opher that ever devoted his life to
craftsmanship in all the hoary regis
tiers of time, counted free speech and
free press as the most valuable in
strumentalities Of government. 2. With
such decisions-not only unjust, but
palpably wrong-being ground out, IA
voring the great and discriminating
against the SMALL can sensible folks
wonder at the serious unrest which Is
growing among the masses and the
widespread dlstrust Of governmental
methods which undoubtedly exists?
The income tax decision and the Per-
kins decision will do more to breed
Socialists than all the agitators in the
land could do by speaking in public till
they are black in the face. If small
violators of the law are to be punished
and great ones are to go scot free,
what is the sense in going through the
expense and worry Of such stupen-
dous farce as trial?

So long as grass grows or water runs
the 8 to Z decision Of the presidential
commission which gave the presidency
to Rutherford B. Hayes, when Samuel
J. Tuden was elected, will be stencil
In the nostrils of all decent people.
A few days ago a high court in New
York decided by 4 to that George w.
Perkins was guilty Of no crime when
he took the money Of widows and or
phans held in trust by him and other
Insurance magnates and gave it in
huge gobs to the Republican campaign
fund. OF course under that decision
Perkins goes free, but it will change
the opinion Of no honest and intelli-
gent man touching the real character
Of that transaction. Nothing SO thor
oughly attests the moral degeneracy
Of the evil times on which we have
fallen as that Republican newspapers,
great In wealth and influence, defend
this transaction by Perkins and this
decision Of the court, on the ground
that anything done to defeat William
]. Bryan is justiaable. Yet the Repub-
lican party claims to be the party of
purity, enlightenment and patriotism!
Surely there never was sadder or
severer criticism on the utter hypoc-
risy Of the Republican party than these
utterances Of the Republican press
commencing Perkins as patriot
In this connection let it not be for
gotten that few years ago the SUI
preme court Of the United States rem
dered to decision to the effect
that the income tax was unconstitu-
tional, Notwithstanding the fact that
Income tax laws similar to the knock
ed out one had been held constitutional
for nearly century. The most dis
gushing feature Of that decision was
that 1t was rendered by reason of the
fact that one Of the judges changed his
the income tax law overnight. When
we In 1896 criticised the supreme court
for that decision we were denounced
as traitors. Courts, so they said, were
sacred institutions, and we were pesti-
lent disturbers Of the peace, but when
President Roosevelt jumped on fed
eral judge and trampled him into the
mud by reason of decision which he
deemed wrong these same men who
in 1896 cursed us through all the col
ors of the rainbow sang very small.
Two or three things ought to be
stated in this connection: /. No man
or officer or tribunal in this country is
TOO good OF sacred to be criticised.

Is 1t a Feeler7

Not long since three of the Georgia
delegation in the house-Messrs Bart
lett, Lee and Hardwick-gave dinner
to Governor Elect Hoke Smith of that
great state, which was attended by all
the rest Of the delegation. The func
ton was pulled off at the New Willard
In Washington. Next morning the
newspapers hailed Governor Smith as
a new Richmond in the presidential
field and said sundry nice things about
him as "the good southern man. for
whom divers persons have been look
ing and longing for, 10, these many
years. His eXcellency has just come
out Of redhot campaign, which at
tracted general attention-in fact, ma
tional attention-to the Georgia con-
testants for the governorship. Prior
to that he had been in the limelight as
a member of Clevelands cabinet dur
Ing the second term. That he is man
Of ability is generally conceded. Wheth-
er the time has arrived when the south
ern Democrats will place man of
their own In the running and whether,
IL they. conclude to do that thing, Gov
ernor Hoke Smith will be the man
am not trying to determine. am SIM
ply noting fact which has caused
some stir in the public prints.
The discussion Of possible candidates
can do no harm. Quite the contrary.
Senator John Warwick Daniel, Senator
Culberson and Governor Joseph Win
gate Folk are frequently mentioned in
this connection. On the Republican
side most Of the prominent Republic
ans receive an advertisement of that
fattering sort. The plain truth Is that
when the Democratic nomination is
mentioned one name Bryan's = like
Abou Ben Adhem's, leads all the rest.
Whether Secretary Shaw's business
connection in Wall street will ellmi-
nate him from consideration as pres
ldential possibility remains to be seen.
He must have thoroughly considered it
himself before making it, for he is not
man who does things in a haphazard
way. He does not go off half cooked.

So the santo Domingo job has been
consummated by the senate's ratifica-
ton Of the treaty. AS matter of fact,
1t did not appear to make any sort of
difference whether 1t was ratified or
not, as the president was running
things over there under the modus
vivendi which he patched up with the
bandit president Of that SO called re-
public, who has long since left his
country for his country's good. That
the treaty means ultimate annexation
Of million or two of mongrels and Of
perpetual trouble everybody with two
Ideas above Hottentot knows.

congress did in passing the so called
Aldrich currency BILL 1t contains sew
eral bad features, but the worst Of all
is that it diverts custom duties from
the treasury into the pet national banks
Of New York, especially into the Rookie
Teller bank. 1t gives him hundreds Of
millions of deposits annually on which
to trade and draw interest. The gov
eminent of the United States gets not
one penny of interest on these deposits.
It's an outrage. Several states let daily
balances out to banks which pay the
highest interest. Missouri in this way
receives about 100000 annually. Dem
ocrats have introduced bills of that
sort into congress which would bring
the federal government three or four
millions Of interest annually, but the
Aldrich machine will not let them be
enacted into laws. How long, o Lord,
how long, will the people stand such
performances?
SqueaIs.
The squeal Of Wall street magnates
when they fail to have fine large
crop Of lambs to shear is music to the
ear Of an honest yeoman. They have
been squealing great deal Of late.
The lambs appear to be growing shier
and wiser. In their last circular letter
to the public Messrs. Henry Clews &
Co.. bankers, emit this squeal:
We have had another week Of irregu-
larifV and weakness the StnCR FY-
change. Liquidation was renewed on a
quiet and persistent scale, which encour-
aged depression and more or less dis
turbed general confidence. At the mo-
ment the greatest element Of weakness
Is the continued issue of short term rail-
road notes on an unprecedented scale.
Since the first of the year fully $500. OOO.-
boo Of new securities have been authoriz-
ed, of which more than 5000. 900. 900 repre-
Bented short term obligations, chiefly rail-
road notes. In the majority of cases the
latter are to be classed as desirable in
yestments and especially attractive on
account of the high rates of interest gen.
orally paid. but the issue Of these notes
In such amazing sums emphasizes I'M
usual financial conditions The require
ments of the railroads are urgent and
must be satisfied. while conditions in the
Recurity and money markets are obvi-
ously unfayorable to the marketing of
new issues. Had 1t not been that very
considerable portion Of the railroad notes
has been successfully placed abroad the
market here would have suffered still
greater depression. Our bond market is
already gutted and weak. Fortunately
Europe. especially London and Paris has
taken liberal amounts of these new Sc
curities, thus ayerting dangerous strain
upon the local money market at critical
period and also materially strengthening
the probability of gold imports to say
nothing of providing our railroads with
funds to carry out much needed improve
tnents.
The outlook for the money market con-
anues peIpIcAlng. Local bank reserves
ought to have risen materially at this
period. Instead they continue far below
the average of previous years at this
season. This is disappointing

One of the most popular men in the
public life of America for the last
third of century is Hon. Joseph G.
S. Blackburn Of Kentucky-Joe Black
burn, as he is called everywhere. He
went out of the senate March and
supposed he was going into permanent
retirement, but the president, like all
the rest of Washingtonians, having a
high opinion of Blackburn, made him
nm isthmian canal commissioner, which
was graceful thing for the president
to do. Everybody's glad Of Senator
Joe's good luck, and if the prayers Of
his friends could avail he would be
holding the position when the canal
is finished, which at the present rate
Of progress will be in something like
thousand years.

D. C..

Most folks know that the congress
Of the United States sits two days out
Of every month-and at odd times be-
sides--as common council for the
District of Columbia, but they may not
know that 1t is the most preposterous
legislative performance known to this
continent. 1t is precisely that, never
theless. The chances are that every
man in house or senate would make a
respectable and effective city council
man if he possessed the necessary In
formation as to local affairs, which he
does not. On the contrary, he has not
the information and in the very nature
Of things cannot have. So things per-
tanning to the District are done In
most haphazard fashion. The severest
commentary on representative govern
ment ever made Is that right under the
shadow of the capitol dwell 100000
American citizens who have absolutely
no voice whatever in the conduct of
their own affairs. 1t is crying shame
An anomaly which should be abated.

Everybody in the house is glad that
President Roosevelt has made an as
sistant postmaster general out Of Hon.
James 7. N1cCleary of Minnesota. He
is most excellent gentleman, honest,
capable, industrious, intelligent, cour-
teous and ambitious. He is the worst
stand patter of them all. That's his
sin, and that's what defeated him for
reelection to the house; but, barring
that, McCleary is tip top man. He
seems to me even in that to be typi-
cal Republican. In my judgment, n
tariff revisionist has no proper place
or function in the Republican ranks.
