Trusts nor the Express Trust, nor the
Standard Oil Trust, nor the Paper
Trust, nor any other one Of them?
They are allowed by statute law to ap-
our farms and streets and
roads, for their own good. They have
no such right by natural law. And If
it were not for the statute laws, that,
in the name of the public good, allow
railroads, and telegraphs and tele-
phones, ETC., ETC., special privileges,
and allow, by statute law, combina-
tions of the strong against the weak,
none of these Trusts could or would
exist. 1t is because they have abused
the power given them by statute law
to serve the public, and are using that
power to carry on the business of
Trusts, that Trusts are possible. And
this being so, the Government has the
right to use statute law to crush all
Trusts, if we find that their existence
is against the public good.
The Tribune's article is speciOus
argument; but its premises are false
and its conclusions all erroneous
There is no right basis on which Trusts
can stand. They are the greatest curse
that threatens our civilization. This
is the 'REPUBLICAN'S stand; it is the
stand of the people. And the frs
of the great parties that seize'
and honestly solves this great problem
is destined to victory. 1t will be tn,
peoples deliverer.

REV. P. A. BAKER insists that Sena-
tor Hanna stood in with the liquor in
terest of the State. Well, there are
charges and denials, and the people
haven't time to investigate them. We
hope, however, that the G. o. p. won't
be held responsible for all the sins OF
Mr.. Hanna. But this much is known,
that one of the best Temperance laws
on our statute books was repealed by a
Republican Legislature, and the Leg
islature refused to give the people
county and city local option. We have
no truth to conceal. We have never
seen the time when the Republican
party CAME up to our ideas Of Temper
ance. Yet we have supported it be.
cause it has been the best Temperance
party In the State. But it is not q time
for the Republican party to take any
step backward at the dictatiOn OF the
brewers or bargaining politicians; and
it must show itself the representative
of its better element and not of the
brewers, or it will GO. down in defeat.

HE DIDN'T
See 0rOSvenOr Stroke his Whlskers,
and Hanna Wink the Other Eye.

Senator Hanna having been opposed
to the seating of Quay, which is not to
his discredit, and it having been stated
through the papers that when the news
came.to the State Convention, of Quay's
defeat, that Gen. Grosvenor stroked his
whiskers, and Hanna winked the other
eye; and some timid souls about the
White House kitchen having got it into
their heads that this was s'parlous'
thing to do in Presidential campaign,
one Joseph Kahnheimer, of Cardington,
Ohio, rushes into print with a state
ment to prove that Mr.. Grosvenor did
not comb his beard and Mr.. Hanna
didn't wink once, when they met. He
says he saw them meet and there was
nothing Quayre nor anti-quary about
their conduct!
This is the most beautiful attempt we
ever knew being made, by man or mon
key, to draw name with so many kinks
in it, into public notice, without any
adequate provocation.

THE NEW LAW.
II Is Unlawful to, Shoot Ducks, at Any
Time of Year.

BY blunder in the new game law 1t Is
made unlawful to shoot ducks at any
place in Ohio, at any time in the year.
The other provisions OF the new law
as condensed by Mr.. Malloy, Chief
Clerk of the Secretary of State, are as
follows:
Some details Of other changes may be
of interest: BY amendments to section
400 the State Game Commissioner need
not make an annual report. The chief
game warden's term of Office Is made
one year instead of two. Special deputy
wardens, who take the place of county
wardens, are unlimited in number, and
instead of $500 may be paid anything
the commission pleases. Arrests may
be made without warrants; fish, game,
nets and guns may be seized without
process, and no writ of replevin lies.
In trials the burden of proof is on the
hunter. In acquittals the costs are
charged against the county, and GER
tain sections requires fines to be paid
into the county game fund, while
others requires fines to be paid to the
State Commission, and the wardens are
to be paid by the State and no longer
by the county. Two bills passed the
same day, and so of equal legal stand
ing, amend section 6968. One requires
confiscated nets to be destroyed; the
other does not. One doubles the fine
for fishing with trammel net; the
other leaves the fine as it was. One
allows set nets in the Mercer county
reservoir from September to May l,
and exempts private fish ponds from
the law. Both amendments allow the

and carp with gig or spear. Amend
ments to section 1868 abolish the pro-
visions which forbade setting pond or
trap nets in Lake Erie at greater dis
tance than eight miles from shore, and
forebade setting gill nets in Lake Erie
except when the water Is thirty-six
feet deep or over.
Amendment to section 6968-3 re-
quires after September l, 1900, the bot
tom of the crib of nets used In Lake
Erie, Maumee, and Sandusky bays, to
be made of 24 inch mesh. German
carp may be caught on getting permits

In making short open season for all
game between November 10 and De
cember l, doves were taken from the
protected list, and rabbits were put
back in the list, except that farmers
can shoot rabbits on their own land
whenever they please. The season fOl
coot and mudhen is November 10 II
December l, and also March 10 to Apri
10. While the season for shooting
game is restricted to the last 20 days O
November, the sections forbidding tn,
sale of game during the various closed
seasons that formerly obtained wert
not amended. Consequently while to-
instance it is no longer lawful to xii
quail in the first two weeks of Decem
Der, it is perfectly legal to sell the bird
during that fortnight. And while
woodcock must not be shot until No
vember, there is nothing to proven
ones buying it on the Fourth of July

WHY NOT BUY

Good Staple Goods from nice large
stock well kept and kept ever fresh by
rapid turning? The handling of large
quantities of goods insures fresh up-to-

than it is possible with small quantities.
Many times we buy at jobbers' prices

Our long experience is to your advant-

not trade with us, come in whether

BOERS BECOMING PANlCKY.
They Are Said to Have Deserted Both
Ladybrand and Ficksburg-Are Not
Yet Ready to Try to Stop Lord
Roberts Advance.

London, May 6.-Although the Brit
ish expected considerable opposition at
the difficult drift of the Zand River,
the latest advices from Smaldeel,
Orange Free State, indicate that the
federals are not yet ready TO make a
determined attempt to stem General
Roberts advance.
The latter's front is so wide and over
whelming in numbers that it is d fficult
to see how the Beers can help being
ousted out of Virginia Siding as they
were out of Smaldeel, even if they
elected to give battle.
The same consideration would prob
ably affect the situation at Kroonstadt,
hence the general belief that little real
opposition will be encountered south OF
the Vaal.
The repairs to the bridges over the
Vet river and the .Vaal are expected to
retard the general march from Small.
deel and Fourteen Streams for three
or four days, when General Butler will
also be ready.
The general idea is that General
Roberts will direct his right on Harri
smith in order to get in touch with the
Natal army coming through Vanreen's
Pass;
A dispatch from Maseru, dated May
8, says the Beers have deserted botf
Ladybrand and Ficksburg in a panicky
condition, owing to reports that the
British had occupied Senekel, thu:
threatening their retreat to Transvaal
1t is announced in special dispatch
from Lourenco Marques that the gov
ernment of the Orange Free State ha
