A DANGEROUS Practice.

One of the most dangerous practices
of the present administration is that
of appointing commissions from the
ranks of it's followers to do many
things which congress alone has the
constitutional right to do, and which
congressman are elected and paid to
do. By this means the president dele
gates to his own henchmen powers
constitutionally belonging to congress
to others who have ne particular rela-
lions with or responsibilities to the
public and do not render an account
ing to the taxpayers OF this country.
Under this nefarious system of COM
missions modelled upon the principle
of the old English Star Chamber, the
people are gradually losing their grip
on the purse strings of the nation,
and becoming the mere vassals of the
oftlceholding class.

Horses Still in Demand.

Happily the horse has a faculty for
upsetting the gloomy predictions that
he is fated to be put out of business
by the automobile. The horse business
has kept right on developing in spite
of the fact that the automobile indus
try has been engaged in similar I'M
dertaking. The demand for horses is
still great. The supply of some
classes of them is inadequate, The
prices are high. The automobile may
scare the horse into the ditch, but
it isn't likely to crowd him to the wall.
There will always be a field for the
horse, as there will always be a field
for the Observation-Disclosures Times.

Keep Your Blood Pure.

No one can be happy, light-hearted
and healthy with a body full of blood
that cannot do it's duty to every part
because of it's impurity; therefore, the
first and most important work in hand
is to purify the blood so that every
organ will get the full benefit of a
healthy circulation. There is ne rem
edy so good as that old family rem
edy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill con-
tains one grain of the solid extract of
s~arsaparilla blended with two grains
of a combination of pure and mild
vegetable products, making it a blood
purifier u%nexcelled in character. One
or two taken every night for awhile
will produce surprising results.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or s~ugar-coated.

THE TARIFF TAX.
lnsidiousIy Being Increased, Which
Adds to Trust Prices.

The collection of tariff tax on I'M
ports should be a simple matter, but
the Republican politicians, acting in
the interest of the protected monop-
olists, have purposely made the sched-
ules intricate and conflicting. There
are, at the port of New York alone,
hundreds of entries of goods held up
every month by protests of importers
because the appraisers are continually
trying to impose higher duties, by hav-
ing the goods entered under para
graphs of the tariff act other than
those that similar goods have hereto
fore been entered under. Then there
is the constant fight between the i'm
porters and the government officials
about the declared value of the goods
in the country of their origin. The
protected trusts and monopolists have,
under this administration, as under
former Republican. administrations,
controlled the appointment Of the Gus
tom house officials, and trust interests
have been subserved by so interpret
ing the law as to increase the duties
paid on imports, in the manner men
toned, so as to allow our monOpOlists
to increase the price of their products,
with which the foreign imports COM
pete. The higher the tariff tax, the
greater the price of trust products.
All this maneuvering and evading
of the intention of the ad valorem
duties of the tariff act is, therefore,
in the interest of the trusts and COM
bines that control the manufacture Of
homemade goods. There would not
be so great reason for complaint if
the increased cost of importing for
eign-made goods did not allow our
m~onopolists to add to the price of
| their homemade products and thus
make much more than g reasonable
profit. The whole question at issue is,
shall the trusts and manufacturers be
inordinately protected and thus al
lowed by law to increase their profits
at the expense of the American peo-
pie? Even the most rabid Republican
pr~otectionists do not now claim that
we have any longer any infant indus
tries that need protecting, for the in
fants have grown to giants, and in
league with the magnates of the rail
road, banking and other enormous cor
porations control, in a great measure,
the legislative, executive and judicial
departments of the government, by an
alliance with the politicians of the Re-
publican party for mutual advantage
and protection.
To revise the tariff law would strike
at the root of these evils, and although
perhaps not entirely curing all OF
them, it would tend to greatly reduce
the %exorbitant profits now demanded
by the trusts, most of whom are pay
ing large dividends on their watered
stocks and bonds, and would thus re-
duce the cost of living which is now
unnecessarily too high. Unless the
tariff is revised, so that the cost of liv
ing is reduced, the wages and salaries
of all classes must be increased to cor
respond with our enlarged expenses
1t is entirely unfair that the few
should monopolize prosperity at the
expense of the many.

oDELL oBEXEo HIS FATHER.
Emphatic Message That Broke Up
Conference of Politicians.

Four years ago, when eX-Gov. Odell,
of New York, was coming up for a re-
nomination at the convention in Sara
toga, there was a plan to put a man on
the ticket with him for lieutenant gov
ernor to whom Odell objected strongly.
The governors father, IS years old,
a deacon in the church and very strict
in religious matters, was in Saratoga.
There was a conference at one of
the hotel cottages that lasted until
late in the morning. The other lead
ers were trying to force Odell to take
the obnoxious man.
About two o'clock Odelrs father,
who had heard what was going on,
stalked angrily over to the cottage and
raped on the door. Frank Platt, son
of Senator Plat, came to the door.
"Well?" said Plat sharply.

Odell.
The governor came to the door.

RothschlIds Never Prosecute.

While the Bank of England makes
It a point lever under any circum-
stances to relinquish the prosecution
of those who have defrauded it in the
slightest degree, being willing, if need
be, to spend thousands of pounds to
capture and prosecute people who
have robbed it of even a few shillings,
the R%othschilds make it a rule never
to appeal to the courts or to the police
in such matters. OF course, they are,
like every other banker, occasionally
the victims of dishonesty, but neither
the police nor the public ever hear
about the matter. This has always
been a principle of the heads of the
house, who take the ground that it is
better to bear the loss in silence than
to disturb popular confidence in the
safety of the concern by allowing it
to be seer that its treasures are not
adequately safeguarded.

Master of Many Languages.

Gen. Picquart, French minister OF
war, is a sort of Admiral Crichton,
for, besides a wide general cultivation,
he reads, writes and speaks Russian,
German and English and Italian. Such
knowledge of language is not common
with Frenchmen, even those Of educa-
ton, but Gen. Picquart's facility is ex-
planned, perhaps, by the fact that he
is an Alsatian. The Alsatians have
long been noted in France for the
readiness with which they acquire
languages.

To Grow Their own Ties.

Allusion has been made to the steps
taken in some directions to counteract
the effects of deforestation which has
been going on so recklessly in this
country. One result of indiscriminate
tree destruction has been to curtail
seriously the supply of railroad ties.
As no satisfactory substitute for wood
EN- ties has been found, the situation
has become such as to give the rail
road companies great concern. Sew
eral months ago it was intimated that
the Pennsylvania railroad might un.
dertake the experiment of producing
its own ties, or at least considerable
proportion of them. 1t is now stated
that the company is actually to in
augurate such policy. Agents are at
trees on land in Pennsylvania convent
emily located for the purpose. The
company uses 100000 ties annually,
which means great consumption of
outlay becomes larger as prices in
crease owing to scarcity. The idea is
to care for the trees in accordance
with the most advanced ideas of for
.estry. 1t may be possible, says Troy
Times. that the company will thus
solve an economic problem of it's own,
and also set the country an effective
example of what can be done by wise
care of trees with view to the con-
servation of important natural re
sources.

BOY DENIES ORCHARDS STORY.
Young Neville Will Swear His Father
Did Not Help Blow UP lnde-
pendence Mine.

Cripple Creek, Colo.-If Charles Ne.
Vile, the sixteen-year-old boy, and ..he
main support of family. testifies to
what he has told his mother, the state
ments of Harry Orchard on the wit
ness stand will again be branded as
falsehoods.
He goes to Boise to tell the truth,
to vindicate his dead father of having
anything to do with the blowing up
of the Independence depot and tell all
of the late Jack MELVILLE in referring
to her son, Charles, who has been sum-
moned as witness for the state in
the Haywood trial.
Mrs. Neville said she did not desire
to have her son go as witness in the
trial, but he has been called, and be-
fore leaving for Boise remarked:
Mother, you would not think as
much Of me if l did not go and let
them know that father slept with me
all night and did not have anything to
do with the Independence depot"
She said that when she left her son
before he took the train for Idaho she
kissed him good-by and told him he
had nothing to fear and to tell the
truth. Mrs. Neville then remarked
that to great extent she believed
Harry Orchard in submitting evidence
was deliberately lying. She said that
on Sunday, June 5, 1904, the day before
the Independence depot explosion, her
husband, son and Harry Orchard left
with a camping outfit for prospecting
trip to Wyoming and that the three de-
parted from independence just after
dinner and exactly 12:45 p. m. Accord
ing to the statement of her boy, she
says the party en- route to Wyoming
camped out just before darq at LIE Roy
small townsite below Clyde.
She further says that the boy, who
slept next to his father in the wagon
box, knows that the elder (Jack Ne
night, as when he awoke at daybreak
his arm was resting over his fathers
shoulders. She says that Charles
found Orchard in the same position In
the wagon when he (yOung Neville)
arose on the morning Of June 9th, the
| day of the explosion, as when the
| three campers had retireG the NIGH
before. The woman says that her sor
| is of the opinion that Orchard could
not have gotten away during the night
blown up the Independence depot and
returned to camp before the boy
| awoke.
Mrs. Neville lives with her -four
children at Independence. Charles,
the oldest child, is employed at the
Isabella assay Office. She is running
boarding house and cares for heI
three girls, ranging in age from eight
to thirteen years.
