their utmost last night to carry the i'm

witness the grand and realistic repro

represents the Spanish fleet anchored
in the harbor Of aAniIa bay, with their
flags and banners flying in defiance of
the Americans who are anchored just
outside of the bay, but when the Amer
lean ships appear they arouse the en-
thusiasm in the crowd to a mighty
shout that could be heard for miles.
The performance concludes with a
grand aerial and water fireworks dis
play.

AsTER THOUGHTS.

The voice of the Idaho Demo-
Gratis is very soft and low on he
subject of government by iniunc-
ton just now.
In Idaho the Democracy is La.
bic to be SO busy taking care e.
its own scandals that it can't even
pay respectful attention to armv
beef.
Governor Steunenberg is grad
ually yielding to the interview
habit. We admonish him 70
break off. As long as he main
tains an imperturbable silence, his
speech is above reproach.
The Democratic platform for
1900 is to be "more money and
less taxes" Just as well make i
all heaven and no hell. Ii would
amount 10 the same thing as far
as practical results are concerned.
Democratic papers will please
take notice that General Merriam
has not issued a single order in
connection with the suppression
Of the Cmur d'Alene riots. He
has simply followed the directions
given by the governor of Idaho.

WHITE PINE.

The Idaho Leader, published
at the village of Nampa, anc
which, no doubt, aims to be a
fair and reliable newspaper, on
May 5, gave about two columns
OF space to an exposition of the
celebrated "white pine cases."
The whole tenor and coloring of
the articles in the Leader design
ed to prove that the State had
won a signal victory over fraudu-
lent homesteaders and that the
State officials had been entirely
sustained in their contention. In
closing one of its articles the
Leader says: "This decision
ends controversy that has been
of only bitterness and
and that has been ex-
tremely discreditable to some Of
those engaged in it," The deci-
sion in question Tended the con-
troversy" in respect only of a
very insignificant part fit. That
the controversy was extremely
to some of those en-
gagged in it" admits of no doubt
but the odium does not attach
where the Leader evidently wish |
IS 1t did. 1t were well indeed If
I the controversy had been "pro- |
iuctive of only bitterness and |

are concerned. Editorially the
Leader is pleased 10 say:
It is a pleasant reflection that
the Republican administration ~
Washington has thus joined hands
with tile Democratic administra-
tion in Idaho, to arrest and sup
Dress this sinister conspiracy
against the interests and rights or
lie commonwealth. This decision
not only exposes Tie nefarious
methods of these timber land
sharks. but effectually establishes
The rights of the State and OF
public institutions to the benefits
secured to them under the Act OF
1891.
That is all very lovely and
beautiful but at the same time
decidedly false and misleading.
The fraternal hand clasp between
the Republican administration at
Washington and the Democratic
administration in Idaho was a
very chilly and formal affair, and
especially dishcartening to the
hand on the Idaho side. There
was in controversy $500 acres in
all and on account of the bunC-
ling errors of State officials the
estate and its public Institutions"
lost 400 acres Of it. There was
Mt much exposure of the "nefar-
ious methods of these timber
land sharks" about that, but there
was a considerable exposure of
official incompetency on the part
of the Democratic administration
in Idaho. There were all told 80
contested cases, and the alleged
land sharks got away with 26 Of
them. That was the kind Of
hand-joining that happened. The
truth Of the matter is that the
State officials committed errors
by which they virtually forfeited
the States rights in the whole Of
the $500, but it was found that of
the 80 adverse claims, four were
fraudulent and they were set
aside. 1t was not decided, how
ever, that the land covered by
these fraudulent entries belonged
to the State, but as the State has
a priority of privilege, it may Sc
cure the land if the officials have
sense enough to do it.

IlOIl. Representatives, VI }
the financially weak concerns
meet and they find that each has
board Of directors, president.
a secretary and a treasurer, all
drawing fat salaries. They as
certain that by forming a combi-
nation, or trust, they can get
along with one fifteenth of those
officials and thereby reduce ex-
penses TO the extent of $4,000
or 100000 a year. They also
discover that numerous other
items of expense can be cut down
materially or Topped off altogeth-
er. Finally after many confer
ences they figure out so that they
can increase the wages of actual
labor, maintain low prices and
have left a small margin of profit.
Eventually the trust is formed
While this is going on in Mas
sachusetts the same thing is oc-
curing in hundreds of other
places and businesses. The net
result is a perceptible reduction in
cost of production largely at the
expense of a lot of high salaried
supernumeraries. This is what we
call a good trust, because it makes
its profits depend on a saving in
cost of production rather than en-
hancement Of prices or reduction
of the wage of honest toll. Of
course there are other kinds of
trusts which seek to reap profits
through enhancing prices and re-
ducing wages. These are bad.
But after all is said, low prices
arc at the bottom of all industrial
and commercial combinations.
Labor forms trusts for the same
reason that capital does, i. G., to
advance profits. If all the people
of all the world were making sat-
isfactory profits out of their mus
Giles and money, working as in
dividuals, there wouldn't be a
trust in existence. Man is not
prone to share his prosperity with
anybody but the moment adver-
sity strikes him, he begins to look
about for partner. AS a result
Of the widespread depression SUI
perinduced by the policy of De-
mocracy under the reign of Gro
er the fat, thousands of business
men began hunting for partners,
succeeded in finding
them, and the harvest is the mag
nifcent crop Of trusts which has
in the last six months.
Those which have been formed
on correct principles and work to
beneficent ends will endure. The
vicious will destroy themselves,
and about nine-tenths of all of
them will go up in smoke before
he expiration of McKinley's sec
md term.
