CLOSED ON SUNDAY.

1t is rather remarkable discovery
that was made some days ago in con-
nection with the national appropriation
for the ST Louis exposition. That
discovery was that as condition
precedent to the allowance of that ap-
preparation, the directors of the ex
position should agree to close the
gates of that institution to visitors on
Sundays during the entire life of the
fair
There could be no more absolute re-
quirement established in any iirec-
tiun According to law, the general
public must not be allowed to look at
objects of art which may be presented
to them through the st. Louis exposi-
tion on Sunday, nor indeed must they
be allowed even to visit the grounds of
the Exposition on the Sabbath. In
order to enforce this extraordinary
requirement, compliance with it was
made necessary before a dollar of the
national funds could be made avail
able. 1t would be difficult to say
which is the more surprising circum-
stance. that such prerequisite should
ever be made necessary, or that the
promoters of the st. Louis exposition,
to be carried on in a cosmopolitan
American city, should ever have con-
sented to accept any such requirement.
OF that any such requirement should
have been inserted in the appropria-
tion act without their knowledge.
/ Grass ignorance and intolerance must
be at the base of such a requirement.
But it is there, and the comptroller OF
the treasury very properly decided that
until it was put in force the salaries
and expenses of the commission
having it in charge could not be paid.
The fact that money was paid up to
given period without reference to this
provision would seem to indicate that
its existence was not generally known
to those who voted for the appropria-
,,tion in Congress. What effect the discov-

Tres That Karat Aanme.

Trees are subject to spontaneous
combustion. The banks of the Cam
Vfver, In Cambridgeshire, England,
have recently exhibited an unusual
number of such cases, and young grow
ing willows have been the victims In
pride itself upon it's beautiful willows.
and 1t was therefore with sorrow that
the people discovered one morning the
charred remains Of what had once been
n really beautiful specimen Cf the viii
low tree.
The fate OF the tree naturally at
tracted attention TO the phenomenon,
and thereafter but 100 much oppor
tunity Was afforded for the study
Of 1t. At one point in the riI or in par.
tIcular the process was seen. Green
trees, covered with rich masses Of
foliage. suddenly burst forth into con.
fagration and burned to their very
cores Fine willows in full ricor pour
~ forth clouds of smoke from their
half burned stems.
An examination OF the charred re
mains of the trees revealed nothing IN
the way of explanation. but as the
trees which met their fates were for
the most part young there could hardly
have been any putrescence or fermen.

REPUBLICAN, PROMISES.

1t is not surprising that Tom l..
johnson, who is not only sincere but
intensely practical should be disposed
to grow indignant at the f1ippant
assurance of President Roosevelt in
announcing that he contemplates get
ting somebody to formulate some sort
OF legislation for the suppression of
trusts. But Mr.. Johnson does not do
the subject justice when he says that
the Republican party has done nothing
In six years. St has been talking
and promising great deal longer than
that In 1888 the Republicans said in
their national platform:
We declare our opposition to all
combinations of capital organized in
trusts or otherwise to control arbitrarily
the condition of trade among our citi-
Zens, and We recommend to Congress
and State legislatures in their re-
spective jurisdictions such legislation
as Will prevent the execution of all
schemes to oppress the people by un-
due charges on their supplies, or by
unjust rates for the transportation OF
their products to market. We ap-
prove the legislation by Congress to
prevent alike unjust burdens and un-
fair DETERMINATIONS between States.

dent Roosevelt says now, for 1t is also

guage:
We reafiirm our opposition, declared
in the Republican platform of 1888, TO
all combinations of capital organized,
in trust or otherwise, to control arbi-
trarily the condition of trade among
our citizens. We Heartily indorse the
action already taken upon this subject,
and ask for such further legislation as
may be required to remedy any defects
in existing laws. and to render their
enforcement more complete and ef-
fective.
In 1896 the Republican party was de-
sirous Of the support Of the trusts, and
got it. It therefore carefully omitted
any reflections on them. or any pledges
to correct trust evils. In 1900 the evils
had become so gross and intolerable
that 1t was necessary to speak. and the
Republican platform said:
We recognize the necessity and pro
priety of the honest cooperation of
capital to meet new business cOndi-
tions. and especially to extend onr
rapidly increasing foreign trade, but
we condemn all conspiracies and com
binations intended TO restrict business,
to create monopolies, to limit produc-
tlcn. or to control prices, and favor
such legislation as will effectively re-
strslr and prevent all such abuses, pro-
teri and promote competition, and So
cure the rights of producers. laborers
and all who are engaged in industry
and commerce.
II will be noted that there Is dis
tiEct hedge" in this declaration, but
still it is a pledge, and If honestly
kept would have produced some legis-

promises. and only one-man promises
