A SOUND PRINCIPLE.

A remarkable instance Of abuse OF a
sound principle appears in the final
sentence OF the following resolution
adopted by the republican convention Of
Massachusetts last week to head off a
growing free trade sentiment in the
state which is manifested in demands
for reciprocity with Canada:
"Reciprocity with Canada is mere
phrase until the concessions offered on
one side and demanded on the other are
stated in detail. No administration and
no party can legislate or negotiate a
mere catch word into substance. Those
who demand reciprocity with Canada
should furnish details ii they desire ac-
ton, always remembering that no trade
can be good trade unless both parties
are benefited thereby"
Railways remembering that no trade
can be good trade unless both parties
are benefited thereby" No principle
could be sounder than that, and it is
gratifying to find protection conven-
ton endorsing it.

The distinguishing test between public
function and private business is the
source of power to act. If, in the nature
of things, that power is in the indivi-
dual as to any business, then such
business is private business; but if, in
the nature of things, power TO act must
be derived from the government, with
reference to any business, then such
business is public function. An in.
dividual needs no authority from govern
ment to engage, for instance, in the gro.
Gerry business, unless government first
forbids. In the nature of things that
business is open to anyone. But no.
body can engage in the s:reet.car bust
ness without getting authority from
government; and that is according to
the nature of the business, and not a
result Of prior interference by govern
ment. This distinction is made unani-
mously by the judges of the supreme
judicial court of Massachusetts, the
highest court OF that state.

THE IMPLEMENT TRUST.

If the American farmers will ask the
implement agents to show them the
instructions sent out by the Interna-
tional Harvester company of America
(the harvester trust, which includes the
Champion, Deering, Mccormick. Mil.
waukee and Plano companies)-they
will find that all the local agents are
requiredito cell at a certain price, and
the letters say to the local agents: "You
can cell just as many machines during
the summer at the prices we name in
this list as you can at lower price,
Thus does the trust tie up the local
dealers and hold the entire purchasing
public at its mercy, and yet a great
many republican farmers are so partisan
that they will go along and vote the
republican tickets just the same. But
here and there will be found some (may
tt cir tribe increase?) who will protest
not only against the harvest trust, but
against the republican administration
that allows it ard other trusts to exist.

NOT AN ARGUMENT.

Some of Judge Parker's supporters
are insisting that the democrats who De
lieye in the Chicago and Kansas City
platforms ought to favor his nomination
because he supported the democratic
ticket in both campaigns. Even assum.
ing, for the sake OF argume mt, that he
supported the democratic ticket in both
campaigns, that is no reason why the
believers in thoselplatforms should favor
his nomination. Mr.. Hill claims that
he supported the ticket in 1895, although
he did not publicly admit it for two
wears afterwards. After the campaign
he wrote a vicious magazine article at.
lacking nearlysevery plank in the plat
form Will anyone say that the people
who believe in those platforms should
favor Mr.. Hill's nomination. notwith.
standing that he, if president, would
use the great.iinhuence OF hi. office tn
thwart everyia democratic reform? If
Judge Parker supported the ticket for
regularity's sake, without being in SYM
pathy with the platform, why should
people who honestly believe in demo.
cratic principles as enunciated in those
platforms, favorshis nomination. Are
real democrats less sincere in devo-
ton to democratic. doctrine than the
boilers? Are they less concerned about
the country's welfare? The men who
bolted are loudly shouting their opposi.
ton to the nomination OF any democrat
VINO is in sympathy with recent national
platforms. Why Should the friends Of
those platforms shout for the nomina-
ton of a man opposed to their political
views? In other words, why isn't a
sure enough democrat; as much entitled
to work for the advancement OF his
principles as a sham democrat is to work
for the advancement of his peculiar
views?
Until Judge Parker declares to the
contrary, we have light to assume
from the character of the men and pa.
pers supporting him, that he is antag
onistic to the vital parts OF the Chicago
and Kansas City platforms.

TAME BASE BALL
ABERDEEN AND MONTESANO
ENJOY A QUIET GAME.
A Chilly Wind and Easy Going Game Wearied
the Fans Somewhat. Although on the
Whole They Rather Enjoyed the Game.
The First League Game Next Sunday.

A chilly wind prevailing at Athletic
park Yesterday afternoon, and rather
tame game Of ball put up by the Pipins

the fans to lack the usual inspiration.

also, had two more finds, Knapp on the
first, and Strayer on the third. switching
Campbell to short, and running Rochon
out to center to pick up the strays.
I Belt, the premier box artist of the S.
w. League, kept the farmer boys guess
ing for hits for six innings, when he re.
tired in favor of Hansen, who officiated
equally as coed. Sensational plays were
conspicuous by their absence, and stolen
bases were too numerous to mention.
Aberdeen scored one run in the second
and one in the fourth, and then, by an
aggregation of costly errors, allowed
three farmers to cross the rubber in the
fifth, giving them the lead OF one, which
they held until the seventh, when the
aggregation with Aberdeen across their
breasts began to do things. Campbell
was fret up, and Clark presented him
with trip pass to the first; Crete
singled, but was caught at second.

singled and Sherwood followed suit.

prize Of $3.50 offered by ''Shorty"

HOT PRIMARIES.
Republicans Elect Dele
gates saturday. The
"BOxers'' and ''HOly
Rollers" Have Their
Innings.

There was considerable good natured
rustling going on at the republican
primaries in this city Saturday, and,
although there was no open issue made
on Mcbride, the "Holly Rollers and
"Boxers" were fairly we'll lined up,
although the difference could usually
be traced to affairs personal rather
than political. So far as can be learned
at this writing, the governor seems
to have a good majo ity of the So
delegates.
In the first ward, saw man mill had
no chance. A. J. West, G. R. Wilson and
J. H. Leitch being defeated. This is
regarded as distinct victory for the
Boxers. The following delegates were
elected in this ward: G. F. Jentzen; E.
]. Carey; VIM. Ashley; Franklin Bane;
X. Flyte and J. G. Broderick.
In the Second ward, the Boxers again
appear ahead with the following dele.

In the Third ward the following were
elected, without much contest; f. B..

A. L. Rector; John Lindstrom G. E.
Weatherwax; Chas. T. DeLosh; NJ. NJ.
Bacon; w. II. White and John Clune
and NJ. NJ. Briggs, who tied and will each
have a one-half vote in the convention.
The meat axe was out for sure in the
Fourth ward, and number Of old stand
bys were laid ont cold. Sherwood was
accused OF monkeying with the official
ballot so as to place his own name at the
head, and, wrightfully or wrongfully,
he went down the line along with F. f.
Jones, E. c. Finch, N. w. Bush and
others.
The county convention will be held in
this city next Thursday, when, according
to Ed. Benn, the Mcbride supporters will
be found to number IS out of the delega-
tons OF 80 from Aberdeen.

MINISTERIAL SPECTATORS.

According to the Associat ted press dis
patches, Judge Utley OF Rochester, N.
Y, has been wrestling with a case in
which the members OF Roch 'ster
church sued their minister for commits
sions on stock in an old venture. In
giving hissopinion the judge criticised
the speculative deal in hand as zone OF
the worst schemes OF deliberate theft"
which hads ever come to his attention.
In criticisiug the minister lie quoted the
Scripture, "My house shall be called the
house OF prayer, but We have made it a
den Of thieves"
In investigating one of the ''get rich
quick" schemes recently exposed, it was
found that minister had made large
profit on a small investment and had
become so interested in the chance for
large gains that he induced number OF
members OF his church to join him in
the speculation. These instances are
not cited to be discredit CT churches in
general, but only as an illustration OF
the extent to which the speculative
spirit prevades the society.
If a minister feels tempted to lead his
flock intosany questionable scheme in
the hope of speedy profit, he will do well
to prepare sermon on the subject of
service. and by the time he has con.
cluded the discourse, he will. if he bases
his argument on scriptural grounds, be
disposed to lead his people away from,
rather than towards, all questionable
modes of enriching either themselves or
theirrchurches, and thus the disgrace
that { sometimes comes to churches,
oftentimes innocent of intentional crime,
will not occur.
