Editor National Tribune: It was re-
ported to our Post that the Pittsburg
Headlight, in copying from the McCune
Herald, made 1t appear our Post unani-
mously Endorsed the action OF the Gov
eminent in returning the captured rebel
flags. The Post on receiving the report
unanimously adopted the following
resolution:
Resolved, 1t is the sense Of this Post
that Congress made q mistake in pass
ing the resolution to return the cap
tured flags, as the return Of those flags
did no one any good and only opened
wound that was almost healed.
On motion, the Post instructed me to
send you a copy Of the above resolution.

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES,

Inc puDI1catlOn mas Deen mace, which
Is generally received as fairly accurate,
that the Republican campaign expenses
for the last Presidential election were
Si.900.000. as against $2,800,000 in
1900; s3,S00.000 in 1896. and $4,10O,-
COO expended by the Democratic Ma
tional Committee in 1892. The amount
expended by the Democratic National
Committee IL years ago seems surpris-
ingly large. but it may be accounted for
by the determination Of the importing
and shipping interests to secure free
trade. No figures are given as yet as
to the Democratic campaign expenses
last year, but there Is q demand for
them, and 1t is asserted that Judge
Parker's friends put up q surprisingly
large amount Of money. The following
table represents the itemized account
OF the Republican expenditures Cor
1904:
Remittances to State Commit
tees ...... ........... 100000
For literature ............. $4,000
Maintaining speakers bureau 175,0001
For autographs. advertising.
etc: -: ......... 800. $780, 600
Salaries and expenses at head
quarters -. 10000
Miscellaneous expenditures. $4,000
Balance at close of campaign. 100000
The battle-ground last year was in
New York. New Jersey. West Virginia.
Indiana, Nevada. Illinois, Massachu-
sets. Connecticut and Wisconsin. and
there the Republican Committees
speedily exhausted all their own funds
and appealed to the National Commit
tee for assistance. 1t is claimed that
all these contributions to the State
funds were made quite early in the
campaign, and that, contrary to what
has been the custom In the past, no
great sums were sent into the States
shortly before the election. where they
could be improperly used. They were
received early and legitimately expend-
ed for speakers. literature, rent of halls,
bands, etc.
The item for speakers is unexpect-
eddy large, and it is said that this was
swelled greatly by the firm decision of
the National Chairman not to accept
free passes for any speaker. Every
man that went on the business OF the
cciAiatASO Poio Aiio Adic lTOH the
money supplied by the Committee.
The cost Of the National Headquarters
is regularly about $4,000 a year, MAX
ing $4,000 for the quadrennial period.
There were probably 10000 contrib
utors to the Republican campaign fund,
making the average subscription from
each about $3.50. Some unknown per-
SON contributed as much as $4,000, and
| though his identity has been carefully
concealed. 1t is suspected by many that
1t was Andrew Carnegie. who took a
deep interest In the campaign, and said
from the first that he was willing to
contribute any reasonable amount Of
money to help along Mr.. Roosevelts
political aspirations.
Very much more money was offered
| to the Committee, but declined because
| there were conditions attached, and
Chairman Cortelyou made 1t an infiexi-
BILE rule that money contributed must
be given freely without any bargains
| or limitations There were more indi-
| vidual contributions to the Republican
campaign fund last year than ever
known before, which shows how WIDE
spread and deep was the interest felt
In President Roosevelt's success.

Mr.. cARNEclg,s GREAT SCHOOL.
Enterprise Costing Millions Opened lite
Doors Monday.

Pittsburg, Oct. 16.-When the Car
.negie School of Technology opened for
business Monday there was launched
an educational enterprise which the
great steel magnate proposes shall be
ultimately the greatest of its kind in
the world. over .000 young men and
women from every part of the globe
made application as students.
Only one Of the great group of build
ings planned has been completed and
the total expenditures to date aggre-
gate $S,000,000. Mr.. Carnegie agreed
to give $10,00O.O 900 for buildings alone
and as much more as may be needed.
One third Of the applicants were re-
jected because they could neither read
nor write. Many expected Mr.. Carne-
gle to pay railroad fare and expenses
for the school year. After the sitting
process there were left 1923 eligibles,
but because Of limited accommoda-
lions only 100 were accepted.
The tuition will be $50, Mr.. Carnegie
insisting on this nominal sum because
he did not wish the students to feel
they were attending charity institu-
ton. All books, tools and material
will be furnished free.

Given Freedom from Wife and Custody
Of Children.
Wooster, Ohio.-Judge Eason, who
heard the divorce case of Captain Ell
more +. raggart against his wife, has
rendered his decision. The court grant
ed Captain Taggart the divorce and
the custody of the two children, Gull
yer. aged IL, and Charles, z. Although
Mrs. Taggart is denied possession OF
the children, she will be permitted to
see them.
The case has been Of exceptional in
terest because of statements during
the trial by Captain Taggart that the
use OF intoxicanIs in the army was SO
common as to be almost the custom.
A number OF prominent army officers
were named in Captain Taggart's Pc
tition as having been more or less the
cause of the domestic troubles between
Captain and Mrs. Taggart.
In the outbreak against his father
upon the streets, Culver Taggart called
the Captain a liar. The child openly
cursed his father, and said: Il will
never go with you; you have lied about
my mother, and every witness who
swore at the trial against mama were
liars" Then Culver burst into tears.
Judge Eason decided that '"Tiddles,"
the youngest child of the Taggarts,
shall be left in the care of his mother
at Wooster.
