..Tbe New Democrncy"

Immediately upon election TO the Senate
by fusion vote of the Idaho legislature
Mr.. dubois prociaims himself democrat.
and announces the intention OF entering
that rLrtyS caucus. Originally republi-
can. hc became silver republican in 1896.
ara since that time has affiliated with the
democracy under Mr.. Bryan's leadership
He dgopS now the designation of silver
rel publican and courageously takes that of
Il, n-ocrat. He is justified in his action and
there can be no doubt of the cordiali,y of
Eis reception by the men now in control
OF the democratic party. They win be
happy to receive him. and will endeavor
10 make him feel very much at home.
And Mr.. Dubois makes another announce
rlent equally Interesting. Mr.. Heitfield also
is going into The democratic caucus. And
why not? A populist OF popuists, the jul
Nor senator from Idaho has. like Mr.. Du-
beis. been ia affilla;ion with the democracy
ever since Mr.. Bryan became the leader of
that party. and now feels, one may assume
from Mr.. Dubois statement so much at

The first argument of any force in alay-
ing the popular and well-founded antipathy
to the trusts In this country has been
sounded by Lord Rosebery. He warns
England of the dangers of American COM
petition and comments on the fact that the
fortunes made in this country not de-
voted to social enjoyment or personal
leisure as they would be in England, but
are invested in syndicates for concentrated
attack upon British trade. If the purpose
of the trust is to annihi;ate foreign COM
merce and bring the profits to this CONT
nent it may be contemplated with more
liberation than was possible when it was
regarded simply a means of squeezing
undue revenues out of It's own neighbor-
