speculation, bur Il Mr.. Roosevelt follows
any precedents ne will select a New
England man.
The Senate IS actively engaged in
discussing the MEASURE popularly
known as the Saip-subsldy BIZ. If
the bill becomes a law it will increase
the annual expenses of the government
by several millions of dollars but the
republicans claim that the advantages
to be derived will more than offset any
increase in the government outlay.
The democrats on the other hand,
pronounce the measure an exnrava-
CANT and unnecessary form Of leglsla-
ton. From a n%on-partisan standpoint
the bill seems to be clearly in line with
the republican policy of the past and
simply an extension of the protective
principle to the owners Of vessels. 1t
will be discussed until the 18th, Of
the month and will be made the occa-
sion Of much lurld oratory on both
sides Of the Senate. Senator Hanna
has already broken his long period Of
silence to give his views on the sub
ject and he presented a most striking
appearance as he did so. Mr.. Hanna
finds speech making a stupendous and
heating undertaking and when he had
concluded his speech he remarked.
mopping his brow, as he took his seat,
"Therel | think that effort alone
earned me my salary for this session.
The house is still debating the ques-
ton as to whether the rural mail routes
shall be carried by salaried employees
or by those persons who submit the
lowest bids for the work to be done
and the matter will come % a vote to-
day. There have been presented able
arguments on both sides Of the ques-
ton but | believe that a majority in the
Senate favor the salary system. At
least, all the Western senators to
whom have talked on the subject
have SO expressed themselves.
The President has signed the bill
making the Census Bureau a perma-
nent part Of the governmental machine
ry but. by what appears to have beer a
predetermined arrangement between
the White House and the Conference
Committee. the President is authorized
to exclude from the classified service
all those persons whose services will
not be required in the permanent or
%ganization. The discovery Of this fact
has caused no little indignation at the
Capitol for 1t means the discharge be-
tween nov and July lst.. Of some /,
200 clerks. all of whom are protegees
Of members of Congress.

A DEMOCRATIC MISTAKE.
So-CaIIcd Leaders of the Party De
Not Read the Right Dope ON the
Philippine Question.

The Nashville American, one of the
prominent democratic newspapers of
the country, has no deluSions as to
the Philippine question. AIluding to
the situation as developed at Wash
ington, where certain democratic
senator's and representatives have as
sumed an attitude of hostility to the
administration policy in the islands,
the American remarks: "If the ques-
tion of surrendering the Philippines
is not made the leading or leading
issue in the next national campaign,
it will not be the fault of some of
the senator's of the democratic mi
noritv. 1t seems to be the miSfOr-
tune of the democratic party that it
has fallen into a condition in which
it is possible for those to assume to
be leaders, and to be so recognized,
who, in better and bravcr days of
the party would have been among
the last to be selected as material
for leadership" And then it adds:
"If such leadership, If it is leadership, IS
to continue and is to be followed, the party
will be finally forced to put up its shutters
and go out of business or else continue as
the sad remnant and enfeebled ghost OF
once great and powerful party. The mis-
takes and blunders of the last two cam
paigns seem to have taught nothing to
some of those who aspire to be leaders or
who assume to speak for the party. Is II
because they are incapable of learning? or

To the query. where are all the
square pianos Of so years ago gone
i x,,, sa - to-" fremont
street dealer re-
' De sponded the other
day in the Boston Transcript with a
story of the great potato crop in Maine
a few years back. A skipper from the
far-down Maine coast arrived in Bos-
ton with solid load of the big Aroo-
stock tubers. For return cargo he
took down a full load of old Boston
square pianos. The dealer had cleared
off his entire stock of four-legged in
struments, of all degrees of decrepi-
tude, that had been taken in exchange
and part payment for many years. and
had even scurried about among other
dealers to fill up the schooner's hold
and deck. The Aroostook potatoes
were thus presently transmitted into
pianofortes. Some of them were sold
at a profit by the enterprising skip
per at extremely low prices. In some
cases the tones of the aged strings
were lower still-so much so that the
Machiasport Orpheus was soon
obliged to make restitution or stand
suit for peddling pianos under false
pretenSeS.

\ tenor singer, who declares that his
throat and lungs were so irritated and
injured by smoke in the atmosphere
that he could not fill a professional
engagement, recently brought suit
against the city of st. Louis to compel
it to abate the smoke nuisance forth
with. On the same day the statement
was printed another dispatch an
nounced that certain firms in Chi
cago are being fined regularly" for
permitting their factory chimneys to
transgress the ordinance. The smoke
clouds that overhang most communi-
ties are offensive to every sense, de-
structiye to property and dangerous to
health, and the wonder is that the
needless nuisance, so easily rem
ediable, should so long have been toll
crate.
