To mum up and epitomize this whole cxplati-

"MAKING" AN ISSUE.
In the recent onslaught utsm trusts, many
Democratic politician have .sought to impress
lim that wine; of the atty yet loyal to silver,
the necessity of inaugurating another issue, if
success is invited to attend their effotts. Vet
the xery idea of svekiug and fixing upon an
issue, is tcpugnant to one desiring principle
alsive .lf and conveys the idea of iuincully.
In the coming ciiinMlgn. Dctnoctncy as the
pretetidi.il destroyer of trusts, must meet uch
charges, which will lie made forcihle and
iinted hy showing up a record that ' not
conform to these Ousting ami politic itcte-isc .
Iinii.illy in Misuari will this prove true,
where the lat legislature has stani cd loveii,
the charges of not only affiliation with, hut
stiliserviencv to trust mcasiiu. To make an
Issue, means to juggle other Issues into oh
.tirity and hring forwatd a new one calculated
to enlist the mippoit of the people. Vit ll is
hardly to U-supposed that Missouri IMiioctncy.
without repudiating its Icgislatiuc. can enter
very ardently as champions of the antitrust
theory.
IlriiiKiuit a discussion of trusts down to a
state issue into which it must iuevitahly fall,
as their power must he limited In state enact

hut cvndim; an important one to the state.
There is douhle cumiiuK in this iolciit anti
trust talk, Mich as was the theme and son of
thvSt. I.ouis ktiupieterK.

of tile Jcffcrsotiian principles of our govern

DECORATION DAY.
Henceforth, li-giiining with May ,vth, of
the pri-ctit vnr. there is added a new menu
ing to the commemoration of the gmvcuof our
soldiers. The garlands of Northern lllie ami
Southern roses, which have Ken wrcnthul up
on the graw of hoth lilue and gray, interming
ling mote and mote, as time iffaccd the memo
ries of civil strife, are no longer -cctimial em
lileius. hut the cominoii heritage of lmth "Van
kee" and "teliel," who gave up their lives in
loyalty to atitiou and to state.
On another uge. ate given the wolds of
Henry Wnttcrsoti. who gives life to the souj.
mint that another era has Kill ushered in upon
our history, whin "grography is thrown into the
seas." and the I'aiific no longer holds in check
that offspring of our deep feeling cnmimut
oration of a sist evints, which has in the jMst
week not only Uett heard in our own laud, hut
across the Western Ocean in the Philippines,
where newly made graves have claimed some
of our heroes. Kegardtessof what our opinion
may lie concerning our duty In these- islands,
the war which hrought these conquests perform

all Americans so clonly as has lately ken evi
