The President and the Corporations.
Another straw which shows which
way the political wind blows at the
White House is the recognition of the
Spooner -Babeock faction of the Repub-
lican party of Wisconsin by the Ma
tional Committee of that party. Those
who have watched the political tactics
OF the administration have all the time
known that Gov La Toilette was look
ed upon as a disorganizer. His propo-
sitions for fair primary legislation and
above all his attempt TO tax the rail
roads on their real valuation has not
endeared him to the Republican lead
ers. Is it therefore surprising that
President Roosevelt, who through his
chairman OF the National Republican
Committee. is collecting large sums
from the corporations for the campaign
chest, should favor the faction from
which the funds are being so freely
poured forth. And now comes an I'M
feeling Supreme Court of Wisconsin
deciding that the Spooner-Babcock fac
ton have no right to n place on the
Republican ticket As the Republican
national convention was entirely domi-
mated by the corporations, of course,
that trust-ridden gathering did not
agree with the Supreme Court.

The Power of the Ballot.

The gross iniquity of the protective
tariff system is TINT it allows the pro-
tccted monopolies 10 collect from the
pockets of the people six times the
amount that they pay to the govern
ment. While the tax collectors at the
custom houses collect on an average
about $15 from each family, the tax
collectors of the trusts and combines
collect $94 average for each family.
If these trust collectors stood at the
doors of the shops and stores and de
handed this tax, but few of them
would escape being knocked down
with the clubs the people would carry
for that purpose. But the heads of the
1900. 600 families, who are thus In
directly taxed, have a powerful club
in their hands that would settle with
the trust collectors if they would use
II. The ballot. IL wisely used, will dis
pose of all monopolies, will dispense
with tariff plundering and enforce
economy and reform in every branch
OF the government.

Government Receipts and Expenditures
The first two months of the present
fiscal year, July and August, showed
a deficiency in the governments reve-
nues of $23,000,000. The last fiscal
year ending June 30 1904, showed a
deficiency of $410O0,OOO, a total of
$64 100000. September of the present
year shows a surplus of S3,S00,00C
That month usually makes a good
showing; in 1893, the surplus was So
100000, and in 1892, 100000 De-
tOber generally shows a deficit, as the
interest payments, which even Secre-
tary Shaw cannot defer, like he has a
good many other payments, will de-
mand about S4,000,000, and last year
this month showed a deficit of nearly
100000. In consequence of the eX-
travagant appropriations, the expendi-
lures are all the time increasing, so
there is no doubt that October will
wipe out the September surplus and
perhaps add to the deficit. In any
event, the first four months of the
fiscal year, or on Nov. l, there will be
q deficiency of receipts over expendl-
lures of over $20,O0O,000, or at the rate
of $S0,OOO,000 for the whole year. Re
publican orators and organs are eX-
hibiting great awkwardness in explain
ing this lack of prosperity.

A New Deal Much Needed.

The postei frauds and the punish
nent OF those who have been indicted
appear to be lost sight of in other
campaign issues. The Roosevelt ad-
ministration evidently has postponed
the trial of the cases so that the public
will forget the scandal The refusal OF
the Republicans in Congress to allow
an investigation showed they feared
the exposure of more fraEls. if the
Democratic demand for congression-
al investigation was acceded to. That
very fact should lead to the election
of democratic majority to the next
Congress, so that Congress may do its
duty as the grand inquest of the ma
ton
Beyond the postal frauds there are
other scandals that need Investigation
The Interior Departn' emit has land
frauds that much smpass the postal
frauds, as far as the amount involved
is at stake. yet but little attempt has
been made to punish the land robbers
and the department refuses to make
public WI it has discovered.

have sworn and subscribed to written

awful Illness and subsequent cure of

DIR. LINES is particularly emphatic
in his statement, and there does not
row seem to be any room for doubt as
to the feet that Dodd's Kidney pills,
and noth~g else. saved the little boy.
He was so bad that he had Epileptic
spells which seized him with increas-
ing frequency. He was semi paralyzed
in the right side, and his mind was
BADLY affected.
In their sworn statement, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mcbride say:
The very day we began to use
Dodd'g Kidney Pills our boy had TWEEN
ty-seyen of these Epileptic spells or
fits. In less than week he ceased
having them entirely"
The case has caused a great sensa-

small bag of salt along in order to pro-
tect themselves against snake bite.
Snakes are so plentiful that they

they go prepared for an emergency
1T seems that the salt is a good abb

salt was frequently used to draw

OPIUM IN DIVERSE FORMS.
Devotees Of the Drug Choose Various
Ways of Obtaining Its Effects.

Consumers Of opium are not all of
the same kind. There are slaves of

to give surcease of pain or OF mental

drug in the form of medicinal prep
aration, such as lau1anum. paregoric.
and the extract Of laudanum those
who smoke it and inhale the fumes
into the lungs and those who take

others have periodical sprees similar

A Woman Saved From Life-L ono

A woman confined TO the house for sew

She had tried physician after physician,
and remedy after remedy, without any per-

Her treatment had cost her husband, who

The woman had become weak nervous
and wretched, and scarcely able to keep

want OF mothers care. Her husband
was becoming discouraged and broken

news that DIR. Hartman would treat such
cases Tree OF charge by letter. She in me-
diately wrote the doctor describing her case,

salt is a good cure for snake bite"
said a man who has been in the hills
of Alabama, but | did not know 1t
until recently. | spent several weeks
in Alabama with friend of mine, and
while up there learned something
about snakes and snake bites that
never knew before. and, more than
that, | saw practical demonstrations
of the efficacy of salt as a cure for
snake bite.
by the way, the crop of rattle
snakes in Alabama is larger this year
than ever before in the history of the
state, and that is saying a good deal,
for it has been long time since there
was anything but big crop of rattlers
up in that section of the world. Dur
ing one day spent in the cane which
grows in abundance at the foot of the
hills personally killed twenty-five rat
tlesnakes of various sizes and ages
| never saw as many snakes in my
life, and | would be ashamed to tell
you the vast number | saw but did not
kill. But l was speaking of salt as
