Tne ISTgLL1GEHcER is IN receipts OF tne
two addresses delivered in Chicago by
the Hon. ]. Sterling Morton, secretary
OF Agriculture, which caused so many
oranges to jump on him. They are
gpirited, interesting addresses, and the
I-xrELL1aExczR is glad to have them IN
convenient pamphlet form. The pam
phlet bears tho imprint OF Baltimore
concern and is a very neat production.
THE imprint Of a private concern an
swers the criticism that tho pamphiet
was set up in the government pruning
office, printed on a government press
and was produced at the public cost.
But there is q little matter connected

comes without postage, under the otil-
cial penalty cover, which reads: ~. 3.
Department of Agriculture. Oltlclal
Business. Penalty for private use $500.
The pamphlet is not issued by the de-
partment of agriculture; is not official
bueincss; the cover has been put to a
private use. Here is n clear violation OF
the law, and Mr.. Morton is liable in the
sum of $500 for every n OF these DIN
cial covers he has used.
II his colleague in the cabinet, At
torney General Olney, will proceed TO
collect this very large aggregate OF
penalties he will have the credit OF add
ing something handsome to the de-
pletcd funds in the treasury. II he
gives Secretary Morton to understand
that he means business it is probable
that the money will be handed over
without the scandal OF trial and con-
viction.
Mr.. Morton would at once see the
point ii it were presented to him with
the business enu orWar
IT is the hope OF the New York World
that "the Olney resignation rumor has
more foundation that the attorney gen
erals opposition to trusts" This is
what the boys call a "spurn." Mr..
Olnev will hurdly resign because OF
criticism. He didn't go into the cabi-
net TO light into the trusts. He and
the President understand each other.
THE moro the Wilson bill is turned
over the more opposition there is to it
and the more probability there is OF
Democratic votes going against it.; but
after all it is for the Democrats to say
what they will do with their majority.
Ii they be determined to use it against
The welfare of the country, the country
will have to make the best OF it.
IT is remarked that not one masa
meeting has been held yet to urge tho
passage OF the Wilson bill, but very
many OF the other sort have boon held.
OF course this will make no difference
to Prof. Wilson and his coparceners,
but it is q whole stack OF straws that
show which way the wind blows.
