lencies saved many millions year to the
nation.
Extravaganza is running riot in federal
state and municipal governments in spite
of the well directed efforts of some excel
lent officials. The Indebtedness of the
municipal governments is steadily pilng
up, bond issues are increasingly frequent.
and the people have not the satisfaction
in many instances of a full equivalent in
improvements for the money expended,
and the federal government is leading in
the race of great expenditures. Ere long
the people will demand reform in admin
istrative expenses
And they will demand it now if they are
made to appreciate the whole truth.

Among so many patriotic and intelli-
gent men it is inevitable that divergence
of opinion as to minor questions and diff
ferences of view as to the correctness of
the disposition of the dead issues should
be found The party is concededly united
today as to every vital article of the faith
which can reasonably enter into the
pending canvass.

i4AMLETS MALADY.
A study of the Melancholy Dane and
His Moods.

A study of the Melancholy Dane and
His Moods.
The tragedy of Hamlet is that man
Of a peculiar retrospective tempera-
ment is called upon to settle practical
crisis. Hamlet knew this very well
himself, and that makes the tragedy
deeper. Brutus never doubted when
once his decision was taken that he
was the right man to cure the evils Of
Rome: Hamlet doubted from the very
beginning.
The times are out of joint. O cursed spite
That ever | was born to set them right.
He was too fine. too distinguished.
too intellectual, a character to be the
rough instrument which fate demand
ed He has the fatal malady of anal
wing his own motives, which is gener-
ally destructive of action. If you once
begin asking yourself what will be the
results and consequences of a definite
act, you will find that at the moment
of action your will is paralyzed by ex-
cess of scrupulosity, as Hanlet's was
when with his drawn sword he saw his
uncle praying 1t was a disease of will
from which Hamlet was suffering. In
any other times it would not have been
so fatal In this particular time, when
he was called upon to do a specific act
= to aVenge his father and kill the
usurper-it is not he, but man rather
of the Fortinbras build, who viii be
the savior of society. Observe, too,
that, like many intellectual men, he
cannot be sure of his own moods He
sees the ghost of his murdered father.
but is it an honest ghost, is it really
his fathers spirit? Hamlet believes in
it on the battlements of Elsinore but
he entirely disbelieves it in another
mood, when despite the evidences of
his senses he talks of ''the bourn from
which no traveller returns" The trav-
eler who had returned is dismissed ap-
parently as fantasy Of his brain. And
these supernatural yisitings in such an
analytic and interpretive mind do not,
as matter of fact, supply him with
the motive for his subsequent action
The ghost can flake him put Oh an an
tic disposition, play with such crea
lures as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern,
deride the senile humorings of Polo
MUS and lessen the torrent of his words
against his mother. But what the
ghost cannot do is to make him kill his
uncle. He murders him at last, more
or less accidentally, because his moth
err was poisoned and Laertes had play
ed foul in the fencing bout. So Curl
ously destructive of strong, practical
volition is an intellectual malady when
it has grown morbid-the tendency to-
ward introspection, self analysis, met
aphysical speculation.-W L. Courte-
nay in National Review.

Why So Anxious7

Query: If the ship subsidy bill, which
the Republicans were afraid to pass
at the last session of congress and
which they intend to pass at the next
session, if they can, especially if we
elect the next house, is really good
and laudable measure. why, oh, why is
Senator Fairbanks, the Republican vice
presidential candidate, SO anxious to
have it understood that he is not adj
vocating it? 1t is ten to one shot
that he will vote for it when it comes
up in the senate, but when it was re
ported that he advocated it in recent
speech at Brunswick, Me-, great haste
was made to deny it. and telegram
was sent out to the effect that what he
did say was that 1.-The Republican par
ty might be trusted to deal with the
subject in a patriotic and sensible

cessive duties as burden them. it Is due
20 them that we should state our posi-
zion to be in favor of q reasonable reduce
ton of the tariff; that we believe that it
is demanded by the best interests of both
manufacturer and consumer, and that
wise and beneficent revision of the tariff
can be accomplished as soon as both
branches of congress and an executive
in favor of it are elected, without creat-
ing that sense of uncertainty and insta-
biHty that has on other occasions mani
tested itself. This can be achieved by
providing that such reasonable period
shall intervene between the date of the
enactment of the statute making a re-
vision ana the date of its enforcement as
shall be deemed sufficient for the industry
or business affected by such revision to
adjust itself to the changes and new con-
ditions imposed So confident am l in

for reform of the tariff is just that |

At the rate at which the deficiency
in the federal treasury is growing it
will reach S144,000,000 by the end Of
the fiscal year, July l, 1905. There are
only two ways to prevent that bad sit
uation. One is to cut down expendi-
tures-which Republicans can't do; it's
contrary to their nature-the other is
to increase the revenues, which can
be done only IN one of two ways, Ell
Their levy more taxes or issue more in
terest bearing bonds. Do the taxpay-
ers desire heavier taxes or a new issue
of bonds? Hardly Then their only
remedy is to put the Republicans out
and put the Democrats in Verb. sap.

~ CERTAINLY the most preposter-
"a Gus claim ever made by intelli-
VI gent men is that the result in
the state election of Vermont
has settled the result of the presiden-
tial election. Does any sane man be-
lieye such rot as that? 1t is a thing
incredible If it is true, then the mat
ter of eleeting president can be great
~ simplified If that theory is cor
rect, there is no sense in expanding
money, energy, eloquence. music and
red lights in holding presidential cleo
ton anywhere outside of the Green
Mountain State. What a saving it
would be in every way to submit the
whole matter to the good people of
that statel Now. permit me to ask a
few questions:
First-If the result in Vermont real
~ settles the election, why not permit
Vermont also to make the nominations
without any outside help or interfer
ence? / submit that that would be
the fair thing to do If they are to
shoulder the whole responsibility of
electing a president, then they should
have tie honor and glory of nominal
ing him, and the rest of us-some a..
100000 voters all told-would be left
to pursue our usual vacations and av-
ocations and spend our time money
and nervous force on the other duties
of this life. In one way and another
of aVo i'm r1nl1li.
mating the candidates for president and
vice president. Millions of hours of
valuable time are also consumed. Why
this waste if Vermont is the arbiter of
our destinies?
Second How does it happen that in
all these years no Yermonter has been
nominated by a great party for either
president or vice president? Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire and Maine
have all been so honored It's unjust
to load Vermont up with the sole duty
of electing presidents, and to always
compel her to select from among men
who are not Vermonters. By all the
rules of justice and common sense, il
Vermont is to elect them, none but
Vermonters ought to be nominated.
Third.-How does it happen that the
result of an election in that state is
any more of a barometer" of the
presidential election than is the re-
suit in Arkansas? Vermont has only
two representatives in congress. while
Arkansas has seven The election is
e; n1-
More money is spent in the former
than in the latter It's all bosh-this
Vermont barometer theory.

Harper's Weekly. a Republican jour
nal, makes the remarkable suggestion
that a presidential candidate should
announce in advance of election whom
he will appoint secretary of state in
the event of success and the far more
remarkable suggestion that Judge
Parker would do well to at once indi-
cate that he intends to appoint Hon.
Richard Olney of Massachusetts or
Judge George Gray of Delaware to
that high position. The reason assign
ed for this unprecedented performance
is that the secretary of state now
stands next to the vice president in the
line of succession to the presidency.

with any reference to the great issues
upon which our party through its plat
form and candidates confidently appeals
to the people for Endorsement, but crave
your Indulgence while I briefly refer to
single feature of the platform of the Re
publican party.
That platform opens with declaration
of that party's many years of control OF
government, coupled with the assertion
that it has displayed a high capacity for
rule and government, which has been
made even more conspicuous by the in
capacity and infirnlity OF purpose shown
by its opponents
This challenge to a comparison of Dem
ocratic and Republican administrations
since the Republican party came into
existence should be welcomed Fortu-
nately we have eight recent years Of
Democratic administration of the eXecu-
tive department Of the government. which
we will gladly compare with any similar
period since 1860.
The comparison will show that under
Democratic control the administrative
purity of the fathers was observed in the
conduct of the government; that no one
of its departments was permeated, as Of
late, with corruption rivaling the days of
the star route frauds; that a successful
effort was made to check the growth of
expenditures; that it resulted in each in
stance in cutting down the expenses with
in the control of the executive depart
ment of the government below those Of
the preceding administration. The eon
parison will show also that each sue
ceeding Republican administration after
1858 increased expenses and in some in
stances so greatly as to indicate reckless
extravaganza and waste Of the peoples
money.
During Mr.. Clevelands first term the
average annual expenditure was about
$3.50 900, co., For the past three years it
has been about S519, 200 600. The govern
mental expenditure last year mounted up
to $3.50. 000 Co., which is not equaled by
any year since the civil war with the ex-
ception of the year of the Spanish war,
| There is an inevitable result to such ex-
travagance Instead of a surplus in the
annual receipts of about $4,000 600, which
the present executive found on assuming
! control, there is now a deficit to be found
| there of S42,0 900.
The limits Of this address will not per-
nit further reference to the cost of adj
ministration, but it should receive care
/ full examination at your hands. And you
will be convinced that reform is neces-
