ON THE RIGHT HIDE,
Democratic editors are laboring
bard to convince themselves that the
republicans leave appropriated the
principles promulgated In the dem
ocratic platform of 1896. They claim
that the people are now applauding
Roosevelt because of his stand for the
very principles advocated by the dem
ocrats In 1896.
Everybody who took even the
slightest interest In the campaign of
1896 knows full well that none of the
politics of the present day entered
Into the heated discussions of that
campaign. That was distinctively a
“money” campaign. Single or double
standard was the Issue, and free silver
and the gold standard was on every
body's lips. Republicans took the
position—and won out on It—that
there could not he two standards of
measurement of money value. The
general and widespread revival of
parallml Industries following the
vindication of the sound money policy
and the repeal of the Wilson law has
been the most phenomlnal in the
history of any country.
That the lapse of ten years should
witness some new political Issues is
natural. Federal control of large
corporations, railroad freight regula
tion and anti-pass legislation were
not made Issues during the “cross of
gold” and “crown of thorns” cam
paign. They are Issues today. The
republican party stood on the right
side of the slavery question; It stood
on the right side of the tarllT and
money questions; it has guided the
ship of state clear of dangerous break
ers for fifty years, and with a brave
and great leader now In the White
House It will continue to deal wisely
with public questions.
UOV. M1CKFY AGAINST THREE
OFFICIALS.
Governor Mickey Is not down and
out Just yet. And now Is the op
portunity for him to play his hand.
The people are In the mood to listen
to any kind of a story that impugns
the character of an otllclal or brands
him as a railroad tool. The governor
Is after the scalps of Secretary of
State Galusha, Auditor Searle and
Commissioner Eaton, all candidates
for renomination. Each of these
three olllclals as members of the state
board of equalization opposed any
advance In the railroad assessments.
Now, naturally enough but wheth
er Justly wo can not say, the charge Is
made that they are allied with the
railroad Interests. They have been
worthy olllclals in the administration
>f their respective olllces, but the fact
that they voted against an Increase of
the railroad assessment will ally them
with the railroads In the minds of
many people, regardless of whether
their votes were prompted by honest
convictions.
However, the governor Is not free
rrom the suspicion that he Is doing a
little grandstand work and taking
advantage of the times to vent his
porsonal spleen.
REACHING EPFBOTIOE STAGE.
Sioux City Tribune: Slowly but
surely the crusade against Illegal com
binations Is reachsng the eltective
stage. The government forced the
paper trust to dissolve, it is gaining
ground against the tobacco trust,
Arkansas has made the harvester
trust pay a big line, Nebraska has
checked the oareer of the grain deal
ers’ combination and the United
States attorney general and Ills as
sistants are busy with the crusade
against the Standard Oil company.
The latest advance in the "busting”
methods Is reported from St. Louis,
where Judge Ryan of the circuit
court has decided that a purchaser of
goods from a concern which is a
member of a trust does not need to
pay for them. This decision, if sus
tained and followed as a precedent,
would make the business of combined
concerns extra hazardous because it
would be impossible to collect money
due them. The decision is probably
based on the theory that a concern
which outers into a contract in re
straint of trade is an outlaw. Any
contract Involved in such an agree
ment could not be enforced.
These appear to be the halycon
days for the trust buster since the
same day’s dispatches convey the in
formation that a Toledo judge has
sentenced live prominent business
men who were in a combination to
rywitrol the price of ice to a year each
in the workhouse, subject to mitiga
tion if they agree to restore to con
sumers what they have collected in
excessive prices. Tiiey must also agree
to sell ice at the prices which pre
vailed before they entered into a
combination.
The enforcement of the laws avainst
restraint of trade generally might
bring about similar results. Many
communities have combinations
among coal dealers, lumbermen and
venders of other commodities. If the
St. Louis decision is combined with
the Toledo precedent, combinations of
any kind whatever will fall into dis
use.
CONTEMPORARY COMMENT.
“Dr. Gllligan of O’Neill for United
States senator,” says the Atkinson
Graphic. “That seems to be the pre
vailing sentiment in this senatorial
district, which the Graphic heartily
endorses.”
The Rushvillc Recorder notes as an
other sugnilicant move in the matter
of righting public wrongs is President
Roosevelt seeking authority from Con
gress to withhold all future govern
ment lands containing oil or coal from
the hands of private speculators. The
object of this is to protect the public,
and if successful will he one of the
most radical steps taken by our gov
ernment to deal with strikes and un
fair competition in the handling of
these public utilities.
The Shelton Clipper expresses a well
grounded fear when it says: “Let the
convention fall to nominate a candi
date for the Uuited States senate, and
there will be such dissatisfaction
that it will i»e doubtful ifasingle man
on the state ticket is elected. The
people have declared for the nomina
tion of a candidate for United States
senator by the state convention, and
they won’t be put off without it. If
there is any one thing the coining re
publican state convention can do that
will please the democrats it will be a
failure to nominate a candidate for
senator.’’

Ocean, Chicago, 111., who were appointed to pass on all names,
felt tllat nothing else was quite so good as this, though there
were thousands of mighty good ones. Some of the names
l suggested could not be considered, as they were already in
nNkiuA use by other brewers; others were repeated so often that,
had any of them been selected, it would have been impos
| sible to determine to whom the prize was to be awarded.

Princeton, N. J., Wednesday, June

winning high honors in the field where
talent, capacity and work are the
foundations of success.
Lock-Level Canal.
Washington, June 27.—The vote in
the senate on the subject of type of
I’annama Canal proved to be a very
great surprise in both branches of Con
gress. Ten days ago tlie majority for
the sea-level type of canal in the sen
ate was pronounced. The action of the
house about that time in restricting
tlie use of money appropriated for the
canal to measures looking to the con
struction of a lock-level type of canal,
had its inlluence upon the minds of
some of the senators.
It was thought that the people of
tlie country would not sanction much
more delay in reference to the work on
tlie canal and would blame the senate
for permitting the great question to
i go over until the next session of con
, gress. Since that time there has been
constant change in the sentiment on
the subject in the senate. During
that time all the speeches in favor of a
lock-level canal were delivered.
It will be remembered that Senator
Millard, chairman of the senate com
mittee on Interoceanic-canals, has all
along been steadfastly supporting the
administration in its contention for a
high level canal. His report of the
views of the minority of his commit
tee to the senate was regarded as the

Millard, but Senator Dryden of New
Jersey and Senators Hopkins and Cul
lom of Illnois as well as Senator Knox
of Pennsylvania and Senator Perkins
of California, dea't sledge hammer
blows in opposition to the sea-level
type, in their speeches in the senate.
Meantime Chairman Millard work
ed unceasingly with Senators who had
not given the subject careful attention
pointing out to them the salient rea
sons why a lock canal would best serve
the interests of the country, and his
efforts were crowned . with success
when the vote was taken on Thursday
afternoon. Senators on the floor,
members of the Isthmian canal com
mission, and many friends lost no time
in congratulating Senator Millard up
on his success in conducting the fight
for a lock-level canal and in opposition
to the sea-level project. The senator
also received many congratulations
from constituents who have watched
his course in respect to this legisla
tion and who expressed gratification
at his firm stand in accord with the
administration, and his effective work
on the floor and in committee in be
half of a measure whose strongest sup
porters in the senate only a few days
ago regarded as hopelessly lost.
