Senator Depew recently read GALE
fully prepared speech in favor Of rati.
fcation Of the Panama treaty. He
took part in the debate, it appears, as
a railroad man rather than as a sena-
tor to assure the country that the
railroad interests are not opposed to a
transisthmian canal, as has been so
often alleged, but are in favor of it as
calculated to stimulate all kinds of
business, the railroads sharing, Of
course, in the great.increase of traffic.
No doubt the roads will be more bene-
flied than injured by the canal, but
whether their managers generally
agree with Mr.. Depew in this respect
is not so certain.

load in the riot bullet, designed for
purpose Of suppressing riots only.
The regular charge kills at three

Itseems that both parties in To-
dianapolis have machines that have
decided to select candidates for city
officers seven months before the cleo
ton, after notice of only few days
which gives the people no chance to
have voice in the nominations. All
the newspapers of Indianapolis are
protesting in vain against such pro-
ceedings, but if the people find that
none of the candidates suit them they
will have plenty Of time six months
from now to place a better ticket in
the field and elect them on the day of
election.

crookedness ia connection with the
operations of get-rich quick concerns.
1t is alleged that certain employees in
the law Office of the department have
profted by Rulings which have been
made in favor of the companies. Many
republican and some democratic
papers are declaring before any In
vestigation has been made that these
charges are without any foundation
because the officials whom they affect
have been in Office many years. While
we hope the charges are not true the
fact that man has been in Office
thirty or forty years is no proof of the
contrary. Our civil service laws which

DEAR SIR; What is lumber worth:

paint. They ask: "What'll you'll

The proper answer is: 81 want
the best paint put on it ought to

That's Devoe; but the usual answer
is: 81 want good job; but I want
it cheap" Which means: / want you
to paint it for nothing. 1 want to be
fooled.

there is: not the best; it used to be the
best. Devoe is best, since zinc came
in: Devoe Ready Paint.
Zinc teughens the lead and doubles
its wear.
Zinc costs no more than lead; and
we grind by machinery.
We have no patent on zinc; but no.
body else is treating it right. Devoe
is your paint.
