Orders are beginning to drop off in
some of the great industrial centers.
At Newark, N. j., the Roebling steel
and wire works, where 1000 men are
employed, will probably go on short
time within the next week or two be-
cause of lack of orders, and two pro-
jected addition to the works will not
be built because the demand for them
has ceased to exist. Has the crest of
the wave of prosperity been reached
and passed?

The strike breaking students of the
University of Pennsylvania have them
selves gone on strike against a reduc-
ton of wages. AT first they were paid
carpenters. Then the employers reach
ed the conclusion that the boys were
not worth fun wages, and cut the
price TO 81 a day, whereupon the stu
dents laid down their tools and walked
out.

dal for publication. 1t is the talk
among the politicians. according TO re-
ports in the New York Herald, that
if the investigation is pushed to the
limit in New York city there will be
disclosures that will have a tremen-
dous political effect, and will ruin
regulations of men who stand high in
the estimation of the public 1t is even
said the disclosures may cause the
Republican party to lose the states Of
New York, Ohio and Indiana.
Statements like this arouse curiosity
and make the public insist that the
investigation shall be thorough. 1t is
not improbable that the New York
postoffice has been used for furthering
the plans and purposes of the Repub-
lican party in its political campaigns.
OF course it isn't apparent at first
thought how the office could be used
in that way to the great damage Of
the government, but a little cOnsid-
GRAFTON will show that the office is a
big institution, in which a vast amount
of business is transacted besides the
receiving and forwarding of mail mat
ter. There are contracts of various
kinds-contracts for supplies which call
for the expenditure of many thousands
of dollars annually-and there are hun
dreds of employees among whom
changes are frequently made. One of
the charges is that there was a regu-
lar ring in the office for controlling
appointments and promotions.
There must be something radically
wrong in the office or there wouldn't
be such a stir at the beginning of an
investigation of it's affairs And there
must be men high in the councils of the
Republican party involved in the
wrong-doing or else there wouldn't be
such an effort to check the investiga
ton, or at least confine it within GER
tain limits.
1t is not surprising that the Presi-
dent is quoted as saying that the in
Vestigation must be thorough. If he
should interfere for the purpose of
shielding Republicans he would greatly
lessen his chances of being nominated
and elected president. 1t is not sur
prising therefore that it is stated that
he is insisting upon a vigorous and
searching investigation.

THE ASSASSINATION APPROVED


The telegram of the Car to King
Peter Management is regarded by
the murderers of King Alexander
of Servia as approving their act,
and, hence, they are in the best of
spirits and are looking forward to
playing important parts in the new
government. 1t may be they will have
to keep in the background for awhile,
but there does not seem to be any
ground for doubling that eventually
they will claim their reward for open
ing the way of King Peter to the
throne, and will get it.
1t is true of course that the new
King said on hearing that he had been
chosen Alexander's successor, that he
would punish Alexander's murderers.
He could hardly have said less than
that. But with what success would
he meet in an effort to punish them
if not only the Servians. but also the
governments of the continent of Eu-
rope, approve what they did? 1t may
be said that the governments do not
approve of their act. If they do not ap-
prove why have they not entered their
protest? Russia, it seems, has adopt
ed course that justities the conclu-
sion that she approves, and it is the
expectation that the governments of
other continental Powers will follow
her lead.
1t really looks now as if the conspir-
itors would be the real rulers of the
country. The new King will be a fig
ure head, and if he does not permit
the army to have it's way in all i'm
portant matters he will probably suf-
fer a fate like that which overlook
Alexander.
There have been reports to the effect
that this country and Great Britain
would refuse to recognize the legiu-
macy of the government of the new
King in view of the fact that it is
based upon a great crime. 1t is doubt
full if they will refuse to recognize it.
The new King had no knowledge that
a crime was about to be committed
by which he would be benefited. 1t
is true that he was constantly instgat-
ing intrigues in Servia for the pur-
pose of advancing his own interests as
one 10 whom the throne would likely
pass in the event of Alexander's death,
but there is absolutely no evidence
that he had guilty knowledge of the
conspiracy to assassinate Alexander.
If he had such knowledge he kept the
| secret we'll.
1t is probable that neither this coun-
try nor Great Britain will take any
action in the matter. Neither of them
is greatly concerned in Servias af-
fairs. The continental Powers seem
to be anxious to have the new King
installed as quickly as possible. The
probabilities are that no effort will be
made to punish the assassins, and
that after few months they will be
| in high favor with the new govern
| ment.

Wonders sometimes happen, even in
these modern days. Russell Sage has
at last been caught mapping by the
tax assessors. Heretofore he has been
assessed in New York on $780, 600 worth
of property. Recently the assessors
raised the figure to 100000 1t was
expected that "Uncle Russell" would
go to the tax office and swear off"
two-thirds or three-quarters of the
assessment, but when the time limit
for swearing off" expired and Mr..
Sage had not put in an appearance
the officials concluded he was salts
fled with their figures. But such was
not the case. He had merely got mixed
in his dates and was a month behind
time when he went to get the taxes
reduced He will, therefore, have to
give up about $4,000 to the tax gath
erers this year.

With so much rottenness uncovered
in the Postofice Department, the read
ing public is beginning to wonder how
it is in the other departments at Wash
ington. Can it be that the rascals all
gravitated to the postal service, and
that the other departments are inn
maculate? Or maybe the other de-
partments have merely failed to de-
velop TulIoch.

the report is one that is particularly
overwhelmingly 1t seems that
the grafters were endlessly active in
working the good thing. So many APP
pointees were placed in the city
postoffice that nothing could be found
for them to do, so they just loafed
around and drew their pay. THE
aggregate salaries paid to those not
connected with the office amounted
to SIG, 100" The employees roll was
so elastic that there was always room
for another.

Kansas City, Mo-, Monday, Dec. 2s--
Cattle business at Kansas CITY last week
was much restricted as was to be ex-
pected Packers showed some axniety for
killing kinds, particularly fat steers and
corn fed cows, and botn made good adj
vances. Gamers remained steady stock
cows and stock calves dull, veal calves
firm Feeders gained along with fat
steers. but stockers did not change. Re
ceipts Of cattle and calves at Kansas City
for the year 1893 will amount TO 21SioOo
head. This number has been surpassed
only once before, which was during the
year 1902 The yards were entirely clos
cd tho first ~ days OF June this year.
and not much business was done the ball
ance Of the month. otherwise this would
have probably been the banner year In
cattle receipts at Kansas City.
Sheep receipts have been at a low ebb
past week, but the year 1908 will just
about equal 1902, the total for each year
being l. 900 head. Had II not been that
the yards at Kansas city were practical
~ out OF business during the month OF
June this year account OF the flood, this
would have been much the largest year
on record at these yards In sheep receipts.
Prices last week showed some strength,
