dent Rooseyelts plans for CUBE. As
they fear Cuba's business interests will
suffer greatly II the republic is re.estst-

that Cuba must stand further probation
before the provisional government lie
Withdrawn.
Gres. preparations are being made 10

MAYOR dunno, assisted By Dir. vii
lam Randolph HeaTst, succeeded beau
tilajy yesterday i'll having himself badly
bsaten for reelection az Mayor Of Chi
ea7o, aad taking the affairs of tie city
from the democrats and turning them
over ic the republicans. The chief
issns was municipal ownership and that
bnmbnc was showed under worse than
vas Mr. Danne. The American people
are getting tired Of this Issue aud in the
past lev years have dealt 1t a bad blow
whenever an opportunity was offered.
William Randolph Hearst went per
sonally from New York to take par; in
the campaign and took with him car
toonists and editorial writer' His papers
were the only publications in the city
supporting Mayor Dunno, sll other
newspapers being for Bnsse and against
municipal ownership. The papers isvor-
ing Busse also made much of the cry
that Cbicsgo Was able TO manage its
own interests without receiving instruc-
ton from New York. The vote general
" showed decided reversal of public
opinion on municipal ownership com
pared with the mayorshty campaign two
years ago. AT that time Dunno receiV-
ed lGS,l votes, against 1851 for
John NJ. Harlan. the republican leader.
This gear the republican vote WAS close
70 l65, 900 aud that OF The democratic
Gloss to AS. 900. A crank in Baltimore
claiming to be democrat, offered his
services as Mayor of that city on the
municipal ownership issue but The Bal
timoreans very sensibly decided that
they would have none Of it and gave his
opponent more majority than the other
fellow got votes.

yon's committee has never been denied,
of course. 1t YVES testified to under

summoned Mr. Bliss and MF. Cortelyou
10 the witness staud If it had been

mans statement because there Ia not
a committee before whom Mr.. Bliss
and Mr.. Cortslyon and others can
be summoned and compelled to testify.
Congress has refused TO make an In
yestigation of the corporate contsibu.
tions of 1904 or to pass Law pro.
hibitipg corporate contributions.
1.-THE money raised by Mr.. Hartman
and contributed by the life insurance
companies aggregating $3.50, 600 was but
a drop 10 the bucket compared with the
total contributions By railroads and other
great corporations"
Judge Parker urges prohibition OF
corporate contributions and adds; st
will help 10 solve that problem rightly to
learn that governmental power In the
past has been used for political purposes
to raise mosey TO continue an ex
listing administration. The proof that It
has been 20 used will make II perfectly
clear to every mind that 1t can be used
again; aye, that 1t will continue TO be
used so long as politics and business can

Dinner a La Carte.

DR.. Edward Everett Hale was one Of
the guests at a millionaire's dinner.
The millionaire was free spender, but
he wanted full credit for every dollar
put out. And as the dinner progressed,
he told his guests what the more ex-
pensive dishes had cost. ''This ter
rapin," he would say, twas shipped di-
rect from Baltimore. A Baltimore
cook came on to prepare It, The dish
actually cost one dollar a teaspoonful."
So he talked Of the fresh peas, the
dollhouse asparagus, the Covent garden
peaches, and the other courses. He
dwelt especially on the expense Of the
large and beautiful grapes, each bunch
a foot long, each grape bigger than a
plum. He told down to a penny what
he had figured 1t out that the grapes
had cost him apiece. The guests look
ed annoyed. They ate the expensive
grapes charity. But DR.. Hale, smiling,
extended his plate and said:
Would you mind cutting me of
about $1.87 worth more, please?"

That the cost of living is steadily in
creasing in other countries, as we'll as
In the United States Is undoubtable. In
Germany prices have advanced to such
an extent that what were few years
ago taken as a matter of course and
regarded as necessities, are now dis
tfnctly luxuries to the middle classes.
In recent address the mayor of the
City Of Stuttgart, which has popu-
lation of 247,OOO, stated that during
the last twelve months the city's meat
supply had cost about 100000 more
than for the preceding year. The agri-
cultural products consumed in the city
cost at least 100000 more than the
year before. Owing to this great In
crease Of cost the city was compelled to
raise the wages of all it's laborers and
employees Reports OF like conditions
come from almost all other German
cities.-Harper's Weekly.
