"ilie trouble with election ol senators by popular vote is tliat senators already choaon by legislature must approve the change and this, it seems, they will no do. Aa eoon rb a champion "of popular elections seta into the eenate he change hie tune. 1 is curiouB to observe that the Kuro jiean powers, which claim not to be at war with China, recently attacked and r.rntured the Peitang forts. Moat people would conBidn this an act of war bu under present imperial conditions, tliiDg arc christened by now namea. A'lut Britain has fjuiht the plucky UoerB to a standstill and can once more tube an important part in the politics of tiio world. If it were all to be done over again, it is sale to say that Britannia wou'd Iook b:fore she leaped. Uobson has come home and has al once gotten into trouble again. The man ought to be quarantined In the accounts of the late Chinese war, history will state that Field Mar shall Count von Waldersee also ran. Mark Ilanna atateB that there are no trusts. Perhaps not. Mark has been bleeding them for some time aud possi bly they have expired in the process. But there iB some thing else just as bad in their place. The Biiggeetion that Mr. Bryan may accept Mark'B challenge to a joint debate if the lat'.er is certified to as the real president in case of republican success, ought to get beneath even Mark's thick cuticle. It la to he advertised that the Kaiser's course in Germany will nut be itp to the advertisements thereof, A consignment of loot from Tointsin haB been siezed at Ban Francisco for non payment of duties. It was sent by army - and navy ofiicera tn their wivea, Bisters nuil friends, and is described as very cost ly and rich. Thus we are rapidly civil iztug the heathen. Abdul flArail lias been standing off just such requests as that of Secretary flay for thirty odd years and can afford to umilo when an nmntc-ur like our noble secretary comes up against him with bli ''splondid diplomacy." Hard on tho heels of the announcement of McKinley's intention to ecuitla from China comes the appointment of Prince Tunn, the head of the BoxerB, the man who led tho attacks on the ministers, the murderer of unproteclod Caucasian women and children, ns bead of tho im perial council .

Tbe American Steel and Wi'e Com pany of Nw Jersey wi formed J an. 13, 1899. It includes all the wire, wire rod and wire-nail mills of the country. It capital is $00,000,000, at least $50,000,000 of which is water, It is practically a monopoly. This trust, it will be ob Borved, manufactures fencing tor farmers and nails, commodities in daily use. Its predeceESor,which was an Illinois truBt bore the same lime. It was formed in April, 1898. At that time neils were selling at ?1.47 per keg. In December, 1899. tho price had risen to ?3.53. In the same period the price ol barbed wire rose from $1.87 to (1.13 psr hunureu pounds. The duty is specific, and on these prices ranges from about 10 to GO per cent, ad valorem . This increase of price was so great that consumption was checked, lue price wae forced do.vn, several plants were closed ani hundreds ot workmen were thrown out of employment. But even before overproduction and extor tion produced th'iB result, John W. Gatts testified before the Industrial Commis sion, Nov. 14, 1899, that five plants had been closed. The trust raised wages very slightly in some of its depai'.ments, but its nredecetsor trust had so lowered them that thev were less in 1899 than waaes for the same work in tbe individ nal mills comnosing the combination had been in 1890. Not nnlv were tbe prices raised and pay reduced, but foreign consumers ob tained the goods for less than was ohargod the domestic consumer. Mr. Gates testified to this. As a matter of fact, the foreigner bought American nails for one-half the price paid by the American mechanic. In 1899 Canadians bought Americans barbed wire for 55 cents a hundred poundB leBs than Amor icans paid, and plain wire for $11 a ton 1 333 . A director estimated the first year's profits of the trust at $12,000,000. This would have been more than 18 percent, on its common 6tock. The resultB of tbe firBt six months indicated actual profit of $15,000,000 more than 24 per cent, on its water. The trust continues, but it is just now i a attn of HanreFsion on account of us greed Tbe World. Tbe President is holding conference at anion with his lieutei ants over the in creasing probability that Ohio will be lost to thd g. o. p. this fall.

All but two were in excellent condition. In one of fice the postmaster could neither read nor write, and his clerk was deaf and dumb. Farmers when inquiring for mail had to either got it themselves, or write their requests on slips of paper so the clerk could find out what was wanted. From the La Grande Gbron'cle, Sept. 29: Harvey Scott, of tbe Oregonlan, was a passenger on tbe west bound train of this morning on his way from New York where be has been on business for the past three weeks in connection with a meeting of a committee of tbe Associated f reBs. ot winch he was chairman. Mr. Scott expresses himself in regard to the present political outlook as being very doubtful as to the election of McKinley and Eooqevelt, and says if the working- men ot the eaBt sho' Id go for Bryan and Stevenson they will be elected in spite of neji and high, water, it looke at the present time very much as though it would go that way. The national republican campaign rommltleehiiB (aken advantage of the franking privilege to send out severa million big poBtuI cards with selections from republican speeches made In con gress and published in the Congressional Record. The manner in which thoy are appreciated ny the public is illustrated n Albany, where the recipients regard less of politics threw them on the floo of the post office or in tbe street. The Demix ai.t man at one time counted forty five on the post oflico floor and a large niimher along the street. As eeon as their character was recognized they were thrown down without being read. The government is throwing Us money away trying to ro-o'ect Mr. McKinley this -way.

It simply wishes tho public to know that Mr. Fields is not a democrat and has not been for four or five years or more. 10 Per Out Increase. Pun.AiiRLiiiA, Sept.
