Republican Party Looses Sight Of

The following note OF warning com
ing as 1t does from the Lawrence
(Kansas) Gazette, one Of the leading
Republican dailies OF the state, bears
note OF warning that Is we'll worthy
OF consideration BY the Democrats as
we'll as the Republicans at whom it Is
aimed:
Again the Gazette desires TO call She
attention Of Republicans 10 the fact
thai they have Lost sight OF the com
mon enemy, democracy, and are sx-
pending ell their energies fighting
each other. 1t is seldom now that anv
thought is taken OF ways and means
TO prevent tae accession to power OF
the Democratic party; the whole
strength and power aud industry OF
Republicans is employed In an effort
to defeat the other faction, and to
bring its leaders into diSrepute. No
one seems to consider the evident fact
that il this fight is kept up a nomina-
tion on the republican sicket will be
worthless, for no matter who is named
he will be defeated. There was a time
when all this unseemly strife was left
to the Democrats, and as q result that
party was easy to defeat. II the Re-
pubicans continue their present policy
OF cannibalism, there will not be
enough left Of it by November to make
q respectable showing when the votes
are counted.

Pessimistic Note

NEW YORK. Jan. N.-"There Is nc
prospect of improvement in general con-
ditions," said Roswell Miller. chairman
Of the board Of directors Of the Chicago
Milwaukee and st. Paul rPilroad. in a
statement issued today. Mr.. Mlller's state
ment was an explanation of the rednc-
ton Of the st. Pauls dividend rate from
Z to per cent announced on Thursday.
His statement follows:
The cut In the dividend was made nee
essary by the reduction OF net earnings
which was caused by the failure OF crops
In the Dakotas and Minnesota and by the
depressed condition Of general business
which seems TO furfsh no immediate pros
pect Of improvement
I'VE can hope for no better earnings
from crops during the next fetal year.
but there is no prospect Of Improvement
In general conditions and in addition TO
the decreased volume Of merchandise and
mafactures. there is the continued re-
ductions Of rates and the high cost OF
labor"
Mr.. MlIle,s statement was the signal
for an outburst OF selling OF railroad
stocks on the stock exchange and the
market broke badly. Losses Of the lead
ing railroad stocks in some cases were
