AFTER THE PAPER TRUST.
COLORADO EDITORS STARTING A
NATIONAL MOVEMENT.
Demand Congregational Action to RE-
move All Duties ON Wood Pulp
or Material which Enters Into
the Manufacture OF Paper.

DENVER, Jan. A.-The Colorado Edi-
torial Association, which has just adj
journed, has stirred all Western newspa-
per publishers to action by adopting reso-
lutions demanding of congress that 1t re-
peal the tariff on wood pulp and all ma
terials entering into the manufacture OF
white print paper.
The resolutions pledge the association
to oppose for reelection any member or
senator In congress who does not favor
the immediate repeal OF the duties mem
toned. To the end that all the news
papers In America shall have a voice In
this matter the association appointed a
committee consisting Of Hon. T. M. Pat
terson, II. ]. Atkins and E. G.. Cooper to
issue call to the publishers of America
and It was given out TO the press as fol-
lows:

DEMOCRACY SEEMS DOOMED,
Judgment of an Outside student of
American Affairs.

Vancouver, b. c., News-Advertiser.
A serious cleavage in the ranks OF the
Democratic party OF the United States Is
now apparently imminent, as many Of the
members OF the party altogether decline
to follow Mr. w. j. Bryan. This was
strongly emphasized in Maryland the other
day when the state house Of delegates--a
very Democratic body-declined to indorse
Mr. Bryan as the recognized leader Of the
party in the United States and decided
against inviting him to address the house.
In view of the fact that whilst Presi-
dent Mckinley and his Republican col
leagues and followers adopt generally
friendly policy toward our empire, the
Democrats and their leaders encourage in
all possible ways attempts to rouse anti
British prejudice in the United States. we
cannot but regard with more than little
satisfaction the likelihood Of early schism
In the Democratic ranks.
The reason for such feeling Is natural,
the Democrats having latterly shown
themselves most ungrateful to Great Brit
ain, which adopted so effectual policy
OF friendly neutrality toward their coun-
try during it's recent war with Spain.
Hence 1t is difficult for loyal Britons any
longer to feel much sympathy for Mr..
Bryan and his cause, whatever may be
their views on such issues as those con-
corning currency and the admitted evils Of
trusts and combines.
Meanwhile, most Indications on the other
side OF the line tend to show that the
Republican party will again succeed at
the coming presidential election.

noon off and gave her little son a series
of instructions calculated to improve mis-

After the Parkers had finished their
first dinner in the Wimberly fiat, the
men got to discussing the trust question.
and, while the ladies were slipping their
coffee, the talk drifted around to the
Beers and China. Mr.. Parker leaned for
ward, put his elbows on the table and
rested his chin in one of his palms.
Little Egbert was worried. He made a
'whist!' at his mother and pointed al
Parker, but she pretended not TO hear and
went on talking as hard as she could.
Then the boy said:
