MENT

Why have the republicans sud-
denly developed symptoms of econ
omy, this particular year reducing
their estimates after having regu-
larry increased their expenditures
every year for sixteen years?
The answer is that the republi-
can department heads knew ex-
travagant estimates could not pass
the scrutiny of the democratic house
Notwithstanding their admission
that they will be able to get along
for twenty-one millions less, there
has been no marked complaint from
the republican officials that they
will be stinted or hampered in their
work, The democratic leaders made
it plain at the start that the neces-
sary expenses of the government
were to be met as usual, but that
all unnecessary items would have
to be cut out.

ISOLATION.

The Record is very sorry to learn
that there were only half n dozer
southeast Missouri editors at Cape
Girardeau, on the 4th inst, where i
was proposed , reorganize our Pres:
association. We do not believe that
southeast Missouri newspaper mel
are Indifferent on the reorganization
and attribute the small attendanc,
TO the short notice given Of the meet
ing and to the further fact that the
day, Mon lay, was too early in the
week for the convenience Of the cd
itorS
The Record believes that the AS
sociation should bc revived, and that
the editors will gladly join ii when
ever il is shown TO be permanently
established. Somebody must take
the initiative, and We venture TO ask
the newspaper men Of this part Of
the state TO express their opinion OF
the matter, suggesting the place Of
meeting and the day Of the week for
assembling. Lel'S know the will Of
the editors OF the Subject.-New

THE Pass.
The Aldrich currency system is
near enough to be taken seriously
by the country. The Aldrich None
tary commission is holding daily
sessions. Banks favorable to the
scheme are bringing what pressure
they can on the members Of both
parties u Ct them to view the
Allrich idea iavOrably. A million
dollar fund is being raised to finance
a campaign in support of the prop
oSition.
Ex-senator Aldrich processes to
believe that he will be abe TO rush
a bill inaugurating the Central Re-
serve association" through at this
session of congress. The fact his
ia is look upon with diSfavor
and alarm by the small bankers and
the people Of the country does not
discourage him. He has passed
joker-laden tariff bills for the trusts
in the past in the very teeth of the
opposition of the entire country
Apparently he thinks he can do the
same thing with the currency plan,
which he feels would be a fitting
browning glory to his achievements
as a statesman. But he may be dis
appointed, as he is reckoning with
out the progressive democrats and
