A BeIated Zeal.

We are told in the dispatches from
Washington that the president, aided
by his faithful GrosvenOr, has deter
mined to make an example of the Re-
publican office holders in Utah who are
charged with practicing polygamy.
This is right. But why were these
officials appointed? Is this polygamy
only reprehensible now because it has
been brought into public view by the
developments in the Roberts case?
Mr.. Mckinley should have inquired in
TO the moral turpitude of these ap-
pOintees n good while ago He should
not have waited until American public
opinion, aroused into protest against
the reflection upon the sacredness of
the American home and the Christian

his conduct is not removed by his pres

TARIFF AND TRUSTS.
They Work Hand in Hand in Their
Destru tion.

Havemeyer blum ly declared that
the protective tariff is the mother of
trusts.
This declaration from a trust mama

Vt trust advocates, and destruction
broadcast among tleir arguments.
OF course. Havemeyers dictum was
disputed. There could be no argument
ON the question AMI therefore the de-
Tenders of the trust in fury fell back
ON strenuous denials.
But now the testimony of another
character appears to strengthen the as
rcrtionS by Ilavemeyer.
confusion has taken the place of as
Scrtion and both combined cannot be
successfully disputed. Millionaire John
W. Gates managing director of the
American Steel and Wire trust in his
testimony the other day before the
Industrial commission, candidly con-
fpSSed that his combine had not only
succeeded so far in throttling compe-
tition in the United States, that the
products it handled had doubled in
price. but that he and his associates
tried to bring about n manufacturing
monopoly with the iron and steel pro-
u"NclS VI TTedI bFlJaln, GeflnailN,
France, Belgium, and other European
countries. The blame for the failure
TO make worldwide steel and wire
trust he lays on the foreigners-Mr.
Gates was willing.
Now, why did Millionaire Gates
want to make a combine with Europe

Simply because, although he controls
90 per cent of the iron and steel bust
hess of this country. lie is forced to I'M
dersell the Europeans in the foreign
market or do no business there.
And while he can underSell them
there, and while he does undersel
them there, and while he makes money
doing this. yet he wants to maze more
money and hence Strove to get up

Great office RuiIdinq.

New York is to have the biggest of.
fec building in the world, it is said.
1t will not be remarkably high-only
20 stories-but it will cover great
deal of ground and have more interi-
or space than any other structure on
the globe used for Office purposes.
The site, at the southeast corner of
Broad street and Exchange place, in
the very heart of the money district,
will cost $2,000,000 and it is believed
the building can be erected for $4,000
900 more. Six million dollars for
block of brick and iron is a goodly
sum, but when the size of the block
and the value of the land on which 1t
will stand are considered it does not
appear to be too much. The new ALI
ance Realty Company, Of which Fred
erick Southack is President, bought
the ground the other day and work on
the building will be commenced very
soon.

KILLED BY A 8EAK.
The Loon Is Dangerous Bird With

The loon or great northern diver. is

A young Menace Indian living at

day.
One day the youth, who was an
adept at initiating the peculiar sob.
bling cry of the loon, succeeded in call.
ing b bird within shooting distance.
His shot, however, failed to kill out.
right, and the bird, although so Sc.
verely injured it could neither swim
nor dive, yet retained sufficient life
and strength to remain upright in the
water.
The boy, thinking that his game did
not need another shot swan out to
retrieve it, but when he approached
near enough to seize the bird it sud.
denly made a dash at him, sending
his head and neck out with q spring
like an arrow from a bow. 1t was
only by quick duck of his head that
the Indian succeeded in evading the
blow. He swan about the loon sew
eral times, attempting to dash in and
seize him by the neck, but the willy
bird succeeded in foiling each effort
by continually facing him and lunging
out with his powerful neck.
The Indian then swan up to within
few feet of the bird, and, diving un.
der him with considerable skill,
caught him by the legs. He carried
him under, and although the bird
struggled fiercely, managed to retain
their hold. But when they both came
to the surface again, a battle royal
began, the Indian seeking to carry his
prize to shore and the bird attempting
to regain his freedom. The bird, how
ever, was too much for his foe, and
before the Indian had covered a yard
on his shore-bound course, disabled
him with a vicious blow from his
beak full on the naked chest.
The effect of the blow was almost
instantaneously fatal, for the beak
penetrated close to the Indians heart.
