WAKEFIELD AND JONES.

The con test between Hon.
Edwin Warfield and Col. Spen-
Ger c. Jones for the Democra-
tic nomination for Governor
seems to be on i'm earnest. The
MESSENGER has already printed
the announcements of Mr..
Warfield on the subject. Col.
Jones in an interview in the
American said:
lit is a great honor to be
governor of Maryland, and af-
ter thinking it over | concluded
tn 1T this was about the right
tire for me to make a try for
the gubernatorial Office. Then,
a number of complementary
friends in all parts of the state
asked me to become a candi-
date, and | responded to their
request. announced myself a
4 candidate without consulting
anybody active in politics, and
now | propose to go into the
primary fight. My candidacy
is my own, but do not hesitate
to say that | would like the sup
port of all classes of Democra-
tic voters.
Ny candidacy is sincere and
honest. | am not trying to club
anybody into anything | have
known Mr.. Warfield nearly all
my life, and | esteem him high
ly. This is an honorable con
test between us, and so far as
am concerned | am not in any
deal or combination with any
body or for any purpose what
soever, not even to advance my
own interests for my candidacy
is before the people upon its
merits alone, standing square
ly upon that basis, and upon
nothing else"

LET us see what kind of
fights the President has been
making against the criminal
trusts of the country and in the
interest of the "plain people, :
about which his touters are SO
loudly prating at present. The
Presidents reputation as a
trust smasher rests largely on
two court decisions obtained
last year. The Beef Trust was
enjoined by the courts and the
Northern Securities Co., a rail
road combination, was declared
illegal i'm the United States
Circuit Court. In neither case
can any benefit to the plain
people" be detected, even by
the aid of the most powerful
microscope. Both of these
trusts are continuing to fix
prices and rates that the people
must pay, and it may be said
right here, that no decision un-
der the Sherman law has re-
suited in permanent benefit to
the people. The net result has
been that the trusts have
changed their form but not
their substance. No court de-
cision has permanently lowered
prices or rates, or taken the
hands of the trusts out of the
pockets of the people. Nor is it
probable that court decisions
will ever remedy the evils OF
trusts while we have high
tariffs and other special privi-
leges which give monopolies
powers and encourage combina-
tons and trusts. We must
somehow overcome these mono.
ly privileges before we can hope
to get rid of the evils of the
trusts. But the President has
set his face against any change
in the trust-fattening tariff
He even stopped off, on his re,
cent stumping tour, to help
strangle the poor little "Iowa
idea which feebly declared
that tariffs which shelter trusts
should come off. If people cal
this strenuous trust busting
they are easily satisfied.

THE President has named
Soup House Charley Jerome
Bonapart to prosecute the Post
office department grafters. The
President evidently knows his
man and the grafters are no
doubt pleased, for the Hon.
Soup House never was known
to prosecute a Republican. He
is only after the prosecution of
Democrats. He is one of those
civil service reformers who be-
lieve in the Republicans getting

REPUBLICANS SCARED.

There is no doubt that Presi-
dent Roosevelt and the great
muck-a-mucks of the Republi-
can party, from Marcus Azure
lias Hanna to Hiram Watty are
very much disturbed over the
revelations of crooked doings
in the Postal service. 1t has
been shown conclusively that
the graft game has been played
to the limit by appointees of
President Roosevelt as well as
by President Mckinley.
The editors of the MESSENGER
have been informed by Wash
ington officials that not only
has President Roosevelt, the
civil service reformer, surround
ed himself with men whose
regulations are those of the
ward heller variety, but his adj
ministration is the most parti-
Fan of any since the war of the
Rebellion. One gentleman who
has been in the Government
service since the administers
tion of President Grant says he
never before saw such n greedy
lot of partiZansas now occupy
the places and administer the
affairs of Government.
Talk about politicians, We
have one i'm the White House
who is evidently working every
old thing that will help him to
secure second term. There is
no doubt that the Postal
scandals are somewhat blast
ing his hopes, for the President
cannot but realize that the peo-
pie will hold him responsible
for the wrong doings of his adj
min stration that have come to
lighG, and feel that there is more
