Hobart and ariges.

II will call your attention to the fact
that 10 1895 Mr.. Hobart was nominated
and thereafter declared elected to the

he was nominated? Has it ever &C.
Cured to you that he came from New

that this was the reason Of his nomina-

New Trusts.

The formation of trusts is goins
on so rapidly that it is difficult to
see what will be left outside for the
new century to begin business on.
A gigantic copper trust is one Of
the latest and it will put up the
price OF copper not less than 50
per cent. Its operations are not
confined to the United States, but
cover every important copper pro-
perty in the world. Its profits are
already estimated at 20 per cent

To Our Readers.

When THE UNION came into the
hands Of its present editor and
proprietor it was small in size,
neglected editorially and was
about as near a journalistic corpse
as a newspaper could be and still
appear once each week. Since
that time it has doubled in size,
has forged to the front rank of
Black Hills newspaperdom and is
nov paying its owner a fair return
for mis- labor and expenditure.
The old subscription price of $I.oo
per year has remained the same
and most Of its friends have stood
manfuily by it in its ups and
downs.
AT this time THE UNION desires
to remind its rapidly growing
ar ny Of readers that the expense
Of publication is considerable and
that owing to the increased size Of
the paper and its gener al improve
ment editorially and otherwise the
subscription price will be raised to
$I.5o per year on July Ist. Up
to that date subscriptions will be
received at the old rate Of Sl.oo
and arrearages may be squared on
that basis, but after July 1st the
rate will be 81. so to all. We feel
that the paper is worth this money
and Is cheap at that. AS in the
past, we will hew to the line, fight
ing Ithe battles of the common
people and opposing trust robbery,
the gold standard, Imperialism and
all that constitutes modern repub
licanism. That is our policy and
We expect to uphold it most Wig
oronsly first, last and all the time.
i il suits you, renew your sub
scription at the dollar rate before
uly lst, 1899, OF square your ar
rearages on that basis. Yours,

"Censoripe" the Mails.

The Atkinson incident is only one o:
many incongruities arising out Of the
anomalous position OF the United States
In the Philippines. The government,
in this case, finds that it cannot admit
copies Of its W documents into the
country which it has subdued. 1t is u
matter of regret that the government
should be forced to such measures to
sustain the presidents policy and it is
apparent that some of President Nc.
kinley's earlier %utterances regarding
terminal aggression" would be exclud-
ed from the Manila mail under this or
der OF the postmaster general.

Change in Chairmanship.

Chairman Jones of the national
democratic com mittee has gone to
Europe for his health. He has
turned the active work of the exc
cutive committee over to Col. ].
G.. Johnson, national committee
man from Kansas. Col. Johnson
was one Of the most capable men
connected with national head
quarters at Chicago and will keep
things moving. And a queer
thing about it is that the republi,
can managers are just discovering
that the democratic national com
nittee has been keeping up quiet
but effective work for the las,
eighteen months; party lines have
been strengthened, and there are
marked signs that the lethargy
which allowed the party to be
swamred in eastern states in 1896
has passed away. Bryan's recent
visit has stirred things up, Balti.
more has just buried its Republi
can mayor under a 9ooo adverse
majority. The Chicago platform
seems to be a pretty live issue
after all.

Degeneration of a Year

The though which seized hold uf us
a year ago that the Cubans should be, rid
of the Spanish yoke was a divine inspi-
ration, but not SO the thought of terrific
rial conquest which subsequently seized
hold upon the Washington government.
The first was the mighty and lofty SEN
timent which called the colonies to
arms a century add a quarter ago to
fight for human liberty. The second is
the sentiment which moved Spain four
centuries ago to cruise the seas in
search of lands and peoples to seize and
conquer. The first made America the
freest and richest nation in the world;
the second will send the nation back to
the days of Arragon and CASTLE if per.
sisted in.-Kansas City Times.

this phase Of the case.

That rotten beef was furnished
the soldiers in the field has been
proven by sworn testimony before
the board Of inquiry. That the
canned roast beef dealt out was an
experiment is admitted by the
board itself. That it was nauseat.
ing, unfit for use and that it bred
disease among the troops has also
been proven by sworn testimony.
That in score Of cases it caused
death there can he no doubt.
But according to this board oil
inquiry no one is to blame in par.
ticular. No punis hment is deal,
out to anyone. Cheap censures
form the horrible penalty inflicted.
And this is the report which Viii
liam Mckinley approves. says is
just and from which there is nc
appeal! He attaches his approval
to this whitewash Of criminals and
and shielding of incompeten1s!
But he and his ring OF rovalyt mus,

too grave to forgive or forget.

The Rule Of Blood and Iron,

The Atkinson incident is instructive
as revealing with more startling clear
ness than ever the despotic tendencies
of the irnperialist policy. 1t %uncovers
the temper which brooks no opposition
and will tolerate no criticism. The
mailed hand OF the rule of blood and
iron is being gradually disclosed, which
will next fall heavily upon freedom OF
speech within the old borders OF the
United States. 1t is impossible that
a national career Of conquest can be
persisted in without the impairment Of
that most cherished privilege under
the constitution.-Springfeld, Mass,

The Great Loyalty Trust.

This is an era of trusts, but the
latest thing in this line is what
might be termed the great loyalty
trust. No one is eligible to enter
this combination except republi-
cans who are willing 10 look upon
the national constitution as a
piece of sentimentality, support
the present administration in all
its hlunders and jobbery and line
up under the crack Of the Hanna
administration political whiplash.
All others are ''copperheads" and
.'traitors" and their expressions of
opinion are Unreasonable and Sc
ditious." In other words, the
opponents of Imperialism are "dis-
loyal"
The UNION would Join the Chi
cago Chronicle and ask: Disloyal
to what? To the constitution
Where in the constitution does the
president find power to make war
without the consent of congress?
Where in the constitution does
either the president or congress
find power to subjugate peoples
on the other side of the globe and
to offer them the alternative of alb
solute submission or determination?
No warrant is found in the consti-
tuition for adopting and pursuing
the policies and the methods oil
the remorseless conqueror. The
constitution does not make rebels
of those who never owed allegiance
to the United States and whom,
according to an accepted principle
of international law, Spain had nc
power to hand over as subjects to
our government.
Disloyal to what? To the foun-
|dation principles Of our govern
ment, to the doctrines Of liberty
as formulated in the declaration oil
independence and as crystallized
in the fundamental law Of the land7
These men who are so loudly de-
nounced as disloyal are above all
true to those principles and doc
trines. They are intelligently and
Indignantly true to them, while
the imperialists who yell s.~disloyal!'
are essentially, Though perhaps
unconsciously, false to them.

The Beef Inquiry Ends.

The Beef Inquiry Ends.
The board of inquiry which was
supposed to get at the bottom of
and ascertain the real truth of the
army beef scandals has reported
and that report has been approved
by President Mckinley and his
official associates.
The report is not remarkable.
1t is simply what was expected
when the farce commenced.
That deaths-scores Of them
could be traced to the rotten beef
and unfit rations dealt out the vol
uuteers there is no doubt, but &C
cording to the report of this board
OF inquiry, no one is particularly
to blame. No one is punished for
negligence, criminal or otherwise.
"Censures" are dealt out with a
lavish hand, but "censures' count
for naught SO far as the guilty
parties are concerned. They
come cheap. Take the Eagan
scandal for instance-"retired" for
six years on full pay
Gen. Miles, who to say the
least is no favorite with the ad-
ministration powers, is censured
for bringing to light the beef
scandals and protesting agains,
feeding the volunteers nauseatine
and disease breeding food.
Among the important points in the
report are:
Gen. Miles allegations that the
refrigerated beef was treated with
chemicals were not established.
Gen. Miles allegations concern
] .".L.fh sa.
ing the canned fresh or canned
roast beef were sustained as to it:
unsuitability for food as used or
the transports and as as a lone
continued field ratio
Censure of Gen. Miles for ser
ror" in failure to promptly notify
the secretary of war when he frs
formed the opinion that the foot
was unit.
Censure of the commissary gen
raj (then Gen. Eagan) for the toe
extensive purchases Of the canned
beef, as an untried ration.
The packers were not at fault,
and the meat supplied to the army
was Of the same quality as tina
supplied to the trade generally
and the recommendation that nc
further proceedings be taken il
the premises.
The whole report isa long lis
of cheap "censures'' for admins

still public criticism. Miles is
ensured also because the admins
