SECRETARY SHAW AS A COLLEC-
TOR

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw
seems to have alarmed the manage
ment of the st. Louis Fair by the de-
termination he shows to collect the $4,-
900, 900 borrowed from the government
just before the opening of the fair. 1t
viii be recalled that the government
had already given the fair S., 600 900.
The former sum was to be paid in in
stallments, only one of which has been
paid thus far. One is about due now,
and it is thought the gate receipts
haven't been sufficient to enable the
mana cement to pay it. Anyway, it
seems that st. Louis bankers would
lend the fair management $1,000 600 if it
became necessary to borrow that
amount. The dispatches say that the
reply of the bankers was satisfactory
when approached on the subject
OF course the fair is going to do a
great deal better when the weather be-
comes cooler st. Louis has the repu-
tation of being a hot city, and that has
kept many people away from the fair.
1t must be admitted however, that
there have been too many great fairs
within the last few years. one in
twenty years would be enough. Only
certain proportion of the people can
attend, and the percentage that wants
TO attend a fair every year or two isn't
large enough to make a great under
taking like that at ST. Louis pay.
There isn't any doubt of course that
the st. Louis Fair is we'll worth see
ing. Indeed, the consensus of opinion
is that it is the greatest Of all fairs.
Its chief drawback is that it occupies
too much space. The people get tired
trying 10 see il. 1t is true, of course.
that there are means of getting about
the grounds but the fact must be taxi
en- into consideration that the major
ity of those who visit ii haven't the
means of hiring roller chairs or of pay
ing extravagant prices for aeeommoda-
tons Of any kind.
OF course the government will get the
$4600,000. but il stands no chance Of
getting the original loan Of $4,000. 600
II is probable it never expected to get
that. 1t would be an interesting condi-
ton OF affairs if it had to take possess
sion Of the fair to get the payments Of
the $4,000 600 as they come due. It
It seems that Secretary Shaw threat
ened something Of the kind.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk Landmark (Dem) says
The United States fought the War
of the Revolution to get away from
the British colonial system. Now our
government is claiming that in wis
dom and honor the best we can do
for the Filipinos' is TO give them the
very colonial system which we our
selves found intoerable and denounced
as tyranny II is a national disgrace. q"
The Houston (Tex) Post Dem)
says odd Cleveland may with pro-
priety boast of having done something
TO maintain the gold standard, but
such claims on the part of the Re-
publican party are rank falsehoods and
every man acquainted with the finan-
cial legislation for the past seven
years knows it, There is not a finan-
cier of recognized ability in the coun-
try who viii say that the Republican
party has established a scientific mon
etary system, and Mr.. Roosevelt's
boastfulness cannot change the fact.
Let him raise the issue of the gold
standard, and he will doubtless hear
something decidedly unpleasant

1t was these two things that led him TO
have the window of the sleeping room

latest and most approved description

said. Il dreamed that a burglar rails

LABOR TROUBLES AND THE CAM
PAIGN.

The Republican papers in their
Washington dispatches We're careful TO
say that the President, on his arrival
at Washington from his summer home
day or two ago. did not seem to be
in the least concerned about the la
Dor troubles in different parts of the
country. Notwithstanding these state
ments there is no doubt that he is
very much concerned in regard to
them. The outlook in Illinois is that
the strike of the employees of the meat
packers viii soon be ended, though it
is quite certain that there can be no
ending of it at present that would be
at all satisfactory to the strikers. The
strike in the Massachusetts cotton
mills and in the mines of the West
win no doubt continue for several
weeks.
An interesting question is, to what
extent win the labor troubles affect
| the presidential election? The Repub-
| lican leaders are afraid they will af-
feet it very seriously for their party
that it will cause their ticket to lose
a great many votes. The President
has had 1t given out that he has no
intention of interfering in the labor
| troubles in any OF the states. Evil
| IDENTIFY he understands he couldn't in
terfere as he did in the coal strike
without losing votes. 1t is stated that
Senator Dubois of Idaho, who called
on Judge Parker yesterday, stated to
! him that he thought, on account Of
| labor troubles in the West. the DEM
| ocrats had an excellent chance Of car
! rying Idaho, Nevada. Colorado and
! Montana That is encouraging news
| for the Democrats, but it wouldn't be
advisable for them to place too much
reliance upon it, Undoubtedly labor
! in power, but the labor troubles may
| all he settled before the election and
/ conditions in states where the trou-
| bles now exist may be such that the
Republicans win gain rather than lose
votes by the present labor troubles.
The Democrats know the states on
which they can rely for electoral votes
! They know also the doubtful states.
They should bring an their forces to
bear upon the latter states. II they
get the electoral votes OF states that
are afflicted with labor troubles, so
much the better, but 1t would be a
mistake to place much dependence
upon labor troubles as an assistant to
carry the election.

The Republicans are beginning to
regard with open-eyed establishment
the temerity-they look on it as al
most effrontery-displayed by the
Democrats in planning their campaign.
For instance, the Republicans have all
along been claiming Massachusetts as
an unquestionably Republican state,
and in their estimates they have writ
ten its electoral votes in the Repub-
lican column. But the Democrats
have pitched upon that state as par
ticularly fertile ground in which to
SOW Democratic seeds. And the SOW
ing is going to be pushed vigorously
and the cultivation viii not to be per-
mtted to lag. Some of the most pow
erful of the Democratic speakers are
going into Massachusetts, and hun
dreds of thousands of campaign docu-
ments are to be distributed there.
Senator Bacons tariff speeches, John
Sharp Williams speech in favor of
Canadian reciprocity, and Senator Cor
mans speech against usurpation by
the executive of the prerogatives of
Congress, will be scattered broadcast,
and 1t is believed the harvest of votes
for Parker and Davis because of them
will be generous. Indeed, there are GER
tain well-balanced Massachusetts pol
iticians who regard the state as quite
doubtful of going Republican, and as
legitimate and promising lighting
ground for the Democrats.

Galveston's great sea wall having

more costly preventive measure
against storm damage is being taken.
The sea wall is seventeen feet above
mean tide level, and the grade of
the city is to be brought up to the
level of the wall. Sand for the filing
in is being dredged from the bottom
OF the harbor and pumped into the
city. Some eight blocks at a time are
being thus treated The houses are
temporarily raised from their founda-
tons while the sand is being pumped
in. The sea wall cost $1,5OO,OO0. Rails

vide a sinking fund and interest for
