THE MEREsT CAN'T.
Fresh Evidence That the Hepuk-
llcnnA Are Not AZ Outs
with the Trusts.

There are many reasons why tho
people distrust the ANTITRUST dec
laratlon In the republican platform.
II will be recalled thnt President Nc
kinley's attorney general seemed in
haste 10 declare the Sherman anti
trust law defective and useless; That
the attorney general in the presl-
dents own state was refused n re-
nomination after he had shown dis
position to enforce the law against
trusts; that the presidents neglect
of what he had snid was his "plain
duty" In Porto Rico was charged TO
the influence of certain trusts; that
Chairman Hanna made positive de-
fensc OF the principle underlying the
existence Of the trusts. etc.
There Is now an added reason why
the sincerity OF the leading republic
ans who promise antitrust leglsla-
tion should he questioned, Chairman
Hanna's chief nssistunt-.his first
lieutenant, his right-hand man and
his substitute at the Chicago or west
ern headquarters OF the republican
national commlttee-,is Henry G.
Payne. This Mr.. Payne was for
Imny years the chairman OF the re-
publican state committee OF Wiscon-
sin, and later political agent for
the Chicago, Milwaukee g. 81. Paul
rAilroad, He was mentioned for a
place In the cabinet Of President Nc
Kiulcy as reward for his services as
Chairman Hnnna's assistant in 1896.
For some time he has been the vlr-
tual head Of the syndicate which
owns the electric railways and light
plant of Milwaukee. II is announced
that he has become the head OF the
electric trust. which will monopolize
the electricity interests OF the
Badger state-the Wisconsin Trac-
ton, Light, Boat and Power COM
pany.
There has been no suggestion that
Mr.. Payne's interests in this trust
will cause his retirement from the
committee; no indication that Chair
man Hanna will decline to associate
intimately with the head of u monop-
oily. Also, there Is no desire on the
part of Mr.. Payne TO suspend his
labors for republican success. Evil
IDENTIFY ho does not think that re-
publican victory would be menace
to the trust with which he is so prom
inently identified. No sane man
would wear himself out in an effort
TO elect men who intended to smash,
or in any degree injure, his business.
There is no doubt about the sanity
of Mr.. Payne.-Philadelphin Record.

Drynn's Fairness.

Mr.. Bryan's campaign utterances
have so far been distinguished by
strength, moderation and thoughtful
ness. He is devoid Of bitterness, and
while keen to expose the weak points
of his opponents he is careful to do so
simply as thinker and debater,

has characterized the speeches Of one

WOULD not extend beyond territory

that Japan and Russia may come to
blows at almost any minute. Reports
have emanated from Russia to the
effect that good understanding has
been reached with the Japanese, but
these reports must be received with
some skepticism. For several years
the Japanese have regarded a war
with Russia as inevitable, and prefer
to have it before the Trans, Siberian
Railway is finished and while Japan's
na7al strength is decidedly superior
to that Of Russia ia the Pacific. The
Japanese consider themselves rightly
entitled to Port Arthur and they
aspire to dominate Korea. Their in
Huence is now very great at Pekin.
They have known how to play upon
the reactionary and anti-European
sentiments of the Dowager Empress
of China, and it is supposed that they
are largely responsible for that lady's
recent policy. 1t is expected that
japanese officers will reorganize the
Chinese army on a modern footing,
and that firm alliance will be fixed
between these two kindred empires
That. it will be the policy Of this
alliance to cultivate the friendship of
England and the United State, while
opposing the Asatic entertainments
of Russia, can readily be believed.
In short, a movement by Japan
against Russia at this time, when IL e
Muscovites want quiet in that quar-
ter in order to make bold gains
elsewhere, would be thought to point
to a close understanding
between England and Japan, if not
an actual alliance.-From The Pro,

Several years ago, John Harms and

them from their home a large dog,
of no special breed, but as Mr.. Harms

les Of dogs affection for children were
not exaggerated in Jimsits case. His
only object of earthly worship was
that baby. After few months resi-
dence on Bonanza Greek the baby died
and Jim was inconsolable. He would
not permit caresseS or attentions even
from his master, but kept watch over
the little mound on the hill for many
days and nights. One day he came

PETER ARNOLDUs CRONJE.

The civilized world has watched
with admiration the heroic stand
made by Gen. Cronje with his few
thousand men at Paardeberg. 1t is
pronounced rare spectacle in mill
tary history. Such Spartan heroism
has seldom been equaled. Cronje is
a Boer clear through. He has all
the stern religion of his race, all its
purposefulness and its sublime faith
in God, as we'll as its Interchangeable
hatred for everything British. He is
a descendant of the Colonial Dutch
who trekked before the British inva-

last war for independence, and it was
he who commanded the small force
of burghers which brought Jameson

TIE failure Of Congressman Eddy
to reflect the opinion Of his district on
the Porto Rican tariff bill and his
persistence in his course after his
constituents had made their wishes
known, have led many leading Re
pnblcans to believe that it would be
unvi5e to renominate our present
congressman. The person likely to
prove the most formidable candidate
against him is Hon. ETA q. Valen-
tine, of Breckenridge. Mr.. Valentine
is a lawyer-farmer, man who has
always been in hearty sympathy with
the laboring classes. For years he
has been laboring with the great
question OF drainage in the Red River
Valley, being largely entitled to the
honor of establishing the State Drain
age Board and of procuring the ap-
preparations for the building of the
great drainage bitches. He has de-
voted himself to this work for the
past fourteen years, without asking
for or receiving any compensation
whatever for his services. A man
with such an ideal of public service
would certainly make an enviable
reputation for himself and for the
Seventh district if he were sent to
Congress. If nominated, his wide
acquaintance, upright character and
pop'!!H,ity viii assure his election.

THOSE who think that the Is pei
cent tariff proposed to be levied on
the products of Porto Rico will not
be heavy tax should read the state
ment which the planters and mer-
chants Of Porto Rico have sent out.
They say that the ad valorem duties
will still be from Is to 100 per cent
and that it would lock up their pro-
ducts there and prevent them from
gaining or maintaining a legitimate
proportion of profit on their produc-
tons. The system which is proposed
would place al embargo on the
foreign commerce Of Porto Rico and
keep the island in the impoverished
condition which it has been in for the
past year. Whatever revenues Porto
Rico needs should be raised by sys
tenn of internal revenue which would
fall heaviest on the mercantile classes
and if this is insufficient then let the
United States appropriate enough to
repair in part the damage wrought by
the elements last year, as we have
before done for other parts of the
