As the trusts are in control of the fed
oral administration, nothing can be done
to minimize the trust evil so long as this
administration is left in power. That
fact is as plain as daylight. The Dlngley
tariff ia the foundation of hundreds OF
industrial combines. Without it the
trust organizations could not have been
perfected as they have been all over the
country. Two things were necessary for
the organization of trusts on great scale
"a protective tariff which would exclude
competition from abroad and an admin
;stration which would favor them and
not interfere with their organization and
operation. Both needs were supplied.

The threat of Major Rathbone, OF
Havana, to make trouble for the republ!-
can party if he should be unduly pressed
seems to have been effective. Nicely will
not he extradited until long after the
November elections and Rathbone may
fare sumptuously every day without fear
OF official interference with his plans and
pleasures. 1t is this sort OF thing, rather
than the clatter of partisan redomontade,
that is sopping the confidence Of the
American people in the republican adj.
ministration. There is too much whole
sale stealing and too much protection
for the thieves when found out.

in life except enough food to satisfy his

"BEwARE OF GREEKS BEARING
GIFTS"

II bodies no good to the democratic
party when the Vidette throws such
bououets as the following at the people
who are determined to use that party as
a personal perquisite, Or ruin it in the
coming campaign. We reproduce the
article for three purposes. First, to con-
graduate the Vidette upon the new addi-
ton to it's editorial staff, which it sorely
needed. Second, to give it the publicity
denied it by the limited circulation OF
our esteemed contemporary, and, Third,
to show how absolutely absurd its state
ments are to those at all cognizant OF the
present condition Of affairs in the demo-
cratic party. Here is the rose, thrown
at Abel and Little, with the thorn flung
at the devoted head of the editor of this
paper:
"Brother Carney is still irritated over
his defeat at Elma-he sees defeat for the
fusion forces this fall if what he styles
the 'Abel-Little push controls the fusion
nominating conventions. The trouble
with Brother Carney is that he considers
himself entitled to boss everything. He
wants to name the fusion county ticket
SO that if it should chance to be elected
"a very remote chance it is true) he can
get the county patronage. Hence he
views with alarm his decline of power.
The time was when what Brother Car.
ney said was taken as authority in the
ranks of democracy-that was when
democracy meant defeat. There is now
new blood in the forces opposed to the
republican party. The 'Abel-Little push,
as Carney names it, can do more than
Carney ever heard Of in organization and
successful politics. 1t was this work that
in 1896 overcame the republican ticket.
In 1898 it elected fusionists to most Of
the best county offices. II the same men
control the fusion conventions next week
the fusion ticket will stand better
chance OF success than If Carney controls
it. From republican standpoint we
hope Carney will control. 1t will mean
incompetent management of the fusion
campaign-a scattering, random plan of
attacking the republicans. 1t will also
mean widespread disaffection on the
part of fusionists against the one-man
power Carney desires to WELD"
The first is hattering to the writer, as
a confession by the Vidette-after years
OF trial-that in it's own party none can
be found to successfully cross pens with
the editor of the HERALD. Tie s,cond
places the Vidette under obligations to

It is to avoid meeting the paramount

1t is to avoid meeting the paramount
issue, which goes to the very existence
of free institutions, that the republican
leaders are now acknowledgment at
the cost of confessing themselves either
fools or knaves-to rehabilitate the old
free silver scarecrow which they found so
effective in the closing days Of the 1896
campaign. There are some tricks, how
ever, which can be successfully played
but once. And this is one of them.

us for the free publicity obtained. Al
to the last reason for republishing this
flowery gem, it is too patent to the demo
Gratis of Chehalis county for serious con
sideration.
The trouble is not so much that "Bro
Carney" wants to boss anybody, as that
he positively declines to be bossed, and
refuses to take orders from any authority
but the democratic party, fairly ex-
pressed. Nothing is further from his
mind than any desire to "name the
fusion ticket" In support of this state
ment he offers to donate $50 to the fusion
campaign fund if the new editorial writer
on the Vidette will produce man in
Chehalis county whom "Bro. Carney"
has endeavorcd to influence on behalf Of
any candidate for nomination on the
county ticket. Will Mr.. Abel make a
similar offer? Hardly. If he did the
campaign could be run without an assess
ment on the candidates. He, Abel, not
only wishes to name the ticket, but APP
pears inclined to threaten those who fail
to acknowledge his right to do the
naming.
1t comes to us, upon reliable authority,
from Hoquiam, that on Sunday last Mr..
Abel tried to induce candidate to drop
out in favor of Abel's man, and, when
refused. went so far as to inform the
gentleman that he, Abel, would control
the nominating convention anyhow, and
that he would so arrange the order OF
business that the office in question would
be the last to be filled, and that mean
while he would throw SO many other
offices into Hoquiam that this particular
place would be out of the question for a
Hoouiam man. 1t is but fair to Mr..
Abel to state that he offered this party
another place on the ticket, out of the
plentiful supply in his pocket.
So far as such services as the writer
has been able to give the party in this
county emitting him to consideration,
he leaves to the rank and file of that
party, who like himself, have been fight
ing the Vidette and the corrupt methods
of it's party for years, satisfied that same
rank and file will now be found arrayed
with the HERALD, battling against the
introduction OF those methods into the
democratic party, whether that intro
duction be sought by erstwhile reform
ers ~ or by special editorial writer's in
the organ OF the Ancient Order of Che
halls County Looters.
The HERALD has ever given Mr.. Little
credit for his services in overthrowing
the republican party in 1896, in which
he had the united aid OF more than 1900
voters, and in which praiseworthy effort
every one of them is entitled to their
need of credit. But the new member OF
the Vidette staff draws the long bow
when he claims that any praise is due to
the malaprop whose dictatorial interior
ence in 1898 cost the fusion party the
legislative ticket and three county Offices.
An interference that has already this
year filled two harmonious parties with
dissensions, so deep as to fill our repub-
lican friends with joy, and occasions the
Vidette to pat the disturbers on the
back.
