the china shops show some charming

cups and the pepper and salt sets from

These china dishes, dainty ar they are,
might be called cooking utensils, and

Perhaps the most interesting item OF
all in recent industrial developments IS
the dissolution of the National Wall-Pa-
per company and the Michigan and Ohio
Plaster company. Both of these con
Germs were consultations of numerous
formerly competing companies, and both
found themselves unable to keep up
with the rapid growth of outside compe-
tition. The wall paper trust" has been
in existence nearly eight years with a
capital about S35,0OO,0O0. These disso-
lutions will probably be followed by
others as time goes on. The workings
ofeconomic law will determine what kinds
of industry can be made to yield greater
economy by combination than under
separate individual management and
competition. The combination move
ment for the past two or three years has
been practically craze" based on the
notion that here was new universal
'Klondike" sort of opportunity for all
kinds of industry. For a while the boom
has carried most of them along. Now,

conditions, wearing off of the glamour
and keen probing of the situation, are
revealing openings and chinks for the
wedge of competition on all sides, and

RIGHT ID THE fUINL.
well-Founded Protest Against the Administration Policy of
 ImperiaIism.

Congressman Bailey, of Texas, had good warrant for his protest to the ef- feet that, while the minority of the rules committee of the house agreed with the majority as to the propriety of the creation of a congressional corl- miitee on insular affairs to have juris- dietion over all matters texcepting those affecting the revenues and the appropriations) pertaining to the is lands which came to the United States through the treaty of 1899 with Spain, and to Cuba. it did dissent from the iGea that the committee should be created for the purpose of permanent ly dealing" with the islands.
 IL will be we'll for congress to remem- Der that the United States government is not yet definitely committed to the permanent holding of the Philippines or to the annexation of Cuba. It is true that the administration policy as au- thoritatively outlined by President Me kinley declares that we cannot abandon the Philippines, and hints at the pos sible necessity for annexing Cuba, but not until a majority in congress shall have voted to sustain the presidents policy will it go into effect as dictating and controlling government action. The debate and the vote on this vital question are still to come, pending which provisional action alone may be taken with propriety.
 The democratic minority in congress stands opposed to the administration policy of imperialism. and its plain duty is to combat that policy with an unceas- ing loyalty to the sound American prin- ciples that forbid its acceptance by an

GOLD BRICK HANNA.
The Ohto Sure Thing Boss Runs Up Against a Film Flam
 Game.

It does not violently wrench ones conception of the peculiarly Philadel- phian standards of moral probity to find that the good and great Senator Hanna has been made the victim of a confidence game. A community that not merely stomachs but idolizes Quay, that has water steals, municipal build- ing steals, and other big and little steals too numerous to mention, is not likely to balk at a little matter like q bogus check.
 The surprise, if there is any. comes from the unmist akable evidence that the usually astute senator from Ohio was caught mapping. For once the memories of Wanamakers princely contributions to the republican rain making fund were allowed to becloud his business sagacity. The great prestidigitateur was lulied to a sense of false security by an ordinary bit of handwriting. Surely. we may imagine Hanna as reasoning, the city of broth erly love at least can be trusted. If the center of republican sanctity and the domicile of holy John himself is not worthy of our faith then whom in this vale of tears may we trust?
 But this Is just where Mir. Hanna like the agriculturist who buys a gold brick and carefully carries it home. trusted once too often. He took the word of the smooth Quakers that their check was genuine and that the funds were behind it. The republican campaign committee needed cash-SlO0,o00 of it and the republican national conven- tion was sold to the oleaginous gentle men from Philadelphia for piece of

American government. The issue must be fought out before the American peo- ple-it must not be taken for granted that it is already settled because the president has urged imperialism i'll his message to congress. Powerful as is the administration influence, the time has not yet come for permanent deal ing" with the Philippines as an Ameri- can colonial possession.
 Congressman Bailey's point, there fore, was well taken, and indicates the line to be followed by-tEe democratic minority in all legislation affecting the Philippines and Cuba. The radical de- parture from American principles in volved by adoption of the policy of i'm perialism must not be conceded as in effect until so declared by vote of congress. The issue is too serious 10 be settled by an incidental acceptance of the duties and responsibilities that will accompany imperialism as an accom- plished fact.-St. Louis Republic.
