his story and so intense his apparent
interest in discovering the real cul- |
prit that interest ceased to centre in /
him. Much work was done on the .
theory that the crime had been per
petrated by a colored man. Mean
while Fitzgerald was discharged from
the government employ for culpable
negligence in allowing such a theft to
be consummated under his very eyes. }
The theft created a sensation
throughout the country and congress
at the last session was asked and re-
fused to release Assistant Treasurer .

Measures Left Over.

Among the measures left for further
consideration at the next session of
congress are some of the most spec
tacular propositions of the session.
some policies urged by the president
and others advocated vociferously in
the public prints, many, perhaps. of
hardly equal importance to measures
which have been enacted without at
tracting extensive popular attention.
But intelligent examination of these
policies and proposed laws reveals the
fact that they are replete with diff
culties and that only that prudent de-
liberation which has ever characterized
the legislative work of the Republican
party can insure the success of such
policies when finally enacted and avert
the pitfalls offered by hasty or incon-
siderate action. Much time and thought
have been devoted at this session to
every important subject which failed
OF action, time and thought which must
ultimately result in wise legislation
free from those errors of policy and
inaccuracies OF statutory expression
which are the inevitable concomitants
OF hasty consideration of important
and intricate legislative problems. -

FRANCIS CURTIS WORK.
Splendid Success Of the Head of Re.
publican Literary Bureau.

Splendid Success of the Head of Re-
publican Literary Bureau.
Leslie's Weekly has this to say of
Francis Curtis, formerly of Spring
field, now director of the Republican
literary bureau at Washington:
For nearly quarter of a century
Republican leaders have considered
the matter Of permanent bureau
which should carry on literary prop
aganda before and after as well as
during presidential campaigns. All
attempts, however, to establish and
till at the close of the last congress
sional campaign an arrangement was
made by Chairman Sherman and Sec
retary Loudenslager with Francis Cur
tbs to inaugurate and maintain a per-
manent Republican literary bureau.
This bureau, located at Washington. is
complete success and has more than
fulfilled the expectations of the con-
gressional committee.
Perhaps there is no man in the coun-
try better equipped by experience and
knowledge to be In charge of such
bureau than Mr.. Curtis. He has work
ed with national and congressional
committees for twenty years, is the
author of the only complete history of
the Republican party ever written, has
exhaustively written on the tariff ques-
ton and has rare collection of books
and pamphlets on every phase of Re
publican legislation. While a large
part of Mr.. Curtis work is not of a
public nature. still 1t is the most legit-
innate and effective of all methods of
campaigning and the party and COM
mittee are to be congratulated upon
the success of the bureau and its d.
rector.

Only Trusts Would Survive.

Let all grasp the most important
fact, that 1t is not the tariff which
gives the great corporation its profits
so much as 1t is magnitude of opera
ton and skillful conduct. The small
est concern under least competent
management makes So n ton profit; the
larger under better management makes
81 ton: the great combination of
capital. skill and highest business man
agement makes S10-and all under the
same tariff protection. The trust only
could survive sharp tariff reduction.
II would send every little producer to
the wall.
Lower the tariff and freeze out all
the competitors of the steel trust and
then you have n monopoly" All the
competition there will be then must

ALL RECORDS SMASHED.
High Water Mark Reached In Export,
of Our Merchandise.

The tide OF this country's sales of
merchandise to foreign lands has this
year swept away all former high wa
ter marks. In eight months. up TO May
l. the excess of exports over imports
has reached the stupendous total of
S520.OOO.O0O.
These figures beat by S122, ,OOO,0 900

English free traders in trying TO ex-
plain away Americas rapidly rising

distress obliged us to sell products in
Europe that the people at home could
not consume. This is feeble argu-
ment. The truth is that the old world
