NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE impression
of the way things are done in the United
States made upon the immigrant who ar
rives here today viii be a more favorable
one than that made upon his brother who
arrived here a week ago. He viii enter
this country by the gateway of the new
immigrant station on Ellis Island instead
OF the grfmy. gloomy Barge Omce-more
suggestive of IN enclosure for animals
than a receiving station for prospective
citizens of the United States.
The new building on Ellis Island. which
is being used today for the first time, is
q marked contrast to the Barge Once,
with its dirty, dimly lighted, cramPed,
penlike quarters. In place OF worn aoors
and board partitions. grimy and greasy
from contact with the soiled hands and
clothing of thousands OF immigrants.
there are concrete floors and white hard
surfaced plaster walls Instead of mar
row. gloomy passages there are spacious,
weII-lighted rooms.
The architects have tried N the new
building to fulfill every practical demand
in such a building, and give it besides.
architectural dignity. They have erected
a structure that IS not likely TO meet the
fate of the great '.tinder-box that did
duty on its site as an immigrant station
until Il was destroyed by fire three and
one-half years oga.
The building suggests an exposition hall
from the water. 1t is Of red brick. the de-
sign being picked out with Indiana lime
stone and Maine granite In some re-
SPects the interior resembles thai Of the
old structure which it replaces, The ma in
divisions are similar. As in the first
building. The examinations are conduc ed

rooms for the meetings Of the Board of
Special Enquiry, for records, fer the Con

medical and contract labor examinations.
The chief rooms on the third floor are
dormiteries for detained immigrants
Extreme care has been taken TO have the
sanitary conditions as close to perfection
as possible The foors are Of asphalt

There are no corners where hose may act

That trusts with their immense capital,
at times, attempt to use their power by
increasing prices and killing opposition
is true, but as we said, this is wrong as a
matter Of business policy. However, il
can be guarded against by the general
public. by treating all such corporations
as is done to railroads, banks and insur-
ance companies, and bring them under
the cognizance Of the public examiner,
and advertised statements in the public
press. Trusts are facts. not theories.
They are with us, and with us to stay.
Aggregation Of capital in any department
of business is not wrong in itself, and is
really, in most cases, distinct benefit.
What is needed by the public, not laws
to destroy, but laws to regulate the trust
business.

THE HOBO RAILROAD LAW.

Some of the counties through which
the railroads run are kicking because
under the law Furnishing persons who
steal rides. considerable expense accrues
to the county.
Stealing rides on railroad is just as
much theft as any other sort of stealing,
and railroads have as much right to pro-
lection as any other property owner. We
think nobody will deny this proposition.
Resides. the law is better than clubs.
Anyway we claim the right to tax the
railroads and that would seem to carry
the idea of legal protection for the prop
erty taxed.

TRUSTS.

Trusts are the product of the natural
forces as utilized by the people of this
century. They are the natural result Of
steam, electricity and other natural econ.
omics. Trusts are almost entirely con.
fined to manufactured products. Trusts
can only be successful when by the com.
bination of capital, the use Of machinery,
and the subdivision Of manual labor, the
product can be manufactured cheaper,
and consequently sold to the consumer
for less than smaller concerns can pro-
duce the same article. For instance the
country butcher who kills an animal,
throws away as offal the intestines, bones,
hoofs, ETC., and gets but little for the
hide; whereas the great packing houses
can sell the meat of an animal at actual
cost, and still make good profit on
what the country butcher throws away.
Accumulated capital like the Carnegie
Steel works, buys mines Of ore and coal,
builds railroads between them, establish
es great mills, puts in immense labor
saving machinery, and educates each
working man to do one thing ii the
quickest and best manner. So far,
trusts are legitimate. So far, and onithe
principle Of producing and selling ! Bet.
ter article at a cheaper price, trusts may
prosper, and prosper legitimately.
Occasionally, 9 trust tries to be q mon
opoly and control outputs and prices.
That kind oftrust can't succeed. Itn1ay
do II temporarily, but no trust can sur
y,iive either adverse pu5lic sentiment or
competition on high priced goods.
There isn't q prosperous trust today
that sells its products g higher prices
than when the same products were sold
|by smaller concerns. 81

FRY1Na-PAN INTO FIRE.

Because many republican papers Of
/: the state have out-spokenly criticised
some of the acts Of the late state repubs
lican convention, and because other re.
publicans have also criticised, whole
lot of people on the other side, are mis-.
takingly supposing that because the re-
publican frying-pan was hot enough in
places to canse a little wriggling, that
the whole painful are straightway going
to jump into the fiery furnace provided
by, and for, the fusion of the pops and
democrats. We want our friends, the
enemy, to notice that the criticisms come
from republicans, and from republican
standpoint. They refer in all cases to
persons, and not to principles. We may
have to- support one person as candi'
date, when we would have preferred
another, but that does not imply that the
successful candidate is in any way unfit
for our support. But here are hundreds
of gold democrats, and silver democrats.
expansion and non-expansion democrats,
silver republicans, referendum expansion
and anti expansion pops-running all
through the gamut from Croker to Petit
grew-all singing in the sweetest accord
for Bryan nd-never- mind -the-tail ticket.
There's vast difference between
selecting candidates and carrying Out
principles. In the republican convention
there was no question whatever as to
principles, but in the fusion state conven.
tons more than three-quarters of the
delegates were by the act of fusion com.
PEELED to swallow more or less of their
ails heAefs TO carry out the one
great principle, to.Wit: '.get Office"
As matter Of genuine political princi-
pie and belief, the democrat who believes
in gold basis for the currency, or the
populist who believes that the United
States have right and therefore by right
ought to govern the Philippines, will
stultify himself less by voting for repub-
lican candidates than for the candidates
provided for him by the fusion party.
That there are few people who accept
both the democratic and independent
platforms in their entirety, we think is
possible, but that large majority are at
irreconcilable differences as to currency,
expansion and militarism, is made certain
by the very difficulties shown in the con-
ventions of both the democrats and popu-
lists, and especially in the case Of fusion.
Republicans may quarrel over candi-
dates, but republicans never quarrel over
principles. They wouldn't be repub-
licans if they did.

wArTERsoNs TRIBUTE.
Theodore Roosevelt!

Theodore Roosevelt!
He brings to the ticket Just the things
that Mckinley cannot give it. He is in
every way McKinley's complement-in
age, in temperament, in record, in influ.
ence. He will supply the magnetism
and inspire the ardor necessary to a
hurrah campaign. He will light the
torches and wave the flags. But he will
do much more than that. He will attract
large element Of the independent vote,
which thinks for itself, which rebels
against boss rule, which recognizes and
admires brains, courage and integrity.
There is no man in the country who has
a larger following among this class than
Roosevelt, and it is a class which is daily
growing stronger and more assertive in
the affairs of government. a
But Roosevelt's strength will be even
greater among the young men, among
the flll-blooded Americans Of action
and progress, who believe in fighting
when fighting is necessary, and who,
however proudly they may look back on
their country's past, look forward to its
future even more proudly. ,i.ss3 . +

SPENCER NoM1NArRD.

The democratic and the independent
judicial conventions for the Seventh dis
trlct met at st. Thomas last Friday. and
did business. The convention didn't
seem to be finished when the Grafton
delegates returned in the evening. As
near as we can find out, the independ-
ents held their convention first and nom.
mated c. A. M. Spencer unanimously
forjudge. Then the democrats went
into session and appointed committee
to interview the Independents OIL the SUBJ
llect OF fusion. The latter refused to en-
tertain any proposition that was not tor
the endorsmeht Of Spencer, SO Spencer's
nomination stuck. Afterwards, it is said
that seven Independents combined with
the democrats and participated in the
nomination of Jeff NJ. Myers. Fusion is
now apparently out of the question, as
both candidates have signifed their in
tentlon of staying on the ticket. The
question arises as to how their names
wilSgo on the ticket. The state ticket is
independent-democratic. Then there is
no democratic ticket and no independent
ticket. Will they both have to go on by
petition, or will the few boilers who went
into the democratic convention without
authority from the independent conven-
ton, give 1t the name of independents
