grade They adorned every subject they
touched Nh Carlisle was master OF
lucid statement and thorough in all his
work And the others named were men
of force and many resources. No cause
ever had more courageous champions.
But /, is mistake to say that they
failed of writing their policies into leeis-
Iation ONLY because the democratic ma
iority in the Senate of 1Sa3-9J was mar
row that Mr.. German and a few other
survivors of the Randall school of pro-
tectionists were able to dictate the terms
on which tariff measure should pass
that body The Wilson bill as it passed
the House was no fit expression OF the
policies Of those men 1t fell far below
what they had preached to the people and

and his friends in the Senate accepted
without change the work of Mr.. Wilson
and his friends in the HOUSE, it would
still have been in the power of the re-
publicans to show how sadly the demo-
Gratis had fallen down with their job
The fact of the business is that those
old leaders were more intellectual and
eloquent than practical. They ran too
much to theory and fine phrases. They
stirred the people with promises it was
never in their power to keep. At last,
when, after twenty y-odd years of agitation
on the stump and maneuve"ing in Con-
gress, the democratic party found itself in
complete control of the government. it
made the discovery that it had thundered

bankruptcy followedI

keep the children out of mischief and

idleness from their school duties. and the
only question of the people of Washing

has failed in its duty in the premises 10y

The Cry of Economy.

The next mayoralty campaign in New
York. like the next congressional cam
paigns throughout the country, will turn
somewhat on the question of economy.
One of the charges against Tammany is
that it has been wasteful of the public
money. and has had in view less the pub
lie than private interests. This charge is
emphasized by an organization of inde-
pendent voters anxious for Tammany' s
overthrow. and making preparations to
participate in the coming contest.
Speaking on this subject at Cooper
Union Wednesday night, Rabbi Wise,
who has enlisted in the war against Tam
many, declared mot for the lowest, but
all honest budget
There is world of good sense and
good politics in that simple declaration.
There is no cry more taking than that of
economy, and none more abused. After
a season when large appropriations of
public money have been made and
charges of wastefuness widely circulated
it is not difficult to create an alarm and
secure at the polls an order for a radical
reduction of figures.
But that is not necessarily economy.
1t may be the very opposite. 1t may
| enterprises under way are skimped or
halted, or enterprises worthy of inaugu-
ration denied recognition, the public may
lose heavily.
A city like New York. already great.
but in the infancy of opportunities, needs
a liberal public policy. 1t takes money
to make so great mare go. The asess-
ments, of course, should be prudently or
dered, and the expenditures honestly ad-
ministered. but no greater mistake could
be committed by the opponents of Tam
many than to do their sum in small fig
ures, and ask power solely on their abil-
ity to "cut the corners"
The same Is true in the case of the ma
tional government Economy is an adj
mirable thing. but cheeseparing is not
We have a government whose strides in
| the past two decades have been wonder
| full, and whose strides in the coming two
| may be even greater. 1t would be the
poorest of policies to undertake to apply
the figures of twenty years ago to the
conditions and requirements of today. We
have outgrown the period of small things
Our resources are large. our opportunities
are in keeping with them, our purposes
are declared. and we must live up to ou1
place in the world of progress and heavy
obligations.
| On more than one occasion power has
been secured by juggling with the issue
of economy. but never held for long. The
people want an honest but not a mig
gardly administration of their affairs
Or, as Rabbi Wise puts it. mot the
lowest, but an honest budget"

From FL Correo Espano Organ Of the Spanish
Colony in the City OF Mexico.
Assurediy the news of an order for
arms recently placed in Europe for the
equipment of the Cuban army has in
furiated the Yankees. No doubt Ma
goon advised the creation of standing
army in Cuba in the hope that The
United States would be it's providers.
AS the expectation was not realized,
the disappointment of the would-be re-
generators of Cuba is manifest, and they
have resolved to send the arms anyway,
but borne on the shoulders Of their SOL
diers, and afterward to send in the bill
once more to the Cuban people.
1t will be seen that the ambition,
the rapacity and the violence Of the
North Americans know no limits. The
persecution Of Castro scandalized the
world; Panama constitutes a dark page
of human history; the American inter-
vention in Venezuela and the abuses
committed there are past description;
the intrigues In Central America are
likely yet to cause much talk, and the
affairs of Porto Rico and the Philip
pines complete the picture of a policy
which has no equal for ambition. arbi-
trariness, rapacity. fraud and violegce.
This is a huge orgy of filibustefism,
exhibiting itself to the world in an lis
nakedness, and the world will have to
put itself on it's guard against such
Vaccinations.

Spelling "Reform" Dropped.
From the Boston Advertiser.


The discovery by the government print
ing Office that it is done with thru, tho.
thoro," etc, will excite no great attention
because the public has ceased to be in
terested In the attempt to force this sort
of spelling reform upon an unwilling peo-
pie. At the time that the government
printing Office was saddled with this
change it was generally felt that a blum
der had been made, though credit was
given for excellent intentions. Perhaps,
now that the government printing office
has returned to the tortuouS but beloved
path of English as she is spelled, 1t is
just as well that the excursion was made.
It cannot be claimed that the new spell
ers did not have a generous official trial.

For Beautifying Paris, $135, 900, 900
| From the PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER

The little Philadelphians who cry that
the city is being ruined every time some
large plan of civic Improvement is pro-
posed may be interested and possibly

Wants Rucksport Branch

Although every effort has been made to
keep it quiet, it has become known that
President John r. Graham, of the Bangor
Railway d Electric Co., is very anxious
to lease the Bucksport branch of the
Maine Central. He made the proposition
about month ago, and it was brought up
at the April meeting of the Maine Central
directors, which Mr.. Graham attended.
The matter has been taken under con-
sideration, and will be reported upon at
the May meeting.
1t is understood that the Bucksport
branch as it is now operated is just about
holding its own. President Graham be-
lieves that with an electric system, and
with service every hour between Bangor
and Bucksport, the road could be made to
pay a most satisfactory rate of interest on
the investment. besides giving vastly bet
ter service than is now afforded.
The rolling stock would be the same o.
is now used between Winslow and Lewis
ton, on the longest and fastest electric
run in the State. Passengers, mail, ex-
press and freight would be carried.
Incidentally it would give the Bangor
Railway & Electric Co. its opportunity tc
cross the river into Brewer, an opportun-
ity which the directors have been endeav-
oring to locate for long time.
