1t is for every Republican to decide for him

principles and the Presidents application of them,
he is under obligation also to endorse machine
rule in Pennsylvania. 1t is for every Republican
to decide for himself whether or not he is capable
OF voting against the machine in 1899 and for the
Republican national ticket in 1900. II is for
every Republican TO determine whether he is the

Captain Carter, to whose case in its latest
development we refer elsewhere, is entitled to
all the help he get from his counsel but it
is a fair question to ask how it happens that he
is able to secure the services OF so many dis
tinguished lawyers. Captain Carter was not a
man of large financial resources prior to his con
nectien with the extensive transactions with
Government contractors, by which the Govern

Food for MaIcontents.

(from the Kansas City Starr
The American spirit OF cruelty to which knock
ers of the Atkinson type delight to call atten-
tion has again been displayed in the statement,
in uncensored despatch, that hundreds of peo-
pie come into Manila every day and return to the
rebel lines with food and other commodities.
1t is known that large proportion of these pro-
visions go to aid the insurgents. but the traffic
is permitted by the authorities from motives of
charity toward women and children who would
otherwise suffer for food. This bit of news from
a source which is not friendly to the Admins
tration should invite a fresh outburst from those
Americans, so-ealled, who appear to think they
are living under the most unjust and rapacious

great White Gar. He is the new czaro-

Michael would succeed to the throne, un-

have been none of the happiest. They
came to the throne in Moscow in 1913,

ton by Demetrius the Imposter. On the
fall OF Demetrius. whose remains were

cannon pointed toward Poland, Michael

FIGHT THE PAPER TRUST.
Not Able to Control Business of the
West.

Chicago. April 22.-According to the
statement of western paper dealer the
paper trust is meeting with. consider
able opposition in the west, and will not
be able to control all the paper used by
the newspapers in this country. A pa
per company of Chicago, which resist
ed the overtures of the trust, controls
the output of four large mills in Wis
consfn, with a capacity of IFS tons of
print paper a day and also that of two
eastern mills which will be able in a
short time to turn out 125 tons day. A
new mill. equipped with the latest and
most approved machinery, is erecting.
The trust controls mills that produce
1900 tons a day. With an opposition
which can put on the market 500 tons q
day, the dealer said. the trust will not
be able to have things it's own way,
and the newspapers of the country will
not be at its mercy.
The western dealers who handle the
trust product are said TO be not alto
gether satisfied with the trusts meth
DDS of doing business. and there has
been some talk of these dealers form
ing a combination of their own and
erecting a print paper mill on a scale
large enough to furnish paper enough
for their newspaper customers.

against Queen Lavinia had been pre-

said charges were untrue. The charges
in question are to the effect that Queen
