About StenhensOn.

Isaac Stephenson, now United
States senator from Wisconsin, has
had an absorbing ambition to be re-
turned to the senate. He is now nearly
so years of age, and his enemies charge
that since he entered politics in 1853
he has spent $1,500,000 in the effort
to gain political prestige. A Madison
correspondent for the New York World
says: "The senator's political expert
ence has, been costly. Outside of the
two senatorial campaigns, his devotion
to the cause of La Toilette, now his
enemy, is said to have cost him 81.
100000 He told friend three years
ago that he had spent 100000 to keel
a newspaper alive. in La Follette's in
terest. Senator Stephenson is nat

native province he was lumberman,
farmer and banker, and went from
there to Wisconsin at Escanaba, Mich,
with headquarters at Milwaukee. His
political career was begun at Marin
cite, his present home. soon after his
removal there in 1858, and where he
held several locar Offices. The $780,
600 or more that he is said to have
spent in furthering his political inter
ests does not account for any expenses
incurred in launching his craft on the
small waters of Marinette, nor for his
appearance at the state capital, to
which he came in 1866, serving as a
legislator for two years. The more ex-
tensive disbursements began with his
candidacy for congress. For the for
tune he expended he sat in the 4Sth,
49th and 50th congresses, going to the
senate in 1907 to fill out the unexpired
term of Senator Spooner, resigned

but the pirl persisted
"You have a coed voice and a good

some crude ability, but that is all.
You lack the spark of genius. Even
money cannot buy that"
Then you think 1 will never be an
actress?" she asked with quivering
lip. Hartley shock his head, and she
turned away to the window, pressing
her brow to the cool pane. against
which the sleet ratified angrily.
For several minutes she stood thus
looking out into the whirling snow
and hail with unseeing eyes, While
Hartley silently watched her.
He would have given the world to
take her in his arms and comfort her,
but instiuctively he realized that she
must fight her battle alone. She was
the one woman in all the world to
him, and yet he dared not speak.
At last she turned, and now her eyes
were smiling. though her lips still
were drawn ard white.
"Why struggle against unanimous
condemnation? You must be right"
she conceded i Il never SHALL make an
actress. and you said that you never
would marry an actress"

The deadlock" Farce.

Springfield Register: United States
reelected. He ought not to be re-
elected, and there are enough men III
election because they are opposed TO
his kind of machine" manipulation
and corporation politics, and because
they Understandable the one and only
argument in his favor-his plurality OF
the advisory primary vote-is infinite
sinai as compared with the tremen-
dous arguments in Hopkins disfavor.
Then, too, there are enough reasoning
men in the state legislature to recog
nize the fact that Hopkins received
that plurality at the primary not be-
cause a plurality of the republican
voters of the state favored Hopkins,
but because the big federal machine, y
made up of hundreds of job-holders
and office-holding wire-pullers, got out
while the vast majority of the voters
were engrossed with the Deneen-Yates
fight. and managed to push Hopkins
under the primary side-show tent.
1t doesn't follow that because this
mistake was permitted in the name of
the primary law that another worse
mistake must be perpetrated in the
reelection of Hopkins.
This deadlock is a farce. 1t nov
seems certain that it is to be dragged
along until after March 4, when a
vacancy will be declared.
Why so?
Haven't the members of the legisla-
ture enough backbone and stamina sto
refuse to longer be led under the Hop
kins collar only to be delivered after
the big bosses" have perfected a
scheme to deliver" them by effect
ing combinations?
A bunch of the "bosses" had their
heads together in Springfield yester.
day, arranging to do the thinking and
the voting for the state legislature.
The question is: Will the state leg
islation be delivered" or will there be
an individual exercise of brain and
independence?
This deadlock is a farce, and no
faction can be more deservingly held
to blame for it than the Hopkins so
called ''last-ditchers' who cling to the
unpopular candidacy of an undesirabl ?
candidate whom almost the entire
state will rejoice to see defeated.

The Steel Trust and Prices.

Some of the Pittsburg steel mag
mates are complaining that the posi-
bility of lower duties is deterring GUS
toners from buying steel. If that be
true it is one evidence of the unsound-
ness of resting a great business upon
legislation, and especially upon tax
legislation. The tariff law has got to
be revised from time to time, quite If
respective of the efforts of DEMOCRATS
and some of the republicans to secure
lower taxes or a larger revenue. Elk
cept from 1894 to 1897 the republicans
have made all the tariff laws for half
a century. They changed the rates of
1897, although the democratic tariff
had made very moderate reductions in
most of the rates.
But the possibility of lower duties
is not the only influence affecting the
steel market. The trade papers note
that the steel trust is maintaining
prices. but that outside concerns are
seeking business by cutting prices
This is the same situation that exist
ed last spring. The steel trust shut
down its works and threw its employees
into idleness and maintained prices
The state of trade demanded lower
prices. The outside manufacturers
granted them. Buyers held off, as
they do now, believing that the COM
mercial conditions would compel the
trust to reduce, as it finally did. They
are now waiting for the trust to meet
the existing conditions rather than for
a change of duties which is wholly
predetermined and cannot come for
six months.
If the trust had not been formed the
concerns which constitute it would have
competed with each other sufficiently
TO keep most of their men at work and
make prices that would tempt custom
ers in period of dull business. Being
combined to suppress competition, they
pursued an opposite course, which was
a great detriment to business and pro-
longed the depression. The steel trade
is suffering less from the possible re-
duction of needlessly high duties than
from the injurious policy of the steel
trust in seeking to maintain prices at
an artificial level
