 Presidential The nominations for
 Nominations President of the United States are one of the burning questions of the day in the political world. It appears quite plain that since the death of Senator Hanna the Republicans will nominate almost, if not quite, unanimously President Roosevelt for a term of four yea IS The Democrats have quite problem on their hands m their nominee. MT Hearst is gaining the western votes at the convention and Judge Parker will have solid vote from New York with quite following from the South. It will be the old fight between the radi- cal element as represented by Hearst and the conservative element as repre- sented by Parker. The Prohibitionists are likely to take up with Gen Miles who will carry on picturesque cam paign no doubt. He has been an earnest friend of the anti-canteen movement and it is thought that possibly the Democrats might be per suaded to endorse him at their con- vention. Meanwhile the average man will saw wood and say nothing until November next.

 Failure. the old story of the fool and his money soon parted. MT Sully made three million dollars lastsummer, speculating in cotton. He sent cotton soaring out of sight and made hard times for the cotton mills in New Eng land and Old England. It is said that the loss in wages alone in England amounted to about g., ,OOO, ,000. But the bubble has burst at last and the king of the cotton market has lost his crown. He gets precious little com fort from the papers for they condemn him right and left for the course he has taken. One of the results of the Cotton boom is that the manufacturers are looking the world over to see if they can find some place where more cotton can be raised and whether there can be any substitute be found for it in manufacture. Meanwhile the average citizen is wondering how long the dear public will stand it to see any man or set of men corner the necessities and commodities of life. In another gen. eration they will probably hang at the most convenient lamp post the man who uses his capital to take bread out of the mouths of the people. We are getting to the place in our civilization where we accept with very poor grace the person of the man who robs the people to enrich himself.

 as the Cause of Russian papers the War. in seeking an explanation for the war between Japan and Russia goes very far atield and dis covers it in the American Trust. The argument is somewhat after this fashion. The American manufacturer began the trust campaign by first making a high tariff for America so that the European could not get into the market of this land at all. Then he started out to find new worlds to conquer. China seemed to be land with great many people and so the American Trust magnate began to look for ways to get into the market which was heretofore held by Europe. They got hold of the Hawaiian Islands as stopping place and then marched on to China. They stirred up the world against Russia by sending Ken nan to write up Siberia. Then they worked on the heroic spirit of Japan and now while Japan and Russia are having a fight they will walk into China, capture all the markets an6 push the other countries to the wall
 So the Russian papers say that the American trust is at the bottom o the present war. It goes without say that the argument is rather far fetched. If the Russians had not hat any Siberia Kennan could not hav' written them up. If the Czar hat treated Japan with courteous polite ness and answered her demands a once pacifically there would be no wa in the East today,
