HARD FOR DEMOCRATS.
Conditions Are All Against the Pros
poets of the Party of Calamity
Howlers.

poets of the Party of Calamity
Howlers.
These are excellent Republican
times. The Calamity Howlers
of the Democratic party, forget
ting what occurred under the in
fluence of Democratic ideas, a
dozen years ago, are answered by
events. They talk economy;
criticise state expenditures,
which their representatives sup
ported in the Maine Legislature;
stand for everything that isn't
and against everything that is,
while everything that is is rum
ming along smoothly. Wages
are high and everybody is happy
except those wEo are out of Office
and would like to get in. The
dear people are so busy that
they haven't time TO read the
elaborate columns of calamity
figures in which the Democratic
organs indulge. The shoe shops
and the mills of Maine were new
er so busy and would be yet bus
Ter if they could get more help.
There was never a time when the
purchase power of labor was so
high as it is today in the United
States. Labor can buy more for
its wages than ever before.
Never since the Federal labor
bureau was started has the pur-
chasing power of an hours pay
been greater any year than it has
been the past year. Under the
Dingley Tariff we have increased
our trade at home and doubled
our trade abroad. We have far
surpassed the records of the Ca
madam trade that prevailed when
we had what was known as Ca
madam reciprocity. And yet, the
Democratic calamity howlers
want more calamity. They want
another Canadian reciprocity
treaty, which Canada will not
consent to. And if we had what
the Whitney-McCall folks want,
we should be the losers. The
Democratic leaders do not remind
US that we lost heavily in trade
when we had what was tagged
Canadian reciprocity"
Under the Dingley Tariff the
past year Canada bought of the
United States nearly $181, 900, 600
worth of goods. Canada buys
large quantities of raw materials
of us because these materials cam
not be obtained in England.
Canada sold to the United States
last year over $S3, 100000 worth
of goods. The United States in
the fiscal year just closed sup
piled sixty per cent. of Canadian
imports for consumption COM
pared with twenty-four per cent.
from Great Britain. The gain
in Canadian imports from the
United States was eight per cent.
No wonder that President
Roosevelt agrees with the con-
tention that so long as we have
more prosperity than we can ham
die, more demand for help than
help to supply that demand, it is
puerile to shout for Tariff re-
vision" Nobody denies that
changes in American industry
require timely modification oil
certain schedules, but it is for.
gotten that we cannot patch the
Tariff. We must have Tariff re.
vision when we have Tariff
change.
These good Republican time:
are not the Democratic time:
which we had when Bryan wa:
shouting for fifty-cent dollars
and when Wilson and Gormar
gave us free raw material Tar
iff, for which Demo Republican
and Democrats are now contend
ing in the Foss-McCall-Dou
combination of Massachusetts,.

BALLOON TEST AT FORT OMAHA.
The Signal Corps Is Preparing for a
Series of Experiments.

Washington, Oct. Effort Omaha,
Neb., is to be the scene of many inter-

next few months. French manufac-
turers have shipped to the signal corps
Of the army a new spherical silk bal

already has several old balloons at Fort
Omaha, which are used for expert

A large quantity of hydrolite from
which hydrogen is generated by con-
tact with water has been purchased
and a generating plant will probably
be built at Fort Omaha which will en-
able the signal corps to produce hydro

American Gas Stove Company Talks Of
Locating Plant Here.

There is a possibility of the Amer
lean Gas Stove company establishing
plant In this city. This fact was
communicated to the Commercial club
today in a letter from ". H. Jones.
the president of the company, whose
headquarters are at st. Joseph, Mo.
Mr.. Jones wrote that his company
was looking for a location for a large
plant, and that he desired informa-
ton concerning the railroad facilities,
price of fuel, in this city, and also as
to whether or not there were tracts
of land of from twenty to forty acres
in close proximity to the city at a rea-
sonable price and available for the
establishment OF a large manufactur-
ing plant.
The information asked for will be
furnished Mr.. Jones and other steps
will be taken by the officers of the
Commercial club to have the company
locate it's plant here. Topeka would
be an ideal location for such a plant
in more ways than one. It Is in the
center Of a district of cities where
natural gas is. or is about to be-
available.

late that travel on the sidewalks in the

and one of them seriously injured and
number of pedestrians have had
narrow escapes from being run down.

rider of a wheel who was caught rid
ing on the walks and the days work Of
the three men netted the nine men
who were fined as they were brought in

one and for while at least the police
will devote a considerable of their time
to breaking up the practice.

WANTS MURE TROOPS.
Gen. Elliott Says Demands for In
crease Grow Daily.

washington, Oct. 24.-In his annual
report Brigadier General Elliott,
commandant of the marine corps, calls
attention to the necessity for an in
crease in the command and enlisted per-
sonnet Of the corps, and says the de-
mands for both officers and men are
daily on the increase. He states thai
unless prompt action is taken IN this
matter by congress during its coming
session he vii be unable to carry out
the directions of the secretary Of the
navy with regard to details, both
ashore and afioat and the efficiency Of
the corps win suffer materially.
General Elliott says that the provis-
ions Of the general order Of the depart
ment by which enlisted men of the
army are entitled to campaign badges
for services ashore in Cuba, Porto Rico,
and the Philippine islands during ser
tain PERIODS and for service ashore with
the Pekin relief expedition during the
boxer rebellion, be made applicable to
the men OF the marine corps VINO were
at that time serving with the army.
de said the barracks at Mare Island,
Cal, are unsafe, inadequate and obso-
lete in design and construction. The
sanitary condition is bad and he rec
ommends $780, goo for new barracks and
$50. GOO for officers quarters The report
also states that the accommodations for
the marines at the naval station, Cayite,
u. T., are not only unSan1tary and in
adequate, but conduce to discomfort and
dissatisfaction as the ordinary comforts
are not granted to the men. He submits
an estimate of $4,000 for the improve
1neut Of the grounds and the building
of barracks An estimate Of 100000 is
submitted for the construction of bar
racks and officers quarters at the navy
yard at Charleston, S. c. General FL
lott urges the necessity for the imme-
date construction of proper marine bar
racks on the isthmus OF Panama to IA
cuitate cOntentment and especially nee
esEary for sanitary reasons.
General Elliott says that all the pub
lie buildings Of the marine corps, in
Guiding those recently constructed, can
be replaced by new buildings at a cost
Of not more than 1880, 900. General Ell
lott says he appreciates the justice Of
the recommendation made by the secre-
1ary of the navy last year that the
commaudant of the marine corps be
given the rank of major general.
The report says that under the pres
ent modes and rates of recruiting it is
believed that the marine corps will be
recruited to its full strength before the
end of the present calendar year.
General Elliott states that as soon as
the condition Of the corps will permit
ct is the intention to increase the ma
rine contingent in the Philippines to a
total OF 1900 men, which is the mum
Der recommended by the general board
OF the navy and approved by the de-
partment. There are 50 officers and l.
300 enlisted men now in the islands.
