steadily grows. No genuine or last
ing improvement could come other
wise than slowly and step by step
after such depression as the past
four years have witnessed, and the
most hopeful feature of the situation
is that the gain is so nearly devoid of
elements which involve unsoundness
and probable reaction. The first step
toward prosperity is to get the wheels
started and the hands employed, and
the number OF works which have re-
sumed or increased force during the
past few weeks seems greater than
since the first reaction in November.

The democrats in the House are now
very sorry that they said word about
trusts in their fight upon the Dingley
tariff bill. They got a fool idea in
their heads that they could frighten
the republicans by yelling trusts" at
them. They know better now. That
line of attack gave the republicans an
opportunity to call the attention, or
rather to jog the memory, of the pub
lie to the indisputable fact that the
trusts have been more numerous and
more grasping under the democratic
administration and tariff law than
ever before, and that the democrats
made their last campaign solely in the
interests of what Gen. Grosvenor so
aptly called "the trust which controls
a monopoly of what God gave-the
silver trust''. The fact is also re-
called that when the Sherman anti
trust law, recently upheld by decision
of the United States supreme court,
was before the House, the leading
democratic members voted against it's
being taken up for consideration, al
though they did not dare vote against
the bill itself when it was put upon its
final passage. They found the trust
argument veritable boomerang, and
about the only excuse they had to
offer was that they were not re-
sponsible for Grover Cleveland

IDexDedIent LEGISLATION.

The "anti cigarette bill' has passed
the State legislature, but it can hardly
be called the ghost of its original self.
The full text of the bill appears in the
news report of the State legislatures
proceedings.
The bill as passed by the House alb
solutely prohibited the manufacture
or sale of cigarettes in Maine, and
this was the bill petitioned for by Is
900 citizens of Maine, and against
which there We're only DDS remon-
strants But the 22s ruled the Senate,
which tackled on the bill an amend
ment which completely took the
starch out of it, making it apply only
to minors, and in this form it was
passed. Common sense, supplement-
ed by past experience, tells Us that
the law in this form will never be en-
forced.
AS far as its value as prohioitory
measure is concerned, it might just as
well have remained unenacted. 1t
will remain on our statutes a COM
panion of the prohibition liquor law
and ike it, monument TO the dis
credit of the men elected to enforce
the laws of the State; or. if you look
at it from the other side, discredit
to the legislature which will enact
laws which it knows will prove inef-
fectual and inexpedient.
The anti cigarette bill as passed en-
eourages law breaking.

UNUSUAL ACTIVITY IN MUSIC.
BrOderseu Gees Into the Service of
the Conoyer Music Company.


In making a call at Conover's today,
the G o b e reporter met Mr.. Broder-
sen, who will III future look after the
partment. The following interview
with Mr.. Raphael Fassett, the compos-
er-pIfblisher, manager Of this depart
ment, is interesting:
Our publications, like our pianos and
organs, find a ready market in all parts
of the civilized globe. The publishing
of music and books is a new departure
with our company, and ii is very graft
flying to me to know that the close Of
the first year will prove my assertion,
that it is not absolutely necessary for
one to do business in New York city in
order to obtain recognition in this field.
That ST. Paul people are awake to all
things that help to keep their city's
name before the outside world, we are
positive, by the hearty encouragement
and warm support we have received
from them at ali times. The increasing
demands for our musical instruments,
such as the Washburn and Bohman
mandolins and guitars, and other small
Instruments for which we are sole
agents, proves that we have a most
appreciative public, and that they know
where to obtain the worlds best prod
ucts in the musical line.
Mr.. Al Cameron, VINO mas charge OF
these instruments, is a genius, perform
ing with much skill and technical
knowledge upon anything in the store.
With the desire of giving the public
the best service that experience and
unlimited capital can procure, I have
secured Mr.. Brodersen for the retail
sheet music counters. He is popular
with all the teachers and musical peo-
pie of this city and can demonstrate to
them that their every wish will be
gratified by the complete stock we
carry. With such talent at the COM
mand of the public, and our interests 50
we'll protected, we may be pardoned
for predicting another year of success
for the Conover Music company. Those
popular orchestral concerts given in
Conover hall Sunday afternoons are
also stimulating the musical interests,
and will be continued"
