The trusts that have been created
and fostered by republican legisla.
ton are now beginning to take ad-
vantage Of the situation to bleed the
people. For instance. the glass trust
puts prices up 80 per cent, and puts
wages down 10 per cent. This is a
very natural result of republican
monopoly legislation. The people.
who have just tied themselves hand
and foot by giving the monopolist
another lease Of power, have only
themselves to blame. They have NO
remedy except to wait with patience,
and meanwhile they must pay I'M
literally. He who dances mus,
pay the fiddler"

THERE is ageneral impression that
the large falling of of revenue from
customs is owing to the operations
of the Wilson bill. The fact is that
the customs fell off from 1929, 700, GOO
in 1890 to &131, 100000 in 1894. and
this was under the operation OF the
Mckinley bill. Under the Wilson
bill the revenues have recovered to
Sl59.5OO,OOO lin 1896. The McKin-
ley bill was not revenue. but q
protection measure and would have
landed US much lower than we are
IL it had not been repealed. Yet the
highest form Of republican states
mansh'p demands the restoration of
the Mckinley tariff.

King Menelek's Independence.

The pope's influence has failed to se- cure the release of the Italian prisoners in Abyssinia. It is said that his shrewd councillors disapproved an attempt so little likely to succeed at time when his holiness cannot afford to risk the papal prestige, but a generous pity over came their reasoned objections As if to emphasize the refusal, Menelek has set free 64 officers and men of his own accord. They report that the Abyssinian monarch is not such barbarian as is commonly supposed. He reads the lead ing Italian journals through an inter- preter. It Is we'll for the prisoners that he cannot understand them himself. Menelek desires to make himself equal to the European sovereigns, and this fact represents progress, for all his pre- decessors firmly believed themselves to be already equal or superior. The Ital- ian officers are frequently questioned about the manners and customs of roy alty in Europe. His queen actually wears dresses from Paris and stockings, shoes. etc.
 Many French families are settled at and near Entotto, where the negus has palace, and they supply these articles. Ono would like to know what the pris- oners mean exactly by many" It may be credited, however, that Abyssinia is about to undergo a change, with Rus sians and Frenchmen to direct it. aud in that case the sooner Egypt gets com mand of the upper waters of the Nile the better for her safety. To occupy the Sudan would be the first move of an energetic negus who felt himself strong enough to organize a grand attack upon the hereditary foe. And if he got pos session of tho Sudan self interest would tempt him to divert the Nile, putting ill will toward Egypt aside.-London Standard.
