All Volunteers Can Come Home.

President Mckinley has administered
a crushing blow to all the anti-adminis-
tration howlers, In his order that all
the volunteer soldiers who desire to
leave the service must be promptly
given discharge. The treaty with Spain
has finally been concluded, and on the
very day the ratification Of the peace
treaty occurred all the army command
ers were notified that the war with
Spain has been settled with a treaty
Of peace and all the volunteer soldiers
in Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines
and elsewhere, who desire to return
home must be honorably discharged
from the army with the least possible
delay. President Mckinley has kept
faith with the people and with the SOL
diers. The order for the discharge of
all the volunteer soldiers who desire to
return home is sufficient explanation
of the reason why the regular army
has been rushed to the Philippines dur
ing the past three months, and still
further proof of the Presidents never
varying desire to carry the will of the
people into effect.-Des Moines Regis

years ago hundreds of thousands Of
workingmen were idle, they are now

IN with the rrnsta.

~asts can be formed In any civilized
country. There are trusts In England,
where free trade. Is one OF the policies
Of the government Trusts can flourish
In those couatries which /use. silver
money as well as la those countries
where gold Is the only standard /of
value. All trusts were/conceived/a nd
organized In selfishness. The firstftrust
brought together producers, cheApened
the cost of manufacture. and increased
the profits OF the men concerned.
Themarch of invention, of new proc
csses, has Invariably been faster than
has been the lowering of the price Of
the finished product to the people. To
say that trusts have reduced the prices
Of manufactures Is to state q thing
which Is false. Trusts take refuge be-
ihind this lie In order to justify them
lselves In the opinion Of the people.
!iTrusts are organized for the purpose Of
INCREASING profits. Products would be
Ucheaper to-day If there were no trusts.
A hundred competing factories are bet
ter for the people than Is one corpora
.tiOn which controls or operates five
hundred factories.
Recently trusts have been created for
purposes of speculation. A great many
men have become rich in this way dur
ing the past year. The losses which
are inevitable will fall to those who
are caught with watered shares Ia their
possession. All trusts, therefore, are
harmful to the people. All trusts are
created in order that the people may be
robbed in one way or another. The
only course open to the several States
and to the United States Is to destroy
| the trusts.
The Republican party leads In re-
forms. The Republican party should
make immediate and relentless war
upon trusts. The Republican platform
in Ohio this year should be built upon
this idea. The Republican Congress
which will meet next December should
take up the trust question at once. Mr..
Mckinley should be renominated and
/ reelected on the declaration that all
trusts are dangerous, dishonest and
must be destroyed. The fight should be
hard and fierce. Down with the trusts!

Military Riot a. ian Francisco.


What came near to being dangerous
riot occurred near the Preside reserva-
ton, San Francisco, Cal. when large
body Of white troops from the Preside
burned to the ground saloon known as
the Preside Club cafe and resisted ar
rest by colored troops OF the Twenty
fourth infantry and the local, police. The
police fred upon the rioters to intimidate
them and several hundred arrests were
made. The trouble grew out Of injuries
inflicted on @. IL. King. a soldier in the
Twenty third infantry, the previous night
in the saloon. The soldier was so badly
beaten that his life was despaired of. Sew
eral hundred of his comrades marched on
the saloon. The keeper saw them coming
and fled. They bombarded the place
with stones and then set it on fire. The
provost guard. which happened TO be
drawn from the colored regiment, and
large detachment of local police had much
trouble in quelling the rioters. All the
offenders were raw recruits.

Miss Miilstead Near Murphysboro.
The bodies of two women, Mrs. Mary
Z. Davie and Miss May Milstead, who
had been murdered while they slept and
their bodies frightfully mntilated, were
found ut Murphysbero, Ill, by two men
who were working near the honse. The
house is situated in a lonely plat Of
ground, densely wooded. The crime was
evidently committed some time during the
night while they we're asleep, for both
were found in their night clothing, and the
condition OF the room indicated that it
had been plundered. Two trunks were
found open and the contents were scatter
ed about the floor. Besides gunshot
wound in the temple Miss Millsteads
head was cut and gashed from some heavy
dull instrument. Mrs. Davies skull was
crushed in q horrible manner.
