TOR AND MANAGER.

Up to a very recent period Sens
ator TillmaD has been more noted
in the senate for unseemly words
than wholesome acts, but he seems
to be changing for the better and
trying to fulfll tho congressional
duty of making himself generally
useful. In proposing yesterday
an amendment to the naval appro-
priation bill reducing the price of
armor plate to $500 ton he did
a notably good thing, and the sue
cess of his proposition is crafty
ing. The Tlliman and Butler
amendments are needed. Millions
have practically been donated by
the government to the armor
trust. The plants in it have been
created and enriched by govern.
ment patronage, yet the companies
operating them have combined to
"hold up" the United States for
further enormous and excessive
profits. 1t is time to he free of
them. If they wont permit rea-
sonahle competition among them
selves and something like fair
rates the government should erect
its own plant. One or two years
savings from the trusts extortion
would pay the cost of 1T. The
State.
