A sudden attack on the corpora- ions is 1 to permanovtly iwmpair their health and deprive the people of b chauce to do some fall plaut oV illness o vigorous pay without a DANUER OF EXTRAVAGANCE. If congress falls into ways of extrava- gance it wiil not be for the reason that it has not heen amply warned not to do Itepublican newspapors have been frank in pointing out the danger that was threatening in vhis divection, and last Week Senator Hawloy, in the course of his remarks 1n opposition to the Blair bill, made & strong point against that measure by showing the tendency of the present congress to extravas gance and the necessity of ealling a halt. He pointed out that while the cstimated revenues of the government for the next fiseal year will be four hundred million the necessary and proposed appropriations egate of flve hun- dred and wwenty million dollars, or an excess of appropriations over revenues of more than seventy million dollars. It i3 manifestly idle to talk about reducing taxes and remc du- ties if such policy of extrava- gance as is contemplated in the numer- ous ways for spending money that have been suggested is carried out. T'he most urgent demand of the ple now is for relief, as fur as it ticable to give it, from the burden im- posed by the large revenues which tho government already requives. There are undoubtedly a number of things which it desiv the govern- ment should do the line of public improv and somo of which may with- out adding to the demands upon the ro- sourees of the people, but it is necessary that all expenditures not absolutoly es- sential shall he deferred until a time whien the publie prosperity will warrant waking them. At a period of geneval depression 1t is not good policy to vote money out of the treasury for auything that cun safely wait, and if the party in control of the government does this it must expect to suffer when the people again have an opportunity to pass judgment on its conduct. It is per- feetly clear that the safo course for the sublican majority in congress is to do all that is practicable to lighten the weight that is now bearing heavily upon the whole people, and especiully upon the agricultural population. It should set its face firmly agaiost every proposul of unoecessary expenditure, with whatever plausibility presented, and give its attention to providing measures that will give relief tothe peo- ple and help to vestore prosperity 1n all departments of activity., The should be no politics nor party in this question of doing something that will remove the business depression, put new life and energy into the industries of the country, and enable the people to sense of hardship the rovernment’s demands upon them, it is & matter of statesmanship. applying 1 equal degree to men of all partics, with which partisan politics has noth- ing whatever to do, yet from the point of view of party intevest it is obviously the wise thing for the party in power to do. There is renson to that the republican leaders in congress see the duty of the party in this divection, and that they will not allow its chances two years henco to be jeopardized by the adoption of a policy of extravagance which the people would bo very suro to condemn.

NOBODY TO BLAME, The verdict of the coroner’s jury in the ense of Carl Loenheisen is adouble The jury declaves nable, and that does not attach Jjointed conelusion. that nobody is bl ‘eriminal negligenee to any particular porson. Yet in the same breath the jury censures the com- pany for not providing gates on the in- side of platforms, and says that “more care should be exercised by the com- and its employes by hav- ing under control when meet- ing and especially at steeet intersec tians.” In other words, the jury saysto the compuny. “We'll forgive you this time, butdon’t do it again.” If no pe of eriminal negligence why was it for the jury to censure the company and demand greater cave in the handling of trains? If the train crew sufticient care to relieve them of responsibiliy, how can the jury justify itself in de manding greater cave? The truth is that the running of mo- tor trains, especially on the Mercer line is notoriously reckless. The $ N0 excuse or justification for the speed maintained on the crowded thorough wnd measures should be promptly taken to bring the motor races toan end. Had ordinary cave been ex- ercised by the crew of the unfortu- nate train, Saturday’s tragedy would have been averted. The train from which the vietim alighted had stopped av the erossing, but before he could re- alize his peril the opposite train, run- ning at a speed of from six to eight milesan hour, strack him down and dragged the body thirty or forty feet. And yet the coroner’s jury finds nobody to blame!
