Political Corruption Proven.

When the Democrats claimed, in
1896 and succeeding campaigns, that
an enormous corruption fund was rails
ed from the railroads, banks, trust eom-
panies, insurance corporations and
other sources, it was Indignantly de-
MED by the Republicans. Since those
campaigns the evidence has been leak
ing out that those charges were true
and The amount not exaggerated.
Enough money was subscribed to buy
every voter that was willing to sell
his vote in the doubtful States and the
result in 1896 showed that of the votes
so bought, about 10000 divided be-
tween the close States decided the
election.
The latest evidence on the providers
of that corruption fund has been given
by Mr.. Perkins, partner of j. T. Nor
gan, and also connected with the New
York Life Insurance Company, before
the committee of the New York legisla-
ture now investigating the life insur-
ance companies OF that State. He tes-
titled that the New York Life Insur-
ance Company paid $4,000 last fail
to the Republican campaign fund and
that greater sums were paid in 1896
and 1900.
These enormous contributions from
one corporation indicate the vast
amount of money used to corrupt the
voters of the United States, for there
is no doubt the other insurance COM
panies paid similar amounts, and the
railroads and trusts even more.
1896 was the beginning of the era
Of graft and corruption that has since
spread like prairie FIRE from one end
OF the country to the other and that

they do, 1T is not too much to say that

ners appointed to positions where they
can do vast service to their associates,
which from the nature OF things must
be to the detriment Of the people.
Is any one foolish enough to believe
that these corporations contribute these
large sums without expecting, AMI
probably being promised, advantages
or special privileges in return. The
trust corporations pay to prevent tariff
reform; the railroads pay to prevent
being controlled; the bankers and life
insurance companies pay because they
are controlled by the same financial
interests and receive special favor and
privileges from the political managers.
How do the Democrats, who are
paying double for life insurance than
what it is honestly worth and who
own stock in railroads and banks. like
their money being expended to keep
the corporations in power, instead OF
the larger dividends that would be
paid under an honest administration.
1t is now up to the voters to stop this
corruption and the only way they can
stop it is by defeating the party that
is IN league with the corporations.

by Col Tom" Custer on orders from
Gen. George \. Custer, his brother.
The next day after his arrest the
Indian confessed and General Custer
reported the case TO Washington.
After being imprisoned about three
months he escaped and joined Sitting
Bull ON the Rosebud and Big Horn
rivers, but he left behind him the
threat for Tom Custer and the whole
Custer family: Il viii kill you all"
Months OF desultory warfare led up
TO the battle of the Little Big Horn, ON
June &c. 1876, when General Clusters
command was annihilated.
That Rain-in-the-Face distinguished
himself in this fight by his reckless
bravery seems certain but the claim
of his personally killing Custer in a
last desperate charge is not so sure,
the evidence being very conflicting.
Rain-in-the-Face who was wounded
in two places during the battle, fled
with the other chiefs TO Canada. He
returned to the United States and sur
rendered TO General Miles in 1880 and
1881, being the last to yield. He has
spent most of the time since on the
reservation, peaceful from compulsiOn
but unreconciled.
His power as a leader lay in his
splendid physique. indOmitable spirit
and mental alertness. Sitting Bull had
no more kindred nature among his
fighters than Rain-in-the-Face. whose
ability for trouble making in general,
hOrse-stealing and murder made him
famous throughout the far Western
States.
Rain-in-the-Face had seven wives
none of whom lived happily with him.
His last wife was found In her tepee
with her throat cut. Few doubted that
Rain-in-the-Face had murdered her,
but there was no legal proof Of his
guilt

The Ohio Campaign.

The whole country is laughing at
Senator Dick, of Ohio, although he
does not seem to know it. In the severe
stress that the Republican machine of
Ohio is now laboring under with its
rotten management of State affairs, IT
is natural that Senator Dick and boss
Cox should want to switch the issue
to the tariff or any old issue but the
right one. AS there are no Congress
men or Senators to be elected in Ohio
this year and the campaign is entirely
or State issues, that are very uncom-
Portable for the Republican machine,
it Is hardly any wonder that Dick and
his machine would prefer any old issue
rather than the one every enc is talk
ing about. That's what makes people
laugh at Dick
Cox, the Cincinnati end of the ma
chine, is ardently taking up the tariff
issue. He declares Pattison, the Demo
cratic candidate for governor, is free
trader and Cox does not intend to have
any free trading in Cincinnati if he
can help it. The Dick machine is, of
course, for protection. 1t has been pro-
tecting the trusts and corporations so
that they only pay about half the taxes
they ought to, who in return have kept
the Dick machine in power by paying
literally to the Republican corruption
fund
Protection is the breath of life of
these patriots. No wonder they pro-
claim Pattison as free trader and
fear his election. When elected gov
ernor he will execute the laws as ne
finds them against Tle corruption and
grafters, and If the people of Ohio will
elect legislature to work with him
for "a square deal all round" they
will forever discourage the Dick and
Cox brand of protection. There will
then be free trade for the honest trad
ers Of Ohio, which they never have en-
joyed under the Dick and Cox ma
chine, for it has protected favored cor
porations and individuals at the eX-
pense Of the great majority of the Deo-
pie of the State. There will not only
be free trade in Ohio, but with her
sister States, which the constitution of
the United States makes obligatory.
Yet even if Senator Dick could have
his way and turn the attention of the
people of Ohio from the evil effect Of
his machine rule to the national queS-
ton of tariff reform, he would find the
great majority of the people of Ohio
standing with President Roosevelt in
declaring that the tariff must be reyis-
ed so that the trusts cannot sell cheap
er abroad than here. That is good
Democratic doctrine and Mr.. Pattison,
of course favors it, and if President
Roosevelt is a free trader why Mr. Fat
tson must be.
Senator Dick will find that he can
not make an issue. The people make
issues and they have selected civic
righteousness and the retirement OF
the Dick machine with its boss, Cox.
and it's trailer, Herrick, as the para
mount issue, for they are sick and
tired of them.

night, moved by a strange impulse, the

in prayer until the morning The next
mail brought news of what had hap
pened on that particular night. The
son was on that date taken out of hos
pital where he had been down with
enteric, and placed in the mortuary
among the dead. The hospital doctor
however, was possessed of a peculiar
uneasiness and could not rest. Going to

of the body. he asked if she was sure
the patient was lead. Notwithstanding
her assertion to that effect, the doctor
proceeded to tie mortuary, to find that
after all there was still breath in the
supposed dead body. The patient was
taken back to the hospital, and evertn-
ally recovered.

Peter Buel Porter Porter was on the

declined the generals commission that
the President offered TO him and took
command of company of volunteer

At the battle Of Chippewa ana at
the battle of Lundy's Lane he distin-
guished himself for great personal
gallantry. At the battle of Fort Erie
he performed extraordinary feats of
daring. At the close of the war; how
ever, he declined the post of general
in-chief of the army that was offered
to him, and, thinking that the close of
the war should close the career OF
Soldier, he returned to his congress

FRANkINCENSE

Z When an incision was made in

which presently hardened into kind
of vegetable material, brittle, glitter

the perfume was delicate and delight
full. Made of the very life-blood of
rare trees, the franliincense symbol
lied to the Eastern mind the essence
of holiness and purity. Its burning
was an act OF worship and reverence
to God AS it burnt the worshiper
prayed. and so the franlincense came
to be the emblem of prayer and wor-
ship. Every service in the Hebrew
sanctuaries was accompanied by the
burning of incense, and as the smoke
rose and the scent was waited the
people realized that their prayers We're
also ascending to Heaven. The Magi
gave gold to the King: the franklin
cense was alteration and worship to
God.
