congress will have to examine the subject thor.
oughly, and whenever they find trust is de-
pendent for its exorbitant profits largely on pro-
tective duties, it will lie the duty of Republican
congressman and senators to remove the duties
al once. We cannot stop short of that The
duties must be repealed when it is shown that
the trusts are benefting by them. This should
be done with the duty on steel rails and on tin
plate We can make steel rails at fair profit
cheaper than anywhere else in the world, and
the present price is outrageous. The Republi-
can party may win at the polls in 1900 because
of the remarkable achievements of our army
and navy i'll the last two years, but legislation
against trusts should not be delayed on that ac-
count.
"The turning of this country's affairs over
to such man as Bryan would be the worst
thing that could happen. No one could meas
ure the consequence if Bryan and his friends
once get chance 10 try out their hair-brained
experiments. If we don't set our house in or
der, the people will take control of the nation
away from the Republicans.
"'The Republican party mas the brains and
courage to tackle the trust problem if the grav-
ity of the situation is brought home to the
party leaders. Something should be done at
once"

MONEY got little short in the New York
banks the other day, and delegation of such
fellows as ]. Pierpont Morgan started tor
Washington post haste to tell the secretary of
the treasury to deposit some more government
funds in the banks for them to do business on.
This is the story told under big head lines in
that thick-and-thin administration organ, the
ST. Louis Globe Democrat, on Tuesday last.
1t would be very convenient thing for lots of
other men, when their deposits run low, to
have the government come to their relief; but
only bankers, and wayup bankers at that, are
Carried by the United States government.
When will the people learn to administer their
government agency in the interests of all, in
stead of permitting it to be made the medium
for furnishing special favors for the few?-Kan-

Funny Old Days.

Lew Hadey, of the Gaylord Herald, fell into
a reminicent mood short time ago, and wrote
an article on the funny old Populist days of
90 On looking back over that period, we
agree with Lew that many funny things did
occur For instance, how funny it was to have
Joe Hudson as chairman of the resolution COM
nittee of the Republican state convention re-
port plank in the platform in favor of the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of I6 to 1; and
then to remember that George T. Anthony
made speech favoring the resolution and stat
ing that under the wise provision of Republi-
can legislation, silver would be on parity
with gold inside of eighteen months. Yes,
that was one of the funny things that hap
pened in the funny days of go and the few
years following; and how very funny it was to
see Captain Mcdowell, of Smith Centre, wear
ing free silver badge at the Republican con-
vention in ga, which was pinned OIL the lapel
of his coat by Cy Leland; and the fun still
goes on. How ineXpressibly funny it is to see
Republican conventions adopting antitrust
resolutions, and then have Attorney General
GODDARD say that we had by legislation pre-
vented any such organization, and it has had
the effect of driving many manufactures out
of business in Kansas, and he favors change
in the law so as to permit these combinations.
And say, Lew, what do you think of the gov
ernor's attitude on the suppression of the
Klondike Joints? After months of buster and
noise, the joints still doing business at the
same old stand, and the only result accom-
plisled so far is the payment of $500 out of his
contingent fund to a Democra. lawyer from
L,avenworth. Very funny, isn't it? And then
you remember how your fellow townsman
McNll was fired from the Office of superin-
tendent of insurance because the examination
fees collected were not turned into the state
treasury, and yet his successor is following the
same beaten path. This Is also funny. But
space forbids mention of tine many other funny
things that happened and are happening in
this funny world of ours.-Ottawa Republi-

Why rhe FilipinOS Cannot Be Suppressed.

| an article for the Kansas City STAR At
why it may be impossible to close the 'Klorl-
dixie" which when applied to the Philippine
question is very suggestive. We quote as fol-
lows:
"lopeka, August 22.-Attorney-Gen
GODDARD has returned from Leavenworth, where
he went with Governor Stanley last night to
confer with local attorneys employed in the
movement to suppress the "Klondlke" joint
evil near the Soldiers Home. Mr.. GODDARD
talked cautiously to reporters when they sought
for all interview this afternoon, and his utter
ances were so vague that they gave very little
Information concerning the intentions of the
administration. Following is what he said:
After my return to Topeka after an absense
of five weeks, Governor Stanley and l had a
conference relative to the 'Kondke' evil in
Leavenworth county and we are devising plan
of action The task is troublesome one, and
the obstacles in the way of suppressing the
evil are great. TO begin with, the sentiment
of the people over there is in favor of permit
ting the sale of Intoxicating liquors. There
are people in the county who do not believe in
Furnishing person for selling liquors, and who
under no circumstances, if on a jury, would
vote for their conviction. At least, this is the
information get. This sentiment may effect
the officers more or less in the discharge of
their duties.
"The persons who are selling liquors in the
'Klondike' settlement have friendly or business
relations with many persons outside. Inhuen-
tial citizens of the county own property in or
about the 'Klondike' that would be injured by
the suppression of the liquor traffic there. Per-
sons who are opposed to the Republican party,
or the State administration or who dislike the
management of the Soldiers Home, are apt to
obstruct the movement to suppress the sale of
liquors. The wholesale houses furnishing sup
plies to the 'Klondke' saloons naturally are de-
sirous of having 10 change i'll the conditions
there, and if we begin fight, would bring all
their influence to bear against us. Others may
fear that raid on 'Klondike might mean
financial loss to them for one reason or another,
aud would oppose our movement. On account
of all this, do not care to promise what shall
be done except to say that an earnest determi-
nation to accomplish results in the premises in
spires both Governor Stanley and myself. We
prefer that we shall be judged by our actions
after they have been taken, rather than make
any promises of what we will accomplish -
Now we quote from this article the following
reasons why the Filipinos cannot be sup
pressed:

1861. His first service was on the
Swatara in the West Indies and IN the
European squadron. He became an
Ensign in 1866, Master in 1868 and a
Lieutenant in 1869, when he was at
tached to the Port Admirals ship

A FRUIT SUPPLY.

Col. Warning used to tell the story of
his visit to a town in North Carolina,
where he found the drinking water
generally bad and malarial diseases
common He said to merchant in
the town: Il see a fine stream of wa
ter not over half a mile from this
town. Why don't your people tap it,
and bring pure water TO your homes?
1t won't ccost much TO do it. We'll,
| reckon, said the merchant, tit
ought to be done by somebody. We're
all turning yellow here. l reckon
somebody1l come along and do it for
us some day But you are losing
health and comfort all the time said
the Colonel Il reckon" said the mer-
chant, this community amt built for
comfort It's built for the fever, and
/ sell 'em quinine. More money in it
than in. water
The absence of a local supply Of
fruit in these Islands suggests that
this community takes the same view
about comfort and health.
1t was thoroughly proven many
years ago, that excellent peaches may
be grown here Instead of cultiyating
them so as to obtain a large and cheap
supply, we import our peaches from
California and make them luxury
rather than a common food.
In spreckelsville and in Paia, Maui,
there was lately seen the unusual
spectacle of a Portuguese peddler,
with his wagon loaded with baskets
of large, ripe, luscious peaches. These
he sold at fifty cents per basket, which
is about the price of peaches on the
Mainland The quality of this fruit
settled any doubt about the capacity
of the soil and climate. Capt Makee
made the proof of this at Ulupalakua
many years ago.
The fruit rafsers complain Of the
high freight rates, which, they say,
deprives them of profit, and discour-
ages enterprise. 1t is said that the
cost of transportation is higher than
il is from San Francisco to this port.
Such a rate may be excessive or 1t
NAV be moderate. The Central Pa
cific Company carries a box Of oranges
by rail for 5000 miles at a cost of 20
cents. Nearly the same charge is
made for only water transportation OF
eighty miles in these Islands. These

The PACIFIC
C.P. HUNTINGTON AND EDUCATION.

Mr.. G. p. Huntington, in his speech
to the railroad men in San Francisco,
made in the last month, discouraged
the higher education" He gloried in
the practical success Of the Americans.
without saying so, he virtually pre-
scented himself to- the public as a
grand type of the successful American;
Of the American who succeeds without
education. But the prominent edu-
Gators do not of course agree with him,
and tell him that his own lack of edu-
cation makes him take altogether mar
row views of the matter
When Mr.. Huntington, with his as
sociates, proposed in 1866 to construct
"a railway across the Sierra Neyadas,
he trusted to the educated engineers
to do what the common people said
was impossible. He made his fortune
out of educated men. He was able, on
the other hand, without their assist
ance, to grab the bounties given by
Congress to the railways and do many
other things which the men Of higher
education often decline TO do.
Mr.. Huntington has always, it is
well known, taken rather extreme
views on the matter of education. He
is a believer in a useful education. He
would require, if he'had the power to
do so, that every young man and wo-
i'm, he
art of making a living. He was one
of those who quickly endorsed the
plan of giving the young negroes an
Industrial education, and gave consid-
cradle sums for that purpose. He is a
steadfast friend of the theory of edu-
eating the young to Increase then
wants, and of educating them in the
ways of supplying their wants. He
believes that much time is wasted il
getting Quotations. That need not be
disputed. So there is much time vast
ed in trying to make money Mr.
Huntington knows that too. One error
is as unfortunate as the other.
Mr.. Huntington likes to see success
full" men, that is, men who have large
bank accounts. But he does not seem
to recognize the fact that the bank ac-
count fixes the mans character, just
as the Ind u estimated the white
mans character by his ownership o.
a rife.
Mr.. Huntington is nearly eighty
years of age. He has for some time
presented the American people will
what Mark Twain calls picturesque
moral character" Probably if vot
were taken on the subject, the major
ity of the people would vote him to b.
one of the great Americans. At tn
same time his example is one that tn
churches and the educators are con
demning.

facts do not Justify demand for cor
responding rates. The Inter-Island
steamers would undoubtedly reduce
their freight rates provided the offer
of freight was largely increased. Bun
it is in the power of the navigation
companies TO encourage the fruit and
vegetable trade Of the other islands.

developed the same traffic between the
Southern and Northern States by
tempting the Southern farmers. with

TO SECOND HIS NOMINATION
Had a Mastery Speech Already
Prepared, but Destroyed It
When He Went Over to
the Burns Camp.

all the traces of the dictated speech
have been obliterated.
In a general way at first. and sub
sequently in a detailed manner, Jilson
explained how he got into the Grant
camp and how he took shelter in the
Burns fold. He related that Senator
Perkins wanted a southern man elected
Senator and was favorable TO Grant.
Jilson wanted to oblige his friend Per-
kins, and so consulted with Milton ].
Green.
The assurance came from Green that
Grant was very strong, so strong that
he would be elected United States SEN
ator on the second ballot. Comment
ing further on this information, Jilson
said:
Il voted for Grant on the first ballot
| and did promise that I would make a
speech in the joint Assembly, second
ing the nomination of Grant. but when
l saw that he only received twenty
seven votes on that ballot 1 concluded
that he was not in the race. Now. nv
people in Siskiyou want something, and
as I found that Grant was not in the
favor of the State administration I
changed my mind after the first ballot
and voted for Burns"
Regarding the statement that s400
was placed in his district in the inter
est of Grant, and that person would
testify that the money was paid to him
(Jilson), the Assemblyman replied:
Wait until he testifies before you
publish that statement. He will not
testify that the money was paid for
Grant, or that it was Grant money. Be
fore you publish any statement of this
character wait until he testifies to the
conditions of the payment of money.
There was no money Id to me for my
canvass or for my support of any can
didate. Yes, I know that he is a truth
full man and will tell the whole story
straight"
