Mr.. BeImOnt's Opportunity,

Mr.. Perry Belmont, distinguished
as a former member of the House,
American minister to Spain, major
and inspector general in the war with
the same country, many times con-
tributor to the Democratic purse. and
always the silk stocking in politics,
has become the chief champion of
campaign publicity. He has drafted
q bill TO prevent contributions by
involuntary subscribers" and now
being in Washington, he authorizes
one of the Capitals newspapers to
publish an interview on the general
subject of campaign contributions.
II is evident the interviewer was
exceptionally careful For the brief
of the interviewee's views bears d
surprising resemblance to an article
by Mr.. Belmont published several
months ago in one of our heaviest
magazines. Wherefore it is fair to
note that this paragraph is more re-
haarkable for things it does not re-
veal than for those 1t does:
Whr. total sun. at the command Of
the Democratic National Committee
the Buchanan campaign was less than
S35.090 and the amount expended by the
Republican National Committee during
the Lincoln campaign in 1860 was a little
over 800. 99Q Contrast this with the
enormously increased expenditures dur
ing the recent Presidential campaign.
and note the alarming growth of the
funds secretly contributed by corpora
ticns as well as by individuals.
What is this alarming growth %
Mr.. Belmont knows as well as any
one other man Wherein lies the diff
ference between the campaign meth
DDS of Buchanan and Lincoln, and
those of Roosevelt and Parker? Mr..
Belmont can tell If he chooses.
Why go on with citations from
corrupt practices acts? Why talk Of
restricting contributions by invol-
untary subscribers" The way to
serve the cause of honest elections
is 20 begin at the bottom; and the
way to begin at the bottom is 10
find cut fearlessly just where we
stand.

which he has given his whole heart
conspieuously if he chooses. He can
sndfeate TO his fellow-seekers after
honesty in American politics the
particular evils they must correct.
He can disclose the need for these
corrections so clearly that even those
who are not persuaded against the
machine by the testimony of the
Platts and odells must be convinced.
VIII he DO it? His answer to that
question win very fairly measure his
influence in the cause.

Washington No Victim

OF Officials Having This in Charge

As compared with other cities. Wash

what is known among railroad men as
the fat car wheel nuisance -.
This statement was recently made BY
q prominent local railway man when

ever, constantly cn the watch TO re-
move this source of complaint, realizing
that n fat wheel can transform an ordi-

Although the ordinary wear and tear

sudden stops Of the cars. These steps
are moro frequent and sudden when
the car Is in charge OF a careless or IN
efhcient motorman. The motorman sud-
denly throws on his brakes and the lock-
ed wheels slide over the rails. The quick
application Of the shoe Of the brakes

Charles Emory at 1t Again.

Charles Emory Smith is a great
discoverer WHAT the ruthless Cor
tez is to Mexico, the visionary De
Leon to Florida, the intrepid De Sofa
to the Mississippi region, and the
ehurchly Marquette to the territory
Of the Great Lakes, Smith-there is
but one-is to journalism. 1t was
Smith who found a way to stand
with the mugwumps between cam
paigns and the machine on election
day 1t was Smith who penetrated
the Businesses of Postofice reform
only to emerge smiling and happy
on the open plains of editorial labor.
And yet he fights on.
His last discovery is made in the
smiling valleys of courtesy. 1t was
like him to play a quiet joke on
some of his less enterprising CO.
workers and pull it of in another
newspaper district than that covered
so easily and yet so faithfully by his
own Philadelphia Press. In very fact
he went to Pittsburg, where public
opinion is the child of his own brain.
and there uncovered this:
Special Despatch to '.The Press"
Pittsburg. Nov. 26.-''Women TO the
right. men TO the left" This is the
whole constitution and bylaws of club
composed of business men who live in
tne East End suburbs and whose places
OF business are downtown
The object Of the club is to promote
chiValry on crowded street cars. To this
end the members may take any vacant
seat while no ladies are standing but
when al the seats are filed the men on
Ihe right hand side of the car must give
way 10 women. The men on the left
SIDE OF the car may retain their seats. no
matter how many women are standing.
First, let the reader who doubts
that it was Smith himself who sent
this dispatch. go over the treasures
OF his garret and peruse anew, with
quickening pulse and eyer-heighten-
Ing admiration, that splendid euIogy
on American enterprise headed ''The
Mails Follow The Flag" He viii
find the style the same. It breathes
the same happy spirit, the same
ehild-like faith, the same light fancy.
Then, being satisfied of its au-
thorship, he should read the little
allegory a second time and a third.
For there is much ingenuity here and
the effect of the essay rightly under
stood is like TO that of the authors

Finally, having drunk to the full of
this little poem. let him be of and
practice what he~has read:

EXTRA SESSION EXPLAINED

MADISON, Wis. Nov. z7.-The real
plan OF Governor La Toilette IN calling
an extra session of the legislature has
become known. La Follette's program
as it now stands. is:
1. The election of Isaac Stephenson. OF
Marlnette. United States Senator.
. The nomination OF Irving L. Lenroot
as the next Republican candidate for
governor
g. The launching of a boom for Ia
Toilette for the Presidency in 1893. or.

his election as United states Senator
10 succeed John c. Spooner.
If a canvass or the Legislature when
1t meets week after next shows that
Stephenson cannot be elected. Ia Fol-
seat to which he was elected last jan,
uary.
Changes His Mind.
When. four weeks ago today the can
didacy OF Speaker Irvine L Lenroot for
governor was announced. Governor La
Toilette intended himself to go to the
Senate.
Since his first combination with Isaac
Stephenson six years ago. La Folette has
held out TO the Marinette man promises
of making him United States Senator. Il
is said. After the campaign last fall
there was a distinct and emphatic de-
mand by Mr.. Stephenson that this prom
ise be fulfilled. Governor La Toilette at
that time stated that Ii had never been
his intention 10 swerve from the con-
tract
But a canvass OF the Legislature. sug-
gested by La Toilette. showed Stephenson
he could not be elected.

nor. who expected 10 be elected COVER
nor as a reward for his work as State
Republican chairman has been left out.
He is millionaire lumberman and has

the governor that a long and sensational

Newspaper Excitement.

"There was more excitement in the
newspapers and in the press reports
than there was at the meeting of the
National Livestock Association" said
Richard Scott of Milwaukee, Ore, who
passed Through this morning over the
o. r. & n. from the Denver meeting
while nhe cattle men withdrew
and formed a new organization, the
old National Livestock Association is
still in existence, and will continue to
do business. The trouble arose over
extending the powers and representa-
tion OF the railroads in the association
and for a time there was almost
riot in the meeting, but good order
and good judgment soon prevailed, and
the division did not affect the busi-
ness transacted by the association.
1.-The Texas cattle men brought on
the division. by insisting that the by
laws be so changed as to exclude the
railroads and packing houses from
the association. They were Joined by
the Colorado cattle men, and when
they saw that the reorganization
would not exclude these interests,
they withdrew.

affect the future of the National Live

who withdrew have contributed but

Invidious Comparison.

James A. Miner, of Salt Lake, form
erly member of the supreme court
of Utah, again testified in the Smoot
inquiry. He said Smoot had alwaya
stood for the enforcement of the laws
and was regarded as one of the COM
ing men of the state.
Polygamy is decreasing so rapidly,
the witness said, that he believed that
in 10 years Utah will be in this regard
better than any other state in the
Union. There is no more polygamy
or otherwise unlawful cohabitation
in Utah than there is in New York,
or the District of Columbia" the
witness added

Ter of the Deseret Savings Bank, tes-
titled he was a Mormon and MEM
Der of the peoples party until it was
dissolved. He denied the church die
tated political affiliations for its
members, and said every person is
free to follow his own inclinations.
