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.

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

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.

A STRONG LABOR TOWN.
lu Alton Seventy Per Cent of tlie
Yoterw Are Trades I nioiilMtn.
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."
