control the Senate after March 4, will

pleted their work next month.
In Maine Representative Burleigh,
Republican, received a majority in the
primaries, and the legislature Is sup
posed to be Republican on joint ballot.
And yet I am informed that the Bull
Moose faction. while claiming to be
Republican, will vote for Democrat
rather than Burleigh. Combined, the
Democrats and Bull Moses will control
the situation. Senator Gardner, the
Democratic incumbent, may be his sue
cessor after all.
The outlook In Kansas is equally dubi-

the cuast-to-coast trade.
Whether in declining to arbitrate the
question OF tolls or no tolls for our
coastwise vessels using the canal We
have violated the Hay-PaUncefOte
treaty or not, the fact remains that the
transcOutlnental lines have always been
opposed to an lsthmian waterway. With
them it is a matter OF business rather
than one Of patriotic national advantage.
In i recent speech before the New
York Chamber OF Commerce. Senator
Root said that by ignoring the treaty
and exemptinG these vessels from the
payment OF canal tolls We had raised a
question of homer with Great Britain,
and that we now stand "disCredited. dis

of America is ''bIackened." our self-re-

nulled, dishouOred. and disgraced."

to reach its highest state Of perfection.

Extradition for Wife Deserters.

The public will applaud the Phila-
dclphia policy to pursue rccreant hus-
bands who desert their wives, even
though the chase shall lead into other
States, necessitating extradition pro-
ceedings, to the end that justice may
be served and that communities shall
not be taxed with the care of their
abandoned families. A deserted wife
heretofore has had scant recourse when
the faithless consort has betaken him
self beyond the jurisdiction. Her only
chance has been to watch patiently in
the hope that he would return, where
upon she could have him brought be-
fore the court with the alternative of
paying a weekly allowance or going
to jail
The course proposed is not only
within the law, but it is an advanced
step in the interest of justice and
right. This new policy makes for bet
terment of conditions in the social sys-
tenn. Any one who has ever been a
spectator at desertion court will be
able to realize the misery and wretch
edness a faithless husband can bring
to the life of the woman he abandons.
The law heretofore has dealt but
lightly with such offenders, not so
much on account of any weakness in
the law itself, but because of the lack
of energy on the part of those whose
business it has been to enforce it.

Washington, July 1S.-The recent
publication of figures showing the sur
plus wealth of the United States has
revealed the fact that Uncle Sam
gains hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars every year through calamities,
especially calamities that involve the
destruction of personal property, such
as earthquakes, CONGREGATIONS, etc.,
where paper bills that can never be
redeemed are destroyed. Every year
millions of dollars are lost or de-
stroyed and these are never redeemed.
OF the $400,000,000 of legal tender
notes issued early in the civil war,
$3,000,000 are still outstanding of the
small denominations alone; of $780,.

stood that Job Hedges, Senator Depew
and few others of the fun-makers of
the Republican party will be asked to
the White House in few days to
devise a plan of making some fun for

it has been demonstrated that this is
feature of campaigning quite as
necessary as political speeches and
the issuance of pamphlets outlining
the fitness Of candidates for office.
To get at the matter in a dignified way
is not above the plans of the Republic
can leaders. 1t is recalled that all
campaigns have been distinguished by
humor since the Jackson epoch. The
