A Democratic Measure Defeated.

Even that nlgn RepuDllcdn authority,
the New York Tribune, is troubled over
the failure of Congress to pass the
Tillman bill prohibiting corporations
from contributing money in connection
with elections. While Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr.. Cannon could have pushed this
bill through the House in less than an
hour, they refused to do so. The Trib-
une warned these gentlemen against
resisting the passage of the bill, but in
vain. 1t said: "This is a reform
which public opinion demands, and
there is no good reason why it should
not have it's first trial in the approach
ing Congressional campaign. Delay IN
legislating against corrupt practices
will only suggest evasion, and such a
charge will prove embarrassing to meet
in the present temper of the voters"
Let it not be forgotten that the
measure failed because 1t was OBJ.
structed by President Roosevelt and
Speaker Cannon. And when the Presi.
dent goes out on his preaching tours at
the expense of Democrats as well az
Republicans, ask him why he stiied
the corrupt practices bill; why hs
keeps Cortelyou in his cabinet; why
he doesn't apologize to Judge Parker
for the falsehood he told about Parker
in 1904, and why he doesn't make
Cortelyou and Bliss pay back to the
policy holders of the life insurance
companies the money filched from them
in the last campaign. Teddy is a fine
preacher, but ''words are good when
backed up by deeds, and only So"

Lincoln and Roosevelt.
The National League of Republican
Clubs has been holding a jubilee on the
fiftieth anniversary of the birth of the
Republican party. How different the
policies and aims of that party are to-
day from what they were In 1856, is
not known by perhaps but one out Of a
hundred of its present members. The
clubs are now shouting for a high tar
if and protection TO trusts and the fos-
tering Of monopoly Is naturally ac-
quiesced in. In 1856 their predecessors
refused to insert tariff plank in the
platform, although urged to do so by
the Pennsylvania protectiOnists, with
Thaddeus Stevens at their head. The
Republicans of to-day are striving to
centralIze all power in the Federal gov
eminent and applaud President Roose-
velt for debating to and threatening
Congress and stand by, consenting to
his denuneiation of a Federal Judge
who does not decide &n important Ques-
ton according to the Presidents notion.
The Republican leaders Of to-day are
by argument and statute breaking down
the rights Of the States to home rule,
but the Republican leaders of 1855.
whose acts the clubs are celebrating,
solemnly affirmed in their national plat
form 'the right of each State to order
and control its own domestic instit'l-
tons according to its own judgment
exclusively"
That the Republicans are opportun-
lists and can change front with the
alacrity of acrobats is we'll proven by
their acts and promises, and President
Roosevelt is a shining example Of ac-
tiyity in these gymnastic political per-
formances.
Everything goes, at the time, with
the Republicans that will get votes, and
all that is necessary is to change again
If the move proves unsuccessful. There
is vast gulf between the party of
Lincoln and the reign of Roosevelt.

FREAK GERMAN STAMPS.
Pair from Valuable New York
 Collection Bring an Extraor- dinary Price.

A rare pair of German five-pfenning stamps in the A. H. Scholle collection sold for $S5 at the closing sale on re- cent evening, says the New York Times. The stamps were unused, the blue Reichs Post of 1900, which never were put in circulation. The color of the five pfennig of this issue is green. Several years ago customer of Berlin stamp dealer showed him one of the stamps that was blue. The stamp dealer took 1t to the post office authorities and asked if they had is- sued the stamp in that color. They had not. The color was due to chemical change To prove this theory a spe- cial sheet of 100 five-pfennig stamps in blue was issued and presented to the Royal Postal museum, which adds to its collection all oddities it can get. The sale of 20 of those stamps through a dealer D collectors raised storm in the Berlin Stamp society. The gov ernment issued an order that no more museum stamps be sold under any con- dition. Of the 20 blue stamps sold six are in this country.
 A used pair of the nine schilling Hamburg issue of 1859 brought s42; an unused two-cent green Labuan, is- sue of 1879. s17: an unused one-schil- ling Bahama. issue of 1862, s22; and a used four-centimes. Swiss federal, is- sue of 1si9-5o. s61.

WHERE FISH ARE CHEAP.
In Florida and Cuban Markets Fine Varieties Sell at Low
 Prices.

Commissioner George ". Bowers. of the bureau of fisheries, returned lately from Florida and Cuba. where he went to study the culture of sponges and the marketing of fish in that com munity, reports the Washington Post
 "I have always held" said MT. Bowers. that the old woman who raised chickens and the bureau of fisheries were the greatest benefsctors of mankind. As long as chickens and fish are to be had all the beef trusts In the world cannot run the meat mar ket up unreasouably. because the masses of people vill then eat chick ems aad fish"
 Mr. Bowers stated that the fish mar kess of Havana were . model of ef- feIency and thoroushness This con- dition s probably due to the large number of Catholics, vho are heavy consumers of fish
 In F1orisa Mfr. Bowers found that fsh were generally eaten and were re markasly cheap.

ACCUSED OF HAVING SALOON
 AND DWELLING CONNECTED.
The Case Was Tried in the City Court This Afternoon-The Accused Man Took an Appeal-The
 Logan Case Continued,

At this afternoons session of the city court Judge Peasley presiding, the case against Benedict E. Haus. dorf for maintaining an access be. tween his saloon on Vine street and his dwelling upstairs, was taken up Officer J. Mccarthy testified that he was in the saloon last Tuesday and saw room in the rear part. It seem. ed to him to be fitted up as a com bination dining room and kitchen. 4 cloth was spread on the table and there were dishes on it.
 The defense, conducted by Attorneys Bauby and Minor, moved for dis missal on the ground that it was not shown that the room was part of the dwelling house. The motion was dis missed, whereupon the defendant took the stand and stated that the room is used as kitchen where he pre-. pares the material for his free lunch. Sometimes he dimes there as in cases of rush of business, for instance. He has used the room for this pur- pose for the past eight years he has been in the building and he has never had any trouble before with the liquor laws. This completed the evidence.
 The defense said this was small spite matter on the part of someone, and that all first class cafes nowadays are equipped as Hausdorf's is. The room was not connected with any eth CT part of the house but the saloon.
 The prosecution contended that it was too plain for anything that the room was used by the defendant and his family as part of their dwelling. The court took this view of the case and imposed fine of $50 and costs. An appeal was taken.
 A case against Edward Logan for non-support of his child was continued as Logan agreed to pay $2 week for six months,
