is but one answer; but we might ask
for definitions Of economy" and 'ex-
travagance." 1t is not always economy
10 hoard. nor extravaganza to spend.
We might have refused to dig the Pam
anna Canal on the pretext OF thrift, and
left our money in the treasury. We
might have denied all expenditures for
rivers and harbors, which are going on
ir spite OF failure to pass the river and
harbor bill. We might have denied the
people Of the West an appropriation to
open up the desert lands by irrigation;
and we might have sold our navy and
refused 20 build a new one. But would
that have been real economy? Is it
economy for a business man to neglect
TO paint his store, TO refuse the money
necessary for proper fixtures and to
himself wear shabby clothes? Certain
ly it is the duty Of Judge Parker to
show the governments extravaganza
specifically.
shan the wrongdoer be brought to
bay by the people. or must justice wait
upon political oligarchyg' continues
Judge Parker. The answer 10 that is
also obvious. But generally speaking
Is not the wrongdoer now punished, and
do we need Democratic adminstra-
tion to do the work for us? And so
we might go on. "Shall our govern
ment stand FOR equal opportunity or
special priviiege?" Doesn't that sound
like Bryan2 There is nothing IN II on
which anyone can base an argument.
Judge Parker gets the answer to these
questions he expects, but they do not
necessarily affect the integrity of the
Republican party.

SIMPLY MEppLERs.

ME HAVE no word Of censure for
w any person or organization
which seeks harmony ia the Republican
ranks, based on some grounds OF de-
cency; but we have only contempt for
efforts to force an agreement that are
based on false pretence and which are
not concerned In the slightest degree
about the nature Of the compromise to
be effected.
We all are familiar with the efforts
OF the Republican State Committee TO
secure harmony; il has gone so far that
dignity, il nothing more. has been sac
rificed. But as IN labor disputes. IL ono
side will not yield an inch and agree
ment Is forced, 1t means surrender for
one party.
Now we should like to ask some
questions that seem to us pertinent:
VIII the Roosevelt worklngmen's Club
endorse any ticket that may result from
compromise? Is it willing IN advance
to pledge itself to enthusiastically en-.
dorse any man OF any sort Of principle,
whose selection is brought obout by an,
sort OF methods II so. we have grow.
ing up IN our midst an element NOR,
dangerous than the Union Republican
party.
Now the club referred to issues an oc
casionai manifesto, but diligent inqulr
fails to reveal any meeting Of its tw
thousand members. or Of any consld
cradle number thereof We are tol
that these impressive and ornate doc
uments emanate from the executiv
committee. yet the names OF the mem
bers Of this committee are refused u
Consequently. We are obliged to cor
clude that the manifestoes Of n
Roosevelt workingmen's club are pr,
pared by one or two men who for the
own reasons wish to mix up in an al
fair already muddled.

given way 20 rugs and floors finished with
paint, varnish, stain or wax. The reason
for this change, however, is not hard TO

ABRAHAM LINCOLN AND EDWIN N. STANTON.
Two Shining Leaders of the Great War, l86l-l865.


In the recruitment of that powerful
force, and its subsequent great increase,
the people made great sacrifices. 1.-The
President was led along by the greatness
of their self-sacrifcing example, and as

April Is of that year it was officially
promulgated by the President that revolu-
tlOnary combinations existed in certain
States, and $4,000 militia, for three
months service, were called to suppress
said cOmbina tiOns, and to cause the laws
to be duly executed. In addition, all loyal
citizens were appealed to, that they might
favor, facilitate, and aid the effort to main
tain the honor, the integrity, and the ex-
istence of our National Union and the per-
petuity of our popular Government, and
to redress wrongs already long enough en-
dured. The President deemed it proper
to add that the first service of the forces
would, probably, be to repossess the forts,
places, and property which had been seized
from the Union. and directed that in every

Their labors were not in the field, for,
as Commander Chief and War Minister,
in the great general struggle, they could
not appear IN person upon the fields of
minor engagements. But they accom-
plished more than did the minor COM
manders. Through their efforts battles
were made successful, and distinction was
made to crown Generals and others. Their
efforts. by day and by night, gave luster
to the armies of the Union.
Through their inspiration they were
present on every field, and organized vic
