within the past ten years. under re-

sonable limits of activity and strength and
developed into formidable monopolies. de-

these evils and these dangers; but, While
the republican party, guided and inspired
by President Roosevelt, has sought with
much promise of success. adequate rene
dies for what is wrong, the democratic
party has advocated only crude, ill-consld-
cred, sweeping and revolutionary meas

abuses we regret and condemn, but would
surely promptly and hopelessly ruin the ma
tional prosperity we justly prize. Demo-

The conservative" democrats, who COM
prised the recent Albany conference, met
fbis morning to compare their bludgeoned
heads which although bloody they de-
clared to be still unbowed. They are fram-
ing a plan to take the fight into the con-

with Hearst. Fine words butter no pars-
MINIS however. and In this situation 1t Is
diflcult TO see how lofty sentiments VIII

who have them in the hollow OF their

There Is only one contingency that can
change present conditions. and that is 10

advantage to drop Hearst than to support
him and the conservatives have not peen
able to make that showing yet.

welfare he will talk high moral pohtlcs

LOOKING FOR TRANSPORTS.
War Department Officials Are Con-
tinuine Their Preparations,

Although it now begins to look as If there
might be no necessity for the employment
Of United States troops in Cuba. the Off
cials Of the War Department continue their
preparations for eventuaHties. Owing to
the lack of transports or other adequate
marine facilities. Col Pond, the acting quar-
termaster general. has addressed circular
letter to Steamship owners and agents ask
ing for Information as to the number and
capacity of vessels under their control
which might be available to the government
should their services be needed.
The letter was sent to all CONTROL. ng or
owning such vessels along the Atlantic
coast and the gulf coast to secure informa-
ton in advance in view of the trouble in
Cuba. Full information was sent as to
how many vessels each could let the gov
eminent have. details as to speed, tonnage
and passenger carrying capacity.
In the form submitted was the proposal
of the government to hire the boats, II pos
sible, by the day, assuming all responsible
ity for damage while they were in the gov
eminent service. s-.s=----.- .-a-.---
Because of the scarcity of other means of
transporting United States troops to Cuba
In a hurry in the event that 1t becomes nee
essary for the United States to intervene in
the pending struggle. the War Department
has arranged with the Navy Department
for the utilization Of such warships as may

orders have been given to prepare several
naval vessels for immediate sea service.
Among the, number is the large cruiser
Brooklyn, now in reserve at the League

auxiliary cruiser Prairie. recently ordered
In commission at the navy yard, Boston. 1t
has also been arranged to utilize the cruiser
Columbia for the transportation of military
forces to Cuba soon after she arrives at
Hampton roads with Secretary Root and
party.
No explanation Of these preparations Is
vouchsafed, but It is rfntimated that the
government has been commpelled to resort
to the use OF warships as transports because
of the exorbitant rates demanded by the va
rious merchant transportation companies.
It was said at the War Department today
that although the situation in Cuba is ap-
parently improved, 1t Is believed to be only
prudent to be fully prepared for prompt and
decisive action in case of am emergency.
