Hon. John w. Griggs, attorney-gen-
eral of the United States, says he can
not prosecute the trusts under the
Sherman Act because, to do so, would
be, on his part, "super-of1icious."
Under his oath" as construed by
antitrust people, the reason given is
very himsy as construed by trust PEG
pie sit is sweet as honey in the honey
comb
But whether Griggs be wrong or
right, his word seems to be final.
And it stands to the credit of re-
sounding consistency that in declining
to prosecute he treats all alike.
Which means, on the other hand,
that were he to prosecute one he would.
without the shadow of dcfalcation,
prosecute all.
Because-what a howl, loud and
Just, would go up were he to proceed
against one and not the others!

NAL would forthwith nominate him tor

MISUNDERSTANDING.

FRosrBURG, NIB, August p, 1899.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
The Cleaner this week published a
letter written by Charles q Watson,
notifying his friends that he has with
drawn from the Hanna political com
bine.
He (WatsOn) intImates that not only
he, but Mr.. d. Armstrong, would be
sacrificed even should they help elect
the Hanna ticket.
In making an investigation along
the political line one Is compelled to
credit Watson's surmises. Suppose
we analytic the case:
Mr.. }. b. Williams has vely recent
ly been appointed member of the
State Central Committee from this
town. Judging by the past, that means
that the member, whoever he NAV be.
is also recognized as the local political
boss, who is expected to help do the
fine-halred work in making up the
local part of the ticket. Any one ac-
quainted with the science of "making
up ticket understands that, after
success at the primaries, the manipula-
WIS ClltNuNoI " tame CIdGSt OIL the
delegations IN the convention and have
men nominated whom they want and
not the men whom the people voted for
at the primaries. This has been done
time and again.
Walson's letter intimates that he
and Armstrong were taken into the
combine to give the Hanna ticket
strength at the primaries only to be
sacrificed IN the convention; hence
his withdrawal. Is his story plausi-
BILE 70 Il casual observer it looks
very much so.
Mr.. j. b. Williams is considered the
local chieftaln for the Hanna Mealing-
ct al. wing of the party and report is
already current that Mr.. Williams
father, in No. y, is likely to be
pushed" for commissioner.
Then how easy will it be for Mr..
j. Is. Williams to say to the deega-
lions in II and 26 Of Hanna ticket
wlnS)-
Gentlemen, | admit that we won i'll these
districts because we had the support of the
Armstrong and Watson people, but those
gentlemen have no show here, chow easy,
too, for him to Sce that those gentlemen
have no SHOW | would like for you to sup
port my father for commissioner.
Is it plausible?
1t is, and it looks also as if Watson
has diagnOzed the case correctly.
1t seems, then, that the best way to
vote for Armstrong is to vote against
the Hanna ticket, and, to this end,
understand that the yen~ine Armstrong
ticket will be headed
FOR Co","tjSSiOncr-D. Armstrong

Died

Suddenly at his home, in Cumber-
land, Monday evening, August 2l,
1899, Mr.. Douglas G. Percy, aged 10
years. His health had failed until he
was compelled several weeks ago to
remain in the house. His family,
though apprehensive, were shocked
by the suddenness of the end. Mr..
Percy was a son of the late Douglas
Percy, of this place, a druggist by
trade, and kind, affable, accommoda-
ting man. Nobody would afford a
favor quicker and more gladly than
he. Mrs. Percy. a son-John, and
daughter Miss Flaville, survive.

Friday night, 18th inst, Philip Ar
mold on his way home thought he
smelt burning wood. Investigating
he found the ashboX and division
fence behind Mrs. A. NJ. Devecmon's
property on fire. He returned down
town, met B. r. SchofcId, told him
and both visited the scene, the latter
thinking the fire might be stamped ont.
In this he was mistaken, the fire hay
ing gained too much Roadway. Leav-
ing Arnold to watch, Schofeld came
down street, found Henry Fisher and
Scott Porter and told them. Fisher
having the key, the three went to the
Firemen's hall, got buckets and soon
had the fire out without sounding an
alarm. This was cool-headed, safe
work. People should be careful, how
ever, in handling hot ashes.
