There was great rejoicing among
the Republicans when the first news

preme Court was handed down,
but it was short lived for already
they realize the fact that it puts
them ID a worse hole than ever,
since they are now between the
devil and the deep sea or salt water
of some kind, for they dare not
proceed further against the trusts
and if they don't the Democrats will
make more campaign capital than
ever out Of IT, as the trust business
is to one of the main issues of the
campaign and the Supreme Courts
decision against the railroad trust,
was at first thought 70 knock the
prop from under the Democrats and
destroy part of their campaign

ministration would proceed now to
prosecute other big trusts. will
they do itS Well we rather guess
not.

The sentiment in this State is
growing very rapidly for William
Randolph Hearst as the choice of
the Democracy for President. The
people are undoubtedly for Hearst
by big majority, but few of the
big leaders of the party are against
him. Hon. John T. McGraw, for
instance, the Member of the Ma
tional Committee for this State is
strong German man and is deter
mined to deliver the State to the
Maryland Senator if possible. This
Is one reason why the Delegate
Convention was called so early and
to be held way down at Charleston.
Earlier than ever before in order
TO head off the Hearst boom before
1t had time to spread and organize
and the convention held at one of
the most inaccessible points in the
State, so that but few would attend
and those few easier to handle by
the big bosses.

The Holt followers have been
claiming that the other counties OF
this Judicial district were for him
solid but they give themselves away
by the desperate fight they are max
ing in this county to secure some del
egates. If they had all the other
delegates, they would not need any
in Preston, but they haven't and
they know it, hence their desperate
tactics in this county. Even Tay-
lor county is not solid for Holt by
any means and as he knows he cans
get his own county solid ne wants
to break into his opponents home

Last week and this week we pub
lish some interesting matter from
Judge Hoke relative to the open
ing of the Japanese ports to the
commerce and civilization of the
world. Commodore Perry did
good work but another of our GAL
liant naval officers completed the
job. After Perry's invasion the laps
were far from friendly and were
prone to look on all foreigners with
suspicion. In 1868 the American
merchantmen Pembroke undertook
to pass through the Strait of Sni.
monoseki on her way to one of the
free ports. The powerful batteries
of the ports fred on her, and she
was compelled to put out at sea.
Naturally the United States was
angered. Cruising about the wa
tiers of the Orient in search of the
confederate vessel Alabama was the
United States ship Wyoming under
the command Of Commander David
Stockton McDougal, who was in
structed to teach the Japs a lesson.
Disgusting the war vessel as a mer-
chairman and with the United
-.
States flag flying, he entered the
Strait, ran past the forts under fire
and attacked two square rugged
vessels and a steamer which were
lying close to the town. He car
ried only six guns as against 4S on
the Japanese ship and in the forts,
but he said: owe will either blow
these ships out of the water or sink
ourselves"
There was hot fight but soon
the three Japanese ship were at the
bottom of the sea. Then he opened
fire on the forts until they were ST.
fenced, after which the Yankee
commander put to sea. He had
destroyed three vessels, damaged
the forts and killed 500 men, while
his own loss was four men killed
and seven wounded. The Wyom-
ing had been hit 10 times but was
not seriously damaged.
But Uncle Sam was not satisfied
with this lesson. The Japs were call
ec on to pay an indemnity
and the following year paid $3.50,
900. This fund remained on de-
post, invested in United States
securities, until in 1883 it amounted
to SI,77o, 364. In that year the
survivors of the Wyoming were
paid handsome sums and the bal
ance-S7So, ooo-was returned to
Japan.

Now that the Supreme Court has
upheld the constitutionality of the
Antitrust Law, the Administra-
ton has no excuse whatever for not
at once proceeding against the trusts
of the Country, hut will they do it ?
Well we doubt it. Not till after
the election any how and there
may be a bluff of some kind put up
then. The fact of the matter is
that the Republican party owes its
lease of power and present exist
ence to the trust and how dare
they proceed against them.

THE HEARST BOOM.

Our Washington Correspondent,
Charles A. Edwards, the Secretary
of the Democratic Congressional
Committee, writes us as follows in
regard to the boom for William
Randolph Hearst, editor of the
greatest Democratic paper in the
world and a member of Congress
from New York City
The interest here In the next
Democratic presidential candidate
does not abate in the least. The
strides being made by the Hon.
William Randolph Hearst is almost
the sole topic of conversation wher-
ever politicians do congregate. AL
most every day brings news of his
capture of some more delegates or
of some man of prominence in the
party councils coming out fer HIM.
The Parker men are thoroughly de-
moralized and his band wagon here
is nearly ready to hang out sign
standing room only" The old
politicians of the party are dazed
and do not know what to make of
it. Hitherto they have always had
things their own way in fixing up
conventions and sending delegates.
They have just begun to realize
that the people of the country are
taking hand in this affair and that
they are not it. They must either
get out of the way or get run over.
In their despair they are beginning

er of the Democracy in the House,
are mentioned. In speaking OF
this matter to me the other day a
prominent member of the House
said; "John Sharp Williams would
make an ideal candidate and an
ideal President of the United States,

would not be running two weeks
before the Mississippi constitution
would be the sole issue in the cam

Suspected Assassin Captured.

Santa Fe, n. NJ. Nov. 3O-Gamc
Warden Page b. Otero arrived last
evening from Progreso with Domingo
Villas accused of having assassinated
j. Francisco Chaves, superintendent OF
public schools Of the territory.
Villas, who is a half-breed Indian
and who has served term in the peni-
tentiary, returned to Progreso from
Mexico after a long absence and was
noticed lettering around the home Of
Colonel Chaves at Progreso and knew
that the latter had left Progreso for
Pinos Wells, fifteen miles distant. He
is known to have had a grudge against
Colonel Chaves both on account of his
own conviction and the conviction OF
his brother-in-law for sheep stealing
The latter is at present serving a term
in the penitentiary. However, the evil
dence against him is entirely circum-
stantial at present. Villas is a dead
shot
