A territorial government is likely
to be extended to Porto Rico at
an early day. Hawaii will be
somewhat later in getting this re-
gime, owing to the preponderance
of Asiatic and other inferior peo-
pies among her population. Cuba
after the formal annexation takes
place, will probably soon fit itself
for the enjoyment of all the privil-
eyes of American citizenship.

There is certainly room for
some decrease when the volume
of payments through the clearing
house in July is 47.2 per cent.
larger than last year, and 500 per
cent. larger than in 1892, the best
of all previous years. So great
an advance would warrant ex-
pectation of some set back under
ordinary circumstances. This
year the unusual freedom from
labor troubles about July Ist is
followed by some signs of a tend
ency to strike because great
works are committed far ahead,
and cannot halt without loss. 1t
is said that ore handlers are try
ing to block the movement of
iron ore by the Lakes, and
freight handlers have made some
trouble on eastern lines, while
several thousand iron workers at
Youngstown are striking for an
other advance in wages. But in
terruption of business by labor
troubles of all sorts has been less
than in any other July for years,

A GOOD THING.

The following is a part of the
Ohio Platform, of the Republican
party, in regard to trusts. 49,
We commend the action Of the
LXXIIIrd General Assembly, Of
Ohio in passing the stringent law
now on our statute books pro-
hibiting the organization of trusts
and we denounce such unlawful
combinations as inimical ito the
to the interests of the people.
We congratulate the people Of
the state upon the fact that Re-
publican Legislature enacted this
law, and we demand its rigid
enforcement.
We pledge our party to such
further Legislation as experience
may determine necessary to pre-
vent the formation and operation
Of such iniquitous and dangerous
combinations. -Black-foot HAL.

much honor can not be paid to
these characteristics. In the

duties, he is wont frequently to
drop everything for few mo-

For two generations it has been
the rule of the democratic party
that its successful candidates for
the presidency must receive the
two thirds vote of the nominating
conventions. Mr.. Bryan and his
friends desire this changed, and
want the candidate who receives
majority of the votes of dele
gates in next years convention
declared the nominee, The
reason of this demand is plain.
The bitter fight being waged
against Mr.. Bryan by the demo-
Gratis east and south makes it very
uncertain if he can ever secure a
two thirds vote in the convention;
whereas, if a majority vote
should nominate, his chances
would be materially improved.
No one realizes more than Mr..
Bryan that his influence in party
councils is fast waning; hence it
is he is making every possible
that will favor his cause next
year Lewiston Teller
