The whole brood are doinfe business as arrogantly as ever, fixing prices and gathering in the people's dollars without the slightest fear of interruption. Now and then some Republican newspaper or speaker calls attention to the price of corn as evidence of what the Republican party “ie doing for the farmer.” The present price of corn will not make an> farmer especially v happy if he hat none to sell or has to buy. Least of all will such an argument strike favorably the man who fed .most of his corn to hogs which he wat forced by the Republican panic and the meat trust to sell last wlntei at $4 per hundred.

“HANG THE EXPENSE.”

The Republican party during the last four years of the Roosevelt administration has spent three and one-half billions of dollars In the

national government, an average of nearly $860,000,000 a year. Speaking of the extravagance, the New York Evening Post (Ind.) says: “The party In power is traditionally lavish In its policies; and its president is a man Into whose ken economy never swims. Mr. Roosevelt has not utyered a single word In favor of retrenchment; his demand is always for more money expended on new projects. In President Cleveland’s second Inaugural, he upheld the homely American virtues of frugality and thrift, and, although the clouds bad not then gathered upon the financial horizon, called for the utmost economy In public expenditures. But not even in these bad times — which good Republicans do not mention as they pass—have we had from the president anything so weighty or direct. With his constant attitude being that of ‘hang the expense,’ it is not strange that congress has hung it.”

THE PASSING OF JOHNSON. The nomination of W. J. Bryan at Denver is now assured, the “Johnson boom” having vanished entirely. This state of affairs does not exist because of anything Johnson has said or done, but because he has allowed a faction —not one of them a democrat —of plutocrats in Wall street to not only finance his boom, but some of their most conspicuous members to direct it. Had he told the New York World and the bunch it represents to “get thee behind me, Satan," as was done on an occasion where much more was at stake than the Presidency of the United States, he need not be in the condition that he finds himself—that of being in sympathy with the Wall Street crowd and not in sympathy with the plain people. He has so few delegates that it is doubtful whether his name will be presented to the convention at all, and the handicap that the crowd that are behind his candidacy have produced

will in all probability ruin his chances for all time. And more is the pity, for it must be conceded that he is a man of fine executive ability, and of the highest integrity, and it is only to be regreted that this malring of strictly highclass presidential timber must be relegated to the realm of the' “has beens.” It is another case of a good man associating with a gang that the American people have determined to rid themselves of at whatever cost, and the sooner this fact is realized by candidates for office, the better it will be for themselves and their henchmen. That Indianapolis national bank that failed several years ago having $600,000 of “assets” which, in the wind-up of its affairs, were sold at auction for sll, would be right in it under the new “emergency currency” law if it had managed to survive until the present time. “Not less than 63 and probably 100 millionaires”—most of them of the “multi” kind—in the Republican national convention. So says the correspondent of a Republican paper. Were these men all in Chicago to look after the interests of the ordinary fellow? Well, were they?

1 The cost of running the State has Increased more than 100 per cent in the past twelve years, but that fact did not prevent nearly all the high salaried officials and clerks from deserting their jobs and spending a week or two in Chicago. Salaries, of course, will be drawn for full time.

Every man who marched up to the county treasurer's office last April and May ‘knew very well that the “foreigner” did not pay the tax. And the foreigner never did pay the tax —neither the direct tax collected at the treasurer’s office, nor the tariff tax, one-fifth levied by the government at the custom houses and four-fifths gathered In by the trusts and the other tariff barons.

The appropriation for tjp» navy for the next year is $122,000, 0D0. But as the government la using warships as targets for torpedo practice, much larger appropriations may be needed. After all, however, it is only the people who have to pay the price, and it makes more, money for the steel trust and the powder trust.

When It is remembered that William H. Taft was backed by a thir-ty-million-dollar brother as well as by a numberless army of federal Officeholders, it Is hard to believe the statement made by his Republican opponents that his race for the presidential nomination cost him more than a million dollars.

The Republican governor of Kentucky has pardoned Powers and Howard, several times tried and convicted for complicity in the murder of Governor Goebel, a Democrat. It is announced that these men will hereafter be very prominent in Republican party affairs. Surely, the Republican party is determined to reach the bottom of political demoralization. The many thousands of federal officeholders who have been working for months to get control of the Republican national convention have not forgotten to draw their salaries regularly. They have neglected the duties for which the public pays them and used for private purposes time which was not their own. Never before was the whole civil service so badly demoralized as it is at this time—and all under the administration of that unparalleled, unexampled and un-a-good-many-other-things, Theodore Roosevelt!

At the first session after increasing the salaries of its members from $5,000 a year to $7,500 a year—thus adding more than a million dollars to the salary last-congress proceeded to spend one billion and eight million dollars. And this was done, too, in the fact of a deficit which it is estimated will amount to nearly $250,000,000 by the end of the next fiscal year. If these Republicans had raised their salaries a notch higher it is hard to tell where the other expenditures would have ended. In asking the legislature of 1907 to increase his salary from IMHMI to $2,000 (which was done) the custodian of the State House gave as a reason that the official force in the State House had been "doubled” and that the cost of liv-i ing had greatly increased. But the custodian was of the opinion that the pay of his army of ianitors policemen, watchmen, etc., might very well remain where it was. It is (rue that the number of persons * drawing salaries in the State House lias “doubled" since the Republi cans came into power, and it is (rue that the cost of living has gone up under Republican rule, but it does seem that the cost of living might have affected the janitors as well as the occupants of the swivel chairs.

PEOPLE OF THE DAY

Ths Socialist Candidate. For the third time- Eugene V. Dobs, candidate of the Socialist party for president of the Halted States. Is making the race for the highest honor in the gift of the people. In 1000 he ran on the Social Democratic ticket, receiving 87,814 votes. Four years later as a straight Socialist 402,283 ballots were cast in his favor. Mr. Debs balls from Terre Haute. Ind., where hte was born fifty-three years ago. In his younger days he was a locomotive fireman and from 1880 to 1893 was secretary-treasurer of the brotherhood of that craft. Resigning from that body, he organized the

EUGENE VICTOR DEBS.

American Railway union, of which h* was made president. As head of the latter union he won a large strike on the Great Northern. While managing a still larger strike on western roads in which the Pullman company was involved he was charged with conspiracy, but on trial was acquitted; then he was charged with violation of an injunction and sent to jail for six months for contempt of court. Mr. Debs is a man of more than ordinary culture and has served as a member of the Indiana legislature and as city clerk of Terre Haute. Big Man of the House. Representative Cy Sulloway of New Hampshire is the best known man at the head of a long table in all congress. The capitol sees little of him except in that attitude. Sometimes he stalks upon the floor of the house, so tall and massive that there is no seat quite large enough to make him comfortable. He rarely remains very long. The place he likes is in the swivel chair at the head of the committee on Invalid pensions, which adjoins the most used of the house elevators. The Hon. Cyrus keeps the mahogany doors open most of the time, with a plump, round-faced negro messenger on guard. The multitudes pass and repass day after day, and the big Granite Stater, poring over papers, examining private pension bills and writing reports thereon, has become as much of a fixture in the optical apparatus of this perambulating throng as the goddess of Liberty on the capitol’s top.—Boston Herald. Conquerors of the Air. The Wright brothers of Dayton, 0., who recently created a sensation by flying in their aeroplane on the coast of North Carolina, seem to have solved the problem of aerial navigation. Aside from the triumph of apparently controlled flight, the most important achievement from the aeronaut’s viewpoint was that the flying machine not only carried both men. but carried them in a sitting position. Heretofore their aeroplane carried but one man, and he lying prone. According t<> all reports, the Wrights have succeeded in overcoming the real problem of mechanical flight, that of equilibrium. For many years the Wrights have been at work cn their flying machine.

Wilbur, the elder brother. Is a large man of the big boned type. Orville Is slight and dapper. Both are modest and very reticent concerning their machine.
