coRreLyou's ESTIMATES.
Postmaster General Asks for an Increase of $i5.oo0.00o in Appropriation
 for His Department

Washington, Oct. 26.-Postmaster General Cortelyou has submitted to the secretary of the treasury for transmission to congres estimates for the postoffice department for the coming fiscal year. The amount asked for salaries in the postoffice department is s1,52S,920, being a net increase of s121,530 over the appro- priation for the current year, while the amount asked for the mainten- ance of the postal service is S206,- 662, ,190. a net increase over the pres ent appropriation of s15,000,O0O.
 The estimates last year were about s12,000,000 in excess of the appropri- ation for the year before, so that the increase this year is about $3,OO0,000 more than the increase last year. The apparently large increase in ex- penditures contemplated by the pres ent estimates, according to the de partment, represents but a normal advance over the expenditures of last year, made necessary to meet the constantly growing needs of the ser vice and the public demand for i'm proved facilities.

THAT THRUST CONTAMINATED
 SENATE.

In connection with the incarcera- tion of ex-Senator Burton of Kansas in the Ironton, Mo, jail on a sen tence from the United States courts, it is reported that his wife stated:
 ''I do not feel any resentment toward any man for my husband s plight. I can only sympathize with Colonel Dyer, the United States dis trict attorney at St. Louis, who prosecuted Senator Burton, now that his son is involved in the sub treasury tangle. If there is any thing 1 can do for him, 1 shall do it cheerfully.
 'I notice that Senator Joseph W. Bailey of Texas, who introduced the resolution to expel my husband from the Senate, is having his troubles on account of his connection with the Standard Oil trust. In a way, might say that I am glad my husband has been convicted, for it removes him from association with the trust contaminated Senate"
 This is certainly the worst of all. We have believed in a general way that there were many corrupt men in the United States Senate, men who were daily violating their sacred obligations to the country by acting as the willing attorneys and tools of the predatory corporations which were and are plundering the people. but we did not think they were so bad that loving, trusting wife, as Mrs. Burton is proving herself to be, would rejoice and be glad that her husband had been convicted and sent to jail so as to have him removed from association with the trust contaminated Senate. "
 Where now are your muck ra- kers" and your magazine writers telling of "The treason of the Sen ate? ?"

 HONEST AND FAITHFUL.

It certainly was very gratifying to Sheriff D. B. Joplin. as the time ap- breaches for the closing of his term of office. to receive testimonial. both from the grand jury and from the court and the attorneys in attend ance, of his worth and honesty of purpose as an official. In these days when so many men seek office large ly for the purpose of private gain by dishonest grating rather than to see how well they can serve the people. it is encouraging to find one whose service has been such as to win. unsought, such high testimo- nials.
 Mir. Joplin was not elected as a partisan. He ran independent and there was no party responsible for his course but the conduct of his office has been such that no party offers any censure or criticism. The country at large needs more such officers.

THE SUBMARINE LOCATED
But Hope of Rescuing Her 're" S'''e Has Been Practically Abandoned
 by French Government.

Paris. Oct 19.-In spite of the iact that it was announced from Blzerta Thursday morning that the spot where the submarine boat Lutin sank on Tuesday had been definitely ascer- tained. hope of rescuing her crew has been practically abandoned at the ministry of marine. Indeed, the pre- vaiIing impression there is that the crew were probably immediately killed or rendered unconscious by the accl- dent. the cause of which, however, is still mystery, though theories on the subject are numerous. The naval officers are generally of the opinion that when Lieut.. Fepoux or dered the boat to be submerged in the rough sea then running, the helmsman depressed the rudder too much and the Lutin pitched to the bottom, over turning her accumulators and suffocat- ing the crew with the fumes from the acids before they had time to re- lease the safety weights or the tele- phone buoy. The water pressure is so pounds to the inch at the depth where the submarine boat lies, 36 metres, which, 1t is believed, would be sufficient to start her plates, especially if it is true. as announced in a special dispatch from Bizerta, that the Lutin stranded fortnight ago, that her hull may have been in- jured and that she was not doeked after having been hauled of.
 The ministry of marine is coming in for lot of criticism owing to it's failure to properly equip the Bizerta naval station with salvage apparatus, as it was proposed to do after the disaster to the submarine boat Far fadet, which sank last summer of Bizerta. Some of the newspapers ex- press the opinion that the repeated accidents to submarine boats should lead to an international agreement to prohibit their use, claiming that fl is proved that they are more danger. ous to their own crews than they art ever likely to be to an enemy.

GOVERNOR DAVIS .'CASH OR
 CONvERTABLE FUND.

We reproduce the following from the editorial columns of the Arkan- sas Gazette largely for the.informa- tion it conveys regarding the finan- cial condition of our state, and incidentally to call attention to the fact that it is very poor policy for a governor of a state to make gre tsS representations during a canvass for the purpose of getting office, even if he does succeed. Any honest man who really cares for the welfare of his country would prefer to remain a private citizen than to secure office by such methods:
 Said Governor Davis in his com munication in Sundays Gazette;
 I have maintained and now main an that at tn. time l made the several (campaign) speeches there were in the treasury an aggregate of $3, 800, GOO of cash or convertible funds
 ''The following items, totaling $2. 237. .74S.60. which you included in the total of $3.S00,0oO are neither cash or convertible funds so far as

barrels of oil produced in 1895 than in 1894 the value of the oil product was IF million dollars less in 1895, according to the United States geo. logical survey report just issued. In other words, Standard Oil so reduced the price paid by it for crude oil that it saved IT million dollars in pur- chase money over the year previous and at the same time secured IT million additional barrels. Yet the Standard directors steadily increased the price of the refined products to the consumer.
 In contrast to the rapidly falling price of the oil product is the con- stantly advancing price of the ore product. Zinc ore sold last week at $46 ton, the highest price ever paid.
 This should be an object lesson on the benificence of trusts such as Mr. Rockefeller controls. Because the oil producer must sell to his com pany, Standard is able to dictate the price it will pay. According to government reports it dictated so well,last year that 40 or 50 millions was squeezed out of the pockets of the producers.
 How long are the people of the United States and of the new West going to be compelled to submit to such odious and defiant robbery; and how long is it going to be before they call the blUf which Standard Oil made when certain of it's high off cials made the open boast that that rapacious corporation was greater than the government of the United States ?---Kansas City Star.

Said Governor Davis in his com in Sundays Gazette:

 munication in Sundays Gazette:
 ''I assume the responsibility, as nearly as it attaches to me, and to as wide an extent as anybody chooses to impose it upon me, for causing a reduction in the tax levied for gen. eral revenue purposes"
 You assume the responsibility or rather, the glory---for the reduction in the tax rate, but you refuse to assume the consequences. As you blandly remark in this same commu- nication, "As l dc not expect to exercise the powers of the governors office after January Is l shall not be responsible for the course of events after that time." You got the leg islature to reduce the tax rate for the period from June 30, 1905, to July l. 1907. and still you claim that if deficit appears between January IS. 1907, and July l. 1907, you will not be responsible.---Arkansas Ga zette.

The scrap for control of the Illinois Central in which Stuvesant Fish out generated Hartman makes it fairly plain that Mir. Hartman owns a considerable part of the stock of the road. Indeed, every ripple on the surface of railroad affairs turns up the name of Hartman. whose rail- road holdings are so vast as to be beyond comprehension almost. To be sure, the railroad holdings of Hartman do not represent his assets individually. but they do represent the holdings of close corporation dominated by little clique. The question which naturally suggests itself is this: Is it safer to vest such immense properties in Hartman and his associates than to have the gov ernment own those properties ?- Joplin Globe.
