It strikes us that Mir. Hearst is likely to find himself between two stools, if nothing worse It will be re- membered that he some time ago filed statement of campaign expehses amounting to something over $256,O00. Although this was looked on as enor- nous, not much surprise was felt, for he is known to be very wealthy, and It is also known that he spent his money like water, as the saying goes.
 If if had stopped there no one would probably have lost time thinking over the matter. Nobody doubted that he was paying heavily for the chance of good office. and most people would have passed 1t over with the reflection that he had a right to scatter his own money, but it was not allowed to stop there. What is known as the Asso- citation to prevent corrupt practices at elections" has taken up the matter and has brought suit to compel him to make a new statement, with items oi receipts expenditures and liabilities" and this is calculated to make him lie awake at night It is believed that he spent much more than the, amount given In his filed statement, and 1t is also believed that he spent money In ways that he doesn't care to have the public know anything about. If the courts force him to make a true item ized statement 1t may be found that he spent money in a way that will force him tt face suits in the criminal courts. Then if his full statement which Is called for shall show an amount differing materially from that given in the sworn statement. already filed he may also be called to answer criminal charges.
 We do not know what measure of success this suit will achieve. but we are of the opinion that William R. has some trouble in prospect. If the law can compel him to make full account ing there may be disclosures which will not be at all pleasant to him, and if his two reports do not agree he win also be in trouble. Looks like he may have to do a lot of explaining, if it lies in his power to do 1t.

FAVOR THE RAISE
INCREASED SALARIES F0R sENA-
 TORS AND REPRESENTATIVES
Underwood of Alabama Leading Fight td Prevent Addition fo lPFesenf Expenses Of GovernmRenr
 and May Succeed.

Washington, Dec. .'13.-The House is seemingly inclined to raise the salaries of tho House members as well as those of the Yice-President the Speaker, Senators and Cabinet officers.
 Before resumlng consideration of the Legislative, judicial and executive ap- proprlation bill today, Mir. Littauer of New York endeavored to have a resoln- tion adopted providing for taking up the question of Increase while the bill Is under consideration in committee of the whole.
 But Mir. Underwood of Alabama ob- jected to it's consideration in commit tee. He said, however. he would make no objection to its discussion in the House after the Dill was reported by the committee of the whole. He added that he, was opposed to the increase but said he would not block the way for serious consideration by the House.
 His suggestion met with favor and formed the basis of an agreement that when the bill shall be reported, the question of general advance in sala- ries will be taken up and voted upon as an amendment before the legislative bill is finally atced upon by the House.
 Tbere is, however, q possibility of failure to carry the agreement into effect. due to a report that Democratic members will generally refuse 10 par tlcipate in the proposed action. The Republican leaders Intimate that if anything Is to be done, general co-op- eration will be necessity.
 Mfr. Littauer said his provision would raise the salaries of the Vice. President and Speaker to $15,000, of Cabinet of ifcers to SI2,000 and of Senators and Represen natives to $7,500.
 should the minority avoid direct vote on the question 1t Is the intention Of MT. Iittauer to withdraw the amendment rather than have the in- crease accomplished by Republican votes. The agreement to debate tho question Tn the House and not in com mittee of the whole. blocks point of order which ordinarily would lie against the amendment. The amend ment will be offered as a last para graph of the legislative appropriation hfll

 New York, Dec. 13.-Bishop W. B. Der rick 'of the African Methodist Episco- pal Church. whose home is in Flushing, L. l., in an interview, expressed diff ferent opinion from that of other lead CTS of his race respecting President Roosevelt's dismissal of the negro sol- diers for the Brownsville aftslir. t- . 'I am personally acquainted with the President" says the Bishop. He is impulsive. but his impulses are al- ways on the side of justice and right. Therefore, I cannot believe that color or the race question entered into his decision to have the colored troops dis charged I would not believe 1t unless he told me so from his own lips.
 'I deplore very much the seemingly infiammatory statements which certain men of color, who ought to be moro sober in their statements have made in regard to the President"
