PRESIDENT ROosEvRLT seems
to have made up his mind that the
aggressive methods of the railways
in forming trusts and consultations
must be checked and with this end
in view Attorney General Knox is
instructed to begin proceedings
against the corporations that are
violating the Sherman antitrust
law. If these prosecutions are in
earnest and honestly pushed to a
conclusion, the president may as
well make up his mind to cut loose
from the Hanna wing Of his party.
The leaders are opposed to interior
ence with the unlawful acts of the
trusts and will encompass the defeat
of the president in the nominating
if it is in their power to
do so-an1 it generally is. The
action Of the president is in keep
ing with democratic ideas and doc
trine and if he continues along the
the same lines of reform it would
not be surprising to see him advo-
eating more than one democratic
principle before his term Of Office
expires.

THE ship subsidy bill has passed
the senate after voting down a
number of amendments, among
them one providing that no part of
the subsidy should be paid to ships
employing Chinese. The amount
to be donated to the wealthy ship
owners from the public treasury is
limited to the modest sum Of So
COO, 900 annually. There would
be just as much sense and justice in

accepted as one composed of good
men who will work for the best in
tereSts Of the town. The. nominees
are all men of business experience
and will be interested in doing that
which will promote the growth.

is some talk of another ticket,
which would give the voters more

matter and we are of the opinion
that no material Improvement can

THIS paragraph from the Idaho
Statesman sums up the political
situation, so far as the populistS are
concerned, in very few words,
There is still remnant of the
populist party that desire to keep
up some kind of an organization
for their own benefit. In this state
there are enite a number of this
class. They are we'll known, Men
familiar with political conditions
can point out number of them.
They are regarded on all sides, by
people of all parties and factions,
as political wolves, but they seem
to think they are great politicians
and they can control the current of
events. 1t is few of the pol
itical wolves" who are attempting
to hold the organization together
for the purpose of obtaining spoils,
Most of the populiSts are now lined
up in the democratic party because
that party advocates the principles
they believe in.

A MILITARY PUZZLE.

At the end of a week Gen. Kitch-
aner has sent few details of the dis
aster to Methuen's I, 200 men. Not
long ago British convoy guarded
by 700 men was captured and few
troops escaped In neither case
was the defense satisfactory says
the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
Methuen's column appears to have
been case Of general panic and
rout from start The commander
was greatly to blame for not know
ing that the enemy was near. He
took up the line of march before
daylight in total Inconsistencies
OF danger. He was surprised on his
own ground at the moment he be-
gan an offensive movement, his
force scattered or captured, and
guns and trains taken. Four hind
red of his mounted men turned up.
at entrenched British posts, stating
that they had been pursued. four
miles" They made no stand, and
apparently fled in the first panic.
Kitchener's silence undoubtedly
means that he does not care to
dwell upon the particulars. 1t is
no reflection on native British cour-
age to say that the disasters sus-
tanned by Kitchener's forces within
the last two months show a loss of
morale among the men and a pre-
vailing laxness as yet unexplained.
Within their limited resources the
Beers are outgeneraling and out
fighting their adversaTies at every
point The Boer method is care
fully planned attack, pushed with
the most vigorous energy until the
enemy fees or hoists the white flag
under steady storm of we'll direct
ed bullets. 1t was so at Maiuba,
and the Beers have always held
that method of attack to be their
best resort.

THERE is every indication that
congress Intends to do something
toward an isthmian canal. The
senate committee reported favorably
on the bill, and while it will meet
with some opposition from Senator
Hanna and other monopolists, there
seems 10 be no doubt it will pass
by a good majority. The prospects
for its becoming law are enhanced
by the favorable action Of the Mic
araguan and Costa Rican govern
ments by offering very reasonable
terms and permanent concession of
the territory through which the
proposed canal runs.

IT is unfortunate for North Da-
kata that she should be visited BY
one of those terrible billiards that
originate over the border in Canada
and swoop down upon the state
just as she IS experiencing a boom
in immigration. The state has
many advantages and is not an un-
desirable place for residence, bar
ing the severe and almost unendur-
able storms that sweep over it at
times during the winter. That Of
Saturday and the first of the week
was very severe and aside from the
loss Of life reports place the loss of
stock at from 20 to 80 per cent.

WILL THE STATE EXHIBIT,

THE appointment of commits
sion by Governor Hunt for the pur-
pose of making preliminary ar
engagements to have the state prop
erly represented at the St. Louis
exposition, is timely and the com
missioners may succeed in arrang-
ing for a credita5le exhibit OF
our resources and productions ii
they will 60 at thu matter in a
business manner. It will be too
late to begin preparations after the
next legislature meets. This fact
was thoroughly demonstrated at
the Buffalo exposition, where a pile
of old junk was hustled together in
a few weeks and shipped there as
a sample of what Idaho produced.
Some parts Of the state were not
represented at all, yet we are of the
opinion that this did not amount to
a loss. Persons who visited the
exposition have informed us that
they were actually ashamed of the
showing, Those who had charge
OF the matter were not to. blame, as
they did not have time to collect an
exhibit, and the same conditions
would exist in. regard to the St.
Louis exhibit were action postponed
until the legislature meets.

by right of the survival of the fittest.'
In recent times new style of journalism
has sprung up. 1t has been styled yellow
Journalism, but seems to display all the
loud colorS of the rainbow with it's red
green and blue inks; it's crazy-quilt patch
work of gaudy pictures of freak-show mon
strosities; its higglety -pigglety arrangement
of news matter in all styles and sizes of
type, inclosed in boxed compartments and
with every possible fantasticism of array
calculated to catch the eye and distract the
brain of the reader. For time this lurd
hySterical kind of journalism seemed to
carry everything before it, and to threaten
to overwhelm and teetotally wipe out all
the matter-of-fact newspaper workers in
the field; but as the smoke of battle lifts
it is seen that the sane, conservative jour
mails still hold the fort. And they are not
likely to be dislodged. The reading world
is growing larger all the time, and the
Journalistic topsy -turveydom will always
have a big street sale and attract the at
tention of a large class of casual readers
But the clean, thoughtful, carefully edited
Star, that prints all the news worth print
ing with an orderly arrangement of
news, editorial and advertising matter so
CLASSIFIED that the reader can readily find
what he seeks, will always hold the conf
dence and enjoy the patronage of the great
mass of the sensible, practical. thinking
people of the community. And it will al
ways maintain its hold in the affections of
the family circle-in the homes of the peo-
pie.

people of the city. There We're the Seatons,

The leading statesmen of the period, in
Guiding The Great FTlumvirate' Clay,
Webster and Calhoun, all CHARTERED here.
Daniel Webster lived in his own house on
Louisiana avenue. near 9th street, next to
the Unitarian Church, row the Police
Court The Unitarian Church in those
days had much celebrity as the place where
Rev William E Charming, DIR. Dewey and
other famous dvines were heard
John c. Calhoun staid at Mrs. Reads
boarding house, on street between AZ
and 9th streets.
Henry Clay for many years, and until
his death, occupied rooms the street
side of the National Hotel.
President Buchanan, prior to his inaugu-
ration, had rooms in the National on G
street
1t was at this time that the mysterious
National Hotel disease occurred, when
Buchanan, with many others, was taken
sick and several died. 1t was charged at
first that attempt had been made to
poison Buchanan, but it was decided finally
that the sickness came from defective sew
erage.
Thomas H. Benton lived for many years
in his spacious house on c street between
81 and Az streets
In the fifties Edwin NJ. Stanton after
wards the great War Secretary, came to
Washington and set up his law office on C
street between AZ and 9th streets.
Most of the bank presidents lived here,
including shrewd old G. c. Grammar, who
used to say, Fools build houses and G. c.
Grammar buys them
Nearly all the men who have served as
mayors of Washington have been residents
of this charmed circle: DIR. Blake Jos.
Gales, w. w. Seaton, Gen. r. C. Weight
man, Peter Force, John w Maury, Richard
Wallach, Walter Lenox. John r. Towers,
Sayles j. Bowen and NJ. G.. Emery
Richard Wallach, known affectionately as
Dick Walach, and his close friend, Wal
ter Lenox occupied bachelor quarters at
the corner of 9th street and Louisiana ave-
nue. until Wallach married the beautiful
Rose Brown.
In this neighborhood lived Franck Tay-

1873 and came to Washington in his early
youth. He was recognized as an authority
on books, and for many years collected the
libraries for the public departments Wash

station. He was man of strong character
and marked individuality. He carried out
some of his characteristic ideas in the ar
rangement of his book store He would
have no windows in his store front to dis
play fancy articles He said he had only
books for sale and they must be books
that are books He kept no stationery
pens, ink or paper; no periodicals news
papers bust of Walter Scott crowned
the doorway of his book store. From his
wide knowledge of books and literature
and his keen critical insight, his opinions
and advice were in much request Mr.. Tay-
lor died in Washington in July, 1873.
James C. MCGUIRE, one of the most genial
and kindly of men, lived on E street be-
tween 9th and It'll streets. He came to
Washington from Pennsylvania in 1882. In
