Mr.. Hearst's Suggestive Question.

Mr. Hearst, In his New York newspaper,
illustrating his question with a balloon
shaped figure labeled Cleveland, standing
near tree with the democratic nominal
ton hanging fruit asks: IF this old
gentleman, after deciding that he did not
want the apple, and firmly refusing to be
tempted by the appIe-and turning his back
on the spple-should suddenly go after the
apple for all he Is worth, wouldn't 1t fab
bergast your"
Why should 1t fabbergast anybody with
eyes to see and ears to hear and little
knowledge of human nature? The everyday
observers of politicians and political events
have never for moment counted Mr..
Cleveland out of the st. Louis running. 1t
has been plain to them that a movement
was on foot in his behalf and that he would
be manageable" If the prospects were
good. Mr.. Clevelands posturings toward
That apple have misled nobody who has
been giving attention to developments He
has wanted 1t from the first, wants 1t now
and won't be happy unless he gets 1t.
But here is a question for Mr. Hearst.
Suppose Mr.. Cleveland gets the apple VIII
Mr. Hearst then object? There is probabl
no other man in the race for whom he en-
tertains so strong dislike. And with good
reason. For not only does he differ radi-
cally with Mr.. Cleveland on public cues
tons. but he has been on several occasions
referred to by him IN terms of marked per-
sonal dIsrespect. That man Hearst" was

himself to the nominee of the ST. Louis con-
vention, and ordinarily speaking, is in a
position where bolt would be dangerous
and might prove disastrous to him. But
Mr.. Cleveland would be a bitter dose for
him to swallow. After all he has said about
trusts; about the influence of Wall street in
our national affairs: about justice and fair

Mr.. Cleveland is facing the apple and his

On Wednesday of last week The Star,
in some observations on the subject of the
Pennsylvania senatorship. said
"Why then should not the successor OF
Mr.. Quay in the Senate-speaking with ref
erence to the new term-be not only man
of national reputation and influence but

Pennsylvania in fifty years has not COM

upper house of Congress She Is heartly
to be congratulated on this choice.
We may hear-a presidential race gives
rise to all sorts and conditions OF yarns
that this is scheme of the trusts; that the
transfer of Mr. Knox to the Senate means
the appointment of less able and agrees
siye man to the Attorney Generalshlp, ana
that mergers now may go forward without
fear of opposition. And yet when Mr. Knox
was chosen for the Department OF Justice
we were told that he was the trusts man;
that they had dictated the nomination; That
as Attorney General he would guard their
interests. and so on. Mckinley in the Knox
case had simply repeated Cleveland's play
in the case of Olney. The interests of the
trusts and not those of the people had been
consulted.
Mr. Knox made good in the Department
of Justice and there Is no room to doubt
that he will make good in the Senate. AS
the phrase Is he needs no introduction to
the public now. The Pittsburg lawyer OF a
few years ago has become national figure.

In solving. His policy as to the trusts is

the Sherman law is not a piece Of blank
paper. but a living, breathing statute, re-

hardly fail to secure good man.

Philippine Stocktaking.
From the New York Mail

The United States has just completed talk
ing an account of stock in the Philippine
Islands. For centuries the Spaniards had
been guessing at what they had there in the
way of population and the resources of
wealth. Although the Yankees are reputed
to be good guessers, they are not content
with conjecture when 1t comes to the data
upon which government and business are to
be founded. So we have taken q thorough
census of the Philippines, and are now able
to look about and see just what materials
exist for the making of our oriental island
commonwealth.

COST OF TRANSPORTATION.
Monopolies aud Trusts Receive Re.
bates While Other Shippers suffer.

As Il strong argument against the
trusts. which are fostered under the
Ubiquitous Dingley Tariff bill, paper
read by Mr. A. Il. Hepburn. President
OF the Chase National Bank OF New
York, before the American Bankers
Association, at the Waldorf, In New
York recently. may well be considered.
Mr.. Hepburn has some positive ideas.
and among them was this:
Recurring TO the initial thought OF
this pnper-the deslrabllity OF stable
business conditions and uniform cost
OF transportation and reasonable uni.
form rates for money, we. us bankers,
entirely apart from legislative or CO.
erciye measures. can exercise great In
huence In bringing about such condl-
tons"
Uniform cost OF transportation means
that one shipper must have the same
rate as another. Twenty years ago
the men who control the Standard OIL
Company and nearly everything else
In the country. saw the advantage OF
a rebate. They gave the other fellow
an even chance In production. but they
cut his throat IN getting Il cheaper

There Is coal trust that controls
every pound OF coal consumed in New
York and New England. Mr.. Baer Is
at the head OF this Sew raj years ago
the coal market OF New York was
open. The coal trust was formed. The
members got an advantage In freight
rates from the railroads. 1t was small,
but II was enough. II put the competi.
tors ont OF business. This rebate killed
competition made Il cunl monopoly
and coal bills appreciated about fifty
per cent.
This is but al example which could
be stretched out ad inhnitum. Every
criminal trust that lives gets Its life
from a special privilege. and the ma.
jorIty OF those special privileges are
given by virtue OF the Dingley Tariff
Act.
