England'S Campaign Fund Scandal

A fine new campaign fund scandal
seems to have been uncovered in
England, and the old conservative
party, already sadly in the doldrums,
is in excellent prospect of more
troubles. Charges are made that
the political war chest has been
kept filed by contributions, in part,
from newly rich people who have
sought peerages, and have been will
ing to contribute literally in con-
sideration of the right political in
terest in their behalf.
The affair viii not fail to
strengthen the remarkable move
ment toward deeper democratiza-
ton of the United Kingdom. The
plain people are having their day
under the present liberal govern
ment, and its majority is so over
whelming that its election inside the
maximum period of a parliament's
life seems impossible. Doubtless it
would in the ordinary course, like
any government, suffer some losses
at the bye-elections; but these could
hardly affect seriously its hold on
power. If the scandal of traffic in
Peerages develops as is. promised.
there is good reason to suspect
that it viii give a powerful impetus
to the movement for abolition of
the house of peers.
This English scandal of the peer
ages for pelf suggests the great
difficulties of purifying the business
of political contributions. In Eng
land their corrupt practices laws
are far more stringent than anybody
has yet suggested for this country.
The amount that may be expended
by a candidate is strictly limited. and
likewise the sources from which
money may be raised for political
uses are presumed to be so restrict
ed that possibility Of sale of political
influences for campaign money viii
be minimized. Yet here comes the
spectacle of the national organiza-

the American Protective Tariff
League, to believe the denials?
1t seems that Australian manufac-
turers think their infant industries
need protection against the policy
of American manufacturers who sell
their products in Australia at such
cheap prices that competition with
them is impossible. Dumping
that is the word the premier used
is the plan of selling goods abroad
at very low prices 1t assumes that
the foreign price is made much
lower than the home price. Mr..
Deakin protests that Americans
have been doing it TO such extent
that it has become a menace to in
dustry in his country. The pro-
tected manufacturers of this coun-
try still deny that they do it to any
appreciable extent. 1t would really
be worth while to learn whether

speaks. He ought to, and we mag

1t involved an heiress Of san Fran

Hughes and the Nomination.

A word-or two-on Col. Henri
Watterson's claim to have discovered
Hughes as a Presidential necessity
for the Republicans.
If he is right, he kept the discov-
cry under a busheI too long. Hughes
is without doubt necessary to the
faction which is to control the next
Republican national convention. If
he wins in New York and controls
its delegation to the convention
next year, ne may easily be War
wick, if not king.
For if Hughes loses control of his
State, it viii go with the conserva-
tive element Of the party. 1t will
go with Pennsylvania, Jersey, New
England, ana that debatable part of
the South and far West which will
be organized against the progressive
movement of the Roosevelt wing Of
the party.
The Republicans can elect without
New York; but the progressive ele-
ment in the Republican party cannot
nominate without New York. That
is why Governor Hughes is one of
the very biggest men in the country
today. That is why in the largest
sense the fight in New York is piv-
otal.

Concealed Weapons.

One of the most conservative New
York dailies, in discussing the re-
cent crusade against the carriers of
concealed weapons in its city, goes
straight to the root of the matter
when it says that such a practice is
"a combination of cowardice and ig-
norance, which produces IS per cent
of the homicides which crowd our
criminal court calendars" in ex-
PLANTATION of this rather outspoken
theory il remarks:
Imprisoning a few hundred or n few
thousand of these inchoate criminals
might discourage the habit of cOndIo--
ing private war In the foreign colonies

police could probably shut off 70 a
great extent the supply OF weapons I ow
going INTO the hands Of men who carry
them for ''Self-defcnse" and men who

burglary.
The man with n pistol in his pocket

1t may be added that it is also
ignorance that makes the work of
disarming difficult and turbulent.
The men who carry weapons misun-
derstand the Governments motives

bend why in this land of the free

The "Square-Rigger" Passes.

Less than 300 Square riggers''
now fly the Stars and Stripes. From
Rockland to Savannah trim Ameri-
can ship is almost a curiosity.
Ships, banks, and brigs-scarcely a
week goes by without "a reduction of
their number by reason of wreck,
.dismantling, and condemnation.
Sewelrs magnificent feet is now a
remnant. The clouds of SAIL are
slipping behind the horizon.
Act we are not to have a sea with
out sail. Weiare not to lose
The beauty and mystery Of the ships
And the magic Of the sea
Steam cannot supplant the winds.
The square-rigger passes because n
more worthy sailing successor has
been found in the American
schooner As , writer says in the
current Outing:
Built on the old clipper model, they
sail like witches, and owing to their
peculiar construction can be readily
loaded and discharged. They require
but little ballast, and having no heavy
top-hamper can, If necessary 70 the
trade take on immense deck loads. IN
the lumber traffic of the Pacific North
west we find these vessels leaving port
with huge deck loads towering ten 10
fifteen feet above the rail. Occasionally
they get caught In a blow and have 10
sacrifice "a portion OF the deck load, but
where one meets such a mishap, dozens
reach their destination safely and land
their cargOes intact.
So in the ten years ending 1904 $40
schooners and 167 sehooner-rigged
barges were constructed total of
546-against POS steamers for the
same period. Moreover, the size OF
our schooners has nearly doubled,
increasing from $50 TO SOP tons bur
den The fleet is now matter of
l,523 seagOing schooners, aggre-
eating 764,s66 tons.

Railroads Must Unbend.

Travellers OF every State should be
gratified TO learn of a decision of
the United States Supreme Court
yesterday to the effect that the
railroad commissioners of the State
of North Carolina can compel rail
road company operating in that
State TO so adjust its schedule as to
accommodate passengers on other
lines from any particular part of
the State. This is a body blow to
the tyranny often exercised by com
peting and hostile,railroads where
by the public is made to suffer.
Everyone knows the bile-stirring
experience Of arriving at railroad
functions TO find that trains which
by all the rules Of common sense
and business principles should have
been ready to take transferring
passengers along, have departed a
few minutes before. The only con-
ISOLATION customary in such cases is
TO be told that 'the roads hate each
other like pizen and won't agree on
Il time table" Now comes the tri-
bunal of last resort in this country,
and says that they must, if ordered
TO do so by a railroad commission.
Every State has here a glorious op-
for practical railroad re-
form.

Money for .PeaTy?

a lack of only about 100000 should
not be the means of preventing the
possible attaining of the North Pole
by Commander Peary next summer.
This intrepid American has already
reached farther north than any civil
lied man who ever trod the earth.
and it would seem a pity if his great
work, now so apparently near com
pletion, should be blocked perhaps
forever by the lack of what is to
some men but trifing sum:
It would seem to be the privilege
as well as the duty of some man Of
means interested in science and
filled with the spirit of American
endeavOr to furnish the money for
this probably final expedition of the
man who has already planted the
flag of the United States nearest the
goal of all nations. There should
be no need to ask public subscrip-
tons for it, and the suggestion of
one of the dispatches that the school
children be asked to raise the neces-
sary amount is unworthy of any
consideration whatever. If there
are not milHonaires in this country
with strong interest enough to in
duce them to finance the expedition,
it is certainly not the province Of
the people at large to make up for
their delinquencies.

The Limitations of a Bank.

tional bank at Fort Leavenworth,
Kan, the Louisville Herald asks:
Is not this a key to the solution of the
canteen problem2 The soldiers now

With a bank at hand where they might
place their savings. the temptation TO
excuses is greatly lessened. The

can peoples educational system. The
school enlightens, the bank enriches and
safeguards. The Fort LeavenwOrth
