Broom corn, which is now controlled
lars ton; vapor stoves, controlled by
trust. have gone up from fifteen to
twenty per cent: and lumber, controlled
by trust has gone up. And yet there
are some simpletons or apologists for
trusts who maintain that trusts reduce
prices. They are organized to stifle
competition and raise prices, and they
fulfill the object of their creation.

CAN EWART BE APPOINTED?
Governor Russell Said to Have Found Il
Mares Nest

Washington, April 12.-(Special-
Judge Ewart is here looking after his
case. 1t is asserted by some shat ac-
cording to Section 1863, Revised Statutes
of the United States the President can
not again appoint Judge Ewart until the
meeting of Congress. Section 1863 IF
the Revised Statutes reads as follows
."The President is authorized to fill all
vacancies which may happen during the
recess of the Senate by reason Of death
or resignation or expiration of term OF
office. by granting commissions winch
shall expire ut the end of their next >e~-
sion thereafter. And if no appoint nent.
by and with the advice and consent Of
the Senate, is made to an Office so
vacant or temporarily filled during such
next session of the Senate the office
shall remain i'll allegiance, without any
salary. fees. or emoluments attached
thereto, until it is filed by appointment
thereto by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate; and during such time
all the powers and duties belonging to
such office Shall he exercised Dy such
other officer as may by law exercise
such powers and duties i'll case of va
cancy in such office"
However. it is claimed by the Judge $
friends that the Statute does not apply,
and that he will be re-appointed in a
few days.

RUSSElLS MARE'S NEST.

The following special to the Charlotte
Observer seems to dispose of the above
objection:
Washington, April lit developed
today that Governor RuSsell's recent
visit here was to attack Ewart and pre-
vent his appointment. He argued 20 the
Attorney General that the President
could net appoint. under section 1860 of
the Statutes and that no appointment
could be made till December, as the
ofticc~was in abeyance. The nomination
not having been acted upon by the Sen
ate, this view impressed the Depart-
ment and has caused delay. h4wart
threw bombsheE to day when he
showed that this section was a part of
the famous tenure of office act and
had been repealed by Congress i'll 1887.
Russell also insisted that Ewart had
not drawn and could not draw salary,
even if appointed, hut Ewart to-day, in
am interview with the Attorney General,
read the opinion of Comptroller of the
Treasury that his tEwart's) recess APP
pointment was a valid one and that he
was entitled to his salary, and ihat 1t
had been paid. There is big laugh

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Blowing down an elevated railroad
structure. as was done last week in
New York. and blowing up a crowded
street car with tro-glyoerine or gun
cotton and dangerously wounding
some of the passengers, as was done in
Cleveland is not Americanism. Work
ingmen everywhere throughout the
land will doubtless join the other ele-
ments of our law-abiding population
in condemning these acts of lawless-
.ness.-St. Louis Republic.
The evidence points TO the fact that
90 per cent. of the returned volunteers
declare Otis to be a failure.-Omaha
World-Herald.
Undoubtedly Canada committed a
stupendous blunder in remaining sub
ject to a foreign monarchy instead OF
boldly casting its fortunes with the
American colonies and proudly shar-
ing IN the sovereignty of a republic
which became the greatest force for
freedom in the world. Canada cringed
and our forefathers conquered.-Troy

GET AT THE PLACE.

Leon Maynes trouble is that which
usually oyertakes young men Of way
ward tendency, who indulge in gamb-
ling on large scale and with but very
little available capital with which to-
meet their obligations. made at the ta-
bic. ringside, or in the pit. Mayne isl
but 20 years old, lie is the son Of re-
spectacle parents. For several years he
has been gambling, his operations
covering many hundreds OF dollars.
Until short time ago he so conducted
himself as to keep within the bounds
OF the written law. although in con-
slant violation of the moral code. His
offense consists Of giving a man
named John Leary, Of Lamokin Pa,
a worthless check for $500. There can
be no excuse for such an act. but, at
the same time. there is another side
to the story.
AS we understand It. this man Leary
keeps a gambling hell OF the worst
possible description. His attractions
include games Of chance with cards,
the wheel Of fortune, cocking-mains,
and dog fights. He also sells liquors,
and is credited with being none too
conscientious in the matter OF dis
eliminating between a minor and an
adult. This is the complainant and
this is his outfit This is the worthy
individual who has contributed to the
downfall Of young Mayne, and who
now seeks to complete his work by
putting him in Jail for failure to meet
an obligation contracted in connection
with two cock-ights. one held at
LamOkin. under the auspices Of Leary,
and the other in Baltimore.
AS we have said before. we have no
excuses to offer for a person who
gives a worthless check. But neither
have we any use for man OF Leary's
stripe. He is keeping a joint which is
disgrace to Delaware county. That
Pennsylvania prosecutor who Is APP
parently so eager for an opportu-
nifty to Jail liayne had bet
ter look nearer home for a subject
and give this man Leary an opportu-
nifty to explain in court by what legal
or moral right he is rum
ming gambling he'll for the
ruinatlon OF the youth Of
this and other communities. II the po-
lice authorities are protecting him in
his nefarious work It is time that the
good people Of Delaware county were
made aware OF the fact 10 the end thai
such cancer in such a respectable
community be rooted cut
Mayne is not the only Wilmington
lad who has been drawn into Leary'
place. There is ample evidence OF il
nefarious character. and it is time tha
the parents Of the young men fore
the hand q both Leary and the polio
authorities Of Delaware county b.
lodging information and seeing that
is acted upon. Wilmington father
and mothers whose sons have bee
made victims Of Leary's place shoul
seek the Immediate cooperation

county lay the ground carefully an
demand not only a prosecution. bl
