The G. o. p. Machine.

All the acts and doings of the COM
ing Republican national convention are
being fixed up at the White House.
The candidate for vice president, the
platform, who shall be temporary and
permanent chairman, even the
speeches are all being considered and
censored by President Roosevelt.
Political bosses and dictators gen.
orally have a hard time of it, so the
report that the President is much ex-
hausted by the constant and pro-
Ionged conferences that are being
held is probably correct. 1t would
seem to be a total waste of time and
money to hold a convention, the pro-
ceedings of which are all arranged
in advance, but for the sake OF ap-
pearances the forms at Chicago will
have to be gone through with.
The public interest in the Republi-
can convention will be dampened, for
the cut-and-dried program will be
known and published long before the
delegates ratify the decisions OF the
bosses. The G. o. P. is indeed per-
feet machine and runs smoothly if
oiled literally.

The Tariff and the Railroads.

The Iron Age said recently: Re
Gently several railroad officials have
expressed themselves as strongly OPP
posed to paying s2s ton for rails
and insist that the price must be re-
duced before the mills can reasonably
expect any large contracts" AS the
Steel Trust is selling steel rails in
foreign countries for nearly two-thirds
of what its price is here this kick of
the railroads is reasonable one But
as tariff protection is the principal
cause of the increased cost in the
United States, why do the railroads
all support the political party that
plumbers them? If the tariff on steel
rails was repealed the price would at
once drop to $21 ton, because If the
Steel Trust did not reduce the price
foreign made rails would be imported.
High-priced rails aid in making high
freight and passenger rates, so the
voters of the United States are also
interested in the repeal of the steel
rail schedule. AS to the railroad cor
poration's support of the protection
lists policy, the favors they get from
the Republicans must much more than
overhalanca the extra price paid for

laps ARE PRESSING FORWARD.
Heading for Shallow Place In Hun
River-When They Cross Kuro-
patkln's Line of Communications
Will Be Threatened.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 26.-Absence
OF detailed reports from the seat of
war, despite the important character
of events that are believed to be de-
veloping around Mukden, leads to the
suppositien that General Kuropatkin
may, after all, not seriously contest
the Japanese advance, and that the
long expected battle at Mukden may
turn out to be merely rear guard
action on large scale.
General Sakaharoff reports that the
Japanese army is moving from Bensi-
aputze toward Flu pass, village six
miles northeast of Mukden, and near
the right bank of the Hun river. The
river at this point is shallow. and pro-
badly for this reason the locality has
been selected by the Japanese for
crossing.
If the Japanese gain a foothold at
Flu pass, General Kuropatkin's posi-
ion at Mukden will be insecure, as
the Japanese will from thence be able
to threaten the Russian line of COM
munication.
Flu pass is only twenty miles north
of Bentisiaputze, but at the present
rate of progress the Japanese will
probably occupy four or five days in
traversing these twenty miles.
. The Russian force south of Mukden
is believed to consist of only one
army corps, which is acting as rear
guard. and is not intended to offer a
serious resistance to the Japanese.
Mukden.-Russians are using war
balloons southeast of Mukden to OBJ
serve the movements of the Japanese.
|, The line of outposts established by
the Japanese is so effective that not
even the Chinese have been able to
penetrate it. 1t is impossible, there
fore, to say definitely how Marquis
is believed General Kurolki's army
stretches from Bensiht to Bentsia-
putze and the armies of Generals Oku
and Nodzu from Yentai along the high
road and railroad to Shaepu, sixteen
miles south of Mukden, while fourth
army is moving from Dziantchan
across the Da mountains. All those
roads converge at Mukden. OF the
four armies, those of Oku and Nodzu
are nearest Mukden and their pro
gress will have to be slackened in
order to permit Kuroki and the
thanking columns to have time to
come up. Meantime, Oku and Nodzu
have command of the railroad. Sup
plies of grain and ammunition are car
ried from Yentai over heavy roads
and exposed to capture by Cossacb
riders.
There has been an improvement
in the weather at Mukden, which is
of great help to the Japanese.

CHANGES IN TARIFF.
Needs Of Philippines Being Invesiiga'
ted by InsuIar Bureau,

Washington, Sept. 22.-The insular
bureau has been notified that the
commission in the Philippine Islands,
which has been making careful study
for the past six months of the exist
ing of the tariff with a view to modi-
fication and improvement in many re-
spects has completed its work and
made a report to the collector of
customs in the PhilipT'-"~ 1t is the
intention of Colonel lizards, chief of
the insular bureau to give the pro-
jected changes in the tariff the widest
publicity in order to elicit criticisms
and suggestions from American mer-
cants and manufacturers, before the
measure is submitted by Secretary
Taft to congress in the shape of
proposed amendment of the existing
Philippine act.

OUTSIDER BUTTED IN.
Deputies Were Indignant and Defeated
His Craft,

Port Au Prince, Hayti, Sept. 22.-
The fact that deputy was interrupt
ed by an outsider while speaking in
the chamber of communes has caused
an international incident of a mild
character. The Haytain government
some time ago granted two American
citizens concession for the construc-
ton and exploitation of railroad
from Gonaives to Hinche, an impor-
tant line passing through rich part
of the country. The concession was
being discussed in the chamber yes
terday when one of the occupants of
the strangers gallery, foreigner, in
terrupted deputy who was speaking,
which caused so much indignation
among the deputies that the motion
to approve the concession was re-
jected.
President Nord, however, has in
formed the American minister, Mr..
Powell, that reparation will be made
for the regrettable incident.

Small Fights at Telling And Saulungku

Toxic, Sept. 26.-An official tele-

place at the towns of Telling and San
lungku, sixty miles northeast of
Lao Yang on September 20. The dis
patch says:
Our detachment advanced through

that if they will buy Defiance Cold

will save not only time, because II

icals. If your grocer tries to sell you q

Although the farmer does not set
aside a portion of his produce and
hand it over directly to the tariff
beneficiaries, he might just as well do
so for all the difference it would
make, in effect. He sells his produce
at fixed prices in the open markets
of the world, and out of the money re-
ceived must pay certain portion to
the monopolies in excess of what their
goods are worth. He is poorer by
