letter from Australia for the wench,

to shilling. The barmaid took 1t In
her hands, and eyed both sides of the
paper. which had come half around
the world, most wistfully. Then, wip-
Ing her eyes, she returned 1t to the
postman with sigh, saying that she
was too poor to pay the charge.
Rowland Hill pitied her distress and
himself advanced the shilling. The
girl had said: ut is from my poor
brother in Australia. whom haven't

When he told her she was free to

reluctance, and no delight. Her en-

shlfting Political 1..ue..

The Republican managers declared at
the beginning of this campaign for Con.
gress that Mr.. Roosevelt was the issue,
and some Of the big guns of the party
were sent to Maine to emphasize and
inform the Republican voters of Maine
what issue they were to vote upon. The
election was held and the greatly re-
duced majority for the Republican tick
ct Indicated that many of the voters
either repudlated Mr.. Roosevelt as the
Issue, or refused to take the advice OF
the Republican leaders and voted the
tariff, the liquor question, the abolition
of bosses, as more important than the
Endorsement Of the Republican Presi-
dent. This blow between the eyes, de-
livered by the Republican voters of
Maine with telling effect, brought a
change Of mind to the Republican lead
ers, and now we are told that national
politics must be kept out Of the New
York campaign. and the voters must
decide the election In that State on
local and personal issues
Now campaign for Congress, the
members Of which will have to decide
whether the tariff and other pressing
Issues shall be taken up, can be decided
by the voters on local issues, can only
be explained by those opportunist Re-
publican statesmen who try to make
the President the issue in one State and
ignore him In another. They are all
things to all men and are.at their old
tricks trying to fool part Of the Repub-
lican voters all the time and some of
the Republican voters part of the time,
but they have discovered by the result
In Maine that they cannot fool all the
Republican voters all of the time. They
are In mortal dread of their own voters
In Pennsylvania, New York, Massachu-
sets, Delaware, Ohio. Colorado, Mime
sofa and other States. and are vocifer-
ously urging them to drop exasperating
issues and vote the whole ticket for the
sake of the party.
The Republican leaders decry trusts
and at the same time are calling on the
trust and corporation magnates for
campaign funds. In New York they
declare they are not getting money from
the corporations, and yet the Republi-
can leaders refused to allow the bill to
prevent corporations from donating
money to campaign funds to pass the
House Of Representatives by killing 1t
in committee. These same Republican
leaders declare that to raise the tariff
Issue In the next Congress would result
in disaster. and in the Same breath say
they will revise the tariff when needed,
which they know was never more nee
essary than now, and vet they have de
termined to stand pat and declare that
the voters should let well enough alone.
