ground here that Castro's power is

being drawn from alleged non-com-

According to his attendants at the
hospital where Castro is undergoing
treatment, he did not transact any
business whatever today and did nor
even leave his bed or see any one.

Rep ublican Disaster.

Are railroads rates to be raised
on August II The railroad
managers claim that either rates
must be increased or wages re-
duced to make both ends meet.
The Republican politicians say
that to reduce wages during the
campaign might lead to strikes
and the defeat of. the Republican
ticket. This puts the railroad
managers in dilemma that is
difficult to extricate themselves
from, for they have dec' ued it is
for their best interests to elect
Mr.. Taft and they, therefore, do
not wish to embarrass the Repub-
can managers by reducing wages,
80 it lie said they will increase
railroad rates about ten per cent,
The business interests are much
opposed to an increase of rates
which would naturally lead to a de
crease in traffic. All this shows
the necessity of divorce of rail-
road policies from Republican
politics, or both will suffer. The
people are in no mood to endorse
the Republican candidates If they
are to pay the freight, and the
railroad employees will oppose,
even to the point of a gigantic
strike, a reduction of wages while
the cost of living is still high.
1t is difficult to decide the
merits of the controv ersy, hut
however 1t is settled it would
seem to spell disaster to the Re
publicans.

Hard Times.

The thrifty poor are the very
ones who are suffering from the
present financial stringency.
Only few weeks ago Senator
Foraker, in a speech, delivered
the Chamber of Commerce in the
city of Cincinnati, said:
To-day there are $4,000 skilled
artisans out of employment in the
city of Cincinnati" 1t has not
yet been recorded that any of
these unfortunate men have been
put back to work. The suffering
continues and countless thousands
still tramp the streets in vain
search of work.
In the city of Cleveland, where
conditions are similar, the associ-
ated charities have on their hands
for constant support, not less than
5000 people. Last week l, 100
families with an average of five to
the family were being cared for.
The number Of unemployed who
have some means to get along on
will aggregate four times THIS
number.
Hundreds of men are walking
streets of both Cleveland and
Cincinnati today, who, though
suffering, are too proud to ask for
help. The same condition pre-,
