The steel trust and the so-called Independent steel men have entered into a "gentlemen’s agreement" to pick the pockets of the American people. The Aldrlch-Cannon-Taft tariff law prevents outside interference and this "gentlemen’s agreement" heads off home competition. And the same thing is true in all other lines controlled by the big trusts and big interests. Is it any wonder that the cost of living is mounting higher all the tijpe and that the common people are being reduced to a condition of serfdom?

Robert J. Aley the present superintendent of Public Instruction is a Democrat. He has just turned into the state treasury $ 1,200, the net earnings of the manuscript department in his office. That is the first time this was ever done. Mr. Aley’s predecessors, it is said, regarded the examination feeß as their private property and paid none of them Into the treasury. It should also be remembered that Mr. Aley has been in office less than a year.

William R. Hearst has again become an independent candidate for mayor of New York, this time for the purpose of trying to elect Bannard, the Republican candidate. The Democratic candidate for mayor of New York, Judge William J. Gaynor, is a clean, able man. He has done more to bring about municipal reform than any other one man in the big city. But Hearst, since he abandoned the Democratic party, has made It his business to help the Republicans In every way possible. Strip Hearst of his mother’s money and there is not much left of him except a grouch and a large stock of malice.

THE DEMOCRATIC WAY.

Robert J. Aley, state superintendent of public instruction, will, on December 1, turn into the state treasury approximately $1,200 as net earnings of the manuscript department in the office. This is the first time in the history of the office, according to the governor, that the state treasury has benefited by the deportment, and the announcement that the office had been among the revenue-producing offices of the state occasioned considerable surprise about the state-house. The money conies from a fee of SI.OO which is collected from every applicant for state teacher’s license. The money collected is allowed by an act of the general assembly for the purpose of defraying the cost of employing clerks to grade the manuscripts- No law' requires that any balance resulting from the fund shall be turned into the treasnry and it has been the practice in the past to consider any balance accruing -Jn the department as a perquisite of the office, and as the property of the state superintendent.—lndianapolis News-

WRIGHT IN AERIAL THRILLER

Btops Motor and Comes to Earth After Manner of Bird. College Park. Md.. Oct. 26.—Right over the heads of a few hundred spectators, Wilbur Wright stopped the engine of this aeroplane and, 150 feet above the ground, allowed the machine tp navigate ‘‘under sail” only. Slowly the machine settled to the earth, its wings standing straight out, like those of a bird alighting. A moment later Wright stepped upon solid ground a thousand feet from the shed above which he had shut off his motor.

TURF CHAMPIONS TO MEET

Keene, and Sam Hildreth, speaking for himself, state they see no reason for keeping Keene's Maskette or Hildreth's Fitz Herbert out of the Aqueduct race in which they are entered today. It these two leave the barrier on equal terms, turfmen will see the race they have been dreaming about.''” Fitz Herbert is recognized as the champion of his sex and Keene declares lovers of the thoroughbred have never seen a cleverer Ally than his pet, Maskette. The colt is carded to carry 129 pound* and the filly 126.

REPORT THAT MACK IS THROUGH WITH BRYAN

Belief National Chairman Has Mind Set on Harmon. Buffalo, Oct. 26. The National Monthly, owned by Norman T. Mack, chairman of the Democratic national committee, gives much space in its November issue to an article by Judson Harmon, governor of Ohio, in which he bitterly assails the Republican administration on account of the new tariff and other alleged political iniquities. Governor Harmon was the chief speaker at Democratic day at the Texas state fair in Dallas and his address here, taken in connection with Ills article in Chairman Mack’s national monthly, has given rise to the statement in political quarters that Mack is through with W. J. Bryan as a presidential possibility.

ANOTHER RAILROAR ON PAPER.

Continued from First Page.

know not, but presume it is the intention of the promotors' to get franchses and rights-of-way and, perhaps subsidies voted, and then try to interest capitalists into buying them out. Everyone would like to see a north and south road here, and such a road will be built eventually, no doubt. Perhaps this proposition is the "it," bqt The Democrat has seen so many "paper” railroads that It must be shown a few shovelfuls of dirt thrown and a few ties and rails laid before it goes into extacies over the prospects. At any rate, the members of the council who objected to rushing this franchise through before the people of Rensselaer had ever heard a thing about it, are to be commended. No one will suffer by the delay, and it gives the citizens a chance to learn what is being asked before voting away rights to their streets to unknown promotors. We believe also that the franchise should be limited to 25 or 30 years Instead of 75 years.

Delos Thompson, for W. F. Smith & Co., asked the council to improve Front street from Washington north to Susan street, by spiking up same with a steam roller and then putting on a covering of rock and smoothing it up. He thought the cost would be some S3OO to $360; they would put the rock on at cost laid down here and 25 cents per yard for spreading on street, and $lO per day for use of their roller. Some weak protest was made about the city having no money to do the work, but Thompson said he would take city orders—which bear 6 per cent interest—and he was ordered to go ahead and make the improvement. Twenty-five dollars expended for rock and the city team to haul it would put this street in good condition. The trustees of Weston cemetery reported 18 lots sold since last report; report accepted and deeds ordered.

The fire chief reported 13 members in attendance at the W. J. Wright furniture store blaze, and they were allowed $1 each for their services.
