Let us see! All these stock panics and such like are taking place under a Republican administration; are they not? What’s the trouble?

We have a little bill of $2,500,000 against Cuba for our latest services in “pacifying’’ the island. As we are still sitting on the lid another bill is incubating. Cuba can’t stand many pacifications at that price

Oliver P. Morton, Thomas A. Hendricks, Benjamin Harrison and Joseph E. McDonald modestly aspired to the presidency and nobody laughed. Charles W. Fairbanks aspires to the presidency, and—well, he, at all events, is serious.

Harriraan is a true blue Republican. There is no doubt about that fact. He says the railroads are not overcapitalized because it must bo remembered that “this is a wonderful country.” That is the excuse given for every Republican extravagance under which the taxpayers groan.

The Hou. Will Wood, chiefly kuowu to fame ae a former partner and now a bitter enemy of Governor Hanly, gives itoutthat “Billy” Taylor, “Charlie” Miller, “Jimmy” Goodrich aud “Hugbthy” Miller are after the next Republican nomination for governor. Just why they should want the nomination no one knows. The next governor of Indiana is going to be a Democrat.

The IndiauapolisNews “wondors how it is that Mr. Bryan can keep up his interest in politics.” But there is no cause for wonder stall. Mr. Bryan has convictions, ho believes that certain Democratic policies will materially advance the welfare of the American people. So believing, he has the courage, and the patriotism to stay in the fight until those policies through the success of the Democratic party, are put in operation. He himself has declared that he entered politics by accident, buttlin'; he stayed in by design. In other words he found that there was something in politics for him to do, and be stayed in to do it.

An artiole in Popular Mechanicss gives the following figures as to the relative safety of railroat travel in 1895 and 1905: In 1905 one trainman was killec out of every 133 men employed. In 1905 one trainman was injured out of every 9 employed. In 1905 one passenger killed to eaoh 1,375,856 carried. In 1895 one passenger was killed to each 2,984,832 carried.

In 1905 one passenger injured to each 70,655 carried, In 1895 one passenger injured to each 213,651 carried. The raito of fatalities to passengers carried more than doubled, and that of passengers injured more than trebled. During this eutire ten-year period the railroads of the country have been jackpotted in Wall street by stock gamblers and manipulators, The p iblic has paid the price iu both money and blood.

“Subsidy Jim” Watson, Republican congressman from the Sixth district, is, according to reports, coming from himself, almost “over* wl Gmed” with appeals from the pi < iple to become a candidate for governor. Really, Jim ought to run. He ought to be nominated, for then the people, the real people, would overwhelm him some more. He would be the worst beaten man that ever made the mistake of thinking himself a statesman. The fact that he with six other Republican congressmen from Indiana, voted for the ship subsidy graft, the salary grab and similar iniquities, and that he is a mere tool of the special interests in congress would do the business for him.

A SMALL BUSINESS.

It is said that Governor Hanly would have vetoed the general appropriation bill and thus made a special session of the legislature necessary if he had not secured “concessions” from the state auditor and others that no attempt would be made to draw the $25,000 appropriated to give the state representation at the Jamestown exposition, As a result Indiana will not be represented. The space allotted to this state will have a “For Rent” sign on it. Indiana will enjoy the unflattering distinction of being the only daughter of the old dominion to show an unfilial disposition toward its territorical mother. Says the Rockville Tribune: “State officials would see no barrier in anything crooked by which their own salaries are paid have gone to splitting hairs over the legality of the appropriation for the Jamestown exposition. The auditor of state has declared that he will issue no warrant for the payment of anything connected with the commission. Indiana owes more to Virginia than to any other state. Virginia fitted out the expedition of George Gogers Clark; Virginians captured Vincennes in 1778 and made this territory a part of that oeded by Great Britain in the treaty of 1783. Then she generously ceded this territory, which was a part of her dominion, to the United States, and it was erected into the Territory of Indiana. The State of Indiana, and especially this part of it, is indebted to Virginia for the largest part of the best citizenship of our pioneer period. It is therefore a shame that our state shall take no part in an exposition of national scope, and of particular interest to the state, which of all others, we should honor.”

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and General Gossip of the National Capital. Special Correspondence to The Democrat. It looks now as though the Monroe Doctrine of blessed memory was going to leave the United States with a oouple more South American foundlings on its doorstep. Advices to the State Department indicate that marines have been landed at Ceibu ant Trujillo in Honduras, either to protect American property, or as is more likely, to prevent any foreign government taking a similar step. The war between Honduras and Nicaragua is of no great interest to the outside world. It has something to do with a boundary line and that is about all that anyone has gathered of it. But there have been threats of looting, prompted doubtless by interested governments abroad, and this government, in its role of elder brother to the republics of the south, is expected to play policeman. It was reported that a promise had been given by the Nicaraguan government to turn over the first important city captured in Honduras to loot and pillage by the soldiery. This was so utterly at variance with the modern praotioe of civilized nations that Minister Corea of Nicaragua hastened to the State De-

partment to contradict it as soon as it was started. The ekpianation of the story was simple. It might have oome either from the one foreign government that is always looking for an excuse to land forces on Sooth American soil to see how far we will go in making good the Monroe Doctrine, or it might have been circulated by any two or three continental powers having large commercial interests in Honduras, and wanting to see the place well policed by the United States without the expense of doing it themselves. There is really no thought of serious following the Honduras-Nicaragua embroglic. It is generally understood that as soon as one side or the other wins anything like a decisive victory, the good offices of this country and Mexico will be offered, and that one or the other of them will be accepted. It is thought that this country will manage to have Mexico selected as the arbitrator as it will relieve the monotony of America intervention somewhat, and will be equally if not more acceptable to the waring states and to the rest of South America. It will be good training for Mexico, and she is not likely to be accused of ulterior motives by any outside parties. t t t

Anybody who has spleen to vent on the railroad world is hereby invited to walk up and vent it on Mr. Harriman. He appears to be having a hard time, and the world notoriously likes to kick a man when he is down. To be sure Mr. Harriman, if he is down, has many million dollars and several profitable railroads in his pocket. But the general idea seems to be that he is due for the fiercest prosecution the government can frame up. Senator Cullom on coming from the White House the other day, said that if there was a law capable of doing it, Mr. Harriman ought to be put behind the bars for a term of years. Gov. Deneen unquestionably came to the White House at the invitation of the President to see what could be done by the state of Illinois in the way of a state prosecution of Harriman for his looting of the Alton. There are two special attorneys for the Interstate Commerce Commission now working on the case of the Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific and they will make a report to the Interstate Commerce Commission by whom it will be transmitted to the Department of Justice, for action if possible under the Sherman AntiTrust law. Indeed it is said that there is a fair chance of convicting Harriman under the Sherman Act, the case of his two railroads being almost the duplicate of the Northern Securities case. t t t The railroads as a whole are still very nervous of action by the Administration. The fact that Secretary Cortelyou has refused to accept any more railroad bonds as security for bank circulation is thought to be a possible forerunner of action Remanding the withdraw, al of bonds already so deposited, The mere fact that Mr. Cortelyou has said he has no such intention is not received with the assurance such a positive statement would seem to warrant.

A number of the railroads have taken a course that is a little puzzling. The Erie for instance has issued peremptory orders to discontinue work on about $8,000,000 worth of improvements. This will mean cancellation of orders and throwing thousands of men out of work. One of the big southern lines has taken the same step, though its work is not quite so extensive. Many of the other roads have suspended work on extensions and are doing only the most pressing work of maintainance. The roads taking this action allege that it is almost impossible in the present state of public feeling to get money to carry on their work. This doubtless is true in a measure, but there is little doubt also that the situation is not so desperate as the roads make out. It looks more like an organized attempt to start a national depression and accomplish by this sort of a threat what the flurry in the stock market did not accomplish, namely a break in the President’s polioy of railroad legislation intended to produce really honest railroads. t t t Much practical work is being done by the Forest Service in aid of tree planting in the middle west. The servioe has been anxious all alodg to disseminate as much information as possible about tree planting and to encourage the work. Many important works on tree culture, treating in detail of the different varieties have been issued. But it was found that a man was Beldom interested in more than one or two varieties of tree adapted to his

particular locality. The Service therefore has adopted the plan of issuing leaflets on individual varieties of trees, each containing jnst as much as the average inquirer would want to know. These leaflets are printed with a view to their nse in certain localities and farmers and others interested in the culture of the best trees for their own particular sections can be famished much valuable information in a very small compass by applying or writing to the “Forest Service,” Washington, D. C„ and merely stating their locality and asking for the literature bearing on that region. Much money is being sayed on printing and postage and more is left to be devoted to other lines of forest research .
