-Muscatine Journal: The sentiments
expressed by President Mckinley in
his message in regard to trusts, will
commend themselves to the good
sense of the people. There is no high
sounding and empty TRADE against
what is essentially amodern develop
ment, but the possibilities of evil
contained in the concentration of
wealth are pointed out, and calmly
and soberly the President suggests
remedies and restrictions. The Pres
ident appeals to the intelligence of
the nation; Bryan to it's passions and
prejudices.

Congressman Sibley, of Pennsyl-

oil producer, who lives at Franklin,
Venango county, has created sensa-
ton by disavowing his former views
on the chief issues the day and in
dorsing the policy of the aaministra-
tion. Mr.. Sibley has been considered
the foremost leader of the silver wing
of the democratic party in the eastern
states and has been seriously talked
of as the probable nominee for vice
president on the ticket with Mr.. Bry-
an. Hence his change of heart creates
a decided sensation.
