Booker Waihlnrtoi the bine.
Washington Post.
A Boston person cf the
name of Robert Treat Paine,
r, has abandoned the Demo
cratic party to its fate and
gone over to the Roosevelt
cause. Tt.roust be an impor
tant event, for the press takes
up his explanation:
"1 am democrat enough
still to feel that I want the
President of this country to
bd democratic enough to
meet any man whose eharac
ter deserves it at nnv func
tion. I have myself dined with
Booker Washington, and
would consider it a privelege
ugain to do so.
"Does .not v this dilemma
ice Mr. Parker: If elected
President and if, there were
in Washington a . gathering
of the. most eminent educa
tors in this country,, among
whom Booker Washington
would be, inevitably classed,
and the Piesident 'wished
naturally enough to show
due recognition and honor
to this gathering and invited
them to th9 White House,
would be bar out Booker
Washington?
"Would he rbaye a Jin
crow', pantry oenina toe
house to which Booker Wash
ington might be shunted off?
"On the other band, if
Parker, as President, should
ask Booker Washington to
the White House,, would not
the whole South again raise
the, cry .that , they, had been
bunkoed in their candidate?"
We do not recall Mr. Rub
ert Trent, Paine. Jr. It is
said that he has been four
times offered the Democratic
nomination for Governor of
Massachusetts, but he can
not have been elected on any
of those occasions f,or surely
we would .have, beard of it.
Otherwise, he seems to have
recanted . bis old faith. . be
cause further adherence to it
would bar him from inviting
Booker Washington to a fam
ily dinner. He doesn't seem
to care much about the tar
iff or the Philippines, or Re
publican extravagance, or
any other of the issues over
which the parties are conten
ding. , Apparently be has
thought it all over or iraag
ines that he has, which comes
to the same thing and now
reaches the conclusion that a
party not pledged to the ac
ceptance ot Booker Washing
ton as a parlor ornament
and bosom friend, is. unwor
thy of the respect and confl
denee of any true Bostonian
Naturally, it will injure the
Democratic cause to lose a
vote in Massachusetts. . In a
close con test, like this, even
a solitary defectiDn in that
state, or in Vermont, Texas,
or Georgia, means every-
thing. But who is - Mr. Rob
ert Trent Paine Jr., and why
is he at large.

T. I am, so taken and ac

8. How doyou know your

T,; In seeking food, by. be
ing often denied, but always
willing to try again.
B. How shall I know you
to be a tramp?
T. By the largeness of my
feet and general carnivorous
appearance. :
S. How gained you adtnis
sion to this town?
T. By rrany long and weu
risome tramps.
S. How were you received?
T. On the end of the night
policetnau's billy presented
to my head.
S.1 How did the policeman
dispose of you?

asked and answers exchang
ed.
8. How did the policejudge
dispose of , you?
' T.ij He ordered roe to walk

SOME SEASONABLE ADVICK.
It may be a piece of.euperiiu
oils advice to urge people at this
season ol the year to lay in a sup
ply of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy. It is almost as sure to be
ueeded before winter is over, and
much more prompt and satielac
lory results are obtained when
tnken as soon as a cold is con
tracted and before it has become
settled in the system, which can
only bo done by keetnnjr the rem
edy at hand. This remedy is so
widely known and so altogether
good that no one should hesi
tate about buying it in prefer
ence to an other. It is for sale

The campaign bookmakers
labored long and hard and

you accept their figures as
gospel truth that there are
no real trusts, trust have
not put prices tip, and that
in fact prices have, pot gone
up, Thy bhow, for example,
what a weak, puny, little
harmless affair our billion
dollar steel trust is pro
ducing but little more than
one-half our steel output.
They say that "it is obvious
that a company producing
only one half of any given
article entering a given mar
ket could not maintain ex
cessively high prices." The
misrepresentation in these
tatements, i8 in the fact
that as to many ot the fin
ished products of steel the
trust has an almostabsolute
ly monoplv and can and
does charge exboibitant
prices, as is demonstrated by
its export prices : of those
same goods. In tin plates,
barbed wire, wire, nails, and
many other articles, the
trust has a virtual monopoly
of our market and charges
nw f roirj 30 to. 100 per cent,
more than it charges foreign
era for these goods.

products', such us steel rails,
billet plates, structured work
etc., in which it produces. .00

put, it has "gentleman'aa-
greemeats" with other manu
ufacturers which enable it,
to get the full benefit of the
high tariff duties on these
good". In this way it gets
$28 a ton for steel rails sold
in this country, while selling
them abroad for $18 and
$20. It gets $32 for plates
here which it sells in England
at $18.
It is a pity that these little
corrections could not have
been obtained in time for in
serting in their campaign
