Luck Against the confederates,

"In the battle Of Memphis said the
Commodore. luck was against the
Confederates from the first. We at
Memphis had expected great deal Of
our new Confederate rams, but in the
very beginning of the battle one Of the
finest Of the Confederate rams, making
n dash for one of the Union vessels.
struck one Of our own vessels. The
Union ram evaded the first vessel or
lodged out of the way, and COnfeder-
ate came against Confederate with the
full force of steam power. The result
was that both went down, while the
Union ram whirled about and FASTENED
their sinking. From that minute the
tide went against the Confederates,
and all of their splendid vessels We're
sunk or disabled. Chicago Inter
Ocean.

Colonial Cost and Colonial Trade.
The report that Adjutant General
Corbin has arranged with General
Chaffee for a reduction of the army
In the Philippines and that it is esti-
mated that expenses for this branch OF
the service may be decreased 80 per
cent suggests review of the cost of
our war with Spain. which indicates
tnat we had better stick to its human
itarian import and ignore it as cash
transaction.
Before the war began the maintenance
OF our army came to about Soo,ooo,OoO
annually. that of the navy to about
S35.0OO,OOO The totaS for period OF
four years, reckoning from the fiscal
year ending with June, 1898, to the
fiscal year just closed, would be 500
100000 in the one case and S14o.Ooo,OOO
in the other. But the actual cost of the
army during that period has been $780,,
110.636 and of the navy S24o. 1?6.9S4.
The excess on the first account is $780,
s l106S6. on the second S1O0. l96.9S4.
8 Adding the S200O0.000 given to Spain,
the cash investment comes TO more
than $500. 200, 600. and it has been tax
en- from the whole American people by
taxation.
OF course the islands We have cap
tured and purchased are worth great
deal more money than that. hut what
we have acquired is sovereignty not
property. The same people inhabit
them as of old. and thei: property
rights remain as of old If we wish to
make point of material gains we SHALL
have to turn to the question Of trade
and commerce, and even then no man
can tell what the commercial gain
might have been without sovereignty,
since the,e is no absolute ratio affect
ing politics and commerce. We ex-
ported as much or nearly as much to
Cuba in the year ending with June,
1898. as We did during the last fiscal
year, when the island was under our
control.
Looking. however, to the places that
have been reduced to permanent pos
sessions We discover that there has
been an increase of American exports
to>them which may properly be attrib-
uted to politically stimulated market
for American commodities. The fig
ures for the year just closed, which are
much larger than those for the pre-
vious year. are some S5,OO0.O0O greater
Tor Porto Rico than they were before
the war and not quite 81 100000 great
er for the Philippines. But there are
two things to note i'm this connection
for the special bearing which they
have on the meaning of the figures.
Part of the gain in the Philippines is
chargeable as an expense TO the Amer
lean people as 4 whole. since they paid
for supplies sent TO the islands for the
maintenance of their army, and. more
important still. the gain in Porto Rico
was distinctly gain from tariff con-
cessions. Trade follows low tariffs.
But continued large expenditures on
military account would far more than
Offset all possible gains. even il tariffs
were abolished and it were permissible
TO balance a government debit with a
trade credit. For the ratio of military
cost to exports is now about as 8 to /.
and the latter cannot have any very
great expansion because the import
ing people are not people of highly
cultivated wants.

ley law was enacted. No attempt was
made TO enforce it for year or more.
Then Mr. Harrison's Attorney General
woke up with start and hastily wrote
letter to United States District At
torneys directing them to take that
antitrust law and LAY it alongside" of
any combine that came handy and see
whether it would fit.
The result was great activity against
trusts. but it was mostly confined to the
news and editorial columns of the ad-
ministration newspapers. Some alleged
combines which were not tariff protect
ed were attacked, and one Insignificant
little trust which was tariff protected
was hit pretty hard.
After election the activity subsided.
The only important application of the
Sherman law was TO a railroad combine
which was not tariff protected in any
degree or manner, and that application
was in no wise due to Republican ef
fort
Now that the discovery has been
made that Representative Babcock
speaks for great numbers of Republic
ans in the West, that he cannot be
turned down and that trouble for the
party is brewing, it is perceived that
something must be done or the Repub-
lican party will be in a desperately bad
way long before the next Presidential
election. If the big combines are de-
prived of protection there will be re-
volt in New England and Pennsylvania.
If they are not deprived of protection
there will he rebellion in the West.
In this dilemma the administration,
we are told by its organs. has resolved
that a searching investigation shall be
set on foot to find out whether certain
great corporate combinations are oper-
ating in contravention of the Sherman
antitrust law" In fact. it is asserted
that the department of justice. presided
over by great corporation lawyer. is
already secretly carrying on this in
vestigation.
If the department finds something
wrong ''the trust question then will re-
solve itself into a paramount legal issue
and be fought to finish. Against the
Federal government will be arrayed
vast aggregations of capital" etc.
Just SO. This battle royal is to be
put up to amuse the people of the West
and prevent them from joining Mr..
Babcock in demanding that combines
which can sell in all the markets of the
world without protection shall be de-
prived of their power to exact higher
prices from Americans than they are
glad to get from foreigners.
The administration game is to fool
Western people by making tremend-
GUS bluster over the enforcement of a
law which has been proved worthless
by more than ten years of experience.
1t remains to be seen whether Western
Republicans can be fooled again by
legal sham battle.-ChicagO Chronicle.

In view OF the recent dlScuSSlOn
whether Frank $. Rosenthal of Car

review of the facts in this case may
prove interesting. Gen. Clement a.

who later was promoted to the COM
mand of the famous Stonewall brigade,
when told of Mr. ROsenthars fears
that he was the particular man who
fired the fatal shot. said the idea of
any one man thinking he was respon-
sible for Jackson's death was ridicu-
lous. There We're three distinct

Jackson was shot and the 18th is
named as firing the fatal shots. Mrs.
Jackson's account, In part. of the ac-
cident, In her work on the life of her

and several cOuriers, advanced on the

upon by 4 volley of musketry from his
right front The bullets whistled
among the party and struck several
horses. This first was evidently from
the enemy and one of his men caught
the bride rein and said TO him: Gen.
