To to-day the state department had

representations to Russia might be

During its period Of enforced mac

hands OF the department only short

based on the statements contained
in Senator Mitchelrs protest and
couched in the form OF an inquiry,
had been prepaid and forwarded to

Il tbs impossible to learn the exact

that the Russian government was

Cook on Corporation Taxess

Ia his speech at Shelbina last week,
secretary of state Cook, said; "Mr.
Akius has been reported as saying that
the slate government is run by a ring OF
~treeboOters, who are 10 the service of
the corporations. When the Republl.
car we're in control Of this state the
railroads were mo- taxed a cent, and
now the service corporations are taxed
here much higher than IN ether
Illinois, Iowa or Kansas. Take the
Eads bridge. for instance. One-half is
taxed in this STAT and one-half in Hi
nols. The half 10 Illinois is assess
ed $4,000 and the half IN Missoui /
81, $4,000. The differerc e in favor of
Missouri was even greater in the case
OF the WiggIns Ferry. In Illinois the
railroads were assessed on an average
less than $4,000 a mile; in Missouri,
Sl2, 900, in Iowa, So, 900; 10 Kansas,
1000 a mile. The Burlington is as
sessed twice as much per mile in this
state as in Illinois and much higher
than In Iowa or Kansas. If, then,
Missouri officials were favorable to the
corporations, what must be said OF re-
publican Illinois, Iowa end Kansas?''

Selling Abroad Cheaper Than Here.

Now our COnsuls are about all come
home To sPellbind for the Republican
ticket, 1t would be well If they we're To-
vited TO tel the voters what American
goods they lave found 10 be selling
abroad cheaper than here. For IN.
stance, W. R. Bigham, our Consul 10
Cape Town, South Africa, might IN
form the voters Of dozens Of articles OF
necessity and luxury that are sold the.e
for an average Of so per cent, less than
Is paid for the same products here.
Consul Riddle, at Cairo. Egypt, could
tell the voters how the steel trust de-
livered 10000 tons Of steel rails in that
country for So a ton less than 1t charges
the nome railroads, and perhaps be
might explain the coincidence that the
difference IN price is about matched by
the duty of $7.84 E ton with which the
steel trus is protected here, where thu
price IS S2S. And so instances Nigh.
lie multiplied In almost every country
where there is an American Consul.
But will hese Republican Office hold
eri dare TO tell the truth about export
pllces, il would be disastrous to stthe
partyP' Ii they did it would probably
result in more discreet men being sent
back IN their places. Senator Aldrich,
the close friend and political adviser
OF some of the great trusts, acknow-
lodged in a speech at the last session
OF Congress that some of our products
were being dumped" abroad, but ex-
planned that it was only shopworn and
out Of date stuff, which was being
exported ut less prices than 1t wps be-
ing sold for here. But the orerpower-
ing evidence that the dumping process
extends to enormous quantities of ny
to date goods, has overwhelmed the
"shopworn" theorists, and they are
standing pat with silence that is thick
enough to he cut with a knife.
With a Democratic President the
Consdls could be made to talk and a
Democratic House of Representative
would investigate the whole nefarlous
bu'iness. When the people of the
United States understand, as many are
beginning to do, how they are being
bled by high trust prices and how the
foreigners are %6eneiling at their ex-
pense, they will make short work of the
party that has imposed such unfair con-
ditlons upon them.

Tariffs OF Other Countries.

Next the Republican campaign book
discusses the "tariffs of other couu-
tries"-how Germany, France, Italy,
Austria hungary, Russia, Spain, etc.,
have settled down to tine good old
policy of protection, very low wages
and extreme poverty in these countries
as compared with England or Australia
or Canada, in which countries tariff
duties are comparatively low. Strange
to say, the wages appearto decline and
poverty to increase as tariff walls be-
come higher. Russia probably has a
higher tariff wall than any other
European country. Her wages are
about the lowest and the poverty and
degradation of her citizens the greatest
Of any country in Europe. # tariff
taxation brings prosperity, she should
now be a land of plenty.

results strengthen the belief that Yale will
again be victorious. Her athletes showed
up extremely WELL although Harvard's en-
tries qualified in nearly all Of the contests.
The new grounds are far from an improve
ment on Berkeley Oval, from the spectators
point of view. Instead of seeing all the
finishes. as at Berkeley Oval. from one
place. it Is necessary to make at least four
different shifts. The track. however, was
very fast.
Probably one of the greatest surprises OF
the day was the failure of Glass of Yale to
qualify in the shot put. De Witt of Prince
ton did not take part In this contest and
F. H. Schoenfuss of Harvard made the best
showing, sending the shot a distance of
forty-three feet nine inches. C. H. Robin
son. another of the crimson representatives.
qualified In this contest, and In spite or
Glass downfall r. Kinney and H. G. Lord
Of Yale succeeded In being among the first
five to qualify.
From the easy way McLanahan went over
the vaults the contest seems to be his. al
though Ave qualified in this contest each

high and low hurdles without much exer-
ton, and from the graceful way In which
he went over the hurdles 1t seems that only
the unexpected can keep him from winning
both races today. J. v. Mulligan of
Georgetown won his heat In the quarter
mile run in a great finish. and 1t Is likely
that he will make 1t hot for j. B. Taylor,
the speedy colored runner Of Pennsylvania,
when they meet In the finals.
The absence Of w. E. Schultz, the star
runner of Cornell. was felt In the half
mile heats. The good race Of E. B. Par
sons has made him strong favorite, al
though he will be compelled to travel IN
fast company In the finals. W. r. Dear
of the Quaker University won his heat In
the ia ST time of O % for the Onward dash.
