The Trnst Evil.

Senator Reagan's bill to abolish trusts per-
haps comes too late in the session for a
thorough and Intelligent discussion Of the
points involved.
The bill may need amendment, but it is a
step in the right direction. 1t defines
trust as follows:
That a trust is ia combination of capital or skin
by two or more persons for the following purposes:
First-to create or carry out restrictions on trade;
second-to limit, TO reduce, or TO increase the pro-
ducuon or price of merchandise or commodities;
thhd-to prevent competition in the manufacture,
making, sale OF purchase OF merchandise or com
modities; fourth-to create monopoly.
Mr.. Reagan proposes TO punish the men,
hers of such trusts by fning and imprison-
ing them, and as a matter Of course this is
the only way to break them up. Some are
of the opinion that it is a matter 10 be dealt
with by the states, but as all or nearly all
trusts extend their operations beyond sin
gle state, these combinations are subject 10
the constitutional provision giving congress
the right TO regulate commerce between the
states
The object Of trust is to establish mo
nopoly, and TO make larger profits by de-
creasiug cost, limiting production and in
creasing the price to the consumer. The
sugar trust has already increased the price
f of sugar 10 the consumer half a cent a
pound, and may 70 beyond this figure il it is
not checked by law.
Is trust contrary TO pu5ic policy? 4

Genuine War History.

We have more than once made the point
that our so-called war histories deal almost
entirely with big generals, campaigns, bat
ties, and particular armies and regiments.
They fail to tell us anything about the daily
life of the private soldier in camp and on
the march.
A northern soldier has made a start in
the right direction by writing book enti-
tied, lizard Tack and Coffee" He tells
how he enlisted, all about his life in the
camp of instruction, in barracks, in huts
and in tents, the mastering in, the visits Of
home people, the march to the front, the
punlshments inflicted upon soldiers, the
distribution of rations, the difficulties
encountered in foraging, and thousand
other matters.
All these details belong to genuine war
history, but book written by union SOL
der covers only half the ground. The life
of q southern soldier was essentially differ
ent, crowded with hardships and privations
to which the well-fed, well-clad soldiers Of
thenorth were strangers.
The story OF a confederate soldier, faith
fully told In the plain but graphic language
of the camp, would make a book that would
be the best thing in our war literature. 1t
would be read, and it would sell, and bring
some little fame, besides comfortable
remuneration to its author.

MIR. Randall at Work Again.

The New York Tribune calls Hon. Sam
Randall and Hon. w. l.. Scott to account
for allowing the use of their names as
members Of the democratic state executive
committee of Pennsylvania. The Tribune
says:
The democratic state committee of Pennsylvania
has sent out circular making the sensational de-
claraion that it Is proposed to contest that state
seriously with the republicans, not only for local
and legislative Offices but the presidential vote.
We observe by the way, that the names OF the Hon.
VIM. l. Scott and the Hon. Samuel J. Randall ap-
pear on this circular, as members of the state
ecutiye committee This circular has, in all proba-
hility, gone TO federal Office holders, and, if so,
Messrs Scott and Randall, being members of con-
gress, are violating the law in permitting their
names to be used TO extort money fIom them.
We trust that the Tribune, in its frantic
effort to inject some life in the republican
campaign, win not allow itself to get ex-
cited at the increasing evidences of demo-
cratic victory.
OF course, the agitation made apparent
by the above comment, is due to the fact
that Mr., Randall, though sick, has enlisted
for the campaign. This is calculated to
bear heavily on the republican heart, for
when they recall how Randall saved the
democracy in 1854, it is with feeling of
deep uneasiness that they look forward to a
possible repetition of the same thing in 1883.
The Tribune's complaint is not worthy of
attention, except from the fact that 1t con-
veys the pleasing information that Mr. Ran
dali is once more in the democratic front
lie can do more than any other single innu-
| enee in behalf of the democracy in the
states of Pennsylvania, New York and New
! Jersey, and the simple knowledge of the
fact that he has enlisted for the party, will
/ be worth thousands of votes in these states,
! as it was four years ago.
/ MIR. Randall has proven his democracy at
! times when other men might have sulked,
/ and yet there are democratic newspapers in
/ the country which not only do not give him
/ credit for his services but do not allow him
that friendly consideration 10 which he is
certainly entitled.

Not the Time for Apathy.


Mr. Brice, chairman of the national demo-
cratic committee, denies that he made the
remark attributed TO him by Mr., MacBride,
of the Cincinnati Enquirer, who reported
him as saying that the republicans had an
advantage over the democrats, in that they
had ga candidate who helps himself
Colonel Brown of the New York Daily
News, an earnest democrat, who was pres
ent al the lunch with Mr.. Mac Bride and Mr..
Brice, says:
Mr. MacBhde was invited to dinner with me by
MI Brice The conversation we had was nfden-
tiaL. At least regarded il so. ! believed three
democrats could exchange views even though two
were newspaper men, without having the substance
Of 1t teegrapAed all over the country.
We are glad that Mr.. Brce denies being
guilty Of having made such foolish re-
mark, and lie deserves full credit for his
statement.
There is another thing, however, which
Dir. Brice has not denied, and that is the
statement attributed to him that the demo-
Gratis did not seem to be alive to the impor-
tant fight which they had on hand-in other
words, that they were apathetic.
Why this talk OF apathy q: this time? The
New York Herald makes the statement that
democratic congressman and leaders in
Washington are dissatisfied with the man
agement of the campaign, and complain Of
lack Of energy. "There is a disposition"
says the Heralds Washington correspond
ent, "shown by the executive committee to
make the administration responsible for
their hardness, apathy, incidence, or what
ever the eause may be for not inspiring
greater confidence in the result of their
management"
There is evidently something wrong, and
judging by indications, it is the committee,
and not the administration, at fault. What
we need is an active, vigorous, pushing
campaign. Apathy is not good omen at
this time. The field is the place for every
democrat, and it will not do for the democ-
racy to depend absolutely for the manage
ment of a successful campaign on single
committee. The national committee is
composed of good, earnest, sturdy demo-
Gratis, who will no doubt do everything in
their power for democratic victory, but
they cannot whip the fight without the help
of the great democratic party. The admin
istration cannot be expected to prostitute its
high Office by sacrificing public duty to
enter actively into the campaign. The
president has his duties to perform, and the
executive committee cannot expect him to
take part in the active management Of the
campaign.
The president cannot be accused Of apathy
then where does the fault lie? If there is
any, it is with the leaders, who, thus far,
have shown disposition to let the execu-
tive committee and the administration do
the work.
Let the democracy turn out. Let every
man be a missionary. Go into a committee
of the whole, as it were, and by such united
effort the battle can be whipped in a short
time.
But let us have no more talk of apathy
between now and November.

The Farmers and the DaegIng TRUST.

The bagging trust which has been formed
by wealthy monopolists to squeeze the cotton
growers of the south, is a more serious
thing than our farmers seem to think. The
combination formed raises the price of cot
ton bagging 95 to 80 per cent, and this trb-
ute is levied from every farmer in the south
who raises bale of cotton and sends it to
market.
The remedy is in the hands of the farm
ers themselves, and while it is true that
they are not in position to break the out
rageous trust this year, they can go very far
towards doing away with its evils by the
next season. 1t is too late now to inaugu-
rate the independent manufacture of bag
ging to be used this season, and the monop-
olists were wise in delaying the combination
TO so late date, thereby insuring a more
eifeotual grip ON the farmers.
A Farmers Alliance club at Eureka
Springs, Miss, has taken the right step to
break the compact OF the robbers, who have
bought all the bagging in the county and
have raised prices to suit themselves. This
branch of the alliance has adopted the pol
ley OF pledging the farmers Of the south to
and 1t calls for concert OF action among the
farmers to assist in overthrowiug the Blood
trust The following resolutions eoncisely
state the policy adopted by this alliance
| club:
| Whereas spectators have formed y combination
to, and have advanced the price of baggnS So TO 80
per cent therefore, be IL
Resolved by this alliance That we wrap our cot
| ton in cotton cloths
Resolved, That We request all state county and
sub alliances in The ottonerowing states 10 take
| similar action
If the other branches of the alliance in all
parts Of the south were 20 take similar ac-
ton, and if the farmers not connected with
the alliance were 10 cooperate in carrying
out this policy, it would not be long before
the baggng monopolists were brought TO
terms, AS the Memphis Avalanche says,
Sin point OF fact, no packing at all is neces-
sary in the uplands, il some fabric sufli-
GENTLY strong to hold the cotton hooks be
used instead Open basket-work OF white
oak strips would probably serve every pur-
pose, or even parallel strips hid under the
ties, The farmers can easily find means ia
beat the trust people at their own game II
they employ concerted action"
Let our farmers consider the matter and
join in the effort 70 hherate themselves
from the monopoly which looks upon them
as easy prey. IL is probable that they Il

William and His Advisers.

The retirement of General Won Moltke
has reopened the talk about European war.
His successor, General Won Waldersee, be-
longs to the younger German element, which
is generally regarded as being in favor of
an aggressive policy. He is not young
man himself, being ffty-six years of age,
but in Germany a public man scarcely
reaches the prime of his political life until
after that age.
The new general is said not to have the
good viii of Bismarck, as did Won Moltke.
There is some significance in this which,
taken into consideration with his well known
bitter antipathy to Russia, and his anti
French tendency, would indicate that the
Emperor William made the appointment
preparatory to surrounding himself with
younger men of his own sympathy, instead
of the older advisers which We're left as the
Inheritance of his father and grand f4ther
Six years ago the aged Emperor William,
Bismarck, and Won Moltke were the powers
of Germany. Today but one of them re-
mains in the same position as when William
lived, and the displacement of Won Moltke
may be the precursor of a similar fate for
DlS1Hd1ShS
Only few nights ago young William de-
clared in speech that forty-six million
Germans would die rather than give back to
France single rock of Alsace and Lorraine.
He is constantly INDUCING in this sort of
talk, which serves to show that the posi-
bility of war with France at least occu-
pies his attention. The new commander
in-chief of the German army is q close
sympathizer with the emperor and it is prob
able that the two win shape the policy of
the government rather after their own lik-
ing than that of Bismarck.
The chancellor himself is getting old, and
it may be that William will soon conceive
the idea that he ought to be retired after
the fashion of Won Moltke. 1t would GER
tainly surprise nobody if this were done,
but it is safe to say that in such an event
European war talk would be on better
basis than ever.

New York, and putting democrat IN his
place. Quite large and influential ele-
ment of the party in the metropolis have
demanded the head of Postmaster Pearson,
on the ground that he is a republican, APP
pointed by republican president, ana
keeping the immense machinery OF the
office under republican control. This is
natur dampening to democratic ardor,
and the politicians Of the party are clanor-
Gus for a change, not because they think
that Mr.. Pearson does not make good
postmaster, but because they believe in the
old time Jeffersonian doctrine, that the
party in power should, through its APP
pointees, be held responsible TO the people
for It's administration, and they do not like
that responsibility TO he placed in other than
democratic hands.
Mr.. Brice has re-opencd the criticism
which has been made over the presidents
not having displaced Mr.. Pearson, and at
very inopportune time, for it places Mr..
Cleveland between the devil and the deep
sea. II he dspaces Pearson, the mugwump
howl tbereat would shake the continent,
and if he does not there are evidences Of a
protest, from those who think like Mr..
Brce, that would not be conducive TO party
harmony.
Ordinarily, we would say the mugwumps
be doggoned, but in this instance we yield
to the presidents superior judgment. We
regret that Mr.. Brice took occasion to say
what he did, but at the same time we think
the New York Herald criticises him rather
harshly. This esteemed mugwump contem-
porary says:
Mr.. Calvin g. Brice, who is at the lead Of the
democratic campaign, may accept it as kindness
IL We INFORM him that the democratic party is not
to be carried 10 victory by any political nickel plate
railway arrangement 1t will be more useful for
him to hear this in friendly spirit now than to
wait until November, when he may be compelled to
hear 1t in a tone far from friendly.
