Plutocratic Dancer.

Leslie's Weekly in late article eX.
poses its plutocratic tendency and
control when it says: "The present
outbreak against the capitalized in.
dustries of the land, fostered by dem.
agogues on one side and by ambitious
refOrmers on the other, is proceeding
to such dangerous lengths that great
uneasiness is felt in financial circles
at home and abroad over the possible
outcome" 1t certainly does begin to
look as if the people were waking up
to their opportunities to prevent them
selves from being plundered by the
corporations, but what has been done
is comparatively nothing to what
must be done in that direction. The
railroad legislation, for instance, has
effected nothing, as yet, towards re-
vising unreasonable rates, which is
the real end of railroad legislation.
The trusts are still protected by the
tariff and are advancing prices, in.
stead of reducing them, and indeed no
steps have been taken by the domi.
nant party to try and proceed ito such
dangerous lengths" as Leslie's seems
to think is already felt in financial
circles" Why, bless your dear old
plutocratic soul, the corporations are
still in clover, but If they are wide
awake to the signs Of the times they
will set their houses in order, for un-
of profits there will be cyclone ere
long that will certainly upset a good
many people that now feel quite Sc.
cure on their prosperity perch. The
trouble is the financial interests"
have overplayed their hands and fear
that the public will 'call' them.
For the past ten years the trusts |
and corporations have had it all their
own way, with the Republican party |
them and in return being |
furnished with campaign Doodle to per- |
petuate this copartnership of plunder- |
ing corruption and graft. Public opin.
ion is coming to the point where re-
form will be demanded and the great
danger is that in the effort to ensure
there may be some inter
ests injured that are innocent OF
wrong doing. The Democratic plan OF
monopoly and cease protect.
ing the trusts and compelling the rail.
road corporations to charge reason.
able rates will be found much more
effective than the confscation OF great
fortunes, with no revision Of the laws
to prevent fostering such in the fu
ture.

Calls for Investigation.

It was, of course, improbable that
the ship-subsidy bill could be expected
to become a law without charges OF
bribery and corruption. Mr.. Alexander
r. Smith has been defending himself
from such charges, in the New York
Sun, and of course denies 1t. He ad.
mits that money was needed, but
when said that / might be able to
secure the funds to meet the expense"
there was of course no thought Of cor
ruption. Mr.. Smith very discreetly
omits to say where it was, or of whom,
he thought he might be able to "se'
cure the funds" Before President
Roosevelt sends his special message
to congress recommending the ship
subsidy steal he should investigate
who is spending money to plunder the
people.

much grace and dignity, the cur

titled, "Arabella's Poor Rela.

most creditably in their charac-

FUNNIEST character was that i'm

of luck had grown rich, and who
found much difficulty in securing

FRANK DUFFY
Died At Maryland University Hospital
at Baltimore. Last Friday at.
tern00n.
FUNERAL AT WEBSTER MILLS MONDAY

"Frank M. Duffy, aged 3Oyears. "
This was the inscription on the
plate of n casket sent from II Balti-
more hospital to the home of the
stricken parents Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Duffy of Webster Mills,
containing all that was mortal of
their son Frank, who had been TAX
en- away for surgical treatment
some two weeks ago, and died in the
Maryland University Hospital on
Friday, Jan. 18th.
Frank Nj. Duffy, well known
throughout the county as an expert
miller, was taken sick about Dec.
9th, with symptoms that were dag
noscd as those of appendicitis.
After two weeks illness at his
home, and as soon as he was equal
to the effort of the journey he was
taken on Dec. 26th to Baltimore,
by his wife, accompanied by DR..
W. f. Sappington, the attending
physician, for an operation
This he underwent the following
day and although the operation
from II surgical viewpoint was sue
cessful, complications of the liver
and lung later were discovered and
death resulted from Pyemia, or
pus in the blood, on last Friday
after two weeks stay in the hos
pital.
Frank M. Duffy was the oldest
son of Harry and Catherine Duffy,
nee Glazier and was twenty-nine
years and seven months old. He
came to the county with his parents
when a very young boy and grew
to manhood at Webster Mills.
Two years ago he was married to
Miss Jeanette, daughter of A. j.
Unger distiller, of Foltz, and began
housekeeping at Webster Mills,
assuming at the same time charge
of the tiouerinS mill. at that point.
BY his industry and economy he
extended the milling business and
by the itistlc taste and housewife
ly skill of his devoted wife they
were able to provide for them
selves one of the neatest and most
comfortable little homes in the
county.
In reviewing the life of Frank
Duffy we can only recall his many
admirable qualities of heart-his
genial disposition, his buoyancy of
spirit, his general kindliness of
manner that spoke for true COM
radeship. AS son he was faith
full to home interests, and to his
now grief stricken wife loving
and loyal husband.
With pleasure and pride we recall
his personal appearance-his ngure
of good proportion, his color of
cheek and activity of movement, so
instinct of health and vitality, fore
casting naturally II long life.
In early boyhood he had connect
ed with the Reformed church and
was member of that organization
ut the time of his death.
Funeral services were conducted
by Rev. S. b. Houston and inter-
ment was made in Union Cemetery
on Monday January 14th. The
very large attendance gave evi-
dence of the affectionate regard in
which the young man was held, and
the universal sympathy excited for
the bereaved family. S. M &.
