RoOSEvELT'S VERSATILITY.
Hunts Trusts with the Same Strenu-
GUS Vigor with Which He Hunts
wild Animals-Nit!

1t is difficult to tell when to take the
republicans seriously. Many of them
display great ferocity to trusts before
A national election, but become quite
mild and pacific when congress is in
session and they have an opportunity
20 slay the much-hated octopus. Not
4 move was made against the trusts
Turing the last session of congress by
the republicans, but few days after
congress adjourned President Roose-
selt began to let loose his tongue,
which had before been tied, and to
lash the monsters numerically. Just
watch him make mincemeat of the
trusts when he and Littlefield get at
them next year! His experience hunt
ing mountain lions and decapitating
government clerks, with anti-admin-
istration views, will enable him to
make quick work once he can get at
these enemies of mankind.
But of course, if the trusts should
cough up the dough" in good shape
this fall-well, then, of course, don't
you know, while peace might not be
declared, an armistice might be ar
ranged with the trusts for year or
two. Patriotic trusts should not have
the life crushed out of them ruthless
ly. Keep your eye on our vacation
trust-hunting president!

TARIFF TAX COLLECTING.
An Example of the Beauties Of the
Republican Protective
System.

In the last report of the secretary
IF the treasury there is a statement
IN page IA, of customs and receipts
and expenditures, that shows the
amount received at each port of en-
Try and the number of persons en-
oloyed to collect it and the salary they
'eceived. The receipts at some of the
ports are SO absurdiy small that it is
wonder that Mr.. Shaw, our new re-
Former, in charge of the treasury, does
aots turn his attention to a reforma-
ton of this abuse instead of following
1is present principal occupat ton of per-
imbulating about on pleasure excur-
;ions at government expense.
The first place on the list that
strikes attention is Beaufort, N. c.,
where the expenses of the two en-
ployes of the government were ST.
494.54, while they collected only the
Paltry sum of $4.12. This shows that
every dollar collected cost the tax
payers $362.75. Bridgeton, N. j., did
not make quite as bad showing;
there the six employees of the govern
ment collected $sO.17 and their expense
account was $1,4s9.65. or $1S.5s expend-
ed for each dollar collected.
AT Natchez, Miss, the amount col
lected was five dollars and the collector
received $500. This lonesome colored
gentleman doubtless amused himself
by sitting on the landing and watch
ing the majestic Mississippi roll by,
with an occasional spell at fishing to
relieve the monotony. The New Hamp-
shire republican politicians evidently
were more powerful with the admins
tration, for they succeeded in en-
balming six of their clansmen in office
at Portsmouth, who collected $27s.36,
receiving $3,645.S1 for their laborious

FARCIcAL ATTACK ON TRUSTS.
The Admin istr TONS Antitrust
Bluff VIII Not Go with
the People.

Representative Griggs, chairman of
the democratic congressional commit
tee, loses no time in reminding the
republicans and President Roosevelt
how open to ridicule they will be
for suddenly discovering that there
is need of federal legislation against
trusts. Do they want to make the
campaign one huge joke? Or is their
antitrust demonstration merely a
passing feint? Mr.. Griggs puts the
case pungently. While actually in
session, with congress in their COM
plete control, the republicans did not
lift finger, did not even peep or
mutter, against the trusts, says the
New York Post. On the contrary,
they applied their fine brute major
ity to voting down every proposal of
the democrats really to do something
to restrain and punish the monopo-
lies. How, then, can it be taken as
other than pure farce, or the coolest
impudence, for the republicans to go
about the country declaring that it
is necessary to keep them in power
in order to curb the trusts? The
question will be thrown into Presi-
dent Roosevelt's face with every
speech he makes. He will be asked
to state whether the whole thing is
sham, whether he has flung himself
into the movement with the rash en-
thusiasm of youthful ignorance, or
whether he has maturely considered
it, and is in the fight to stay. Now
we beg to assure him again that the
only way in which he can make his
sincerity and determination entirely
clear in this business is frankly to
say that he stands ready to see the
tariff breastworks of the trusts lev
eled to the ground. If he does not
mean to fight as one beateth the air,
that is the blow he must be pre-
pared to deliver.

alton InAuences.

Government by Injunction by the
federal judges has been crying evil
for years, but the late injunction
granted by Judge Keller in the case of
the striking coal miners in West Vir-
ginia, in which he practically restraints
their brother miner from distributing
food and supplies to the starving min
ers in that state, is so barbarous a
proposition that it will defeat itself.
Public opinion is slow to anger and
loath to believe that the judges of the
United States courts are in league with
the coal corporations, but this sweep
ing injunction of Judge Keller, which
in effect says that these miners are to
be starved into submission to the
hard terms of grasping corporations
and that their wives and little ones are
to be judicially murdered, that the
coal bosses may get their pound of
flesh, will not be Endorsed by the
American people. There are only two
legal ways in which this judicial tool
of the coal corporation can be stayed
in his excuses. First by an appeal
to the supreme court, and secondly by
impeachment by the house of repre-
sentatives. Both long and tedious
proceedings and almost beyond the
power of the miners to bring about, I'M
less aided by the united protest of the
people of the United States. AS the
senate of the United States would be
the jury before whom the judges would
have to be tried it is important that
in voting for members of the legis-
lature in those states where United
States senators are to be elected that
only those should be selected who are
known to be free from corporation in
huence. For we have the word of SEN
ator Morgan that one-third of the SEN

The victory Of the rebels in the
capture of Barcelona, in Venezuela,
is bad blow for Dictator Castro
but the world will not regret it very
seriously. Castro is unpopular at
home and abroad, and the probability
is that his days as ruler are num-
bered. In the meantime the United
States is keeping a vigilant watch
over the interests of its citizens in
that part of the world. Under the
sway of such despots as Castro Vene-
zuela is an excellent place to keep
away from.

All existing railroad spans of over
500 feet have been built since 1870.
and probably more in America than
in all the rest of the world together,
and certainly these are much better
and cheaper and have been more rap
idly and safely constructed than
those of any other country. In q
word, American engineers have built
most of the greatest and most diff
cult bridges in the world and in less
than half century have developed
the art of bridge-building to a per-
lection that no other sort of con-
struction has reached.

The civil war in Hayti takes new
phase every few weeks, or a new
war begins. This is pretty nearly
the most discreditable of all the little
republics on this continent. Annex
alton to the United States would be
big boon to all Hayti's people ex-
cept her professional revolutionists.
They would oppose annexation, for
it would put them out of job. Hayti
can furnish to Cuba a fine lesson
regarding the things to avoid.
