/ Extravagant Expenditure.
"Extravagance is running riot in
federal, state and municipal govern
ments in spite of the we'll directed
effort of some excellent officials. The
indebtedness of municipal governments
are steadily piling UP, bond issues are
increasingly frequent and the people
have not the satisfaction in many m
stances of full equivalent in improve
ments for the money expended. Ana
the federal government is leading in
the race of great expenditures. Ere
long the people will demand reform IN
administrative expenses. And they
will do it now if they are made to ap-
preciate the whole truth.
Not a Machine.
"The democratic party is not ma
chine 1t is a body of citizens who be-
lieve that on the whole it's fundamen-
tai principles are best adapted to the
conduct of our government. Among
so many patriotic, intelligent men, it is
inevitable that divergence OF opinion as
to minor questions and differences urg-
ed as to the correctness of the dlspo-
sition of dead issues, should be found.
The party is concededly united today
as to every vital article of faith which
can reasonably enter into the canvass.
Our adversaries are entrenched, In fuil
possession of every department OF the
government and it is q mistaken pollcy
that would drive away voters who
would help to GUST them. The cause
can not be advanced by attack on 9TH
ers within the party with whom we
have had disagreements, but who are
now working with US for common re-
suit.
Pleads for Harmony.
"All men who have attained any de-
gree of prominence have their friends
and the exercise Of ordinary prudence
forbids alienation of any who are will
ing and anxious to assist. The COM
ing election is not to be determined
by the September vote, in hopelessly
republican states. where local issues
and candidates even are grievously
handicapped, but the result in Vermont
on Tuesday admonishes us and there
can be no harm in giving voice to the
admonition that harmonious co-opera-
ton of all and the elimination Of per-
.sonal, factional and uninpcrtant differ
enees, involving no surrender Of princj-
ple. are essential to success"
After the speaking was over Judge
Parker and members of his family
greeted all the guests at an informal
reception, held on the veranda The
entire delegate and other visitors
then proceeded to a boat, where lunch
con was served.

Mukden. Sept Wednesday night
delayed Fighting has ceased and the
Russian transport and army is moving
without interception. There is nucn
uncertainty concerning the movements

impossible to say definitely yet wheth-

farther north Kuropatkin evidently
is not seeking to renew battle, but if
challenged he will not decline an en-

Gainesville, Va, Sept. S.-The two
armies are again in the field. This
time the brown army is the aggressor.
1t is to strike the blue army as soon
as preliminary operations against the
capital at washington are complete.
Owing to postponement of hostilities
until this morning, it is a safe predic-
ton that no fighting will occur today
outside a collision of cavalry forces
which were pushed to the front by both
commanders.

Big Trunk Lines.

wooden ties used by railroads. A lum-

a reasonable price and these are being
forced into using steel ties, and will
place big orders with the Carnegie
company as soon as an acceptable
shape can be made The wooden ties
now used are coming principally from
Florida. Transportation from that
state is making the cost prohibitive.
Carnegie steel officials admitted that
steel ties are being experimental with,
but refused to give further information

ST. Petersburg, Sept. s.-A brief
Mukden dispatch received today from
the Associated Press Russian cores
pondent, dated the Seventh is the latest
word from the front 1t is probably all
the censor would allow to be sent, and
offers no solution of the question
whether Kuropatkin is continuing his
march northward. But it seems to in
dicate that such course is contingent
upon the ability of Oyama to try to
repeat at Mukden the enveloping move
ment which failed at Liao Yang. The
only thing certain seems to be for the
moment everything is quiet.
Novoe Vremya today published an
editorial urging appointment of Kuro-
patkin as commander-in-ch chief of the
y
Russian forces in the far east. Evil
dently this aims at Viceroy Alexieff
who has repeatedly been represented as
interfering with Kuropatkin's plans.
Nothing more important than rear
guard actions marked the march to
Mukden. The region south Of that city
is now clear of Russians. The Japan,
ese are reported to be moving up about
road with view to surrounding Muk-
den, but whether Kuropatkin will ac-
cept an engagement or continue north-
ward will probably depend at the decis-
i've moment upon the temper and con-
dition of the troops.
