CLAYTON CONFIDENT.

From the Washington Post.
 There was pleased look on the face of Congressman Henry D. Clayton of Alabama as he stood in the lobby of the Riggs House last evening-in fact. he wore a smile of the sort that doesn't rub off as he told group of friends that the democratic party was as certain of car rying Delaware as a dime was of buy Ing a gingercake.
 Not only are we going to get Del aware's electoral vote" said the stalwart southerner but New Jerseys, as well. am not indulgng in vain prophecies or boastful talk. I've been making speeches in both these states. and both of them look to me like a sure Parker and Davis proposition. I spoke to big and enthusi- astic gatherings all over Delaware, and there can be no mistaling the signs of democratic victory" Campaigning is Mir Clayton's long suit and his party is for tunate in having such a magnetic and forceful orator on the stump.

Stuck in the Mud.

The Hun river passes south Of Muk- den, turning to the east if one follow it beyond that city. The Shakhe river is a branch of the Hun, running east and west, it's valley lying about twen- ty miles south of Mukden. The Rus sians are on the north side of the ShaEhe river, and the Japanese face them on the south side of it. The swollen an1 bridgeless river separates the two armies.
 Both armies are held inactive by the rains and bottomless roads, and no doubt both are utilizing the waiting period to draw in supplies, ammuni- tion and men. Each army bestrides the railroad, which is open to both. The Japanese are. however, near their base at or near New Chang, while the Russians must look for help from dis tant Russia, unless, indeed, stores and ammunition and men can be moved forward from Harbin.
 It is said the Japanese have no in tention of going into winter quarters. They propose to fight all winter. Be this as it may, it seems plain that an inactive period is before both of the overworked armies. It is also plain that the Japanese can the more speedily send Oyama whatever he needs. The army that is first sup piled will move the first, and we must await developments in the Shakhe val ley. Food and ammunition are no doubt going forward to both armies and an early renewal ol operations by the two vast armies is certain to come The slaughter on both sides is heavy and the strain to which the soldiers are subjected must swell the lists of the incapacitated. The world has rarely witnessed a bloodier or more desperate struggle.

REPUBLIC IRON AND STEEL.
Decrease In Net Earnings of Nearly
 $3,00o,o ,o00-Bond Plans.

From the New York Times.
 The annual report of the Republic Iron and Steel company was made public Wednesday. The net earnings decreased on account of depression in business from $4 123 500 in 1903 to S1 306 06S in 1904 Re- duced dividends were paid from surplus, and. after deducting the necessary amounts for renewals. etc. there was shown a loss of $254 1sS.
 The company has recently completed it's financial arrangements which have been under negotiation for some time, through the First National bank and the First Trust and Savings Bank. both of Chicago It will issue s1O000.0OO first mortgage bonds. protected by a sinking fund which will form the collateral security for loan of s7,OO0,0oO on it's two and three year notes A statement issued with the re- port says that the proceeds of these notes provide funds sufficient to take up the floating indebtedness of the company, which. on September 30 was s4so5, ,909 S6; also ample additional working capital to take care of present requirements.
 At the annual meeting of the company in Jersey City, Charles F. Guthrie was elected a director to succeed F. N Ohl, while Leonard c, Hanna. George A. Baird. P L. Kimberly and A. W. Houston were reelected to the board.

On Delicate Ground.

From the New York Post.
 Senator Knox trod on delicate ground last night when, at the Union League club. he undertook to praise the present administration for creating a federal de- partment for the supervision of corpora tions. As the ex-attorney general ex- plained the head of the department of commerce and labor had power Ito gather such information and data as will enable the President to make recommendation to congress for additional legislation and to compel the giving of testimony and the production of such books and papers and the making of such reports as may be necessary for the purposes of investiga- tion." Now we presume that republican orators would not be pointing with pride to the new department unless they be- lieved 1t to have been efficient. If 1t Is ef ficient it has collected a great deal of 'information" about the inside workings of corporations. Yet all the information which that department has gathered has been and Is in the possession of the gen. tleman at present holding a position one of the customary and legitimate duties of which is to collect a campaign fund The more efficient the department has been the greater the improprety of the ex- secretarys present position. We are en- tirely willing to believe that in his deal ings with the heads of corporations MT. Cortelyou has taken scrupulous care to speak softly" None the less his for mer colleagues praise of the department of commerce and labor means. if it means anything. that it's head possessed a "big stick" whether he used it or not.

NATIONAL POLITICS.
How Roosevelt Aided Rebellion.

How Roosevelt Aided Rebellion. From the Arkansas Gazette.
 The Panama revolution eliminated in November. 190s
 On October 1O 1903, President Roose- welt wrote a personal letter to Dr. Al bert Shaw. editor of the Review of Re- views in which he said:
 Privately. I freely say to you that I should be delighted if Panama were an independent state, or if 1t made itself so at this moment; but for me to say SC pub llely would amount to an instigatlon of a revolt, and therefore I cannot say it.
 But there cannot be a doubt that the French Panama canal agent who was at the time in Washington promoting the isthmian revolution knew perfectly well that President Roosevelt would be "de- lighted' if Panama were an independent state, or if it should make itself one at that moment. We believe it was only be- cause he knew this to be the attitude or the President that he felt safe in going on with his plans to dsmember repub- lie that was at peace with the United States. In this view of the case, President Roosevelt is as guilty in the matter of the Panama rebellion as though he had pub licly instead of privately announced his wish that Panama might become an inde- pendent state
 It Is true that he did not publicly tell his position. but as Cicero would say, while he was silent, he cried out.

"A Popular Souvenir"

"The miniature figures of Vulcan that are on sale at the St. Louis fair are per haps the most unique and interesting souvenirs that can be purchased at the big show" said a Birmingham lawyer who has recently returned from trip to St. Louis. There are trinkets by the hundreds some of them cheap and simple, others costly and elaborat but I saw nothing that was more durable, more artistic and more attractive than the Vulcan statuettes. While l am not prepared to state definitely, l dare say that hundreds of these figures are sold to people who have not seen Vulcan and do not know what he represents, but are merely pleased with his small prototypes as souvenirs.
 By the way, the souvenir business at the fair does not seem to be paying as well as was at first expected Before the cold weather started and the crowds of visitors increased there was much dis content among the vendors of trnkets. To show you how anxious they were to make a sale, l will relate a little expe- rience that befell me in front of an ori- ental bazaar. l asked a merchant the price of a purse. One dollar he an- swered. It did not look very valuable to me. so l turned away. What will you giveg asked the man. 'Oh, 50 cents, answered. hoping to get rid of him. Here you are, he answered, with an alaerlty that took my breath away.
 'I am told, also, that prices along the Pike have been raised now that the ex- position can be said to be on the home stretch. Whether this state of affairs is the result of not enough, or too much, business, is question that the Pike showmen can best answer"

LIFE PEOPLE LIVE ON
 TOP OF A SKYSCRAPER

all the attractions of a desirable summer resort, all the conveniences of the city. and all the seclusion and safety of 8 rural retreat
 These up-to-date cliff-dwellers are by no means forced to put up with cramped quarters. Though their houses are small. they contain plenty of room for family of ordinary size. As for the space which he has available for his use. the roof dweller 1t at an advantage as compared with the average city resident, or even with the exceptionally favored one who has a whole house at his disposal. The great sky scrappers have a surface space of many thousand square feet, and, as their aerial inhabitants are not compelled to divide this space with any other occu- pants, they have half an acre, more or less. for dooryards, playgrounds and gar dens.
 The wide expanses offer tempting oppor- tunities for the housewife who is fond of attractive flower beds or the man who indulges liking for small gardening. One may see very pretty and artistically ar ranged groups of outdoor blossoms or clusters of climbing vines or beds of early lettuce on some of these roofs. There is bright sunshine all day long in pleasant weather, and the facilities for growing flowers or vegetables under glass are of the best. One consolation to the roof gar dener is that his neighbors dogs or chick ems never can break in and overrun his choicest plots to their great havoc.
 The children of the roofs have play grounds that their less fortunate fellows lower down may well envy. The great height might make a child who was unac- customed to it afraid, but his feeling soon wears off and the little ones scam per about as much at ease and less In danger than they would be in the street below

Price of Cotton Seed.

The oil mills of Mississippi have ad- vanced the price of cotton seed f. o. b. at shipping points to $15 a ton, or twenty-five cents a bushel. Many think seed should command this year thirty cents bushel. The indica- tions are that seed will be advanced by Christmas to about SIS ton
 The advancing price of seed is fur ther evidence that bumper crop is not in sight. The veterans of the oil trade are not deceived by the heavy movement of the opening days of the crop year They know the cause of it, and they know it will run it's course speedily.
 It is peraaps idle to talk against the sale of seed from the land, but those who are investigating the de. creasing production per acre of cotton lands need not look further than the oii lhihs' lHey ulu It, UT ldlhcl thcJ are decreasing production right along by taking away rich product that should go back to the soil that grew it. This is however an idle question. The sale of seed cannot be stopped. The ideal position under the circum- stances is to get from the oil mill as much meal and hulls in weight as the seed will make, leaving the oil behind to recompense the mill for it's trouble. This at present cannot be done, but in the long run the farmer will be enabled to regain all but the oil, and that is said to possess no fertilizing yalua
