The smelter trust Is a combine of which
little Is heard In the East. but which Is
the theme of constant denunciation In the
Rocky mountain states. The denunc1a-
tion Is justifable. for the trust In. quey-
ton Is an oppressive monopoly. 1t has
so complete control of the smelling
business that most OF the mine owners
are at its mercy. II Is useless to at
tempt to develop a mine unless an ar
rangement can be made with the trust
and the price II exacts Ii so high as to
interfere seriously with the extension OF
the mining industry. AS Is almost In
variably the case, the excessive profits
of monopoly are stimulating competition
The people having decided that the gov
eminent Is not to be intrusted to Bryan
ties, and that there Will be no legisla-
tive Interference with existing prosperity,
steps are being taken for the immediate
construction Of three large smeiter plants,
which will cost about 81 100000 apiece.
They will be superior. probably. 10 any
OF those owned by the trust and the
company which Is TO operate them will
be able TO work more cheapIy than the
trust can. When these new plants geG
to work a most offensive monopoiy will
be deprived OF power II has abuse5. Had
II been satisfied with reasonable profits
il would not have excited popular IN
will nor would Il have attracted the at
tention OF capitalists. 1t has followed,
instead course which IS conjuring up
effective competition.

Cable to Tatoosh.

The san Francisco Chronicle has a good
word for the Tatoosh cable, and hopes
there will be no opposition to an appro-
priation by congress for the construction
OF this necessary public work II points
out that many OF the storms which trouble
the Coast during the winter Months arise
In the Pacific to the northwest. and that
1t is essential 20 the safety OF shipping
that the weather bureau should be able to
post warnings at the earliest possible mo-
men,. so that mariners may act accord
ingiy.
There Is no question about the neces-
ssty for THIS cable. and there is every rea-
son 30 believe that the appropriation for
q Nsil be made promptly when II is made
clear that Il is a matter Of great mari
time concern. The commerce OF the North
west coast has Increased enormously dur
ing the past Few years. and it's safety IS
something the government should no,
hesitate 10 look after The Oriental and

The recent Illness OF Naval Constructor
Hobson has revived the question of ex-
tending some congressional recognition to
him for his attempt to blockade the har-
Dor of Santiago. The act was one OF dis
tinguished galiantry, although the policy
of the attempt to bottle up the harbor
may be seriously questioned. and all ma
val experts now freely admit that 1t was
fortunate thing that Hobson failed to
prevent the exit of Cervera's feet. This
last consideration does not initiate
against the fact that Hobson and his crew
took their lives in their hands and en-
barked upon an expedition from which 1t
was doubtful In the extreme IL any one
would return alive; and that for this ex-
ceptional gallantry Mr.. Hobson has re-
ceived no professional reward, by promo
ton or otherwise.
The proposition is before congress to
provide some other method of rewarding
naval Officers rather than by the existing
system Of advancement, which operates
to degrade In rank other naval Officers,
presumably as gallant but who have either
lacked opportunity to distinguish them
selves or whose distinguished services
have been overlooked by congress. One
proposal advocated is to give medals Of
honor and increased pay for distinguished
service. but without any advancement in
rank. This Is the manner In which 1t is
proposed to reward the Santiago captains
II this is done. there is one exception
which should be made to the rule. The
case of Capt Clark, of the Oregon, should
be disposed of separately. BY the promo
ton Of Dewey's captains. Clark was pass
ed over. and he camA out OF the war ac-
tualIy several numbers lower on the list
than he was when the war broke out. He
was punished by the promotion of his jri-
niors, as much as he would have been by
the verdict of court-martial for serious
dereliction in duty. Yet his services were
exceptionally great The manner In which
he brought the Oregon around the Horn
and to the aid Of SIMPSONS fleet, in per-
feet condition to take her place in the
line Of battle, was in ITSELF a wonderful
feat. The conduct Of the Oregon and her
commander in the actual battle was at
the least as conspicuous as that Of any
other In the fleet.
Whatever is done In the direction OF
recognition Of the services OF the santi-
ago captains. substantial and complete
justice will be denied a gallant officer II
Capt. Clark. Is not restored to the place
which he occupied in the line before the
battle of Manila bay.

Puerto Rico furnishes full vfndication OF
the policy which prompted its passage.

Heretofore the United States navy has
sought its recruits in the large cities, but
1t is now proposed to get men from the
farms. 1t is expected that this will give
farmers lads an opportunity to abandon
agricultural life IL it Is distasteful to
them, and at the same time the naval
service will be getting the very best ma
terial for recruits

that failure of railroads to fence right

there is no section directing that all rail-
roads shall erect fences. When putting
track through farm or other private
property. the railroad company Is re-
quired by law to arrange gates at the
