The Democrats won signal victories

admission of Oklahoma and Indian
territory as a state into the union;
and they defeated the outrageous
scheme Of the Roosevelt gang to force
joint statehood upon New Mexico and
Arizona against the wishes of the
people of either territory; they forced
through congress the Tillman-Gillespie

F.. between the railroads and
corporations engaged in the produc-

with the aid Of certain Republicans,
also defeated the Santo Domingo
treaty and several other treaties ne
gotiated by the administration which
calculated to impair the credit
Of the country abroad and overturn
constitution at home. If they had
been in power they would have enact

LIFE IN OCEAN.
Professor of Cambridge (Eng.) Uni
versity Tells Some New and
Interesting Facts.

]. Stanley Gardiner, of Cambridge
university, has been exploring the
Indian ocean and gives it as his opin-
ion that at one time there was land
connection between Ceylon and Mad
agascar. But it is in describing the
wonders Of the deep that his report
grows most interesting. "A very con.
siderable variety Of deep-sea fish was
brought up" he says. AT least half
the number we secured seemed quite
new specimens, and, l believe, are
not described in any textbook. Some
Of these had enormous eyes, some
only rudimentary eyes, the size of
a pins head. while. some had no
eyes at all.
One Of the most interesting dis
coveries we made was that floating
life is exceedingly abundant at all
depths down to about 1000 fathoms
in seas $500 fathoms deep. BY float
ing life I NEAR animals which form
the food Of whales and deep-ocean
fish, and which up to the present
have been believed to live on or very
close to the surface. A variety OF
enormous squids was fished out as
well as jelly fish and gigantic prawns
fully six inches long. Some of these
latter were blind, while others had
huge eyes. but nearly all of them
had phosphorescent organs, which
would naturally be due to the fact
that they live at a depth where al
most total darkness prevails.
The blind varieties had enormous
f~eelers, or %tentacles, some of them
extending to twice the length OF
their wv bodies. Some forms, such
as the water flea, which is only about
the size Of a pins head in surface
water, we discovered six or ten times
that size in GOO or 700 fathoms."

Still Trust High Prices.

The great objection of the people
to the trusts and combines is that they
have increased the prices of their
products inordinately. The object of
the administration in its spectacular
trust busting performance seems to
be to make the trust barons divide up
with the Republican machine part Of
their great profits to the campaign
fund and so keep the Republican par
ty in power. The trusts and corpora
tions were quite liberal to Mr.. Cortel-
you for Mr.. Ro%osevelt's campaign, and
as he is not only chairman of the Re.
publican national committee but a
member of the cabinet also, and thus
knows all the trust and administra-
ton secrets, he will doubtless be able
to make the trust magnates again con-
tribute for the coming campaign. The
trouble with this Republican plan Of
trust 1usting is it will neve make
the trusts reduce prices, but is rather
an incentive to add to their potts so
that the people may be made to a
the contributions to campaign funds
as well as being plundered FOR the
benefit Of the trust magnates them
selves. With all this Republican noise
about trusts, can you name one trust
that has reduced the price of its prod
ucts?

ERA OF BIG THINGS.
Rewards Than Ever in
Worlds History.

In these days the surgeon who is
master Of his science receives fees
which would have startled the surgeons
and the public so years ago. A fee OF
$4,000 is not uncommon for an CD
Grafton which can be performed in
comparatively little time. OF course,
$4,000 Is not the maximum fee.
There are cases, it is stated, in
which as much as $25, 900 has been
paid. When life is hanging by a
thread the question of fees is i'm
material. The average man will give
all that he has, If required, to get a
new lease Of life through the sur.
geon's skill. A famous throat spe.
cialist was once summoned from
London to treat the father of the
present kaiser. He remained only a
few days after making a diagnosis.
He rendered no bill, but it is said
the German government gave him a
fee which represents half a years
earnings Of the specialist, who had a
very large income from his profess
sion. Even the literary man receives
large fees for his work. Mr.. John
Morley, it has been stated, was paid
$50, 900 to write the Life of Glad
stClle." Certainly, great skill and
talent never commanded greater re-
wards than they do now. 1t is an era
of big things.

Continue to "Stand Pat"

The Republicans of Maine-that Is,
the Oligarchy that controls that party
in the Pine Tree state, have deter
mined to stand pat" Senator Frye,
a Republican leader in the United
States senate. was chairman of the
state convention, and referring in
his speech to the attitude of the Re.
publican party or the tariff, said:
1T will continue to stand pat" This
official announcement of the future
action of the Republican party on the
tariff question is not unexpected, for
it has been evident since Congress
met last December that the stand
patters had complete control, and
that President Roosevelt had joined
in letting well enough alone" This
shows the power of the protected mo-
nopolies, which is SO great that even
our strenuous president fears to take
up the cudgels against them, although
some of his friends declare he is at
heart a tariff reformer.
For a president and a party that
boasts of doing things" they will
HoW nave u duu, IL we QdTe 10 DUCK
the real mOnopolists."
All the spectacular trust busting is
comparatively worthless, unless the
foundation of the monopoly, that le-
aglizes the p%lundering of the people
through the tariff, is knocked from
under the tariff protected trusts and
combines. The fact that the iron
and steel production of the country
is controlled by the steel trust, and
the sugar trust controls sugar, and
the beef trust controls meats, and
the hundreds Of other trusts and com.
bines control nearly all the ~necessi-
ties and luxuries of life, would not
be of such consequence if their pro-
lection vas withdrawn and COMPETE
ton from other countries protected
the people from their monopoly
prices. Everyone knows that the
cost of living has advanced AZ per
cent. since the present Republican
tariff law was enacted, and that enor-
nous inroad on the incomes of the
people is mostly caused by the pro-
lection granted the trusts, which the
Republican leaders so glibly declare
they will stand pat Upon.

WASHINGTON.-One of the old men Of the
senate who does not rush off Immediately upon
the adjournment of congress is Senator Red
field Proctor. of Vermont. The reason he does
not join the early exodus after congress adjourns
is that he has some of his principal business
interests in this city. No one knows how
wealthy Mr.. Proctor is, as he is as mum as a
piece of his own granite or marble regarding
his personal affairs, but by inheritance and by
his own acquisition he is the largest individual
owner and dealer in marble and granite in the
world. He is very fond of these two stones, and
he is gradually putting them into buildings of
considerable consequence here in Washington.
He owns many granite and marble front houses
and has just completed a very large apartment
house with glistening white marble front.
Like some of his wealthy colleagues and
dr. Proctor has had a good deal of faith in the

1t is not generally known that the largest

river, some 16 miles northwest of Washington.
They are called the Great Falls of the Poto

little more than local fame and a very mall
percentage even of the inhabitants of Washing

Subordinates in government offices in Wash
ington have a way of getting even with superiors
whom they do not like. With every appearance
of faithful performance of their work, they can
still so retard it and mix it up as to show a
mighty poor record for their chief and at the
same time make it very difficult for their own
movements to be discovered. The latest exhibit
ton of this method of getting even" was in
the case of Public Printer Stillings and occurred
on the last day of congress. Since Stillings was
brought to Washington and put at the head of
the public printing office, there has been great
friction between him and the subordinates In
that establishment. He was given his position
on the promise of inaugurating great reforms,
and most of his time has been spent in reorgan-
izing the force and in fighting with various
cliqueS and organizations within the office.

SENATOR ALLISON AND soBR1aUET OF "PussYFoor."

A spirit of sadness spread over the senate in
the closing hours of the last session., because of
the absence of William Boyd Allison, the ven
cradle senator from Iowa, and for 33 years a
member of the senate. This veteran statesman
has broken very much in the past year. and it
was with the deepest sorrow that his colleagues
saw him compelled to yield the leadership on
appropriation bills to another. For many, many
years Mr.. Allison has been chairman of the
senate committee on appropriations, and in that
position has directed the distribution of billions
of dollars. No man in the senate understood
the construction of appropriation bills and what
were necessary expenditures so we'll as he.
