From the Idaho Leader, Democratic:
That Senator Dubois is an able and
astute politician, his political career
gives ample evidence, but 1t would
seem that in this self assumed battle
with the Mormons that he has for once
overstepped the mark and is permit
ting, perhaps prejudice, to overcome
his best judgment. 1t is our opinion
that a gubernatorial candidate, no mat
ter what his personal popularity might
be, making a race on this issue would
find himself in a very pitiable minority
when the votes were counted.

From the Pocatello Tribune:

From the Pocatello Tribune:
One of the most significant indica-
tions of the late election was the de-
cline of the socialistic vote. Even in
Massachusetts the socialists did not
maintain their strength. Their vote of
nearly 10000 the preceding election fell
off nearly 25 per cent and instead OF
the three members of the legislature
which they formerly possessed they
have been able to elect only one. This
showing will be regarded with relief by
the managers of both the great parties
1t apparently indicates that the SO
cialist vote which. If it had continued
to increase, would have been dscid-
edly dangerous factor, has begun to
disintegrate from natural causes.

Sordid New jersey.

Some years ago there was move
ment among the states for a kind of
antitrust legislation, more drastic
corporation laws, having to do chief
ly with fraud in overcapitalization.
At this time, New Jersey, far from
joining the movement, preceived that
its opportunity lay in the opposite
direction. and offered itself as an
asylum for corporations driven from
other places. AS a consequence, New
lame, blind and inflated corporations,
which hobbled there in droves
Since then the state has advertised
as good home for every kind and
condition of corporation and trust.
It's laws grant everything and re-
quire nothing. 1t has made of itself
a veritable picnic ground for cor
poration interests. Harboring every
variety of the illegal entity" it of
fers the same protection to fakes
that Morocco, without extradition
laws, does to the international tribe
of thieves.
Only two things, practically, are
required of the corporation-that it
acknowledges New Jersey as its home
and contribute to New Jerseys cof-
fers. With its residence hung on a
New Jersey peg the corporation or
the trust may do business wherever
it pleases.
Actual residence is not necessary.
There are lawyers in New Jersey who
make a business of procuring ''resi-
dences," holding mock meetings and
L.
ate boards that have never set foot
in the state. Tom. Dick and Harry
in, say Kalamazoo, deem it expedient
to cloak their operations with cor
porate form. They may incorporate

German as Leader.

| Even the republican press recog-
nizes that the democrats of the Uni
ted States senate have now an able
parlamentarian at their head. The
| Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune writes of his return
to the United States senate and of his
election to the post of democratic
leader:
Arthur Pue German has jumped
into his old place as leader of the
democracy in congress so easily so
naturally and so completely as to
give great significance to the event
| in the eyes of the onlookers of the
democratic camp. They say that
| they have been seeking for sign and
that Germans uncontested resump-
ton of the reins of authority is evil
dence enough to them that he has
come to stay and that he will be the
leader of the party in the nation as
well as in congress.
No one who knows him doubts SEN
atOr Germans political astuteness.
1t is almost Il byword. During the
| four years he has been out of the
senate the democratic party in the
upper house of congress has been de-
cidedly out at the elbows. 1t has
commanded the respect of no one,
has lacked cohesiveness, and has run
after all sorts of follies, and has been
exploited by little men.
There never has been time in the
history of the democratic side of the
chamber when the absence of leader
ship was so marked as during the in
terregnum of German. Instead of be-
ing discredited by losing his own
state he has returned to the senate
stronger than ever before
Germans friends find parallel be
tween his career and that of McKin-
ley. The martyred president was
fairly driven out of congress by
wave of popular opinion. similar to
that which endorsed German. McKin-
ley came back to sit at the head of
the council board in the White House,
and Germans friends believe he can
do much the same thing.
Little men like Joe Blackburn and
old men like Senator Cockrell. and
foolish men like Senator Bacon
thought they could be leader of the
democracy in the senate, but today's
caucus wiped them all off the slate.
and German became the uncontested
leader of the party in the senate,
both on the floor and in the caucus.
This condition of affairs can have
no other result except Germans pro-
motion in rank as a presidential can
didate. The ambitious senator's
were wholly unable to make stand
against him, and many seemed to see
in this the wave of party sentiment,
strictly within party lines, in behalf
of the Maryland senator. He occupies
a particularly fortunate position, be-
cause he has not been closely identi-
fed with either of the wings of the
democratic party.

Annoying MIR. Astor.

In England they seem to delight in
annoying the Mr.. Astor who threw
down his American citizenship to as
sGme the citizenship of Great Britain
which he imagined would be more
genteel.
But the English people have sub
jected him to all sorts of annoyances.
For instance, when he gave big so
cial functions, Englishmen were in
the habit of bringing friends with
them, friends who were not invited
and that without the formality of
asking permission. They thought it
Il good joke and said to each other
''he is only an American" The fact
| finally dawned upon Mr.. Aston that
the aristocracy OF his adopted coun-
try were guying him. He determined
to assert himself and so publicly
insulted Capt. Sir Archibald Berkeley
Milne, accusing him of having come
TO his house unlimited. Capt. Milne
made good his case by showing that
he had received a verbal invitation
| from Miss Aston. Then Mr.. Astor
apologized to him. The then princess
of Wales took up the social cudgels
for Capt. Milne and invited him to Il
box party at the theatre. The same
Capt. Milne has now been made com
mOdore of the royal yachts.
His American countrymen will not
even be sorry for Mr.. Aston, for Mr..
Astor said some mean things about
Americans about the time he thought
he would receive a more cordial well
come from the English aristocracy
He has received just about the treat
ment he is entitled to. 1t would not
be Il good thing for the world if the
naughty never bumped their heads
And it would be u bad thing for the
world if men who deserted their fell
low countrymen with the William
Astor spirit should find perfect con
tentment in other lands.

st. Louis VIII BE Busy.

The st. Louis people seem to have
demonstrated beyond peradventure
that disease germs or bacill from
Chicago will not only live to make
the trip through the drainage canal
and Illinois river to st. Louis. but
will actually grow fat and saucy like
an infant trust fed on the tariff, says
the Bloomington Bulletin. Over 200
barrels of harmless bacillus imported
from Europe and never before known
in American waters were secretly
dumped into the canal at Lamont and
later were taken from the hydrants
in St. Louis in fine condition. This
particular bacillus, while harmless to
the human family, is said to resemble
the typhoid fever germ, but to be not
so hale and hardy, hence the ST.
Louis people feel that they have prov
ed their case. AS a result of these
experiments Anheuser-Busch will no
doubt have to enlarge and GROWER
factories will run overtime.

"Don,t Touch the Tariff"

The demand from New England last
fall during the campaign for reel
procity with Canada was very strong.
Republican constituencies were insist
ent that the manufacturers and the
consumers should have free coal, free
lumber and many other articles at a
lower cost from the Dominion. Sena-
tor Lodge and the other defenders of
of the Dingley schedules said there
could be no treating with Canada
until the boundary question was dis
posed of. The boundary question has
now been removed from the field of
political controversy, and New Eng
land is already talking of reciprocity.
Other things have happened to dispel
the notion long carefully fostered
that there was something sacred
about the schedules. Congress has
put anthracite on the free list. has
suspended the duties on soft coal, and
the country still survives. The work
goes on. The house has passed bill
to so amend the Dingley act that ami
mails for breeding purposes shall be
admitted free of duty. and the Spring
field Republican remarks truly that
we are slowly, but surely. getting
away from the "don't-touch-the-ta
iff'' notion.

New Glass of Cruisers.

Work on the armed cruiser Colora-
do, which is destined to outrank any
thing in the cruiser line in the United
States navy, is being pushed with all
possible haste by the Cramps, and
unless there is an unexpected hitch
the vessel will be given its baptism in
the waters of the Delaware early in
the coming month.
The completion of the Colorado is
looked forward to with great inter-
est in naval circles, as the ship is the
first of a class practically new i'm the
American navy. Coupled with ire
mendous battery power. almost IL not
quite equal to that of the average
battleship of the first class, she will
have the speed of an ocean liner, and
it is doubtless not too much to eXpect
of her that should she sight the
smoke of almost any of the so-called
ocean greyhounds on the horizon at
sunrise she could bring them under
her guns by nightfall. She will have
a length of 5O2 feet, and to fulfill the
contract she must steam % knots for
four consecutive hours.

resolutions adopted q resolution recon-
mending the chartering Of vessels during
the year 1904 for carrying colonists TO

from which the colored race is said to
suffer, was adopted. An appropriation
Of 800, 600, 900 dollars was asked from
Congress, to be used for securing the
transportation Of members of the race
who desire to settle in Liberia. The
