On the same day the Republican National Convention was eulogizing Roosevelt for the prosecution of illegal trusts and monopolies, the Beef Trust which had been prosecuted and convicted was unblushingly increasing the price of beef from 20 to 30 per cent The word hardly squares with the deed.

honest stand-patter must even be ashamed of the miserable maximum and minimum tariff ’ makeshift.

It now appears that the administration has changed its mind and will not treat with France about the tariff, but only on pure food regulations.

Jim Sherman, the Republican candidate for Vice-President, was the leader in forcing through the steal for extra mileage by the Republican members of the 58 th Congress on the ground of a constructive recess that never occurred.

Does the foreigner pay the tax on wood pulp and print paper, or is it only on steel products, cloth, shoes, glass, sugar, lumber, etc., that he pays our taxes for us? Any Republican can answer this question.

When Fairbanks dallied with those cocktails he began to strike the political toboggan and then added to that he began to count quorums in the Senate to help the Wall Street interests even the Republican managers were compelled to drop him.

It is estimated the Taft family has a hundred and fifty million dollars, and if so there is no reason he will not run well next November. Then Sherman, the candidate for vice-president, has a wad. That’s what stirs patriotism nowadays. In Abraham Lincoln’s time it made no difference.—Crown Point Star (Rep.). Yes, its the dollars of the millionaires, the trust beneficiaries, that makes things move in the g. ■o. p. camp. No one will dispute this, Bro. Wheeler.

Probably no nomination was ever made for the presidency of the United States that created less enthusiasm over the country than that recently made by the g. o. p. at Chicago. As some of the more outspoken republican papers have truly stated, not one in a dozen republicans wanted Taft, and the party will go into the campaign with the same degree of enthusiasm that the democrats felt over the nomination of Parker four years ago. •

Joe Cannon is in a tight place. He is discredited by the result of the Republican National Convention. He is marked for slaughter by the Roosevelt-Taft machine, and someone else will be selected to wield the Speaker’s gavel who will be more subservient to White House influences. It is evident that the disintegration of the Republican party of Lincoln has come at last which is due to its degeneration. What can be expected of the centralization process that the young blood has inaugurated? The people will never be satisfied long with that and we may soon expect the g. o. p. to retire from the political arena unwept and but few mourners to sing its requiem.

TO THE PUBLIC.

I have two very valuable inventions. One is “Horse Shoeing Stocks,” with which tee public is somewhat familiar, the other is a wagon coupling. These articles are now being manufactured by me and sold at a good profit. It takes money however, to enlarge the business. and I have decided to organize a stock, company with a capital of 115,000, divided into 150 shares of 1100 each. I will retain 75 shares for my inventions, patents and good will of the business, and offer to the citizens of Rensselaer and vicinity the remaining 75 shares, or as many thereof as may be necessary to secure a sufficient working capital to manufacture and ‘place the goods on the market. The stock will be sold at par value, JIOO per share. In offering this stock to the public at par, I will say, I will guarantee to each stock-holder a square deal and my earnest and untiring efforts to make this home enterprise a complete success, and I am confident that it will not only build up our city, but it will yield handsome profits to the purchasers of the stock. Respectfully, LUTHER HEMPHILL.

OUR LAWS MUST Bl OBEYED Patrol Established at the Request oi the Mexican Government May Be Called on to Arrest Men Raising Cain in the Dias Republic Disorder la Subsiding. Washington, June 30. —By direction of President Roosevelt Secretary Taft has issued orders to the commanding general of the department of Texas, at San Antonio, to send a sufficient number of troops to Del Rio, EX Paso and other points in Texas to aid the civil authorities in preserving order. This action was decided upon as a result of the request from the Mexdan government that the United States do its utmost to prevent any violation, of the neutrality laws. The request of the Mexican government was referred to the attorney general by the state department, and the governor of Texas in the meantime was asked to aid in compelling obedience to the law. The order of the president sending troops to the border is understood to have been made upon the recommendation of the attorney general. Troops May Arrest Revolutionist?. There is a possibility that United States troops may be called on to arrest any of the Mexican revolutionists •who may cross the border in the effort to escape from the Mexican authorities. It cannot be learned that any actual orders to this effect have been given, as none of the officials having to do with the matter is willing to discuss just what, is being done, except that every step possible is being taken to see that the neutrality laws shall be enforced. The United States authorities are sincerely working to this end. and assurances have been received from the attorney general of the United States and Governor Campbell, of Texas, that everything will be done to compel a strict enforcement of the law.

Mexico Reports All Quiet.

City of Mexico, June 30.—Up to this writing, no news of any sort has been received at the capital that would indicate that there has been a repetition of the disorders similar to those which occurred at the towns of Viesca and I-as Vacas. On the contrary, at the departments of the interior, war and state there comes the report that absolute quiet reigns in the regions where the two small bands of malcontents have been operating. Through private telegrams of inquiry received here, it has been made evident that untruthful and sensational reports relating to alleged captures and assaults are in circulation in the United States. ~

He says, however, that it was a stray bullet, and that United States citizens who have not Interfered in the affairs of the revolutionists have not been bothered. “That is not a fake revolution.” said Harrison. “It is a dead-earnest affair.

I personally know that the president is greatly worried.” Asked his opinion of the ability of Presiden Diaz to cope w ith the situation, Harrison replied that he believed the present president would manage the affair. “But when be is dead." added Harrison, "and that will not be very long now, the Diaz regime will be at an end.
