the Republican party towards the trust
question, and the evils of the trust sys-
tenn. especially as it bears upon the la
boring men.
What About These Trusts
Where is the wood pulp trust of the
presidents especial friend. Mr.. White
law Reid? Where is the agricultural
trust of his ambassador to ST. Peters
burg? Where is the water-logged steel
trust, engineered into existence by the
legal ingenuity of his ex-Attorney General
Knox?
The Pennsylvania railroads have not
only a combination with themselves and
with the anthracite coal mine owners,
but they have perpetrated many abuses
in restraint of : trade@1lDt obvious and
known of all men. Why have not they,
and a dozen other railroad mergers, East
and West and North and South, been pro-
ceeded against? Why was it that when
the house of representatives passed a
resolution of inquiry asking the depart
ment of justice what steps. if any, had
been taken, or were contemplated, against
this iniquitous combination of anthracite
mine owners and railroads, that the at
torney general answered that it was mot
consistent with the public interest" to
give the information desired? How could
it have been inconsistent with the pub
lie welfare?"
The truth is that nothing had been
done, and the doing of nothing was In
contemplation. hence the administration
was afraid to impart the information
which the department possessed as the
result of previous inquiry, because that
information, If impaired, would have
shown violation Of the Sherman anti
trust law, and would have shown that
something ought to be done, while nothing
had been done. The great barons, rail-
road and coal barons, chiefs in this COM
bination, VIGOROUSLY control the Repub-
lican state machine in Pennsylvania. Can
it be that Mr.. Knox received the reward
of his silence (Which became. being unre-
buked the silence of the administration
when he was appointed by the governor
of Pennsylvania to fill Mr.. Quay's unex-
pired term? 1t was stated at the time
that the governor had agreed to appoint
WhomSoever the Republican machine rec
commended, that the machine was con-
templating the recommendation of an
other man, but that after the barons had
gathered and had seen Senator PenroSe
and the governor, the machine surren-
dered the other man, and Mr.. Knox, their
recommended, went in.
Hypocrisy or impotence
Why is. it, if the presidents boast in
his letter of acceptance, if the boast of
Mr.. Cannon, as permanent chairman of
the late Republican national convention.
be true, that, after the secretary of the
navy and others had confessed that the
great armor plate companies of this
country were in a combination to fleece
the United States government, the Re-
publican party in the house of repre-
sentatives, in solid phalanx except three
men, voted down proviso offered as an
amendment to the naval appropriation
law? Is this trust-slaying boast hypoc-
bill instructing the secretary of the
navy not to enter into any contracts
with corporations convicted of being in
an unlawful combine contrary to existing

them from rebuking in the most emphatic

For me 1t Is sufficient that he secured
his nomination by violence and fraud-by
methods that would bring the blush of
shame to an ofd-time South Carolina re-

franchised that his name might head the

ATTEMPT TO SINK
WARSH|P is MADE
Conspiracy to Ruin the Con-
nectlcut at Her Launching
Is Discovered
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
WASHINGTON, D. c.. Oct. THAT
the battleship Connecticut did not sink
soon after she was launched at the
New York navy yard Thursday was
due to the fact that conspiracy,
which was executed with surprising
daring, miscarried. Navy department
officials, with the aid of secret service
agents and private detectives, are in
vestigating the affair and the result
may make a tremendous stir.
Several days before the launching
hole was punched in the bottom of the
ship near the keel and one or two
plates were loosened. This discovery,
in connection with the finding of
spikes which were driven into the
launching ways below the water, has
made the plan of the conspirators
plain.

entire company from duty, but it is be-

suited from food which had been served

Editor OF The Ttmes-DtspatCh:
Sir have two children attending the
public school. Last year pne Of them
was In the afthA grade, the other in the
fourth. This year each has been adj
yanced one grade. Query: Can tho book
seller be- compelled 10 take back at the

year IN the hfth grade. but not t.ls. when
presented BY the child now en- tering tie

5ceive them back. 81 a rs
