COHESION OF PLuNDER.

Among the phrases with which
Cleveland enriched the vocabulary of
politics is his cohesive power of pub.
lie plunder," ponderous phrase, but
weighty. He framed it to express
that power which coheres all interests
that make profits out of alliance with
government by which their gains are
promoted, either by direct action of
government or by its indirect action
in refusing to perform lbs legitimate
functions. 1t is plain plunder for it
is taken without compensation. 1t is,
in some forms, as in protective tariffs,
an exercise of the power of eminent
domain free from the constitutional
provision for compensation paid or
secured.
One need not go far to find illustra-
tions of this cohesive power of public
plunder. In fact, one need go no
farther than the first session of the
Sixtieth congress. Like the outcrop-
ping of gold vein it widens as one
goes farther back, for plumbers are
less audacious now than in other days,
but in two cases they displayed their
power in that session. The panic
revealed to certain interests, mutually
engaged in promoting and financing,
the need ofa currency more completely
under their control than was the exist
ing hotchpotch. They needed one
by which the promoting factor could
manufacture securities and make them
the basis of currency which the fnan-
ciat factor could obtain. They want
ed increase of use of the public funds
without compensation for use in their
speculations and promotions.
And they got it in the currency bill
incubated by Aldrich and wet-nursed
by Allison. 1t was in vain that every
financial authority in the land de-
nounced it; that bankers outside the
charmed circle of venture and exploit
alton denounced it Organizations of
business men expressed in strong Lam
guage their opposition. Hardly a
newspaper with intelligence enough
to let it form and express an opinion,
but opposed it and exposed it. All
useless and vain. The cohesive power
of public plumber jammed the measure
through congress and, most strange
cooperation, president who had led
a crusade against the plunderers. APP
proved it.
Not less insolent and not less illus
trative of this cohesive power among
whole band Of plunderers that brings
the power of all to resist onslaught on
one of them, was the refusal to relieve
the paper using industries of the
country from the extortionate grasp
of combination Of paper makers.
The plunderers all rushed to their
comrades defense. They had made
a committee to Investigate" which
bullied the Witnesses Of the protest

"Fresh" Eggs That Are Stale.
Maine Farmer.)

Recent conversation with leading
grocers in this city, furnished damag-
ing testimony against some of the
farmers in the territory adjacent here
20 concerning the marketing OF eggs.
The grocars in question asserted that
the practice being followed by certain
farmers is to hold the eggs produced
during the fall to market in the early
winter at the advanced price then pre-
vailing. A considerable quantity of
eggs said tn be fresh has proved nc
better than the stored case eggs. In
consequence, customers have gone to
using the case eggs with the result that
there has been "A distinctly lessened de-
mand for eggs Known to be strictly
fresh and the price has necessarily
dropped. This too, when the supply of
high-clase eggs would have been
scarcely up to demand under fair
and just mode of sale by producers.
To whatever extent such deceit is
practiced, it is bad business and hurts;
the industry as we'll as the character
of those engaging in such sharp prac-
tees. The evident remedy is for egg
producers to market their product di-
rect to private customers, where re-
sponsbility cannot be misplaced.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
The Somerset County Case.

tFo,tl;tllu preSS.)
County Attorney Young of Somerset
bases his objection to the recognition
Of the special Sturgis law attorney on
the ground that it amounts to removal
from office, at least in part, of the
county attorney elected by the people,
and that the only constitutional
method for the removal of a civil Off
Ger is by Impeachment. This appears
to De the case, in event OF cOntesting
the appointment on constitutional
grounds. Judge Cornish is not the Law
court and the Sturgis law has not been
ladiudged unconstitutional: hence as a
matter Of course he recognized the
statute and the appointment as valid.
If Mr. Young has doubt of the validity
OF the law. he should take it TO the
court by all means, though the cOnten-
ton that he has been removed from Of
flee in any degree seems rather & mar
row one, when as 4 matter of fact he Is
still in Office, drawing his salary ard
performing his duties except so far as
he has been relieved of them in the
prosecution of liquor cases.

The Bay State Flag.

In Massachusetts, perhaps more than
make a great deal of the state flag and
are planning to make more of it.
Many OF the states have distinctive
flags of their own. but they are little
used and few people are familiar with
them. How many of our readers. for
instance have ever seen the Maine flag
or know what it is? In the old times
our State flag. like those Of most of the
states, bore the Maine coat of arms Oh
a white field and such flag was
carried by the Maine regiments along
with the national colors through the
bloody years Of the Civil War A few
years ago, hOwever-in 1901, TO be
exact-a new State flag was authorized
by the Maine Legislature. This flag
has a buff ground with a green pine
tree in the center and blue star in the
upper left-hand corner. 1t is a pretty
flag enough, but is seldom seen and has
no place in the hearts of our people.
But in Massachusetts the state flag
which of more ancient origin.
flies always from the capitol and is
used by all militia organizations. In
his inaugural address this year,
Governor Guild paid an eloquent tri-
| butte to the Massachusetts flag and
made a plea for its more general use
His words are worth reading:

"king of the Buzzards."

One night in the eighties a heifer
from the Murietta ranch in Southern
California was killed by mountain
lion that lived in the fastneSs back in
the San Bernardino range. From our
camp the next day we noticed several

side. One CT the rancheros pointed
out a lone speck floating in the summer
sky. king of the buZZards," he said.
IN hour later the speck had increased
in size, and he pointed to another
speck just within the scope of vision.
The next day the old Mexican took ME

birds, but the only information 1 re-

The report that it pas rapidly fol-

Mr. Pearson. the new owner of the
London Times, controls with his new
acquisition four great newspapers IN
London, three in Birmingham. two in
Newcastle, and a large number of
magazines and periodicals. We have
in this country no such journalistic
influence exercised by any one man or
group of men. There are the Hearst
papers to be sure, from San Francisco
10 Boston, but they are all Of one type
and hardly to be compared with those
controlled by this young Englishman
Such n journalistic monopoly is more
significant in England since that
country is geographically small anu
because London exercises an influence
upon the rest Of the British Empire
which no city exercises in our own
