The National Republican Congressional Committee has called for a dollar a head, from the republicans of the country, wherewith to carry on the im portant campaign for the maintenance of congressional supremacy. In the light of the magnificent work done at the last session, by that party, the cost weri a bagatelle if the men and the work shall be perpetuated, and every partizan in the nation actually subscribe to the fund. There is no cost too great that secures a manifest advantage to the whole people such as must accrue from the continuance of the present good in fluences radiating from the party cen ters, and no member of the great orga nization will begrudge the paltry dol lar that "make good." It is only nec essary now that the head go with the dollar; the brain to back the coin on its way to success; the heart to Btand for the tasks and do them, as they were done a few months ago. The democracy Is straining every point it possesses to defeat the dominant party, knowing that unless it does, it is doomed to extinction in the ensuing few years; they will leave nothing undone to rout the republicans from their stronghold in the public confidence, and will light as only men fight for a forlorn hope. The utter strength and prestige of the republican party, in numbers, wealth, influence, purpose, must be brought to bear in all its fine significance and po tency, to hold the ground it has achieved, against the re-united demo cracy, and its allies. The fight is to be the greatest in many years and there mut be no bad generalship at any point of the wide campaign. One dollar, or ten dollars, whatever is essential, must be given. But, beyond the dollar, lies the vital requisite of a popular platform whereon the strongest, cleanest, best men of the country shall stand for the good of the nation. The republicans must go back to the country offering nothing less than they have given; there can be So lapsing from the high ground they now occupy; no cheap make-shifts in men nor measures; the work ahead is rich in superb records if the party is alive to the opportunity, and the country ex pects much from those that have done so much. 0 . CRAZY IN SPITE OF HIMSELF. The other day an absurd story was going the rounds of the press of a man Who, under the impression that he had committed a capital offense against the laws, was insisting, by every cunning process that brain and money could de vise, to invoke a sentence to, and incar ceration in, the penitentiary.' And now, after the most con vicing declarations a to his own sanity, Harry Thaw is to be declared insane by his attorneys in be half of his acquittal of the crime of murder already self-confessed. This is a funny old world. Its a wild medley of things one can't get, and things one don't want being thrust upon one! . 0 It has cost $4,000,000 less to manage the New York, Equitable and Mutual Life insurance companies during the, past 12 months than was charged up to the policyholders during the preceding year. TRANS-SIBERIA-ALASKA. V are permitted to give out the simple statement that the American Syndicate, just empowered by the Km pcror of Russia, to broach the work of the great Trans Siberia-Alaska Railway, will use thi city as it first Pacific Coat terminal for a series of years, until it shall determiue the expediency of pro ceeding further. Details will be re leased early in the fall. We regtvt the baffling uncertainty of thi report; but the interests involved are so large that the utmot caution is necessary, and wo refrain only in deference to the safe guarding of s'ecrets not our own. ' 0 1 EVERYTHING. While it neither adds to man' or woman' looks or comfort to lie bald headed, people so afflicted may be com forted by the statement just made by a high medical authority that baldness is more, common among intellectual per sons than among any others. It is of fre quent occurrence among all who are subject to intense mental strain and it may occur comparatively early. With the increase of civilization baldness ha become more and more common and one scientist goes so far as to say that since woman has developed broader and deeper intellectual and interests she has lost much of the strength and wealth of her "crowning glory." Baldness has be come progressively more frequent in women in the last century or more. 0 000000000000000000 0 EDITORAL SALAD. 0 00000000000 00000 00 Postmaster General Cortelyou is very strongly in favor of a world letter rate of 2 ceats. 0 The fear is beginning to be felt that the Panama canal will drag along for the next 23 year. 0 The divorce congress is said to favor ten causes for divorce. One is enough in most instances. 0 Altogether too many good Christian people go through life leaving a long record of wasted opportunities. 0 New Jersey has lost 1500 corporations and barely mioses them. The mother of trusts is not thinking of race suicide. 0 Four of the biggest flouring mills in Minneapolis have shut down, the owners giving a a reason that "there is no de mand for flour. , ... , r 1 in 0 The National Public Ownership Party has been formed at Fresno, Cal. It gets its start in a hot town, and ought to be able to keep steam up. 0 The young married women of Mason City, Iowa, have formed an anti-race suicide club. We shall hear more about that Iowa town in the future. 0 How many there are willing to buy beer for those who don't want it, but unwilling to give a nickel to buy bread for those who are suffering with hunger, o The top of the Singer building in New York City is to be 603 feet high. National pride should move congress to add about 50 feet to the height of the Washington monument. 0 An interesting fact in regard to dia monds is that it is not uncommon for the crystals to explode as soon as they are brought up from the mine. Some times they have burst in the pockets or the warm hands of miners, due to the effect of increased temperature. Large stones are more likely to do this than small ones. Valuable stones have been destroyed in this way. Some dealers imbed large diamonds in a raw potato for safe transport from South Africa. 0 "How will you have your aig cooked?" asked the waiter. "My what!" "I said how will you have your aig cooked?" 'Young lady," said the customer, "you speak in a singular fashion. Can't you make it plural?"
