IN GENERAL

TT-tji j ;. Ex-President Cleveland is recovering from a severe attack of rherimatism. The trustees Of the Northfield Seminary have issued an appeal to the world for $3,000,000 to carry on the institutions founded by Moody. The Secretary of the Navy has arranged for the sale of the collier Scipio to Ludwig Rubell of Philadelphia, at $41,550, and for the sale of the naval tug Rocket to James Tregarther & Son of New York at $1,123. Word has been received at Washington that the Mexican Government has abolished the export tax on coffee. This is expected to have a considerable effect in the United States by increasing the receipts of Mexican coffee. It may be decided to increase the number of troops in Alaska on the ground that the constantly increasing population demands additional protection. Reports indicate that the rush next year to Alaska. especially to Cape Nome, will be large.- It is likely that one or more additional posts will be established, one doubtless at Cape Nome. Bradstreet’s says: “Holiday quiet and stock-taking impart an appl’arhnee of dullness to general distributive trade, broken, however, by fair activity in reorder business to-fill up stocks depleted by the heaviest holiday trade that has ever been experienced. Following the flurry in money, stocks and in sortie lines of speculative commodities, noted last week, has come, as was expected, a more cheerful tone and a firming up of quotations is noted in sufh staples as cotton, which was affected by last week’s money developments, and also in hog products, coffee, copper, tin and lead."

POLITICS OF THE DAY

DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINEDemocratic leaders of the House of Representatives have formulated a series of resolutions which give a terse expression of Deipocratic doctrine on the iritiestion of expansion. It Is quite probable that this expression will be accepted by the Democratic; paj-ty as the best presentation of Democratic thought and that the issue against imperiailsin will 1 be- joined on it. Condensing these resolutions, they may be given as follows: < “The independence of the Philippine republic,” . < r ,* . “Home .rule under American counsel and< protection. . >*'. ;>I • i , “No -slavery on polygamy., as guaranteed by McKinley In the.Sulu islands, with pensions to Moslem despots. < ’Naval and coaling stattfins to be ceded’to-the United States.; ,f<t r “The Flitplnio republic t> ; repay to the Uiilted States the twenty millions we -phld Spain finder the'Paris treaty.” ' Those propositions coatain in a ntit*ahell fhp; broad ,; Americanism which should characterise all expressions of opinion concerning the question of expausidn- ui- • ' There is no imitation of British imperialism, no greed, for territorial enlargement at the expense of justice and no aptagpnism to the doctrines laid down in. the declaration of independence. I! , This expression of opinion follows the teachings of Washington and .Teffer son. is opposed to McKinley and his base imitation of European methods and .furnishes’ -common ground upon which all men who love liberty and desire justice can stand in the campaign of 1900.—Chicago Democrat.

Evading the Trust Law. XVben the Addystone case was de Hided by the Supreme Court of The UniStates if was believed that a severe blow had been given to-Hie trusts. It now develops that the trusts have devised a method of evading the taw. That the Sherman anti-trust law affects commerce has Been stuply demonstrated and the Supreme Court rule cannot safely be defied, but it can lie eyaded. This fact has lieeu taken advantage of by the Tobacco Trust, which proposes to go out of interstate business, but to continue to do business-just the same. If jobbers in tobacco want to deal in the Continental brands of tobacco at the old rates, they can do so. although the trust annoiiuces that it lias gone out of interstate business. A circular announcing this decision has been sent out by the trust, but the same mail brought with it a circular from an agent who offers to till the orders at the usual rates.

This circular adds that in order to obtain the needed supply it will be necessary for the jobbers hereafter to order through him. The Tobacco Trust has its headquarters in New York. So has the agent. The trust turns its whole product over to the agent, that is to say. should the trust be asked it will tell ,»u It doßs no business otltside of the State; that it sells its whole product iu the State Of New York, and Is therefore not amenable to the interstare commerce laws and regulations and incidentally that the decision in the Addystohe'Case’ does not concern it In the least, as it does no business outside of New York. State. Certainly this is an ingenious scheme, but it remains to be seen whether it will work successfully. There can be no doubt that a plain evasion of the law is attempted. XVill the courts sustain it?

Concerning Currency. Let the Republicans in Congress do most of the talking. Democratic members ean place themselves oh record, but they can’t change the vote, and if the Republicans an* let alone they wtfl get into a .first-Hass row among themselves. , , In addition to a Republican fight in Congress the Republican newspapers will have a combat and out of it all will come light and assistance for Dernocracy. Already has the New York Sun thrown its hat in the ring and asked Reptiblicaji currency tinkers to step on the tftll of ite eoftt. And yet the Sun Is a gold advocating journal ami an organ of the administration.. The Sun overhauls Congressman Overstreet for ignorance on the subject of money. Overstreet made the report of the <*ommit,tee which,produced the currency bill at Atlapto dity ami opened she discussion of the Subject in the House. Mr, Overstreet said that the Secretary of the Treasury, “by a single order directing the use of wilver in the discharge of our obligations, may completely destroy the parity and shift the standard to the metal bd used.” »• “This is sheer nonsense.” says the Sun. “The Secretory of the Treasury has no more use the metgl silver to the discharge of our obligations than he ba.s to use the metal goldHe can use only gold coin or sliver eo|n. I ®‘ ' 'Nothing but unfiinlted free silver coinage can reduce the value of ote silver dollars to their Value as metal,, and Mr, betrays on tje sub ject an ignorance of fact and of law, which to a leader in Congress is ludicrous, n 0 to s«y. disgraceful.” Twfe is ajl and quite lovely.
