NOTHING BEING DONE.
Measures to Control the Trusts Have Not Been Projected by the
 Republicans.

The plan of eX-Senator Chandler for controlling the trusts and rail- road combines by congressional and state legislation k no doubt the rigb, one. But what a commentary ii ia upon himself and the other leaders of the republican party that after lcag terms in congress during which the whole growth of the trusts and railroad combinations has taken place no law has been passed, except the sherman law, to try and control them. Several bills have been pro- posed by democrats in congress. but the committee of the senate on inter- state commerce, of which Senator Chandler was for years member. never reported a bill to control the trusts, nor To amend the interstate commerce law. though the commis- sion charged with its execution Lave for years in their annual reports called special attention to what was required. but no action was taken. Senate Chandler did make fight against the anti-Scal per taw and with the help of the democrats, especially Senator Tillman. defeated it by dila- tory tactics.
 A great majority of the democrats in congress have been anxious and willing to vote for antitrust legisla- tion, but the steering committee of the senate, Allison. Aldrieh and Platt. would allow no such bill 10 be report ed. As they are still in power and all the republican senators are con- trolled by the railroads, it k not probable that any such legislation will be forthcoming from the next congress. If the eXigeney of the re- publican party requires show to be made against the trusts, and from the speech of the late president at Buf- falo it is evident that he believed that his party must take some ac- tion. 1t is quite safe to say that loophole will be left large enough for the trusts and the railroad combine To escape any serious damage.
 The whole trend of legislation since the war has been 10 foster monopolies and republican poli- tieian that is not in league with the railroad and al the back of the trusts is rara avis and has about as much chance of being elected to congress as water has of running up hili.
 There k satisfaction. however. in this crying aloud Of Chandler over the tyranny of the trusts He is alert ta the signs of the times and openly says that judgment is coming upon the republican party f t does not mend its ways He sees that the voters are becoming restless and that honest republicans can no longer be lulIed to sleep by promises The peo- pie are demanding action

TWO NEGRO BOYS HANGED.
They Were Charged With the >ton-
 ing to Death of a Printer.

Shelbyville. Ky. Oct. 3.-Jimbo Fields, aged 16. and Clarence Garnet. aged k. both colored, were lynehed here at two o'clock Wednesday morn ing for the alleged murder of Mil (. Hart. a printer. who was stoned to death on the night of Saturday. Sep tember 21. last. The negroes were taken from the jail and swung from the Chesapeake X Ohio treStle just beyond the depot and within 5oo yards of the jail. The mob's work was done quietly and quickly.
 About l:3o a. m., the mob ap- peared al the jail and demanded the keys but the jailer refused to sur render them The doors of the jail were then battered down. The pris- oners were removed and a few min utes later were hanging from the trestle.
 Hart came to Shelhyyille from Lebanon. O.. and at the time of his death was employed as a printer on the Shelby Sentinel.
 The details Of his death are not ac- eurately known, but it is conceded to be afaet that Fields and Garnett were his murdererS

POLICY OF THE FUTURE.
What We May Expect from the Com- ing Administration Of Presi-
 dent Roosevelt.

+ would be perhaps too early 10 call President Roosevelt an imperial ist on what he has sad and done in the past. because he may become more conservative now he has as- >umed the high station and great power of president of the United States. There k no douaf, however, that the president is a very drdent eNpansiouist of tae same school as the younger republican clique in the UHited States senate of whom Sena- tor Lodge and Beveridge are choice opponents. and We may fully expect most strenuous administration of our relations with foreign affairs.
 But a few weeks ago Mir Roosevelt Geliyered a sci address at Minneap- oils in which he eXpounded his views of our hopes and duties aS a world power and he held up the Roman em- pire at pattern for this country 10 copy. in dealing with other nations. Combating the opinion of what he termed some excellent people who believe We can shirk these world duties and others who seek 10 deter Us from treading the path of hard out lofty duty by bidding us remem- Der that all nations who have achieved greatness. that have ex- banded and played their part as world powers have in the end passed away" he answered this by citing that the Roman has passed away exactly as all nations of antiquity which did not expand when he ex- banded have passed away. but their NerX memory has vanished while he himself $ still living force through eat the wise world in our entire civilization of to-day and win so con- tInae through countless generations through untold ages
 Nr Roosevelt went further than this and said it was the duty of civ illed nations 10 conquer barbarous ones and suhdue them to civilization and claimed this was what We were doing in the Philippines and would have to do elsewhere.
 When he was sworn in as president he took special occasion To say that the policies of the late administTs- ton would he fully carried out, SO taat we may look forward 10 an even more strenuous. imperial policy reciprocity. and no revision Of the tariff to control the trusts, ship subsidies and a general favoring of the money power and monopolies and no legislation in the interest of the common people. This is the outlook, but II is "a be hoped that President Roosevelt will see more light on at leas; some of these weighiy matters.
