excellent specimen of man will die.
The winds will chant sad requiems

prepare a gushy obituary setting
forth the many noble Christian vir¬

obituary will be handed to us. Of
course we will publish it—at half

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
The President Is Being Criticised, by Members of
His Own Party, for His Appointment
of Democrats.
I « Have we pnt a democrat or
republican in the White House?”
No question has been more fre
quently asked in the Republican
cloak-rooms of Congress than this,
and it has been reiterated more
than ever since the President sent
to Congress the annual report of
Commissioner of Corporations
Garfield, who adopts, as his chief
recommendation, after a year’s
study of the subject of federal
control of trusts, a scheme first
proposed by William J. Bryan at
a Civic Federation ^banquet in
Chicago, six or seven years ago.
Thie scheme consists of prohibit¬
ing all corporations from engag¬
ing in interstate business until
they have piocured federal licenses
and complied with such conditions
as congress may impose.
• *
*
There is no question but that
the president has put his finger on
tbe two greatest evils of the busi
ness system of the country. He
ha8 emphasized the necessity for
providing for the governmental
control of railroad rates and of the
great corporations which engage
interstate commerce and which
are popularly known as trusts.
He has asked, almost demanded,
that Congress pass legislation
which will remedy tho existing
evils. In so doing the President
has not hesitated to borrow from
his opponents and advocate lead¬
ing democratic policies, but he is
counting without his host in ex¬
pecting a republican congress to
aid him in correcting these evils.
Instead of setting themselves to
the task which the president has
pointed out to them as of vital
importance to the wellbeing of the
nation, republican members of
congress are gazing at each other
in amazement and questioning if
they have not made the unpardon¬
able error of electing a deni >,■ ratio
president on the republican tickes
*, X *
l ( We have come to the parting
of the ways,” said the [ : - fient
io a republican senator re ntly.
i I Wo must now decide wh Cn-r the
republican party shall stand for a
sqaaie deal f r every man, be he
great or small, influential or in
significant, whether it shall im
prove its opportunity, curb cor
poiate greed and prove to f’n ; peo
pie that it stands for their inter
ests, or whether it shall nn rit the
name given it by the den; -erats,
‘the party of special privileg e and
vested interests.'” What reply
the senator made to the president
your correspondent does not know.
To your correspondent, a moment
later, the senator said, “That man
is a fool. He talks like a wild
eyed Democrat. If he goes on at
tliis rate he will soon be a bigger
socialist than Bryan, a bigger an
archist than Dobs.” If Mr. Roose
veil could hear what the national
legislators in his own party are
saying of his policies and his aims
even as stout hearted an individ¬
ual as he would probably feel a
a sickening sensation.
* *
The president has just been
guilty of frightful heresy in the
eyes of rbe members of bis party.
He has appointed Francis E. Luepp
to the office of Indian Comtmss
loner. Mr. Luepp is a life-long
Democrat and has for years been
Washington correspondent of a
prominent democratic newspaper.
Mr. Luepp was appointed a mem¬
ber ot the Indian Commission by
President Cleveland'resieni no of.

Mr. Roosevelt should have ap

the office should have been purely
a secondary consideration Mr.
Luepp succeeds Wra. A. Jones,
one of the best Indian Commiss
ioners who ever filled the office, j
and a republican Mr. Jones was i
formerly a republican member of j
the Wisconsin state legislature
When Mr. Jones handed to the
President his resignation Mr.
Roosevelt askjd if he could sug¬
gest a good man for his successor.
Jones replied, “Yes, Frances E
Luepp. 9 ? t t Mr. Luepp is a derno
crat,” replied the president “I
know that,’’ said Jones, “but if
there is one office in the adminis¬
tration which should be filled with
out regard to party politics it is
the one I have the honor of re
signing,” and to Mr. Jones’ credit
it may be said that he always plac
ed the interests of the Indians and
the good of the service before par
tisan considerations,
When Congress reconvenes there
is to be made a terrific fight on
the Panama Canal Commission.
An effort will be made to cut its
membership down to three and
other changes will be advocated.
The existing commission may be
open to criticism, probably is, but
those who believe in an isthmian
canal will think twice before they
endorse the attack. The onslaught
is to be led by representative Wm
P. Hepburn of Iowa, chairman ol
the committee on Interstate ana
Foreign Commerce Mr. Hepburn
is the protege of J. W. Blythe
national committeeman for Iowa
and Counsel for the Chicago, Bur¬
lington and Quincy railway. An
examination of Mr. Hepburn’s
record shows that he always
fought any isthmian canal, that
he, with others whose sincerity
was questioned, espoused the Ni¬
caraguan route that he almost
succeeded in killing the Panama
Civil Government bill in the clos
ing hours of the last session and so
1 delaying all work on the canal for
a year. The C. B. & Q. is vir
tually a trans-continental road,
The trans-continental roads dread
the competition of an isthmian
canal because il will inevitably
lower trans-continental railway
rates. Before endorsing dir. Hep
burn’s attack the wise man will re¬
fleet for a moment on the adage,
“Beware of the Greeks bearing
gifts.”
-* *
Soon after he was elected, Presi¬
dent Roosevelt declared his con
viction that the tariff should be
revised, and intimated that he
would call a special session next
spring to perform the work. To¬
day he admits that he has been
talked out of culling a special ses
sion in the spring, but adds that
he may do so in the fall. The
truth is that influential 1 I stand
patters” are threatening the Pres¬
ident and declaring that if he per
sists in the policy of tariff revision
he will disrupt his party as badly
as did Mr. Cleveland during his
last term. Sooner or later must
corao a contest between the Presi¬
dent and the < < standpatters, ? >
which the public will watch with
interest.

MARRYING IN THE ARMY.
Wbr G«itri) Corbin Belieres Officer* I
Should tel: Secretary of War Ft rat.
In his annual report Major General
Henry C. Corbin, commanding the At
lantlc division of the army, with head¬
quarters in New York, makes some :
striking recommendations for restric
tlons on the marriage of army officers.
says a Washington dispatch. Accord
ing to General Corbin, no officer should
be permitted to marry until he has first
obtalued the permission of the secre
tary of war and has satisfied that
official that hts income la sufficient to
tupport himself and family and that ha
Jjor'pjn'^ayg-* 1 ^ froai debt G * nerai
“Marriage of army officers who have
made no proper provision for assuming
{ShTfi™ 1 a! 2 y a^Tto" the offiSS
themselves. To this broad statement
there are of course exceptions, as there
are to all broad statements, but the,
general fact remains that our army ia
overmarried. The pay of a subaltern
officer is hardly enough for his proper
support and the expenses of his equip¬
ment and uniform. If to this is added
the inevitable expeuse attached to a
family it is not only probable, but
almost certain, that when an officer
strikes his balance at the end of the
year he will be behind if be has no
income but his pay.
"That a bachelor officer is more val¬
uable to the service than a married
officer does not follow', nor do I wish
to be understood as so saying, but the
married officer is less valuable if In
marrying he has not exercised that
prudence which should govern all
transactions in life.
“I am firmly of the opinion that no
officer should enter the marriage rela¬
tion without first getting the authority
of the war department, and as a neces¬
sary condition thereto his income after
marriage should be sufficient to sup¬
port himself and family. Above all.
If he is to live on his pay he should
state on honor that he is free from
debt."
NEWSPAPER MANAGEMENT.
British Editor Auintril at Money Lost
by Sen York Dallln.
Sir Alfred Ilarinsworth, proprietor
of the Ixindon Daily Mail and six oth¬
er daily newspapers in Great Britain,
recently made the following com¬
parisons between American and Eng¬
lish newspapers during a talk with a
New York Herald reporter:
“Concerning my newspaper interests,
let me say to you at the outset that I
have no thought of starting a news¬
paper in tills country. In point of
profit making I consider the New Yofk
city field a specimen of competition
gone mad. More money is lost by
newspapers of this city each year than
I should care to count. The spectacle
of so great a number of business peo¬
ple engaged in thrusting on the public
every morning and evening tons of pa
paper for which they pay at least 2!4
cents a pound and which they send
forth in a form that must bring loss in
each individual copy astonishes me.
"In truth, I seen no development or
inprovemeut in the newspapers here
since my visit to New York three
years years ago. Wo may have much
to learn on the other side in the man¬
agement of the press, but you have
more to learn in conducting news¬
papers as business propositions. There
are exceptions here; hut, as a rule, the
extravagance of management, the lav¬
ish output of papers and practically
the unrestricted distribution of unsold
copies make oue wonder if the Amer¬
ican genius for business bus not de¬
parted from the newspaper field.
"Generally speaking, it is not true
that a large number of American
newspaper publishers have made grfat
fortunes. Profits in England, with a
very few exceptions, are much larger
than here. John Bull is slow, apa¬
thetic, hut he is not giving away 2
cents for 1 cent.”
RELIGIOUS TRADING STAMP.
System Adopted by u Sunday School
I11 i’hiludelphlu.
Since a downtown Sunday School in
Philadelphia has adopted the trading
stamp fad the question natui’ally
arises, What will St Peter think of
them? But, leaving St. Peter entirely
out of the question, the fact remains
that the Sunday school has adopted
the system, as witness the rules gov¬
erning the competition.
“Stamps will be given as follows;
“One stamp for every cent given in
Sunday school.
“One stamp for punctual attendance
at Sunday school.
"Two stamps for punctual attendance
at holy eucharist.
"One stamp for perfect lessons.
"Twenty-five stamps for bringing a
new scholar.
“If he remains tw'euty-five more
stamps will be given.
“This book will be subject to 10 per
cent discount for every bad conduct
mark received.
“N.> B.—Be careful not to lose the
book, as the stamps In it will not be
duplicated.
