H. E. Harriman says that if the railroads will discontinue the making of improvements at this time and wait two or three years the improvements can be made “at a reduction of 20 per cent in the cost of labor,money and materials.” What does he mean by this? Does he expect a panic?

Governor Hanly vetoed Representative Green’s bill increasing the mortgage ememption from S7OO to $1,200 on the ground that the title was defective. The title was corrected and the bill repassed under a suspension of the rules. Then the governor vetoed it again on the ground that the state needs the money. As the legislature had adjourned when the last veto was made, there was no further chance to give the measure life.

T!iail M. Talcott, Republican, was defeated for senator from St. Joseph county by Yolney Bingham, Democrat. Talcott acknowledged his defeat in a personal letter to Bingham. But afterward, yielding to the voice of the Republican state machine, he instituted a contest. As this was absolutely baseless, even the Republican senate could find no excuse for unseating Mr. Bingham, but it allowed Talcott $784 84 for his expenses. The total expense of the contest was $1,346.74 and the taxpayers foot the bill.

The manifest purpose of the Republican dailies at Indianapolis to try to cover up the bitter strife in the ranks of the Republican party by false stories of trouble among the Democrats is most despicable. But it is not a new thing by any meaiiß. The same course has been pursued before, and no Democrat is likely to be deceived. There is no friction among the Democrats of the state. Just now the friction business is monopolized by the Republicans. They have on their hands the most bitter fractional fight—that they have ever known. It would seem, therefore, that the esteemed Indianapolis organs would have quite enough to do if they would faithfully ohroniole the real troubles in their own party.

SOME MONEY COMES BACK.

To forestall further effort to send him to the penitentiary for larceny, George W. Perkins, a member of the firm of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., and former vice president of the New York Life Insurance company, has returned to the latter company the $50,000 contributed by it through him to the Roosevelt campaign fund in 1904. The Republican national

oommitteee, however, is boldißg fast to all the loot that came into its coffers. Says the Philadelphia Record: » “It is not seen as yet that any others have followed the bright example of George W. Perkins in making restitution of money wrongfully taken from the stockholders of corporations. While others have thought about and t ilked about it, Mr. Perkins alone has been pricked by conscience int > action. If all the managers of corporations and trusts who contributed money of stockholders without their knowledge or consent to the last Republican camj :iign for president,, (not to mention previous campaigns) were to follow the Perkins example, what a restoration the country would v itness! In the interest of public morals and for sake of the good name of the financial world it is to be hoped that Mr. Perkins will have many imitators. If the truth were known there is no doubt that much larger contributions than his have been made by the managers of corporations having a greater interest in maintaining existing legislation which favors them.

THE COST.

The first act passed lature appropriated for the expenses of the sixty days’ session. Later, $12,000 additional was appropriated for legislative printing expenses. The total, therefore, is $132,000, the largest in history for a sixty days’ session. Each representative and senator drew S3OO, which is compensation for sixty-one days, at $6 per day. Also, each drew 20 cents a mile for each mile traveled in coming to and returning from Indianapolis. Senate Expenses.—ln the senate, besides the secretary, tho assistant secretary and the eorgeant-at-arms, there are the names of fifty-five employes on the sheet posted iu the lobby. The expenses of the senate are giveu as follows: Secy. Hogate (per diem) $306 00 Assistant Secy Lane (per

diem 366 00 Special allowances 850.00 Sergtat- Arms Jones (per diem) 366.00 Employes Secy 4,598.00 Employes Ass’t. Secy... 2,160.00 EmployesSergt.-at-Arms 3,810.00 Janitors 729.00 Pages 716 00 Committees 2,250 00 Talcott contest 1,346.74 House Expenses.—The expendituresof the house exceeded those of the senate in many particulars and as a whole. In disregard of a resolution requiring the names of all employes to be posted, only a meagre list was made public. A newspaper friendlyto the Republican majority stated that the employes of the house numbered eighty-six, counting a dozen off this number for janitors and pages at $3 and $2 a day respectively, it would leave seventy-four at $5 per day (which is the sum paid clerks, doorkeepers and stenographers) , a total in excess of $23,000 is reached. At the close of the session special allowances were made to the clerk and assistant clerk of the house similar to those made in the senate. Who got the maney.—The final summing up shows the startling expenditure of $132,000 for the session. Of this sum approximately $60,000 was paid to the members of the house and senate for their per diem aud mileage, which are fixed and legal charges. The remaining $72,000 was voted to an army of employes, many of them absolutely unnecessary and useless, Hnd to the state printer for work and supplies. Aside from three stenographers, which the minority members were allowed to name for committee work, not a single Democratic employe drew a cent from the treasury.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and Oeneral Gossip of the National Capital. Special Correspondence to The Democrat. Stock market and railroad crises are so inextrioably tangled up that it is hard to discuss one without touching on the other. The recent flurry in Wail Street came just at the time when the railroads were complaining they were being most unfairly treated by the state and general government, and the railroad explanation of the occurrence naturally is that the panic was precipitated by persistent maligning. There is another side to the situation, bowever, and that is that the whole drop in securities was a carefully planned coup on the part of the big manipulators who knew that they could buy back at an immense profit the stocks whose paper value they so ruthlessly slaughtered.

Of course the situation was represented to the White House as serious the first day of the flurry. But the President denominated it as a gambler’s panic and took no more interest in it. Still there was an urgent demand for money from New York and to save a good many innocent persons, Secretary Cortelyou opened the Treasury department and “relieved the situation” as has been done so many times before by buying bonds and releasing banks from their obligations to retire so much currency monthly.

Now the crisis is over there is considerable speculation as to what the railroads are going to do. Especially is it wondered whether the railroad presidents who were to have come to the White House to see the President will persist in that intention. Already one of them, Mr. McCrea of the Pennsylvania, has announced that he will not come without a special iuvitation, and as he of course will not get that, it looks as though the whole scheme of the visit would fall through. Whether the officials come to Washington or whether they do not, there is certain to be considerable additional railroad legislation at the next session of Cougress, and before the magnates get through, they probably will wish they had taken counsel with the President when they had a good chance. t t t

Oue of the most important moves on the part of the government recently was that of the consular examination held here this week. There were fifteen or twenty men, mostly young men, who took the examination. The decisions have not been published and will not be for some time, but it marks the beginning of real reform iu the consular service when the best man will get the job. And the possibilities of foreign trade for this country are so immense and heretofore have been so neglected, that anythiug looking to improvement in this line is to be welcomed.

The applicants were appointed to take the examination very much as the cadets are appointed for examination at West Point or Annapolis. One of the first qualifications of a candidate was a good working knowledge of French, German, Spanish or Russian. A section of the examination was devoted to language, and beside this were a series of examinations on commercial resources of the United States, trade and banking laws of foreign countries, international law and political economy, and a few similar things. Onecau imagine an examination of that sort being put to many of the political henchmen, retired school teachers and ministers and other derelicts, with whom the service has been loaded in past years. But the inovation has been made, and the appointments will follow in due time on a strictly competitive basis. t t t Speaking of the consular service and foreign trade calls to mind a lecture that O. P. Austin, chief of the Bureau of Statistics delivered in Washington this week. It was on the same line of foreign trade aud contained a good many truths that were so old and so patent that it would seem needless to impress them on wide awake American manufacturers except for the fact that they have been hammered at in government reports for years past and seem to make absolutely no impression. Mr. Austin pointed out that the possibilities of trade between this country and the Far East were almost limitless. Of the clothing and household utensils that were imported into the Oriental countries, he said that 90 percent came from Europe, and only one per cent from the United States. In explanation, he said that the trouble was that too many American manufactur- ' era relied on foreign agents who

would rather push the goods of their own country than of the United States But he said that an equally serious error on the part of American manufacturers was that they tried to educate foreigners, especially Orientals, up to using stock goods of American manufacturers rather than to cater to the trade as they found it. For instance, if a certain pattern of cotton or cloth goods made a hit with the people of the Malay Archipelago, the agents of the French, English and German firms on the ground would hurry samples home to their own houses and immediately goods would be manufactured to suit the market and would be forthcoming in quantities. But with the American houses it was different. They wanted the natives to accept the latest New York styles whether it was in dress goods or rat traps, and they lost trade while they were trying to educate the natives into using something they did not want. This is an old story with government officials who have had to deal with American foreign trade relations. But it is a lesson that American manufacturers seem woefully slow to learn, and until they do learn it the foreign trade of the country is bound to lag far behind that of other nations. f t t Representative elect Hobson made a speech to the Navy League here this week that gives a very good idea of one of the forms of legislation he will try to push when he gets into the House of Representatives. He said that he was first of all a man of peace and was the last oue to wish this country to indulge in a foreign brawl. But he pointed out the immense commerce and foreign interests of this country and said the safest and cheapest peace insurance we could have was a navy that could meet any two navies likely to be sent against us. He said frankly he was in favor of a big naval program, and that he looked on it as an investment and one of the best investments that could possibly be made in the interests oi international peace.

HOME-MADE CATARRH CURE.

Any one can mix right at home the best remedy of its kind known. The name “Cyclone” is given to the following prescription, it is supposed, because of its promptness in driving from the blood and system every vestige of catarrhal poison, relieving this foul and dread disease, no matter where located. To prepare the mixture: Get from any good pharmacy: onehalf ounce Fluid Extract Dandelion, one ounce Compound Kargou and three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. Shake well and use in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime. This is a harmless, inexpensive mixture, which has a peculiar action upon the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys, assisting them to filter and strain from the blood and system all catarrhal poisons, which, if not eradicated, are absorbed by the mucous membrane, and an open sore or catarrh is the result. Prepare some and try it, as it is the prescription of an eminent catarrh specialist of national reputation.

ENJOY EATING.

Good Digestion Can Be Readily Gained With m-o-na Stomach Tablets. If you cannot eat and enjoy three good hearty meals a day without a feeling of discomfort, your stomach is weak and needs to be strengthened with Mi-o-ua stomach tablets. The remarkable 'curative and strengthening powers of Mi-o-ua in stomach disorders is attested by the guarantee which B. F. Fendig gives with every 50c box, “I refund the money if Mi-o-na fails to cure.” If you suffer from jndigestion, distress after eating, specks before the eyes, headaches, pains in the back and side, sleeplessness, or any of the other symptoms of stomach troubles, begin the use of Mi-o-na stomach tablets at once.

Rheumatism I have found a tried and tested cure for Rheumatism ! Not a remedy that will straighten the distorted limbs of chronic cripples, nor turn bony growths back to flesh again. That is impossible. But I can now surely kill the pains and pangs of this deplorable disease. In Germany—with a Chemist in the City of Darmstadt—l found the last ingredient with Which Dr. Shoop's Rheumatic Remedy was made a perfected, dependable prescription. Without that last Ingredient, I successfully treated many, many cases of Rheumatism; but now, at last. It uniformly cures all curable cases of this! heretofore much dreaded disease. Those sand-like granular wastes, found in Rheumatic Wood, seem todissolve and pass away under the action of this remedy as freely as does sugar when added to pure water. And then, when dissolved, these poisonous wastes freely pass from the system, and the cause of Rheumatism is gone forever. There Is now no real need—no actual excuse to suffer longer without help. We sell, and in confidence recommend Dr. Shoop’s Rheumatic Remedy A. F. LONG.
