That st. Louis Republicans have sincerity in
charging that election frauds determined the recent

ever have been taken towards inauguratng contests.
The Republican State Committee intends not to press

The Republican City Committee is likewise inert and
announces definite purpose.
Mr. Reynolds says that he has not given the matter
thought and he will not positively state that he be-

MADE DOUBLY SURE.

For time preceding election silence was enforced
upon the rabd friends of protection while the
Cabinet spebinders were busy allaying the uneasl-
ness of Republican voters the score of too much
protection to trusts. But that the election has
done away with necessity for silence the voices of the
friends" resound with force that shocks the ear.
Voters are not to be feared couple of years and
Republican Congressman returning to Washington are
tumbng each other to declare amity with pro-
lection, which in this instance amity with the
trusts. THE great and small hut rarely meet on
terms of amity complete but this is time when
they do and the meeting is marked by en-
braces.
These congressman. emboldened that the
party is temporarily out of danger would to be
mocllng the voter. Why" exclams Mr.. Warner of
Illinois. Il heard tariff revision mentioned dur
ing the campagn"-a statement that calls to mind
Mark Hanna's saying that he had heard of 4
trust III be drawn and quartered,' says Mr.. But
Ter of Pennsylvania, before I'll vote for revi
SION" Senator Beveridge speaks of a determined
fight against revision. Equally positive is Senator
Scott Those who will consider revision at all speak
Of it only conditionally and with apparent humor
None but the friends" shall undertake revision in
any event. they say.
There never has been and never could be any doubt
as to the Republican party's downright intention to
stand pat" True, the campaign expressions of
heads did in some measure convince Republican
that substantial tariff reform the fixed and i'm
mediate intention, but those expressions drowned
the present ouspoken rank opposition any tariff
legislation whatever.
What is the meaning of this overweening haste to
declare and re-emphasize friendship for protection?
Does the abstract principle of protection require such
chorus of reassurances? Certainly 1t isn't the Re
publican voter who requires them. Rather he relies
the tariff revision that promised; he is simply
dazed by the bold change of front.
Obviously these prompt avowals of friendship for
protection" made for purposeto restore
fdence-and it appears that the only things whose
confidence needs restoring the trusts They have
been perhaps trhe nervous because of so much
paign talk of revision. The trusts instantly
assured and for else is reinsurance intended
The Coal Trust and the Oil Trust, which the Presi-
dent inadvertently disturbed in his Cincinnati sp.ch,
need pacfyng, do all the trusts particularly the
two hundred that receive open and direct protection
The phrase friends of protection is rapidly
suming the definite known meaning friends Of the
trusts" That has long been its logical meaning. 1t
much lumined by the avowals of these Republican
Congressmen at the present time.
President Roosevelt may appoint forty committees
to study" the tarf-indeed it is most interesting
thing to study-and to recommend" changes but the
indications are that there will be nothing doing in
tariff legislation until after the next Presidential
election.

AFTER THE CENTRAL.

The reports from New York, pub
lished in our dispatches yesterday, that
the ST. Louis and San Francisco Rail-
way was negotiating for the control of
the Central of Georgia Railway do not
seem TO be credited either here or
there. In fact, according to the COM
ments in our financial reports this
morning the reports were so emphati-
cally denied in New York, by parties
connected with the Central, that the
stock of the st. Louis and San Fran
cisco lost the two or three points it
had gained on the strength of them.
1t has been the talk some time that
the st. Louis and San Francisco road
desired an outlet on the South Allan
tic coast. Its main stem runs from st.
Louis TO Oklahoma City. and it has a
number of important branches. 1t has
close relations with the Kansas City.
Memphis and Birmingham Railway,
and it recently acquired the Chicago
and Eastern Illinois. If, therefore it
should acquire control of the Central
of Georgia it would have a line from
Chicago, and also from st. Louis, to
the seaboard at Savannah.
OF course such a system would be a
great one, and doubtless would bring
a vast amount of traffic to Savannah,
but would Savannah be benefited as
much as she would lose? When the
Savannah, Florida and Western was
merged with the Atlantic Coast Line
Savannah lost the general offices of
the Plant System, and it is probable
that if the Central should be merged
with the St. Louis and San Francisco
she would lose the general offices of the
Central. 1t is probable therefore that
Savannah would lose more than she
would gain by the merging of the two
roads. Assuming that such would be
the case there will be little If any re-
greet here if the reports of the merger
prove to be unfounded.

THE COST OF LIVING.

The Cornhill Magazine of London in
figures and details of the cost of liv-
ing in that city 1t submits an item
lied account showing how a lower
middle-class" English family, consist
ing of husband, wife and two chill
dren, live in London on $3.50 a year.
What "lower middle-c class" means may
be approximately arrived at by the
statement that the head of the family
is cashier in the Office of a London
law firm. The magazine says the
family is not only supplied with a
comfortable house and good food and
clothing, but has something left of the
$3.50 for books and papers, for two
weeks vacation each year, and for life
insurance. House rent costs Sj56 A
year, food about $237 per year or $3.50
per week. clothing for the household
about, s95 per year, and fuel, including
gas, about $40 a year. This leaves
something over, out of the $3.50 annual
salary, for the doctor and for pleas
ure.
Could a family of the same relative
class live in New York for $3.50 Il year
and enjoy equal comforts? AS d mat
ter of fact, could the Cornhin Maya
zines example be duplicated in any
American city of $4,000 population?
We doubt it. There are of course.
numbers of families of four in all
American cities that live on $62. so per
month or less, but they have nothing
to compare with the comforts and
conveniences of the London law cash
ier's home. Now, why is this? The
greatest item of expense in the Lon
don mans household accounts is that
for food. London's food supply is
drawn from the United States. We
raise the wheat and the meats that
go to feed that great city. Does Lon
don buy cheaper than we do? 1t il
pretty certain that the foreigner is
able to purchase our manufactured
products at lower prices than we have
to pay; is it the case that the tariff
and the trusts raise the cost of living
in the United States all along the
line? 1t may be argued that the
Americans tastes are more expensive
than those of the foreigner. That may
be granted; still that has nothing to
do with the procurement of the neces-
sites of life; and it will hardly be
argued that man can secure a com
