DOWN WITH THE TRUST.
The Duty on Wood Pulp Should be
Repealed.

The Pennsylvania and Colorado Edi-
torial Association have adopted resolu-
tions denouncing the paper trust, and
asking Congress to repeal the duty on
wood pulp.
We are glad there is newspaper
trust, because it brings the matter
home to all the papers, and they will
now raise their voices against the great
evil that threatens everybody's inter-
ests. So long as they did not feel it
themselves, many papers were indiffer-
ent, or were afraid to fight the trusts.
Now, that they find the shoe pinching
them, they will all cry out, and they
can exert a great influence on the right
side.
The thing to do is for the National
Association to point out the great evil
of trusts; to demand repeal of the
duty on wood pulp and to send COM
mittee to Congress to see that their

shoddy, be so labelled.
3. We urge the calling of meeting

A BRITISH DISASTER!
Warren's Forces Driven From
Spion KOp.
BULLER FALLS BACK ACROSS
THE TUGELA.
The British Press Demand That 100.
900 rlOre Troops Be Sent To
the Front.

The British under Butler have met
with another repulse, and have fallen
back to the south bank of the Tugela
river, and are no nearer relieving
Ladysmith than they were month ago.
The Beers are intrenched along
series of hills, ridges, and mountains,
the northern face of which is more ac-
cessible than the south side, not being
so precipitous. Butler has found this
out by feeling their position and has
fallen back to the south side of the I'u-
gela. Tuesday, Gen. Warren, who
commanded the left flank of Buffers
army, attacked and carried Spion
KOp, mountain in his front, occupied
by the Beers. This ''Spion Kop"
mountain is much like Lookout Noun
tain. accoruing to descriptions; not
quite so high, hut more or less precip-
itous on its sides, and more or less fat
on top.
Wednesday, they held their position
all day, against repeated attacks by
the Beers, and sustained heavy losses.
Wednesday night they abandoned the
mountain, leaving the Beers in posses
sion. The Beers report that the En-
glish lost 1900 in killed. But this is
evidently mistake. The British killed
probably amounted to $50. The next
morning, Gen. Butler arrived and de-
cided to withdraw his left to the south
bank of the Tugela, and did so by Sat.
urday morning, without the loss of a
man or pound of stores, the Beers
making no further attack. Gen. Butler
evidently found that he could not carry
the Boer position by direct assault, and
he has withdrawn Warren's force til
he tries some other venture, or joins
his forces to those of Lord Roberts il
some other movement.
The silence of the British war depart
ment as to other news, need not be evi
dence of disaster, but may be simpl,
a precaution as to divulging news o
any important movement. The Londol
Standard may hint at movement from
Delagoa Bay, upon Pretoria, in the fol
lowing. 1t says:
''If the relief of Ladysmith is not t.
be left to fate, it must be all rebegun
The center and right have tried. Bot
, have been unsuccessful. Can anythin,
be done on the left, or along toward
Weenen, or when General Roberts an,
1 Kitchener have organized sufficien
, forces AND TRANSPORTS, will the mai
: scene of operations be shifted to yer
different quarter, with far more favor
able results ?''
This would be a movement tina
would quickly raise the siege of Kiml
erly and Ladysmith, by drawing tn
. Boer forces to defend their own coul
try, and let the British take their ow
), time in ending the war.
When the British besiege the Boz
at Pretoria, they can hold the Boz
l. forces there till they are ready to su
L render as Grant held Lee at Peter
!, burg.
u So far, the British have shown !
. strategy whatever, but have commi
ted one blunder after another.

THE great department stores OF the
cities are asking Congress to help their
great trust by enacting law to enable
them to send goods through the mails
to all parts of the country at very low
postage rate. This means that the
Government shall carry their goods at
rate that will not pay expenses, and
the people will have to make up the
difference in paying deficiencies.

HANDS OFF.
The Legislature Should Not Bow to
Boss Cox

Boss Cox, of Cincinnati, after ruling
the city for years, and after debating
to Senators Foraker and Hanna, was
knocked out by the people last fall.
Defeat is ahead for him in the Spring,
and he sees the handwriting on the
wall. To avert disaster, to prevent his
final overthrow, he has appealed to the
Legislature. He has had prepared a
''ripper bill" to reorganize the city
government of Cincinnati, throw out
of place all the present employees, and
appoint Boar1 of Affairs that would
put his friends in power.
He appealed to the members of the
Legislature in person, but found them
unfinchingly opposed to his bill. Then
he hurried off to Washington and ap-
pealed to Foraker and Hanna for their
influence in his behalf. Now he comes
back to the Legislature with quasi
endorsement from these two Senators,
and seeks to apply the power of patron
age and the machine to secure the pas
sage of his ''ripper" by the Legisla-
ture.
Senator Foraker says:
81 think almost anything is better for
the city of Cincinnati than what it has
now. 1t is quite as appropriate, and
more so, to undo now the wrong of two
years ago as it was to commit the
wrong at that time"
Senator Hanna says:
"As Cincinnati certainly is Repub-
lican city, l would be in favor of any
| Just measure which would place the
control of it's affairs in the hands of the
| Republican party. | can not discuss
the merits of the reorganization bill
now pending in the Legislature, how
ever, for L have not seen it, and, there
fore, am not familiar with it's details. y
The question now is, will the repre-
sentatives of the people in the Legisla
ture, bow to Boss Cox, or will the,
help bury him out of sight?
The fact that the two U. S. Senator
are compelled to bow to this city boss
only accentuates the duty of the repre-
sentatives of the people to spurn an.
measure to help him.
Senator Foraker thinks two wrong
would make one right; that because
wrong was committed two years ago b.
the Legislature in passing ripper, i
should pass another now. This is poo
politics, and worse morals.
Senator Hanna says Cincinnati is
Republican city, and ought to have
Republican government. This is al
true, and it would have Republica
government today, if Boss Cox ha
been struck dead when he joined MI
Hanna in bossing the last Republica
State Convention.
The way to make Cincinnati Reput
lican is to repudiate the party boss
, and the way to make Ohio Democrat
] is to let Cox boss the Ohio Legislature

PENNSYLVANIA ON TRUSTS.

The Pennsylvania Editorial Associa
tiOn, in session at Harrisburg last
week, passed the following resolution:
THAT if Trusts are honestly organ
lied to reduce expenses, and conse-
quently the cost of products, they
should depend on their own business
capacity. not upon protection given to
them by the Government: and that
Congress ought to repeal such tariff
duties as seem to protect the Trusts in
their extortionate charges"

Legislature is asked to put him again
in power. The Legislature dares not
do it.

What We Eat

Is intended to nourish and sustain us, but it
must be digeSted and assimilated before it
can do this. In other words. the nourishment
contained in food must be separated by the
digestive organs from the waste materials
and must be carried by the blood to all parts
of the body. We believe the reason for the
great benefit which many people derive
from Hoods Sarsaparilla lies in the fact that
this medicine gives good digestion and makes
pure, rich blood. 1t restores the functions of
those organs which convert food into nourish-
ment that gives strength to nerves and mus
cles. 1t also cures dyspepsia. scrofula, salt
rheum. boils, sores, pimples and eruptions
catarrh, rheumatism and all diseases that
have their origin in impure blood.
The Goebelities in Kentucky are getting
ready to steal the Governorship. and unless
Governor Taylor is willing to defend his title
to the seat by force he is likely to be ousted.
Is it ''overwork' that has filled this coun-
try with nervous dyspeptics?-that takes the
flesh off their bones, the vitality from their
blood, and makes them feeble emaciated and
inefficient? No. 1t is bad cooking, overeat-

CHARGE OF ROTTEN POLITICS DE-
MED.

The innuendoes and whisperings that
Judge Powers friends have offered to
pay car fares and dinners of friendly
delegates the Messenger very properly
characterizes as 'E!niserable politics."
Indeed, this Characterization is not
one half strong enough. No man who
is half bright ought to believe for one
moment that Judge Powers would
allow such suicidal policy to be pur-
sued. To assume that the Judge would
bring would be Senator Clark's Mon
tana methods of bribery into the Green
Mountain state, is to credit him with
a lack of common sense and common
honor, and Vermont is not ready to
believe this of Congressman Powers.
Even were he wicked enough to do
it. which is not for one moment to be
believed, he would not; for if the
charge was substantiated it would be
a death blow to his aspirations for
congress, in a state like Vermont,
where clean political methods prevail.
