THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
Tn, Head Kpow-It-AII of the Admin
t.trntion Disseminates Trust
Wisdom.

Once in a great while the attorney
General of the United States, his name
is Griggs, announces something. lie
feels that he should earn his salary, but
as he puts very high value upon his
knowledge of law, he does rot have TO
appear very often before the public in
his official capacity to balance the ae-
count between himself and the govern
ment. But when he does open his Of
fetal mouth only profound wisdom
cometh forth. 1t is also true that Griggs
thinks what Griggs does not know is
not worth trying to find out. There
fore, when he condescends to enlighten
the country the country knows, or rath-
er Griggs thinks it should know, that
what it hears comes from the very
roots of all knowledge. AS logician
Griggs may or may not be all wool and
ward wide. He never deals in the
article. He prefers bold assertion. 1t
sounds more as if ''by authority;" be-
sides, what does the public know about
logic, anyway?
In reply to request to define the
meaning of the word trust" as used
in the Sherman antitrust law. the at
torney-general says that companies
organized for the purpose of securing
complete or partial monopoly of differ
ent branches of manufacture are SINH
lar t. the sugar combination, and are
not within the jurisdiction of the fed
eral courts" What the attorney-gen-
eral is trying to jam into the obtuse
minds of the people is that there are
no trusts in the United States. and
hence the Sherman antitrust law is a
meaningless and foolish legislative en-
actment. There are no trusts; what are

ure of credit for his ability If Samp.
son be truly great he will be generous,
and will add TO rather than seek to de-
tract from the glory of Schley.
To the extent that Mckinley and
Sampson attempted to rob Schley of
his laurels, they will show that they

Shafter is even more striking eX-
ample of the homemade" hero. Where
is Shafter, anyway? What state wants
him for governor? Who writes poetry
about him? Who, even, kisses him >
Shafter is credited with having eaten
some OF the -ations issued by the Alger
commissary department. If this be
conceded, the fact must stand unchal-
lenged that he risked his life in the
service of his country.
Seriously speaking, Shafter probably
deserves more credit than he is ever
likely TO receive. There are chances
that he may be even fairly good gen.
eral. He is victim of circumstances
that We're seemingly beyond his con-
troll. He has, nevertheless, been rele-
gated TO obscurity, and the reason is
obvious. 1t has been rendered very
plain that man of mediocre ability
was unduly pushed ahead of Gen. Miles.
who is distinguished military chief
taln-placed by competent authorities
among the foremost soldiers of the
world.
This situation existed because mar
row-minded and unscrupulous man
was misplaced as secretary of war and
gwen the opportunity to vent his petty
and malignant spite

pie the crowd begins with Hip, him"
then they think of Alger, and the
"hurrah" dies away.
Laurel wreaths made up at the white
house and the war department TO fiji
favorites, and to further political ends
get no reverence from the people. They
are too palpably spurious.
Laurel wreaths made by the grateful
and loving hands of the people have inn
mortal grace, and are fragrant with
the incense of undying fame. The
Washington imitation looks like tho
clumsy trademark on packages oftrust-
made goods, and an odor clings to them
suggestive of "embalmed beef"-(,bi-
cago Democrat.

LAST YEARS NEST,

Why, robin. do you shun
Your last years coy nest?
Why build again? This one
Is ready for your breast:
Except IL be bit
OF straw to soften Il,
And here and there a patch:
Twill barely cost a scratch
To make II good as new;
And soon the tree Will thatch
With leafy roof for you,
And hide II quite from view.
Stay, robin, where last year
You dwelt In happiness;
No prowling monster here
Fer sought to dispossess
And drive you hence in fright:
Here slept you through the night.
Secure. and here were sung
Your songs. here grew your young;
Associations sweet
Are all these haunts among;
Like peoples In the wheat.
Let this be your retreat.
But no, another nest
Is In your busy mind:
Within your little breast
There Is the hope to find
A spot more sweet than this,
A fuller cup Of bliss.
And who can blame you, sprife7
Who say you are not right
In seeking thus to changer
According to his light
Man far and wide doth range
And doeth things as strange.
