What a proud figure he cut, to be sure, with the Nobel medal pinned upon his breast, and the eternal chir lightly balanced on both shoulders! And the Big Stick, of course, coyly-peeping out of his coat-tail pockets! Why, then, next year we may fairly exjKH that the Peace Prize will go to the master of the Mailed Fist to "Ich und Gott;" and the year after that to the philanthropic Leopold; and the year after that who knows? to that archangel of peace, Weyler.

The recommendation for an income tax is received by the democrats with great satisfaction, but the question of what taxes are to bo repealed to make placo for the a moderate income tax would produce is a question that avoided by the republicans. The democrats all asreo that theJtarilT thould be reduced so as to eliminate protection to the trusts, but a republican president and a republican congress have agreed to stand pat on the tarilT and and continue to allow the trusts and monopolies to plunder us by law. Till; letting of the contracts for the Panama canal has been again postponed until January 12th, for it has been discovered that no contractors would hid under the conditions imposed. It has also been figured out that of the appropriated by congress for the work only $71,000,000 remains unexpended and as the cost will bo three or four limes that amount, it will require another appropriation by congress before the contracts can be let. These are only a few of the principal complications that our strenuous administration has created.

A picture makes an ideal gift something that does not wear out and is long prized. The Pops and the President. The populists party of Kansas will disband but before the leaders agree to disband they will hold a conference and Chairman Hanna declares they will advise their followers to join the republican party, as "President Roosevelt is doing the things now that we advocated ten years ago when we were laughed at." "We are all for Roosevelt," declares this enthusiastic Roosevelt convert, "and we are going to get into his party." It has been rather dry picking for the Populists leaders in Kansas since the republicans came back intop wer and they evidently want a chance at the postodices, or "something equally as good." As the rank and file of the old populist party are readers of the newspapers, they should refer to the president's late message and read, mark, learn and inwardly digest what he says there about "the impracticable or sinister visionaries," evidently meaning the populists, and a little further along where the president recommends congress to allow the railroads to combine. Is that what populists having been striving for? Can any populist, or for that matter anyone else, point to any act of the president or congress in the past ten years that has resulted in reducing freight rates or lowering the high prices the tariff, protected trusts are charging? of all sizes, kinds and prices to suit all ages and all pocket books.
