Trust is the Real Thing.

Printers and publishers are being
hit hard by the rapid advance in the
price of all kinds of paper, for which
some very elaborate explanations are
being made. But most of them shy
around the real vital cause, the trust.
The advance in the price of paper
may be explained as Mark Twain
explained the failure of certain man
to keep an appointment. He said
there were hundred good reasons
why the man could not come, the first
of which was that he was dead. and
SO it was not necessary to state the
other ninety-nine. There may be a
hundred reasons for the advance in
the price of paper, but it is only
necessary to state one of them-the

BRlGHAr1 II. ROBECTS.

One of the most interesting topics
now before the people of the United
States is the case of Brigham H.
Roberts, who has been chosen by the
people Of Utah to represent them in
the national House of Representa-
tives. It is uncertain what will be
the outcome of this agitation against
the Mormons. His friends say they
will fight for him to the last minute.
It is not because he is Mormon that
the people are opposed to him, but
because he is a polygamist. The con-
gress which is to convene shortly will
have this as one of the early and i'm
portant questions with which to deal.
Mr.. Roberts is man of ability, and
has had great deal of power in the
Mormon church, as we'll as the re-
spect of his fellow citizens. He is 42
years old, is said to have four wives,
and is the father of an interesting
pair of twins. Mr.. Roberts has not
made any active opposition, as yet, to
the charges which have been made
against him. Undoubtedly he has
great deal of matter prepared for
making fight to maintain his posi-
ton. While great majority of the
people of America are against him to
stat with, it is hardly possible that
he may be able to win his point in the
matter, pursuing his defense to the
end Of obtaining and retaining his
seat in the congress of the United
States.

The "arbitrage" system-whatever
it was-of Ward & Watson, of Min
neapoIis, failed to make return of so
per cent on the investors money, and
the swindlers skipped out. A similar
concert was recently closed up in
Brooklyn, N. Y, while in our own
meighborhood certain man considers
himself unlucky because he couldn't
make $50 out of $40. After all the
publicity which is given to swindles,
why is it that people will still try to
make something out of nothing?

The approach of the centennial of
George Washington's death might
easily form the basis of great deal
of editorial comment in many differ
ent lines. First of all would natur-
ally come Washington's character as
an ideal for statesmen of today. We
are inclined to think of Washington
as always having the people behind
him in his public acts. In two in
stances he stood out against the
current of public opinion first when
John Jay had made a favorable com
mercial treaty with England he had
to stand all kinds of rebuke and
threatened impeachment for favoring
it, and again when popular feeling
ran high in favor of France against
England he had the courage to side
with England. Impartial history
has proved that Washington was
right.

The Truth About Hanna.

The sentiment among Republicans
is something like this: We can win

that he is brilliant and fearless

should no longer head the national

One of the more important articles in

of the Treasury Lyman j. Gage, on
The Civil Service and the Merit Sys-
tenn Secretary Gage contends that
the recent order of the President
amending the Civil Service Rules has
that what is known as the registration
system has been in vogue for years at
and that one result Of the recent
amended order is merely to apply the
same system to a large number OF
positions tsome 5000 or 10000 in the
ordnance. engineering and quartermas-
ter's bureaus in the department Of war

first time. within the protection of the
Civil Service Law. the first three sec
tons Of which declare that no person
shall be dismissed from office by rea-
son Of his political or religious affilia-
tons. The two next larger groups of
employees affected by the President !
order are deputy marshals and deputy
collectors of internal revenue: and. al
though these are exempted from the
general rules of competitive examina-
ton and registration, yet so carefully
has the merit principle been observed
that applicants for these positions
must pass an examination conducted
by the civil service commission. equal
in character to that now employed in
competitive examinations for such
offices. Secretary Gage asserts that
men familiar with public administra-
ton must approve the recent order.
and that those who now condemn il
will, with fuller knowledge, approve it.
