Conspiracy's Purpose.

"There is but one ultimate object
of the conspiracy, viz: to fix the price
which shall be observed by all re-
tail druggists in selling to the con-
sumer the various commodities manu-
facutred by the several members Of
the proprietary association. The
plan by which such object is effected
is. in brief, as follows: No retail
druggist can obtain goods from a
wholesale druggist or a manufacturer
of q proprietary medicine unless such
retail druggist becomes a member OF
the National Association Of Retail
Druggists, and in order to become
such member he must agree to OBJ
serve the established price at which
such proprietary medicines shall be
sold to the consumer.
"If such retail druggist, after be-
coming member Of the National As
sociation Of Retail Druggists, cuts
prices in the sale Of such articles
to the consumer, ne is immediately
placed upon the list Of yss known
as aggressive cutters, hereafter
such retail druggist is uSsble to OBJ
tain from any manufacturer who Is
a member Of the Proprietary Associa-
ton. or from any other wholesale
d,noist who is a member Of the
Wholesale Druggists Association, any
Of the commodities which may be
manufactured and sold by them OF
any of them.

fact that, IN the midst of a press of

the gentleman from Spokane. It is
known that the chief executive is not
at all fond Of Mr.. Hepburn.
Sure enough. it developed that the
sole and only reason why the machine
refused to endorse Nettleton was that
he had declined to contribute a per-
centage of his official salary to the
Idaho Republican campaign fund. as
per assessments levied on him by
Chairman Brady The assessments
covered two campaigns and amounted
to S17O. Under the circumstances this
did not seem to the president a suffi-
cient reason for refusing reappointment
to Nettleton. He has. therefore. been
reappointed, over the protests and
against the wishes Of Hepburn, French,
Gooding and Brady. The principle is
q frst-cIass one, and we are very sorry

FURIOUS TALK.

There was some curious talk in the
debate by the Iowa state senate on the
Lewis bill for a national convention to
decide upon plans for electing United
States senators by direct vote of the
people Senator Durham, opposing the
bill, said it was inspired by interests
that are DESTROYS Of securing the seats
now held by Senators Dolliver and Al
lison of Iowa He added that it was a
miserable political impulse which
prompted the introduction of this reso-
luton. It sprung from the dirtiest
lowest. peanut politics in the history
Of the state"
Talk of this sort from a friend Of
Senators Allison and Dolliver is Gu
rious because it will be generally con-
strued as an admission that neither
DolIfver nor Allison could hold this
senatorshfp if the people of Iowa had
a chance to vote on the question. No
other inference is possible. And If the
resolution was inspired by men who
are unfriendly to the senators, then
they must believe strongly in their
ability TO Dust them by a popular vote.
Further, if the people of Iowa do not
want to be represented by Allison and
DolIiver they should be given the priv
ilege of saying so.
From any viewpoint direct election
of United States senators is altogether
desirable. A large majority of the leg
islatures of the various states have al
ready adopted resolutions of an af-
firmative character on the subject
The house has several times passed a
resolution for a constitutional amend
ment but the senate has invariably
ture time the senate also will act IA
vorably, for the demand is great and
growing constantly.
There is really no sound argument
against the proposition. The public
officer who is afraid to let the people
he serves vote for or against him does
not deserve to serve any people The
adoption OF a constitutional amend
ment for the popular election of sen
atOrs might deprive the august upper
house of some of it's best known mem
bers. but the country could worry
along very nicely under the shock. II
is even possible to believe that public
business would go forward I'm a much
more satisfactory manner than al
present.

used TO cross the Connecticut river from
the New Hampshire side to trade at

but failed to pay, so he was obliged TO
be a little cautions about being caught in

One day he ventuTed over and the sher-

As they neared the bridge the sheriff

of hearing didn't quite hear what the
sheriff said but had started to put down
the gate when Jackson shouted: Put
