ana many schedules. These duties affect
a vast number of interests which are
conflicting. If necessary for our welfare,
then OF course congress must consider
the question CT changing the law as a
whole or changing in any given rates OF
duty, but we must remember that when.
ever single schedule is considered some
one will appear to demand change in
almost every schedule in the law; and
when it comes to upsetting the schedules
generally the effect upon the community
would be ruinous."
Verify, two souls with but single
thought, 80 harmoniously expressed, is
not to force single special interest to
take its lips from the public breast for
fear the public, finding them unneces-
sary, might shake them all off. 1t is not
therefore to be wondered at that the
peroration Of the greatest of these was a
sort of dedication of him who had dubbed
him greatest of these" 1t was almost
as natural as sef.appreciatisn. 1t was
only altar-egOtlSm alter all.
What magnificent piece OF humor is
this unbounded adulation of our fellow
citizens in the White House by "the
chief of these How humorous to praise
so highly our fellow citizens in the White
House who, in the long line of great mell
who have filled the seat he now occupies
has himself found only about three in
his opinion worthy Of anything like un.
stinted praise-George Washington,
Abraham Lincoln and himself. Verify,
the other humorsts will have to retire
from business.
"The chief of these" is Mr.. Root. The
temporary chairman said, speaking OF
the republican party, Through it more
than airy other party the moral senti.
ment OF the American people finds ex-
PRESTON" Gcd save us!
Where? Going back to ancient his
tory, in the Credit Mobilier, in the Iona
saturnalia OF Southern reconstruction or
in recent history, in the Postoflce De-
partment? In the public lands bureau?
In the full sway OF bosses formerly
cursed so bitterly and now taken so
fondly to his bosom by the president? In
the pitiable kilograms inquiring just
when the patriotic and "unassisted
revolution" OF 80 or 100 men was slated"
to come off unexpectedly in Panama? In
the celebrated order OF "Hell Roaring
Jake" Smith, prescribing ten as the age
above which children were to be killed
in one of the islands of the Philippines?
The universal honeycombing OF our
national life with the corruption OF legis-
lation-bought special privileges? Time
fails me to ask where. What has ancient
history to do with present iniquities
anyhow? Mr.. Root says, offenders
have been relentlessly prosecuted and
sternly punished" Isn't this remarka.
BILE "thundering in the index" for you
when compared with actual republican
accomplishments, especially when com.
pared with the refusal OF republican
house of representatives to :make cul.
prits face even 80 much as COMPRESSION,
al investigation; when compared with
the absolute and constant refusal of the
republican speaker to recognize anybody
for the purpose Of making motion even
of that character? If there ever was a
determination fully entertained and
finally carried out, it was the determine
ton OF the republican administration
and the republican legislative body to
see to it that nobody should investigate
the alleged culprits in the postoffice de-
partment except their colleagues in the
executive branch OF the government.
