WEDNESDAY,, ooropBR 5. 1904.

The republicans have nominated John c. Cutlers the Mormon with five wives, as their candidate for govern or of Utah, and Senator Shoot, one of the twelve apostles. was "an open and active supporter of MT Cutler" which is further evidence of the alliance of the republican party with the Mor- mon church, says an exchange. And yet, some people will not believe that a compact has been entered into be- tween the republican leaders and the Mormon heirarchy to deliver the elect oral vote of Utah for Roosevelt in ex- change for support in seating Shoot as senator, and, from appearances, Cutler for governor. That will make the Mormons quite powerful political ly, and the propaganda for polygamy can go gayly on.

s'The tariff," said Mir Havemeyer, the head of the sugar trust in an un- usual burst of candor, lis the mother Of all the trusts" Nearly every trust is directly supported by tariff taxes Witness the steel trust, which pays dividends upon hundreds of millions of inflated stocks by selling steel rails at home for $2S a ton, and in Canada [ ,- $20 per ton. The republican party has conducted sham attack upon some Of the t--usts, but has carefully avoided action that might harm any of them. It has commenced no crimi- nal prosecution and made no attempt to interfere with the operations of the great trusts; and 1t proposes to enrich the shipping trust by subsidies paid in cash, contributed by the taxpayers of the country. If you want the ille- gal trusts destroyed, and are opposed to ship subsidies, vote for Judge Parker.

HER MONEY ALWAYS NEW.

One of the tellers of a prominent savings bank was discussing some pc culiarities of his business. we get money over the counter in every imag inable condition" he remarked. Most of the time notes are handed to us in a dirty, crumbled state that makes difficult handling, but there is one de posltor who always brings bills in an immaculate condition. This is an old German woman. The bank notes she hands in are as crisp as if they had just left the treasury. It used to pug gle me to account for the crispness of the old notes she brought along notes that by appearance had been in use long enough to make them as limp as rags. So one day remarked about it, and found, toA my surprise that the old lady carefully ironed all her bank notes. She explained that she liked to have new money, and pressing with hot iron made all the old bills like new. thought her fad somewhat foolish at first, but later it occurred to me that 1t would be a good thing if people everywhere ironed their bank notes. It would kill any gerlns.- Philadelphia Record.

There is a lot of nonsense being written and q talked about troi- ley matters just at present Everybody wants trolley exten- sion. It is good for business. It is good for land owners. It is good for pleasure seekers and 1t is a good thing generally all around. But, and here's the rub, do the taxpayers want to foot the bills, and allow corporation that can well afford to pay, and should pay, just the same as an individual would be obliged to, get all these rights and privileges for a mere song? Our en- terprising business man, A. N. TFott, of the Woodruff Grocery Go, struck the nail squarely on the head when he said:
 ''I think the extension of the trolley is a good thing for the city and for Watertown As regards the city pay ing for part of the extension | think the city pays for altogether too much. Tn my business | have to pay for ev- erything, and why should not the trol- ley company pay for it's extensfon?''
 And even our evening contemporary, which has been friend of the trolley company, sees the error of its way. In last evenings issue 1t had the follow ing:
 "The other thing Is that even the worms are beginning to turn against the trolley company. Having done so much for it they wonder why it halts just where they do, as if it had no original impulses of progress They ex- press inpatience with it because it doesn't reciprocate. That is the feel ing that comes ultimately to all who try to help to get it's own way.

Tn his speech in the United States senate in which he advocated the re peal of the desert-land act, the timber and-stone act, and the commutatfori clause of the homestead act, Paris Gib- son, senator from Montana, said: "Our counny's growth has been so remark able, owing to virgin soil and the agri- cultural possibilities of the middle west, that we seem to have taken no time to consider what the condition of the nation will be when the middle of the present century shall be reached. The population of the United States in 1850 was 23,O0O,O0O. Tn 1850 1t should be 200, O,OO0 GOO, unless the nation shall be torn to pieces by internal dis sensions or by wars with foreign ra- tions. Is it not therefore the part of wisdom and patriotism to resolve now that what Is remaining of the public domain shall be held sacredly for our people who will make homes upon it? Jefferson, Hamilton, Jackson, Benton, Lincoln and Cleveland fact, all the great men of our country for the past one hundred years-lhave impressed upon the nation the dangers of land lordism and the supreme importance of preserving the public domain for home makers; and yet we maintain land acts in the interest of the landlord and not in the interest of the freeholder. Is there no danger to the future of this country when we make laws that en- able capitalists and foreigners to ac- quire vast bodies of public land upon which system of tenantry is being es- tablished as absolute as any that can be found in Europe?'
