REMEDY LIES IN TARIFF
FOR REVENUE ONLY IDEA
Richardson VIII Attempt to Gain ths
Floor Today and Explain Demo-
cratic Fllibuster - Done to
Force Antitrust Laws.
BY wATTERsoN srEALEY.

washington, March 1.-(speeial)-Rep-
resentative Livingston of Georgia, the
ranking democrat of the house appropria-
tions committee, made the statement to-
night that the appropriations for the
Fifty-senventh congress. which closes on
Wednesday, would show a minimum ag-
gregate of two billions of dollars.
"There are" said Mr.. Livingson. sew
eral of the greatest appropriation bills
now in conference. My understanding Is
that the senate has added heavily to
them To what extent we are as yet
unable to learn, but 1t seems to me that
the appropriations of this session Will
not fall far below those OF the last ses-
slon and | look to see two billions OF
dollars of the peoples money appro-
priated by the present congress since It's
meeting In December 1901. The last ses-
sion appropriated directly and author
lied expenditures amounting to $,069,-
567052. This amount included $1SO,0OOOOO
for the construction of the isthmian ca
nal.
Reckless Extravaganza.
"It all goes to show the reckless ex-
travagance of the republican party. As
long as there is a big surplus in the
treasury the republicans seem to think
it their duty to spend as much of 1t as
possible Before they get through with
1t there will be little remaining to eK-
pend. 1t is my belief that the people of
the country will think over this financial
situation and register their protest at
the elections next year.
ut is all well enough to talk about
two billion dollar country but IL the
republican party had run through ap-
preparations amounting to ten billion dol
| lars they would fall back upon the same
argument and call us a ten billion dollar
country. A big surplus of Idle money in
| the treasury and the temptation to spend
| 1t is really the cause of the enormous
appropriations. Primarily the remedy lies
in reduction of this surplus and tho
democratic doctrine of tariff for rev.
enue only affords the remedy l look tt
see the extravaganza of the republican
party play an important part In the next
campaign. Some of these appropriations,
probably the greater part of them, are
absolutely unjustitiable. and l believe
that the people are not going to be fooled
by the two billion dollar country cry
that the republicans are going to raise"

BLOOMINGTON'S RAILWAY SHOPS
Her Citizens Trying to Prevent Their Re-
moval to Other Cities Which
Want Them.

Bloomington, ILL.,, Dec. 8.-The city
council of Bloomington and committee
of the Business Mems association have
gone to Chicago to confer with Presi-
dent s. M. FELTON,, of the Chicago and
Alton relative to saving the vast car
shops to this city.
The company seeks a large amount
of additional land in the resident dis
trict adjoining the plant, and the large
price asked by owners and objection
to closing various streets to traffic may
result in the removal Of the shops il
conditions demanded by the road are
not complied with.
Springfield, Lincoln, Normal, Pontiac
and other cities are making an effort
to secure the shops. Two thousand
men are employed, with a pay roll Of
100000 monthly.

How to deal with Mormonism
will be a political issue at no dist
ant date. Mormonism has shown
that it is far beyond the point where
one man could injure it. 1t is
growing and prospecting. The Nor
mons are more firmly united, are
more aggressive, and are in every
way stronger than ever. Some
thing should be done. A conflict
may come just as the conflict with
slavery came, and when it does
come we may expect to see a large
party favoring and aiding the Nor
mons in order to secure their polit-
ical help. The intensity of parti-
sanship to which we are tending, is
certain to produce this. When we
see men encouraging all sorts of
violations of law, we know just
what to expect when the time comes
for polygamy to assert itself.

The Herald is out to help the
carriers in any honest effort to
better the conditions under which
they have to work. Millions of
city people enjoy the benefits of
two or three mail deliveries day
simply because they live in the
city among the heavy users of the
mails who make free delivery pos
sible. Country people are as much
entitled to the bounty Of the gov
eminent as their friends in the city,
and it seems just as much the duty
of the government to make rural
delivery possible as it is to extend
the service in the cities. The rural
mail service can not be made what
it should be unless the carriers are
epaid adequately for their service.
SO keep after more pay.

While the writer has no desire to
look on the dark side of things, no
reasonable man can doubt that the
past few months have witnessed
and emphasized q tendency toward
retrenchment of enterprise, imita-
ton to the out-reaching tendencies
of business and more or less serious
disposition on the part of manufact-
urers to curtail the output until
things in the labor world are little
more settled These things are
having some effect on general bust
ness in it's curtailment. 1t is un-
fortunate that this condition is COM
ing just before winter, because in
the center of population a great
many people are idle in the winter,
and this number will be increased
by the disposition to limit produc
ton The charity bill of large cities
promises to be much larger than it
was last year even with the scarcity
of coal at that time. 1t behOOves
every man who is receiving wage
to lay aside little of his income
each week to meet the possibilities
of the future, even if these possibil
tiles are not forthcoming to the
extent of the loss of employment,
as the money will come good at an
other time and the enjoyment OF it
will be augmented by the fact that
it comes in a lump.

SHAD0WED BY WOOD
Complaint Made by a United
States Officer of the Gov
ernor General.
ISSUE OF VERkCITY rs Up AGAIN
News from Panama Considered I'm.
pOrtant-President Refuses
to Intervene in
Colorado.

Washington, Dec. 8. = The senate
committee OH military affairs resumed
it's hearing in the case of General
Leonard Wood with Commander Lucien
Young, of the navy, on the stand.
Commander Young was subpoenaed by
the committee at the request of Major
RathbOne. Much testimony was
brought out nj relations to the charge
that General Wood, after assuming his
duties as governor general of Cuba,
employed detectives not connected
with the army to- shadow certain army
officers and report their actions.
Says Wood Had Him Shadowed.
Commander Young testified that he
was captain of the port of Havana and
commander of the naval station. In
the first position he was subordinate
to General Wood but in the latter was
in no way amenable to Woods or
ders. The witness said he discovered
detectives shadowing him, and upon
investigation learned that General
Tasker HI. Bliss, General Charles f.
Humphrey and Major e. Laid also
were followed by detectives. He as
serted that he knew the detectives
were in the pay Of General Wood.
Issue of veracity Again Appears.
In rference to his recall from the
post of Havana, Commander Young
said he was assured by General Wood
that he was very sorry, and was una"
BILE to understand the order which had
been received from Washington. Com
mander Young then testified that when
he arrived in Washington he learned
that he recall had been at the suggesN
ton Of Wood, and that there is COR
respOndence on file at the war depart
mert to prove the assertion.
Character of Captain Bellairs.
Colonel Charles S. Diehl, assistant
general manager of the Associated
Press, was called to tell what he knew
as to the service in Cuba of Captain
e. G. Bellairs as Associated Press cor
respondent. Colonel Diehl said Gener-
al Wood called. at the New York of
flee of the Associated Press in the ear
ly part of 1900 and spoke favorably
of Captain BellaiTs. The witness said
that SO far as he knew General Wood
had no knowledge that Ballairs was an
favorably all who met him. When the
character of Bellairs became known to
the Associated Press he was let out.

Notice.

The article appearing in the Grant
County Herald last week with refer
ence to advance in horseshoeing
rates is incorrect in SO far as we are
concerned. We are not party to
the organization, were not repre-
scented at the meeting either in per-
son or by proxy, and the use of our
name in this connection is wholly
unauthorized. We are under no OBJ
legations whatever and will continue
in the future as we have in the past
to adopt such prices or charges for
our labor as seems to us to be equit-
able and just.

Some people are jubilant because
a cattle trust is being formed to
fight the packers of the meat trust,
but the chances are that they will
not jubilate for an extended period.
The cattle trust will simply force
the meat trust to pay more for
their cattle, and the meat trust
will in turn take if out of the
pockets of the consumers-buto Of
course you know the fable of the
chicken and the axe.

PANAMA NEWS is IMPORTANT
Dispatch of Bruiser Along the Coast and
the Cartagena Story.

the Cartagena Story.
Washington, Dec. S.-The dispatch
of the cruiser Atlanta to the Gulf of
Darien, announced in kilograms from
Colon, is of great Importance and in
terest in connections with the rumor
from Colon of the departure Of Colon
bian soldiers for the isthmus of Pan
anna. This is about $50 miles east Of
Colon, and the cruise in those waters
will enable her commander to keep in
close touch with developments in the
Colombian situation originating in and
about the vicinity of Cartagena, from
which place it is rumOred the soldiers
are to march on the isthmus.
To the COlombianS in Washington
the reports from Colon produced a
mystifying effect. They will not say
whether they believe the rumOrs or
not. perhaps it is SO. do not know"
said one of them, as he shrugged his
shoulders. The Colombians believe
there are 1900 or more soldiers at
Cartagena and at the various points
along the sea coast available for such
a purpose as that stated in the dis
patch from Colon, should the govern
ment desire to- use them.
The commissioners from the depart
ment of Bolivar who have been in
Washington for some time with 9 view
to learning the United States attitude
respecting the isthmus of Panama will
leave New York ON their return jour-
ney for Colombia on Saturday. They
have secured from DR.. Herran and
General Reyes a full statement of the
condition of affairs as they exist here
and at Panama, and will carry this
news back to their government The
commissioners had no diplomatic
status; their quest was simply one Of
inquiry. General Reyes is still await
ing further instructions from his gov
eminent pending any further move in
connection with his mission here.

ISTHMUs TO BE INVADED
Report That the CO'Ombians Have Started
an Army to Attack
Panama.

Colon, Dec. S.-A rumor is in circu-
lation here to the effect that 5000 SOL
diers have left Cartagena for the pur-
pose of invading the isthmus. No de-
tails are known, and the rumor can
not be confirmed It probably had its
source in Port Limon, Costa Rica,
where it was brought by steamer from
Cartagena The only possible means
of approaching aPnama is by narrow
and difficult mountain passes through
the Indian country.
