The Tariff and Cotton.

Republican newspapers and spell
binders who claim that the Dingley tar
if bilI-from which they gravely but err
roneously assert all our blessings flow
would do well to ponder the facts
as to cotton exports. No man in his
senses will, il he values his reputation,
assert that the Dingley tariff bill has
anything TO do with our cotton exports,
for the ordinary short staple cotton OF
commerce is on the free list. For the
fiscal year ended June 80 we export
ed $400, 100000 of cotton, nearly the
amount of the balance of trade in our
favor. That's an enormous sum. For
eign necessities caused that vast ex-
portation Of raw cotton, and none save
an idiot will assert that the Dingiey
tariff causes people in foreign lands
to want our cotton. The whole case
IS this: They must have cotton, and
they can't get it elsewhere; therefore
they buy our cotton, Dingley bill or nc

porous now; therefore the world con

Uncle Ioe,s Chill.


The other day Mr.. Speaker Cannon
had a hard chill up ia Maine. and
about the same time he stated in an
interview or IN a speech that stranger
things have happened than that the
American people would demand that
President Roosevelt shall remain in
the White House till 1912. Whether
there was any connection between the
two things we are not informed. Il
may have been that the information
as to flour years more of Theodore
gave Uncle Joe the chill. Again, il
may have been the sinking feeling
which succeeds chill which caused
the speaker to take such a cherries
view of his own presidential prospects
OF course it may have been mere co
incidence merely that and nothing
more. Everybody will regret that
Uncle Joe has the chiIls. Usually be

The Kansas Situation.

Some time ago | gave an account OF
how two fiery ex-constituents, William
FL. Bates, lieutenant general of the
army, now retired, and Arthur Murray,
brigadier general and chief of artillery,
had prospered and climbed up the mills
tary ladder. am proud Of them.
They were both born and reared in
Missouri in what was once ssthe bloody
Ninth" congressional district, but which
Is now sthe peaceful Ninth and which
have the honor to represent. These
are soldiers. Out In Kansas there is an
other of my ex-constituents, Colonel
William A. Harris, a statesman who is
giving our Republican friends much
trouble. He is the Democratic n0mi-
nee for governor, and the signs Of the
times indicate that he will win. Though
he is an ex-Confederate soldier, the
old Union soldiers are very friendly to
him. Colonel William Sapp, who for
years was chairman of the Democratic
state committee and who made for
tune in zinc mines, has standing offer
to bet 2 to / on Harris ia sums to
suit any gentleman wsao thinks that
Hoch can beat Harris. 1t is said TINT
Republicans will not only vote for
Harris by the thousand, but that they
contribute freely to his campaign ex-
penses.
The Kansas Republicans are divided
into two bitter. wrangIing, jangling
factions-the Stubbs faction and the
Hoch faction. Stubbs Hon. W. r..
Stubs -clalms that he discovered Gov
ernor Hoch and made him chief magis-
trate Of the state. but my old friend
Colonel Bent Murdoch also claims that
he discovered Hoeh and made him gov
ernor. Stubs and Murdoch differ on
that point, but they are united in hat
ing and loathing Governor Hoch. Not
long since Murdoch fatty refused to
shake hands with Hoch in public
place, which recalled the Douglas Mar
mion episode which good Sir Walter
Scott has embalmed in immortal verse.
Certainly Stubs and Murdoch do not
greatly resemble old King Lear, but
they could give him pointers on the sub
ject Of ingratitude, and they are not
mealy mouthed about expressing their
opinion. It Is somewhat of a fight to
control the railroads, but thousands Of

The report from Washington that
Mr.. Secretary of War William Fl. Taft
is to decline seat upon the supreme
bench is entirely credible, as he is a
known aspirant for the Republican
presidential nomination But the 9th

the supreme bench must be accepted
with some misgivings, for that would
give Massachusetts two places on the
supreme bench out Of nine. While
there is no law against such state of
affairs, custom and good sense are
decidedly against it. That would give
the nine judges to eight states. Surely
the thirty seven other states have law

Especial washington Letter.


~ NOE upon time. an almanac
A n maker in London achieved great
reputation as a prophet by pre-
dieting that it would snow in
that foggy region on the 4th of
July. When the St Louis Globe-Dem-
ocrat plulnes itself on its powers Of
vaticlnation people naturally think Of
that almanac maker. Every two years
for three decades it has been prophecy
ing regularly that Missouri would go
Republican. Once in that time-in 1894
when the Democrats We're in bad
humor, the Republicans had small
majority in the state. In 1904, when
once more they were in bad humor,
there was a political dogfall. Roosevelt
carried the state, and the Democratic
candidate for governor also carried it.
Roosevelt got the electoral vote of
Missouri because 10000 Democrats
stayed at home Now the GID. claims
that the state is in the Republican col
umn to stay and that the Republicans
will sweep it from Kansas to the
Mississippi this fall This may deceive
outsiders, but fools nobody here at
home. The state is at least 10000
Democratic IL Democrats turn out.
The GID. has a correspondent at JEFF
ferson City who kills off one Democratic
congressman every Sunday. Not long
ago he defeated Judge Rucker Of the
Second district, in which there is a clear
Democratic majority of nearly 5000
when they are all out. The name of
this destroyer of Democratic congress
man is Saumel KelIar. His modus
operandi is very simple Here 1t is:
If all the Democrats stay at home, the
Republicans will win, provided they go
to the election. Now, that's easy
dead easy-easy as falling off a log,
and a slippery log at that. 1t is said,
"In vain does the fowler spread his net
in the presence of any bird" Yet here
day in and day out the Globe-Democrat
fowler boldly spreads his net in the
sight of the Democrats of Missouri and
aggravatingly says to them. Il know
you have about 1000 Democratic ma
jority in the Ninth congressional dis
lElCt VI A1iSSOull, bub VIC iilChu "
carry it for the Republican candidate
for congress because more than 1000
of you careless Democrats will stay at
home on election day." Surely the
Democrats of Missouri cannot be
caught in a trap when it is explained
to them every day by Republicans pre-
cisely where and what the trap is. Yet
that is the only way the Republicans
can carry the state or any one of the
fifteen congressional districts.
In the meantime the Republicans of
Missouri are divided into two bitter
factions headed by Colonel R. G. Ke-
rens and Thomas Niedringhaus. They
hate each other as cordially as did the
rival houses of Capulet and Montague.
They not only quarrel--they come to
blows. Up at Monroe City, in Judge
Fuckers district, Postmaster Megoun
and j. Porter Patton, whom he sue
ceeded in Office recently, had fight,
In which Megoun was knocked down
and Patton received a four inch scalp
wound before they could be separated.
That's fine sample of Republican har-
mony In Missouri No doubt Messrs.
Kerens and Niedringhaus would be de-
lighted to disembowel each other liter
ally were they not afraid of the law.
Missouri Republicans are indeed hap
py family!

The Party Of Morality.

Somebody some Republican leader
once dubbed the Republican party "the
party Of God and morality" Perhaps
luckily for his peace of mind that man
is dead, for 1t is stated in the dis
patches that Mr.. Proctor, just elected
governor OF Vermont, spent $250,000 to
purchase that .honor.n In 1900 Yer

Our Ambassadorship to Turkey.

is absolutely ridiculous. Truth to tell,

chance to swell up at foreign courts,

we are concerned, would put quietus

dence at royal functions.

Banker stensIand.

The capture of Stensland, the Chica-
90 banker thief, in Morocco recalls the
capture of Boss Tweed in Spain many
years ago. BY some sort of conniy-
ance with the New York authorities
Tweed escaped from the officers who
had him under arrest and sailed for
Spain without any officer knowing his
destination. Why he selected Spain
as the land of his exile has never been
explained. Perhaps the willy boss
thought they were so sleepy headed in
the realm of the Spanish dons that no.
body would ever recognize him. That's
precisely where he fell down. for no
sooner had he set foot on Spanish soil
than a Spanish policeman recognized
and arrested him. No doubt that was
the greatest surprise of Tweed's life,
and all mankind was surprised to learn
that the Spanish policeman recognized
him from seeing his caricatures by
Thomas Mast in Harper's Weekly
How he happened to see them has new
er been made known. On dit that
Stensland chose Morocco as place
Of residence by reason Of the descrip-
ton Of that country set forth in a
comic opera of which he was fond.
That's rather fishy, but may be true.

Women for Congress.

For the first time Texas can boast
that it has a woman candidate for con-
gress. Laura B. Payne is a socialist
and presumably a woman's suffragist.
at any rate she is a vigorous campaign
er and outspoken against all grafters.
No woman has yet had a seat in the
house of representatives, but both dem
ocratic and republican parties have
gladly awaited themselves of women
campaign speakers. At Cincinnati in
1876 women addressed Il republican
convention for the only time. In 1900
at Kansas City Mrs. Cohen of Utah sec
onded the nomination of Bryan. Utah
and Wyoming sent women delegates to
the republican national conventions in
1892 and 1900. Under equal suffrage
numbers of women have been elected
to the legislatures of Colorado and Wyo-
ming, but they have seldom held any
other office i'll the state government
than that of superintendent of educa-
ton
To Belva Lockwood belongs the dis
tinction of having been twice nomina-
ted for president by the equal rights
party, in 1884 and 1888. There is moth
ing apparently in the constitution of
the United States to bar Laura p.
Payne of Fort Worth from seat in
congress. 1t prescribes merely that
no person shall be a representative who
shall not have attained to the age of
% years and been seven years citizen
of the United States, and who shall
not, when elected, be an inhabitant of
that state in which he shall be chosen.
1t is only question whether Laura
B. Payne will admit that she is % and
can poll enough socialist votes.

EXPERTS HIRED FOR
AUDITING OF BOOKS
Henry County Supervisors for
Examination.

Definite arrangements for an official
examination of the books in the office
of the Henry county clerk at Cam
bridge have been made by the finance
committee of the board of supervisors.
The firm, Jones, Caesar, Dickinson,
Wilmot & Co., of Chicago, New York,
and London, was employed to do the
work. This firm Is probably the best
known in the line which it follows in
this country. 1t has $50 expert ac-
countants in its employ all the time.
1t is the firm which recently completed
the investigation of the books in the
Cook county office at Chicago.
1t is proposed to put two expert &C
countants at work at once, beginning
tomorrow, and to push the work as
rapidly as possible. 1t was decided
that no information should be given
out until the complete report is ready.
The Davenport accountant, ]. c..
Grabbe, who was hired by a number
of Cambridge men, is still at work. 1t
is stated by one of his employers, that
no reports are to be given out on his
work until it is completed. In the of
fetal examination it is probable that
the work will extend back to 1882, the
year in which the office was removed
from the fee class and placed on a sal
airy basis,
