WON'T BECAUSE THEY CAN'T,

MT HILE the declaration or admission that the
one reason why the Democratic party
should oppose the use of money at elections now,
is that they have no money TO spend for that pur-
pose, was fresh upon his lips, l.. Irving Handy
at the Democratic meeting at Bavaran Park, Sat
urday night, said that the use of money at cleo
tons (by Repubhcans) must be stopped We
agree with Mr.. Handy that the corrupt use of
money with voters should be stopped, but not by
Republicans, but, by all parties or individuals.
Our view of this matter is not one of expediency,
and unlike that of Mr. Handy, it would be the
same whether the Republican party had money
or not that it could spend for such a wicked pur-
pose. The Republican party for many years was
the victim of the vile and venia system OF vote
buying inaugurated by the Democrats and sue
cessfuly worked by them BY brbng men with
dollars and things of value. from pair of boots
to a barrel of -four, and by furnishing fraudulent
tax receipts 10 those they could induce to vote
the Democratic ticket. the Democratic party for
years continued in control of the state The Re
publicans of course, were against such system,
and at every election their party platform
denounced the wicked system and corrupt prac-
tice. The Republicans are Just as much opposed
to it to-day as they were years ago. Their oppo-
stion has been one OF intense sincerity and so
totally different from that of the Democrats,
which, if Mr. Handy is to be believed is based
upon no moral ground whatever, but on exped-
iency due to the fact that their election corrup-
ton money barrel is empty.

TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every
Republican in close touch, and work
ing in harmony with the Republican
National Congressional Committee in
favor Of the election of a Republican
Congress.
The Congressional campaign must
be based on the administrative and
Legislative record of the party, and.
that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's
personality must be a central figure
and his achievements a central
thought in the campaign.
We desire to maintain the work of
this campaign with popular subscrip-
tons Of One Dollar each from Repub-
hcans. To each subscriber we viii
send the Republican National Cam
paign Text Book and all documents
issued by the Committee.
Help us achieve 4 great victory.

and Bryan does rot wish to be buried quite as
deep as the judge has been.
The Bryan reception doubtless will be wild
and enthusiastic affair even if the silver dollars
are not rolling in in torrents for the expenses OF
the jamboree
Colonel Bryan for the time being has dropped
the silver question although in several Of his in
tcrviews he has intimated that silver might again
come to the front as an issue under certain CON
ditions He was arguing along the line that as
we had more money and prices had advanced, it
might be good idea to have a little more money,
silver If necessary, and to continue the prosper
ity. 1t IS true that prices have scared. Every
house wife and every man who goes into store
knows this. The advance in wages of many peo-
pie has not kept pace with the increase in the
cost OF commodities Suggestions OF still higher
prices coming from Colonel Bryan or any one
else will not be received with relish by those who
have to foot the bills

Every one who has travelled to any
great extent has not failed to notice the
appalling los OF life in recent years. which
has been caused by collisions on various
railroads, and the death and intense sui.
ferlngs that have been caused by cars in
wrecked trains "telescoping," and IN
many Instances catching on fire. Those
who have never seen a teiescoped train
can form but a vague idea OF what Il
means. II seems incredible that the body
of one car can leave its trucks com
plctely mount the platform Of the car
ahead or to the rear and force its way
entirely through it, stopping only when
the force of the impact has ceased YET
such an Incident is not unfrequent in bad

DANGER TO THE BRYAN BOOM.

HE revived Colonel Bryan boom is going at
Il such pace that it may exhaust itself be-
fore the next two years roll around. The Ques-
ton of Bryan is stirring the Democrats every
where-those who have not permanently left the
party as many of the gold Democrats have done,
are frantically trying to get into the Bryan band
wagon. They do not wish to be left high and dry.
Democrats of high and low degree already are
making long distance predictions Of the nomina-
ton and triumphant election of Colonel Bryan
Where the votes are coming from to accomplish
this no one stops to consider and the sinister
Hearst who IS political free lance ready to
strike in every direction, is left out of calcula-
tions
Colonel Bryan has sharply resented statements
that he has become sane and safe and has fre-
auentiy announced that he is as radical in his
views as ever. He knows the peril Of being con
'idered sane and safe Demoeratically Judge Par

WARNING TO CORPORATIONS.

THERE is to be no let up in the prosecutions
Il by the government of alleged violations Of
theinter-state atecommercelaws. The batch of ndict-
inents returned at Jamestown, N. ". against the
Standard Oil Company and the Pennsylvania
and other railroad companies is another warning
10 the great corporations that they cannot con-
tinue rccklessy to combat the government and
defy the Federal authorities, trusting 10 the re-
sorrceful tactics OF their attorneys to devise
means of escape. The government may not win
the cases and to be sure the penalty for such
violations is fines that will not make a large drain
upon the resources of the rich corporations that
are being pursued by the government
1t is only natural that after years of immunity
and with their powerful representatives in both
branches OF congress, also often controlling
general assemblies in the states that the corpora
tions would have legislation so tied up that they
could be permitted to follow whatever plans they
pleased without serious consequences.
The great lesson to be learned from the
action Of the Grand Juries and the Federal auth
critics is that at last a movement has begun in
this country to meet out justice to the rich as we'll
as to the poor that the nation is no longer field
to be plowed only in the interests OF the pre-
datory corporations. The government with all
its energy, with its resources and tireless skill
has begun 10 fight for the square deal and no man
who opposes the policy that has been inagurated
by President Roosevelt can hope to win before
the people.
The railroad managers are soon to hold a meet
ing in the west to discuss the new measure pass
ed by the recent session of congress, which, des-
pte the heroic efforts Of the followers of the
President was mutilated by the corporation
agents in the upper house, falsely posing as sena-
tors Of the states. One report was that the Rail
road managers would test the constitutionality of
the measure, attempt TO pick flaws in it, overthrow
or evade the law and devise plans to continue
their crooked methods. Another rumor and pro-
baby the correct one is that the managers will
comply with the law and that its provisions will
really benefit the companies. 1t is held that the
railroad companies will no longer be subjected to
the sand bagging OF the Standard Oil, and other
rich trusts, which have demanded rebates and
which have amassed their giant wealth by con-
spiraces frauds and ruination of their competi-
tors Ii would hardly seem likely that the rail-
road managers, If they were relieved of the club
bng OF the monopoes, would desire to continue
an cessant fight with the government
The managers and directors are human beings.
they are as susceptible to public opinion as are
other men, This was shown here in Delaware
by the quick response of the Pennsylvania COM
pany to the desire Tor Sunday train service on
the Delaware railroad Although it does not seem
probable that there will be a violent conflict over
the mild interstate commerce law. The out
come would be more drastic measures
