WHAT THEY SAY Extracts From Various Sources Indi cating Democratic Opinion Regard ing Questions of the Day. Republican gall is almost limitless when it comes to dealing with public money, but the Republican majority in congress will hardly dare to indorse Secretary Gage's plan of loaning the treasury surplus to the national banks. —Shelbyville (Ind.) Democrat. Although Governor Durbin, of In diana. is clearly violating the consti tution in refusing to surrender ex- Governor Taylor to the Kentucky authorities, there is scarcely a Re publican newspaper in the country that does not support him in his wrongdoing. This is because Gover nor Taylor is a Republican and the crime in which he is held to be an accomplice was the murder of a Demo crat. This is small excuse, however, for justifying disregard of the consti tution.—-Reading Telegram. Ex-Governor Shaw, the new secre tary of the treasury, argues that be cause the railroads control the num ber of cars they use, therefore banks should he permitted to control the volume of money used by the people. Whether he takes this position be cause of his bias in favor of hanks or because of iiis ignorance of the money question is immaterial, the fact that he holds such views shows that the people at large will not be considered during his administration of the treas ury department—Bryan's Commoner. "Pennsylvania has received an other blow which sinks it to a lower depth in both the moral and political world." It not only declares it' "an act of political partisanship and demagogy pure and simple," hut was attended by attempts on the part of the governor to bribe Mr. Brown. Stone is going to his fate without the benefit of clergy. It is extraordinary the contempt with which he is re garded by men of all parties and all sects. Few men in high office have ever sunk so low. We have no paral lel in Pennsylvania.—United Presby terian. A hundred Chinese who were stopped upon landing at San Fran cisco. although they claimed they merely wished to pass through the country to Mexico, are to be sent back to China after being de tained two months. It has been held that they have 110 right of appeal from the decision of the local collector. The treatment of these people seems very harsh in consideration of all the privileges that are demanded for Americans in Chinese territory. They might have been forwarded to their destination in a country willing to re ceive them, at much less cost than is incurred in sending them back. —Un- identified. It now seems the machine has con cluded not to call the state conven tion at an early date, as was at first thought desirable, hut will follow precedent and hold the same in June or not earlier than May. This is sat isfactory, and will give abundance of time for discussion concerning candi dates and make a good fight for dele gates. The coming contest in this state is an important one, and will call upon the time, energies and best thought of Republicans to battle for high aims and the best men in the commonwealth, so that we will no longer hear the sneering cry: "What is the matter with Pennsylvania?"— Lancaster Examiner (Rep.). The appointment of ex-Senator 11. S. •Saylor, of Montgomery county, as con sul at Dawson City is an insult to the respectable citizenship of Pennsyl vania. Saylor is one of the cheapest tools the gang ever used at Harrisburg. He was so cheap and transparent that even the page boys around the Hill dis cussed him in the corridors and ridi culed his futile attempts at dignity. President Roosevelt would never have named Saylor for anything did he know his calibre. It was Saylor who was chairman of the committee thai investigated the condition of the bitu minous coal miners in 1897. and who put in an expense bill which called forth protests from all over the state. It was so terribly padded that Gover nor Hastings vetoed it and Saylor has been crying ever since.—Clearfield Re publican. OASTORIA. Bearathe WASHINGTON LETTER 1 [Special Correspondence.] One hundred more policemen for tliin j city and a rearrangement of committee handling of District affairs in congress i are two features which impress Repre sentative Jenkins of Wisconsin as bo- ; ing vital at this time, one for the pros- i ent and the other for the future we I- j fare of the District of Columbia. As a leading member of the house j committee on the District of Columbia ' Mr. Jenkins lias for a number of years j been a close observer of the attitude of J congress to the District and has also j kept himself posted regarding the de tailed workings of the municipal gov ernment of the capital. In discussing the matter the other day Mr. Jenkins | sa id: "As far as the local police force is i concerned it is a splendid body of men, [ and it is only repeating what others i continually remark to say that this is I the best governed city in the United ; States. I am reliably informed that the average policeman in this city works thirty-six hours out of forty-eight. Now here is a chance for the humani- j tarinn to get in some good work. There I is a growing demand for the reduction j of the hours of labor, and it is a sad j commentary on the national govern- j ment that right here at the seat of gov ernment men whose duty it is to protect life and property and be continually exposed should bo compelled to work as the police officers of this city are compelled to work." WaMliiiiK'toi)*n Sliiny Foot. The big ornamental brass doors at ; the eastern entrance of the senate | wing of the capitol have as long as the ' oldest employee of the big building can ! remember been noted for a singular peculiarity. One of the scenes repre sented on the door is that of Washing ton passing through Trenton, the ladies of the city strewing flowers in his way. Washington is mounted, and his right foot extends beyond the usual lines of ornamental work. The foot is striking ly prominent because of the high pol ish 011 it, which makes it glisten in the morning sunlight with all the bright ness of gold. The guides at the capitol always show those handsome brass doors to visitors and explain to them the meaning of the scenes depicted on them. Almost invariably some one of the group of visitors steps forward and. putting his or her thumb on thu shiny foot of the Father of Ilis Coun try, remarks while rubbing it: "What makes this foot so shiny?" The guide invariably replies: "That is Just what does it." Then the visitors laugh and are tak en to other points of interest, and their places are soon taken by another group to repeat the scene, including the foot rubbing and the query about the cause of the phenomenon. The Cupltal'M I'liimp Women. "The thing that impresses me most • about the Washington crowds," said a * woman who has been spending the past two years In the City of Mexico, j "is the comforting number of fat wo- j men. Before I went to Mexico 1 used to think overplump women weren't : good to look at, but now I admire them ! all hugely. There aren't any of them ( in the Mexican capital. Spanish wo- ; men everywhere else put on flesh as ; they grow past their first youth, but in j the City of Mexico they grow painfully I thin. The climate is worse 011 the , complexion than that of Colorado. It : dries the skin and gives it a dull, sal- ' low look. Washington women look 1 like pictures to me. Their skins are so clear and they're so delightfully j plump. An autiobesity specialist would starve to death in Mexico." All He Could Get. Senator Burrows of Kalamazoo and Senator McMillan of Detroit are not only colleagues, but also close friends. They are given to joking each other at times. A day or two Senator Bur rows had occasion to go to the depart ment of agriculture in behalf of a con stituent. On his way back he met Sen- i a tor McMillan, who stopped him and said: "Where have you been, my son?" "Over at the agricultural depart- I ment," replied Senator Burrows. "Did you get anything?" usked Sen- | ator McMillan. "Nothing but a pretty plant they | gave me for my wife," replied Senator Burrows. "That was the only thing 1 could find that was not in the classified ; service." Opposed to Penny Pomtaife. Representative l.oud of California, | chairman of the committee of postof- j lices and post roads, talked with the I president the other day about postal j legislation. Mr. Loud is opposed to j penny postage. "That is out of the question," he said. "With penny post- | age there would be a deficit of at least MM),UUO a year in the receipts of the j postotttee department." Mr. Loud is opposed to government ownership of telegraph lines, as has recently been proposed. Appreciated the Joke. Representative Richardson of Ten- j nessee, the minority leader of the house, formally presented the presi dent with a beautifully bound set of his compilations of the messages and papers of the presidents of the United States. In making the presentation Mr. ' Richardson laughingly asked the presi dent to read carefully the constitution 11 ml Declaration of Independence. The president took the joke good naturedly and said that he would. To Protect the Fluff. Seven senators have introduced bills fo prevent the destruction of the Amer- j icon flag. Senator Penrose heads the list and bases his measure ou strong j grounds. lie claims tliat the govern ment is permitting the Hag to be do- 1 based in the Philippines, and in Ma nila the stars and stripes are used to advertise saloons and as signboards on places of objectionable reputation. i CARL SCUOFIELO. iP&nHse /*%\ (<*£ LAXAKOLA NO ONE BUT A MOTHER I Mleep KITCH to an ailing, teething:, fereriah, colicky, fretty infant. Almost distracted by its constant crying:, and worn out with weary, anxious care and watching:, aho tries everything possible to obtain even relief for the little sufferer. With what comfort uud delight she sees her little one drop off into a deep peaceful health-giving slumber, after its little clogged bowels are cleared of their poisonous burden by a single dose of Laxakola, the great tonic laxative and mother's remedy. Laxakola is iv pure, gentle awl painless liquid laxative, and contains valuable tonic projKjrties which not only act upon the bowels, but tone up the entire system and purify the blood. A few drojs can be given with safety to very young babies, which will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. Great relief fs ex perienced when administered to young children suffering from diurrhcea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as it neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. LAXAKOLA will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature, and induce sleep. For constipation, simple fevers, coated tongue, or any infantile troubles arising from a disordered condition of the stomach it is invaluable.

Alton, 111., in proportion to its size, is probably the strongest citadel of or ganized labor in the country. Out of less than 1t,500 voters 2,500 are trades unionists. There are thirty three unions, and twenty-seven of these were organized by one man who four years ago moved into the commu nity from St. Louis. lie is Joseph Giles, a printer by trade and an accredited organizer for tin* American Federation of Labor. It is while working at his case that he has found time to make Alton the model city in industrial organization. The trades which lie has formed into unions are the bricklayers, #he carpen ters. the painters, tin* decorators, the brewery workers, the bartenders, the boot and shoe workers, the butchers, j the bakers, the electrical workers, the | hod carriers, the laborers, the mining tool workers, tin* plasterers, the plunib i ers, tin* quarry workers, the retail ' clerks, the stone masons, the statlou i ary engineers, tin* stationary firemen, tin* teamsters, the tinners, the clay workers, the powder mill workers, the i tail rs and the unskilled laborers, j While (Ides' genius for organization ! is remarkable, the conditions which he found in Alton when lie went there ; were favorable for his undertaking. | There was already a union of glass ! blowers SUO strong whose national or ganization is credited with being the ! strongest in the world, j Such a successful organization was I in itself calculated to recommend trades unionism to other workers, and ; they readily enough fell into line when i Giles appeared to lead them. ' There have been several results from j this wholesale organization of the I town. Better wages, fixed hours for j work and a systematic method for set- I tliug disputes are credited to it. The | difference in earnings lias been all the j way from lo to 50 per cent. The sniall j est wages paid in any branch now is ' the $1.50 for a day's work of eight ; hours on the city streets. Teamsters are getting $2 a day, and carpenters ; have a scale of $2.40 a day. But perhaps the greatest benefit to : the community comes from the atttlia tion of all the unions in a central | body known as the trades assembly, ! which, when any dispute arises, treats with employers and satisfactorily i averts a strike. To Check Government ly Injunction. ! Judge Bartlett of Georgia, one of t lie ! lending Democrats of the present con- I gross, has introduced a Dill in the house ; to regulate the trial of cases of con | tempt of court. Bartlett's bill proposes to divide con ' tempt cases into two classes—direct | and indirect. For contempt of the latter class all persons thus charged have the right of trial by jury, which, under existing | law, is denied, while for direct con tempt the court may punish the offend er summarily without written accusa tion. 1 Speaking of his hill, Judge Bartlett 1 said: "The purpose of my bill is to 1 check ns far as possible government by injunction and insure the freedom of the press. "It is the fashion nowadays for cor porations and combinations, when they have trouble with their employees, to rush into the courts and obtain sweep ing injunctions, and then, if any of the employees violate the spirit of the in junction. they are hauled into court ami punished for contempt. I "It is neither fair nor just to charge a man with contempt of court for an net committed outside of the court. For contempt of this character the par ty or parties should have right of trial by jury." Not to lb* Expected. "I don't are liow lie enn expect to ; lucceed as an author.
