Financing Next Years Campaign.

Former Senator Dorsey, now of Calfor-
MIA. interviewed in London about American
politics, said:
Mr.. Roosevelt is candidate for re-elec-
ton, and has been a candidate for some
time. The Impression is growing that he is
the only man able to handle the peculiar
situation that has developed In the United
States In the last few years. I con-
WINGED that he is the only man with whom
the republicans can beat Mr.. Bryan.
Though | am a strong republican, l be-
lieve that Mr. Bryan would make a good
President. notwithstanding he has queer
ideas occasionally. He is the strongest
man the democrats have, and, unlike Roose-
Welt he does not go around with the big
stick
Just before leaving home I had inter-
views with several republican leaders. Their
chief fear is of Mr.. Bryans growing
strength l don't think. Gov. Hughes would
make any show against him. l don't doubt
Mr.. Bryan would be able to raise a larger
campaign fund than Mr.. Roosevelt"
Mr., Dorsey used to be an authority on
campaign funds. 1t was he who In the
Garfield and Arthur campaign raised the
money which found necessary in the
closing days of that fight to finance the sit
uation In Indiana He appeared at In
dianapois in the nick of time, and what
he brought answered an offset to what
the democrats had collected for their pur-
bration of the victory. Vice President-elect
Arthur complimented Mr.. Dorsey on his
work for the ticket
But from what sources is Mr.. Bryan to
get his money? His admirers are numer-
Gus. and all OF them will doubtless con-
tribute, but the sum total of such colec-
tiOns Is never large Sums of $50 and $780,
and $1,000 would have to pour in literally to
count in a great contest which eats up the
dollars. Mr.. Dorsey may think that In
some way the leading corporations which
Mr.. Roosevelt has offended will help Mr.
Bryan through a spirit of revenge. Just
now the feeling In that quarter against the
President is high. But will 1t manifest it
self as Mr.. Dorsey seems to suppose next
year?
For answer We have only to consider what
happened three years ago when many big
money concerns spent largely to try to de-
feat Mr. Roosevelt for denomination. They
are no more prejudiced against him now
than they were then. They did their level
best. but. in the end. had to support him.
When forced to choose between him and the
party he represented and the combination
which Judge Parker represented. they fell
In humbly behind the man they had for
months been scheming to retire.
VIII they do this again? If put to it.
undoubtedly. If public sentiment. or what
you will, forces the denomination of Mr..
Roosevelt next year. and the choice is be-
tween him. with the flag of the republican
party in his hand. and Mr. Bryan. with his
popocratIc deliverances and leanings. the
most extreme of the plutocratic opponents
of the President-even Mr.. Hartman and
PierpOnt Morgan themselves-will work for
the republican ticket with might a I'd main.
The Roosevelt ills may be very unpalatable
but Wall street could not be persuaded to
fly TO those Mr.. Bryan and his friends
would usher in.

garded as perfectly good practice to use
lead.
If Representative Waldo knows whereof
he speaks, and has testimony to offer as to
the tricks Of contractors and the slackness
of government inspectors. he should surely
report to headquarters and prefer his
charges in a regular manner. Post-prandial
speeches by members OF the House Of Rep
resentatives are not regarded as the best
media for the utterance of such serious &C
cusations. Mr.. Waldo Ia an officer Of the
government, and Ia intrusted with a re-
sponsibiity that Is not discharged when he
springs a surprise on a crowd of diners.
It is hardly to be believed that the shoddy
tricks such as those alleged can be or are
played upon the government by either the
contractors or the government-yard work.
ingmen. Our battleships have certainly not
shown symptoms Of having soap-plugged
holes in their hulls. but are giving as good
an account Of themselves in their voyages
and their maneuverings as may be ex-
pected from the best built war craft in the
world. AS for the relative merits Of the
rival systems Of construction. by contract
or at government yards, that Is too big a
question to be belittled and complicated by
haphazard statements Of this character.

The Waldo Charges.

Representative Waldo OF Brooklyn has
raised fog with his Boston speech about
rivet holes in battleshps plugged with
putty and soap. Naval officers and con-
tracing shpbuilders have resented his re-
marks with a vigor that must cause the
Brooklyn legislator to thank his stars he
did not express his statements in the COM
pany of his present critics. 1t is admitted
that rivet holes are sometimes drilled into a
ships plates in wrong places and that they
have to be plugged, but it is vehemently
denied that the plugs are ever made of
soap or putty. Genuine steel rivets are
usually used. though sometimes 1t Is re-

Is This Jealousyp

From the Pittsburg Gazette.
Hasn't a suffering public had about
enough of this Broadway business In
play. song, monolOgue, sketch and other
stage devices put forth to scoop in the
dollars of people west Of the Alleghenies7
These dollars are good money and they are
deserving of something more worth while
than this everlasting chatter of Broadway
Sane people long ago observed that the
country was being surfeted with gIOrifica
ton Of a thoroughfare noted principally for
It's Haunting vice with an especially allur-
ing glamour. The fact is, there are a great
many people this side of HOboken who
have seen Broadway. startling as this as
sertion may seem to some New Workers.
and they are not tremendously concerned
with 1t. They know that there are atmos-
pheres far more wholesome and far more
American in may cities than that to be
found on Broadway when the electric
lights begin to twinkle.

Vitr0phame.

A substitute for stained glass.
Vitrophane is. a material made in
Europe for the decoration of plain
window glass, to give the plain and
otherwise unattractive windows Il
decorative appearance and to shut
out an unattractive view without
shutting out the light. 1t comes in
variety of patterns, in rolls OF
about nine yards long and eighteen
inches wide; it is sold either by the
roll or by the yard. 1t is SO simple
to apply that any one can do it with
perfect results.

A Solemn Warning.

They picture me In guise grotesque.
They sheer at what l say;
They pilfer papers from my desk,
And peddle them for pay.
When philanthropic gifts l bring
They're tainted" men declare;
And oh. 1t is a fearful thing
To be a billionaire!
The snap shot artists lie In wait
To get you on the run;
The solemn facts you strive to state
Are changed to ribald fun.
The anarchists their geetings bring
To treat YOU to a scare:
And oh, it Is a fearful thing
To be a Millionaire.
Reach out, my son, as forth you 60
Your share of wealth to clutch!
But have a care In doing SO
For fear you get too much.
To moderate ambitions cling;
Seek not the lions share.
For oh. it is a fearful thing
To be Millionaire!

Railroad Rates and Postage.

From the Pathfinder.
The railroads are fighting with tooth and
nail the laws being pushed in various states
to limit fares to cents mile; they de-
clare with tears in their eyes that If they
cut fares they will lose money. And yet
when Uncle Sam reduced letter postage
from cents half ounce to cents an
ounce the receipts soon jumped enough to
more than make up.
