1HE investigation now going on IN st,
Louis before the Committee OF the United
Ststes Senate, brings cut the fact III bold
relief that the Armour beet combination
in Chicago is one Of the most powerful
monopolles in the country. It has sue
ceeded not only in controlling the butch
ering business throughout the West and
East, but by the same token controls the
sale of cattle from sll the great ranges
Having q monopoly Of the butchering
business, it becomes the only large
purchaser OF beeyes, and the
stockmen are therefore obliged to
take the prices it fixes upon
cattle, or go without sales. Five
years ago, the ranche,s got s37 head
ior good beef cattle; now they get SlI.
Yet, notwithstanding this great decline
in the price Of undressed beeyes, the
monopoly has advanced the price OF
meat all over the East Ii either owns
or controls all the butcher markets in
every city; and if the butchers revolt
and buy cattle themselves, it at once
starts shops in the town and puts the
price Of meat at so low figure as 10 ruin
the butchers or make them come TO its
terms, Then up go the prices again,
and the monopoly Tecoups itself for
its temporary losses from the con
sHmefs. This seems 10 be the con
dition of affairs the committee has
brought to light. The question is, how
TO apply an effective remedy, IL is diff
cult TO see how law can he drafted
that will reach this high-handed bnsi-
ness; but if the committee, with the
light it is gaining through this inyestiga-
ton, can report TO the Senate measure
that will break uP the combination, it will
receive the hesty approval Of the
country.

TH0sE people who think that General
own are very much mistaken, While
the grandson Of Tippecanoe is probably
not very great man, he is nevertheless
not without certaiH degree Of political
intelligence. Up to the day OF the cleo
ton he was ready TO see anybody and
everybody. Immediately upon the
closing of the polls General Harrison de-
yeloped very different disposition. Up
10 that fateful moment he was the very
soul Of courtesy. He welcomed every
body, Drumners were the beloved Of
his hear, Little girls who sent him
rabbits were the gratiiied recipients OF
gushing letters. All Hoosierdom was
at liberty TO turn itself loose On
his lawns and other premises, His
Lares and Felnates were at the beck and
call OF the most eallaW eoultryman who
ever mnnehed pumpkin pie and supposed
that he gss banquetting on the food Of
the gods Of High Olympus. The polls
once closed, Gen. Harrison announced
that his engagements were quite exi-
gent. aud that he had no time 10 bestow
upon runie rustics. He had their votes,
and that sufficed for his immediate occa-
sions. The chameleon OF the poet was
creature incapable OF change compared
to the grandson Of Tippecanee. He was
the beneficiary Of their votes From
that time forward lac could afford to dis

is THIS JAY GOULD'S TOMB?
To Cover Half An Acre of Ground and
TO he Body -Snatcher Proof


Brooklyn Eagle: There is certain
ported to be out of health, WHO'S spend
ing his summer in cheerful mortuary
pursuits. Tho architects who design
his houses and yachts for him are Just
now hard at work on the drawings for
tomb that is to be at once the biggest,
most ornate and most Thoroughly burglar
proof last resting place in this country.
1t will reach some hundred or more feet
in the air, cover nearly half an acre of
ground, require something like three
years to complete the rich and beautiful
culptures with which twill be adorned,
and the vault to contain the ashes of the
dead plutocrat is a marvel of mechani
cal ingenuity. In the first place the
p nderous slabs of granite forming the
four sides of the receptacle for the coffin
are nearly three feet in thickness. The
upper one moves on springs as smoothly
as a door, but only when certain intri-
cate combinations have been carried
out upon the lock, and any fumbling
with the fastenings by a hand that does
not know the proper springs to be
pressed and pulled awallens certain en-
gines of destruction which will make it
decidedly uncomfortable for the FUN
bier. But the hardy bodysnatcher
would have first to penetrate through
many obstacles and difficulties before he
reached the place where he could salts
factorily blow himself into smithereens
There is room inside of this well-pro-
tected tomb for two coffins, those of the
millionaire and his wife, and the collins
themselves are also being manufactured
by a Boston firm, and will cost in the
neighborhoOd of 5000 apiece. They
are made of solid mahogany seven
inches thick, carved in bold relief with
the most elaborate designs, all vari-
ously emblematic of death, and espec-
tally drawn for the carvers by Elihu
Vedder, whose stern, heavily draped
"Angel OF the Darker Drink" was ex-
hibited here last winter, its sculptur-
esque beauty making a deep impression
on the man who is ordering ali this
mortuary splendor. On the top of the
and a broad silver scroll, eXQuisitely
etched with the names and dates of the
births of the two projected occupants,
occupies place on the lid directly over
the face of one who should be within.
Every available inch of the interior
is beautitied with the cutting tools and
within is hung silken hammock made
of heavy twisted black silk and with
thick silver fringes depending from the
sides. To the interior of the lid is
fastened an ivory crucifx, copied from
one in the museum in Venice, supposed
to have been carved in the fourteenth
century. In certain stages of the dis
ease the sufferer seems to find sort of
gloomy satisfaction in preparing for
death and dwelling upon the trappings
of the tomb, but that is genenaliy while
he still feels pretty sure hope of get
ting better, and it is not as dangerous 4
sign as might be imagined.
