country. However, to say the least, 1t
is amazing to consider how a calamity
was precipitated on the country III the
midst of an unprecedented era OF pros
peritv and with the banks overfoWlng
with money. Such predlcament Is pos
sible only under the system of Re-
publican policy which permits rascals to
thrive in high places and to escape I'M
Drisonment at hard labor i'll the penn
tentary.
An encouraging feature of the Pres1-
dents message is the President ad-
vocacv of the Improvement and better
ment of the inland waterways and the
building of the levees along the lower
Mississippi Equally refreshing IS his
condemnation Of the abuse OF the writ
of Injunction. In other respects ms
views are a rciteration of his attitude
towards railroads, the income tax and
other questions which are familiar to
all readers of newspapers.
The Presidents policy in connection
with the tariff revision is strictly con-
sistent with the Dictates of his party
There will be no revision of the tariff,
which means that the people must pay
tribute to the Infant industries which
have become gorged with wealth and
power and are resisting the government
in every effort to compel them to be
honest.

nutshell

\ GARFIELD VERSION.

The esteemed Timcs-Herald of Dal-
las. Texas, is at all times particularly
solicitous that the record should be kept
straight, and yet in the Bradley Brown
matter it drives coach and four
through the facts of the case.
In speaking of Mrs. Bradley's acquit-
tai upon the plea of the unwritten law,
the Texas contemporary says:
arthur Brown was the father OF
Mrs. Bradlcy's children, he acknowl-
edged their paternity and pledged his
word and his honor to legalize his off
spring by making their mother his wife
He forfeited his pledge, he made love
to another woman, he became engaged
to her, and the woman whom he had
cast aside pursued him from Utah to the
District of Columbia and shot him down
like a dog.
Arthur Brown was a married man
with family. Mrs. Bradley knew it.
The children she claims are Browns
children were born to her while Browns
wife was living, and while Mrs. Brad
ley's spouse was of the earth. A mutual
divorce was the scheme, and when Mrs
Bradley was ready Brown was not.
Now, that's the record.
An unfaithful wife joins an unfaithfu
husband in guilty liaison. There is ar
agreement that each will seek and OBJ
tain divorce from their mutual spouses
when the guilty pair can marry. Brown
fails to keep his part of the understand
ing and Mrs. Bradley kills him.
Brown was merely scoundrel. Mrs
Bradley was simply strumpet.

AN OVERLOOKED GRAFT.

During that Infamous era of recon-
struction,' one of the charges lodged
against the "alien and the scalawag'
was the enormity of the printing steal,
and it had reached in 1874, if Our MEM
ory serves u.s. the sum it now costs.
In 1874 we had Fourteenth of Sep
TENDER, and men, real men, died, heroes
were born, and a monument marks the
spot where blood was poured to abate,
among other things, printing graft,
But it didn't stay abated.
Slowly but surely we have piled up
the sum to where we shot it off i'll 1874.
alabama pays seventy thousand dol
lars for four years printing.
Arkansas pays for four years $4,000.
Mississippi 100000. which includes
Supreme Court reports, capitol and all
stationery, etc.
That for Arkansas and Alabama in
clude all stationery supplies.
Louisiana pays 100000 for four years
public printing alone!
This the Syndcated Edmunds helps
to enjoy, and
Sanders left it out of his platform!
Here is another reform which has the
sound of: Sh-h-h

AS THE I. d. SEES II

The Times-Dcmocrat holds that the
panis has brought us two lessons which
we should heed, and they are:
First. the need for an end of the
complete dependence Oh New York that
has been so salient a feature Of latter
day methods second, the need for a
Bank of the United States, with
power to hold the money market III
equilibrium. Herceforth each tub should
stand on its own bottom and provincial
bankers should have the bulk of their
reserves in their own vaults, even if
they forego a part of their profits there
by. In the effort to earn extra dollars
on the balances with the big concerns
of the metropolis, local industries are
cramped and the margin of safety, III
time of stress, becomes a deluslon.
Then. again. we should see that we
must have a central bank beyond the
sweep of cyclone and that such bank
must be but an alias for the United
States Treasury itself. In no other way
can all banks be given absolute assur-
ance against a run. Secretary Cortelyou
has done his bes to meet the emer-
gency, but the taxpayers will not long
tolerate expedience which force the
government to borrow, in order to lend
gratis. Such spendthrift devices reflect
upon the intelligence of the people who
sanctions them. The government now
has more than S2oo, 100000 lodged with
national banks. and this great sum will
be greater still, when the proceeds OF
the Panama bonds and the certificates of
Indebtedness shall have been placed
The government is consequently loser
of some $I5,ooo,OOo per annum by It's
performance Of the Hercules role. This
system will not bear the scrutiny which
the near future will bring. However,
these details will keep for the moment
for we now know that we have emerged
with Slight wounds from a critical con-
flict and that we shall soon have leisure
to try remedies not prescribed by the
quacks.

The saloon men became bitter and

Immediately storm of protest arose
and i'll ten days the saloon men reversed

help the enforcement of the law.
However, they had repented too late.
Their few weeks of arrogance and in

such, assume 10 dictate policies and to

There is seldom majority Of the

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
As usual, the Presidents message is
lengthy and wordy In these days of
progress, when time may be said to be
money, the limited few venture on a
perusal of the Presidents delverance.
The Presidents message is an old story
with few variations. 1t is characterls-
tic of the head of the Nation. From a
man of humble position, the message
would scarcely create ripple Of atten-
ton. 1t is given prominence because 1t
comes from official and all-powerful au-
thority 1t is plausible, it is catchy, it is
filled with good intentions, it deals in
glittering generalities, but it is no less
remarkable for its incongruities and its
inconsistencies.
For instance, he thunders his denun-
ciations against unlawful combinations
in restraint of legitimate trade and
against monopolies and aggregatlons of
great wealth which Cypress the masses
but favors legislation which encourages
and strengthens the crime of greed, of
dishonesty and of rascality and of the
robbery of the people under the guise
of law.
Equally erratic and peculiar is the
Presidents attitude on the financial
Question While charging the stringen-
cy of money to the boarding by foolish
people he failed to condemn the sys-
TEN which makes possible this loss of
confidence and which leads to the with
drawal of deposits placed in the banks
which are responsible for the intensity
of the lack of confidence manifested by
depositors.
Undisguised, the fact is that the Shy
locks and sharks OF Wall street are not
disturbed by the announced financial
policy of the President This very fact
is a demonstration sufficient. When the
wolves and jackals feel secure from mo-
lestation it is then time for the people
to become alert. Perhaps, in the Presi-
dents elastic currency reform may be
offered the panacea for the ills of the
