The State: Wealth versus COM
monwealth will soon be the Titanic
struggle TO be chronicled when the
high finance insurance grafters of
New York will be tried criminally
for their malfeasances. Whether the
fundamental doctrine Of our govern
ment that all men are equal before
the law is still in full force and ef-
feet as it was in the infancy of this
republic, OF has become old fashion,
ed aud obsolete in these days of the
finer finance, will be given its crucial
test when the insurance pirates with
their stolen millions will be pitted
against the law in their effort to stay
the hands OF Justice that will seek to
redress the crimes committed upon
the public, This is a grand opportun-
ity To demonstrate to the world that
the boosted American equality is
not dead; that the rascal who robs
widows and orphans of millions
must expect his proper punishment
according to the degree of his crime
as surely as the hungry man who
steals a loaf OF bread.

EiaureS That Stand PAT.

In four years following the close OF
the Spanish-American war the reve-
nue. Of the United States exceeded
expenditures by s3O0,000,000. During
the last two fiscal years the revenue
deducting the $60,000,000 paid on the
Panama canal, comes within a few
millions of balancing the outgo. A
large surplus was reported for last
month. This years deficit will be
small, if any should exist. The Unit
ed States owns the largest stock OF
gold IN it's history, or in that OF any
other country. The per capita circu-
lation is larger than at any previous
time. An amply sufficient cash bal
ance of $l3l 100000 is in the treasury.
No other country can borrow money
on ns low rate of interest as our
own. Government finances are in
fine shape.

The Chicago Tribune is authority
for the statement that Addick's OF
flee building in Wilmington, Della
ware, has been advertised to be sold
ut sherff's sale. And, says the Trib-
une, Addicks may be a long time In
passing a given point, but there Isn't
much more Of him to pass.
Let's see. This is the same bull
doing Addicks who was so persist
emily active in barring the legally
elected delegates from this state to
the Republican national convention
in Chicago in 1904. His tactics and
those in cooperation with him on
that memorable occasion proved a
disgrace to the party and the country.
The passing Of such questionable
statesmen cannot be too swift nor

Cat Getting Out Of the Bag.

One of the most prominent Demo-
Gratis, as well as one Of the most re-
spected citizens OF Iowa county, re-
vealed some electioneering facts and
maneuverings to Tribune represen-
tative one day recently. They were
not as startling as they might have
been had there not been more or less
signs pointing that way
1t relates to the last congressional
campaign. The selected few who
were entrusted with rolls Of the long
green as big as your leg, Che did not
say whether it was money solicited
from Insurance companies or not on
hearing the Democrats say "sic 'em,"
approached such Democrats with as
surances of big pay for their assist
ance. Said informant asserts That
the offers were so liberal that the
scheme worked well and really de
cided the election OF this he is con
fdcn., But he concluded with the
assertion that said entrusted distrib-
utors Of the big rolls failed in some
instances to pony upn according To
agreement, simply slipping the lions
share into their jeans. 1t was IA fat
campaign for them, so much so that
they really didn't care who was elec
ted, or whether insurance companies
busted or not, even if they had poll
cies therein, as they had a handsome
little Doodle tucked away. Some Of
the beguiled Democrats may yet
have To sue for what is due them on
promise They stand ready to swear
that they fulfilled their part of the
agreement, or in other words, deliv-
cred the votes. Further and finally,
these same Democrats are Disguised
with themselves for being such tools.

DUCKS CAME WHEN NEEDED
Minnesota Homesteaders Out of Meat
Provided For in Providen-

The walking south through town OF
a wild goose that had become exhaust,
ell in fight, or wounded, recalls the
incident of few years ago when a
wild duck in it's swift pilgrimage
south at night flew through a window
in the old courthouse into a ro-m
where party of card players were
enjoying themselves, leaving them in
the dark, as the bird struck the lamp
and put out the light One or two of
the party would not play after that,
believing that the duck had been sent
by the Lord as a warning AGAINST card
playing

nature, says the St. Eaul Dispatch. oc
Cured south of Seneca, in Faulk
county, wheL, on a dark stormy night
while family of hpmesteaders were
lamenting their al fortune of having
no meat in the house, they were
startled to hear heavy thuds against
the outside of the building, when in
vestigation with a lantern disclosed
the fact that wild DUCKS had flown
against it and had fallen to the ground
to be easily picked up in their dazed
condition This settled the meat
question, and there were some who
figured that the ducks had been Provi-

HAIRPINs AND HAzINo.
Freshmen" in Girls College Sub
jected to Some Strange
Restrictions.

The sophemores of Barnard college
have promulgated rules for theI
| younger sisters which, says the Wash.
ington Times, are in these DREADFUL
terms:
Freshmen must not appear on the
college grounds in the company OF
! young men.
Freshmen must not carry parasols
until after the inclass basketball game.
and then only if victorious.
Freshmen must not walk on the
grass plots or sit on the lodges OF Mil
bank hall
The number of hairpins to be worn
by freshmen is limited to II, and none
OF these may be ornamental"
The penalties for breaking these in.
functions are not enumerated, but are
doubtless sufficiently dire to make any
girl lose all her surplus hairpins at the
mere thought of them. 1t is not the
present purpose to descant upon the
cruelty OF forbidding fresh girls from
haunting their gentlemen friends in
the faces of their elder sisters, nor uc
we strenuously object to the wise econ.
omy in parasols enforced in rule
Far be 1t from us even to question the
propriety of keeping the yearlings off
the grass, or their Punishment from
the delectable cud-chewing lodges OF
Milbank hall; but why, why should
freshwoman's hairpins be restricted
to II, and these limited to the com
mon old variety known as the button.
hook?
BY the way, why can't the women's
colleges find some other term for the
first year girls than freshmen? If it
were permitted us to suggest we would
use a word that is really descriptive,
like "miss-learnings."
