THE ULTIMATE OF TRUSTS.

The assertion may be ventured here that in all probability congress failed to do much regarding an ti-trust legislation, although appropriation may have been made for the purpose of dcraying the costs of bringing suits against the trusts The truth of the matter is that to very many members of both houses of congress the trust question is extremely sensi- tive one principally for the that they in. crested in the continuance of trusts their po- sitions to trust influence Therefore it takes con- gressman a senator of nerve to stand up and lay rude and violent hands his maker and benefactor. It has been distinctly noticeable that members of congress, taken a whole have gone wandering and noundering about in of rhetoric and in floods of evasion when they started in to deliver themselves on the trust question. They know that the great ma or- ity of the people opposed to the trusts and the system which makes them possible but they fear the trusts because they, themselves fear the loss of pol
 cal power and prestige The present congress there fore, do not believe, has done much toward the abatement of the trust nuisance if such 1t is not withstandng President Roosevelts attitude thereon and his recommendations in regard to it. The fifty eighth may possibly grapple with the trust devil-ish, if such is for it has been character ized, and endeavor to hit it the sconce but this, too, may be doubted By the time that the fifty ninth congress assemblies, the trust question will either have resolved itself, the people will cry to Heaven even for it's extinction

PROMPT ACTION NEEDED.

The report of the trouble the Shunnak, as pul-
 shed in the last issue of this paper to call for prompt action the part of the local federal author
 ties. The trouble seems to be of serious ma ure. It makes difference which of the contending parties is in the right the display of armed force and the shooting at antagonist is reprehensible in the highest degree. There is United States comms- sioner recorder deputy marsha! on the Shun nak, the gentleman who to be discharging the functions of recorder, Mir. Debus, having been re- moved from office last September. Dehus was ap- pointed to the Reid river district in the fall of 1900 but not having made report or even having been heard from, his appointment revoked and his district added to Mt. Kelly district, of which L. c. Pease is the commissioner and recorder. Mr. Pease is the outside, but it is understood that his deputy Mir. c. H. Frost, who has his headquarters at Cape Blossom will be temporarily appointed con,mis- soner and recorder and directed to proceed to the Shunnak
 Beyond the shadow of doubt there will be an almost interminable mix up of the records of that section and especially will this be should the district prove to be rich There promises, moreover to be abundant crop of lawsuits the possession of mining claims and the development that section it is feared will be seriously retarded.

A GOOD MAN WHO LIED.

The Philadelphia Ledger tells story of good who, at the age of A. experienced great difficulty
 in getting employment, says exchange. His rec ord all that could be desired, but the business firms to which he applied were not inclined to take new man of that age. The good man finally resorted to deception. He made up" to look young and gave his age to tho next firm to which he applied, 34 Three years passed, during which he had three pro- motions to his credit. At the expiration of three years the firm offered to admit him as a partner. There arose in his mind the question whether he ought at the age of 50 years accept offer made in the supposition that he B. The question of age again came up, and without much reflection he re- peated the former deception. In discussing the ques ton of justification the Ledger says that "le cannot be excused to obtain employment and support fam
 y or theft to allay the bangs of hunger" On this point the Ledger takes issue with the Rev. Dr. Park
 hurst, who recently declared that man should starve while bread was within his reach. Mir. Park hurst took practical view of the question under consideration. From which course, he asks himself, would the greatest good come? loaf of bread might save valuable life and it's loss would cause no suffering. The Ledger says on the other hand Few of capable of martyrdom for the sake of moral
 aw but the moral code teaches that lying and steal

The Venezuelan question is to be submitted to the Hague conference for peaceful djustment.

Proud, impetuous sapsrcilious, he strives to keep alive the of the grandees from whom he sprung. He despses theft, but repudates debts. He will not pick your pocket but he will cheat you at cards. He puts no bride his imagination and nothing better illusra es his character than this conduct of his president in the face of imminent danger.

MARCONI AND HIS TELEGRAPH.

The fact that Signor Marconi has successfully transmitted messages the Atlantic by his sys- lem of wireless tesgraphy promises to have an i'm portant bearing in many lines of human endeavor. Marconi is quoted saying that the cost of trans hitting messages will probably not exceed one cent word. This will be astounding reduction and will revoutionize the telegraphic cable business of the world. entirely successful, that is to say, if the system is commercially valuable it will mean death to the great telegraph corporations which now control the cable lines, for these will find their bus iness gone. They will not be able to compete with the natural cable lines made manifest by Marconi's discovery.
 That the ocean cable magnates are disturbed at the progress being made by Marconi is evident. Only eently one of the directors of the Commercial Cable company of New York expressed some concern in a public uttersnce but he sought to comfort himself snd associates by saying that the wireless system coald never be commercially valuable because it soeN not be depended upon, It may be 50.
