question of the margin between
raw material and manufactured
goods which shall be required by
the manufacturer is left to be ad-
justed by Governor Douglas.
The strike was the greatest dis
turbance the textile industry Of
America has ever known. When
the mills involved were obliged to
close their gates about %, 900 OPP
eratives were thrown out Of work.
During the months the mills
were shut down the operatives lost
nearly $4,000 weekly and the
corporations about $23. 900. The
aggregate direct losses to all inter-
ests up to today is estimated at
fully $5,OoO,OO0. The indirect
losses were also considerable.

Hotfoot After the Trusta.

This seems to be the open season for
trusts. The assault is all along the
line. Public officials, state and nation
al, are whetting their knives for these
masters of commerce. To help the
crusade along private persons who
have been wronged by them are ap-
pealing to the courts for redress Of
grievances. This dispatch will make
''mighty interesting reading" all over
the country:
Chicago, Jan. 19.-Alleging violation of
the Sherman antitrust law, Samuel Ly-
ons, dealer in silverware, has begun suit
In the United States circuit court here for
$4,000 damages against the International
Silverware Company of New Jersey. Ly-
Ons alleges that the silver company and
its officers, together with other silverware
concerns controlling 40 per cent of the sill
verware output in the United States and
Canada, have entered into a conspiracy
resulting in control of prices. Purchasers,
1t Is alleged. were compelled to sign con-
tracts not to sell articles lower than stip-
ulated by the alleged combination. Lyons
says he cut the price of articles, and the
combination refused to sell him stock,
thus entailing loss TO him of 100000.

Prepostorous,


The entente cordiale 'twixt America
and Great Britain is certainly most
desirable thing-in fact, 1t Is desirable
to have It exist generally among all
nations, but the whistle may be too
expensive. For instance, Sir Howard
Vincent, M. p, wants us to omit the
third stanza of the "Star Spangled Ban
ner" in order to promote brotherly love
betwlxt us and our British kinfolks.
Sir Howard is asking entirely too
much. In fact, his request is prepos-
terous. The Americans are a good ma
tured set just now, being well fed and
well clothed, but they will not curtail
their national songs to please anybody.
They can't sing much. Not one in
fifty could sing, whistle or play the
"Star Spangled Banner"--it's difficult
piece of music-but they would cheer
fully 60 to war before they would give
up syllable of 1t. They know that 1t
is bold defiance Of Great Britain and
therefore dote on it. Sir Howard may
not know, but Johnny Bull is not pop
ular with hoi polloi over here. He
has been misled by the slabber and
gush of the Anglomaniacs, who are
the laughingstock of genuine Amer
leans and who exert about as much in
fluence in this country as an April
shower exerts on the back of full
feathered duck. While the plain peo-
pie might possibly have let the third
stanza of the Star Spangled Banner"
fall into innocuous desuetude of their
own notion. now that it has been
suggested by an Englishman they
Strenuously object to any curtailment.

Good.

Governor W. L. Douglas, Democrat,
of Massachusetts, is making good. 1t
Is well to keep an eye on him these
frosty January days. He may go far.
His official deeds up to the present
writing prove that he is making head
way. His appointment Of Lieutenant
General Nelson A. Miles to a position
on his staff increased his popularity
somewhat In the country at large and
very much in the old Bay State, for
there is general impression that Gen
eral Miles was treated shabbily by the
last two administrations. Now comes
Governor Douglas and settles the Fall
River strike. This is bound to aug
ment his prestige at home and to keep
him In the public eye all over the land.
If he keeps up this lick he is certain to
be reelected next fall and In 1906, as
1t is the rule in Massachusetts to elect
satisfactory governor three times. He
would in that case be governor of
Massachusetts, until January, 1908, by
which time the entries for the presi-
dental race will all be made. To be
the Democratic governor OF that ven
cradle commonwealth at the beginning
of 1908 would certainly entitle him to
great consideration as a presidential
candidate. This will be granted him
most assuredly If tariff revision and
genuine reciprocity are to be among
the leading issues of that campaign.
The chances Of Governor Douglas to be
the next president of this puissant re-
public are not by any manner of means
to be sneezed at. III nominated, he
would probably be elected, because he
would have the hearty support of a
large contingent OF the labor vote. II
he could poll as great a per cent of
them nationally as he did In his own
state he would carry the country with
whoop. He wOlld also be popular
with the business men of the country.
"A fellow feeling makes us wondrous
kind" so 1t Is said, and they may con-
clude to set aside lawyers and soldiers
and to elect for once a man OF their
own kind. Another class OF men who
would be very friendly to him would
be the publishers Of the land, for he is
tne OF the most liberal advertisers In
phe land. The Republicans in 1908 will
lave no man to run whose face and

Boston, Feb. 8.-The strike of
the cotton mills operatives at Fall
River was settled at a conference
here last week. The conference
was held at the State House, re-
presentatives of the manufacturers
and of the operatives having met
by arrangements made by Cover
nor Douglas.
The strike began July 25, 1904,
when manufacturers posted notices
of 12 12 per cent. reduction in
wages.
A conference held here last
Wednesday was without result,
but both parties came today au-
thorized to make settlement.
BY the settlement agreement the
operatives will return to work at

The heartrending news comes from
Wichita, Kan.-the Kansas Of Old John
Brown of Ossawattomle = that when
Booker T. Washington recently lee
tured in Wichita he was refused en-
tertainment at the hotels and had to
lodge with a colored man and brother!
Now, IL that incident had happened in
n southern state it would have been
savaGely commented on by all the Re-
publican newspapers in the land and
would have been exploited as proof
positive that the denizens of those
states are only semicivilized. What
will they say about it now, when this
uncanny tGng happened in bleeding
Kansas, which rolled up beastly ma
Jority for Roosevelt at the late cleo
tion and which has a solid Republican
delegation in both houses of congress
How can this treatment Of Professor
Washington be reconciled with the
, statement made on the floor of the
house less than year ago by Mr..
Reeder of Kansas that majority of
the people of his district would con-
oluCI II u SIcul " Gttb Win
Booker Washington or, to have him for
q guest in their homes? 'Reeder's dis
trict is not as strongly Republican rs
the Wichita district; consequently his
declaration and the action of the Wichi-
tn bonifaces do not harmonize. What
are we to conclude from this incident
Are the Republicans growing weary Of
the Booker Washington cult. or are the
Wichita hotel keepers exceptional in
their views among Republicans? This
is matter that should be carefully in
vestigated by Senator Thomas Collier
Platt of New York and Representative
Crumpacker of Indiana, to say nothing
of other palpitating patriots who have
been trying their level best to make po-
litical capital for themselves out of the
race question. They should by all
means look to the behavior of these
Wichita folks.

NHE ways ana means committee

tariff on Philippine imports

Dingiey tariff rates. The beet sugar

ed as amazing is that, inclusive of Gig

than 534 cigars per capita for all the

cost, calculated on the low basis of 5
cents per cigar, amounts to the enor-
nous sum Of $374,OOO,O00, which is
about $3.50 per head for every man,

ing the average family at five and a
half persons, it amounts to $24.75 an

bit of delicious humor:

nights ago Willie saw his wife downtown
when he thought she ought to have been
at home sewing buttons on his Sunday

recent decision of the St. Louis Judge who
held that man had the right to chastise
his wife. So, taking his position around

Those who believe religiously in kick
much disappointed because Colonel Will

Washington paid his compliments to
Colonel Roosevelt at the White House.
Just why one prominent gentleman
should not call on another is a mystery.
Many also wonder that Colonel Bryan
encouraged the president in his efforts
to regulate freight rates. Surely that
should create no surprise, for the regu-
lation Of freight rates is Democratic

Texas having introduced the first bill
on the subject.

The man who has instituted proceed
ings in court to restrain Hon. Thomas
Collier Platt of New York from exer-
cising his functions in the senate of the
United States certainly carries around
with him his nerve, but he appears to
have thrown discretion to the winds.
His grounds are that by reason of be-
ing president of an express company
he has no time left over to discharge
his duties as senior senator from New
York. The thing is ridiculous, for it is
well known that Platt was sent to the
senate to represent the express compa-
MES, just as Depew was sent thither to
represent the railroads.
