GROWING Demand for Free Trade.

Not for years has there been as
much free trade-not tariff reform,
but radical free trade-talk. both In
and out of Washington, as during the
last four months. Hundreds OF news
papers are demanding that coal, beef,
steel, hides and numerous other trust
products be put on the free list. The
tariff tax now has more enemies In
Boston than the tea tax had when Bos'
toms famous tea party" was in ses.
sion. The free trade mummy is SO
much alive that it is creating conster'
nation in Republican ranks. 1t will
break all of their old protection ideals
and bric-a-brac fetiches If the Repub'
licans try to keep it in their museum
of antiquities.

In Partnership With Privilege.

Stubborn facts have established the
belief in the most unprecedented minds
that the trust interest is the side part
ner of the party in power. 1t will, OF
course, be easy enough to jam an anti
trust bill through the House, but when
it gets into the Senate it will be just
as far from enactment as was the
house bill that was sent there during
the first session of the fifty-sixth Con
gress in the spring of 1900. That bill
met its intended fate-death in the
Senate. Probabilities point to repe
tition of that farcetragedy.

SAYS Vows are Harmless.

Don't become excited at the threats
of antitrust legislation which our Re-
publican friends are making" says
Henry M. Teller, the Colorado senator.
"They don't mean anything by 1t.
It's just a bluff to fool the people.
Nothing that will injure their very
good friends will come of It," Then
the senator laughed as il he had told a
very funny joke.
Its all calculated to keep the PEG.
pie in a good mood. The people will
laugh to think how the trusts are
being worsted and the trusts will be
laughing to think how the people are
being fooled.

The Agreement Was Violated.

1t is to be presumed that Senator
Dolliver knew what he was talking
about when he said that the duties in
the Dingley tariff bill were purposely
made high that they might be reduced
in furtherance of reciprocity. But If
Dolliver is telling the truth why was
not the agreement-for there must
have been one-carried out? Did the
extremely high protectionists bunko
the ones who are moderate protection.
lists and after getting these duties so
high then proceed to hog the whole
thing? 1t really looks that way.

Selfish and Ruinous Gre ed.

The amazing folly apparent in the
present attitude of the Republican par
ty, making fetch of tariff whose
Trainer frankly stated it was open to
correction at any time, is born of sur.
render to evil influences. The Repub
lican organization is helpless in the
grasp of the trusts. The selfish greed
of these great monopolies is debating
policy which spells overthrow for
the Republican party as surely as the
sun rises and sets. 1t is too late to
fool the people with the doctrine OF
tariff inviolability.

are of coral formation and consist
mostly of small atolls, a number OF
large islands, however, support abund'
ant animal and vegetable life and are
inhabited by people engaged in pearl
fishing.
The disaster occurred Jan. 13 and
was not known at Papeete until Jan.
26. The first advices reached Tahiti
by the French schooner Eimeo, which
brought the bare fact of tidal wave
having devastated the Pearl Islands.
Survivors of the disaster say the
wind swept across the islands with
the force of catapult. The seas bat
tered against the reefs with thun-
derous crash. Suddenly great wall
of water seemed to rise from the sea
and sweep shoreward, gaining In
height as it travelled.
In terror the inhabitants fled In
land at the sight of the great mass
of water coming in from the sea.
Those who could fed to the loftiest
knolls, while others who were unable
to reach the heights sought refuge In
the tops of cocoanut trees.
The mass of water struck the outer
reefs like a battering-ram, crumbling
them as if they were of earth. Over
the islands the wave swept, leaving
destruction in it's path. Dwellings
we're knocked down and the trees on
which many had sought refuge were
torn out by the roots. For ten hours
the flood of waters surged back and
forth over the land and then receded
leaving everything bare and desolate

YOUNG ADMITTED HIS CRIME.
New York Murderer at Once Sen.
fAncad IN I ife I'm nris n nnent

New York Murderer at Once SEN
fenced to Life Imprisonment.
Almost at the beginning of his trial
William Hooper Young, whose murder
of Mrs. Anna Pulitzer at New York
was one of the most sensational in the
annals of recent criminal cases, plead
ed guilty to murder in the second de-
gree and was sentenced to life impris-
onment.
Since the preliminary hearing Young
behaved in way to give the impress
sion that he Is insane. His hair and
beard were unkempt. He would stinen
in his chain when brought into csurt
and seem to require assistance to get
back to his cell when the proceedings
were over. His eyes would roll and
he would make incoherent remarks
until silenced by the court. His de-
tense at first was expected to be In
sanity. At the suggestion Of the court,
however, a commission of experts was
chosen by counsel for the defense and
for the prosecution. They reported
that he was perfectly sane.
Young admitted that he was aware
of the murder of Mrs. Pulitzer, and
that it had been committed in his
apartments, but that the doer of the
deed was Charles s. Filing. No such
person has been discovered, and he Is
looked upon as the invention OF the
prisoners fertile brain.
Young was the black sheep of the
family of Brigham Young, the Nor
mon apostle. He had been outlawed
by his church and disowned by his
father.
The prisoner took his sentence char
acteristically. Haggard and wan, he
was supported by two bailiffs as he
heard the sentence pronounced. Then

Republicans Indict the Tariff.

The Republican majority in Con-
gress has submitted convincing proof
that it recognizes the present evil OF
high protection and that free trade is
the remedy for that evil. The action
of the Senate in placing anthracite
coal on the free list furnishes this
proof. The confession is made that
the Republicans abandon their former
position and agree that the removal
of the tariff duty on anthracite coal,

Senator Hanna and His Friends.

Senator Hanna is certainly loyal to
his friends, even when the latter are
disreputable. He has now come for
ward to the rescue Of Addicks. In his
official capacity as chairman Of the
Republican national committee he tel
egraphs to the regular Republicans in
the Delaware legislature that he hopes
they will never stoop so low as to
vote for an honest Democrat, In order
to prevent the success Of Republican
corruptionist. The Republican party
he declares, is entitled to the fruits
of victory" and the fact that they are
rotten fruits does not trouble Mr.
Hanna in the least.

Mo Virtue In the Reneal.

The duty on coal has been taken of,
but that is more the result Of the un.
bounded public indignation over the
scarcity of fuel than part of a general
plan which should be devised and
carried out to rescind or amend laws
which threaten the general prosperity.

while containing no menace Of lower
wages for workingmen, offers relief to
consumers by making competition
possible. This is the extreme form
of the argument, extended all along
the line, upon which the advocates Of
tariff reform urge a revision Of the
Dingley tariff.

that the government with surprising
tenacity wishes to exclude themselves

AS regards international dangers, all
can say is that if these dangers exist
they are due to the conduct of the

direction of reaction. If the Colombian
