look for Spring Trade.

New York, Jan. Pr. G.. Dun & Co. e
Weekly Review of Trade says: Weather
conditions have furnished the chief in
fiuences in the general trade situation.
To some extent traffic has been hindered,
especially at the east, but the latest re-
turns Of railway earnings for January
show an increase of 3.9 per cent. over
1903. Consumption of fuel was increased,
and retail trade in coal greatly expanded,
but no commensurate gain at first hands
Is reported, owing to the large supplies
held by dealers. Retail distribution of
footwear and heavy wearing appeared
felt the stimulus, and annual clearance
sales removed acculnulations of dry
goods, millinery, etc. Wholesale bust
ness is fairly active, travelling statesmen
sending in about average orders, and job
bling trade is normal. Manufacturing
plants are more active, with little change
In quotations, and me outlook for spring
trade is considered favorable. Collec-
lions are somewhat more prompt. Lead
ing staples have risen to new maximum
prices for the crop year. Iron and steel
plants that resumed at the turn of the
year have obtained sufficient business
to continue operating, and thus far the
adjustment of wages has not produced
the threatened strikes.
Failures this week numbered 1858
In the United States against 265 last year,
and 80 in Canada compared with ~ q

prosperous spring trade finds support in

awakening Of interest at some north

Encouraging to Democrats.

West Virginia Republicans are in
such bitter wrangle over questions of
state taxation that the Democrats are
in high glee and hope to land the Noun
tain State once more in the Democratic
column. The split is SO serious and the
factions so belligerent that the United
States senators and representatives
from West Virginia met with the other
Republican leaders of the state last
week in Washington and held a two
days confab, trying to harmonize
things, but they We're essaying the inn
possible and adjourned without doing
anything-not only without doing any
thing, but animated by the sentiment,
Every fellow for himself, and the
devil take the hindmost." Redhot fights
are on for Mr.. Scott's seat in the senate
of the United States, for the governor
ship and, IN fact, for all the Offices in
sight. 1t will be remembered that from
the day when West Virginia pulled
herself from under the carpetbaggcrs
and scalawags down to 1894 she was
counted as part and parcel of the solid
ooASAS eAAss "hAAC INV u ElNl bis-
Democratic majority was nevertheless
reliably Democratic. In the awful
slump of 1894 she Topped to the Re
publicans and has stayed with them
ever since. She will be welcomed with
open arms by the Democrats if she re-
turns to the fold, with the two senator's,
five representatives in congress and
seven votes in the electoral college. But
II she continues to show signs of COM
Ing back to the Democrats, the way
that the Republican barrels will be
opened to hold her in the Republican
column will be sight for men and
angels. Senator Scott has been much
in evidence rs Senator Hanna's boom
er, and the chances are that no tears
would be shed by President Roosevelt
if Senator Scott should be defeated by
another-a Republican, of course. The
more West Virginia Republicans wool
each other the better it is for the Dem
ocrats and consequently for the coun-
try. More power to their claws.

occasion to once more exploit "the

The same effect on such redoubtable

burn. Lacey and Cousins as shaking a
red rag has upon a mad bull. The
spirit of bitterness heretofore existing
among Republicans in the state as to
the tariff question entered into the
mayoralty fight-the bitterness, not the
tariff fight. This is demonstrated by
the following dispatch from Des
Moines:
Discord today attended the mayoralty
primaries. which resulted in victory for
George Mattern against former Mayor

Sonae Election Eetimatcs.
Figuring on the outcome of the next
election has already begun. Mr.. David
Graham Phillips, the man who writes
the thrilling tales of the wheat pit, has
contributed an article to Harper's
Weekly in which his final conclusion
seems to be that the Republicans are
IN Il deep hG.e. from which they have
only the most moderate chance of
emerging. lie comedies to the Democrats

these missing votes can most readily
be secured in Maryland Isl, New York

ing total OF SO. Another way of get
ting the 50 votes would be to omit Indi-
ana and Illinois; and make up for them
with states which have given us to be-

out the following table to illustrate:

maryland ......... Utah ...........

Mr.. Phillips thinks that the war be-
tween Platt and Odell will turn New
York into the Democratic column, and
if New York so goes, New Jersey and
Connecticut will probably accompany
her. He believes that, no matter which
faction gets the nomination for gov
ernor. the other will handle the knife
to the undoing of the nominee. The
Republican presidential nominee will

War.

We do not refer to the prospective
war between Russia and Japan. That
has been discussed until all are tired of
it. Reference is here made to more
important war--that between the Re
publican factions in Kentucky, one
headed by Ex-Governor Bradley and
one by DR.. w. Godfrey Hunter, ex-
minister to Guatemala, ex-chairman of
the Kentucky Republican state COM
mittec and at present representative
in congress. Bradley is bench legged
fighter from Lancaster, on the verge of
the blue grass region, while DR.. Hun
ter, who is somewhat Of Chesterfield,
halls from the Eleventh district, in
which there is not Democratic county
and where the Republicans outnumber
the Democrats SO greatly that at the
last election, when three Republicans
and one Democrat were candidates, DR..
Hunter was elected. One of his Repub-
lfcan opponents was the man who
taught me to read Latin, the Hon.
John D. White, who was first elected
to congress when only twenty-five years
old. White is probably the most quar-
relsome man in the United States, but,
contrary to the legend as to such char
acters, 'he will fight at the drop Of a
hat and drop it himself" Henry Wat
terson once dubbed him "the crested
jayhawker Of the mountains" OF
course White is lining up with Bradley
not because lie loves Bradley, but be-
cause he hates Dr. Hunter, who has
just defeated him for congress. The
fur is certain to fly in very large guam
titles. There is enough of the feud ele-
ment in it to cause it to appeal to
Kentuckians. DR.. Hunter was chair
man of the Republican committee in
1895 when Bradley was elected gov
ernor and claims that he made Brad
ley. He also claims that Bradley took
1t into his noddle that he was greater
than his creator and would not help
him get elected to the United States
senate when he was the caucus nomi-
nee. Consequently the good DR.. Hunter
will carve Governor Bradley with a
great deal of pleasure if he can Brad
ley leads the Roosevelt forces, while
Hunter leads the anti Roosevelt CO.
horts. At this distance and time it
looks like Il Roosevelt victory.

President Hadley of Yale is no doubt
an honest, learned and patriotic man,
but he certainly possesses some rather
peculiar opinions. His latest one, pub,
l1cly expressed at Cambridge, is that
a poor man who enters politics will
have to yield sooner or later to the
wrong influence or else get out and
stave." That is a most unfortunate
and fallacious statement The history
OF the republic fatty contradicts it.
Many poor men have entered politics,
have become famous in that field and
have yielded not to the wrong influence.
Nor did they starve when they got out.
Why should they starye? Why cannot
man who was lawyer, teacher, ply
sician, farmer, merchant, manufactur-
er or what not return to his original
occupation when he gets out of politics
and earn his living as he did before en-
tering upon a political career? Why
should only rich men take hand in
conducting public affairs? President
laadley should revise that opinion.
