AZ u matter Of fact Mckinley II far

They recently tied up the pay Of the

As the evidence comes out in the trial
of Powers at Georgetown, KY, for impli-
cation in the murder of Governor Goebel
the position of the governors of Indiana
and New York in refusing to honor a
requisition for the extradition of Fraud
ulent Governor Taylor, accused of COM
plicity in the same crime, becomes more
indefensible. They have placed them
selves in the attitude of shielding from
the law man accused of being accessory
to one of the foulest crimes in the politi-
cal history of the nation. There is moth
ing in the proceedings against Powers to
justify the fimsy excuse of Governors
Mount and Roosevelt that Taylor would
not be given fair trial. If Taylor had
been accused of horse stealing, Mount or
Roosevelt would have fastened to turn
him over to the Kentucky authorities.
But as his only offense was completely in
the plot to assassinate democratic gov
ernor, Mount and Roosevelt feel justified
in protecting their fellow republican
from the vengeance of the law they have
sworn to enforce.

The Boxers hold the Christians in

sounds funny to sensible people but
when the claim is made that Mckinley

in Chicago the republicans accept the
assertion with the same faith that the
Boxers accept the charge against the
native Christians. With drouth in
Minnesota, Dakota and Western Mon
tana and good crops in Flathead county
and Kansas, Mckinley carries weight
and variety of responsibility that would
stagger any ordinary individual or one
less skilled in the political bunco game.

effusion and not campaign document
from the republican national committee.

It seems that the Texas antitrust law
from which such good results were ex
pected is likely to prove impotent from
the fact that the trusts doing business
in that state have no hesitation in max
ing oath that they are not trust or any
part of trust. The attorney general
says that if complaint is made of these
trusts after they have sworn to the affi-
davit they will be prosecuted for perjury.
It is not expected, however, that the
question will be raised, and the indica-
tions are that the great trusts of the
country will continue to do business in
Texas notwithstanding the radical legis-
lation adopted in that state against
them. As most, if not all, trusts owe
their existence to the republican tariff
law, which shields them from foreign
competition, it would seem that the most
effective means for their destruction
would be withdrawal of the tariff from
all goods which have been trusted"
The essential evil of trusts is the fact
that the government stands between
them and the foreign competitor, who is
willing to sell to the consumer at a legiti-
mate commercial margin of profit. Have
meyer, the sugar king, struck the kernel
of the trust nut when he declared pro-
tective tariff to be 1.-The mother of trusts"
