trained in economics by long years Of

slant practice before the courts as a
lawyer. He has reputation that is

railroad corporation that rules that
state and Senator Chandler who had
occupied seat in the senate for many
years, challenged it. The people put
him out of the senate pretty quick.
The railroads have exerci'ed that right

Vengeance Never Pays

From conversation with score or
so of populists and study Of the cleo
ton returns. tits evident that several
thousand populists voted the republic
can ticket at the last election The
pOpulists with whom the editor has
talked all said practically the same
thing. They wanted to Wreak ven
geance upon the democratic party for
It's perfidy and give whitening rcbuae
to those populist leaders who forced
fusion upon them with F:.rker demo
Gratis, and to do it. instead of voting
their own ticket and for principles that
they have denounced for the last twelve
years.
Ii they had stuck by their own ma
tional ticket and polled : big vote for
Watson, and the democrats had cast
as they did do every democratic vote
in the state for Parker and Wall street,
what difference there would have
been in the political situation today
III their effort to wreak vengeance, they
injured themselves and their party.
Vengeance is mine saith the Lord
ard everybody would do well to leave
it to him.

Considerable writing has been done
In the financial journals concerning
the delay in the financial depression
which has always followed such spec
nlatien and imitation as has maj hed the
last five years. White some Of them
are Inclined to think that it is not
coming, none say so outright. The fact
is, it is not due until 1906 or 1907. 1t
has always taken ten years of boom
ing and imitation to produce the result
and that sort of thing did not burst
upon us until 1862. One thing that
has put it off is the crop conditions
in this country and Europe. The re-
ports from London and the continent
show that the greatest distress is pre-
vailing there-thousands are in q
starving condition and hundreds CT
thousands are out Of work. IN the
United States it is different. Last
year we sold over 500, 100000 worth
more cotton than usual. Not that We
sold more pounds, but the very high
price brought that much more money
This year, on account of the failure pf
crops in Europe and the war in Asia
we are getting big prices for all farm
products which is pouring many hum
dred millions more Of money into this
country. A good many writer's are
taking these things INTO consideration.
The Springfield Republican says:
The country may have succeeded
only in postponing and not in
averting permanently the full
measure of reactionary conse-
ouence fairly to be expected of the
speculative excuses of recent
years.
1t is agreed that these excuses were
greater than any that have preceded
the panics and financial Expressions at
any time in the last fifty years.
