Heavy Fog-Through Wireless Mes
sages Many Ships Come to Aid of
Doomed People.
Nantucket, Mass, Jan. 24.-In crop
ing her way through the dense fog off
Nantucket lightship at dawn, the
steamer Florida of the Lloyd-Italian
line, bound to New York from Naples,
dealt a deathblow to the outward bound
steamer Republic of the White Star
line, laden with passengers seeking
pleasure in southern Europe and with
supplies for the United States battle
ship feet.
The steamer Florida, proving to be
less seriously injured than the other
steamer, took aboard the Republic IS
passengers almost Immediately and -
hours later all the officers and crew
Of the Republic, with the exception Of
Captain Sealby, left that vessel, Cap
tain Sealby in his gig refusing to leave
the sight Of his beloved ship until she
had disappeared forever beneath the
waves.
The Republic was on her regular
course for the outward passage, but
the Florida was 30 miles off the pre-
scribed line for inward bound steamers.
The watertight compartments pre-
vented a repetition Of the Burgoyne
disaster Of 10 years ago, and kept the
Republic ahoat for more than IS
hours. They not only kept the Florida
above water, but enabled her to re-
turn to the assistance Of the Repub-
lie after the fearful recol Of the col
iisiOn.

Editorial Notes.
By J. D. Watson.


In special message to Congress, the Fresl-
dent has vetoed the measure providing TOT the
taking of the next census.
The President declares that as the measure
gives the appointments to Congressman In
stead of under the civil service rules, it IS re-
turn to the spoils system.
AS the President has already taken away
from Congressman the patronage OF thousands
of appointments, it is not likely that Congress
will give up this small share.
So we make expect more lively word pas
sages between the President and Congress.
The Senate is pushing the investigation OF
the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron
Co. by the Steel Trust.
The investigation is aimed more at the Presl-
dent than at the illegal merger, for about the
only thing the Senate expects to do is to show
that the President gave his sanction to the
Steel Trust gaining control OF It's principal
competitor.
punish the Steel Trust
The Government is again after the Beef
Trust, and let us hope there will be no white
washing or immunity baths to officials this
time.
If private reports from Chicago are to be
relied upon, greater combination than existed
before the first investigation will be shown
Instead of obeying the law as promised, the
Trust has grown holder since the officials es~
capped Jail, and has broadened until it not only
controls the packing industry, but leather as
we'll.
Swift, it is claimed, has put up $1oo,ooo,ooo
to control the leather markets III the New Eng
land States, the States where the biggest part
of Our leather goods are manufactured.
The remedy,-the putting of hides and shoes
on the free list, and the conviction and impris
onment for.the Trust officials.
1t is estimated that the cruise around the
world of our battle-ships has cost $2oooo,ooo.
OF course, this twenty millions comes out of
the taxpayers pocket.
1t is rather an expensive exhibition when we
have to pay $2ooooooo to show lot of foreign
people what powerful navy we have.
The House has passed the army appropria-
ton bill, carrying about $o7,ooo,ooo.
The rate at which the expenses of maintain
ing army and navy increases is alarming.
In few years we will find ourselves taxed to
death to maintain an army equal to Germany's
and navy equal to England's.
We do not want and we do not need ire
mendous standing army and navy greater
than that Of any other nation
If we will attend to our own business and
let other nations alone, we can protect ourselves
without putting the taxpayers nose to the
grindstone to maintain a powerful fighting
force
The Federal grand jury has indicted Gov
ernor Haskell, of Oklahoma, in connection with
land frauds and the Governor is now under

BRYAN always speaks optinistica1ly when

A Massachusetts man, named Benjamin
Hadey, died last week leaving large estate.
BY his will, he bequeathed to President

veringly Brother Bryan chased that Bennett
legacy, and how hard he fought Benefits

from her, our respect for Roosevelt grows.
Andrew Jackson was one of the most man
ageable of men, when he was approached in
the right way Major William B. Lewis Amos
Kendall and Martin Van Buren, could do any
thing they liked with him. It was necessary to
be very deferential, and to shape the manipula-

him.

Roosevelt became putty in their hands He
told them, III effect, to go ahead and violate the
law,-they should not be prosecuted
Now see the consequences. The Steel Trust
swallowed it's most dangerous rival, thus
saving for itself untold millions of dollars in
the shutting off of competition. What the
Trust will make in that way, the people will
lose. To prevent corporations from thus rob-
bing the people of the benefits of competition,
the Sherman Act was passed And that was
the law which the Steel Trust violated, by
Presidential permission.
The immediate and direct profit to the
Steel Trust swallowing it's dangerous com
petitor, consists in the difference between
100000 and $500 900. Thirty million
dollars is the highest sum mentioned as the cost
of securing the property, and the lowest Valua-
ton placed by experts on the property is five
hundred million dollars. One estimate goes as
high as $7ooooo,ooO,

Casual Comment
Gsverner Charles N. Haskell, of Oklahoma,
was shown up as standard Oil tool last year,
and had to retire from Democratic chair
manshp Later he covered himself with glory
by vetoing Child Labor bill which the legis-
lature had passed to protect the little children
from Corporation greed Later still he tried to
put end to an investigation of his record by
arrcsting the lawyer who was making it and
Selling the evidence which had been accunu-
lated.
And now Haskell has been indicted for CON
spiracy to defraud the u. S. Government in the
matter Of land entries.
A bad egg, Haskell.
Some two years ago one of the insolent
rascals of the Standard Oil Trust declared,
while testifying in New York, that he asked no
odds of the State Courts of Missouri, and was
wholly indifferent to anything they might de
eide. Since then the prosecution of the wealthy
law-breakers has been fearlessly and ener
getically pushed that the defiance of the Stan
dard Oil rascals has been changed into prayers
for mercy. Ousted from Missouri by the judg
ment of her highest courts, affirmed by the
Supreme Court of the United States) the
in the State upon such terms will put the
Trust under complete control of the State.
The fight which Attorney General Hadley,
of Missouri, made against the Standard Oil
gang does him eternal honor. The contest was
long and tedious and bitter; he had all sorts
of difficulties to overcome there were many
discouraging circumstances to chill his zeal;
but he held on with bulldog pluck. The vic
tory he has is not surpassed in Importance
by any civic achievement of this decade.
Missouri and Texas have blazed the way %
State control of monopolies.
1t only remains for the people of each State
to choose honest courageous, intelligent men
to fill the State Offices.
One thing that every State ought to have is
drastic law against the lobbyist He is the
pest of every Statc-house He is the gad-hy
of every Legislature. He is the moral leper of
every Capital The greedy Corporations hire
him to hoodwink, or seduce, or corrupt legisla-
tors. An unsophisticated member goes up to
the legislature, meaning to do right, and he is
fortunate if he does not fall into the hands Of
the lobbyist,--who is usually the most plausi
Bile, the most agreeable and the most liberal &C
quantance that the unsophisticated member
can make.
