The Jamestown Exposition seems

The Jamestown Exposition seems in
desperate straits for funds, nothwith-
standing the fact that the records of the
Treasury Department, to which the
receipts must be reported to meet the
terms of the Federal loan to the enter
prise, show that the number of visitors
is much larger than was the attendance
of the Buffalo Exposition during the
opening period. Under the conditions of
the last Federal loan of 81 200, 900 to the
Exposition its directors must pay to the
Treasury 40 per cent of all the revenues
received from the opening day to the 1st
of July. Beginning with July the Ex-
position must pay to the Treasury $Ioo-
600 on the 18th and last days of every
month, until the loan has been lifted. II
these terms are not met, the Secretary OF
the Treasury must take control of the
Exposition.

Recently the Adams Express compa,

Recently the Adams Express Company
cut $24, 900, 900 melon for its stock
holders. This melon represents profits,
and amounts to 200 per cent dividend.
For each share of stock a shareholder
will get $500 in bonds. Nine years ago
this same express company handed its
share holders $I2, 900 dividend.
These princely dividends are the result of
the exorbitant rates charged for service.
Does anybody doubt that those rates
could be cut in half and the bus mess still
conducted at an immense profit. If the
Government had charge of it, as it should.
do you think the express rates would be
one quarter what they are at present
But just mention Government ownership
to any politician and see him throw up
his hands in horror and begin to talk
against it. How long will the people
continue to let these hirelings of the COR
porations run the Government in the
interests of the moneyed crowd and not
of the people?

Did you ever watch the fluctuations"
on Wall Street and the reports sent out
from the White House? If you did you
will notice there seems to be some sort of
telegraphic connection between the head
quarters of the stock gamblers and the
Chief Executives Office. The president
makes some covert threat and stocks 60
down. Then he is quoted as saying that
he is not against corporations and stocks
go up. This has happened SO often that
it looks like there must be some method
behind these moves and advance infor-
nation before them. When Cleveland
made threat of going to war with Vene-
zuela stock slumped over four hundred
millions in one day. Cleveland's friends
made millions on advance information.
Is the present dynasty playing the same
game and has government become mere
stock gambling device9

According to the Philadelphia Ledger,
and the Ledger will find others who agree
with the assertion, the democrats of
Maryland are in bad shape and are fight
ing among themselves like Kilkenny
cats. The deaths of Senator German and
I. Freeman Raisiu have left the party
without big boss. Ex-Governor Frank
Brown has stepped to the front in Balti-
more city, and managed to pull Mahool
through. But in the State his leadership
is disputed. Representative Talbot, of
the Second District, has large following
in the State, but they are not of the sort
who can be depended on in an emergency.
The Democrats of Maryland for years
have looked TO the corporations to finance
them, says the Ledger. This was worked
through German. But now the railroads
and public utilities companies have shut
the bag aud there is famine in the land.
The Democratic State Convention has
been called to meet at Baltimore August
8. aud with divided party the outlook
only one month before the gathering Is
not at all auspicious for the Democrats.

Miners, which led up to the trial of VIM.
D. Haywood, at Boise, Idaho, for the
murder of Governor Steunenberg, have
been revealed this week by the testimony
of former employe of the agency and
the reading of the reports of the detectives
sent into the district for the purpose Of
creating strife. The defense is showing
up the conspiracy which was Matched by
the nine owners to overthrow the feder-
alton of miners, and proving Orchard a
champion liar, who, while protesting to
commit crimes at the instance of the
miners, was in reality in the employ Of
the mine owners and Pinkerton agency.

The Headquarters Committee of the
Anti-Saloou League of Maryland has de.
cided to enter upon an active political
campaign and report decisive victory in
the first clear cut contest for the next
legislature.
Mr.. w. L. Richards of Brunswick, a

organization of the Frederick County
Anti Saloon League, working in harmony
with the State League, and failed to
secure nomination.
sour Headquarters Committee has
decided" said William H. Anderson,
State Superintendent, ''to send letter to
every member of the last legislature who
is candidate for re election this fall.
This letter will contain the official League
booklet and statement of the legislation
sought by the Maryland League, and
these gentlemen are invited to state
whether, if re.nominated and elected,
they will stand for legislation to this
effect'
The League is also sending to every
pastor in the state request for list of
the voting membership of his church,
with the party preference indicated, and
a suggestion that picked committee of
three be named from each church.
These lists are to be used for the purpose
of sending out information as to the atti-
tude of candidates upon the temperance
questionjust prior to the election.

There has been much dissatisfaction
among bankers and banking associations
over what they call the infringement OF
their rights by the Express companies OF
this country and this week a great
financial struggle has been precipitated
by complaint fled by over seven thou
sand bankers charging the Express COM
panies with violation of the Interstate
Commerce law in conducting banking
business in addition to their business as
common carriers. In the complaint it is
alleged that the express companies known
as the Adams, the Pacific, the Well
Fargo, the Southern and the Great North.
ern are now and have been for long
time dealing in exchange, both foreign
and domestic, in the form of money
orders, letters of credit, travellers checks
and drafts. all of which it is claimed
comes Within the proper and legitimate
business of banking and which is in
violation to the Interstate law that a
common carrier shall not be engaged in
another business. 1t is claimed that the
Express companies have further en-.
croached upon the bankers business by
buying and selling foreign money and
transferring money by cable and mail.
They rent space in railroad cars at much
lower rates than the bankers can secure
it and are therefore able to carry on their
financial business more economically
than the banks. The bankers are calling
upon the Interstate Commerce Commits
ion to issue an order compelling the
Express Companies to discontinue their
banking business.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

designations from the Panama Canal
Commission are predicted and it seems
probable that another general upheaval
is to occur. When Col. Goathals of
the United States Army was put in charge
the President and Secretary Taft were
said to have breathed sigh of relief
Here at last they had man who could
not resign. 1t was almost as sure as for
man to marry his cook in order to keep
her from leaving. Col. Goethals belonged
to the army and he had to obey orders.
He could not leave his post unless he
resigned from the service. But less than
three months after arriving at Panama
the Colonel applied for four months
leave of absence. it is said that he is
disheartened by the general apathy
among his subordinates and discouraged
by ~the immensely of his job. Three
other members of the Commission,
Messrs. Sibert and Gaillard of the Army
and ex-senator Blackburn are urging the
President to relieve them from further
work on the Canal There is dissatisfac-
ton on all sides and it is probable that the
entire work will yet have to be done by
private contract. The secret of the lack
Representatives and officials generally
have blocked efficiency by giving places
to their relatives and friends without
regard to their ability or fitness. The
Administration is accused of being too
lenient with the political greed for
Federal patronage and the scramble for
desirable places at high salaries and the
jealousies arising from political pref
erments have given rise to all sorts OF
chaotic conditions. 1t is said that the
resignation of Chief Engineer Stevens
was caused by the interference of poll
ticans and it is easy to see from the
reports from the Isthmus that the work
has been steadily declining since his
departure. The excuse for this is the
prevailing rainy season but during the
rainy season last year Mr.. Stevens kept
the work up to normal level and the
real cause is said to be the dissatisfaction
of the Commission and their inability to
agree on the program.
Engineer Ripley who was to build the
great dam at Gatun and entered on the
work with flourish of trumpets is ask
ing to be released and it is believed that
Col. Goethals request for four months
leave of absence is really the beginning
of the end of his connection with Canal
matters. Officials here are pessimistic
about the completion of the work. Even
the President and Secretary Taft, it is
said, are beginning to lose courage and
the only relief in sight seems to be a
general back down and the turning over
of the Herculean task to private con.
tractors, such as was contemplated when
William ]. Oliver and his associates made
their low bids for the work. 1t is doubt
full if Mr.. Oliver would be favored now il
there should be such re- arrangement
of the work. His indignation was so
great when he lost the contract originally
and he expressed it in such vulgar vio-
lence it is probable that he would not be
accepted. But there are a number of
other firms willing to do the work and
with reliable backing; and it is probable
that in the Fall there will be another call
for bids.

A matter of interest to all who travel
on railroads is the institution of suits
against great number of railways by the
Department of Justice to recover pen
alties for violation Of the safety appliance
law. The railroads to be made defen-
dants in the suits number over sixty and
the number of violations charged against
them makes total of 1888. The individual
number of violations alleged against
them range from one to twenty-five.
several having between sixteen and
twenty. AS it is impossible to know
when there is a violation of the law
except by an accident and investigation
this number is partial estimate of the
accidents resulting in fatalities which
have occurred since the passage of the law.
1t is believed that the Attorney General
will press the suits regardless of the
evasious aud subterfuges of the roads
which have in their constant employ
some of the best legal talent in the
country. The President is known to be
in favor of rigid enforcement of the
safety appliance law which was so
stubbornly fought in Congress by the
representatives of the roads and their
lobbyists.

Ogden, U, Jan. % The west
bound express on the Southern Pa
cific was ditched at Death, New, 149
miles west of here, shortly before IL
O'Clock last night. The entire train
of eight cars was hurled from the
track and turned completely over. A
number of passengers were injured,
but the railroad officials claim not
seriously. The accident is supposed
to nave been caused by a defective

them seriously.
