The Interest *vlnc*d by Ih* people of Seattle In th* proposed celebration In honor of th* Washlncton volun- ' teers la fast taking on a most re markable aspect. Th* entire r.im munity, as by on* voice, la speaking In favor of making th* affair th* , greatest event In the history of th* city Not one discordant not* has been , heard, and If there ar* any dissent era among th* clttiens, they are not patting themselves In evidence. The tact has been r*aliae>l from the -in set that there la no political a»p*rt to the project. Thla point *as mad* manifest st the m**lta_ of the city council last Menday night, when the r**olutloa proposing that th' cele bration be held, was passed by un animous vole of all of the members, being mad« more emphatic by the ratlin* for aye* and noes. The question aa to what »hall ulti mately be taM with th* Philippines la in no sens* involved. It Is merely Intended to gtv* hearty expression to th* I'UblU- regard fur the men who went forth at th* call of their coun- I try to uphold the honor of the nag. ' and who bravely performed their duty. The Washington volunteers have achieved such distinction upon th* Held of balll* that their fame baa circled th* clvttUed world. la It any winder, then, that the cttlMaa of B*atU* and of th* SUM of Wash ington generally fe*i anxious to make the home-coming of th* volun teers a red Utter event in the history of the state? It wmitd be as easy to stem the Daw of the water* of Niagara aa to attempt to check the spontaneous movement la favor of a (rand ovation to the returning voiuatee ra in today's Issue of the Star will be found expressions of the viewa of aom* of th* prominent women of Se attle upon the question of the best way to r*l*brat* It will be noticed that all ar* earnestly Interested IB t making th* affair on* brltttinc Ib* I dignity and Unportanc* of ih« occa sion. Ther* would be slight objection to' th* formation of trusts If their real objects wer* tho*« set forth by the men who or«ani«e and uphold them. j If economies In production an ! dis tribution b* th* sol* ends to be at tained, who would Insist that Jon**, i flmtth and Robinson ah.-uU he pre vented from comblnlag to produce Jointly th* merchandise which they had previoualy produced aina-ly ar. 1 severally; It Is when Jones. Smith and Robinson make us* of effected economies. Brat to get possession and monopoly of th* markets, and afterward to deny to th* consumer th* advantage which h* might ob tain from competitive production. that they become public plunderers, and rightful appeal may b* mad* to th« slat* and f»s*r«l power tor pro- | tection. The right of men to associate to gether for a common purpose so long as that porpos* b* not contrary to public policy Is past dispute; but th* trusts have carried th* principle if combination too far. They have mad* of It th* opportunity for rob bery: and th* country Is now brought fac* to far* with th* ques tion of how to restrain their opera tion* within such bounds as to reap th* benefits which accrue from ag gregation* of capital and effort with out Incurring the Injuries artslag thorrfrom.
