and consequently, his ideals may have
changed.
~ If Mr.. Howard disapproves Of any
features of the Aldrich Bill, he took good
about it. In his own paper he published
sweeping Endorsement of that infamous
measure. Since he now says that some of the
schedules meet his dlsapproval, will he please
tell us what schedules those are? Will he
please specify what changes he would make
in the Aldrich bill?
BY what authority does Mr. Howard say
that the wool schedule will be changed? Has
the mighty combination of wool growers and
wool manufacturers told him to say that?
Shall the people place confidence in the
promise of such an insignificant person as
Howard so soon after they have seen Mr..
Taft compelled to break his promise for re-
vision downward? If the monarchs of Spe-
break his word, would they ask any odds of
Howard?
And again I ask him to explain to his peo-
pie how he could have the heart to appear
before Republican convention and give his
unqualified endorsement to bill which levies
q tax Of 81 per cent. upon the rich mans
champagne and of $50 per cent. upon the
poor mans overcoat-a bill which puts twice
as much tax upon the common mans wool hat
as upon the silk tiles worn by the wealthy.
AS to the statement that the poor man can
purchase more blankets with the present price
of his labor or his products than he could in
1898 or 9, the statement is simply false.

any tariff bill, even though it bore the name

however low the schedules may be, is simply

thorizing them to plumber everybody else who
has to buy in the home market.
(3) The Omaha Platform was not the
first adopted by the Peoples Party. Poor
Mr.. Howard's memory seems to be failing
him dismally The first Peoples Party Plat
form was adopted in St. Louis in 1891. In
the main, it followed the Ocala Platform of
the Farmers Alliance in 1885, In the Ocala
PLATFORM demand was made that the neces-
saries of life, which the poor man must have
to live, should be put on the free list With
out exception, every subsequent platform has
reaffirmed those which went before. There
fore it is true that Populism has always stood
for untaxed necessaries of life.
a. No, it isn't true. On the contrary,
every platform upon which [ have ever run
for any office, contained a reaffrmation reach
ing back to the old Ocala Platform. In every
one of my speeches, the tariff has been fercely
denounced as an Internal system of robbing
the many in the interests of the few.
(5.) I fully agree with Champ Clark. In
theory, he is absolutely right; but also agree
with Mr.. Henry, of Texas, that, so far as this
generation is concerned, absolute free trade is
a dream. The doctrine has become so inter-
woven in the warp and wool of American life,
that it can only by slow degrees be extracted,
without destruction to the web.

EDITORIAL NOTES

u " N j IA ~ N " i
BY j. d. WATSON
ANOTHER stand-pat Republican has been
defeated for denomination by an Insurgent,
Hon. Jas. A. Tawney, of Minnesota.
Mr.. Tawney was Chairman of the Appro-
priations Committee and while the commit
tee recommended outrageous expenditures,
Tawney was SO much to blame as would be
expected
He strongly opposed the big army and navy
appropriation and pointed out where it would
finally lead to.
But it happened that he was strong friend
, OF Cannons, and he voted for the Payne
Aldich tariff bill.
The tariff vote and support of Cannon did
the work, and the the Insurgent ranks num-
Der one more.
It shows plainly how much the people are
down on the tariff and Cannonism when they
defeat one of the ablest men in Congress be-
cause he endorses them
Mr.. TAFT is still on the run, with the enemy
at his heels. Realizing that the record of Con-
gress, in which he concurred, is more than
apt to defeat his party in November, he is
making desperate efforts to undo what he has
DONE
His latest is to declare that there will be no
more opening Of the "pork barrel" while he
is President
That part is all right, but Mr.. Taft waited
too long.
He should have vetoed the last River and
Harbor appropriation bill, just as he should
have vetoed the tariff bill.
Then, if he had kicked out Ballinger, and
fired his brothers law partner, Wickersham,
his skirts would now be clean, and his party's
chances of victory good.
Mayor Gaynor, of New York City, and w.
R. Hearst, are having lively tilt
Mr.. Gaynor charges Hearst with being re-
sponsible for the attempt to assassinate the
mayor, and responsible for the assassination
of the late President Mckinley.
Mr.. Gaynor is not the only person who be-
lives the charges true, and when Hearst, or
"Willie," as he is sometimes called, cables
even in print, one feels like taking dose of
soda to stave off an old fashioned case of
nausea.
THE Grand Army of the Republic deserves
credit for failing to endorse the proposed pen
sion of one dollar per day to every Union
Veteran for the remainder of his life
Such a law would increase the already enor-
nous pension list many millions more
With this proposed increase added to what
wars in the past cost, and those that we are
preparing for in the future, we would be one
step nearer bankruptcy

Trains in Many Sections.
Yesterday it required 500 trains on the
New York Central and the New York
and New Haven roads to bring in this
crowd. Some of these trains ran in
seven and eight sections. with twelve
coaches TO a section. Ghere were en-
tire trains devoted to transporting bag

There were fourteen sections in this

looked cross enough to bite a tenpenny

It was marvellous how the big city
swallowed them up Into street cars and
taxis they piled and disappeared. So you
would hardly know there was anything
unusual going on.
All the uptown hotels are jammed with
people. resting up for a day or SO. before

ways.

A reduction Of several millions OF dol
lars in the total appropriations for the
military establishments. including river
and harbor expenditures, as compared
with the estimates OF last year, has been
determined upon finally by the War De-
partment.
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood laid the flnal
draft Of the estimates before President
Taft at Beverly last week Gen. Wood.
who returned to Washington today. stat
ed that the President had approved the
prepared estimates with few changes and
that they are now ready for submission
to Congress through the Secretary Of
the Treasury.
Permanent Buildings in Philippines.
One feature Of the estimates calls for
the construction of permanent buildings
in the Philippines for the use of troops.
rather than temporary structures. such
as have been the rule in the past.
The construction of fortifications along
the Panama canal Is to be done by the
same engineering organization that is
now building the canal itself. Such a de-
cision was reached by President Taft
and Maj. Gen. Wood at the Beverly con-
ference.
LII COiHHlcUIluk on tHlS OcClSlOu tOO6y,
Gen. Wood said that II was desired to
avoid a duplicate organization of engi-
neers of the same class working In the
same territory. By allowing the canal
forces to construct the Notifications there
will be avoided any conflict of authority
which would be likely to arise. inasmuch
as the fortifications are to be erected on
the very ground now used for side tracks
and other purposes in digging the canal
The additional work required Of the
Tcfh mi In ho
struction Of the fortifications will be COM
paratively slight The total appropria-
tion for the fertilization will be less than
SIS. .OOO, ,OOO, while that for the canal prop
er will be more than twenty times as
much.
Army to Be Kept Up to Minimum.
Another matter Of military policy de-
termined upon at the conference between
President Taft and Gen. Wood was the
maintenance OF the army at its author
lied minimum strength Of $1,000 men, in
cluding all arms and departments It
was formerly maintained at that figure,
but from various causes 1t was reduced
to its present strength Of 5000
The appropriations for the current fiscal
year are based on that strength. 1t IL
felt that the efficiency Of the service is
necessarily impaired by the fact that
several branches, including the line, are
below their proper authorized quota The
reduction was achieved by expirations Of
enlistments, discharges. ETC.. and the
practical discontinuance Of recruiting.
1t is now felt that the interests of the
army as an organization require the fill
ing Of existing vacancies, and the estf-
mates for the next fiscal year are based
on that ground. The additional 5000
way by recruitment, and the cavalry.
artillery and infantry organizations in
creased to the required minimum
strength.
1t is stated that this action is taken
solely in the interests Of good military
administration and without any thought
Of international trouble. immediate or
prospective.

For the first time in six years the
books of the District of Columbia in
dicate decrease in the public debt. the
figures showing by far the greatest de-
crease ever recorded.
Alonzo Tweedale, auditor, prepared to-
day a portion of his annual report, show
ing that instead of adding to the millions
already owed by the District, an actual
reduction Of 81. $40 2S6.O5 will be recorded.
The District now owes $12. .766. 37s. .9S
This time a year ago It owed 4.106.-
5O3.
According to Mr.. Tweedale. this saw
ing has been effected because Of the
Reductions In 1903 and 1904.
The last time the books showed a re-
duction in the public debt was June so
1904. when the debt was reduced by
$3.50, 600. and the year previously the debt
was reduced $4,000. Looking over the
books for the last ten years. it is seen
that with those two exceptions. the
public debt has been rising at the rate
of from S1OO,OUO to $1,000 every year
The Districts income last year was S12,-
S31, ,639.26. OF this amount S6,-97 ,02y. 81

The cash collections, on account OF sew
eral trust and special funds. were large
this last year, the amount being $l,17y.-

of the Districts income. such as police
and firemen's pension fund money, de-
Iosits on account of special work DONE
deposits by corporations, plumbers de-
posits, etc.
