Virginia. whose chief claim to
distinction is that in the land
slide of 1894 he defeated Will
liam L. Wilson for congress, celebrated
Washington's birthday by reading Rep
resentative Burton of Cleveland, O.,
out of the Republican party. Indeed
Dayton seemed to think he was endow-
ed with plenary powers in the case,
for while he was about it he also read
Burton out of the Democratic party, a
party TO which he never belonged.
Burton had stirred Dayton's gorge by
opposing the naval appropriation bill,
which carries $96,000,000 in round num-
berS. Dayton is member of the naval
committee, and the Republican mem
bers of the naval committee think they
own the United States absolutely and
that the other people in the world are
trying to steal part of their possessions.
Burton is not only one of the ablest
men ON the Republican side, but is one
Of the most omnivorous readers in con-
gress. He was fighting the bill not
only onsthe ground of the extravaganza
OF the measure, but also on the theory
that we do not need an immense navy
At one point in his speech he ex-
claimed:
oh, but it is said: This is merely de-
fensive measure. The best way to secure
peace is to be ready for war and so build
up a great navy" How similar to that
are the words of Uriah Heep when he
said, I'VE know that we are humble, but
we are afraid that other people that are
not humble will get the start of u.s.
Dayton may not know it-indeed, the
chances are thousand to one that he
didn't know it-but he wasn't doing
the Republican party any good when
he undertook to read Theodore E. Bur
ton out of it. All this talk about the
Monroe doctrine being lust as strong
as the American navy and no stron-
GER is absolute tommyrot 1t sounds
well, but it is idiotic Our navy was
as pygmy to a giant when compared
with England's navy at the time Mr..
Cleveland issued his famous pronuncia-
mento in the Venezuelan matter, but
it has not been forgotten that England
needed what G. G. said.

showing Against High Finance pirates


Under the above head the Philadel-
phia Inquirer, stanch Republican or
gan, speaks out in meeting in this Wig
orous fashion:
One of the developments of the week is
the possibility that criminal action may
be taken against Charles M. Schwab as a
result Of his methods of handling the
shipbuilding trust If the information re-
ceived by the New York World is ac-
curate, there is more than possibility,
there is probability, of it. Important in
terests, SO the information goes, that have
been acting with Mr.. Schwab's adherents
have deserted him, and in certain contin-
gencies criminal suits will be brought for
which abundant grounds exist
It Is to be hoped that the threatened
steps win be taken. High time it is that
an end should be put to the swindling Of
the public on gigantic scale. The
starving man who steals a ham goes to
jail very promptly. But It Is high
finance" and commendable to mislead the
people into purchasing worthless stock

Straws.

Straws.
The signs of the times indicate that
the people of the north are at last
waking up to the business opportunities
in the south They have been slow to
realize the financial potentialities of
that section of the country, but finally
the truth is beginning to pereolate
through their brains. The chances are
that the next census will be a great
eye opener in this respect. Some years
ago the movement of cotton manufac-
turing southwark became so pronounc-
ed that even so prominent man as
Governor Dingley of Maine took alarm
and desired constitutional amendment
which would give congress jurisdiction
over the labor question in general, hop
ing thereby to enact such legislation as
would neutraIize, partially at least, the
advantages possessed by the south,
such as longer summers warmer eli
mate, less need for fuel, etc. That the
entire cotton crop of the south will
some day be manufactured IN the states
where it is produced cannot be doubted.
What started me on this train of
thought just now was seeing an item in
newspaper to the effect that a COM
pany has purchased 10000 acres of
land in Alabama on which to colonize
northwestern farmers. That item alone
would be of little interest and would
not possess much significance, but it is
simply straw showing which way the
wind blows. Iowa and Illinois farm
ers move 70 missouri, buying the rich
Missouri farm lands. The Missouri
farmers who sell out move farther
south-to Arkansas or Texas. This
process is in perpetual operation. The
tide of immigration has turned from
the extreme west largely toward the
south, and this movement is a good
thing all round. The northerners find
cheaper and better homes, and the
southerners find good neighbors.

Notwithstanding all these assurances
of complete pacifcation and bubbling
enthusiasm of the Filipinos for the
stars and stripes, recently quoted a
dispatch in these letters to the effect
that some two or three hundred con-
stables had taken their guns and ac-
couterments and all the money they
could cabbage and had deserted to the
jungles. A later dispatch describes a
battle in which an American officer
and several privates were killed. Per-
haps these are signs of perfect pacifica-
ton, but sensible people will not so re-
gard them. The truth is that so long
as we attempt to hold the Philippines
we must pin them down with bay
onets.

A Buckeye Boss.
A recent issue of the Pittsburg Post
contains this startling editorial:
An amazing story of legislative schem-
Ing amazing even for Ohio-has found its
way from Columbus. 1t Is to the effect
that Boss Cox has everything fixed to
put bill through the legislature this
winter that will virtually give him a title
to the Miami and Erie canal, which runs
the entire length of the state from Toledo
to Cincinnati. That canal cost the people
of Ohio something over $6.000.O00 but it Is
to be taken completely out of their con-
troll and turned over to the Cincinnati
boss. He will string electric wires on one
side of it its whole length, the ostensible
mules in the running of the boats. The
other bank he will turn over to railroad
that for years has been seeking another
entrance to Cincinnati through that part
of the state penetrated by the waterway.
Cox will then control the water and the
power of the canal He will utilize these
to the best possible advantage in monopo-
lizing the light and water supplies of the
towns and cities along the canal. The
people are protesting against the con-
templated outrage, but thus far it has
produced no effect upon the minds of the
legislators, most of whom were sent to
Columbus with the distinct understand
ing that they were to do the bidding of
Cox and the other Republican bosses of
Ohio.

reason of that event. This year he

The factional fight among the Penn
sylvania Republicans is warming up.
In fact, it is red hot, so hot indeed that
Senator Matthew Stanley Quay has
felt constrained to take his pen in hand
in his Florida retreat and to indite a
lengthy epistle to the Republicans of
Pennsylvania, reading certain Repub-
hcan chieftains a vigorous lecture on
the way that they are discussing Gov
ernor Pennypacker in connection with
place on the supreme bench of the
state. The aged and usually mild man
nered senator uses the words mali
cious' and "mendacious" as applied to
one of the supreme court judges a

of pouring oil on the troubled waters.

ans quarrel with each other the better
it will be for the country.

America is the young man s
country, we are told, because so
many of the CONSPICUOUS figures
among us are young men, observes
a writer in Leslie's Weekly. The
thing is said conventionally, as if
there were some moral virtue in
beng young; as if, too, the great
est tragedy in American history
was not the death, some forty
years ago, Of half million of
men in the prime of life, which
deprived our generations of its
wlsest counsellors. Experience is
the only school which gives G
degree honored of all men, and a
man Of three-score, with the vigor
of life still in him, should be the
most useful citizen of commu-

WE NEED A CANNERY.

There is lao question but what a
canning factory located at this
place would pay handsome divi-

"Canneries can be established
at small cost, and by careful
management they can be made to
earn a handsome profit. They
are a blessing to any community
as they furnish home market for
fruit and vegetables, and at the
same time give employment to q
number of people.
There are thousands of dollars

count Of delay in shipping, OF

In Albany, n. Y, there is q
man who wants to die, and who
could have his wish If the lawyers
would let him. He is under SEN
tence of death for murder. He
says the sentence is just, and that
he is ready, willing and anxious
to pay the penalty for his crime.
But his lawyers have persisted in
taking an appeal over his protest.
The condemned man has written
to the Governor begging him to
prevent the Court of Appeals from
setting aside his sentence. The
murderer takes the ground that
his temperament is such that if he
were set at liberty he would be a
menace to society, therefore it
would be better for everybody
concerned if he were dead. The
grounds of the appeal are techni-
cal; the murderer says technical
tiles should not be permitted to
stand in the way of common sense
and the good of the public. 1t
seems rather pity to put tc
death man of so much common
sense.
