ON THE GRAND BANKS.

M'KINLEY AND HANNA REBUKED

The senate committee on commerce
has unanimously declined to make a
favorable report on the nomination Of
Henry Demas to be naval officer at the
port of New Orleans. This Is the worst
slap in the face that Boss Hanna has
received outside the state Of Ohio, for
Demas was special pet and protege Of
the McKinley-maker.
1t Is necessary to go back a little in
order to understand the situation.
Demas was a negro delegate from
Louisiana to the Republican conven-
ton at st. Louis. He had been in
structed to support Reed for the presi-
Dental nomination, but upon his ar
rival in st. Louis Hanna got hold of
him. He voted for Mckinley.
Time flies and political debts become
due, just the same as note at the
bank. Mr.. Mckinley, at Mr.. Hanna's
instance, appointed Demas naval officer
at New Orleans. Soon after the ap-
pointment had been sent to the SEN
ate formal charges were made seriously
affecting the personal character of the
appointee. The commerce committee
heard the charges February 17th. AL
though Senator Hanna is not a member
of this committee, he attended the hear
ing, and with the connivance of the
chairman, Senator Frye, undertook to
conduct the investigation by coaching
those witnesses who were favorable to
Demas and browbeating those who did
not favor him. 1t is said that Hanna's s
action was without precedent, and that
he violated the rules of the senate by
his brazen action.
The unanimous vote of the commit
tee against Demas would indicate that
even Frye could not stomach the NOM
ination. The action was a great and
merited rebuke to Hanna, and the pres
ident cannot escape responsibility and
blame. If he is so strongly in favor of
purity in politics and in personal life as
his friends say he is he would never
have nominated Demas to office, even
to please Hanna.

WILL DROWN THEMSELVES

the city defeated in its suit against the
Cryatal Springs company, because they
think such a result would help them in
their conspiracy to force the city into the
needless expenditure Of several million
dollars for the acquisition Of mountain
water supply.
It will be recalled that, several weeks

facts, to credit the mountain water
scheme with an honest, disinterested
purpose. There Is no reason why water

If the water jingoes succeed in push
ing their plans through, they will sad
die an indebtedness Of at least $4,000, 900
upon the city. Add to the interest on
this vast amount the annual expense of
conducting municipal water works. and
the total would make a sum consider
ably larger than the total revenues of
the water company under the present
rates. How would we get cheaper water
under such a proposition?

NOT A COMMON CARRIER

The Chicago Inter-Ocean has just had
q legal tilt with the Associated Press,
ending yesterday in it's discontinue.
The issue involved is of public interest
and concern in so far as it confirms
the status of the great news gathering
association as a cooperative enterprise,
and not a combine or trust in restraint
Of trade, by monopolizing supply and
controlling prices.
In its petition for a writ restraining
defendant from withdrawing it's news
report from the Inter- Ocean, the plea
q common carrier, and that it must sell
its news to anybody and everybody ten
dering payment therefor. This conten-
tion was denied by the court and the
injunction refused.
The Associated Press is now the great
est news-gathering concern in the world,
having won it's pre-eminence by strict
adherence to the principle of co-opera-
tion, the antithesis of the trust or
combine" as now understood. 1t is the
successor of the Western Associated
Press and of the New York Associated
Press, two corporations that possessed
all of the odious features of allied in
terests, and which owe their downfall
to the arrogance with which they die
tated terms to customers and the i'm
pudence with which they employed the
great engine in furthering gigantic
schemes, political, financial and other
wise.
A monopoly of news is theoretically
q paradox, yet the autocratic concerns
mentioned, owned and controlled by a
small syndicate of publishers in few
of the larger cities of the country, were
supreme for a time, and constituted one
of the most stupendous trusts extant.
That long continued monopoly of news
is an impossibility is shown by the fact
that a powerful rival sprang up in the
United Press, an organization upon
scarcely less obnoxious lines, and which
also went to pieces upon the same rock,
ut the very pinnacle of it's successful COM
petition with the older organization.
Both yielded when the esta ablished news
papers Of the country revolted against
