There comes from New York . very
satsrtaining story relating to ths sst-
tls0snt d ths aaairs Of . concsrn
that Asa eone into Bankruptcy sever

charge Of the company's Affairs and
on Thursday they made report to
the Judge Of the United States dis
trict court They reported that the
creditors would get 100 cents ON the
dollar and that there was yet remain.
ing IN unexpended balance. and this,
too, after the lawyers had been A.
lowed $1,000 for their labor. This
sort Of report was made possible by
the pushing Of claims made by the
alleged bankrupts and the recovery
Of money due by the processes of the
courts. And very properly. the Judge
to whom the accounting was made
complimented the two lawyers for
their fne work. The average returns
from the settlement OF bankrupt ac-
counts is about rs per centum but
upon one occasion now recalled . re-
turn Of 90 percentum was made. One
hundred percentum is so very unusu.
al that no wonder there is surprise.
And 1t can be set down as a fact that
the bankruptcy case was treated
fairly and squarely, and that both the
company and its counsel were honest

days Of heavy failures and no returns

Lona Words or Short.

Which shall we prefer in speech and
writing? Almost everybody will vote
for the short word, and almost every
body will be voting for the best candi-
date, says the Manchester Union. The
short words are usually the strong
words. They make up in muscle and
liveliness what they lack in size. And
they are readily in the eyes of men
who have thoughts that they wish to
lodge In other minds. A man who
should run out into the street and yell
"Confiagration! Conhagration! Con-
fagration!" when his house was burn
ing would be thought to be making q
Jest OF the affair. And 80 in all mat
ters where ideas are to be handed out
quickly and clearly, the short word
has first choice.

PROVING His Stories.

De Rougemont, the adventurer who
some years ago deceived the Roya
Geographical society and the public
In London by Munchausen tales Of
his extraordinary experiences among
the natives of Australia. until the
Daily Chronicle exposed him, has
turned up again. One of his early
yarns was that. when shipwrecked on
one occasion. he saved himself by be.
striding q great turtle which carried
him to the shore. Even this was
swallowed until the final expose. But
now De Rougemont has actually tax
en- such ride In the tank of q Lon.
don playhouse. 1t Is said that he
had never seen the tortoise, or turtle
until he was introduced to 1t in the
water. After making some passes. he
successfully crossed the tank ON itl
back. incessantly calling out: "Jah
tallah!" word which we cannot
translate owing to the absence of oul
turtle and tortoise dictionary. Dt
Rougemont now claims that he has
proved the truth of his original story
and says that he will take a trir
from Margate towards France on tur
tle-back to silence all doubters.

HoEs smash the Demoeratlc Mo.e..

w &Suln&EOn Herald.
 The Accomac News wants to see a Southern man nominated for the Presi- dency next time. Whether this paper, evidently Democratic, takes it's ideas from the Jim Griggs School or the senator Rayner School. we are not pre- pared to say but in some of it's ideas t is not only sensible, but, unique. The News. advocates Hon. Hoke Smith as the standard bearer for 1908, and says:
 we believe if all the smiths fin this country Of ours would unite with the Democratic party in putting over one or their name, of whom thoy should be more than proud irrespective of party affiliations. that the present tide of success which is beginning to flood the Democratic ranks would overflow and sweep the country from center to cir conference. Let's get to work on the smith family. It Is & better proposi- tion than. government ownership of railroads"
 The Smiths compose a mighty clan and they could, no doubt, be easily herded and shown the great opportunf- " before them. What with tho solid south and the great army of Smiths to be rallied from outside points, the way really seems strewn with political roses already. But, merely as a pre- euation. Jones should go on for ths second place. !,
 Any way you look at it, a Smith and Jones ticket--especially one headed by the unimitated and inimitable Hoke Smith--would be nightly powerful in the electoral college.

NEW HEARST MACHINE.
Lewis s. ChanIer is to Have Free Hand
 in New York.

in New XOFR.
 Brooklyn Eagle.
 Robert Winthrop Chanler, the Demo- cratic sherife-elect of Duchess County that is going to investigate Senator McCarren and a score or more of other Democrats, coming mainly from the in terior, counties, on charges of irregu- larity in the last election. Mir. Chan Ter is brother of Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, the Democratic Lieutenant- Governor elect.
 From country Democrats who stand high in the confidence of the ChanIer brothers and also of w. R. Hearst and Chairman Corners of the State Com mittee, the information comes that the Chanlers will exert the principal direct influence in the reorganization of the State Democracy projected by Mr. Hearst, of which the McCarren inves- ment of n. w. Chanler to a place on the McCaFren committee is a minor detail, but the news that the Lieuten- ant-Governor-elect will have a free Hearst machine has excited a great deal of interest among the Democratic politicians.
 Discussing the Chambers today at the Hoffman House, some of the Demo- cratic politicians brought out the fact that Mir. Hearses San Antonio state ment, in which he said, in effect, that he will not again be candidate for Governor, was made in the interest of Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler These Democrats said that MT. Hearst wants for himself the State delegation to the next Presidential Convention, and finds that a friendly candidate for the Gov ernorship is necessary for the attain ment of that object MT. Chanler, they sad, is MT. Hearst's candidate for Gov- ernor.
 Both the Chambers are jealous parti sans of Mir. Hearst, and just now very grateful to him for the offices winch they hold, for MT. Hearst personally selected Lewis StuyVesant Chauler as his running mate on the State ticket, and R. W. Chanler's election in the strongly Republican county of Duchess was due, at least partially, to the sud- den Chanler accession or state innu- ence.
 to do many things to help along the Hearst boom for President and at the same time punish some of the enemies Mir. Hearst has made in his several political ventures. The politicians at the Hoffman House today thought they their desire to do their full duty to MT Hearst in both directions before the McCarren investigation is finished.
 One of Mir. Chambers friends put forth the claim today that since the candidate for Lieutenant-Governor ran 60, 900 votes ahead of Mr Hearst, the question of political obligations be- tween them is really Of no moment, and that MT. Chanler is justified in ex- peeting the Democratic nomination for Governor in 1908 if he demonstrates his fitness as Lieutenant-GoVernor, Wheth- CT MT. Hearst wants him to have it or not.
 willing to concede the conclusiyeness of this argument, nobody who knows MT. Chanler well expects 1t to nave any weight with him.

HOW TO CURE THE EVIL,


 Referring to Roosevelt's proposed proposes to banish the menace of swoI- len fortunes. The Houston Post says:
 No government Is ever justified m using it's taxing power for any other purpose than to obtain revenue to pay It's legitimate expenses. If the swol- len fortune Is menace, the President should deal with the causes and not advocate the misuse of one Of the chlet powers of the government. He should propose the withdrawal of every priVt- tege which enables a citizen to explotr his fellow citizens. It Is the process of aGeHmSuiating the he swollen process and the people will be relieved and the excessive fortunes will cease to swell.
 The Post Is right The President proposes to begin operations at the wrong end of the problem. Let us ad- init that very large fortunes are dan gerous and that they may be a mem ace to the people of the country gem orally. but that does not justify the government in taxing them out of ex- isence. If the President wants to find a remedy let him apply the correction
  ton. Let him induce his party to mod fly and correct the tariff which has so much to do with the accumulation of great wealth Then let him use the powers Of the government to suppress or regulate the trusts through the op- eration of which men like Rockefeller and a few others are able to pile up money without limit.
 Here are two openings for Roosevelt and his adherents. He knows that the tariff and the trusts are largely de- pendent on each other and that be- tween them they are the nursing moth- CTS, if not the actual parents of these swollen fortunes of which he seems to be so much afraid Periodically and at other times there is something said about tariff revision but that Is about all that comes of it; 1t is all talk. The leaders of the party from President down are evidently afraid to tackle it because of the effect that 1t might have on politics. Occasionally. also, there Is an apparently earnest effort made to bring the trusts to book but that is generally false alarm, though the latest effort has the appearance of meaning business. If the President is so apprehensive of danger from large fortunes let him lay his ax to the root

 Roosevelt WiIl Take.

tAO0AeNGN WAAA AeAAos
 Washington Special to Brooklyn Eagle.
 The return of President Roosevelt may be followed by developments of an important nature in New York State politics. There is little doubt that an effort will be made at once to induce him to aid in the movement to force Senator Platt to resign his seat in the Senate. Certain prominent New York Republicans would give great deal to know what stand -the President will take with regard to the aRti-Platt crusade.
 What the President will do Is a mys- tery which even best informed men in Washineton or New York politics ad- init they are unable to solve. The Presidents closest friends and political advisers say frankly that they have no idea what Mir. Roosevelt thinks of the unfortunate entanglements in which Senator Platt has lately been involved. and which have led to the demand51 that the aged statesman shall give up his seat in the Senate. The reason Tor this ignorance regarding the Presi- dents views is that the worst feature in the Platt scandals came to light af' ter the President had departed for Panama. Mr. Roosevelt Is not likely to remain quiet on the subject when he is appealed to for an expression or opinion. so before long 1t will be known what he thinks about 1t.
