New Buster of Trusts.

Senator Hanna having failed with
his Civic Federation annex to adjust
the coal strike and President Roose-
velt having pocketed the report of
Commissioner of Labor Wright. which
was heralded as giving the inside facts
about the coal trust, so that it would
seem that the president is not anxious
to put any more labor on the over
worked attorney general the coal
strike is still in full blast. But now
comes Brother Quay, who is stated to
be very pleased to undertake what
Hanna and Roosevelt have failed to ac-
complish. and being such a noted trust
hunter he may accomplish it. Brother
Quay, like his. enemy Hanna, hunts the
trusts to their lair to fry the fat out
of them, and it may be cheaper for the
coal trusts to stop the strike than to
put up" for the Pennsylvania cam
paign fund. It is about time for Broth
err Hanna to make another effort or

POINTS AND OPINIONS.

Republican senators and con-
gressmen are too late in learning that
the American people demand revi-
sion of the tariff. The record of the
Fifty-seventh congress in it's first ses-
sion makes it certain that the task of
tariff revision will be intrusted to the
democratic party.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.
ENDORSING republicanism is not
indorsing tariff revision or reciprocity
with Cuba. The republican party is
too close a prisoner of the trusts sue
cessfully to approach either of these
subjects. A democratic majority in
the next house of Representatives is
the surest guaranty of both reciproc-
ity with Cuba and a proper revision
of the tariff.-Utica Observer.
Republican leaders are more con-
cerned over national affairs now than
they had been in some years. So long
as the democrats manifested indiffer-
ence to the tariff there was no danger,
but now that tariff reform and the
regulation of trusts are being forced
to the front the democratic party
looks formidable once more.-Kansas
City Star.
One of the workings of the
present tariff that is not perhaps I'M
derstood by the American consumer
is the rebate that is allowed our
manufacturers for goods exported,
thus: An American wool manufac-
turer must pay an exorbitant duty
on wool. Of course, he adds this to
his price of carpets and cloth and
the American consumer pays it. But
if the manufacturer exports his car
pets and cloth the gov .rnment re-
funds to him the duty that he has
paid on the wool that goes into
those goods. Thus the tariff dis
eliminates in the case of foreign
purchasers against our OWL people.

REVISION OF THE TARIFF.
pub1icans No End of Worry
and Trouble.

The question of a revision of the
tariff is causing considerable anxiety
to the republican leaders. The speech
of Representative Grosvenor at the
convention which nominated him
was on both sides of the question.
He favored revision of the tariff
when the proper time" came, and,
of course, only Grosvenor and the
republican party were capable of I'M
dertaking the revising. The Wash
ington correspondent of the Boston
Transcript, a sturdy republican news
paper, says of this:
Mr.. Grosvenor did not say when the
proper time for tariff revision would ar
rive, but it is well known that he fully
agrees with the other republican leaders
of the house that there probably will be
no revision in which the house which is to
be elected this fall will share. When,
therefore, republican politicians commend
Mr.. Grosvenor's remarks, they mean that
the men who rule the republican party
have not the slightest intention that the
tariff shall be disturbed until they are
compelled to revise 1t.
Nobody here regards with any serious
ness the recent declarations of Senator
Cullom, Representative Tawney and other
republican members of congress N favor
of tariff reform. There are others who say
the republican tariff reformerS' do not
wish to be taken seriously by anybody
outside their constituencies. They are
tarin reformers of the Babcock variety,
but whether they are sincere or not, there
Is not the slightest reason apparent to
Washington politicians for expecting that
any considerable movement for tariff re-
vision will be developed in the republican
party next winter. Secretary Shaw, for
example, thinks the republicans of Iowa
should not have made the declarations
which embarrass the party at large. He
says they knew quite as we'll as he that
the tariff is going to stay put for several
years to come, unless the republicans get
tremendously shaken up in the fall cleo
tions, and in that way scared into making
some revisions."
The tariff protected trusts evil
IDENTIFY have too firm grasp on the
leaders of the republican party to
permit any of the tariff subsidy they
are now receiving to be disturbed.
This is the attitude of the leaders.
But what of the people who pay the
tax? Will they vote for members of
congress or for members of the
legislatures, who will select one
third of the members of the United
States senate at the election this
Iall, VINO Will continue the tar1H tax on
trust productions.
The opportunity to turn down the
politicians, who secretly, if not open
ly, favor the tariff subsidy to the
trusts is in the hands of the voters.
They can enforce the Hanna-Gros-
venor plan of letting well enough
alone or they can vote for those
who are pledged to lift the tariff
burden of double prices on many of
the necessaries of life which the
Getting well enough alone" pro-
gramme compels them to pay. In
deciding this question, it is well to
| remember that the trusts are now
selling their productions in this
country for nearly double what they
sell them for in other countries.

Hundreds of horses and tbousond,

Hundreds of horses and thousands
of cattle in the Hawaiian islands
never take drink of water. They
live on the upper attitudes of the
mountains, where the cattle run wild
from the time they are born until
they are sent to the slaughter house
Except possibly for two or three
months in the rainy season there are
no streams or pools of water in any
part where the cattle roam, but
everywhere there grows a recumbent
jointed grass, known by the natives
by the name of MAMMA. This is
both food and drink.

Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish gave a ball
at Newport which cost $4,000. The
sum does not seem extravagant since
the Bradley-Martin ball cost $25O,0OO,
and there is reason to congratulate
Mrs. Fish on the economy exhibited
in limiting expenditures to a trifiing
$4,000. The most notabSe feature of
the dance was that, being colonial,
the guests were required to appear
in the costumes of 1889, and all the
men invited were requested to shave
off their mustaches. This was so OBJ
jectionable to many of them that
they stayed away.

The Massachusetts bureau of sta
tistics has been investigating the cost
of living with particular application
to men of small incomes and reaches
the conclusion, reached by other in
vestigations. that in spite of our
prosperous times the average man is
not as well off as he has been. A
great majority of the families of
Massachusetts,, the bureau says, have
an average income of less than $1,000
year. Investigating the average
yearly expenditure of a representa-
tive family with such an income il
finds it amounting to $797.

recent assertion in Chicago that cell

of this year 1857 bachelors were ar

only 1,94S were married. Evidently
the thing to do is to compel people

by ightning.i All of the inmates were
more or less affected. One girl was
killed outright and another was SO
badly burned that she died a few

ago the family went to the celebra-
ton at Downs, leaving one of the
daughters at home. The girl re-
manned behind because she had no
suitable dress to wear. When the
family returned they found her hang

water will be saved for irrigation.
The government is contemplating
huge canals and reservoirs but until
the rivers are tested little can be
known of the necessary capacity of
the intended reservoirs. Kansas has
IL stations.
