TRusTs.

The word "rrust" has acquired . terrible import to the ears of plebeian Americans since politicians began te ring the changes upon 1t in thelr harangues from the stump. Trusts, like the poor, we have always had with us, but under different name, They used to bo called monopolies. But whats in a name" Monopolies are difficult to doal with, They have been legislated against for 9 great many years Tn this country with in- different success, and in majority of cases with complete failure,
 Partisan newspapers publish a great deal of rot on the subject of trusts, and even though the corner in commod- ity may have originated in Egypt or tho antipedes the Democratic press point to it as an evidence of how a protective tariff fosters trusts, This silly twaddle is repeated, parrot like, frsm day to day hy papers of such reputation and standing as the New York World, which Tn recent issue gave long list of trusts whose exis- tence 1t attributed solely to tho protec- tion afforded by our tariff laws, when in fact many of the monopolieS emu
 meratad, of which We recall copper,
 lead and tin, are controlled m Europe, while others have no connection, in
 the rsmotest manner, with tho tariff,
 Gen. James r. Chalmers, of Missisippi
 to show that monepolies exist under
 free trade as well as under protection
 says; "Thers is free trade m coffee
 and yet we have Coffee Trust. There
 is free trade III coal oil, and yet wt
 have the enormous and iniquitou'
 Standard Oil Trust. There is fre'
 trado in cotton seed, and yet we have
 giant trust which keeps down tht price of eur cotton ssed.
 | The truth is the tendency in every
 branch of trade IS toward coneentra ton and one eff the most difficult prob lsms of to-day is hew te legislate tt f prevent these enormous combination of capital which enable individual and corporations to control the price
 of articles of every day consumption
 Prot. Richard T. Ely, an advocate o } tariff reduction, in his recent publics , ton Problems of To-day" says; "H : who thinks that tariff reform alon would remove monopohas and trusts } has nst grasped the A E c of politlCa l economy

Of equal importance with tho Pres idsntial election is the State contest in New Jersey, where legislature is to be chosen which will name the sue cessor to U. 5. Senator John R. Me Pherson, Democrat. Should the Dem oerats have majority in the lsgisla- ture, on joint ballot, the next United States Senate will be tia and the Vice President as presiding officer will cast the deciding vote on all party issues. In that case the duties of the presiding officer will be onsrous, and it is asserted with much reason that, in the event of the election of the Democratic National Ticket, and Tn view of Judge Thurman's physical in- firmity, he would be unable to satis- factorlly perform tho duties of that position.

On the first page of this issue we publish an account of F. X. Aubrsy's ride, thirty-ssven years ago, from San ta Fe, New Mexico, to Independence, Missouri, distance of 500 miles, the sntirs distance through a country then numerously inhabited by hostile Indi- ans, which is without parallel in human endurance. The ride was made in five days and thirteen hours without halt The first fifty miles, was accomplished at the rate of four and three-ff!h minutes per mile, and on he dashed, passing wigwams, herds of antelope and buffalo, and occasion ally train, husbanding his waning strength until the race was done. Aubrey was subsequently, assasinatsd in Joe McCure's store, in Santa Fc, by William Wlghtman, a graduate of West Point, who upon the break ing out of the rebellion Joined the Confederate army, commanded a bat tery. and was killed in the battle of Pea Ridge. Wightman was a brave man, but his disposal of Aubrey was cowardly. HO invited him ts drink and after their glasses were filled, Wightm threw the contents of his glass into Aubrey's face, binding him. and then stabbed him, to death
 Mcclure in attempting to arrest the blow was badly cut In the hand, the. evidence of which remained plainly visible until the lid of his coffin, some years after, hId it from sight.

DISASTROUS m,suSG INVESTMENTS

The St. Louis Globe Democrat un- der the heading "The St. Heus Min ing Graveyard" publishes list of 6l inning companies whoss stocks are listed on the mining beard there, and enly four of winch have proved sue cessful and whose shares have in- creased in value, the other 57 stocks having declined to almost nothing and now quoted at from 5c. 10 75c. This is certainly bad showing, and will probably work more injury to the mining districts in which these alleged mines arc located than double the sums of money obtained for the claims by the orlginal owners, very many of which were doubtless sold upon nis. representations by unprincipled men who exist in all mining camps, and are suffered to live among honest people and detraud investors who If treated fairly, would assist in tie development of the camp, but who, when they dis cover that they have been swindled, become implacabls enemies of the dis trct in which they lost their money, and often of mining in general. We sac nc hope of a reform in this respect as leng as there are geese to pluck, and the raseals who engage in the dis reputable business are countenanced | and upheld in the communities m
 which they live.
 The mining boom in St. Louis was
 the outgrowth of the great find in the
 Granite Mountain mine, in Deer Lodge
 county, Montana, the stock of which
 sold, just before the big strike was
 madS in 1885, at 37 cents, and has
 since sold above $60 per share. The
 lucky owners in that property were
 made millionaires almost before they
 could realize their wonderful luck,
 and such an interest was awakened in
 mining that the desire 10 invest in
 mines and mining stock became a per
 feet frenzy among people of all classe, 1 in St. Louis It was not healthy
 legitimate interest, however, but the
 spirit of speculation reaHimated anc
 diverted from the Board of Trade
 bucket shops and roal estate. To thu
 dlsintere&ted observer having any knowledge of mining, this blind anc
 unnatural excitement could have bu
 one ending, viz, disastrous failure ant tue loss of more money than had ac
 crued from the Granite Mountain dis coyery. Tho writer who was in St Louis during the winter of 'S5 6, pre- dicted such result, as inevitable, an, , it has come, gradually but surely,
 We believe, however, that minlni as an enterprise has come to stay Il : St. Louis, and that after the wrsck; with their signals of distress nov hoisted, are swept away, legitimat l miaiug enterprises will bs established properties will be purchased enl 3 when known to possess merit and wi bo placed under the management 0 experienced and reliable superinten l dents.

Sbicauo Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO. April 25.-There was lalf at
,;,,i4v and GOOD interest at the opening OF
husiness on change today. In the wheat
and corn pit transactions were largely III
the way of change from May over 10 lhUo
the other options and the indications were
placed on the June option. Prices opeheu
higher for grains and lower for provisions.
In the wheat pit the operators VINO are
looked to for either a break or pulSe
were not doing much. While the chang
ing trades for May over into the other III
lures had a weakening tendency ana there
were reports of light rains III some west
ern states vet the controlling influence IN
the market appeared to be the damage al
ready done to crops and the general drouth
preyaiIing. which every day tends to IN
iure crops. Experts claim that sudden
change to warm days without rain would
nut an end to all idea of even half crop
in MANY states. The Cincinnati Price
Current now estimates the percentage IN
Ohio at 80, Illinois and Michigan AT 90 ana
Indiana at 20 The market for most OF the
session did not get beyond &c advance
from last nights closing prices. The pr
mary receipts were too large. EJ3,OUO DlHh-
els, and the export clearances too small,
1000 bushels, at New York. In the PIT
trade was very largely local and OF scalp
ing nature May opened at SO25c, sold to
S1GLc. reacted and closed at Sic. June
opened at SIC, sold at 81 &c and up to S213c,
reacted to s21lc and closed at S31sc.
The situation in corn was quite interest
ing today, and is likely to become
more so as the trade approaches
Nav l. The stock of contract
corn in store here is small and when an
attempt is made to purchase for May there
is little for SALE Receipts were fair at 222
cars, with 23S cars announced for Friday.
Although the opening prices were identical
with last night, there was an upward ten
dency during most Of the session May
opened at SAC, sold at 545sc and 551s@55Ac,
closing at 55asc. June sold at 54S6 @5512c,
closing at 545sc.
There was sharp little bulge in oats
The dry weather started some buying and
this demand with buying by shorts and
also by the large holders advanced May
from 321Ec to 33c Part of the advance
was lost, however, May closing at 1919
and June at 321sc.
Provisions were slow and weaker, owing
to good receipts of hogs here and at west
ern points, and a reduction in prices.
There was no outside buying orders for
product and transactions were confined to
local traders who evinced more disposition
TO transfer old contracts from near to dis
uant deliveries than make new trades.
Prices were confined to a narrow range,
but the average was lower. May pork sold
at $l3.6O@S13. 721a, and closed at 1890
May lard sold at s.. 90@S7.95, and closed at

The monajem, or astrologer, is power in
Persia. He is recognized as a man of sci
ence, member of learned profession. The
CHIEF aStrologer is q high court officer, from
whose ruling there is no appeal, for his de-
clslons are based upon knowledge that is
communicated directly from the stars. Thus,
If he DEGREES that the asylum of the universe
must not start on a hunting expedition on
Thursday, but that half an hour after mid
night on Saturday will be the fortunate hour
he IS able to give irrefragable reasons for his
conclusions by showing that Saturn is in the
ascendant IL one case, while ON Saturday
night, at the precise time mentioned, there

Ii another astrologer is consulted, he will
give the same story. Every hour in the day,
and every day in the year, is thus worked
out as fortunate, Indifferent or unlucky in
the astrolOger's books of fate.
Besides these calendars they have as their
stock In trade plumb line, level, a celes-
tai sphere and an astrolabe. The astro-
labeS are In the form of a gigantic watch
and are often beautifully made Every large
town contains at least two astrologers, and
they are very far from being poor A Per-
sian may find an astrologer very useful,
especially if he be an officer and desires to
evade some responsibility. Thus suppose a
provincial governor is ordered to the capital
and that he does not want to go, what more
powerful reason for delay in starting than to
reply that he is waiting for fortunate hour,
and what easier than to induce the astrologer
to fail to find ones In the meantime the Of
