There are tobacco trusts, chem

During the last year or two the
growth OF trusts has been quite
as phenomenal in Europe as in
America and is as universally
commented on there as here.
There is probably a reason for
the unusual squirt in trust forma-

indicates that Governor Steunen-
berg has determined to act with
diligence and vigor in restoring
order in Shoshone county. OF

no cessation until justice is done.
The quelling Of this disturbance,
which is but a "repetition of a

avail nothing unless followed by
the the infliction of condign pun

God or somebody else filled him
with lust and ambition. He pines
to own the world and control its
course. He lives almost ex-
clusively for money and fame and
no amount of either satisfies him.
Whether he calls himself a Re-

under the vest he is the same
grasping, ambitious creature. He
will yell against trusts to split
himself while all the time
buying stock in the American
Sugar company or the Standard

Until quiet shall have been re-
stored, it is needless to inquire in
to the merits Of the controversy
between the Miners Union and
the mine owners. There was
certainly nothing % justify the
high-handed violence engaged in
by the miners-tbere was no suf-
ficient provocation to justify blow
ing up mills and shooting down
men. We:can appreciate, if aye
may not sympathize with, the
awkward predicament in which
the State executive finds himself.
1t has been a part of his political
policy to pet and court the law

When Whitney was murdered,
the governor was passive; when

the governor was stolidly indif-
ferent; and when an occasion
arose affording him an oppor-
tunity to officially proclaim his
sympathies, he appointed the
foremost agitator in the west to a
position of high responsibility and
in doing so resorted to an unus-
ual exercise of prerogative. But
we trust that the governor now
sees the enormity Of his mistake,
and the danger which turks in
even a seeming sympathy with
an organization that seeks redress
for every grievance by open vio-
lence. He has shown DISPOSE
ton to act with vigor and deter
mination. He has appealed to
the federal government, and de-
tachments of the regular army
are now hunting and apprehend-
ing the criminals. In this the
governor deserves to be heartily
supported and encouraged. He
should be made to feel that the
people of Idaho are with him,
and that nothing will so certainly
invite and merit condemnation as
a seeming apathy or a disposition
to shirk his solemn duty. The
work of paciication for the pres
ent is practically accomplished,
but there is a future and continu-
ing work which will require vigil
lance and firmness. To that
work, we hope Governor Steun-
will address himself with
wisdom and stern patriotism.

SILVER ABANDONED.

A notable circumstance in the
little political world known as the
Inter-Mountain States, is the re-
cent frank announcement of the
the Salt Lake Tribune, that it is
useless 10 make another stand for
silver until conditions change"
The change Of condition required
to make hopeful the silver fight is
a relapse into the conditions which
prevailed under the last Demo
cratic national administration. In
other words, the free silver prop
uganda is wholly nourished at the
breast of calamity, and withers
and dies before the smiles Of
prosperity. The Salt Lake Tri5-
me, as also the Pocatello Tribune,
has arrived at a clear understand
ing of this fact, and wisely con-
ciudes to drop 10 10 l until De-
mocracy shall again produce that
state of misery which drives peo-
pie to embrace any dogma which
promises relief, The Salt Lake
Tribune has made a most MASTER
full, earnest and extended fight for
the principle Of free coinage It's
unquestioned sincerity and unre-
hitting efforts have won admira-
ton from its bitterest opponents,
and even now its belief in the
principle is not in the least shak-
en-, but it begins to see that to at
tempt to correct the mistake of
"73" is as futile as would be an
attempt to harmonic all the
tongues of all the peoples by re-
constructing the tower of Babel.
fact which has forced it. |
self upon the Tribune, as upon
thousands of other earnest silver
advocates, and which has lnflu-
enced it to degree, is the utter
sel6shness and manifest incom-
potency of Democracy. The
Tribune never had much respect
for that political institution whose
policy during the last forty years
has not been distinguished by
solitary measure calculated to
promote the public veal, and the
closer its contact with it, the
smaller its regard, until finally
the best sentiment the SAT- Lake
Tribune could find in its heart for
Democracy was contempt.
The Silver Republicans of Ida
no would do well to study the
lesson the people of Utah have
learned, They should perceive
how hopeless under present con-
ditions it is to keep up the battle
for silver, and they should realize
that in fighting for silver
along the lines of fusion they are
building up an utterly selfish and
incompetent party-a party that
will abandon silver as Cheerfully
and heartlessly as they embraced
it, whenever political exigencies
seem TO demand it.

MrKINLgrs POLICY.

There is to be big meeting in
Chicago which is intended to OPP
crate as a powerful remonstrance
against McKinley's policy of ex-
pansion. There have already
been gatherings Of a similar char
acter in Boston and elsewhere,
and they have all created much
more merriment than anti-expan-
sion sentiment. The trouble with
those anti-expansionists is that
they do not know what ails them
nor how to cure it. They are of
that class which is always ailing
and if they didn't have anti-ex-
pansion they would be afflicted
with some other un-American
complaint equally senseless. What
President McKHiey's views are
respecting the future of the Phil
ippines, have never been very
clearly disclosed, and whether or
not he has a policy is an open
question. But there is one thing
about which there is no manner
of doubt. The American people

The American people have al
ways been expanders and as long
as there is room for growth in
this world, they will go on grow

power-growing in all that is
great and good and uplifting. By
an accident of war, the American
people came into control of a
thousand or two fertile islands.
Those islands were inhabited by

THE TRUSTS,

There has been a surprisingly
large crop of trusts during the
past three months and the fact
has given rise to almost endless
discussion. Trusts do not differ
in principle from corporations,
but in magnitude generally. A
corporation consists of an associ-
alton of individuals for doing bus
mess. A trust is an association
of corporations for the same pur-
pose. That is about the only
difference. There is one. feature
of the present discussion of trusts
which deserves some attention.
The idea seems to obtain that
trusts do not exist outside of the
United States; that in fact this is
the mother country of all the
trusts and that they are propagat-
ed entirely by our protective tar
lit laws. This notion is. wrong
an three essential particulars:
First, trusts exist wherever civil
ization dominates; second, free
trade England is probably the,
mother and grandmother of them,
and'third, import duties, whether
protective or otherwise, have lit
tie or nothing to do with the
formation of trusts. A sufficient
proof of this last fact is found in
the existence of the coal oil trusts.
the tobacco trust, the coffee trust
and plenty more. But let us in
qulre' into the trusts of other
countries, and as being more in
point, look into the situation in
free trade England. Writing on
"The Growth of Monopoly in
British Industry" an eminent
Englisman, Mr.. H. w. Macpostv.
says; HWe see in British indus
try a steady, movement toward
combination and monopoly, a
movement. which is the natural
outcome of .eompetition, and
therefore MOI. capable of being
prevented or updone by law"
Here is another significant obser-
yation, MIR, Macrosty says: "The
retail al! trade is today passing
through !. an industrial revolution
similar to that which manufactures
experienced in the early yea,.s Of
nc century," You see, they had
trusts in England nearly a hun
bred years ago, and the produc- |

CADETS PASS RESOLUTIONS.
They Appreciate Col. Brooks Efforts

The monthly meeting of the Savannah
Cedets, which was held at the armory last
night, was largely attended. The meet
ing was presided over by Capt. J. T.
West. The principal business action upon
the report of the committee, appointed 60
draft resolutions relative to the retirement
OF Col. j. f. Brooks from the command
OF the company. The report, emoodying
the following resolutions, was unanimously
adopted by a rising and enthusiastic vote.
After many years of active connec-
ton with this company as its command
ing officer, Capt. ]. F. Brooks has ten
dered his resignation.
Under his administration this company
has justly earned the reputation as a vol
unteer military organization which very
nearly approached the regular army in
its efficiency This reputation could not
have been made from nothing, and even
with the material existing, it required the
mind and hand of masterful man to
