Roosevelt and the Trusts.

President Roosevelt and Attorney General
Knox, dispatches tell us, are much interested
in curbing trusts which are raising the price OF
necessities, and exacting unusual and exorbi-
tant profits. II must be admitted that the
Presidents zeal is new born. He has been
President for nearly year, and during seven
months of that time, Congress, Republican
in both branches, was in session, but the
question of restraining trusts seems only to
have engaged Mr.. Roosevelt's attention since
Congress adiourned-since the law-making
branch of the government has departed from
the seat of government and an important cleo
ton is near at hand. And unique plan Mr..
Roosevelt has evolved to restrain trusts, is to
have their affairs made public-to have trusts
report their stock and trade operations. but
let them continue to fleece the public. By
court processes the Steel Trust has laid its
affairs before the people, butt is still in bust
ness. That would be the way with the Beef
and other trusts-make public statement OF
their affairs, but continue to fatten off the
people.

The Second Congressional District.

& T..
There appeared in the Baltimore Sun of
Tuesday communication on the Democratic
situation in the Second Congressional district.
Or rather it referred to the perennial candi-
dacy of j. Fred C. Talbot. The commu-
nicatiou is reproduced in the ADVOCATE to-
day. The writer portrays the condition truth
fully, and gives the election figures to show
that the district is Democratic, but not when
Mr.. Talbot has been the Democratic nominee
10 recent years.
If Mr.. Talbot, as the ADVOCATE has more
than once remarked, could divest himself OF
his personal interest in the nomination for
Congress, confer honestly with his friends,
listen to the voice of the press and the people.
he would realize that a majority of the Demo-
Gratis do not want him. And if he persists in
his efforts TO obtain the nomination, and sue
ceeds, he may learn by an emphatic majority
cast for weak opponent that the Democrats
of the district have tired of him.
We can win with new and competent man.
To meet the demands of this widespread OPP
position to Mr.. Talbot the Democrats Of
Carroll will on Monday next endorse Charles
e. Fink for the nomination and choose dele
gates to present his name to the district nom
mating convention.
Mr.. Fink has not been brought forward to
antagonize Mr.. Talbot. The rather, he has
been brought forward in the interest of the
Democratic party. A new man is demanded
by large majority of the Democrats, who
will rally around new and able man, such
as Mr.. Fink, and elect him.
With Mr.. Talbot as the nominee sufi-
Gent number Of Democrats will decline to
vote as to jeopardize party success, and it was
with the idea of saving the district that Mr..
Fink has been brought forward. With him
as the nominee the district will be redeemed.
With Mr.. Talbot the contest at best will
be doubtful. With success this year, there
will be success in the counties of the district
next year, and it is well to look ahead to the
State and county elections next year.

The visit to the East Of Hon. William Jen-
nings Bryan, as productive of harmony caa-
not be said to be IA success. He declined to
attend the Tilden Club banquet few weeks
ago, which was intended to be harmony
gathering, and instead has come East ina carp
ing and critisizing humor. For the rank and fiie
of Democrats, who declined to follow him IN
1895 and 1900, he has no word of COM
ment: but he has no word of forgiveness
for Senator German and Ex-Gov. David B..
Hill, whom he severely criticised in an inter-
view in New York paper: he also sneered
at Elk President Cleveland. The latter, IN
bis letter to the Tilden Club, did not say any
thing conducive to harmony. In fact his two
campaigns against the Democratic president
ial candidate, one open and active and the
other passive, did not place him in position
to criticise those who differed with him nor to
offer advice.
II would seem that neither Mr.. Cleveland
nor Mr.. Bryan can now contribute anything
calculated to cement the Democratic party
into q soma mass. MI. OlcfCinLA . OPCh NhN
even fierce opposition to the regularly nomi-
mated Presidential ticket in 1896, when his
cabinet was sent about the country making
speeches against the platform, and his silence
in 1900, has made for him too many enemies
for him to advise in party matters. His pub
lie utterances on unity and party policy
at once beget resentment, and Mr.. Bryan's
warm feeling against prominent Democrats
make him equally impotent as promoter of
harmony.
The party is becoming solidifed every
where, and harmony and unity will prevail if
both Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Bryan will go
into retirement. Mr.. Bryan is not an issue,
neither is the free coinage of silver. Mr..
Cleveland is not an issue, neither is the gold
standard. The Democratic voters are now
considering trusts and tariff schedules, and
will be practically unit if Mr.. Bryan and
Mr.. Cleveland will not distract the party by
injecting their personal differences.
