BY EDWARD G. DANA.

With the elect on of a senator in
view and with several able-bodicd
candidates in the field the run for
the next legislative ought to take on
a moderately lively hustle. The
members of the next assembly will
be worth knowing and, too, it ought
to be worth something to be repre-
sentative. There'll be other things
than the governoIship to think about
next year and it is likely to be an in
teresting twelve-month politically.

Even eliminating from our consid-

the constitutionality of such a law
be seriously assaulted it might posi-

the maintenance of public as against

Samuel Gompers, head of the la
Dor federation of this country, says
his organization and the laboring
men generally are opposed to the
doctrine of expansion. He puts the
moral side of the case in this way
elf the republican form of govern
ment was ever right, it is right now,
and what was wrong in Spain is
wrong in the United States. If i.
was right for the founders of this
government to fight for free govern
ment, it is not, today, right to fight
against it. We are today fighting
against the only Asiatic country that
has ever made an attempt to estab-
lish a republican form of govern
ment, and we are today seriously
considering taking part in a plan to
divide up China because it will help
our trade"

The NeWananer Trust.

The biggest trust after all Is the
country newspaper, says an exchange.
1t trusts almost everybody, and for
that reason the people like it. 1t is the
only trust on earth that is worked TO
the limit and the only trust where the
proprietor gets the smallest share of the
dividends. Every city in the state has
a branch office in this trust and the
trusting soul who goes down In his
pocket for the dust to keep this trust
going is abused like pirate if he even
hints that his paper needs something
besides air to keep his trust inflated.

Prices on the Rise.

There is general upward tendency
in all kind of groceries and provisions
with possibly the exception of sugars
and coffees. There are several reasons
for this. There is an upward trend of
business, and this causes retailers TO
look ahead ALI houses are buying in
larger quantities this spring than for
some time past. This, of course, is
making an enormous draft on the gen
eral supply in the hands of jobbers and
wholesalers. Then the failure of the
fruit crop last season in the prolific
fruit telts of the country mas affected
al kinds of canned and dried fruits,
which have advanced fully 20 per cent,
while all other grocery supplies. except
coffee and sugar have advanced fully 10
per cent. The local retail trade has
hardly felt the advance as yet, but as
stocks on hand are exhausted In certain
lines there will be perceptible but not
an alarming advance in prices.
