The New cold csrtIficstss.

The new tendollar gold certificates will bear the portrait of the late ex- President Cleveland, and this Is a thoroughly consisteI and proper move President Cleveland was a sound money man when it cost him considerable in the way of support from his party to be so. He was not afraid to think gold" to say "gold" and, when time for action came, to support the thought and word with appropriate deeds. The great objection 10 him on the part of what was subse- quently the Bryan wing of his party was his alleged subServiency to the gold interests. Time has justified the supporters of the single standard. even if the demand for silver as subsidiary money grows greater with the needs of trade and commerce:-Bridgep Standard.

Regulation of Trusts
and Pursuit of Grafters.

The American smile of 1907 when
Judge Lands fined the oil trust $780,
100000 for taking Alton rebates GER
tainly came off July % last, when
Judge Grosscup and associates of the
court of appeals at Chicago reversed
Lands on the assumption that the fine
was excessive and not based on good
law. What the chief hunter of the big
octopus had to say of that particular
turn In the road was that the merits
of the case had not been touched and
he would regard it as a gross miscar-
riage Of justice If through any techni-
calities" the quarry should escape. The
president at once had the motion for a
rehearing made. This was denied, and
the famous case goes up on appeal to
the supreme court.
But in the meantime the government
pack was in full cry along other paths,
the chief of which led toward the dis
solution of the Standard OIL company.
