It is to be hoped that the business men who are booming the trolley ex- tension understand the situation. It is on record what has been done so far in this matter. The trolley company backed out of former agreement with the city. An agreement made in good faith, and which capitalized the cost of the work at the disputed point. Surely the business men would not have the city pay more than it's share of the work. For every dollar it puts into the work the taxpayer must furnish, and while the business people may be benefited to certain extent, they will be paying more than their share. Let us have square deal all around and the people who foot the bills will have no cause for complaint in after years.

The last few years have witnessed an enormous increase in the cost of liv- ing. The prices of the necessaries of life have moved upward, seemingly in accordance with common impulse, until now there Is scarcely an article in common and extensive use which can be bought for as little money as it could four, five, six or eight years ago. The greatest increases, s,swith rare ex- captions, have been in the prices of those commodities which are most in dispensable to the maintenance of life and health, and no family has been able to escape the increased outlAy for food and clothing which such an ad- vance entails, except by reducing its standard of living. Such, in brief, Is the story known to every head of a family and to every careful ana frugal housewife. A perusal of the figures published in smother part of this paper will be worth the time it stakes, for 1t will show just what has taken place of late years in this respect.

Secretary of the Treasury Shaw has prepared an estimate of the result of the election, which does not indicate that he is so cocksure of republican victory as he has said he was. Alter putting into the g. Q. p. column all of the states which it is conceded. by ev- erybody belong theree he lays violent hands on Indiana. Connecttcuta Della ware, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Wisconsin, and dumps them into the same place. He gives the solid south and Maryland to the democrats and says all others are doubtful. Tn this way, MT Roosevelt's secretary of the treasury figures out the election of the present occupant of the white house by an electoral vote of 254, with pos sibility that Parker will have 222.

tariff to blackmail and the forced con- tribution of vast horde of office holders. But the democrats are not able to command money from such sources. They must look to the peo- pie who are in favor of democratic success to fill the campaign chest with voluntary contributions. There are, of coarse, some rich democrats and some corporations that contribute to the democratic fund, but all the money thus obtained would not equal the fat fried out of single trust by Roosevelt's man, CorteIyou. The democratic national committee needs money and is not ashamed or afraid to say so. George Foster Peabody, the treasurer of the committee, would be glad to receive contributions, large or small; he would welcome sums as small as half a dollar. MT Peabody encourages the making of small con- trfbutions. He would rather receive l Sl0O from 100 persons in sums of one dollar from each than the like sum sfrom a single individual MT Pea body hopes to be favored with many small contributions from the south. Himself native of Georgia, he says 1t would please him immensely to have the democrats of his old home state eyince their interest in the cause Tn this practical way. He would be be glad. to have the democrats in oth- CT southern states join. And why not? No portion of the country would receive greater ~nefit from the cleo ton of Parker and Davis than the south. No portion has so much to l fear from the election of Roosevelt as the south. Mir Peabody's address is No West 34th street, New York.

The tone and quality of Judge Her. r1ck's speech accepting the nomina- tion- for governor of New York, was such as to add to the already confi- dent feeling that the Empire state was about to return to the democrat ic fold. It was clear, strong, frank and timely, devoted to state issues, and already has made votes for the party. Judge Herrick Is no novice in New York politics, however, and cherishes no illusions as to the char acter and magnitude of the task be- fore him. He knows full well the cleverness of Boss odell and he ap- preciates the fact that he has an enormous corruption fund at his com nand, as well as an army of trained and conscienceless henchmen to do his bidding. When it is understood that the election of OdelPs man, Hig- gins, means that Odell will control the expenditure of the $101, ,OO0,0 GOO appropriated for canal improvements, who can doubt that he will put up the fight of his life? Judge Herrick is familiar with the situation and his friends believe he will in due time be master of 1t. He will take the stump at once and wage an aggressive fight in every county in the state. The state committee has provided a host of speakers to help him. There is no friction between the national and state committees and every effort will be made by all interested to swing the state into the democratic column by phenomenal majority for both state and national tickets. The fellows who have been calling for more gin ger in the New York campaign will get their fill.

While boring for water a few
days ago the employees of the
Oregon Short Line struck a
stratum of oil-bearing sand at a
depth OF 600 feet. The report of
the strike spread rapidly and a
large numberof people focked to
the scene of the excitement and
hundreds OF claims have been
staked off by would-be oil mag
mates. While the first reports
were grossly exaggerated, ex-
pertH say that surface Indications
at that point are excellent, and
believe that a good oil field will
be openedup. Immediately upon
discovery that flow of oil had
been found, the Short Line peo-
pie covered up their well, and
placed men ON guard to prevent
any one from making an exam
nation of the property. 1t is
said that the samples of oil ta-
ken were of fine quality! Ex-
pertr who examined the well say
that 10y shooting the well a
good flow of oil would probably
be obtained, and one of the EN-
