What Is the Use? The steady progress of the adminis­

tration in well-doing is the most dis­couraging thing in the existence of the opposition. After predictions that teust-busting was not to be looked for since "the trusts owned the party in

1 power-," the country is awakened to the fact of a decision that is the most im­portant since the great judgments de­livered after the Civil War which set­tled the country again firmly on ite original foundations The Attorney-General was greeted with shouts, of derision when his appointment was announced, because he had beep one of the first corporation attorneys in the Uaitefi States. Surely it were folly to commit the command pf the war to such a general.

The Pittsburg speech of Mr. Knox arrested the attention, of the country, and it dawned on the nation, that a master legal mind was at the service of the people. The expectation then created has beep realized more nearly than was toplieved "possible, and it is felt today that the finest compliments for ability and zeal are not too much to pay the first law officer of the gov­ernment. .But still all this is ex­tremely disheartening to the opposi­tion. The dream of going into a campaign shouting against trusts and proclaiming the submission of the JRe-piiblicans W" their malign influences is imdely shattered. There is nothing to .fall back on but the stale old cry of tariff reform with the former archi­tect of disaster for the preferred leader. 1

It is no wondpr that 'Senator Hanna says there is bult one name on the Re' publican side fo'r the next year's lead' ership, and that is Theodore Roose velt.. It is long since such a deter minafcion as hiSi to have a clean and vigofrous administration has been mm ifested. T'here, is a great worjt tstill to do to ibrinK the public service up to a .higher nlane of general efficiency and to work out the plans formed for the iprotection of the nation against the efforts of monopolists, -but it is the common sentiment that nothing could be more fcbsurdj than to! commit sucn task to the hands of the Germans, and Hilte, and f illmane, and Stones, and the rest of the array dominant in the Democratic parfjy. Nominations will be made against! the Republican ticket, but what's the ijtee?

Gloucester, Mass., April 21. —AH GloucMtef was happily sun>rts«d when Out schooner Sceptre, one off Gloucester ye«sels which have been Im­prisoned in the ice at Bay of Island»t Newfoundland, rounded'Eastern'jpoiflt and dropped anchor In the harbor* The last word 'from the vessels which Gloucester had received 'indicated that the fleet had been obliged by reason of arctic Ice to return to anchorage; in Bay of Islands. Captain Gahoon re­ports that the .schooner Dauntless also escaped the lee, but ,has probably gone to St. Pierre, Miqtielon, to dispotje of cargo. x ' '

In his story of 1 three month's in the ice pack Captain Cahoon says that the snow Is from twenty to thirty feet deep on the level in Newfoundland, and in ravines it Is probably a hundred feet deep, He thinks the summer season will not be long or warm enough to carry away the snow. He saw great herds of deer and caribou which had been, driven to the "coast walking on the snow and subsisting on,the tops of trees. _ Captain Cahoon says the Gloucester crews are welk.,the vessels unhurt and 4he cargoes in good shape, as t^ie weather was extremely cold' up to April 10, soon after -which his vessel, escaped frbui the ice. ••
