ANTITRUST CRUSADE.
Littlefield Not to Lead Administra-
ton Forces.

Washington Special to N. Y. Herald.
Letters from Representative Charles E.
Littlcfeld received by friends in Wash
the doubt and mystery surrounding the
Presidents so-calied antitrust crusade,
In which the Maine Representative Is
leading part in Congress
Mr.. L,ttlefeld has not been asked by
the President TO lead the admins tration
forces In Congress In a Rough Rider cru
sade against 8 eat combinations of capi-
tai. nor has he been asked to frame a bill
for the regulation and publicity Of trusts
to be known distinctly as an administra-
tion measure.
The plan. so far as any plan has been
formed, Is for the President TO repeat in
his next message his recommends tions In
regard to trusts, probably at greater
length and with more emphasis. Mr.. Lit
tlefeld will continue to urge the report
of his bills of last session in modified
form, or embody their provisions in one
| measure and introduce it early In Decem-
Der. Only to the extent that the admin
| istration Is anxious for more trust iegis-
| latien with Mr.. Littlefields bills be known
as administration measures.
Mr.. Lttlafield will aim to establish be-
| yond all question of doubt FEDERAL con-
| troll of all corporations engaged In COM
| merce between the States ana to broaden
| the scope of the Sherman antitrust law.

This is the season when we hear men

find that physical and mental energy has
deserted them. and they are sinking
deeply in the pit Of dependency.
The hot summer weather always pro:

hut we are slow to believe anything Of
the kind. We do not believe that the
Democrats of the white counties can be
so unjust or so ungrateful. for 1t would
be both II they should turn their backs
on the friend of the Constitution and
support the candidate of the maleon-
tents.
1t has been charged that under the old
convention system the Democrats Of the
black belt had power and influence out
of all proportion 10 their actual voting
strength. Suppose we admit 1t, how was
II used? Let the numerous State officials
from the white counties answer. These
black belt Democrats helped to nominate
ana elect Lindsay, Houston. Cobb. o'Neal,
Oates and Johnston Governors, all resi-
dAnt outside OF the black belt. OF other
state officers no one can rightfully claim
that the white counties have not had
their full share. The black belt assisted
to nominate them and in some cases, at
least, the ticket could not have been elect
ed without the solid support OF the black
belt. That portion of the State saved the
ticket more than once.
These are matters of history. The
black belt has voluntarily relinquished
that power and can no longer dominate
conventions or send up huge majorities
for the ticket. VIII the white counties
be less fair and just than the others
have been in the times past? Governor
felix's is the representative of the Democ-
raey Of Alabama. He is the representa-
tive of the new Constitution under which
the black belt has been shorn of it's pow
er, and the Democrats of the white coun-
ties will show themselves ungrateful If
they fail to stand up to him Leaving all
other considerations out theywhite coun-
ties should stand up to the candidate
who favored the new Constitution.

Wisconsin Democrats.

Chicago Chronicle.
The La Folletteites in Wisconsin were
not satisfied with the over whelming de-
feat which they administered to the
"stalwarts." but they rubbed It In"
vigorously in their speeches of gratuia-
ton over their victory. La Toilette him
self in his speech Of acceptance led the
process of applying salt. pepper, vinegar
and other irritants to the sores of the de-
feated faction.
Under these circumstances it is not
probable that the ''stalwarts" will give
the La Toilette ticket an enthusiastic
support. There will be no open bolt,
but there will be still movement which
will cause a loss of thousands of votes
perhaps tens of thousands-to the Repub-
lican ticket. ....,-....

cowes. England, Special to New York
World.
The extraordinary. unprecedented pre-
cautions taken to prevent anybody
aboard the royal yacht Victoria and AL
bert having any COMMUNICATION with the
shore continue to excite grave apPTenen-
sion here as to King Edwards condition.
Shore leave has been absolutely stopped
to all on the vessel.
Ships stores are ordered in writing ana
taken aboard under the supervision of
having conversation with anybody.
All craft are kept away from the royal
yacht by patrol boats.
Nevertheless, 1t has leaked out that
the Kings appearance has terribly alter
ed, that he still Is suffering severely from
the wound. which is exceptionally large,
and that so far he has been unable to
stir-being tightly bandaged up-much
less put on any clothes.
The fixing OF the date of the coronation
for August 8 under these circumstances Is
regarded as inexplicable rashness.
IL Is further stated that Lord Kitchener
has not seen the King, but merely re-
ceived in Buckingham Palace message 3
from the sick room.
The Prince and Princess of Wales and
others have resumed their usual rounds
of social engagements but Queen Alexan-
dra has not attended any parties.
King Edwards determination to be
crowned Immediately Is due mainly to the
fact that il he should die uncrowned
Queen Alexandras claim to jointure
from the State would be injurlously af-
fected.
The World correspondent learns that tbs
King is having constructed for his use al
the coronation a chair-.which can be
carried by eight bearers-similar to the
one in which the Pope is borne in pro.
cession in st. Peters at Rome.
Grave doubts still exist as to whether he
can bear the coronation robes as soon
as the 9th of August as his wound mus
still be painful
The impression is very strong that he
cannot possibly be crowned at SO early q
date. ;e

Strong for Him.

A hundred thousand DISTINGUISHED ne
groes are strong for Johnston, Not the
Johnston of 1896. who was willing and
anxious to eliminate them from politics,
but the Johnston of 1902, who opposes the
new Constitution because it was framed
by men who did not wear Joe Johnston's
collar.-Mobile Herald.
Johnston should get up a primary of his
own and let all of 'em vote. That is the
only chance he has to get a large vote,
and it wouldn't be the first time he has
set the Democratic Party at defiance and
substituted his own interests.
