Faith in Themselves.
PHILADELPHIA Ledoer.


The American people have great
deal of faith in themselves. Their
Judgment is not disturbed by the
statements of political orators or or
gans that so vigorously contend that,
unless this candidate or that be elected,
the country's prosperity will fall into
wreck and ruin. They have listened
to the facts, the law and the argument,
and they will find a true verdict on the
9th of November. They trust them
selves to do it, and they may be trust
ed to do it, for it is their own welfare
which is to be served by just verdict.
They are going about their business of
manufacturing, sowing and reaping,
buying and selling, sending ships back
to sea, marrying and giving in mar
riage, as if there were no such thing as
politics. This does not imply indiffer-
ence on their part, but supreme conf
dence in the wisdom and justice of the
majority, whose will is law.

Just the Difference.
Portland Advertiser.

Greatly, what difference does it
make if loaf of bread does cost one
cent more ?" This is the question put
by the man Hutchinson, who has just
made million or two by cornering
the wheat market. 1t does not make
much difference to sold Hutch" but it
makes a great difference in the run of
year with poor people in the great
cities.

The Coming Election.

A week from next Tuesday, Nov. 6,
the people are to choose President and
Vice President for the coming four
years. There never was presidential
election 80 near at hand in which there
was more doubt as to- the result. Pri-
vate advices from New York give the
balance now in favor of the election of
Harrison. One thing is pretty certain,
the country is not going to everlasting
smash the next four years whoever is
elected, the partisan papers and ora
tors to the contrary Notwithstanding.

NEWS OF THE WEEK.
A Novel Robbery at Boston.

A curious robbery was committed at
Boston last week Wednesday after
noon at w. NJ. Maynard's, broker jew
eler on Brattle square, while the pro-
prietor was absent. The place was
closed and the thieves visited the store
with pail of whitewash, brush and
a step-ladder, and thus disguised were
not suspected. They proceeded to
whitewash the outside of the windows,
so outsiders would be unable to look
into the store, and then gained access
through the transOm over the front
door, using the ladder for the purpose.
The robbers escaped with seven trays
of gold and silver watches and dia-
mOnds valued at $1,000 or $500.
The Rand, Avery company, the larg-
est printing house in Boston, assigned
Friday to Nathaniel j. Bradlee. Their
liabilities are about $4,000; assets
estimated over $40O, 900.

married Sunday to Miss Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps at her summer residence
at East Gloucester. Professor Phelps
of Andover, the brides father, per-
formed the ceremony.
Col. R. M. Pulsifer, president of the
Boston Herald Association, committed
suicide Saturday by taking poison. His
credit had become impaired through
reckless speculation, and it is thought
dependency drove him to take his life.
The Cannon Ball express, on the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, which left
Cincinnati Thursday night, ran into
an open switch near the Washington
(Pa.) depot about $50 o'clock Friday
morning, and was precipitated over a
trestle, distance of 10 feet. The
train was running at high rate of
speed, and was almost completely
wrecked. The engineer and one pas
senger were killed instantly, and about
20 were injured, some seriously.

Something Dropped.
Boston Record.


All Vermont is on a broad grin at
Uncle Hiram Atkins, and with good
reason. The slick spokesman started
out on an assessing expedition the 9th
er day and like Col. Cholley he ran a
gainst snag He went in his tour to
the postoffice of Fletcher, which, being
of small account and having salary of
only. $25 year attached, a republican
has been allowed to hold. In some
mysterious manner this fact seems to
have been overlooked by Mr.. Atkins,
and he demanded of the postmaster
voluntary contribution of $50 to the
democratic campaign fund. When the
postmaster invited Mr.. Atkins to in
quire of other officials more under his
thumb, something struck the floor
thuddingly. Ii was Mr.. Atkins lower
jaw.

mP0RTANT TO VOTERs.
Those Who Desire to Exercise the Kight
Must Register.

As is announced the books for the grand
registration Of the citizens OF Butte will be
opened at the City Hall on the morning OF
May 1 and will close on the evening OF
May 10. As one Sunday ~intervenes it will
lie apparent that there are only nine DAYS
left in which to record the ame The
increased limits has added largely to the
number OF electors, yet the tim is sufficient
for all who desire to be enrolled to do 80.
The trouble has been heretofore that men
who should know better have remained
away until the last day and then found 1t
impossible to get their names in the books.
In the matter of registration the law OF
Montana is clear and explicit. 1t provides
that tine books shall be kept open a stated
period and that only the names OF those
who have been registered shall be accepted
as voters ON election day. There is no
swearing in. and Therefore it behooyes all
who desire to vote, t. call early and see
that his name is on the list. II this be not
done there will be numbers of disappointed
ones, and they will be tempted to blame
others, where they will have only them
selves to blame. It is also well to remem-
Der that the old list does not count, that
the voter must appear in person, and that
under the redistricted city there is liable
in some cases to be q confusion as to wards.
All this can be obviated by answering
clearly and promptly the questions OF the
registering officer who will see that the loca-
ton is-properly made.

This to ensure peace-not for further con-

Truss and Workinymen,

New York Herald: What is a trust
anyhow" writes a workman to FIJI,
Herald. 1--WE read a good deal just nov o
trusts, but would like you to explain pre-
ciseiy what they are and how they affectius
workingmeu."
Well, listen. A trust is a combination
OF manufacturing capitalists to check pro.
ductlon, feed the market with only a lin.
tied supply OF their goods, and thus keen
prices high. Their aim is to manufactur,
less and charge more. But if they make
less goods that means that they will employ
fewer workmen, or give those they keen on
less steady work. Hence a trust ia a hlow
at the workman.
If there were no high protective duties
trusts would be impossible, lecause the
moment manufacturers here combine to
limit production and raise prices. that
moment goods would rush in from abroad
to supply the market. It is the high tariff
therefore, which is the basis of trusts. The
tariff shuts out foreign goods; thereupon
manufacturing capitalists combine to limit
production and raise prices at home: and
IN doing this they naturally injure their
own torkmen, because they deprive them
OF full work, and injure the people at large
by forcing them to pay artiicially high
prices for goods.
One example will show how a trust in
lures workingmen. When the salt duty
was high in Michigan and Syracuse salt
monopoly hired the Great Kanawha salt
works in West Virg mia to stand idle. That
is to say, the salt trust paid the owners of
these works a fixed sum per year to make
salt. They did not pay the men who
had founde employment in these works a
cent. The workmen were turned out neck
and heels to shift for themselves. But the |
capitalist owners of the works were paid
That is now a trust affects
and protected capitalists.
