StoutBvlllo (Mo.) Banner: Attorney
Gonoral Knox flays tho administration
is satisfied with tho anti-trust legisla
tion. It is easily satisfied.
Paulding (0.) Democrat: The
Itoosevolt-Knox conception, of public
ity for trusts is evidently something
-tfictly privato and confidential.

Anolca (Minn.) Frco Press: Tho re
publican party is introducing gag rule
in tho Philippines. If successful there,
it will bo put in practice in the United
States later.
Sharpsburg (Ky.) World: Tho dem
ocratic party will nominate a man for
tho presidency whoso domocracy need
not bo cortiflod to by tho republican
organs and leaders.
Stoubonvillo (0.) Gazotto: Hanna
has a follow-feollng for Addicks which
is but natural. Hanna had a little
of tho Addicks sort of exporlonco
about fivo years ago himself.
Tiffin (0.) Advertiser: Knox says
the so-called anti-trust law suits him.
That boing so, it follows that it suits
tho trusts, or thoy would not have
permitted it to becomo a law.
Auglaize County (0.) Democrat:
Tho mlik and water laws passed by
congress to control tho trusts sug
gest tho words "secretary for tho cor
porations" as a fitting titlo for tho
now cabinet officer.
Chillicotho (0.) News-Advertiser:
And tho United States steol corpora
tion goes right on gobbling up the in
dopondont mills. If it can't gobble
them it crushes them. Yot tho Elk
4ns bill is now a law. ?
Linnous (Mo.) Bulletin: Demo
cratic principles, honestly enforced,
insure a fair chanco to tho working
people tho real people. It seems to
us thoy never needed a fair chance
more than thoy do right now.
David City (Nob.) Press: Tho chair
man of tho Indiana stato centrai com
mittee says David B. Hill will bo a
candidate for president. If ho,is nom
inated there will bo a great many oth
er "democrats still -very still."
Lowiston (111.) News: It wo wore
giving advice that wo knew tho nation
would accept, wo would say: "De
stroy tho trusts and the nation will
rise Phoenix like from tho ashes of
tho past 'seven years, and blossom like
& roso."
Youngstown (0.) Vindicator: The
Fifty-seventh congress managed to get
rid of about two billion dollars of the
ipublic'8 money. The taxing of people
through protective tariff, which raises
a good revenue, is a temptation to be
extravagant in expenditure.
Hastings (Nob.) Democrat: If tho
money question is dead, wo are unablo
to account for the dozen or more finan
cial bills introduced in the laBt con
gress to remedy the evils existing.
"Why should republicans seek to
change a good financial system, re
publican made?
Moulton (la.) Sun: Attorney Gen
eral Knox says the administration Is
satisfied with the anti-trust legisla
tion. Of course It is. President Roosevelt-is
a candidate for re-election and
.cannot be expected to do anything to
injure tho corporations to whom he
looks for next year's campaign, funds.
Mansfield (0.) Shield: The lobby
Icept at Washington by the trust mag
nates is entitled to hold a jollifica
tion, now that congress has ad
journed, for it certainly succeeded In
preventing the passage of any legisla
tion that might ombarrass its employ
ers. Tho trust magnates no doubt ap
preciate tho good work and will bo
liberal in fixing the stipend.
Van Wert (0.) Times: The differ
ence between the republican party and
tho democratic party is that tho re
publicans are fearful of hurting the
trusts they care nothing for tho la
boring man whilo the democratic
18rtY. is tho friend of tho laborer and
and beliQVLlargely of laboring men,

Tiffin (0.) Advertiser:
anti-trust laws and continuing the1
Dingley tariff law, the mother of
trusts, shows how congress intends to
continuo fooling tho public. Trusts
cannot got along without the aid of a
high tariff to protect them from out
side competition, and give them the
"home market," so that they can con
tinue to rob tho American consumers
of trust-made products.
Boono (la.) Democrat: We desire
t) add that tho democrats who have
tho best right to name the next nom
inee of tho party are they who stayed
with the party through thick and
thin, and did not desert it when in
its greatest need. Those fellows who
remained away in the last two cam
paigns aro welcome back, but should
be satisfied to occupy tho mourners'
bench for a little while? at least.
Lawrence (Kas.) Gazette: A re
publican organ remarks that the dem
bcratic party of late has done noth
ing but obstruct. And when you come
to think of it, a better work could
hardly have been done. Had it not
been for the chunks the democrats
have been throwingunder the wheels
the republicans would have run tho
government band wagon over the bluff
and into the river before this.
Minden (Neb.) Courier: The Kan
sas City platform if put in operation
would be a staggering blow to "spe
cial privileges," and those enjoying
"special privileges" will resort to any
means to keep it down. Cleveland is
accorded a degree of respect, not that
they admire him any more than they
did several years ago, but every addi
tional follower of Cleveland makes
one less to rally around tho Kenans
City platform. Every trust magnate,
every coal baron, every railroad king,
abhors that platform, including Mr.
Cleveland and Mr. Hill.
Aurora (Neb.) Register: That a
high protective tariff fosters trusts
and gives them a power to advance
prices, exorbitantly, is evident from
the report of Prof. Jenks on "Indus
trial Combinations in Europe," made
by the industrial commission in 1901.
Not only aro there fewer trusts in
England than in any other great man
ufacturing country, but the few have
little water in their capital and are
practically powerloss to control prices
1 uua auureruecK's "index" table shows
that in December, 1901, prices in Eng
land were only 6 per cent higher than
they were in July, 1896, and that thoy
declined 5 per cent in 1901, while they
rose about as much hero.

Nashville News: Delaware has got
rid of Addicks, but is still under the
dominion of Addickslsm.
Augusta Chronicle: Tho Chicago
Evening Post thinks that Addicks de
serves a term but not in the senate."
Well, wo can live in hopes.
Houston Daily Post: The man who
has got Addicks' place may not be
any better than Addicks, but it's a
cinch that he isn't any worse.
Buffalo Courier: Former congresses
have done too much. The one which
expired yesterday did practically
nothing, and did not do that decently.
Milwaukee News: However, the free
and untrammeled American citizen
hasn't yet been enjoined from think
ing so long as ho keeps his thoughts
to himself.

story that he has offered a million
dollars for a stomach, denies it with
such vehemence as to indicate that
his spleen is all right

the Venezuelan navy; but she omits
to call on Pekin for testimony that
civilized nations will not tolerate
looting. -
Springfield Register: President
Eliot, of Harvard, declares it "a ter
rible misfortune to be . born rich."
Mr. Carnegie declares it a disgrace to
die rich. Between the two, however,
some people manage to find satisfac
tion in having a small surplus.
Atlanta Journal: It has been de

Houston Post: Her serene alti
