A NEW PARTY.

Is there room for a new party In our
national politics? is a question again
raised by Winslow Warren in letter
TO the Springfield Republican. The
Boston Herald thinks there Is on ac-
count Of the expansion policy now en-
tered upon. and points out that the
Republican party grew out Of the an
nexation Of Texas although that Ques-
ton soon ceased 10 be the paramount
issue. The Herald, however recog-
nizes that q party cannot live and
thrive on opposition to anything that
has been done. There may be lndigna-
ton, but that alone does not form q
permanent basis for party activity.
There must be some living issue to
work for
Such living issue the Boston paper
finds In the general condition Of poll
tics. 1t points out that there is an
alarming increase In the boss control
Of the political affairs OF the country,
and that this is seen In both the Repub-
l.can and the Democratic parties, and
then says:
III Il goes on much farther, we are
by no means sure that new party will
not be called for TO put It down II

vice from either OF the old

sessions Of both the old parties as may
well require new party to put II
down
The Portland 0regonlan. a Republl-
can paper discusses the question from
an almost similar point Of view, closing
i,s article by asking
How long shall the high places OF
public service belong 70 low cunning
and brazen effrontery? In the bright
lexicon OF politics, Is there no room for
such words as character and intelli-
gence?'
II Is always interesting 20 notice the

THANKSGIVING AND SPORT.

Football seems to have been one Of
the chief features Of Thanksgiving in
nearly all parts Of the country The
logical connection between the two Is
beyond the comprehension Of The ordi-
nary mind. The association Of ideas
seems wholly incongruous.
The day is By solemn proclamation
set apart for meditation upon the boun-
tlful mercies Of Providence. and for
social enjoyment in harmony with such
meditation. Religious exercises and
gatherings In family circles were the
old-fashioned way Of keeping that day,
These were appropriate and expressive
Of the spirit in which this American
holiday was instituted. Sport is the OPP
poste Of this spirit. II is about to in
wade not only special holidays but sun
days too And II the tendency Is TO be
encouraged, It would be Just as well
70 change The names Of these days. To
set apart a day for giving thanks to the
Almighty. and offer Him the spectacle
Of a rough and tumble game as the
chief element OF gratitude looks too
much Ike adding hypocrisy 10 nsln-
certify Why should the President OF
the United States, under the name Of
THANKSGIVING proclamation, continue
TO set apart a day for football?
The Christian denominations that
largely control colleges and higher in
siitutes OF learning In this country
ought to be able to exercise an influence
for good in this direction upon the
students.

IRON AND STEEL.

The American Iron and Steel assocl-
alton proves by figures that the United
States IN 1898 was ahead Of every other
country In the production OF iron ore
pig mon and steel. and second In the
production OF coal, Great Britain being
ahead Of us In this line.
The figures are as follows:
"of iron ore in 1895 the United states
produced l9,27S 500 tons. Of coal l96,4O5,
g3i tons, OF steel $3.50 S57 tons. Great
Britain produced iil7693S tons Of iron
ore, 2o2,0AJi tons Of coal, S6Os.1l9 tons
OF pig and ieG5.9S6 tons OF steel. Ger
many produced ij.S932i6 tons OF iron
ore, l20. 92S 40 tons Of coal, 1,2S2,sSS tons
Of pig and 5,779,j5O tons Of steel. France,
Austria Hungary and Russia follow az
a considerable interval"
The importance Of this will be found
In the part these articles are playing In
the modern struggle for supremacy
among the nations. Armies and nayles
are needed as the world now is con-
stituted, by the power that seeks TO be
heard In the councils Of nations but I'M
less there are material interests behind
the armed forces. these would after oil
he but shadow. They could not be
maintained. and even If they could, they
would have no mission 10 perform. The
country that leads in Industrial pur-
suits Is the true leader in the human
family.

It is not likely that the instructions to

Dictate Terms of Existence.

E According to a computation made by
the New York World, 20 combinations
of capital or trusts control 2,6s7,00
men, and the centralization of capital
continues. 1t is one OF the serious
phases of the trust question. What
effect these combinations must have on
the future independence and we'll be-
ing of the laboring classes. One of these
combinations, namely the Standard Oil
company, HAS reached out its tentacles
until 1t has "a hold in the banking,
transportation, mining and other forms
of business. It seems that the effect
of this growing trust tendency must be
to eventually crush out the independ-
erce vi the. lsboring classes, and dictate
the terms upon which they shall exist.
The combination of capital that can not
only fix the wages which all the men in
vazied lines of employment shall re-
ccsve, but also virtually determine ths
purchasing power OF such compensa'
ton. must st,on crush labor between
the upper and neither mill stones of In

only what is nee sssary to poor ex'
istence. ''#
