THE Every line of legislation now on the statute books of the Uoited States directed against trusts and unlawful trade combinations was placed there by the republicans. ; That there is not more stringent law against tbem is the fault of the democratic party. The last occasion on which the parties, as represented in congress, went on record on the trust question was on June 1, 1900. "On that day a final Tote was taken on a constitutional amendment to grant congress power to "define, regulate, prohibit and dissolve trusts, monopolies and combinations, wheth er existing in the form of corpora tions or otherwise." It requires a two-thirds vote of congress to submit a constitutional amendment to the state legislatures for ratification. The question to so submit it was lost by a vote of 154 yeas to 132 nays. Of the yeas 149 were republicans and only 5 were democrats. The tire were Campbell of Montana, Jiapben and Taylor of Massachusetts, Sciudder of New Yoik, and Sibley of Pennsylvania. Of the 132 nays only two were re publicans, Loud and McCall. Richardson, Lentz, Sulzer, Rup pert, Salmon and all the other pro fessional "trust killers" voted nay. They declined to give congress the power to grapple with the trusts. The democrats indulged in spasms of virtue for two days, denouncing the trusts, and then voted to continue them. In one of Mr. Bryan's recent speeches be gave the republican remedy as the final one he would alnpt, in case he was elected and all Other means failed. . ( In other words Mr. Bryan admits the value of the republican idea, but wants to try other measures first. He has not said what those measures are to be. Some trusts operate all over the country; others, like the New York ice trust, operate in a single city, The requisite power to reach each and all and bring them within the federal law, was denied by a margin of 86 votes, all democratic. Denouncing is one thing; doing is another. Mr. Bryan's trust denunci ations, in view of bis party's record, promise no better than the prophecies he made four years ago; and as a prophet Mr. Bryan has not succeeded The democrats made another brilliant pro-trust record during the same session of congress. Repre sentative Richardson of Tennessee, ile mo:rat, tried to assist the sugar trust by offering a joint resolution to admit Cuban and Porto Rican sugar free of duty. The remission of that duty would have amounted to about $23,000,000 a year, and the sugar trust would have benefited to the amount of at least 115,000,000 per year. The controller of the sugar trust Is Mr. Henry O. Ilaveuieyer, democrat. Mr. Richardson's proposed gift to his friend, Mr. Ilaveroeycr, was smothered in the ways ami means committee of the house. This was done by the republican members of the committee. It was also proposed by Senator Jone, democratic national chairman and Mr. Bryan's manager, to return tho iluties.pnid on I'orto Rican sugar and molasses, not to the I'orto Hicans, but to the persons who paid these duties. This amounted at tho time to l,487,8i;C. Had the schemo suo cwded. tfle American sugar Refining Cdmpany and A. S. Lasalles it Co., n part of tho same concern, would have benefited by a direct gift of 1,250,77 1. This Is the first Instance on record whero a diicct gift was intended to be made to n trust, and the democratic manager. Senator f v . a- - ... 1 James ft.. Jor.es, wished to make it. This was also prevented by the re rublicans. The money was not to be returned to the Porto Ricans, as the duties paid now are, but to the sugar trust. All the facts ai printed in the Congressional Record and are a part of American history. A Bryanite editor has a very de cided advantage over a republican in the respect that he is never hampered by regard for candor and seldom by any regard for truth. Little things like candor and fairness never worry bim. Here is the Times-Mountaineer revamping the old Bryanite fabrication to the effect that Governor Roosevelt, in a speech made at Chicago in 1894, said. "Any man who engages in a strike should be shot." The editor of the Mount aineer knows that Roosevelt has, in the most public manner, denied that he made a speech iu Chicago in 1894 or was even there, and has branded the story as "a malicious lie." To suppose that the editor of the Times-Mountaineer had never heard of Roosevelt's denial would be an insult to bis intelligence. "Well sir," said Mr. Dooley, "if they'se anny wan r-iunnin' in this campaign but me firind Tlddy Rosen- felt, I'd like to know who it is. It isn't Mack for he wint away three weeks ago lavin' a nolo sayin' that he'd accipt th' nomynation if 'twas offered bim, an' be ain't been heerd fr'm- since. It ain't Bryan f'r he's visilm' th' tombs iv th' ancesthors iv th' party, an' if be likes th neighbor bood he may buy a place there. It ain't Adly, f'r athletic spoorts ar're far fr'm his line. 'Tis Tiddy alone that's r iunnin' an' he ain't r-runnin', he's gallopin'. We invite the Times-Mountaineer's attention to Governor Roosevelt's second denial that he ever said at Chicago, or anywhere else, that "any peison who would join a strike, or go near one, ought to be shot." The governoi's denial will be found in another column of this issue. If it is not sufficiently explicit we add on our own responsibility that the story was concocted by men who knew it to be a lie, to be circulated by men who knew it to be a lie, and is now being circulated by men who know it is a lie. Do you bear that, Mr. Times-Mountaineer? Sixteen to-one Bryanite campaign ers and editors who find themselves out of a job after next month could possibly make a fortune, and at the same time learn some cold, hard, commercial facts, that would be servicable to as many as are mentally capable of receiving them if they would emigrate to Pekin where, ac cording to a late dispatch, American 5 gold pieces are selling for 112 Mexican, and the British sovereign, which is not worthies mucn as the American $3 gold piece, sells for $14 Mexican. If New York is carried by Bryan, which God fordid, it will be through tho influence of Tammany, the rot tenest'political institution that ever cursed tho earth. If Tammany car ries New York for Bryan it will be by its usual method of levying campaign funds from every brothel, every gambling den and every dead fall in the city. Is it any wonder that the religious papers of the country are unanimously opposed to the candidate whose hope of election is mainly built on Tammany's ability to carry New York? The Bryanites have one monopoly thst is doing a flourishing business these days, namely, that of endeavor ing to suppress free speech and using violence towaid republican campaign snenKeis. itui wuai cisc could one expect of a party that numbers an Altgeld, a Sovereign, a Bloody Bridles Waite and a Tillman among its patron saints? tVMaAaaWaaVJMMWMaaJaaaaV 'Bight here In Klickitat county," savs the GoMeiidiilo Ag.icullunat, "democrats by dozens are going to vote the republican ticket this year, the latest prominent acquisition to the parly being Mr. B. O. Whitbcck, one of the county's most distinguished educators and a leading democrat. HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. The New York democratic address of 184, written by Martin Van Burcn and Samuel J. Tilden, said, io referring to those who attacked the administration while the country wu involved in war with Mexico: "However we may differ at home every lover of his , country must desire that . we sboald . be known abroad as one and undivided; that being at war the only question would be, bow it might best be brought to an honorable conclusion." Further along in this address it wa$ said the men who attacked the president in time of war sought to "wound the executive administration through. the bleeding sides of the country." When Tilden and Van Buren laid down these doctrines tbey were try ing to do what many old-fashioned democrats have sought in vain to accomplish in recent years save their party from a destructive ele ment bent upon rule or ruin. Cal houn and his tollowinz, in their effort to push slavery into tho new territory acquired from Mexico, in sisted, just as anti-expansionists do now, that the constitution followed tht flag. Said Van Buren and Tilden: "The doctrine is therefore plainly stated that wherever the fl it of the union goes, it carries slavery with it it overturns the local institutions no matter how strongly intrenched in the legislation, the habits and u flec tions of tho. people, if freedom be their fortunate condition, and estab lishes in its place slavery ; it repeals the local laws, if they guarantee personal freedom to all, and author izes slavery." Tilden and Van Buren thereupon made an exhaustive review of the question, and utterly repudiated the doctrine of the constitution following the flag, and showed that congress bad full authority to rule new terrl tory as it thought best. Tilden and Van Buren said in further review of the Calhoun dogma: "Nowhere found in the constitu tion, repugnaut to its spirit and ab borrent as we have shown it to be to tne principles and convictions of the illustrious men who framed it, we are called upon to interpolate this new theory upon tho constitution as a sort of mystical common law, not implied in any particular part, but to be Inferred from the general nature of that instrument." Thus the anti-expansion dogma of today has John C. Calhoun for its author and originator, while such Northern democrats as Samuel J, Tilden and Martin Van Burcn con demned it then, as thousands of old fashioned democrats do now A Walla Walla man is selling fin ning mills in this way : If Bryan is elected tho farmer pays nothing; if McKinley wins the buyer pays toO for the machine. It looks queer, but maybe he figures that if the demo crats win the mill will be like the rest of the institutions out here in the west unable to raiso the wind. Wedding- Bella, The lunrr.'ago of Mr. Harday Allen and Miss Daisy Davidson was celebrated at high noon last Sunday at the home of the brido's parents, Mr. and Mrs. V. J. Davidson, of Endersby, llev. Mr. Smith of Dnfur officiating. The bridegroom is a prosperous young stockman of tho MatolrtH, Crook county, and a former resident of Fairfield, this county. The niarri.tge was celebrated lu the presence of about thirty friends and relatives who subsequently sat down to an elegant wedding dinner. On account of the high eeteeiu wi.h which tho young couple are regarded in tho neighborhood where they both grew up from child hood, the wedding presents were both numerous and valuable, many of them of mch a character as indicated that the donors did not want to be soon forgotten. After spending a delightful afternoon w ith the young couple most of the guests retirtd to make room for another crowd of young folkn who wished to eff-'r their congraiulatiuna and say good bye to Mr and Mrs. Allen, in view- of their leaving for their new home in Crook county. Card or Thank. Mr. and Mrs. Shirley Parker, who were married in the carnival grounds Saturday night, desire through the CiiiiOMtLK to exprepa their sincere thank t- tho people of The Dalles for the handsome and valuable collection of wedding presents generously donated them on that occasion.

Coroner Butt field an inquest Sun day at Hood River on the body of a winow, nam! Maria Sauer, that has torn eircisatUBce connected with it altogether out of the ordinary ruo of things In Oregon. The woman liJ died oa Friday, Mb instant, ten day previ ously, and bad not been buried. She was a native of Germany and had come to the United State about three year ago, in company with her five children and an elder brother named Fred Meyer. Tbey bad moved from Portland to Hood River valley a few month ago and were living on a 4iec ot rented land about eight mile southeast of the town of Hood River. The brother and ton of the dead woman bad coffined the remain and, inclosing the coffin in a tin casket which the eon made, carried the remain to a vacant (pot a short distance troua the cabin and covered it with brush. The Hood River authorities, hearing that the remain bad not been interred, had them brought to town Saturday and immediately notified the coroner. At the inquest the brother and ion testified that Ihe reason why they had not buried tbe woman was because they intended to remove to Tbe Dalles a soon as they got f80 that was expected by mail, and they calculated to take the remain with them. Dr. Brosius ex amined tbe remains, which were greatly emaciated, and testified that an anatom ical diagnosis indicated that the woman had died of cancer in the breast and a verdict' was rendered to this effect. Meyer's neighbors all say he is crazy and that his refusal to bury hid sister was in some way related to his belief that she bail died from tbe effects of wiUbcrait inflicted on her by a neigh bor. They had a cow that died sudden ly a short time ago and Meyer accuses a neighbor of having bewitched ber. He found out the witch by fixing a horizontal whirling arrangement on the end of a stick stuck in the ground, with a nail attached to the wheel and point ing horizontally. The wheel was given an impulse and when its motion ceased the nail pointed directly to the residence of the witch. After the inquest Meyer promised to bury bis sister but during Sunday night he hired a team and, stealing the body from the morgue, made off home with it. It is not known whether he has buried the body or not, but the chances are that the remains aro still above ground. The woman's age was given at 42. The brother was some years older. Constable's Long Klde. Speaking of Wasco ccunty a writer in tbe October number of the Oregon Native Son says: "It may not be generally known that when this region was a portion of Clack amas county, in the early '50a, Mr. D, Butler was constable for The Dalles precinct, and bad occasion to serve a subpoena on a witness residing near Fort Hall, now in Idaho. That was then within tbe limits of tbe county over which a justice of the pence had juris diction. Mr. Butler vividly describe his ride through this wild region with the judicial .writ iu his inside pocket, feeling not the least fear of Indians nor road agents becausn he was armed with the authority of the law. Me was then much younger than he is now. and the country was new to him. Later on, after he had become accustomed to the habits of the "wild and woolly west," he placed more reliance on Colt's latest patent or a Henry repeating rifle than on asubpiunafrom a Dalles jnstice court. "His story awakened great interest and chained the attention of hi audi ence until some inquistive individual inquired what mileage be was allowed for doing such service. This elicited no answer, and the thrilling story of a con stable serving a civil writ in Oregon ter territory, a thousand miles distant from the magistrate's court, came to an abrupt ending." Tlia It by Show. Saturday s Dally. Next to the school children's proces sion the most interesting feature at the carnival yesterday was the bAby show. Thirty-two white babies contested for three prizes of six, five ahd four dollar for the "finest," second "finest" and fattest baby. N, Whealdon and Mar tin Donnell gathered up seven Indian babies and entered them in a special race for "natives." Thd judges were selected from the Portland visitors and their identity was purposely concealed in the crowd of spectators, whilo their mimes are known only to tbe executive committee. s The first prize for the (attest white baby was awarded to Kdna Weber, daughter of Mr. and Mr?. R. II. Weber. Second prize for finest baby, George Riiesel Clair Alden, sou of Capt. and Mrs. C. M. Alden. Fattest baby, M.ty Cilson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gus Cnleen. Best Indian baby, Teg Louse, son of Mr. and Mrs. Louse, of Warm Springs. Fattest Indian baby, Aonio Wasla. The awards lo the Indian babies wore fl. 50 for the best an 1 a dollar for tbe fattest. But the mother of each of the seven Indian contestants got something that she valued far more than a mone tary prize. K..O. McCoy to&k a fancy to the fat Indian pri-winner and, un- pinning hi carnival aoavenir medal, he fa.lened it on the dri of the l.uU nn.. Thi wa a signal for the other six I IaJian mother and tbere was rru peace 1 in ramp till each ot their babies wa similarly decorated. TIMES-MOUNTAINEER SCORED. Vetera r the Civil War Think Hryaa Vaalaadlachaut. Tiia Dali-m. Oct. 14. lWd. Kuitok Chkonicli: Sikj In the Mountaineer of October Iltb I find under the heading "Patriot ism and Politic" an editorial in which ia luet tided aa alleged rpaech by a cer tain Earl Sander at the meeting of vet eran In Portland. Thi article is o full of downright misstatement (I will not ay falsehoods' that it can hardly be overlooked by any person who bad any part In the meeting held here on tbe 8th. The idea that parties "wearing the collar of Mr. Hanna" (or Mr. Bryau either) could "whip into line" any single indi vidual member of that meeting is an in -suit to every soldier io tbe land. It is abominably false, and I thick the editor of the Mountaineer entirely forgot tbe dignity ot hi position when he gave ut terance to uch a sentiment. The soldier themselves called that meeting and conducted it also. The resolutions were their own, dictated by no outside influence. Many of us served through the entire civil war and have for thirty-five years since that time fought the battles of civil life. We have learned enough by all this experience to enable oa to do our own thinking. Wsj are not in tbe habit of asking advice as to our political view. If ever we are obliged to do so, we 'will consult no green school boy or ex culonels who have given up the uniform of Uncle Sam and retired to civil iife seeminglv for the express purpose of degrading the service in which they enlisted and villi lying the government undor which thev served. The editor of the Mountaineer de scribes Mr. Karl Sander aa one whose "patriotism ia not to be questioned." do not wish to question the patriotism of Mr. Sauders, nor of Mr. Bryan ; but had I enlisted to uphold the government in a just war, which we could not avoid, worn the uniform and aided in acquir ing for the union, as a result of that war, a great and rich territory, which will for all time be extremely valuable to us, I would call it a curious kind of patriot ism that would allov me, aftar this was accomplished, to come home, take off the. uniform and start out on a crusade to undo all that had baen gained; say to our soldiers yet in the field "Take down the flag; you are working and fighting In a bad cause; retreat from the Philip pine island and give it all op to a hand ful of Tagals. Aguinaldo and Mr. Bryan are not satisfied with what you are doing. Gather together the bones of j our dead comrades, collect your sick and wound ed, and come home, leaving ail the fruit of your hardship and valor in. the field." Mr. Editor, this may be patriotism, but it is badly diluted with ingredient of a much cheaper commodity. A per son holding such ideas and trying to instill (hem into the minds of bin neigh bors may be patriotic, but he is in great danger of being mistaken for a lunatic. ' In 1863-64 we had a number of people in the United States who said "The war tia failure." They tried every means to hamper the government, to aid our enemies, to discourage our soldier in tbe field and our citizen at home. Van landingham, the most prominent and active of this party of "patriots," wa finally sent across the border into tbe rebel lines, but tbe latter looked upon him as a traitor, bad no use for bim and refused to receive him. This man, Van landingham, and bis aids never talked nor wrote more treasonably about the civil war and the administration of President Lincoln than Mr. Bryan and bis friends have about the Spanisli war and the administration of McKinley. I do not wish to denounce any person for his political opinion, but in case of war or any great danger to our govern ment, it is our doty to slay with and uphold that government as it is consti tuted, no matter what party is in power. Thip is patriotism. Any other cause will not stand criticism. If the editor of tho Mountaineer and Mr. Sanders can elect Mr. Bryan, the old veterans w ill etiil cheer for the flag. My personal opinion, however, is that some of our school bovs will be in dan ger of dying cf old age before Mr. Bryan outers tho white houpe. A Soldi ik or 1801 to 18(15. Wanted.
