It is a great feat. The postoffice investigation can hardly yet be called a “closed incident,” there is danger yet for some ' of the gentry. It has been remark- ' ed that those postal officials who have passed through the statute of i limitation have not clamored for a I vindication investigation. They ' have been highly content it seems to sneak off with their tails between their legs. It is noticed that when the trusts raise the wages of employees they usually in consequence increase the , price of their products. A little i study of the several advances, however, usually discloses the fact ’ that the advance in cost of the product to the people has been several hundred per cent above the advance i in wages. At the same time the 1 people are supposed to believe that < the reason that they have to pay more for the things they use is because the laboring man has demanded an increase in wages. Many republican leaders who, in the recent erstwhile, were going about wearing a worn, haggard and hunted expression are now walking the streets of the [nation’s capital wearing a broad and expansive smile that somewhat resembles a <Tack in frozen liver. Wherefore? Simply because on the 31st of July last the statute of limitation ran out and they are forever barred from prosecution for the misdeeds and peculation they indulged in while holding positions of honor and trust under the national government three years ago. There are many men who ought to have been indicted and would have been had not President Roosevelt told Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow not to investigate any of the cases where the statute of limitation would run this year.

He will wind up hit Indiana speaking tour at Bethany Park next Monday afternoon and he may visit T. Taggart at French Lick for a few days before his departure. The appearance of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of ijtbor in Indianapolis at this time is exciting considerable comment. He came unheralded and unattended and to newspaper men he stated he was here for the sol® purpose of snaking hands with the delegates to the national convention of garment workers. However, In view of the recent announcement that the federation has decided to organize the employes of the big factory of D. M. Parry for the purpose of teaching the preslden’ of the National Association of Mnrufsc turers a lesson in unionism, it would not be surprising to learn that the real object of Gompers’ visit was to get a line on that situation. lie says it is a cinch that the Parry plant will be organized. A short time ago Parry said he would shut down the factory I ' if the men organized, and that he would move it out of town before he i would submit to the demands of n union.

I don’t think any other candidate can L, '».X s A I ' * bV MF iWW OKNKRAT, THOMAS J. STEWART. win against General Black. The majority of the larger departments have instructed for General Black and he will be elected.” "Will there be any recognition of General Miles In the convention, any resolutions or anything of that kind?” was asked. “I cannot say as to that." said General Stewart. “The retirement of General Miles has been so recent that any sentiment created at the time or following his retirement has hardly de veloped yet. It may be that there will be action taken in San Francisco that would express the appreciation of the ‘Boys of ’6l’ for the services rendered by a comrade in that war, especially a comrade who has since commanded the army of the Ignited States. But, as I said before. 1 have no knowledge that General Miles is a candidate for commander-in-chief, but I am sure that he cannot be elected.” Hooley In Trouble Again. London.
