Manchester is to have one of the
greatest platform orators of the day in
the person of Thos. McClary, who will
appear in the Y. M. G. A. Star Course,

This will be the second number on

one hundred and twenty dollars yet to

money off of the lectures, but does
want it to pay for itself. They only
put it on for the benefit of this people
OF the city. In arranging for the
course they figured on the people re-
serving the seats, and very large

holding the dollar tickets who wish to

all the center part and the first five

held or reserved during the entire

UNLESS the legislature Or congress
or some other competent authority
takes hold Of the question Of trusts
this country is soon going to be- con
fronted with a condition that will be
prod ActiveSof revolution in one formeol'
another. It's getting so that almost
every article manufactured or pro
duced is controlled directly or indi-
rectly by atrust. Butfew ofjthe trusts
can resist the temptation to regulate
prices in such a way as to giveSthe
trusts the highest margin Of profit and
the people the worst OF the bargain.
The courts declare themselves income
petent to: deal with them under the
existing laws, and they say that State
legislatures cannot control them be-
cause of a conflict with the Interstate
commerce law. . The Sherman anti
trust law, they say, does not reach
them, and all the trusts have to dois
to go over into New Jersey or West
Virginia and incorporate, and go out
and sock it to the people. The trusts
must receive treatment at the hands
of the next presidential platform. =

If the legislature is so short-sighted
as to make no provision for the main
tenance of the system for forest pro:
lection it will not be because of a lack
Of knowledge of the requirements.
The report Of the state fire warden
lays the subject bare, and suffices to
thoroughly familiarize the legislature
with the needs of the State, and the
essentials for protection against forest
fires. There seems to be a disposition
upon the part of certain members.
noticeably those from the prairie dis
tricts to sheer and slur at the law pro-
viding for a fire warden, and some of
them have declared it useless ex-
pense. There is, however, no position
in the State, which if properly filled.
will result in greater or more direct
good to the State than that of the fire
warden, and no officer of the State has
performed his duty more conscien-
tiously and faithfully than Gen. An
drews, during his term of service. It
i'll becomes the fresh young men of the
house to speak disparagingly of a man
who has grown gray in the service of
the State, in war and peace, and whose
life has been an honorable and useful
one. The Office was not created as
political snap for some political
hanger-on, and Gen. Andrews was not
appointed for political reasons, but be-
cause he was peculiarly fitted for the
position, by reason of his experience
and fitness in public affairs.

ABOUT the only charge

ABOUT the only charge that has
been made against the members of the
thirteenth Minnesota volunteers in
the Philippines, is that they were so
anxious for a fight that they took
chances of court martial to get into
one. The American volunteer is prov
erbially the best field soldier and the
worst camp soldier in the world. He
takes to fighting like a duck takes to
water, and he hates discipline worse
than an Indian hates work. BY this
time the boys are probably so busy
fighting that the court martial has
taken vacation, and the charges will
be forgotten before any. serious conse-
quences result ~. At. " ~

The Wilson parole bill will probably
be discussed in committee of the whole
in the house to-day or: tomorrow, and
the indications are that it will pass as
it came from the senate. The, bill
simply provides that the board of
prison managers may recommend to
the State Board of Pardons the parole
OF a prisoner who has served 20 years
Imprisonment in the penitentiary, and
II the latter board unanimously ap-
proves of the recommendation the
prisoner may be paroled. The board
OF pardons consists Of the governor,
chief justice of the supreme court and
attorney general. There. is nothing
very alarming about such a bill. Yet
some of the good people Of Northfield
and a number of country editors seem
to think otherwise. why? Because

THE advance in wages throughout
the country has become so general that
even the Populist papers are forced to
admit it, and in doing so they make
some of the wryest faces and some Of
the funniest excuses imaginable. They
reluctantly admit the advance and
conceive it to be political conspiracy
promoted by Mark Hanna to delude
the people. Here is a statement made
IN all apparent sincerity by the St.
Paul Broad Ace, an ultra-Populist
sheet published by the deputy labor
commissioner.
This raise is not natural one. It is a. .6c-
tlon. The laborer neither lives better nor feels
better, but he is deceived, just as he ALWAYS
has been and just as perhaps, he always will
be, by figures. He is juggled. Given more on
one end while still more is taken off the other
Is it possible that anyone could seri-
ously entertain such an absurd view as
this? The idea that politicians for
political effect could get together and
order a 10 per cent. advance in the
wages of men engaged in a hundred
different industries. is so preposterous
as to be absolutely ludicrous. Wages,
like merchandise go up or down ac-
cording to the memorable rule of sup
ply and demand. When there is an
increased demand for certain COM
modify, the price goes up accordingly,
and with it demand for the labor en-
ployed in its production, and with this
greater demand for labor the wages in
that occupation ,.go up ALSO. The ad-
vance in wages is in response to the
natural law of commerce, the one law
that is self protective, the law of sup
ply and demand, and any man who
would misunderstood or mis-state, so

The Irish Standard says that the
news reports from Manila are sub
]ected to so close a censorship that
they are unreliable and read as if made

such were the facts the letters written

different story. The press dispatches

ters from the front written by the COM
