TRUSTS AND COMMON SENSE.

Another wicked trust heard from.
 The Republic Iron and Steel company.
 recently incorporated in New Jersey,
 begins business by raising the wages
 CT the puddIers and finishers in all Of the thirty-six companies within the 1 organization. Hardly was the meet
 ing called and the officers elected :na1
 resolution was passed giving m ad-
 vance Of twenty-five cents per t0n tc
 all puddlers, with a correspondiu~ in- crease in the wages of the finislers.
 And tackled tc this notice IS another promising q further raise in the near
 future. By combination these irou in-
 terests have been able to effect econ
 omies which permit them to pay bet
 ter wages than the separate and com petiug companies could have done The
 Federal Steel company, which is an
 other trust, Wa5 tlae first, it will ho re-
 menbered, tc start the wage raising
 wave several months ago which has since swept over the country This Is not said in justification of trusts or of the trust principle, but only to show
 that thus far events have failed to jus tify the claims of the arrant dema- gogUes that trusts were formed to raise prices and reduce wagls. They simply don't know any more than the rest of Us know about trusts and their workings before time and experience have shown what is to happen through the eco- ncmic changes wrought by them
 But" says the trust prophet lone swallow doesn't make a sumner Wait till the hub-bub i5 all over and the trusts settle down to business, then sec them apply the screws to the work ingmen and raise the prices to con- sUne-s." Not so easily done as sail. The pecple are still stronger th;;n the trusts and will remain so. Even Q mighty kingdom could not raise tl.a price of tea when the American colo- nist5 said TO. The people stopped buying tea and then set to w0-s to break an empire in two. The trusts that try to apply the screws to their and the public will have to reckon net alone with the workmen but with the millions Of merchants, ! professiona. men and others i who have an interest in maintaining 1 right wages and fair prices. Then 1 there will be some trust smashing- The ! trusts know all this, and knowing it !! will they invite their own ruin? Ne may safely credit them with some l commcn serse

EXTENSIVE NEWS.

Few readers of this paper who have scanned it's columns G1iy for the latest
 news from Manila as they did for tid-
 ings from Santiago appreciate the lux
 lry they enjoy in being kept informed
 daily of what cur soldiers are doing on
 the other si2e of the glc5e. Il will
 interest and surprise many 60 learn
 that the expense Of teleg~aphing WAT
 news from Manila i 5 at the rate Of 8.
 2 word. The cable route from Manila
 td New York is as follows: Manila to
 Hong Kong, and thence to Saigon, in
 Anam, Singapore, the Straits Settle
 ments, and Penang. on the Malay Ie- ninsula, to Madras. India; from Madras
 by land lines to Bombay; thence by eastern telegraph cable to Alden, Arabia, Pert Said and Alexandria. Egypt; Malta, Gibraltar. L:sbon and Plymouth, Eng; from Plymouth by commercial cable to Waeervilla. ire land. and Canso, N. g., to New York. It will be readily seen that dispatch of many words at the Gfcove rate Is 2 very costly affair. in some cases ex- tending to thousands of dollars. If the expense had to he borne by any. one journal it would be well nigh prohibit i've, or at least the dispatches would have to be cut down to the meager pro- portions cf those sent by army and navy officers to Washington giving bare facts without their interesting de- tails. The system of news collection by the Associated Press makes possible the fullest accounts, though even the s4arirg of the expense by many pa2 pcrs costs them Q pretty penny. It is one cf the best illustrations of the progress of modern jour- nalism that this one item of expense. whieh is but 3 single example Of many ike it incurred daily, affords to the world.

THE soUTH,s HARD TIMES

Judge Robert Powell made a speech in Vicksburg last week. in the course Of which he discussed The Poverty oF the South, and explained il in 3 war which, though not altogether original is both true and always effective. He said:
 The reason Of cur poverty is nns hard to find. Take cur average citi- zen. He gets up in the morning and pulls on q pair of socks from Lynn Mass: puts on a pair of shoes from Boston: Q suit of clothes from Phiia- delpnia: goes to his breakfast, draw@ lip 3 chair made in Chicago, and eats from a table which came from Eincin- nati; sweetens his coffee fron- Rio with sugar from Louisiana, takes slice Of ham cured in St Louis, and b1tters biscuit of Minnesota fou~ with Ole0margarine which came from the LCrd knows where; he eats South Carolina or Louisiana rice. and ever the very gTits upon his table were ground in some northern mill; he goes to his stable and puts a set of harness from St Louis on mule from Ken lucky; bitches it to a wagon from ILL nois. and drives over to his neigubUrs and complains of hard times. Of course times are hard when everything people eat, drink, wear, and drive came from somewhere else: and only the 2t- mGsphera which he breathes is a home institution

Mir. Gaine5 immediately made the request. Sec retary Long promised him that Nash Fille should have the biggest gun that could be obtained as soon as DTactic- able.

For years she has lain dormant wait
ing. waiting. The turn has been
called, "the clock has struck" the
change has come.
The extension OF the Northern Pa
cities Spokane Palouse branch to
Lewiston. and the further extensions,
the present season, from Lewiston
up Lapwai Creek and up the Clear
water River into the heart Of the old
Nez- Perce reservation are working
wonders. And along with this era
o: railway expansion, comes the
wonderful discovery Of gold in the
Buffalo Hump country. Here, where
forty years ago the placer mines
yielded 500, 900, 900, so the author
tiles tell us, now are discovered the
most stuperdous quartz lodges ever
known between Florence and Elk City
Grangeville and the Salmon River,
the probabilities are that Klondike
will be outdone.
Then too, the farmer and ranch
man has his chaLce. Between Lew
iston and the Hump lies fruit and
grain region famous around Idaho.
The Cold Springs and Camas Prairie
lands can't be beat As a fruit and
grain country this region beats Cali
fornia, and now that new mining
c'mps furnish good and nearby mar
kets and transportation facilities arc
so much improved, the farmer will
find these acres to be rs rich mines
of gold 70 him as the quartz lodges
are to the miner. So every body has
chance here, to make good turn.
