II must have Been noticed that Gen. Benjamin
Harrison is not tearing his clothes for the Repub-
lican ticket in Ohio, though he must have heard
the clarion announcement that the fate Of Viii
liam Mckinley Is involved in the election. Per.
haps General Harrison. shares the opinion Of a
great many other straightout. old-fashioned Re
publicans that the denomination and reelection
Of Mr. Mckinley, while he is under the thumb
of Bosses Hanna and Cox, is not essential to the
well being Of the country or the perpetuiry Of

Ohfo's Attorney General Investigates
the Increase in Prices.


the Increase in Prices.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. Oct. 27.-Attorney
General Monnett has begun an investiga-
tion of the Salt Trust. known as the Michi-
gan Salt Association. He finds that it has
the following distributing agents" JOY,
Martin & Co. Chicago; l. P. Pettitt. Mil

son, Columbus; Cutter & Gilbert Duluth;
w. D. Greasy & Son. Cincinnati; A. S.
Nichols, Michigan City, Ind; NJ. Basshare
Toledo, and F. A. Hobbs, Benton Harbor,
Mich.
He says the total output Of the trust is
4000, 600 barrels per year and taht it
has increased the price OF salt since its
organization 80 cents per barrel. This
means that the organization Of the trust
increases the profit of the salt dealers to
the amount of 81 200, geo per annum.

A striking popularity Of the present situation
in South Africa is that it reverses fUr the moment
the relative positions OF the weak and the strong
power. Much sympathy has been aroused for the
Beers on the plea that they have been forced
into a war with mighty Empire, but if
mere disparity in numbers iustihes such plea
then the sympathy and the admiration which 90
out to the man who fights against odds belong
Of right to the British soldiers who have done
such gallant work under General White in Natal
and under Badeu-Powel at Mafeking.

Zeal in the cause Of public propriety
ought to be rewarded The eminent blue
law jurist who punished the Yale student
for kissing his sweetheart on the street, is
lost in the wilds of Connecticut while his
peculiar talents are wasted on such vir-
tuous and pious communities as those of
New Haven and Savon Rock. Mr.. McKin
ley should corral him and put him on the
Federal bench in Utah.

THE BRUMRY RECEPTION.
Deyvey's Aide Impressed by the
warmth of His Greeting.

ATLANTA Ga, Oct. 27.-Lieutenant
Brumby will probably make several visits
to his friends in this city who are anxious
to entertain him while he is on leave.
Profoundly impressed as he was by the
reception which he received from his home

who were with him at the close of the day
Il am prouder than ever to be able
to say that l am a Georgian I have been
to great receptions in the largest cities in
the United States, in New York, Boston
and many other places, but I have wit

A delicate question of public morals has
led to trouble in Havana, and to the resig-
nation Of Civil Governor Ruis Rivera. The
Cuban official issued an order prohibiting
cock fighting as an immoral amusement,
General Brooke insisted upon revocation
Of the order, on the ground that cock fight
ing is a national institution in Cuba and
cannot be interfered with without danger
ously assailing the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, Magma Charta, and the Bill Of
Rights. Brooke, being Governor General,
is at present on top, but we are impelled
to warn him that a large population of pro-
fessional sympathizers in the United States
are practically disengaged at the present
time, and at any minute may conclude to
hold mass meetings and circulate petit
tions in support of General Rivera-that is,
if polygamy in the Sulu Islands does not
catch them first.

Rumors. which seem to be credited in
local circles usually uninformed as to in
ternational affairs, are to the effect that
efforts by the resident Corps Diplomatiquc
are being made to ascertain what this Gov
ernment would do If certain Continental
powers were to inaugurate hostile move
ment against Great Britain. There is moth
ing in such stories. The representatives in
Washington of foreign nations are amply
informed that the first overt act in the
direction referred to would be Immediately
followed by an American declaration of
a decided character. They do not need TO
enquire at the State Department what our

WHEELER AND THE CONSTITUTION.

Whether General Wheeler will return
from the Philippines to claim his seat Il
congress is somewhat in doubt, bu
whether he does the fact remains that h
should unloose his prehensle fingers oil
one or the other Of his two positions.
Mr.. Bailey's resolution that last veal
brought out the report from the house ju,
dietary committee that military and con.
gressional Office could not be held at thC
same time, should have been sufficient
TO prompt General Wheeler to the sur
render OF his commission in the army, Il
he preferred to serve his congressiona
district or. II he preferred to follow the
flag OF his Nation as soldier, he should
have resigned his seat in congress tina,
his district would not be without repre-
sentation at time when his party de-
mands that every congressman should be
at his post OF duty.
The sergeant at arms of the house has
over $4,000 to the credit OF the Alabama
representative. covering salary from March
last to date. General Wheeler has
shown no disposition to sign the carta-
cate required OF members in the settle
ment OF their accounts and this money
has been turned back into the treasury
Sums are also held for Campbell OF III
inois, Colson of Kentucky and Robbins OF
Pennsylvania who. like General Wheeler.
held commissions In the army and mem
bership in congress. The Bailey resolu
ton was addressed as much to them as
to General Wheeler. although, because OF
their lack OF prominence In tho civil war
and OF distinguished service In the Spanish
American struggle, they have not been SO
much discussed in It's connection.
The fact Is. to all fair-minded mon ana
sound reasoners. that the resolution upon
which the judiciary committee had no au-
thority, In the face OF a plain provision
OF the constitution. except to pass upon
favoraoiy. was submitted for no other pur.
pose than to call timely and courageous
attention to the establishment OF preoe.
dent in dangerous violation of organic
law.
There Is nothing wholesome nor sound IN
the ill-considered contention that because
tnese military congressman have not
drawn their pay they should therefore be
allowed to retain their places in congress,
since men are supposed to act In the ca
pacity Of agents to the districts that pro.
vide them with their credentials and TO
Do on hand during congressional sessions
No mere man. however eminent his ser.
Vices, should be weighed against the con-
xitution OF the United States and the
American people, when brought to a real
lzation Of the dangers logically and un-
avoidably attendant upon such maudllu
procedure. VIII not permit the psrnIoious
practice.
