H. Said article was conimrnted upon by the t- Register, to the effect Umt most demo crats wlio cliange their politics are not actuated by honest purpose but by hope cr,f romise of gain? AVe little dreamed, however, when we made the Etateuient, hcw-oon we were to hear the proof of Morton's perfidy or learn the reward of his iniquity. It now transt-ires that he hn been appointed secretary of the navy, by Roosevelt, has obtained nine menths leiwe of absence from Jiis com pany and wm sworn into ofliee-on July 1st. Takug the statement of the MM to-be true, and we have no reason to doubt it, that Morton was a democrat, then it goes on record as one of the great est lightening change acts in the history of. political legerdemain; a democrat, republican, 2nd vice-president of a great corporation, secretary of. the U.S. navy, drawing a fat salary from at least two sources, and probably some other things rclueh we have overlooked we a -e not long on statistics- anywav, all within three or four weeks. Evidence, probably, of -the Roosevelt strenuousness; How- ever Flopper Morton, like Alexander, can now squat himself down bv the salt. sad sea and mingle the briny testimony of his grief therewith, because of no mqre worlds to conquer; and if this does not occupy the full measure of his . tiuie he,can put in the balance praying for the reformation of the republican party, hopeless though the task must prove. But our friend of the Mist, yearning for 30fcue narcotic to quiet the maunderings of -his sin-tortured conscience, claims he ha? discovered another flopper. In last -.veeks issue he states that Mr. James Bonser, of Sauvio's Island, has informed him .hat he intends to vote for Roose velt; and calls upon some one. wliose physical design is the par excellence of his ideal of manly shape, to take it up. Our modesty forbids the hope that we cao-fill the specifications laid down hv the Chesterfieldiarteditor of the Mist, but we desire to say that we have no idea that Mr. Bonser anticipates making the race for representative or is looking 'or an appointment in Alaska or even in the president's cabinet. If be contem plates voting for Itoosevelt we presume he is actuated by sincere motives-and is not lookittg for office. AVe make no kick r.t those who change their politics Ihrough honest inducements 15ut the offices throughout the country are so generally filled with renegade democrats as to occasion alarm among thinking people; for the man who flops for office is not trustworthy. Not being Acquaint ed -with Mr. Bonser we are unable to say whether he fear8 coyotes or not, we are no.tsaih with our system overflowing with prophecy, yet we venture the asser tion that neither the fear of coyotes nor the horrors of Gehenna would deter tlagg from hunting office and hunting it hard ( nor is there a panacetr known to iffneient or modern therapeutics that can cure his itch for the same. .One thirfg is certain,: No cOyoto yapped Wlit'rt he left rho dciniScrat p.rrty ; and in' passing fre might jcall attention to the old saying, that .there arc things at Vf) icbreren the dos refuse to bark, County Finance?.

Joe Go'.obick of Colusa, Cahf., writes: "For 15 vears I endured irsufferable pain from Rheuma tism and nothing releived me though I tried everything known. I came across Electric Bitters and it's the greatest medicine on earth for that trouble. A few bottles of-it completely releived and cured me."

Reuntor Gulllugor of New ITainpshlr admitted In his lute speectt In tho sen ate 011 tho blessings and advantages of a protective tariff that tho selling, abruud of manufactured goods ohenpun than in this country was a menus of. disposing of suridus stock nnd to over come, tariffs of other countries. He ulo declared that selling our products cheapen aDroad than hero -wrm AO se cure new inaikeU aud hold them ngaliiHt competition, to keep mills la operation, to get rid ot out of data -goods. Ho nl ho suggested that for these sales cash instead of credit -Is tho -custom nnd that tho expense- of sales abroad hi less than In this country.. This admission . of tho Democratic -claim that tho. trusts aro selling their' products cheaper abroad than hero coming from Senator Ualllngcr, who ln 0110 of the high -priests of tho l'rotec- -tlvo Tariff league, is most important,, for no one -is so well informed of trust doings as ho Is. Hut Senator Gnlllnger should bava explained how a manufacturer who4 disposes of. lis surplus stock abroad at' less than ho has sold tho greater part: of his stock here "to overcoino foreign 1 tariffs" will '-bo benefited "by secnrJng;. new markets and holding them cgalnstT competition" unless ho makes a profit', on these transactions. It is absurd to argue, as Senator Galllpger does, that tho foreigners accept "out of dato goods' and pay cash for them unless, tlioso goods'oro' Bold at n mnoh less- price than slmllnr goods, mnnnfactttrcxla in foreign countries, are sold for. Tho foreign buyers aro not buying "out of r dnto goods" unless at auction prices, . and that trndo would certainly be un profitable to our manufacturers. , JtiMilco io sir. Brlnton. Tho Associated Tress claims to be rc liable about tho 'facts it sends out to tho newspapers,- but H appears to bav- peon entirely nilsictrlri an account ots a banquet of tho Illinois Manufactur ers' association at Chicago last De- ceniber. In it Mr. W B.-. Brinton. ono- of tho speakers, was madeMo nny that no expected serious - trouble between capital nnd labor,- and an article com- -mentlng on this was published ln many newspapers. Mr. Brinton nro- testod that ho did not use tho language- ascribed to him, and from the steno graphic report of lilg speech, which;, lias been furnished by Secretary Glenn of v tho Illinois Manufacturers'!' association, the remarks ascribed to mm by the-Associated Press, which were commented upon, do mot nnnenr. This correction is considered tho more necessary as the speech of Mr. Brintoa was of the 'most fair and temperate) -nature and shows big sympathy withl tho laboring men in bis employ and Lis anxiety, to better their condition. ... . i . Another Scandal Coming;. The war department is now run ont 1 such nn extravagant baBls that a mat ter of a million or two evidently seems -nothing to those who have the order ing of -how tbe Thllipplne funds BhalF be expended. When the matter la finally t investigated, another scandali will be added which, will probably ex -cel thoso already charged to this- ad-v mlnistraUon. 4 .. '
