alton has been put down, then SCUBA
ibre" will be heard again, and that
the only hope of the Cuban now.
But will the editor of the Tribune
xplain to us one thing? If it was
ense of right which prompted US to
cad off the blood-thirsty towards
q Cuba, what sense prompted us to
AXE up and continue the work of the
'blood-thirsty towards" in the Phil
ppines?
MUST BEG FOR GOODS.
minneapolis Times:
The wire nail trust has just shown |
itself to be the most aggressive and
he most advanced trust in the country. |
It has an absolute monopoly of the
output of wire nails, and has decided
hat it has therefore no need to push
he sale of it's product by the use of
salesmen.
The National Wire Nail company
has withdrawn every travelling man in
its service, and has decided to do with
out them in the future. An Office has
been established in Chicago and all
dealers who wish to purchase nails
must 90 to that Office or send check,
and agree to whatever prices the trust
may see fit to impose.
Instead of doing as manufacturers
have done in the past, this trust has
reversed matters and now the buyer
must do all the work while the trust
sits back calmly taking and filling the
orders when they are sent in. The
price Of wire nails has been advanced
100 per cent the past year. The whole
salers and hardware men in general
expect that the next step taken by the
trust will compel them to send men to
the warehouses to attend to the ship
ping of the articles which they have
bought, under the supervision of an
agent of the trust.
A HUMILIATING SPECTACLE.
New York World:
AS a Washington despatch in The
Worlds news columns relates in de-
tail, the Secretary of State, Mr.. Hay,
made the presentation of the Spanish
Ambassador Saturday the occasion
for the Introduction of the pomp and
ceremony of "empire." State carri.
age, cockades, rosettes, decorated
brides, footmen in livery, &C., &c.,
read like an imitation of the circus
parades of the monarchies of the Old
World. Only it was not even brilliant
and was furthermore in execrably baG
taste. What can have possessed the
the administration to make an exhibi
ton of the representative of the coun
try we have just defeated, to draw hin
through the streets of the national
capital in Enthusiastically dedeckei
triumphal car? Whoever devised this
degradation of the unhappy Spanish
Minister has through his vulgarit,
Inundated the nation. We do no
"gloat" over a fallen foe.

Col. Bryan will never be presiden
of the United States by the grace o
the people. The silver men of tn
Montana region will never give thei
consent to his running, at least the,
cannot hold their views sacred. The,
picked the Nebraska colonel up dur
ing the last campaign and helped t.
make his way pleasant. Now the Col
is stepping on their interests by hi
thrusts against trusts. There is per
haps no more gigantic trust in tn
world than the silver trust and tn
Montana people are its father an
they live by it. The trust is not onl
national but international and imag
ination fails to picture it's field or it
capital. We admire the colonies
GOODNESS in coming out against til
men who made him great in '96 bu
we think he displays very poor judg
ment in thus antagonizing them if h
expects to be their candidate in 1900

Editor Wharton is not honestly mis-
taken in his views, but the abov
stamps him as being decidedly other

A general and universal society c
grain growers was knocked on th
head, and a little "side show" cor
stituted of grain handlers and ware
housemen set up in its place. w
were to get clear Of Peavey & Co
and we put ourselves in the hands {
Eric Olson and Co. The farmers wer
to have a division of the commission
on wheat sales, amounting to million
but Olson & Co. stepped up and, sal
they would take them.
