national administration las said that such work must stop these corrupt henchmen predict the downfall of the Republican party. Were the protect ion of graft and corruption the princi-. ples of that party. and it's life depend ed upon the retention of these parasites in office, then the sooner it's existence ceased the better.
 But such is not the case. That grand old party has withstood the storms of political strife too long to now be wrecked by the curses of few de- throned soreheads who are so conceited as to think the party will go to the devil because the reins are taken from them. It is such crooked work as has been perpetrated that black ems the good name of the party. Renegade politicians are always dangerous to the welfare of the party they happen to fall in with. The present financial con- dition of the official treasury of the Third division argues for itself. There is no money at the officials disposal 10 meet current expenses, while in other divisions of the territory such conditions do not exist. If the money appropria- ted by congress yearly to defray the ex- penses of these judicial divisions is not properly expended, financial embarass- ment is the result, and the officials who handle that money are the ones to blame.
 Still they attempt to mislead the peo- pie by claiming the charges of graft and corruption made against them are without merit. These matters have been throughly investigated by the sen ate their final verdict speaks for itself. If the Republican party is to be blam- ed for exposing corruption and punish ing the perpetrators thereof, then may Republicans feel proud of their work, and have no fear as to the party's con tinued existence. Truely ''the issue has come," and not only the Repubi can party, but all law-respecting 'citi- zens declare that graft, corruption and oppression must cease.

SATURDAY, MAY 6. 1905.

SATURDAY,, MAI O, XSVO.
 THE bitterness expressed toward the Republican party by Wickersham's henchmen, on account of the downfall of their chief, fully demonstrates the gangs long existing policy of rule or ruin. Being unable to come to their masters assistance, while he was lon the rack," and disprove the charges made against him, they now wall and spit their venom at the Republican or ganization. The Senate, which turned Wickersham down, is composed of both political parties, and in this case party lines were not drawn. It was simply a matter of whether or not such open handed corruption should be permitted among federal officials.
 If the accused could have shown the Senate that the charges were false, he would not only have retained his official position and political standing, but saw ed the Republican party the humiliation of the political disgrace of a standard bearer. The party is to be congratula- ted on the early exposure and punish ment of the accused by jury compos- ed of the leaders of both political par ties. The benefit to the party is such as comes to community that culls out the criminal element residing therein. There Is no adverse criticism to such action from the law-respecting people. It is the lawless and corrupt element who wreck society and political organ iZations.
 The argument advanced by the van pushed shows that they are partisans for office only, and in office, their ava ricious propensities are disgraceful and detrimental to an honest policy. The turning down of Wickersham is q sad blow to Commissioner J. Lindley Green and other henchmen, who have been protected in their nefarious work of footing the government treasury and harassing the people. Because the
