pie" and says the people have. lost
confidence in him. Without waiting
for the future and judging him by his
acts in this regard, it undertakes
to discounts that time and solemnly
asks whether he will do anything in
the matter of the other trusts, admit.
ting that he Will be successful in his
efforts against the meat combine. and
asks the question in such a manner
as to express doubt on it's part that
he will.
The other oracle of the party of
fault-inders and walters is honest to
the extent of acknowledging that the
president has done something in the
direction of enforcing the laws enact
ed for the regulation of combinations
in the Industrial and commercial
fields. 1t also says that because of
this action OF his parth he has incurred
the enmity of some of the leaders of
the mergers and combines and that
they are breathing threats of slaugh-
ter and political ruin for Roosevelt
for daring to oppose them in their
schemes for possession of the wealth
Of the country and the power such
possession would give them. 1t also
makes another confession that must
be even more narrowing to its con-
temporary of like political faith. 1t
actually admits that it is not among
the impossibilities to see a man on
the democratic ticket as candidate
for the. presidency who is "a, merger
sort OF a man" and that the trusts
and combines a be depended upon
to work for his election, in case
Roosevelt is nominated by the repup-
licans, as it thinks he will be if he
but continues his present attitude and
so far as trusts are concern
1t declares that no matter what
the kings, emperors, barons and
others of the nobility Of the financial
world may say or do in opposition to
his nomination, the people will de-
mand his nomination, saying, ''once
get the story well started that Wall
street cliques are opposed to Roose-
velt, and if the public stays in it's
present temper until 1904, Roosevelt
will be nominated, sure"
Being in a laxative and conf
1ential mood, the newspaper quoted
says much more and admits that
projects and combinations of
Ill sorts between people of that kind
know no politics and will as readily
a democrat as a republican,
10 long as he is friendly to them and
he fellow on the other ticket is cp-
'osed to them and their ways. 1t
an see matters a little clearer and
more readily than it's contemporary
md is free to acknowledge that the
more the trusts and mergers oppose
Roosevelt the stronger he will be-
'ome entrenched in the affection of
he people something it does not like
verify well. But it is honest in it's
omission of facts.

CAPABLE OF GREAT DEEDS.

hundred million of dollars and more

recalls grimly Kruger's prophecy that
the conflict would "stagger human

that human nature is capable of great

upon which to fight a congressional
campaign. Bryan insists upon free
s~ilvereand opposition to trusts. Other
leaders propose the tariff and trusts
as issues. Under such conditions as
these they expect to carry the cleo
tons in November.
The" republicans occupy the field
against trusts and are moving intel
ligently against them. They are some-
what ait variance on the tariff, but
they are solid on the maintenance of
the public credit and other essential
national policies, and will give the
democrats all they want of a strong
fight for the new house., which, under
the new appointment, will contain 1856
members intsead of 357 as at present.
Several times the opposition has
won the house majority in the middle
of a presidential term, as was the case
in Harrison's and Cleveland's second
administration, and, in 1874, a demo-
cratic house was put in power for the
last half Of Grants last administra-
ton. There is no rule about such
breaks in control of the house. This
year the republicans need the strong
est solidarity and skill on the part
Of the congressional eomm4t ee. and
they will come out with triumph. The
party is engaged in too important
work for the country to be interrupted
by a party which doesn't know it's own

AMERICAN CAPITAL CONTROLS

st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Ninety
eight per cent of the 200 steamships
in the new trust are foreign built and,
it is stated, will remain so in order to
retain the foreign subsidies now paid.
1t is a curious fact that American
capital is predominant in such a ven
ture and the final results of the in
vestment cannot even be guessed.

A PRETTY STORY SPOILED.

Chicago Tribune: One cannot help
s%uspecting that a great many of the
witticisms attributed to distinguish
ed men would, if truth had a hearing,
reach the same final catastrophe in
which Admiral Dewey has involved
the one attributed to him in 1898.
why dlu you buy SO much coal?"
cabled Bradford. of the bureau of
equipment in Washington. ITO
burn" replied Dewey from his flag
ship Olympia at Manila. This was
the form the story took in it's rounds
through the press. Naturally, Brad
ford was annoyed. So, at last, was
Dewey. The story was not only un-
true but persistent. Error, crushed
to earth, will rise again. Finally,
there has been published a regent ex-
change of letters between the two
admirals which set the whole ques-
ton at rest forever. There is no
truth in the newspaper story" says
Dewey, mo such telegram having
passed between Admiral Bradford and
myself"

THE clTY's EYE SORES.

The apparent earnestness manifest
ed by the city council a few weeks
ago, when the subject incidentally
found it's way into the line Of discus
sion then going on, caused many per-
sons to think that something more
than mere talk would be done in the
matter of improving the appearance
of the little bare spots along the
Northern Pacific tracks that are call
ed parks for want of a better name.
But nothing more tangible than the
talk then heard has followed that
nights outbreak and it begins to look
as though the eye sores are to be per-
mitted to remain in all their hideous.
ness and ruin. Since then a few
more panels of what vas once. a fence
have tumbled down and the dogs have
scratched the surface in new places
and also increased the supply of bones
that find harbor there. Nature, ever
kindly disposed, has been making
brave effort to conceal the parched
and furrowed earth with a growth of
grass and struggling patches ofs al
falfa, but it is finding it a tough prop
osition and has almost become dis
couraged. The men who leaf about
the parks" are giving their assist
ance in the way of adding to the lit
ter and dirt, but as landscape
gardeners they are not a bowling sue
cess, for while they are aiding in COW
ering the ground the cover they CON
tribute is not of the kind calculated
to find favor with the esthetic. There
is tco much variety and not enough
regard for appearance in the sticks,
old newspapers, rags, old shoes and
tin a n they toss to weary, hard
worked nature as encouragement.
The old lady would appreciate more
the work of a a with a pillow and a
sackful Of grass seed and afterward
his contribution of the contents of a
.sprinkling cart, applied at intervals
and during the remainder of the sea
son. She probably also would not
raise a protest were still another man
to come around with a paint pot, some
nice, new pickets and a few other
articles of the kind, trifes in them
selves, but when properly merged and
applied productive Of a general re-
suit that could not be otherwise than
pleasing.
The parks" are a disgrace to the
city and a poor advertisement for a
town which prides itself OF its pro
gressiveness and enterprise. 1t is
doubtful whether the smallest, mort
bund hamlet on the entire line of the
great railroad passing through the
city would permit its poverty and de-
cay to be advertised in such a man
ner, and the best and most prosperous
city in eastern Montana certainly can
not allow the impression to prevail
that it's people do not care enough
for the appearance of their town to ex-
pend a few dollars in identifying and
improving the only public grounds it
possesses. Were the little %disgraces
somewhere in the suburbs it
would probably not make so much diff
ference, but being where they can be
seen by the passengers of every train
through the city they should
be taken care of.

NEW CENTURY EVOLUTION.

Indianapolis News: 1t is cheerful
Jews that comes from Chicago con-
corning certain railways. 1t is that
these roads have issued orders that
hereafter the rough handling of bag
gage will not be tolerated. Trunks
that are to be conveyed a consider
able distance must be placed on
truck and the truck must have a pad
of felt to prevent damage. There is
to be no throwing Of trunks on end
from a car, no humping them along
a platform from corner to corner
In short, trunks are to be handled
in a decent, common sense manner.
Thus passes another pioneer phase
and attribute of wild and woolly
A~mericanism. Undoubtedly other
roads will follow this good example.
