The democrats are very vigorous at
the present time in their denunciation
of trusts. But this is all done for
effect. Ii l. the most contemplate kind
of demagoguery that any party has ev-
er practiced. Let us see. Matters re-
lating TO trusts, so far as national leg
islation is concerned, must 90 before
the Ways and Means Committee of the
House of Representatives. Six of the
eight democratic members of that COM
mittee are going through the country
bowling against trusts, asserting that
they are the legitimate offspring of a
protective tariff, and by so doing are
neglecting their duties, and breaking
up the quorum of the committee to
which they belong. In this committee
there slumber resolutions concerning
trusts which they dare not disturb. 1t
is impossible TO gain hearing III that
committee for anything denunciatory
Of trusts. Why? For this simple rea-
son: the Sugar trust, the Whiskey
trust, the Standard Oil trust, the An
thracite trust, all contain democrats
who are helping on this campaign with
their money. Ii is well enough Cor
these Congressional orators of the DEM
ocratic party to 60 through the country
and stir up the poor democrats against
trusts and through this against the tar
if, but in the very spot where their ac-
ton would mean something they will
not lift a finger and seemingly do not
care TO, because, forsooth. the rich men
of the party might be disturbed. This
is in line with the honesty and consist
ency Of the democratic party.

The following questions have been
sent US by an esteemed correspondent
which we will answer with pleasure as
best we can:
Is perjury a State Prison offence
and how long is the term of imprison-
mentF 1t is. Time ID years or less,
aud a fine of $1,000 or less.
?. Does the crime of perjury outlaw
and in what time! 1t outlaws in three
years from the time the offence was
committed.
3 Would il be considered perjury for
a man to leave out a thousand dollars
in giving in his list or making out his
Inventory? Yes, if done Intentionally.
4 Has any one in this state ever been
imprisoned for the same? Not that we
can discover.
> What is the fine and for what num-
ber of years back would man be lia-
bic to prosecution? The same as I'M
der the general law for perjury.
6 Are the Inventories destroyed ev-
cry three years They cannot be made

We have a communication from a
man in Stockbridge in reference to
what we said about road repairs. We
did not intend to approve of the old sys-
tenn entirely, but we think some fea-
lures of it might be retained to adyan-
tage, and especially that feature which
gives men an opportunity to work out
their own tax when they desire to do
so. Some men, in these times find II
much harder to pay money than work.
This should be rendered under careful
surveillance and fraud prevented. We
think it woull secure prompter action
and better winter roads. There are
some roads in some towns that couldn't
easily be worse under any system For
ins ance, the road from Cobb bridge to
the top of Sheldon hill is a disgrace to
our civilization through at least one
quarter of the year,or such il has been
in the past. Perhaps a remedy has been
applied. II our correspondent can con-
triye a law that will compel his town
or any other party to put that piece of
highway into a wholesome condition
and keep it SO through the entire year
he will deserve the thanks Of long
suffering public.

The present administration has a re-
markable faculty OF putting its foot
into it. The President must be a
near relative Of Mrs. Malaprop. -
When Cutting got himself into trouble
ard was properly in the hands OF the
Mexican authorities great ado was
made until he was released, but when
an American citizen was uniustly de-
tanned in Cuba it refused to interfere
for his release. 1t would not retaliate
upon Canada for cause, but does retail
late upon China without cause. When
a treaty with China that was satisfac-
tory to the Pacific Coast was under
consideration by the Chinese govern
ment the Scott exclusion bill must be
hurried through the House of Repres-
entatives, an act so palpably unfrieudly
that the Chinese government could not
consistently with proper self-respect do
otherwise than it has done. The whole
thing is a miserable mistake which will
some day react upon us.

The utter disregard of the principles
Of civil service by the democrats is re-
ceiving fresh Illustration in the removal
Of a large number Of the most efficient
postal clerks on New England routes.
The reason, of course, is for the pur-
pose Of making room for the servants
Of the party, and the result is an inef-
icient service. Repubieanism is a
crime in the times that are upon us.
But we look for something better when
the Tittlebat Titmouses OF the present

PatrOnize Home Industry

George f. Moran OF the Chicago Times
has filed his contract with Secretary
Wheelright of the Chamber of Commerce
IN which he agrees to publish IN the
Times 400 lines OF readint matter descrip-
tive of Tacoma. These articles are to be
prepared and submitted to Secretary
Wheelright and f. l.. Sawyer before they

The above paragraph affords some
insight to the methods adopted by Il
high-pressure community for keeping
steam up to the greatest limit. tmav
seem like presumption for residents of
slow" community to criticise
means adopted which have been fol-
lowed by success, whether such nota-
bic details have contributed to It or
not, but it does sceni that the payment
! u the highest advertising rates in
journals OF supposed influence in the
East, is the most visionary and absurd
means for inducing immigration to a
new country. The very fact that full
advertising rates are paid and the
matter appears to be no secret from
the explicit manner in which the an
nouncement is made) wherever known
will cause the 400 lines OF reading
matter, descriptive OF Tacoma" to fall
about as fiat as the average immigra-
ton document, which would not cost
more than one-tenth the amount by
the 100000.
Olympia tried the plan of "foreign''
advertising few years age by invest
ing several hundred dollars in Smalley's
Northwest, which might just as well
have been thrown into the bay for all
the practical good that resulted. The
fact is, anything that will be accepted
as authoritative and trustworthy by
an intelligent and critical people mus
emanate from the community which i.
to attract attention. If it hires {
newspaper whose interest in the mat
ter ceases the moment the money il
paid for its services, it employs an ad
, vocate of doubtful expcdiency, to sa,
the least, and the fact remains paten
to all that the sinews OF war" Nigh
/ have been used in nerving the arms o.
those who have entered the lists a
champions and are fighting Valiant,
, for our advancement.
The deduction we wish drawn is oh
vious. Sustain your home newspapers
, Lend your support to everything which
will aid them in becoming proper ex
ponents of your cause. They ar
crippled by want of sympathy, an,
often by the diversion of their legiti
patronage to other and less deservin,
sources. The 400 lines in the Chicago
Times at 1925 per line may, possibly
yield satisfactory returns, but it is no
as probable as if the money had beef
expended in extending the circulation
} of the very creditable newspapers pub
lished in that city.

WORD has been received that the
Chinese lepers in British Columbia
have communicated their terrible NAL
ady to the Indians, who, in that prov
ince, number $1,000. Senator McIn-

states that out of the total Indian pop

placed at 10000, he believes that there
will not be 5000 livi ,g in quarter OF
a century as a result Of the leprosy
The Columbia authorities have for
several years been officially informed
that the presence of the Chinese lep-
ers, but took little or no action against
them, fearing that the agitation of the
subject would turn away the tide OF
immigration coming from Europe.
