1t Is Very Different Now.
lMAII and B eez !


The Democrats will haye an over
wheimlng ms jority in the next
lower house of congress. Champ
Clark wants to be speaker and
probably will be. When the in
sutee1's Were making the fight on
the rules and incidentally putting
the gaft into Uncle Joseph, Champ
and his crowd were strong fot
liberty. They insisted on taking
the appointment of the congressional
committees out of the hands Of the
speaker entirely.
Now the case is different.
Champ doesn't want to get just an
empty honor. He wants to have
the power of naming the 'ario's
committees instead Of just sitting
Up on the speakers platform and
jociding poiuts Of order and puting
motions. The fact is that now that
/ c is TO be speaker, OF thinks he
VIII be, he wants just as much
power as Utcle Joe had.
This is as l expected. The h.hl
on Cannonsm was right when it
was made and is right now, but
Champ CLARK is no more of re-
tolmeu so far as he is concerned
than Un lie Joe, Neither is the
majority Of the Democratic parry
J bit more pure and undehled ths II
Sas the majority of Republicans
who stayed by Joseph and pandered
o his lust for power. If there is
anv deluded mortal who has the
Impression that the Democratic
party is going to bring on a
political millennium he has another
,hlnk coming.
However, the fight against
Cannonism will have good effect,
No matter how much Champ and
nis crowd may want to run things
with a high hand and no matted
now much they may want TO divide
he political raiment and pIovendeE
aud other things among them they
] won't dare to do it, for if thev do
they know that the people won't do
a thing 10 them at the next general

The Living Cost Greater In
England.

London, December 8 Ii those
misguided Americans who have
been blaming the tariff for the high
cost of living and campaigning
against 1t c uld come 10 England
inst now they would have their eyes
opened, for they would find that the
people in this country are hiamlng
the free-trade system for the same
thing, and certainly the argument IN
favor of the position adopted by
these Englishmen seems very strong
1t is. put in the, briefest possible
possible form, that England is
dependent on imports from foreign
lands for her food, and is at the
mercy of all sorts of comolna''ohS
of foreigners who are free to put up
n,ices TO suit themselves and are
no, amenable to English laws winch
mieht regulate trusts or compina-
rous. EDelish farmers cant aiforo
to crow wheat and raise cattle
because they are not protected. Inc
foreigners with free access 10 'hei'
market have driven the home
nroducers out and are now reaplnG
the harvest.
Whichever argument is the cor
r, ct one is a matter for the political
economists to settle, but certain Ii

The War Scare.

This talk about war with foreign
countries comes too near appropria'
ton time to produce much or a
sensation among the thinking people
of this country.
There is no nation or set OF
natiors on earth that pines for a
war with the U. S. The Old World
nations have all they can do to
defend themselves from one another
let alone engaging in war with the
United States. Some of these
terrorists talk of foreign country
landing an army of 200, 900 men
with their equipments on the saclhc
coast some dark night and taking
complete possession of that country
as though it were no more OF an
undertaking than for a gang of boys
to gather up and rald FARMER
water melon patch.
1t is somewhat of an undertaking
for foreign country to gather up,
equip and provision and transport
four or five thousand miles an army

Wonder what this country would
be dong while all this was going on
Still we think our government Il
very negligent if it does not do

the principal ports of the Pacific
and on the Hiwaian Islands.
We see no reason for any big
scareheads, however.
We are a peaceable and peace
loving nation and propose to trea

not likely to become involved in
war with any of them. Should we

MIR. Wilder's Frankness.
kansas City Journal.)

Mr.. w. w. Wilder, state beer
Inspector, may be and doubtless is
a competent Inspector of the pro-
duct that ST Louis saved in the
campaign this fall, but as politl-
clan he evidently lacks discretion.
According to report that comes
from the wilds of Montgomery, Mo. +,
Mr.. Wilder has sent his deputy, Mr..
Charles E. Gill, Christmas presen
that would turn most men pale about
the gills. 1t runs as follows: This

ton, way back in the dim and misty
past whence the memory of hungry
PIE hunters runncnth not to the

generations of Democratic rule ano

governor. Such a record lmplie!

1t is a matter of record that tht

BANK STOCKS ON STOCK ExcHAN

Advancing TO q Per Cent.

Transactions in yesterdays stock
market were light in volume in COM
parison with the totals of recent days,
and as a rule speculative movements
represented little beyond the operations
of the professional element. Commits
sion houses had few orders on either
side Of the account The so-called sub
stantial interests We're not factors in
the dealings, and while an advance in
prices in the late trading was thought
IN some circles to represent buying by
PEOPLE identified with banking houses
the general character of the purchases
did not suggest to careful market fol-
lowers activity on the part OF the lead
ing men in the Street. Opening prices
were under Saturdays closing. and in
the forenoon operations the general list
moved toward lower level under the
influence Of selling by the professional
element, while in the afternoon cover
ing of shorts was responsible for re-
coveries in the larger number of issues,
final quotations showing mixed changes,

unchanged from last weeks closing;
Amalgamated, Canadian Pacific and the

start to finish was dull and uninterest-
ing, the movements suggesting increas-
ing hesitancy, both on the part of COM
inf nd
traders to make extended commitments
on either side Of the speculative ac-
count. Hesitancy in entering new en-
gagements for the rise is not surprising
in view Of monetary conditions. Call
funds were put out as high "a { per

The local banks continue TO lose cas1

rates before the end Of the year are
promising enough TO attract attention
IL speculative circles where recently it
was asserted that the supply Of money
at this centre was ample for the f1nan-
cling Of a sustained bull stock market.
Many conservative operators are dis
posing Of their speculative lines at pre-
vailing prices, which show handsome
profits on the original purchase, and
while sales Of this sort DO not repre-
sent belief that stocks will not
eventually sell at higher levels they do
reflect the expectation Of lower figures
in the immediate future. The demand
throughout the country for money in
cident to mercantile operations is in
creasing, the inquiry for funds against

serves in New York are low and ster-

House banks are heavily in excess Of

heavy return movement OF currency
from the interior in November and De
