Why doesn’t somebody get up a hot ait trust? No one would object until next winter. “Republicanism does things.’* says a recent party platform. It does! It does! Witness the Havana postoffice.

It would place Director of Posts BatKbone in a Serious plight just now if he should be forced to give up the lingerie paid for out of the iCuban postal funds. Indiana is now in the push. Since Governor Mount refused to honor the requisition, assassins, thieves and robbers are Hocking to this state. It's nice? Very. Everybody should be ready for the census enumerator and should help all they can. His job is not an easy one, the information he collects is of the lirst importance to the country. The Press of thife city has nothing ta say about the United States Officials robbing the Cubans. The readers should know all about the big scandal. No, all connected with it are republicans. So far, the offices and the crimes in Havana seem to becontfned to Indiana men. The administration should try some other state. There is Ohio, for instance, which we all know has been shamefully neglected since McKinley took office. Isn't it about time for the republican press to stop ululating over American honesty until the stench of. this Cuban business has blown away? It is never in the best taste, and just now it is very wearisome to those who are heartsick over the whole miserable business.

The selected and slate candidates for republican nomination were in the city last week -consulting with the ‘"bosses.” The ‘‘bosses” have things fixed and are only waiting for the day of the convention to arrive when they will give the ‘‘old guard” the cold shoulder. « Republican carpet baggersinCuba were “making hay while the sun shines.” But by and by the rogues fell out and a great big scandal is the result. They were teacteng the Cubans a splendid lesson. The Spaniards done no worse. Give the Cubans an independent government. Even so good a republican as Senator Hale has denounced the postal methods in Cuba, declaring that such power was never given even to a Roman pro consul as was bestowed upon Rathbone. And yet the author of the postal cotie under which he acted : hangs bashfully in the background. The Democrat has the largest bonafide circulation of any paper in Pike county. Its list is not padded with campaign subscriptions, but is of the ^ kind that takes the paper from year to year. It is the largest paper in the county and comes at the same price of small publications. The Democrat gives nation, state and county news. Cuba seems to be rotten with corruption. It is now officially admitted that the military authorities at Havana have charged up ovef $342,000 for building a railway six miles long over level ground through public streets, paying no duties on materials and no price for right of way. This is nearly $00,000 a mile. And the war department excuses it by saying that the United States has been compensated from the island revenues. . .1.. .. .

Wharton Barker, nominee of the middle of the roaders, called on Pres* ident McKinley to know whether everything would be all right, and then gave out an interview predicting Bry-? an's defeat. No doubt McKinley prom* ised him that he would speak to Mark about that little account and see that it was settled at the first opportunity. The Cuba steal is growing and unless there is some whitewashing done forty or fifty persons should be sent to the penitentiary. But then, you know, the political pull is very strong. It is also said that several officials in departments at Washington City are drawing two and three salaries. Must be working up a big campaign fund for this fall. > „ That anti-trust legislation amendment proposed by the judiciary committee of the House, is a very pretty little piece of politics. It sets the republican party on the popular side of the trust question, enables it to bleed the trusts and at the same time it can never become a law. Thefdemocrats would be very foolish to help such a scheme along. INJUSTICE in Cuba is a funny thing. "Postmaster Thompson has had his bail cut down to $1,000 because he couldn't furnish a larger sum, and has been released, while two stampsellers who are charged with altering the books at his request, are in jail, their bail having been fixed at $1,500. Thompson must have a down hill drag with the administration. The republican anti-trust platform is very simple. First, get an amendment to the constitution, which will take only a few years and is so easy to get: second, pass ideal laws under this amendment, and. third, get an honest attorney general to enforce them. It has' never occurred to the g. o. p., that if it would get the last, it could dispense with the other two.

Thej trusts possess some curious ideasconcerning “rights." An Indiana |aw requiring factories to pay their employes weekly has just been declared constitutional- The tin plate, shovel and plate glass trusts resisted this law on the ground that the state had no right to legislate against their ‘•rights.” The “rights” they meant were the “rights" to pay when they got ready and such wages as they deemed right. Shoul4 the trust manipulators elect a governor and the legislature this fall all obnoxious laws will be swiped from the statute books. Jim Greelman, the notyd correspondent. pays this tribute to William Jennings Bryan: “I have met almost St-ery great man of my own time in the principal countries of the world, but 1 have never met a greater man than Mr. Bryan. As a rule, one finds the idealist a man of frail body, physically incapable of making a continuous struggle. But here is an incorruptible idealist with the physical strength of an ox. Nowhere ■ in the world is there to be found a more perfect combination of mind, spirit and body. The thr.ee are evenly balanced in the democratic leader-rinental energy controlled by intelligence, imagination inspired by philanthropy, virility disciplined by virtue. He seems to 'grow broader and deeper each year. His religious convictions are vital to him, but he avoids religious discussions. He seems to feelithat religion is a private thing between man and his God. ‘We are all trying to cast out devils,’ he says, ‘and each man works in his own wav.’ ”

Imperialism’s Lash. "I am as good a republican as ^he senator from Wisconsin.” said Senator Hale of Maine, replying to a taunt from Senator Spooner of Wisconsin, in the course of last Wednesday's debate on the Cuban frauds, ‘“but I do not recognize any party obligation j that compels me to consent to the proposition that everything has gone right “in Cuba." Mr. Hale had just been accused of using democratic arguments because he had dared to remind the McKinley administration of its solemn duty to fulfill the American pledge for the national independence of Cuba, because he had ventured to deplore the continued military occupation of the island by this government, and because he had unqualifiedly condemned the official ‘“fraud, peculation, cheating, appropriation of revenues, stealing. carnival in every direction of corruption and fraud” now prevailing in Cuba. It was for this that Senator Spooner attempted to read him out of the republican party. And it is to imperial proscription of this nature that Senator Hale and all other republicans who oppose the lootiug of our “provinces’* must make up their minds to submit. It is a variation of the cries of “treason!*' and “traitor!” that were hurled at all AmericaskSJftho were so bold as to lift their vo&ds against imperialism when that Roman policy was first advocated by American empire-plotters. The McKinley administration has formally declared for empire, the first fruits of empire have been corruption in our “dependencies”—it is the determination of the president and his followers

to discredit and to crush every republican who shall dare to cry out in protest. It is for men like Senator Hale and his few republican allies in the Senate to determine whether they shall be party-lashed into silence and' submission at the sacrifice of their convictions as Americans. The president and such henchmen as Spooner are forcing the issue. The result should not be entirely what they now seem to expect.—St. Louis Republic. . A Night of Terror. “Awful anxiety was felt for the widow of the brave General Burnham of Marthas, Me., when the doctors said she could not live till morning*’ writes Mrs. S. H. Lincoln, who attended her that fearful night. “All ^thought she must soon die from pneumonia, but she begged for Dr. King’s New Discovery, saying it had more than once saved her life, and had cured her of consumption. After three small doses she slept easily all night, and its further use completely cured her.” This marvelous medicine is guaranteed to cure all throat, chest and lung diseases. Only 50c and $1.00.
