POVERTY STILL ABIDES.

1t is distressing 10 note the records
of the Boards of Health i'll the larger
cities and to see the distress that pre-
walls amongst the laboring people. The
artisans are not so much affected, al
though there is considerable suffering
where strikes prevail. In New York,
the death rate is reported higher than
in any other year since the conSolida-
ton of Manhattan, brought about by
the hard winter, many being ill fed
and poorly clothed. The high price
of the necessaries of life and the low
wages paid in many industries has led
to lack of proper nutrition, and the
poor are now unable to resist through
the i'll health contracted in the severe
cold last winter. The public charities
are overtaXed, and much extreme pow
erty is prevalent. The general agent
of the Society for Improving the Con-
dition of the Poor says that many OF
the people they are brought in contact
with are self-respecting. Woodworking
men and women who have been re-
duced to want by sickness or other
circumstances over which they had 10
control. This class never comes to us
until their last resource has been eX-
hausted." Many other similar distress
ing facts are given, the most ominous
of which is what the manager of the
Municipal Lodging House says, that
Our increase is due to the hard
times"
And yet the Republican leaders, such
is Secretaries Shaw and Wilson, are
OH the stump proclaiming that The
people were never so prosperous" and
the protective tariff and high trust
prices are the cause of prosperity.

LODGES DILEMMA.

The business men of Boston, Mass,
seem determined to force the reciproc-
ity issue regardless of part or its eff
feet upon the Republican organization.
Having coerced Senator Lodge TO say
that he favors reciprocity, though he
effectually killed the reciprocity trent
Use in the Senate, these 10000 business
men, mostly Republicans, are now in
tent on forcing the coming State con
vention of their party to take straight
out reciprocity with Canada whether
it Injuries some petty industry or not.
Senator Lodge will now have to fish
OF cut bait, for although he succeeded
in defeating the adoption of reciproc-
ity plank by the convention that elect
ed delegates to the national convention
he seems to have closed the door to
such position at this time. These
fractional fights in Massachusetts, and
other States between the Republicans
will surely aid the Democrats, for the
Republican machine everywhere anu
the speakers of that party are preach
ing a do-nothing policy.

MIR. ROOSEYELTS FOOLERY...
Bold Faced Attempt to Deceive the
People With Talk Of Economy.

i 1t has come to be kind Of common
agreement that nobody has a keener
appreciation of the homely wit or T.
7. Barnum's saying about the amer
lean people liking TO be humbuggeo
than Theodore Roosevelt. His letter OF
acceptance is the most blatant num-
buggery that has appeared in any OF
his public utterances. Mr.. RooseVeit
evidently thinks it applies to politics
as we'll as to an alleged dog-faced man
among his freaks.
In that wonderful letter of accept
ance, he says:
THE expenditures of the Nation have
been managed in a spirit of economy
as far removed from waste as from
niggardliness; and in the future every
effort will be continued to secure an
economy as strict as is consistent With
efficiency
His promise TO continue the same
kind of Roosevelt economy, with a
long unbroken record of notorious ex-
trayagance with deficits constantly i'm
pending, will not fool the Americsn
people. This is no dog-faced man freak
of the Barnum sort; it is merely one of
the most characteristic Of Roosevelt's
bluffs.
Representative Burton, of Ohio, made
a speech last spring in which he SOL
EMMY warned the House of Represen-
tatives of useless expenditures and Of
the alarming growth of the tendency to
extravaganza. 1t was applauded by
Republicans as well as Democrats. 1t
was delivered at time when the [
of extravaganza III the Postoffice De-
inn
which scandaized the administration.
1t is idle for Mr. Roosevelt to attempt
to recite the various great enterprises
of the Government requiring the ex
penditure of money. Appropriations
always increasing have been made for
these objects, but it is notorious that
the Government has not only been de-
frauded in numerous instances, but
that in many cases officers of the Gov
eminent in authority have been in
Collision with swindlers. 1t cannot
be denied. either that after a brief
abortive effort to punish the wrong
doors the work of the official sleuths
and those whose duty it was to admin
lister the punishment slackened and a
policy of silence and denial of publicity
was adopted. Only the other day Pres
ident Roosevelt gave out an order that
the departments must cease to give out
estimates. Is it possible Judge Parkcr's
thrust went home? If not, what was
the matter?
Why should Mr.. Roosevelt by this
order, suppressing the publicity of esti-
mates of expenditures for and in the
departments deny to the people the
privilege of proving his word, he would
continue to secure economy?'
+; 1t is the first time such an executive
order was ever issued, and coming as it
does with the very echo of the shot
from Judge Parker, at Esopus, it looks
as though there's something still rot
ten in Denmark"

DINNER PAIL NOT FULL.

The New York Irish-American. in
discussing in recent issue the tariff.
makes this observations:
The dinner pail is not full. the cost
of making it so being too great. IL IS
but partly filed, and in the case OF idle
men who are crowding labor it is some
times empty. The Dingley law has
shut out the products of foreign cheap
labor, but neither it nor amy other Fed
eral law has shut out foreign cheap Ia
Dor itself The truth about the tariff
is that it protects the few manufactur-
ers ut the cost of the many millions OF
consumers. and has been of no benefit
whatever to the workers of this coun-
try. -.

How patient and how generous the

ney for the scheme. and Mr.. j. Z. Nor

If the protective tariff increases
wages so much as the Republicans trv
to make out how is it that WAGES in
Tree trade England are so much higher
than in protected France and Cor
many. and why are wages lower in tha
Southern States than in the Northern
States, and why are wages higher in
the Western States than in the Eastern
States? There is no protection wall

Obituary.

Died, February %, 1904, Charles
and Katie. children of Joseph and
Nettie Lovette, of near Crescent, Kas.
Charles Lovette was born near
Pierre, S. D., May %, 1883, and was
aged ID years, months and % days.
Katie Lovette was born near Pierre,
S. D., February Il, 1890, and was
aged IA years and ) days. They were
seized with measles which soon termi-
mated in death, although kind friends
and able physicians ministered to
them faithfully. The parents, two
brothers and two sisters are left to
mourn the loss.
On December 20, 1903, the parents,
with the two younger children, started
to East Tennessee, where they had
been visiting among relatives and
friends. The four children who re-
manned at home were staying with
relatives while their parents were
gone. They were all taken with the
measles about the same time. The
two that remain are convalescent.
The parents were Immediately sent for
and arrived in time to take the last
look at their deceased children.
Charles and Katie were model chill
dren, worthy of imitation, and will be
missed by all who knew them. The
funeral services were conducted on
Friday, February 26, by Rev. J. E.
Crawford, of the Free Methodist
church. His text was taken from
Revelation 14:13,-.'And 1 heard a
voice from heaven saying unto me,
Write, Blessed are the dead which die
in the Lord from henceforth: Yea,
saith the Spirit, that they may rest
from their labors; and their works do
follow them" Their remains were
laid to rest in the Bethel cemetery.
Two little angels now on high,
They hand in hand together roam;
Two links now bind us to the sky,
Two fingers beckOn us to come.
Lord, give us strength our loss to bear.
And lead us in the heavenly way.
Oh! may we meet our children there
In realms of everlasting day."
ID. n. BOWERS.
