Modern Pirates.

The oldtime sea rover who was
wont to swoop down on mer-
chantman and loot its cargo was re-
garded by all civilized uatioLs as
criminal of the most dangerous
type. If caught, he was usually
hanged along with his crew. In
these more peaceful days there
are pirates who prey on commerce,
but they are far less engaging to
the imagination. Among them,
as told elsewhere in the Tribune
this morning. may be classed the
trademark CRATER, ;" as he is
sometimes called. who, despite the
laws, still propers. Instead of
holding up a ship laden with lner-
chandise he attacks the business of
some other manufacturer, and by
initiating his rivals brand, the
style and cover of the packages in
which the wares are sold, and also
by throwing out to the public the
bait of a cheaper price, he diverts
the revenues of his victim into his
own pocket.
So great has become the depreda-
tions of these land buccaneers
that American manufacturers are
now asking for national law

TOAILING WOMEN.
A Little Sound Advice Will Help Many I
Sufferer in Brownsville.

No woman can be healthy and
well if the kidneys are sick. Pois-
ons that pass off in the urine when
the kidneys are we'll are retained
in the body when the kidneys are
sick. Kidneys and bladder get in
famed and swollen, crowding the
delicate female organs nearby and
sometimes displacing them. This
is the true cause of many bearing
down pains, lameness, bacSache.
sideache, etc. Uric poisoning also
causes headaches, dizzy spells,
languor, nervousness and rheu-
matte pain.
When suffering so, try Doan's
Kidney Pills, the remedy thai
cures sick kidneys. You will get
better as the kidneys get better,
and health will return when the
kindeys are we'll. Let a woman
tell you about Doan's Kidney Pills
Mrs. c. E. Garcia, of 500 Grand
St. Laredo, Tex, says: For the
last ten or twelve years have used
a great many different medicines
without receiving much benefit if
any. A doctor whom I consulted
said it was my kidneys that caused
the trouble. l knew the value of
Doan's Kidney Pills from having
read of them and so l sent for a
box. I found them to do me so
much good that 1 kept OIL taking
them. They corrected the action
OF the kidney secretions which had
been irregular and, in fact, they
did me more good than any other
medicine ever used.

and selfglorifcation that have been
so freely INDUCED in. The mer-
cilessness and success with which
a candidates discreditable deeds
are brought to light, magnifed and
paraded have barely equaled the
eagerneSs with which such candi-
date has grown eloquent over his
own virtues and performances.
The readiness of opponents to
pick a candidate to pieces is pro-
verbal and the exhibition of I'M
speakable vanity with which a
candidate sometimes presents him
self as the only first class piece OF
timber discoverable is also proven
bal. The experienced voter, as a
rule, knows just what the extrav-
aganza means, and is not easily
mlSled.
There are, however, some voters
of little experience, of ardent ill-
pulses and hearty attachments,
whom it is certainly possible and
even easy to mislead. 1t is these
whom The News would advise to
be wary and not to be moved by
every campaign rumor that gets
ahoat. Do not condemn any cam
didate without a hearing. Do not
fall away from your favorite can
didate without giving him time
and opportunity to explain. Cal

which shall make the imitation of
trademarks penal offence. A bill
has been introduced at Washington
which provides that the maker of
goods which are articles of in
terestate commerce and which bear
labels in imitation of other brands
shall be liable to 81 900 fine or i'm
prisoment for two years, or both.
The manufacturer who heeces the
public by means of counterfeit
label is as much a swindler as the
green goods man or the gold brick
financier. If, as the advocates of
the bill assert, it will be supported
by the courts as constitutional, it
should be passed. Caution in re-
spect to its scope. however, is abb
Solutely necessary. The law of
1876, which made trademark Coun-
terfeiting a penal offence, was over
thrown by the courts on the ground
that it iufringed state rights.
Most of the states have statutes
making trademark piracy a Grim
inal offence, but these laws vary to
such a degree and are so laxly
enforced that manufacturers say
they afford them little protection.
They also point out that nearly all
European countries have national
laws like the one they want enact
ed by Congress, and that even in
China there is a law providing
that one guilty of this offence may
be imprisoned for one year.-New

Be a Steadfast Voter.

Do not forsake your favorite
candidate OH every idle report
about him. Do not be bent and
swayed by every idle breeze that
is created during a stormy cam
paign year. 1t is fair to give even
your enemy an opportunity to
explain, then. surely, a chance
TO explain is due to your friend.
The News says this without
having in view any particular case
or candidate. 1t would make the
demand fol simple justice even if,
by backing up such demand, it
knew that the result would be the
success at the polls of the very
man whom it preferred to see
defeated.
The advice is general, but, while
it is applied generally. it is quite
sure to fit almost every case.
There are few candidates who are
not misrepresented by either their
opponents or certain of the ardent
adherents of such opponents.
There are exceptions to the rule.
The News would be pleased to see
these multiplied.

HILLERY'S LITTLE JOKE.
Made an Address Before Y. M. C.

MORRISTOWN, May 7:-Bossism,
Colbyism, newspapers and magazines
were subjects touched upon by Sena-
tor Hillery, of Morris county, in an
address before the mems meeting OF
the Y. M. c.. A. yesterday afternoon.
The young senator from Morris de-
nounced in high sounding terms the
criticisms made upon lawmakers and
party leaders by the newspapers and
periodicals.
81 don't like to sec the press so
wrapped up in its ideas as to condemn
men whom | know to be honest, said
the senator. There is a tendency
not only to criticise individuals but
also a body of men without discrim-
nation. This is done by the press, l
presume, to outstrip its competitors.

denunciation."
AS to. the Colby movement, the
senator thought this reform wave

THAYER HITS GARFIELD.

Outrageous PerversiOn of Facts.

PHILADELPHIA, STAY q wee
President Thayer of the Pennsylvania

missioner Garield's report condemhlhs
railroads for their connection WIN
Standard Oil interests. He said:
'The report of Commissioner Car
field so far as it refers to Il company
in its relations with the traffic OF the
Standard Oil company is an inexcusa-
BILE and outrageous ~perversion of the
facts.
"It is true that there has been in eff
feet a special rate of 0 cents per bar
rel on oil from Clean to Rochester, and
it has not been withdrawn. This rate
was originally made in 1888 by the
Western New York and Pennsylvania
railway, twelve years before the acqui-
sition of that company by the Pennsyl-
vania railroad.
.rIt is not a secret rate and neve has
been secret. The tariff was not filed at

IDEALS OF THE CHURCH.
Rev. James H. NOrthrup Writes an
Editorial for His Bulletin.

In yesterdays issue of the weekly
Bulletin, issued by the Presbyterian
church appeared the following edi-
totial from the pen Of the pastor,
Rev. James H. Northrup:
ut is often taken for granted that
as members of a Christian commun-
ity we have about the same ideals
but that we fall short at very differ
ent stages in living up to them;
whereas, the truth is that our ideals
differ quite as greatly as u per
Torrance, and the difference in the
former is chiefly the cause of the
difference in the latter.
The man that doesn't go to church
usually thinks that the church is a
good thing for the slum people, and a
good place for his children, has a re-
straining moral influence. That is
the police force ideal of the church.
The man that doesn't give to the
church usually considers it a sort of
mutual benefit association where
those who are in the benefit should
pay the dues.
The true ideal of the church is
much higher. That man that goes to
the church and gives to the church,
and belongs to the church, knows
that it is rather a high constraining
power to good, that it is %altruistic in
stead of mutualistic, that 1t affords
the means of grace, and offers
through Christ peace here, and eter-
nally the more abundant life.

Makes an Open Statement Ne

Pending in The Senate.

WASHINGTON, May 7.-President
Roosevelt has reiterated his views Oh
railroad rate legislation in a telegram
sent to the legislative committee Of the
| Pennsylvania State grange. The tele-
gram says;
81 am happy to tell you that not only
am | standing on my original position
as regards rate legislation, but it seems
likely that congress will take this posi-

bill must mean, supposing it to be n

onne, $2.79; P~assaic, sass; East
Orange, $2.73; West Hoboken, So

field, $2.52. All of these cities could
reduce their rates to so this year if
the true valuation" assessments
were strictly enforced.
Similar conditions exist in all parts
of the state and a general reduction
of the rate is expected during the
next year This is made easier by
reason of the fact that under the new
railroad law railroads will pay near
ly 100000 more in taxes than
they have ever paid before.
Will Name County Board.
Governor Stokes is expected to
name the new county boards of equal
ization of taxes some time this week.
Under the provisions of the Avis law,
which created these boards, the COM
missioners were to have commenced
their work the first of this month,
but the governor has been unable to
complete his lists of a%ppointees as he
wants it, and on this account the
naming of the men has been delay
ed. The governor has repeatedly de-
clared that the men he appoints to
these boards must devote enough
time to the work to do it properly,
and this makes the selection of the
right kind of men more difficult.
These boards are to consist of
three members in each county, one
of whom must be a democrat under
the present republican regime. The
salaries range from $1,000 to $4,000
per year each, according to the pop
ulation of the county. Each board is
allowed to name a secretary at a sal
AIRY not to exceed the salary of its
own members.
