprung. Nelson Jones, son
of Merritt Jones, one of the wealthiest
men in the county, was placed under ar
rest.
Miss Fosburg was in the employ Of

that this was replaced with strychnine.
1t is said that two of the most emf

prosecution has nothing stronger than cir
cumstantial evidence it is doubtful if a
conviction will be secured.

TO FIGHT GRAIN POOL.
Kansas Farmers Form Protective Orr
ganiZatIon of Wheat Growers

Every township in Saline County, Kan
sas, is represented in a combine of wheat
growers just formed by the farmers.
They will run their own elevators and
handle their own wheat through their
own stock company. The organization
is formed for protection against the grain
pool which has had the wheat growers at
its mercy. If the pool tries to drive
the combine out of business by Offering
higher than market rates for wheat the
farmers will accept the offer, but will
turn the excess of their receipts over the
regular rates over to their own treas
urer and he will use it to maintain the
elevators while they are idle. Similar
farmers organizations are springing up
all over Kansas.

Getting Ready for More Debt.

Getting Ready for More Debt.
Hawaii when annexed to the United
States was in debt nearly $5000,00O,
not including about $750,000 due on ac-
count of the postal savings system of
the islands. Under the terms of the
resolution of annexation 100000 of
the debt and the postal system ac-
counts are to be paid by the United
States and the Treasury Department
has already set about the task. By the
end of the current fiscal year the Ha-
waiian debt will have been reduced to
a trivial 100000 or 100000, and the
speculative island financiers will have
a clear basis for further schemes in
volving the issue of public obligations.

tfan and many of the evergreens have

sale in such quantities, and SO steadily
sought by frequenters of suburban

care be used to cut rather than pull
the flowers, so that the roots need not
be disturbed; and that those who

should be discouraged by lack of
