Publicity Bill saueIched.

The reports to the effect that the
Perry Belmont publicity or any other
honest publicity bill would be passed
by the present Congress need not
have deceived any one. No publicity
bill will be passed by the republicans.
They propose, first of all, to keep the
slush funds of 1896, 1900 and 1904
secret, and they next propose to leave
the way open for more slush funds of
like sort. All reports to the contra
ry were intended to deceive.
The subject will come up in the
Sixtieth Congress In acute form If the
democrats secure control Of the House
of Representatives. If they do ifot.
then the subject will go over to the
campaign of 1908 to be decided then
and there. 1t will in that case become
a live issue of that campaign, sharing
with the tariff public attention.
The better plan is to work this year
for a democratic House, for demo-
cratic House of Representative could,
and surely would, unearth the source,
amount and application of the vast
corruption funds of 1896, 1900 and 1904.
The whole truth about those gigan-
tic attempts to buy the presidency and
to control 1t and through it the gov
eminent must be exposed If the re-
public is to endure. Corruption reach.
ed its height in the three campaigns
named, and the hope of the republic
lies in the uncovering of the millions
that were subscribed and expended for
the purpose of controlling three presl-
Dental elections. The money did the
work, but how it did it, and where,
and the entire manner of the dark
business stands unexplained. The
whole truth is demanded, and 1t must
be brought out.

He was elected two years ago by a
plurality of 246, while Mr. Roosevelt

studied by those who are watching the
trend of public sentiment.
Every congressional district in the
northern states will be contested, and
the democrats hope to secure reyer-
sal of the verdict of two years ago.
The doubtful districts are impatient
and restless over the robberies and
tyranies of the trusts and the refusal
of the republicans to revise the tariff.
The republicans are distrustful and
the democrats hopeful, and the in
dependent voter becomes again a fac,
tor and an element of doubt.

New York Politics.

The rise of socialism In New York,
or rather of municipal ownership and
anti-bossism, have complicated mat
tiers so much in New York that no one
can estimate even to his own satisfac-
ton whom the people of that pivotal,
or rather pendulum, state will elect
governor in November.
Tammany repudiates William r..
Hearst's ambition whether it lies to-
wards the mayoralty, the governorship
or the presidency. Hearst polled last
November as candidate for Mayor
1A3,920 votes to 140,6 for Mcclellan,
and 64,0SS for WINS, the republican
candidate What does such a vote
mean when the field is extended
throughout the state? No one knows,
and many fear the result, for it Is
fully determined that Hearst is to be
sprung, or rather is to spring him.

self, before the people of New York
as a candidate for governor. This
This means a three-cornered race.
Governor Higgins will doubtless he
the republican nominee, and it is said
the democratic nominee will be either
Judge Herrick. or Mayor Adam of BUT
falo. The interest then centers in the
source of the Hearst vote. If he draws
from both parties about equally as he
did last fall in the mayoralty race, the
hight becomes a square one between
the two old parties, and the pendulum
may swing back this year, and the
state go once more democratic. But
it is as difficult to say what the out
come will be as to say what a lottery
drawing will bring out.

CURTIS POKER STORIES.

From the Journalist.
They were talking to Dave Curtis, in
the Press club card room, about his new
book. Stand Pat" which L. c. Page &
Co. of Boston are to bring out next week,
and Curtis said: IT reckon this particular
volume holds the cream of all the Mis-
sissippi river work I've had in the Sunday
Sun for the last ten years. People call
them poker stories. and so they are, In
the sense that there's game of poker
in each story, but to my notion the real
value in them If they have any, lies In
the preservation of type of character
that I haven't seen for a good many
years, and that I never saw excepting
In the Mississippi valley.
ITS quite a while now, since I went
down the river the last time, but even
then the old type was disappearing. Life
on the boats was not the same as when
I was a youngster The open gambling
had almost disappeared. and the rough
and ready desperate no longer dominated
the scene. It's all an Improvement, or
course. but 1t seems to me It's worth while
to try to preserve a recollection or what
I always considered a picturesque and
interesting phrase of western life
my principal characters-Old Man
Greenhut, Long Mike, stumpy and their
pals-are real people, or rather, they were
when I talked and drank and played
poker with them. If they interest the read
err as much as they did me, the book will
be a success"
