Iioum. until It was retried corn in-lied
Its sudden removal from the commit
tee pigeon hole. Every democrat In
the 'house voted for II. The outv
ote ngnltiM It oa me from a republi
can. The bill was urged orlglnnll by
representatives of organized labor
nd has been up to the lust moment
antagonized by tho republican party.
It was put through under nressuru
from the president aided by a united
tnocratlr minority. No doubt. ho-
ver the fact that it was lmssed by
this congress will receive iromlneut
attention In the republican campaign
book of this year without any men-
tion of the fact that its passage wax
affected only by beinocratlc Insistence
and democratic aid. The classes from
horn ttio republicans exix-ct to draw
their campaign fund are the ones who
have consistently opjiosod tho bill
through at least four past congresses.
It Is going to bo Interesting no' to
notice whether the republican major-
ity In the senate Is going to save the
possible campaign fund by disagreeing
Ith the house uon tho bill or
whether It will socrlflce the campaign
fund by enacting tho bill Into law.

Harper's Weekly.
Not a Trenchant Blade.
Somebody has been kind enough to
Bend me an editorial from tho Toledo
Blade In which 1 and other readers
u ro Informed that the situation m
ew York Is hoeless for tho demo
cracy in the event or .Mr. iiryan s
nomination. Tho editor of the Uladu
says:
'Tne elements which operated la
Mr. Cleveland's favor are now lac-k
ing. Tho feeling against Roosevelt In
Wall Street clrc'.os noes not extend
In tho same degree to Secretary
ift."
Both of these statements aro true.
. . a . . I
0 far as .Mr. uryan is concenieu
the forces which woro behind Cleve-
land r.re emphatcally lacking. One
f those forces was for example the
late William C. Whitney who Thom
as 1 ltyan the other day testified col
lected $500000. from certain notorious
plutocrats of tho republican and the
eiiiocr.ulc sort. A day or two ago
Mr. llr.uin amended his testimony by
aylng that while tho money was col
lected for political puriiosos for use
In the campaign of 1900 he was not
bio to say to which candidate or to
which party It was given. 'Hint it
hould lmve been given to tho party
ed by Mr. Bryan Is of course incon-
IKiHslblo because tho total campaign
possible beenuso the total campaign
fund did not equal the amount which
Mr. Whitney one of those forces be
hind Cleveland collected.
I am further informed that the feel
ing against Iloojevelt 111 Wall street
circles does not extend to Taft. That
Is very true. Here lu Washington the
iintngonlsm to Taft among tho mem
hers of the house and the senate is
of the most bltvjr description. An
enormous majority of them deslro to
see lilm defeated at Chicago. But
when one says is most democrats
aay that If nominated bo will be do
feated at the polls by Mr. Bryan they
shake lliulr heads. Thoy do not ques
tlon the Bryan strength but tney no
declare that with Taft nominated tho
money of Wall street will bo discreet
Iv poured Into the campaign fund ns
he has made his pence with the street
while the president's reputation for
radicalism and undoubted jxipuinrlty
among the voters will serve to dla
tract attention from the fact that
... 1 la Ilk
rt candidate wuose uiu'wu
fact to the plutocracy Is the man who
i.nii3 tin tle.fcet. When It Is borne
In mind that tho estlnmto made by
responsible newspapers of the cost of
the Taft campaign for romlnatlon ex
ceeds SS00.000 It may bo imagined
what his campaign fund after noml
nation might amount to..
A Democratic Revolution.
It U a time-honored rule In the house
of representatives that what has beon
done In a committee Is never formal
y repeated on the floor of the 'house
Of course Individual members of tho
commltteo kindly and confidential)-
tell everything that happens to tho
newspaer correspondents Just as all
that has beon done In an executlv
session leaks. But on Tuesday of till
week tlvo memlwis of tho commltteo
on the prosldent vlco-prosldont and

rule ami Issued formal tAtonietM

Ivkem:-. of Mi hlgan both somewhat
famous for the else of the campaign
funds that enabled them to hold their
districts .vere also on hand. That
made a quorum of the committee
with the demmrata In the in.ijorlty.
One of the demoerntlc members mov-
ed that the bill be favorably report-
ed. There was a short colloquy on n
ixilnt of order. A signed st..teimnt
Issued by all tho democratic mem-
bers goes on to any:
"About this time tho chairman en
gaged m a whispered cotivernutlon j
with Mr. Dekeniu and Mr. Burke.!
the two republican members .invent j
after whleli they Immediately left the j
room. The chair then announced lo j
thu democratic members all of whom .
were present that no quorum was
present and that he would not put
tho motion to rejiort the bill. One
of the democratic uieiubers asked the
chairman if uhiii a roll call within
live minutes a quorum had not ans-
wered present to which he responded
yes.' Then he was asked If the two
republican members who had Just re-
tired from the room did not ahtcnt
themselves at his suggestion and he
replied to this query; 'The chair does
not like to have to aimer that ques-
tion.' The chairman expressed him-
self as being opposed to the Me-
Call bill referred to howeer and
said he did not feel like maintaining
a quorum t() report out a bill to
which he was opiKiscd. The live demo-
cratic members of the committee
wero In favor of reporting the Mc-
Call bill and It would hae been fav-
orably i ('ported but fur the llllbuster-
lug tactics of tho republicans in
breaking the quorum."
Thu fact that for the llrst time
almost lu congressional procedure the
secrets of tho committee room havu
been divulged by a formal signed
atemcnt entered into by all the
majority members of tho committee
sows bow tnorougiiiy tney wore out
raged by the action taken.
Anil the character of the action
taken by thu chairman of the com-
mittee Indicates how apprehensive the
republicans are lest the committee of
cumpaign fund which they are
ilrvail) planning to collect should be
given publicity. Their frank asser-
ous tlipt however Wall Street may
feel toward Roosevelt It Is friendly

they hope to light the coming presi

ng to plead guilty to this charge.
Is their duty to discontinue fac
tious llllbilsterlng opposition to the
national publicity law which has re
celved tho approval of tho best un
prejudiced obsonors of politics In
the nation
Mrs. Belle de ltlveiu. president of
the equal SutTruge League of New
York said the other day of a certain
suffrage question.
"If we adopt that course .we shall
bo going from bad to worse liom

"In fact we will resemble !ho poor
shop girl who married an elderly
mUur.
"Tho girl's position after muri'luge
was a hard one and she and her
mean old husband exchanged many
bitter words.
'I only married you.' the old man
aid one day 'because I pitied you
when nobody else thought anything

She looked up from the wnshttlb

An olllclnl In Idaho was the pos'
sessor of an annual pass and also a
hog ranch. The liog ranch was fu
removed from his home but both
wero situated on the same lino of
railroad. Ho would travel from his
home to Ifls hog much checking an
aininy trunk on his pass. Ho would
kill and dress a hog nt tils ranch
put It lu tho empty trunk and
check It to his home station. Thl
worked beautifully until tho careless
handlers of baggage ono day throw
tho trunk off at tho homo station
with such force that It broko open
and exposed tho contents to tho gnzo
of his dismayed neighbors.
Then tho railroad company served
notice that tho pnRs was only for ono
hog at a time. Idaho Scimitar.

CITIZENS OF DENVER ARE BUSY

FOR THE BIG CONVENTION

Denve Colo. April 11 Sp. u1
"You would think the ieoil .mi m
Denver Colorado were preparing l i
a world's f.ilr Instead of a demon. km
convention." said a traveling man t
u roMirter In one of the hotel lob
hle yesterday. "I was out there a
short time mro mid the people ue
hiMiy gelling iVady for the convention
that meets In July as If tin i
pected the whole country was uniti"
lo attend. They have a new auditi
rlum about completed and (hey Iww
a welcome wrch to greet the sii.m
gera that con I an Immense .itnoui
of money. It Is a mattei of ii
pride with Denver to make Hie con
vontlon the high water mark for ui'
conventions ever held In the conn
try.
There are already a llvi ly lot of
political candidates on the ground
looking for olllces. The banner of the
democratic national sub-commltte
hangs from the flagstaff of one hotel
like the ensign of a commanding gen
oral and he various candidates for
president hao taken headquarters at
oilier places to he rea fni .Ik tray
that Is still more thai thite months
away.
"Nobody seems to Know exactly
what Is coming off at the convention.
The activity of the iHilltlcluns would
Indicate that there Is to bu considera-
ble of a struggle. The various Can
dldates for the nomination for prei I
dent are not announcing their plans
and thosu who nro working for them
are very cautious about cxpiesKlm;
their Intentions. I talked with a po-
litical manager of one of thu men who
Is supposed lo bo a candidate and he
denied that tho man ho represented
was going to bo placed before the con-
vention for the nomination. If that Is
true It looks strange that they should
go to tho trouble of renting headquar-
ters a couple of mouths in adiilice of
the usual time and prepare to bring
nearly a thousand people and a baud
all the way to Denver to boo iiihlm
It looks to mens If there was a great
deal of work being done for candidates
that Is being kept under cover
"Denver Is all agog with excite-
ment over the coming convention. The
people of tho city are eager to have
everybody como and want to treat
right so hu will go away
speaking well of tho city. It Is a
great advertisement for Denver they
claim to entertain more hospitably
than any other city has ever enter
tallied. They certainly are trying hard
to deserve tho name ''Convention
City."
