the absolute domination of the speak
er, who has entire control of it's de-
alterations and powers of legislation.
We have observed with amaze
|ment the popular branch of our fed
eral government helpless to obtain
of measures desired by a majority
of it's members.
Legislative government becomes a
failure when one member, in the per.
son of the speaker, is more powerful
than the entire body.
We demaDd that h house Of rep
resentative6 shall again become a de
Lucrative body, controlled by a ma
jority of the peoples representatives
and not by the speaker, n we
pledge ourselves to adopt such rules
and regulations to govern the house
of representatives as will enable a
majority of its members to direct its
deliberations and control legislation.
Misuse Of Patronage.
We condemn, as a violation of the
spirit Of our institutions. the action
OF the present chief executive in us
ing the patronage of his high office
to secure the nomination of one of
his cabinet officers. A forced success
sion in the party is scarcely less re-
pugnant to public sentiment than is
life tenure In that Office. No virtue In
the one selected can justify the estab-
lishment of a dynasty. The right OF
the people freely to select their Off
cials is i~nalienable and cannot be del
egated.
Publicity Of Campaign Contributions.
We demand federal legislation for
ever terminating the partnership
which has existed between corpora
tions OF the country and the Republi-
can party, under the expressed or
implied agreement that in return for
the contribution OF great sums OF
money herewith to purchase elections

that in the face of this shocking rec
ord the Republican platform contains
no reference to economical admins

ture. We demand that a stop be put
to this frightful extravaganza and
insist upon the strictest economy in
every department compatible with
frugal and efficient administration.
Arbitrary Power of Speaker.
The house of representatives was
designed by the fathers of the con-
stitution to be the popular branch OF
our government responsive to the
public will.
The. house OF representatives, as
controlled in recen years. by the Re-
publican party, has ceased to be a
deIiberative and legislative body, res
ponsible to the will of the majority
of its members, but has come under

cratic position on this question; but
the people cannot safely entrust the
execution of this important work to
a party so deeply obligated to the
highly protected interests as is the
Republican party. We call attention
TIC the significant fact that the prom
ised relief was postponed until after
the coming election-an election to
succeed in which the Republican par
ty must hav had thai same support
from the beneficiaries of the high pro-
tective tariff as it has always here
tofore received from them; and to
the further act hat during years of
uninterrupted power no action what
yer has been taken by the Republi-
can congress to correct the admitted
ly existing tarin iniquities.
We favor immediate revision of the
tariff by the reduction of import du-
ties. Articles entering into competi-
ton with trust controlled products
should be placed upon the free list;
and material reductions should be
be made in the tariff upon the neces-
stiles of life, especially upon articles
competing with such American manu-
features as are sold abroad more
cheaply han at home; and gradual
reductions should be made in such
other schedules as may be necessary
to restore the tariff to a revenue
basis.
Existing duties have given to the
manufacturers of paper a shelter be-
hind which they have organized COM
binations to raise the price of pulp
and of paper, thus imposing a tax up
on the spread of knowledge.
We demand the immediate repeal
of the tariff on wood pulp, print pa
per, lumber, timber and logs and that
these articles be placed upon the
free list.

exceeding the total expenditures OF
the past fiscal year by 500, 900, 600

denounce the needless waste of the

WASHINGTON, Feb. l2,-Comp-
troller OF the Currency Ridgley today
replied to the criticism of former dep
uty Comptroller Coffin, who stated in
an article published Sunday, that the
national banks were daily violating the
laws which prohibit loaning more
than 10 per cent OF their capital and
unimpaired surplus, to any one per-
son and which prohibits over-certih-
cation. Ridgley says that Collins
charges are really made without any
knowledge OF the facts and are inten-
tionally false, Whatever may have
been policy during Coffin's regime,
Ridgley states that since he came into
Office there had been every effort to
enforce the law. Ridgley says that
the law regarding over certihcation Is
rigidly enforced regardless of the let
ters OF coffin "0r any other scandal
monger," Ridgley declares that the
proposition that officers OF the leading
banks in New York city are so fool.
hardy as to daily violate the law and
render themselves liable to imprison'
ment as criminals is too obsurd fol
serious belief.

PORTLAND, Feb. II. - John G
Wetle, an employee Of the city engi.

night while endeavoring to perpetrat.
a stupid joke on Policeman F. D

Of the police department and. was ;
friend Of Wetle. Both lived at Fulton
suburb Of Portland.
This evening, while Hepner was Oh
his way to work, he was recognized
by Wetle, who thought it would be
smart to hold up the new recruit.
Wetle had hid behind a clump Of
bushes and as Hepner came along he
stepped in front OF him pointing his
pipe at the policeman and ordered
Hands up"
Hepner did not recognize his friend
nor did he take time to find out that
ii was a pipe instead OF revolver
which was threatening him. He pulled
his gun and shot Wetle dead. Hepner
surrendered himself. Public senti-
ment justihes Hepner in his actions
as the city for several weeks has
been overrun with hpld-up men and

Railroads and Lumbermen Agree
to a Compromise.
HAUL LUMBER AT OLD RATE
Under This Agreement the Railroads
Hope to Stimulate Lumber Ship

sented to Judge Hanford Soon.

SEATTLE, Feb. l2.-At confer
ence held here this afternoon between
attorneys Of the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific and the North
west lumbermen and business inter
ests tentative compromise Of the old
rate question was reached by the
railroads offering to haul lumber at
the old rates leaving it optional with
the carriers whether or not shippers
be required to put up bonds to guar
antee the payment Of the new rate in
case the railroads secure favorable
decision from the interstate commerce
commission. Under this agreement
the railroads hope to stimulate lumber
shipments and the lumber and shingle
manufacturers gain a point in not be-
ing absolutely obliged to put up
bonds to guarantee the payment of
the new rate. The entire matter will
be presented to Federal Judge Han
ford as soon as the necessary details
can be agreed upon.

NEW YORK, Feb. l2.-More than
5000 buyers and business men from
all over the country are now in New
York with orders for goods OF every
variety for the spring and summer
trade. The great influx OF buyers
was expected by the jobbing houses
here and is said by merchants to be
IN evidence OF the return of conf
dence throughout the country. The
general financial depression last fall
and the consequent small amount OF
buying at that time has left merchants
throughout the country short in their
stocks and for that reason the buyers
are coming to New York earlier
than usual.
Every hotel in New York that
caters to the commercial trade is
crowded and New York merchants
are in joyous mood at the prospect
OF an enormous spring trade.
Mr.. S. c. Mead, secretary Of the
Merchants Association, said last
night:
Monday was what we call our first
registration for the spring trade and
it proved to be next to the largest
registration day we have experienced
in 10 years. That is TO say there was
only one other day like it in 10 years
so you can imagine what JOY it
brought to business men about town.
Today as second registration day is
The largest second registration we
ever had. BY that ] mean in num-
numbers of ont Of town buyers
and out OF town merchants. Today
they kept pouring in and telling us
OF the bright outlook for the spring
trade. They had to come, as their
stock had run low,
Some Of the big western houses
have sold out almost all Of the goods
they had and this means great era
OF prosperity. 1t means that at least
5000 out Of town merchants and their
representatives will buy goods here
for the spring trade. Now the most
experienced merchants in town will
average from each buyer about $l0,
900.
This practically means that with the
ordinary trade, $S0,0O0,00 will BE-
spent in the New York by the buyers
| for one spring trade,
"The most peculiar thing about this
is shown by the arrivals yesterday anc
today is that new business concerns
have cropped up in the west and hav'
sent representatives here to buy They
represent the biggest firms in th'
west and from Chicago to Oklahom'
