THE TRUSTS.

1t is very easy to denounce
trusts and very natural to blame
somebody for allowing them to
exist, but we look in vain for the
man who has devised a scheme
for smashing them. Governor
Roosevelt thinks that publicity
will partly do the work. Publici-
ty will no doubt check the busi-
ness of the fradulent trusts, but
whether or not it will have any
effect upon legitimate combina-
tons may be doubted. For ex-
ample: suppose half dozen
large nail factories conclude to
organize as one firm; that every
branch of the original business is
sound and lawful; that there is no
over-capitalization; that every
thing is open and straightfor-
ward, now, how is such a combi-
nation to be attacked? Shall we
have laws making it a crime for
half dozen firms to resolve them
selves into one? And, il so, must
we not also have laws making the
combination of individuals into
firms unlawful? These are ques-
tons to be considered, because
the old style Of trust, whereby
there was no actual passing of IL
tie to property, has been aband-
,oned. The Sherman law, a good
Republican measure, killed that
breed of trusts, but no law has
yet been invented which reaches
the present kind of trust, and it
really looks as though no such
law can be invented unless all
kinds of corporations and combi-
nations of capital and labor be
prohibited. And, then, where
will we land? Just, now, the
world is looking for some kind Of
serum which will smash trusts
without killing the body polite,
The man who discovers it will be
a real statesman and not a calam-
ity musician.

NO DISTINCTIONS.

Democratic papers are trying
to make Silver Republicans feel
bad and mean by reiterating the
old gag that Silver Republicans
must serve term of probation,
and that they must remain in the
ranks until they have proved their
loyalty, and all that kind of rot.
We want to say to any Silver Re-
publicans who have returned, that
they stand today the equal of ev-
cry other Republican. The Re-
publican party is not run purely
for the benefit of men who want
Office. 1t is especially organized
for the PRONUNCIATION of principles,
and when a man believes in those
principles and votes to establish
them in practice, he is Republi-
can and that settles it. Nobody
cares what he believed or prac-
ticed last year, or last month, Oh
last week. There may, it is true
be occasional cases of men re-
turning to the party for no pur-
pose other than to enjoy the pat
ronage which is incident to party
success. These will have to take
their chances, and they are liable
to get their reward. They are,
however, such an Insignificant fac
tor, that they in noway effect tn

distinctions among Republican,

The Montpelier Examiner has
started little boomlet in panti-
lettes for "honest John Haley"
The Examiner is confident that
Mr.. HALEY is the kind of stuff
out of which good governors are
made, and insists that if the Dem
ocrats "head their ticket with him
he will sweep the State like an
avalanche" We think the Ex-
miner is all right except that it
has got its figure mixed. 1t prob
ably means, sweep the State like
a glacier. There is nothing
about Johns action to suggest the
avalanche. . 81.

pense the offices? The fact is,
there is every reason to believe
that Mr.. Patrie has simply
followed the promptings Of
conscience IT, at the risk Of
his own political fortunes. Un-
der the conditions in this State, it
may with great justice be charg-
ed that Republicans cling to fu-
sion and Democracy for office,
but it is manifestly absurd to
charge that they abandon fusion
tor office. THE TRIBUNE be-
lleves that Silver Republicans are
necessarily animated by honest
motives when they return to the
Old party, and we are not asham-
cd to proclaim that we are
inlSnty glad to have them back.
We are not ashamed to proclaim
that we have steadily longed for
the old patriotic associations. In
times past, when we contemplated
the fusion camp, we always gag
ged a little when duty required
US to attack it, because we had
some mighty good friends over in
that camp. We will not deny
having said some pretty mean
things about fusionists, but we
always did it. with a mental reser-
walton. We always said to our
self, now, this don't apply to our
friends.

EVANS FOR GOVERNOR.

The story is circulating that
Dubois is trying to make a COM
bination with anti -Steunenberg
Democrats, and that prominent
feature of the play is to induce D.
L. Evans Speaker of the House
of Representatives, to stand for
governor. We suspect there is
not much foundation to that story.
1t is true that Mr.. Evans is en-
phatically nti-Steunenberg, at
heart, but he is also nti-Dubois
just as heartily. However, it is
difficult to foretell what kind of a
position he may assume. MIR.
Evans is a political enigma. He
holds himself out as Democrat
and trains with the Bryan wing
thereof;yet he is radical and out
spoken gold bug. He is also lib
eral expansionist and upholds the
Republican Philippine policy, and
he is, furthermore, a protectionist.
Yet nobody questions his pure
Democracy. He is banker, a
sheepman, and at the head of the
wealthiest mercantile corporation
in Oneida county. He is a
straightforward, enterprising busi-
ness man and rapidly accumulating
an immense fortune. He has heard
Bryan and thinks the boy orator
is shallow and tiresome, but ad-
mires Mckinley very much. The
funny part of it all is, Mr.. Evans
does not attempt to conceal his
principles nor excuse his practices
If he should be nominated by the
Democrats, Republicans could
vote for him conscientiously, but
it would split a Democrat wide
open to do it.

THE RAILROADS.

Most people believe it is a NOR
al and pious duty to hate rail-
roads. Not the rails and the
ties and engines, but the men who
own the brains that run the rail-
roads. We confess that we are
thoroughly saturated with this
prejudice and it troubles our con-
science when we find railroad
magnates doing things for which
we honestly denounce them.
Generally speaking, railroads af-
ford a most convenient and
safe escape for newspaper bile.
Whenever we are in doubt as 10
what will touch popular chord,
we lambast the railroads for dear
life, and then comes the comfort
ing assurances that we are solid
with the masses. Recently, we
read something which has given
us much discomfort and unrest.
They say that these capitatistic
octopuses are actually employing
learned and scientific men who
go about the country giving free
lectures on soil and nutrition.
Telling the farmers what kinds
of crops their soil is best adapted
for, and telling how to cultivate
those crops And then the rail-
road companies actually hunt up
the best cash markets for these
fcrops, and don't charge cent of
commission. They, the corpor-
ate blood suckers, actually send
out men experienced in poultry
raising whose business it is to
instruct farmers wives in the art
of raising hens and hen fruit, and
then they find good markets.
These minions of corporate greed
go prowling around the country
night and day giving all sorts OF
valuable and practical information
If they find man raising 50 cent
wheat on natural tomato farm
they tell him about it, show him
Ihow to raise tomatoes, actually
| furnish him with the best tested
seed at wholesale cost price, FUR
nish him with boxes at the loves
possible figure, show him where
his tomatoes can be sold to the
best advantage, and actully make

acre. 1t pains us to learn Of thes'
things, and we hope Mr.. Bryan

LITTLE COMPARISON.

Speaking of President McKin-
ley, an Idaho paper says, "his
three years occupancy Of the
presidential chair has seen the
national debt increased to a point
where it will never be paid of,
and the end is over a year away
yeti" That is about the coolest
thing we have had the pleasure
OF seeing in many days. During
the late lamented Democratic ad
ministration, when peace with all
its glorious victories brooded over
the land, when nothing was done,
or attempted, but grease the ma
chinery Of government, not a dol
lar of public debt was paid, but
new debt of upwards of $50 mil
lions was incurred to buy grease.
The whole country was plunged
into BANKRUPTCY and nothing was
heard save the music of the sher-
ifs hammer, the tarmp of Cox
ey's army, the rattle of free soup
plates and the Changing of the
endless chain. That was the sit
uation when President Mckinley
was inauguarated. Since then,
the effective force of our navy
have been doubled, a splendid
army has been created, a tyrant
and cruel nation has been
subdued and driven off the
western hemisphere, Cuba
has been succored and liberated,
Porto Rico has been annexed, the
Philippines have been purchased
and even now a magnificent army
is in the field, we'll paid, well fed
and splendidly equipped; yet,
Notwithstanding all this, sthe gov
ernment at Washington is so
prosperous that it is actually pay
ing off the public debt before it
becomes due. Its income is now
seven or eight millions a month
more than expenses. The whole
country is more prosperous than
ever before in all its history.
Why, if President Mckinley
should be reelected, which of
course he will, the National debt
will dissolve and pass away like
mist before the sun. But If the
Democrats should be successful,
all the holidays will be turned in
to days of fasting and supplica-
ton, because nothing but the
hand of God will save the coun-
try from actual starvation.

HOW ABOUT PATRIE NOW?

papers as the Caldwell Record
Boise Capital, Fremont Count,
News, and others, very much un.
der estimated the influence Of Sec.
retary of State Patrie. 1t has
been their habit, ever since Mr.
Patrie's letter was published, tc
ridicule the letter and dis
parage the author. They may
now reflect on their own aston
ishing capacity for misjudging
situations. IF Democratic papers
had a little more discernment and
and little less bile, they would
have perceived that it was not
Mart Patrie's signature which
gave weight to the letter, but the
undeniable truths he testified to.
They would have seen that he
gave expression to the thoughts
which were in the minds of hon =
est Silver Republicans through
out the State, and they would
have been able to understand that
Mr.. Patrie's strength and infu-
ence were in the cause more than
in his personality. Even Cover
nor Steunenberg, with his ack-
nowledged astuteness, failed to
realize the force of this truth; but
that will not surprise the COVER
nor's most intimate friends. Those
who are nearest to him know
that he has no appreciation of
causes and no comprehension
Of the movements of men who
are inspired by principle. In JUS
tice to Mr.. Steunenberg, it must
be admitted though that he is
sagacious and resourceful manip-
ulator--a remarkably expert pol
itician, SO long as people confne
themselves to strictly machine
methods, but when they get to
following the dictates Of honest
conscience and basing their &C
tons on principle, he knows no
rule by which to calculate their
probable course. 1t will be re-
membered that shortly after the
publication of Mr.. Patrie's letter,
the governor brusquely announc-
ed that it would amount to Moth
ing; that it was only the vapor-
ing of an irritated and and de-
ranged politician; that even in
Fremont county, Mr.. Patrie was
without reputation or influence.
What a quantity of conceit, the
events of last week must have
knocked out of his excellency's
system! In the light of that
Fremont county meeting, who
shall we regard as the vaporing,
derangede and disreputable poll
tlcian, Mr., Steunenberg or Mr. ;.
Fatrie? So far as the evidences
OF this test go, they prove that in
reputation, influence and judg-
ment, Mr.. Patrie completely ov-
sTshadows Mr.. Steunenberg.
This is all the more noticeable in
view of the fact that Mr.. Patrie
does not pose as a leader. He
makes no professions to being
greater than the lowliest af his
political associates. OF course, it

THE STONE OF GRATITUDE.
An old Roman Legend That Treats
of the Topaz.

An old Roman Legend That Treats
of the Topaz.
The topaz Is called the stone of graf
itude, md the old Roman books record
the following legend from which the
stone derives this attribute:
The blind Emperor Theodosius used
to hang a brazen gong before his pal
ace gates and sit beside It on certain
days. hearing and putting to rights the
grievances of any of his subjects.
Those who wished for his advice and
help had but to sound the gong, and
Immediately admission into the pres
ence OF Caesar was obtained.
One day c great snake crept up to
the gate and struck the brazen gong
with her coils, aud Theodosius gave or
ders that no one should molcst the
creature and bGde her tell him her
wish. The snake bent her crest lowly
IN homage and stralghtaway told the
following tale:
Her nest was at the base Of the gate
way tower. and while she had gone to
find food for her young brood a strange
beast covered With sharp needles had
invaded her home. killed the nestlings
and now held possession OF the little
dwelling. Would Cesar grant her jus
tice?
The emperor gave orders for the por-
cupine TO be slain and the mother to be
restored TO her desolate nest. Night
fell, and the sleeping world had forgot
ten the emperor's kindly deed. but with
the early dawn a great serpent glided
into the palace, up the steps and into
the royal chamber and laid upon each
of the emperor's closed eyelids n gleam-
ing topaz. When Emperor Theodosius
awoke. he found he was no longer
blind. for the mother snake had paid
her debt of gratitude.-Exchange.

Sleep Is not "the brother of DEATH"
as the poets have said from Homer
to Shelley; brt, on the contrary, ''sleep
is the brother Of life" SO Professor
Baschide asserts, who, in an article

jects were Of various ages, from l year
to so years.
In some cases his observations were
continued during the whole night and
In others for great part OF the night.
He watched and recorded every
change Of physlognomy, every move
ment OF the limbs and every speech or
sound uttered by the unconscious
dreamers. The depth OF the sleep was
also carefully measured, while from
time to time the dreamers were awak-
ened, but without their own perceD-
ton that the awakening was inten-
tional.

we imagine to be "dreamless." (2)
There is an intimate connection be-
tween the depth Of our sleep and the
character of our dreams. The deeper
the sleep the further back travels the
retrospect into the past experiences Of
life and also the more remote are the
contents of the dream from reality. In
a light sleep, on the contrary, the sub
ject Of the dream relates to the expe-
riences and excitements OF the day
and has n character of probability. C9
In a comatose sleep the professor
thinks there may perhaps be no dream

do not dream ARE the victims Of phys
