PRESS COMMENTS.

Talk abo1t cruelty in the Phil
ippines! Think of the cruelty of
muzzling Fred Funston, when he hasn't
said half what he wants to!-Albany
Argus.
The 'full dinner paiI' pretty
soon will contain hay. Meat, eggs and
butter are practically excluded from
it, little else that is DEMONSTRATING is
likely long to escape the trusts.-Buf-
folio Courier.
Here is a straw that the republic
an leaders will do well to hang on to
while they ponder. Representative
Babcock, of Wisconsin, has the enthu-
siastic support of his district for re-
nomination, yet he is the man who
wants the tariff removed from all
trust-made goods. The cause of the
people seems to be doing very well,
thank you.-Detroit Free Press.
There is almost nothing in the
way OF household supplies which has
not been made dearer by the protec-
ton afforded monopolies and legisla-
ton in favor of classes. The times
are supposed to be good, but the man
who keeps a family on $1,000 year
finds that it will go no farther than
$500 would a year ago, and its purchas-
ing capacity is steadily decreasing.
The trusts and the tariff are respon-
sible for this.-Buffalo Courier.
What has been accomplished
with Porto Rico can be accomplished in
yet larger and happier measures with
Cuba and the Philippines, if sane and
humane policies toward them are sub
stituted for present niggardliness and
~imperialistic oppression. The poll
cies championed by the democratic
party would speedily bring those
countries into like union and like hap
DIV conditions as now exist between the
states and Porto Rico.-Atlanta Con-
stitution.
Republican papers all over the
country have been advising the people
to curtail their Consumption of food
as method of fighting the trusts, but
what republican paper has urged the
republican congress to remove the tar
if on trust products? What repub-
lican paper has urged the administers
ton to enforce the federal antitrust
law In every district throughout the
United States wherever that law was
being violated Omaha World-Her-

and great-republican party leaders.
He was one of the most violent and
ultra professional reformers in the
country. He was the representative
of embodied, incarnate civil service
reform.
How has he appeared in the grand
stage play of national reform? His
virtual removal of Pension Commits
sioner Evans and his appointment Of
Spokesman and Carpetbagger RET"
Clarkson to one of the most impor
tant New York Offices partially an
swer the question.
His numerous other removals and
appointments have the same sinister
significance. He is working for the
nomination in 1904 and is using the
spoils appointments of his Office to
accomplish that end. But he is not
an adept in spoils practice. He is an
impulsive blunderer. At every spoils
appointment his reform promises
and pretensions are thrown up at
him.
Sampson scandals are enough to
overburden any administration.
Roosevelt has adopted and followed
the COunSGl OF the weakest anu ulOSt
malignant army and navy cliques
that. ever infested the two depart
nients of the administration.
At the instance of his department
pets and of personal favorites he has
attempted to humiliate and degrade
the greatest living American soldier
and the greatest sailors who have
made illustrious the pages of ma
tional history. The brutality of his
methods in trying to accomplish
these objects have shocked the best
sentiments of the American people,
to whom their national heroes are
very. dea~.
The parting of the ways between
President Roosevelt and his party in
congress and in the country is not
very distant. He is reaching it in
shorter time than it was reached by
any other vice president called to the
presidency. He is censured by the
leading republican newspapers.
We may be sure that the phrase
s.his accidency'' viii soon be applied
to him as it was to Tyler, johnson
and Arthur before him.

BEEF TRUST AND POLITICS.
The Party in Power Forced to Move
Against an Infquity OF It's
Own Fostering.

Republican attorney generals at
Washington and Albany have begun
proceedings against the beef COM
bine under the antitrust laws.
This is recognition by the repre-
sentatives of the party in power that
ga meatless dinner pair' would be a
fatal campaign slogan, and that it
cannot afford to stand for a non-en-
forcement of the law against mo-
nopolies, says the New York World.
So much has persistent publicity,
the greatest moral force in the uni
verse, done toward checking this
most nefarious conspiracy to monop-
Ollie and enhance to extortionate
prices the whole meat supply of the
country.
Moved by similar impulse, the
democrats in congress have united
solidly in favor of the repeal of the
duties on cattle and meat.
They accept and act upon the
Worlds suggestion that 1.-The obvious
and natural remedy for scarcity of
meat, whether actual or artificial, is
to increase the supply" And one
way of increasing the supply is to
take down the tariff bars that now
enhance the cost of beef cattle 271s
per cent. and the cost of fresh meat
two cents a pound.
In taking this position the demo
Gratis are not only true to the tradi-
tional principles of their party,
which are opposed to all tariffs for
monopoly only, but they put them
selves on record in favor of meas
ure of immediate and lasting relief

of the power of taxation.
