Menace of Trusts

The extent to which Combinations in re-
stra'int of trade" have multiplied and grown
under the fostering cave of the Republican
tariff may we'll cause alarmteven for the sta
bility of our institutions. 1t has come to
he serious menace to the system on which
our government rests. No people can stand
the strain of policy which enthrones com
bned capital as the despot of industry. This
is one of the Issues which the people will
face in the next general election. 1t may be
the most important issue. AT the present
rate of growth it will not take more than
two years to bring every branch of indus
try under the absolute control of combina-
tions in restraint of trade-Boston Post.

Not a Patriot

If Don Carlos were more of a patriot than
a Carlist he could now give a splendid mani
festation of his patriotism by refraining
from inaugurating struggle that means al
most inevitably the ruin OF his country But
such high generosity is not to be expected of
man cold, vengeful and ambitious to de-
gree. The near future of the luckless coun-
try is Diary indeed. 1t holds out but, threat

No Pensions for Ex-Rebels

The strange proposal made by Senator
Butler OF North Carolina to pension the ex-
confederate soldiers has, of course, no pros
pect of adoption. 1t may be sent up as a
trial balloon but it has not the slightest
chance to find a favoring wind. The time
is hardly ripe yet for successful attack
upon the treasury in behalf of the mem who
fought to break up the union; and, besides,
it sins against the spirit, if not the letter,
of the fourteenth amendment to the consti-

Ship Bounties Not Needed

The shipbuilders insist upon some form OF
direct or indirect checks on competition.
They claim that they cannot do business
without it, The claim is unfounded. We
are sending locomotives to Japan and to
England We can build ships at rates rela-
lively as low as we can build locomotives.
We actually do build warships for Russia
and Japan, against the competition of the
world. All that our shipbuilders really need
is the spur of open competition. Since that
would be of inestimable advantage to the
whole nation and no real harm to them con-
gress should provide for it at the earliest
moment.-New York Times.

A Scandalous Appointment

The old chapter of ante-election promises
to win delegates is still being written. There
is the case of A. T. Wimberly, who has been
confirmed collector Of the port of New Or
leans. He was nominated because Mark
Hanna, in the winter of 1886, promised
him this reward if Wimberly would vote
for Mckinley instead OF Reed at St. Louis
the next summer, and if Mckinley should
be elected president. This is an abomina-
bic case. The new collector is utterly dis
credited in New Orleans.-Springfeld,

1t is significant that the first Grand Army

suggestion of Federal care for the graves of

Spoils system in the Colonies

President Mckinley has been much
more stanch civil service reformer in form
than in fact. Subservience on the part of
the executive to the will of party bosses
might lead to most deplorable consequences
if it should result in sending to the West
and East Indies such political harpies as too
often attain to places of responsibility and
emolument in the United States. This is
precisely the kind of exploitation which has
lost to Spain every vestige of her vast colo
nial empire.-Philadelph Record.

The Flag Argument

This flag argument is the shabbiest of
claptrap. The United States gained in honor
and prestige when it pulled down its flag in
the City of Mexico and dozen other places
in that republic and marched away. If so
minded we could have kept our flag there,
just as we can keep it in the Philippines. But
the same reasons apply as did to Mexico. Our
highest interests will be conserved by avoid
ing the calamity of an imperial colonial pol
icy-Pittsburg Post.
