lessly and inteIIigently" break every sacred promise made concerning trusts.
 It is astonishing how this sort of hypocritical cant manages to fool the people. It won victory for the repub- lican party in 1896 and the same tac- tics are to be followed in 1900.
 How voters can believe for one mo- ment the men who lied to them three years ago, who have broken every promise made them whenever political expediency seemed to demand such per fidy, is question which must remain a puzzle.
 That the republicans are preparing to hedge on the trust question is evil dent from Hanna's declarations. Will the people allow this arch trickster to fool them again and yet again? It is to be hoped that they wifi not, but hope seems almost vain in the light of past experiences.-Chicago Democrat.

OPINIONS AND POINTERS,

--"Civil service reform" remarks the Watertown Standard, seems to go steady by jerks." That last jerk which Mckinley gave it nearly broke its neck. Albany Argus.
 President Mckinley has made grave blunder in his latest executive or der, and has disheartened the friends of good government by taking the back ward step he pledged himself, his party and the country not to take.-Philadei- phia Ledger.
 Some of the republican editors are laboring hard with coats off and electric fans going, to prove that the presidents recent order is really an- other advance step in civil service re- form, but the republican spoilsmen are getting upon their chairs and bowling with delight.-Louisville Courier-J our nal.
 The condition of politics in Ohio is strikingly illustrated in the an- nouncement of the results of the Co., lumbus convention. The public is in formed that 70. K. Nash, the favorite of Senator Hanna, was nominated for governor" and "I. A. Caldwell, the fa- vorite of George B. Cox, was nominated for lieutenant governor" Nothing is said in the entire report as to the de sire of tbe people.-Kansas City Star.

believe that the tariff can be made club to beat rivals. They do not recog- nize the fact that the present trouble is the result of the club rebounding on their own heads. The Canadian hostil- ity is the result of our mistaken policy of Dingleyism. We were going to club Canada. But the people across the line discovered way to make the club re- act, and they are doing it. We put a duty on Canadian lumber to ''pro tect" American numbering interests. Canada puts an export duty on logs and says: "If you want our lumber you must saw it on this side" According to the Washington policy this would be high statesmanship on the part of Canada. But Washington is going to 'retaliate" on Canada for protecting" her own in- dustries.. But as sure as we do it the club will react again on our own heads. We will be merely going deeper into the mire than we now are. The pernicious Dingley tariff is at the bottom of the difficulty between the United States and Canada. If we meet Canada on the basis of fair reciprocity instead of on the basis of retaliation by stronger nation upon a weaker one, there would be no delay in settling the difference between the two countries. To what pernicious lengths the tariff evil can penetrate is aptly illustrated by the present situation between this country and our northern neighbor.-Utica Ob- server.

A RESULT OF D1NGLEYIsM
gendered Between the United States and Canada.

Washington dispatches are very se- we're on Canada just now because the Canadian government has imposed some pretty harsh regulations on Amer jeans who have been dabbling in busi- ness on the other side of the line. There
 is also wrath in Washington because Canada stands in the way of the settle ment of the boundary dispute between Alaska and British territory. Wash ington is full of threats of retaliation against the Canadians for their inso- lence in trying to interfere with the business plans of our lumber kings. It is said that:
 'The treasury department will take a prominent part in the dispute between Canada and the United States, and with in a short time a commercial war will be waging between the two. Canada has prohibited the exportatioh of logs from the province of Ontario. Its object is to force American sawmills this side the line along the border to relocate in Canada near the source of supply of for est products. To meet this Secretary Gage, at the instance of the state depart ment. is preparing a retaliatory meas ure. to force the Canadians to terms It will begin with the issuance of an or der prohibiting the importation of Cam adian. logs into the United States. and may be extended until Canada and this country are involved in retaliatory com mercial war affecting all products.
 'The attitude of Canada was considered at a meeting of the cabinet, and this stand of the state department was approved It is the opinion of cabinet members that Canada will have to be brought to terms before there can be any further efforts to peaceably settle the mooted questions, an that retaliation is the quickest method"
 It is quite probable that the short. sighted policy of retaliation will be adopted. The blind believers in the eff ficacy of the tariff to do all things are in the saddle at Washington. They

BEAR MEAT IN LONDON,
A Consignment of Half . Doxeu Frssen Carcasses Received
 from Russia.

A consignment of frozen Russian bears arrived at Leadenhall market one day recently. Six came in their skins a black, brown, two half-grown beara and two cubs-and in addition there were GO pounds of ursine joints, steaks and outlets. A correspondent informs us that he inquired how far the specula. tion in bears meat had been justified by results. Gone, all gone," said MT Tabor, save that joint hanging there which you may have home with you if so minded" It needed more courage to accept than decline with thanks.
 "See there," pressed Mr. Tabor, en. couragingly, at the same time produc. ing q bulging mat-basket, containing about baron of bear. "A gentleman Of light and leading in the Fourth Els tate will call for it shortly" And he old' MT. Tabor straightway introducing the epicurs and the skeptic. The val. iant trenchman then pronounced a glowing eulogium on the succulence of ursine flesh, which may possibly blos- som into Dissertation on Roast Bear n one of the new Sunday papers should righteous indignation spare them long enough. In his view. bear tasted as sweet as Southdown sheen and the British palate was ridiculously squeamish. He strodeaway as jauntily as man goes to feast.
 The salesman, resuming, said the six pears had all gone to restaurateurs m west. He supposed they were eaten now, though whether digested he could not say. They brought two shillings per pound in London. While hanging Tn the market the bears attracted biz. ger crowds of curious spectators than ever gathered around bear at the Zoo London News.

HANNA'S DECLARATIONS.
Republicans Are Getting Ready to Draw in Their Lines on the
 Trust Question.

Senator Hanna, having conciliated opposition in his own party in his own state, not this time with an ax," but with the making of some 400 promises to give opponents that many federal jobs recently released from civil service rules by Mckinley, now comes forward with the announcement that the matter of trusts is by no means political ques- tion.
 With a fine grasp of the situation Hanna serves notice on all those who oppose the trusts, and especially on all democrats, that this matter "cannot be made a party issue."
 With splendid hypocrisy, Mark Han- ma says that the next republican na- tional convention will meet this ques- tion fearlessly and intelligently, with out the hysteria of prejudice and popu- lism, but with due regard to the actual effects of these combinations upon la- bor and competition. That platform will not declare for confiscation or re- pudiation.. It will carefully differen- tiate between the combinations that re- duce the price of commodities to the consumers and those that seek to limit production, thus increasing prices and diminishing the opportunities for la bor."
 No doubt Hanna is correct. The re- publican national convention will meet the trust question just as ''fearlessly' and just as ''intelligently" as the St. Louis republican convention met the question of bimetallism and of civil service.
 And after it has thus ''fearlessly and intelligently" met the trust question, if it secures votes enough to put it in power, the republican party will "fear-

The Philippine Outlook.

President Mckinley is facing a very serious difficulty in the definitely ac- knowledged necessity for the sending of additional troops to the Philippines and the confessed likelihood that the war in these islands is to be protracted far beyond the time limit set by even the most apprehensive persons at its beginning. It now seems extremely probable that before the war is ended there will be call for volunteers to supplement the full strength of the regular commands available for use in the Philippines campaign. There is no question as to the promptness with which such call would meet with a satisfactory response. The national pride of the people of the United States will make this response certain. But it will not silence adverse criticism of bungling methods responsible for the war. With the rainy season in the tropics now intervening to check the movements of the American army, it is virtually certain that the war will be prolonged into the presidential cam paign opening next spring, and that its conduct and the causes leading to such a situation will figure very largely in that campaign. This prospect must be anything but satisfactory to the ad- ministration.-St. Louis Republic.
