.OLD TIMER SAYS COPPER MERGER
 TALK MERELY SUPERHEATED AIR

1, struggling to maintain the price at Il cents, the accumulation was unload ed" during the following four years al around 10 c,.nts.
 'T do not think it conceivable that
 sny copper combination is in process of formation which can possibly die tate the price or pro luc-t,n of ever 50 per cent of the worlds output, and this 50 per cent. while it will repre-. sent the largest single aggregation of capital in the copper industry, can not be the sole dictator to the con suming world
 ''The laws of Michigan are So dras- tic that the entire Michigan output of 240,000,009 Loubds per annum must be excluded from all consideration in discussing the scope of any new com bination. The laws of Michigan plain ly state that any agreement to regul- late the price of copper or it's output will mean the forfeiture of the char trs under which the mining companies will operate, and there are no ifs, 'ands' or buts' about it. The law is specific and uqequivocal and is writ ten in language not to be misunder- stood.
 Tt is useless to assume that the Rio Tinto or in other words the Roth. schilds can now be made to see the wsdom of agan afilatng with any scheme to regulate the output and the price of copper. Their past expert ence n ths he has been dearly bought, and again the laws of the na- tiors of the old world are mostly se- verely prohibitory concerning combii- ations of this character
 There is nothing to prevent any mine in this country curtailing it's out put as much as it sees fit. providing. of course, it does not enter into an agreement with other big producers. The latter course would be in re- strafnt of trade and in violation of oul interstate laws.
 ."The Calumet & Hecla. for ih- stance. for the past year has cur tailed it's refined copper output If per cent Notwithstanding it is mak- ing it's copper for about cents per pound. or cents per pound under the cost of the Amalgamated mines. 1t is doing more to assist the general situ. ation than any of those who criticize its failure to cooperate or come into the combination.
 Tt never helps the consumption of an article to restrict or hamper it's output sIf, for period. the price of the metal is kept at a figure that wil populsrize its consumption. there will result inevitably an expanding de- mand so strong apd so persistent as quickly to enhance the price. and this enhancement will be brought about naturally and according to the legi- innate laws of supply and demand"

DOUGLAS DISPATCH GROWS NENoMous.

An atLaek upon the State ConsoIs dated Publishing company. publishel in the Douglas Dispatch of Saturday morning is about as near the mini rum in journalism as can be found It may be that the Dispatch tried to accommodate a ten by twelve idea n two by four cranium. In any event the emination is pusuIanimoas, small in the extreme
 The morning paper tries to blame the publishers of three newspapers published in three different cities and in two different counties of Arizona for the civic and municipal policy of one of those papers, the Arizona Star Of Tucson.
 It seems to be beyond the compre- hension of the writer of the malign- ing editorial in the Dispatch that one company can own papers in several cities or even in several states and keep the policies of those papers, as to separate states, separate counties and separate municipalities and the interests Of those states, districts, counties or communities absolutely distinct.
 The State Consolidated Publishing company is doing this and is doing it successfully which is the fact that is annoying the editor of the Dispatch. The newspapers owned by this com pany have a general policy outlined on national. on territorial and general affairs. Each paper has it's editor and the editor lives up to the general poll cies outlined. In municipal affairs, however, it is different Eaca paper represents the community in which 1t exists. Each paper is working for the best interests of its own commun- ity. It is it's duty to it's subscribers and its patrons to do so.
 Does the writer of that editorial hold that the St Louis Post-Dispatch must be run as a boosting adjunct of New York City, when the interests oi the two cities differ. and must not stand for the rights of St. Louis? :? Must it be that the New York World shall be false to the interests of Goth am as compared with St Louis be- cause both papers are under the same ownership? We submit this is folly.
 Is it to be expected that the San Francisco Examiner will advocate the claims of Los Angeles and not of the Bay City, that the Chicago and New York American and the Los Angeles Examiner will never advocate anything which their home communl. ties want because they are all under the same general management We submit that the Dispatch would not expect this.
 There are only two solutions to the  question of why :his editorial attack was written One is that 1t was done with malicious intent to inture the internstioaeI. the Bisbee Daily Re view and the Arizona Star, aud the otser Is that the cranium of the writer was too small to entertain the idea that three papers under the same ownership can be run separate;y

Why | Left the Ministry.

As a minister l found that l
could not be honest" says former
country pastor in H0mdHS Hdmc

not be honest in business matters.
| could not be honest morally.
could not be honest socially. Re-
peatedly | made the attempt. Re-
peatedly the attempt ended in dis
aster." After long and bitter ex-
perience, he came to the conclusion
that the small church owes four
duties to its pastor. They are
Il. Pay up. Turn in your con-
tribution to the church treasury
with the utmost promptuess. Leave
the treasurer no excuse for running
your minister into debt.
-. Speak out. When the church
is about to choose a new pastor,
raise the question Immediately as
to the stamp Of preaching expected.
Conservative or progressive, let it
be settled then. Better hot debate
and the consequent hard feelings
than sham acquescence that keep
things smooth for the time, and
later subjects minister to a pro-
cess OF doctrinal bullying that de-
grades his manhood. II subsequent
ly there arise disagreements, see to
it that they are met not by bring
ing pressure to bear sporadically
upon the pastor, but by bringing
pressure to bear, when necessary,
upon his parishioners. By this
mean demanding that they reach
common ground on which they are
willing to stand consistently.
g. Be considerate. Refuse to
ruin your PASTORS usefulness by
heaping upon him host of un-
necessary tasks. Leave him time to
fulfil his larger obligations honest
ly-time for solid, patient, con-
scientious preparation for the pull
pit, time for the faithful shepherd
ing of the flock.
-. Be natural. The pose people
assume toward a minister is a sur
vival of bygone time, and SC is
their insistence that he practise an
artificial severity OF lie. The nat
ural, instructive attitude is that of
candor in the one matter and of
respect for his individual convic-
tions in the other.
Some day, when Christians
have come to understand that only
as these four simple rules are obey
ed can clergyman maintain his
honesty, there will result reform

Democratic County Ticket.
AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Counties Cannot License Fish Bask'
cts in Trout Streams.

Assistant Deputy Attorney Cen
eral Hargest has rendered an
opinion to Fish Commissioner Nee.
han in regard to the right OF a
county treasurer to issue a license
FOR a fish basket in a stream in
which trout are caught. In part
Mr.. largest said; You are adj
Wsed that a county treasurer can
not legally issue a license for fish
basket in a stream if trout are COM
monty fshed for and caught in any
part Of said stream, until the Board
OF Fishery Commission has first
determined that the portion of the
stream wherein the fish basket is TO
be set or used is not inhabited by
trout" In concluding the decision
the deputy decided that the fact
that license had been granted to
a man who had no righ, to it would
not interfere with a successful pro-
secution, but that in this case the
treasurer should be requested to
revoke the license.

A GIGANTIC LOTTERY.

In railroad fare aud other ex-
penses, s., 900 900 was paid ont by
those who recently played hands in
the gigantic land lottery conducted
by the government on north west
Indian reservations. The same att
.hority estimates that an additional
81 ,OOo, 900 will be similarly eXpend-
ed by those who drew prizes. Fur
ther information is that in many
cases the lands drawn are of little
value as an asset for remuneraiive
endeavor. The upshot of the whole
incident is a wide conviction that a
colossal blunder has been made by
those who were in charge Of affairs
for the government 1t has met,
as it ought to, with condemnation
Ivy the press throughout the coun-
try.
The enormous sum extracted from
the people makes of the process one
Of the most gigantic games of his

part Of the stakes. and more than
800, 900 people in the list Of the
players, puts this government lot
terry in a class by itself and places
the government officials who sat as
dealers at the head of class in
any known game of chance. 1t Is
proceeding of which all those
who represented the government
ought to be ashamed. The govern
ment cf the United States should
be IN better business. Private cifi-
zens accessory to lottery of one
thousandth the magnitude would
be sent to Jail or be made to pay
heavy fine, or both. What of the

Farmers Putting Up Notices.

Many farmers in the country are
putting up trespass notices warning
hunters to keep off their places.
This move is not made 50 much to
prevent the hunters from getting
game within thei: domains, but for
the purpose of protecting their
properties. Farmers frequently
complain OF the carelessness of hun
ters in tearing down fences, demol-
ishing other things, and creating
havoc in general. The owners of
real estate have a right to prohibit
hunting on their places, and MOTTO
es prohihitin, the same should be
regarded, otherwise heavy penal
ty is enforced.

The nomination of the Hon. {.
LaRue Munson for a place OH the
Supreme bench of Pennsylvania af-
fords unfeigned pleasure to every
citizen Of Williamsport and Ly-
coming county, irrespective OF pol.
itics. This newspaper has on sever
al occasions referred to the prospec-
tive selection Of this splendid Viii
Transporter by the convention OF
his party, and now that the nomi-
nation has been 50 enthusiastically
and so unanimously made, the
Gazette and Bulletin feels that it
can, with as much consistency as
sincerity, join in the general wave
of approval. We therefore tender
our congratulations to Mr., Munson,
and want to assure him and his
friends that the lifelong Republi-
canism of this newspaper will not
detract in the least from our hearty
endorsement Of the distinguished
honor conferred upon him by the
Democratic convention at Harris
burg yesterday.
No man in Pennsylvania is more
worthy of the high tribute that is
carried by this nomination. The
Democratic party was prompt to
realize the trend of public senti-
ment and keen enough to foresee
that in Mr.. Munscn it would have
4 candidate who by sheer force Of
character, by unsurpassed qualifca-
tious aDd brilliant attainments
would command the respect and in
sure the confidence of all classes Of
citizens. AS Republican newspa.
per, pledged 70 the support of the
Republican candidate, the Gazette
and Bulletin has no hesitancy in as
serting that if the Democratic party
has any show Of success, its chances
are much enhanced by reason of
Mr.. Munson's candidacy. So Tar
as this section is concerned his cleo
tion would cause more reioicings
than regrets among those who rec
ognize it as bounden duty 10 op.
pose the Democracy.
Mr.. Munson is entitled to credit
for being the most useful citizen
Williamsport ever produced. Every
man, woman and child in this mu-
nicipality owes him a debt of erati-
tude, for no movement was ever in
augurated having for its purpose
the good of Williamsport that did
not find c. LaRue Munson in the
front rank. He has been power
III the Board Of Trade, a worker ia
every cause in which workers were
required. and his spirit of enterprise
and energy has on scores of occas-
ions aroused others to action that
produced results. He has been for
Williamsport, first, last and all the
time, and had it not been for his
aggressive local patriotism, his in
defatigable efforts and powerful in
fuence, Williamsport would not be
the city it is today. We are salts
fed this sentiment will be voiced
by all our readers.
AS Democrat Mr.. Munson has
never been partisan, although
consistent and earnest III his politi-
cal affiliations. For that reason he
can rest assured of a most generous
complimentary vote in Williamsport
and Lycoming county, as we'll as
throughout the state.

RETURNING PROSPERITY.
No Idle Cars on Either Pennsy or
Reading,

What is generally considered in
financial and commercial circles as
the most convincing proof of the
returning industrial and business
activity was furnished lately III
the announcements made by the
Philadelphia and Reading railway
and Pennsylvania railroad that
there were no idle cars on either Of
these systems. These reports, COM
ing on top Of the knowledge OF the
remarkably rapid expansion in the
iron and steel industry, was ac-
cepted with urdisguised enthusiasm
by the believers in the returning
prosperity. While it was pointed
out that the employment of the
cars was to large extent due to
the moving of the crops, yet il was
unhesitatingly stated that the dis
appearance OF idle cars on the
larger railroad systems was positive
proof of reviving business activity.
The greatest increase in orders are
reported by railroad company sup
plies and equipment companies.
The orders received by these plants
have grown to such proportions
within the last thirty days as to
necessitate running the works OH
iull time.
