The money question has ceased to be
paramount The new issue relates TO
what is popularity known as the
trusts" The trouble the republicans
are having with Cuban reciprocity is
the product of industrial combinations.
1t may be the. combinations have been
too strong factor in the control OF
legislation. II may be the republicans
have dallied too much with compro-
mise.
There was a whipping in the house
of representatives last Friday. A moro
thorough and general drubbing ought
not to be necessary. But 1t is to be con-
fessed that political parties as well a.
individuals learn with most expedition
under severe tribulation.
Tariff modification, as Gen. Grosven-
or has remarked is sure to come.

WHY ILL DRESSED HERO?
[Waterloo Courier.l
Congressman Cushman, of Washing
ton, who made himself famous the
country over in day by his open at
teck upon the despotic power given the
speaker and a few men in congress by
the rules now in force, is described by
q washington correspondent. He is said
t., be tall and gaunt, smooth shaven
with sunken cheeks and high cheek
homes. He wears a long. ill-httlns
frock coat that magnities his height
angular frame and slimness. In speak
ing he freely uses his long arms to en-
{, Washington correspondent. He is sale
bear q personal likeness to Lincoln IN
the latter's younger days. We knew II
would come to this. Every tell and
gaunt man resembles Lincoln. That is
not so bad, but why, when a man OF
that build jumps into notoliety. should
he always be described as wearing
awkward, Hitting clothes? A con-
gresham can certainly afford to pat
ronize a taller, and We believe the SCI
ence of tailoring of the day fits the
thin, attenuated form as readily as the
rotund and plump shape. Let the cor
RESPONDENTS reform, and for while al
least have their heroes wear clothing
which fits them.
SHIP TRUST KILLS SHIP SUBSIDY
[Des Moines Register.] :.
The announcement that j. Pierpon'
Morgan has practically completed
plans to combine all the leading trans
Atlantic steamship lines comes just IN
time to make certain that the United
States will not pay subsidies to ships
as long as they are controlled and OPP
Grated by the richest capitalists on the
earth The ship subsidy bin passed
the American senate on the 18th of las,
month, by vote of 40 to 81, with the
republican senators of Iowa, Wisconsin
and Vermont voting against 1t; and II
was at that time conceded that the bill
would be defeated in the house If the
representatives of those three states
voted against the bill. Last Saturday
Mr.. George ". Perkins, a member OF
the firm of y. P. Morgan g. Co.-the
greatest trust promoting firm on the
earth-publicly stated that American
interests will dominate the proposed
CHARACTERIZATION of the trans Atlantic
t'steamship lines. and the result will
prove a great triumph for Mr.. Nor
gan, but will make the United States
the real ruler of the merchant marine
"of the world and he added: Let i,
IL De ooIic III iiiiiia lutt Soiiei VI Wy tiie
company will be held here"-that is BY
j. P. Morgar& Co. Those admissions
and the otnar facts stated. make GER
tain that the steamship combination
he's killed the pending ship subsidy bill
in the American congress, and thai
there is no possibility of any ship sub
sidy being enacted into law as long as
the trans Atlantic steamship combina.
ton is in existence.
