The newspapers OF the country are 10
get no relief from the grinding exac'
tions of the trusts at the hands OF the
republican party. The whole tarh
question is to be pat off until the next
congress. There is nothing that enters
into the printing business that IL not
controlled by trust. The printer Ike
the farmer must pay tribute 10 the
trusts on every item which he buys
and with no other excuse excepting
that the trusts may pile up their III
gotten dollars. There is no excuse iof
not taking the tariff fwood-paip and
newspaper. 1t is tax on every Iaml-
ly in the country that reads.a newspa-
per, and they all do read the papers,
tax on intelligence, not tax to the
government but to the few individuals
who control the paper mills. The tax
on type and printing machinery isno
less indefensible. The printers are being
robbed each year by 1.-THE type trust of
millions Of dollars and still our repub-
lican contemporaries through the
country districts are singing the
praises of the tariff to the tdns Of
lsstand pat" They are willing to go
through life with their noses on the
grindstone while it is being turned by
the tru is. Take the tariff of the limo
type machine and the price would
come down pretty soon within the
reach of many u printer through the
country who is now pickingitype with
his fingers.

Wants no Duke in Family.

Washington, March Cit is now
declared that the objection to the mar
riage of Miss Katherine Elkins to the
Duke of the Abruzzi does not come
from Rome, but from the venerable
grandfather of the Young lady, ex-
Senator Henry Gassaway Davis.
Senator Elkins, father of Miss Kath-
crime, is worth about 50 ,OO0,0 900 and ex-
Senator Davis sixty millions. Rather
inc Elkins has always been an indie
pendent, high-spirited girl, and the
pride of the Elkins family would not
permit her to go to Rome and accept a
secondary position there, AZ would be
necessary unless she had the Elklns-
Davis foltane back OF Ter.
Grandfather has not forgotten the
game played against him when his
engagement was announced to Miss
Maude Ashford, of Wrshington,
few months ago. Miss Katherine took
her part in persuading grandfather

that the battle has left its SCARS. Miss
Kalherine's shsre of her grandfather $
fortune would amount to between $5,-
600 900 and So, 900, 900.
While the venerable ex-senator is
in his eighty-second year he is vigorous
aud may have many years yet before
him. 1t it said by one near to the fam
lily that he is bitterly opposed to inter
national marriages and will not con-
sent to his granddaughters marriage
to the Duke of the Abruzzi or any 9TH
er foreigner. 1t is said that he wan is
his granddaughter all to marry
Americans, aud it wouldn't surprise
tn sc close to tina family if he should
make such a condition in regard to
the inheritance of any of his fortune.
1t is said after the Duke reaches
Rome a statement may be made by
the Elkins family not caring to change
her religion the be,rothal will not take
place.

The charge that William j. Bryan
is boss is ridiculous. a political
boss is a man who abuses the conf
de- &c of the people and rides rough
shod over the majority by corrupt
methods with no regards for right or
wrong. Such methods are far from
Mr.. Bryan. In fact the charge Is
often brought by his enemies that he
appeals too much to the VIII of the
people. The republican politicians
call him boss and i'll tue same bIeath
abuse him because he favors the ini-
tiative and referendum, which u.4eans
nothing but majority rule. These
same fellows have become habituai

Mr.. John p. kearfott, of hearAeys-
vile was business visitor to
this ciTy on Monday and being
in politics just now took occasion TO
talk little with his acquaintance on
public matters. He is candidate IN
Jefferson county for the lower house
of the state Legislature and is submit
ting his claims to the democratic prl-
mary on April 26. Mr.. Kearfott is a
man Of wide experience, well inform
ed on public matters and particularly
fitted to represent the great agrieul-
tural county of jefferson. He is a sue
cessful farmer and the farmers interests
is his. interest. He was born on VIII
gina soil and mas lived here all his
life. During the war between the states
he servea with signal gallantry
through That entire struggle following
Jeb Stewart until that hero fell and
the remainder of the war under his
successors. He is not only native
of Virginia and worthy ex Confed-
crate but has always been a true dem
ocrau without reward as he has never
had an office.
We believe the good old Virginia
people of Jefferson county Will take
cognizance of these matters and see TO
it that Mr.. Kearf0tt is elected as ne
deserves 10 be.

If anybody ever had doubt that
President Roosevelt is doubled dis
titled politician whose first aim at all
times is to protect and promote the in
terests of the Republican party, GER
tajniy that doubt is dispelled, now
that the President announces that no
tariff legislation will be considered un-
til next year, when, he promises, the
tariff will be reduced. This promise
Is on par with the international BIZ
metalism promise made III 1896, for
political purposes, only. But it car
ries, fortunately, the silent admission
that, the tariff should be reduced. Then
why delay reduction? The people
are grooming under the heavy load.
Manufacturers from arrogant trusts,
sell their goods here to us at an enor-

and undersell the foreigner in his own
markets. The people want relief now,
not next Iyear or at some indefinite
future time.-Review.

Stearns county also rejoiced in the
selection of Hon. R. B. Brewer of St.
Cloud as permanent chairman of the
convention. Mr.. Brewer received
complimentary notice from the
city press for the able man
ner in which he pre-
sided. This fact caused his name to
be used in connection with the repub-
lican nomination for governor, but
the St. Cloud man declined to enter
tain the proposition, saying that he
was out of politics. The Minneapolis

in the convention.

is FESTIVE under the allegations made
by the urbane attorney general While
district convention the former state
auditor relieved his mind as follows:
GAS far as Young's talk that 1 am
the agent of the lumber interests, if
I couldn't get their support when !
was running for governor four years
ago, how can l expect that l can turn
them over to anyone else this year ?
There was only one of the lumbermen
at Minneapolis that was friendly to
me then, and not one contributed to
the campaign fund either before or
after the convention. The entire cam
paign fund did not amount to over
$4,000, the smallest in the history of
the state. So there couldn't be many
lumbermen contributing to the fund.
A majority of the lumbermen oppos-
