symbolical exposition of the Triple Alli-

crown. Similar designs are introduced at
the corners, and the -four colors" are

At McKeesport and Charter the Ameri-
can Steel Company is tearing down its
sheet mills preparatory to their removal
conformably with its threat to do so. 1t
is now believed that it will next dismantie
the plant at Piqua. Ohio, unless the men
on strike Immediately return to work.
After that it will do the same at all places
where the strikers remain otdurate after
notice. AS might be supposed. such
policy and movement could not fail to
touch politics. especially in Ohio. There
the people of Industrial towns are greatly
excited over the matter and there Is no
doubt that the trust coup, if carried to
the end, will exert sweeping effect upon
the State elections. The Ohio working
people by this time are beginning to learn
that the Republican party and its inner
machine are merely registering machines
for the trusts.

Sir Thomas Upton is reported as say
ing that his new boat is nine minutes
faster than the old one, and that the lat
ter is eight minutes faster than when she
sailed in the last race for the cup, whlch
makes a difference Of seventeen minutes
in favor of Shamrock III. In this Sir
Thomas may be right. and his boat may
be good enough to lift the cup, but his
method of figuring is very uncertain
one. 1t is not easy to determine just how
much faster the old boat has been made.
for there has been no way Of testing her
under the same conditions. Nor is there
any reason for believing that Shamrock L
has been improved any more than has the
Columbia. Therefore the races between
the two Shamrocks and the Columbia and
the Constitution do not give L. very clear
line on the probable outcome of the cup
race. whichever of the American boats
may be selected. But Sir Thomas is COM
ing over filed to the brim with enthu-
siasm, and we are glad of 1t. We hope
he will receive a whole-souled welcome,
the fairest of fair play, that both coats
may do splendidly, and that the cup Will

the revival came. that also was inter
national in character, the change ap-
peGring in Europe about year be-
fore ii did here. But our main purpose
now is merely to show how unfounded
is the claim that we always have pros
perity under Republican policies.
The worst that can be said of the
Wilson law is that it contained some
bad provisions. which all tariff laws
do. and that it may have been injudl-
cious to make a sweeping revision of
the tariff ut a time when the business
of the country was at an exceedingly
low ebb. The conditions were not such
as to give the measure fair test, and
the Republicans were enabled to claim
that it was one of the causes of the
hard times. But conditions were i'm
proving even under the Wilson law. and
there is no reason to doubt that there
would have been a full return of pros
perity without the enactment of any
such monstrosity as the Dingley law
We may concede that there was not
general reopening oftthe mills until af-
ter that measure was passed; but that
was merely becauseIthe manufacturing
interests were DESTROYS OF pointing To
the idle mills as an argument In FAVOR
of the tariff. which they wanted. They
knew that their profits under the Ding
ley law would be larger tran under the
Wilson law, but that proves nothing
in favor of the superior excellence of the
Dingley brand Of tariff legislation. 1t
merely proves that the immediate ben
eficiaries of the tariff system want all

Reduces the Assessment.

The street railway company will pay
taxes next year on a valuation of its
personal property at 81, i6S, 925. unless the
courts set the assessment aside as eX-
cessive. Last year the state board Of
equalization fixed the personal assess
n2ent of the Minneapolis Street Railway
company at 50, 400 co and the company
appealed to the courts on the ground
that the assessment was excessive. The
case is still pending.
The city board of equalization reduced
the estimate of the city assessor by
$500 COO that official assessing the com
pany 600 on it's personal property.
The company contended that $2,763, 600
was million dollars too high. The
board turned the matter over yesterday
