TILE uLIN0Is sENAroRsHIP.

News reports from Illinois concern
ing the campaign for the United States
senate now being made by Senator
Mason and United States Comptroller
Dawes confiI m the statement, the St.
Louis Repu bile claims, made some
time ago by it to the effect that Mr..
Mckinley was taking an active hand
in the fight. The fact cannot longer
be hidden from the people of Illinois
that a national administration is in
terfering to an unwarrantable degree
in the politics of their state. 1t is
Enthusiastically plain that 10 certain
ways the full force of administration
influence will be exected in behalf of
Mr.. Dawes election TO the senate.
Dawes himself has been armed for
the fray by means of an important
patronage placed in his hands by
President Mckinley. The admins
tration Ieutenants in Illinois affairs
are working for Dawes tooth and
nail.
Between Senator Mason and Comp
troller Dawes the choice should be
made, as the Republic declares in this
unhampered by outside interference.

the province of any national admins
tration to ate nPt to dictate such
choice. In this particular instance it
does not legitimately matter that
Senator Mason is distasteful to Mr..
Mckinley and that Comptroller
Dawes is one of Mr.. Mckinley's po-
litical proteges. 1t is for the people
of Illinois to say, without any assist
ance from Washington, whether they
prefer Mason or Dawes. Under the
healthiest conditions of state spirit,
the fact that the administration ma
chine is working for Dawes election
would defeat that candidate before
the legislature. 1t would be well if
this sort of a rebuke were certain
every time national machine inter-
feres in state politics.
The people of Illinois possess an
excellent opportunity to adequately
insist upon their right to manage
their own affairs.

THE trade of the orient may look
large now. but it is not to be COM
pared with what it will be when the
millions of Chins's population have
multiplied their wants through an
advance in civilization, says the
Denver Republican. This is simplifi-
cation of the great plan of the pro-
gress of nations. Teach the blasted
heather to multiply his wants" and
then corner the market on him. This
is the United States idea. There is
more money in it, finally, than in the
plan of the powers 10 at once take
John Chinaman by the throat and

coMBINING AGAINST TRUSTS.

Much new competition is springing
up in the iron and steel business for
the big trust. The New York jour
nal of Commerce finds that since the
trust took the field two months or so
ago no less than $137, 800. 900 has
been added to the capitalization of
existing independent companies or
invested by new iron and steel COM
panies. This list does not include
concerns like the Jones 81 Laughlins
works at Pittsburg, which are prepar-
ing TO expand their output heavily
without adding to capitalization.
Reports are that two or three of the
leading independent companies OF
Pennsylvania have been or are being
purchased in the trusts interest, but
1t is fact that competing capital is
pouring into the field against the
trust quite as fast as the latter can
buy it up.

MABCCs AURELIUs HANNA is again
demonstrating that he is the whole

Instead of permitting the mayor of

daughter for the distinction, and
then to add insult to injury has ten
dered to the daughter of Mayor Tom
johnson, of Cleveland, the privilege of

his daughter to accept the role that
Mark has prepared for her. When
the battleship Ohio was launched
