PRESS COMMENT.
A Rocky Mountain View.

Standing in the twilight of one of the
most eventful years in the history of Am
erican politics we may say in all loyalty
to the cause we served that the year which
in few days will dawn upon US will be
bright and prosperous. We are guilty of
no lack of consistency when we assert
that the conditions are here to make pros
perity, notwithstanding we said so often
during the campaign that there was not
standard money enough in the world to
do the worlds business. There is not
sufficient standard money, and there never
will be until silver is remonetized, to
make that enduring prosperity for which
the world hopes and that is essential to
the continued advancement of mankind
But as there is an ebb and flow in the
tide, though the sea may never encroach
upon the land, 80 we may have time of
prosperity following a period of depres
sion.
1t is the flow tide with Us now. It may
not be seen by every one. Whoever sees
the tide just when it turns? But we know
it Is at the flood, for. we know that the
time for the turn has come. 1t is the very
fact that this conviction is general
throughout the land which shows that it
is justified. The revival of business will
come with returning confidence, and the
more general the confidence and the
stronger the faith the sooner will the
change appear.-Denver Republican.

| ject is to stifle competition and thereby
secure illicit control of the markets. The
real nature and design of the organiza-
ton would always be question of fact,
The courts have no difficulty in deciding
this question when it arises between the
parties. They would have none in decid-
ing it as between the government and the
parties.
In order to make it easier to bring
evidence concerning this question of
fact Mr.. Harmon advises insertion into
the law of provision similar to that in
the interstate commerce law which de-
prives witnesses of the privilege of de-
clining to answer heterogeneous on the
ground of possible self-incrimination
These two amendments, in the attorney
generals opinion, would suffice to enable
the government to wipe the trusts out of
Bradstreet's.
Perhaps so. But it requires no hyper
critical temper to offer a reasonable
doubt whether the high-priced lawyers
employed by the trusts would find it any
harder to prove that the American Sugar
Refining company (for instance) is Gle
gitimate business enterprise carried on
by an association of individuals in bona
fide corporation" than they have found it
to override the provisions of the existing
law. If not, they would, of course, have
no trouble at all in establishing a right
to interstate trans-shipment of sugar be-
cause such Legitimate business enter
prise" naturally could not be deemed
combination in restraint of trade.
No, Mr.. Harmon, the trouble lies deep
er than the inefficiency of the present
antitrust law. The people of the United
States will never free themselves from
the grinding domination of associated
capital and greed until they apply the
axe to the root of comm ercial oppres-
sion. The radical cure lies in the repeal
of every law, state or national, bearing
upon revenue, currency, transportation,
land which fosters the concentration of
wealth, which gives one individual or one
community ar advantage over another or
which in any degree iDfringes upon the
irrefragable maxim, Equal rights to all
and special privileges to none." Anti
trust laws, with officials competent and
willing to enforce them, are necessity
under existing conditions, but rational
them needless. New York Journal.

CATRON A DIPLOMAT!

AS regards Delegate Catrou's connec-
tion with the official pie-counter brigade,
the very latest from Washington is quite
startling.
They do say that the boss of all the
New Mexico Republicans has now quite
gone back on several of his post-election
agreements; has even written to certain
influential aspire nts for Office that he can
not longer, despite his promise, support
them for what they seek, and has gener-
ally "turned down" more than one Of his
former staunch supporters. And why I?
The sequel lies in this, that the boss
himself has suddenly developed aspira-
tions to become diplomat! Would you
believe it, gentle reader, that Catrou de-
sres to be sent as minister to Mexico,
and to that end he is now bending all his
energies? He has considered all the
available jobs, but that of Ransom, to
his mind, takes the bun! Later develop
ments are awaited with interest.

The senates confirmation of Mr.. Cleve-
lands nomination of W. B. Childers is the
source of great deal of good feeling
by more than "66" voters in New Mexico.
To our mind, it means that there will be
no change in this important office in New
Mexico for two or three years hence, all
of which is extremely tough on the Re-
publican piecounter fellows, but it's a
mighty good thing for the plain people
to have an honest man on guard in such

HARMON AND the TRUSTS.

The remedy for the defects in the anti
trust law suggested by Attorney General
Harmon would very likely effect per.
manent cure if the trusts permitted. Ad-
hitting that the present law has many
defects, any of which would suffice to
nulify it, Mr.. Harmon recommends that
it be amended so as to prohibit trans
shipment of articles, produced by com.
bination in restraint of trade, from one
state to another. In substantiation OF
his agreeable view that this would sup.
press the Standard Oil company, the
sugar trust and all the rest he utters this
optimistic opinion:
Il should not be difficult to distinguish
legitimate business enterprises carried
on by individuals or by associations of
individuals in bona fide partnerships and
corporations, however great aud success
fnl they may become BY superior Ca.
pacity, facilities or enterprise, from COM
binations Of rival concerns, NO matter
under what form Or disguise, whose OBJ

the facts to Ekins and Kerens.

The fact that Mrs. Mckinley, says a
critical exchange, has gone to Chicago to
buy gowns with which to begin life in
the White house, instead of getting them
in New York, will be looked upon by
Chicago as another evidence that the
center of political influence in this coun-
try is moving westward.

HAVANA, Nov. 2.-The report that
Antonio Maceo crossed the military

repulsed with great loss, according to
the official account, is again denied,
and it II stated that the insurgents
upon that occasion acted without
unison, disobeyed orders. made no at
tack upon the forts, and were
unable to capture the Spanish en-
trenchments. Still, according to the
official version of the affair. Maceo,
the day after bombarding Artemisa, in
conversation with the manager of a
firm near Mangas, Pinar del Rio, de.
plored the loss his forces had sustained,
and admitted it was no easy matter to
cross the military line. The Spanish
forces are slowly occupying the posi-.
tions which Maceo may have intended
to use, and he is said to be resting, in
order to care for his wounded.
