AMAZING BLAcKNEss OF THE POT

When the republican pot is arraigned for its most uncommon blackness, it is the habit of its defenders to point to the smut on the democratic kettle
 The republican party has it's Cannons and Aldriches and Cranes and Burrowses and Shoots, and the democratic party has it's Fitz- geralds and Baileys. Some of the democratic statesmen admittedly have been serviceable to the Aldrich-C Cannon Morgan organization of the republican party and to the things it represents
 The chief trouble about this sort of pot and kettle argument is that it serves to call atten- tion to a condition that the democrats, if they wish might make much capital out of This is the condition:
 When republican statesman wishes to be right, he has to insurge
 When democratic statesman insurges, it is when he wishes to be wrong.
 Republican insurgents are the leaven of de cency and patriotism which the republican par ty is striving desperately to eliminate.
 Democratic insurgents are the taint of un- party should be able to purge itself without part yshould be able to purge itself without great difficulty.
 It is the difference, of course, between the "ins' and the "outs.'
 The Gins" draw every parasite every greedy interest, every sycophant of special privilege; and the republican party has come absolutely into the control of these noisome elements of society. The Gin" party, in course of time, in- evitably becomes corrupted and debased by the influences its prosperity attracts.
 The "outs," on the other hand, offer little en- couragement to the forces of corruption. While the Gins" are being corrupted by power, the "outs" are being purified by political poverty. Thus the one is ripened for defeat and the oth- CT strengthened for victory.

THE UPPER BERTH

There never was any reason why the Pullman company should charge the same price for an upper berth as it does for lower except that it has a monopoly and could get the money.
 There never was any reason, either, why the Pullman company should pay enormous cash dividends and then double its capitalization by stock dividends every little while, except that it has a monopoly and could get the money.
 The interests of the public never have been considered anywhere, except by an occasional traveller who emitted harsh growl when he was forced to climb into an upper berth and to pay too much for being made distressingy un- comfortable
 The interstate commerce commission, after many years, has ruled that it is 'unj just and un- reasonable' for the: Pullman company to charge the same price for upper berths as it charges for lower berths, and it also holds that its rates are too high.
 The public is long-suffering, but one cannot help wondering what it would have done had the hotels of the country adopted the practice of putting hunks in their rooms, and charging full price for sleeping in them, the same for up

A RETRIEVE FOR THE TRUSTS

Because the death of Justice Brewer left the supreme court about equally divided on the cases involving the oil and tobacco trusts 1t has been announced that it will be necessary to ar que the cases all over again after a successor to the dead justice is appointed.
 Apparently the stock market is the interest chiefly concerned in this unexpected outcome of the former hearing. For weeks the impending decisions have been hanging over the market, and those who sell stocks they do not possess, expecting to buy them in for delivery at lower prices have been having the time of their lives pounding down the market. This method of speculation is so purely gambling operation that few tears will be shed if the upturn conse- quent on the reprieve squeezes the life out of every bear in the market.
 Public interest in these cases, however, is small The belief that the proper thing to do is to "bust the trusts" ism t certain of itself as it used to be. Speculation as to what is to be done with these large industries if the trusts are "busted" is somewhat confusing, and the prospects of public gain from such course have by no means been made clear. Besides, the courts have already ''busted' paper trust without affecting it's power. Again, the supreme court "busted" railroad merger by its deci- sion in the Northern Securities case without, ap- parenty, disturbing in the slightest degree the effectiveness of the merger.
 The chief gain to be hoped for from these de- cisions is statement of the standing of large corporations in the light of the Sherman anti trust law Probably the worst outcome, from corporation viewpoint, will be the outlawng of the convenient holding company device; and trust lawyers will easily contrive a new method of maintaining control of large business enter prises. Indeed, in all probability the new device already is invented

m The Halls of Congress
Special Washingtop Correspondence
BY TAV.

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 19-That an attempt was made by interior department off, cials to bring about the indictment of Louis R. began, was brought out in the testimony of Field Agent Christensen, who was a witness before the Investigating committee.
 The charge on which Glavis' enemies hoped to bring about his indictment and conviction was that he had withheld certain letters bearing upon the Ballinger case for the purpose of mak- ing it appear that Ballinger had made away with them. The papers were found in an old box containing some of Glavis' personal effects in the Federal building at Seattle by Land Agent Christensen and Glavis declares they were put there by some of Ballinger's agents
 However this may have been the department officers here were urging the prosecution of Glavis and such prosecution was only prevented by United States District Attorney Todd of Se- atte, who declared the evidence against GIavis was insufficient to warrant its presentation to the grand jury.
 GIavis was completely exonerated in the course of the oss-examinaton of Christensen. The latter admitted that after finding the pa pers and after having declared to the depart
 
 that the box itself had not been packed by Glavis at all, but by another man, who gathered up such of Glavis' effects as were left scattered about a vacant room in the Federal building and threw them into the box in question merely to permit their removal to a storage room.
 Glavis never saw the box, never had access to it, and therefore never had an opportunity to place any government documents in it.
 Glavis, it should be recalled is the young man who, while special agent of the land office, prevented land and coal thieves from getting possession of valuable lands in Alaska. In all it is estimated that he saved some 63,000000 long tons of coal to the government. When in the midst of. investigation of cases in which men with strong political pulls were interested, Glavis received instructions to abandon further Investigations Believing that if he did so, there was danger of government land falling into the hands of dishonest and illegal claim ants, Glavis appealed to the department of jus tice. He was arbitrarily, summariy, and with out hearing, dismissed from the service.

THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

What could be more pathetic than this spec tacle of the republican party-the party of Lin coin, Grant and McKiney-waiting with ill- concealed apprehension for the coming of Theo- dore Roosevelt and the Day of Judgment? asks the New York World
 Waiting for him to divide the sheep from the goats-waiting for him to judge the quick and the dead-waiting for him to say whether it has fought the good fght-waiting for him to say whether it has kept faith-waitng for him to say whether it has finished its course-it is prostrate before him like the mandarins before the Son of Heaven
 But when Omniscience has come, and when Infalibility has judged, what then?
 Suppose the decision is in favor of Mir. Taft and the tariff. Will the storm of protest be stilled? Will the waves of popular discontent subsde? Will the country stop clamoring about the cost of living, and weep tears of gratitude for half a loaf? Will labor joyfuly accept it's wage exulting that it is permitted to earn it's bread in the sweat of its face? Will Aldrichism and Cannonism be sanctifed and Ballinger hail ed as the great conservator? Will reactionary and insurgent alike find peace that passeth all understanding
 Or suppose the decision is against N[r. Taft Will the president meekly confess that he is only proxy, and an incompetent proxy at that? Will he be contented to go down in history as polit- ical understudy, sub-tenant in the White House who did not wait for dispossess proceed ings9 Will the administration kiss the hand that smites it, and bless the foot that kicks it into obliviong Will MacVeagh return cheerful ly to the wholesale grocery, and will Knox, Wickersham, Dickinson and Nagel gracefully resume the gentle art of corporation law, while Wall street gets ready to make its regular cam paign contribution to the cause of the just man armed!
 Whatever the decision, there must inevitably be anguish and disappointment and heart burn ing; for even Infallibiity cannot bring ecstasy to everybody, and millions of republicans seem doomed to suffer in silence There can be no protest of course; no appeal. He IS the court of last resort. He is the ultimate judge Re publicanism has bowed its neck to the yoke and is waiting in breathless suspense for his verdict.
 We recall no other such awe-inspiring spec tacle since political organizations were institut- ed under free government. When Tom Reed died was there nobody left in the republican party with a sense of humor?

''The higher the price of living the tighter people will hold on to what money they have,' asserts the Bisbee Review in explaining the gen eral business depression. Personal experience had led us to believe that high living prices would separate man from his money quicker than anything else.
