The senator had the “grip” on the Republican machine for fifteen years and always rather liked it and couldn’t be driven to let go. We fp np WAR has now been declared by Tur- key Greece, . The Greeks crossed the frontier and had a brush with the Turks. The Turks bombar- ded the fort at Actium and Greek gun- boats silenced the batteries at Shafida- ki. igainst rte iensie Wheat has gone up over 4 cents in the past few days, owing to unfavora- ble erop reports and the war clouds in Europe.

One of them declares all trusts illegal and void, authorizes the president to suspend by executive or- der the collection of all levied upon any imported article the home product of which is controlled by a trust. The Republicans of the house rejected by a unanimous vote an amendment of this kind, the Demo- erats and Populists voting for it. We would not be surprised if such an amendment prevailed in the senate. and duties It is announced that the policy that has been practiced heretofore in the distribution of offices will be followed by this Administration, and the pre- rogatives enjoyed by Representatives in the past will be continued.

It is all very well | to respond, as Mr. Dingley practically did, “Let them retaliate,” but with | foreign powers buying from us well on | to four hundred millions of dollars more than we buy from them, it comes a very serious question for Ame- rican producers. The French minister in addressing the chamber | the other day served notice that if we | do not propose to buy anythiog from | France, France will not buy anything | from America. As result of the | Dingley bill are we to enter on a com- mercial war with the best part of the | civilized world? It that says the Pittsburg Post.

WHY HARD TIMES 7 There is one explanation of the hard times common enough, and that is the lack of purchasing power by the peo- ple. Whence comes this?
