Republicans Fiuht Trusts.

The assembly of the state of New
York has just passed al antitrust bill
by a vote of 1o5 to 81. The Republican
states are falling into line on this sub
ject with AS much spirit as Arkansas and
Texas. The greatest fight eve made
against the greatest monopoly, the
Standard Oil company, is now on in the
Republican state of Ohio, and the cham
pion of the people is the Republican at
torney general. The oil millionaires
are Democrats and in fact the Demo-
cratic party of Ohio elected one of them
to the United States senate d number of
years ago. In view of these facts and
in recollection of the Democratic syn
dictate bond dealers under Cleveland and
the sudden manner in which Cleveland,
Lamont, Whitney and others acquired
great riches and joined big corporations
and trusts as soon as they were out OF
Office if not while they were in, the
Democratic press had as well quit harp,
ing upon the charge that Republicans
| favor trusts. Croker. Flower and scores
of other Democratic big bugs are in the
| swim when it comes to trusts. The
suppression of trusts must be undertaken
by all parties, but it is idle to charge
their existence to either party.

READY TO ENLIST.
w rr,,,o

If the Democratic politicians who per-
sist in their effort to project the eXpan-
sion question into the next campaign
could read the signs about them intelli-
gently, they might be willing to allow
the party a chance to succeed in elect
ing a president next year. If they were
closer observers of public sentiment
they would sec that the retention of the
PHILIPPINES is a settled question. Pub
lie opinion can not be changed on this
subject. The islands will not be free,
at least for many years to come.
The supreme test of popular sentiment
is the readiness of the people to bleed
for it. The question was addressed to
the governors of many commonwealth
whether, if more troops should be need
ed in the Philippines, the men of their
respective states would enlist. The
governor of Georgia alone took the Hoar
view of the Philippine war. Several
state officials had already appealed to
the president to give their people a bet
ter chance to fight for their country's
cause than they were allowed in the
war with Spain. 1t is plain from this
that there would be no difficulty in get
ting all the soldiers even General Law
ton could fancy would be needed. 1t is
the blindest folly to hope for popular
favor for a party that denounces what
they offer their lives to accomplish.

Private Fortunes for Public Use.

Governments set no limits upon the
harvest of money that a successful man
may gather up from his less accumula-
tive fellows. And it is perhaps as wei
that it is so, for the accumulation of
money is an incentive to the exercise of
energy that brings development benefit
ing mankind. But there is equity in
holding that when the accumulation of
vast wealth has enjoyed the fruits of his
victory and dies, only a reasonable por-
ton of his wealth should go to descend
ents who never earned it. and are ofte n
unfit to use it wisely.
Some rich men consider that they owe
money to the public, or hold it in trust
from the people from whom they re-
ceived 1t. Baron Hirsch was one of the
men who took this view and before his
death applied a large portion Of his
money to establishing institutions for
helping his countrymen in their struggle
for success; his widow, who died but
recently, followed his example by leav-
ing so per cent of her fortune to public
institutions; to Paris schools and teach
ers she gave by will $1,000 900 and

The Divided Democracy.

In watching the rival dinner factions
in New York the public has been too
much amused to seriously consider the
import of the luminosity existing within
the Democratic party. If Republicans
were not so absolutely confident of the
reelection of President Mckinley they
would take some comfort from the state
of affairs in the discordant household of
the enemy.
The machine Democracy of New York
is determined not to have silver and
Bryan as the issues again. With the
Tammany element may be classcd Whit
ney and the solid element of the party.
But a considerable Bryan element has
grown up in that city, though it APP
pears to be poorly organized. Bryan,
however, will make no concessions.
The party must again swallow the Chi
cage platform. for he himself has said
it..
1t is true that the Democratic party is
only an organized appetite and has a
reputation for swallowing its alleged
convictions and giving the lie to its
protested principles. But it is difficult
to see how it can again swallow that
which it once gulped down and cast up.
The older politicians know that the
rank and file of the party still follow
Mr.. Bryan's band wagon because he is
making music on the continuing per-
Torrance order, and the opposition are
unable to determine how to start Il rival
attraction, though they will probably
never fall into line and join in the
parade to the tune of q one mar band
that can play only a pack number
time.

MCKINLEY IN MEXICO.
Herald. City of MnXicO.l

Mckinley is as adroit as Tilden; be is
flexible and knows how, apparently, to
bend to a popular storm, but he never
lets go of the helm. No mar is better
acquainted with the popular moods,
with the frownS of the tickle democracy
which roars and howls, and. finding the
object of it's anger unmoved, turns to
caress him and elevate him to its highest
place. Mckinley was eXiled forever, it
was thought, when his tariff was con-
demned; he was thrust into the outer
darkness of public oblivion. He bowed
his head, meditated well on American
history, sat patiently through the sue
cecding years, and the people relenting,
gave him the presidency. Why should
Mckinley care for mugwumps? I'm
ported political critics never dethroned
an American statesman, and Washing
ton survived the malignant tories and
faint-hearted ~semi-patriots of bis time.
He is a most interesting figure on the
canvas of u age. this Scotch-Irish
Mckinley, as subtle as a Talleyrand, as
plant as a Disraeli, and as doggedly
persistent as a Grant.

The recent execution of negroes by
Georgian may have been iustifiable but
the fiendish enjoyment of the scene and
the morbid act of people who cut off
fingers and toes to keep as souvenirs, is
inexplicable on any other theory than
that man is naturally a savage and
lapses back to his original condition
or CHASTITY has ever been charged to the
Apaches or the Tagals. Whiskey prob
ably had something to do with stimulat-
ing these G%eorgians to the actof mutila-
ton. but whiskey does not make a a
brutal unless he has in him the savage
instinct.

The government has made an order
applying the immigration laws of the
United States to Cuba, Puerto Rico and
the Philippines, so that paupers and
coolies cannot come into the country.
The secretary has also refused to issue
a passport to a prominent citizen of
Puerto Rico on the ground that while
the islands passed to the possession of
this country the transfer did not bestow
citizenship upon the residents. The
applicant has appealed to the courts
for an order compelling the department
to issue the passport. He probably de-
sires to travel in his native country
and is afraid the Spanish goblins will
get him.

statesmen are about as sharp

Travelling statesmen are about as sharp
a class of men as are engaged in business
and are quick to see any menace to
their interests. They have already dis
cerned in the consolidation of industries
by trusts, a probable reduction of sala-
ries and the discharge of many road
men. The Chicago branch of the order
has passed resolutions looking to the
organization of clubs all wei the coun-
try to oppose the encroachments of
trusts upon general lines Of business.
They have also declared that no reduc-
tions Of salaries will be permitted and
that the trusts employing them must
pay the rates that were in force prior to
consolidation of interests. Every mar
sees in the combination danger to him
self, and no organization of men is of
greater strength to resist and give trusts
a fight than the trade %drlmmers. They
say they will demand Legislation by the
ssyoxernment and by each state that will
destroy the concentration of capital and
a curtailment of the vast industries,
which eliminate competition.

There is a belief in some quarters
that a trust Incorporated in New Jer-
sey a few days ago has for it's object the
control of the price of wool of this coun-
try by not making competitive bids.
Western buyers, however, %strenuously
deny this. The glut in the market af-
ter the tariff law went into effect caused
a great decentralization of prices and the
eastern buyers as well as manufacturers
were greatly Inconvenience by a con
slant tendency to cancel orders. Ac-
cording to buyers the object of coop
GRAFTON among the Boston merchants is
to prevent cancellation Of orders by the
formation of central agencies, and is
not to beat down the western seller
when they bid on his wool product.
Western buyers assert that it would not
be possible to organize and maintain an
association to control the wool market
of the United States.
