UThe people of the United States have
officially endorsed the sentiment that
TRUSTS are private Affairs with which
the public has nothing to do but 1t is
worthy of notice tina, the trusts them
selves had much to do with securing such
decision. Those powerful combinations
have very efrectually wreaked their ven
reance against nearly every Democratic
member OF the House Committee
on Manufactures, who took the lib
erty OF investigating them, or in
terfering with their private business
Here is list Of some few OF the vic

tee who offended the sugar trust, was
beaten. Henry Smith Of Milwaukee, an
other member of the committee who Of
Tended the Bessemer steel combination,
WAS also retired TO look after his own
affairs. MIR. Wilson OF West Virginia,
another member who presumed to DIS
turb the private affairs of the tarlii leo
trusts and monopolies generally, hasper-
haps pulled through, but by largely re-
duced majority, Notwithstanding that
all the force Of corruption was
used to compass his defeat. Mr.
Mckinney of New Hampshire, another
member who invoked the vengeance OF
the trusts, was beaten only by The eN'
pendilure of large sums of money, as
was John J. O'Neill Of Wisconsin and
John Lynch OF Pennsylvania, toward
both of whom the monopolists had an
especial grudge.
Ii is also announced that Mr.. Breckin-
ridge, Of Arkansas, had also given deadly
ofIense to the trusts as member OF
both committees, and his defeat was in
their programme. They sent large sums
OF money into his district, but IL elther

Chairman Mills Of Texas, Breckenridge
of Kentucky. McMillin Of Tennessee,
Turner of Georgia, and Bynrm OF In
diana. members of the Committee on
Ways and Means, were not within reach
OF the trusts, and their scalps cannot be
worn at the belt OF monopoly. But the
trusts have compensated themselves 10
some extent by defeating Rsyner of Bal
timore, who had made himself particu-
lsrly obnoxious by intermeddling in their

Thus it looks at the very outset OF the
new Republican administration that be-
fore its end the palmy days Of Grantism
will have come sgain.

BUSINESS NOT POLITICS.

The main spring in the feelings and
actions OF the Southern people is the de-
sire TO be let alone and allowed to recu-
perate the ruin Of war by following their
private affairs. All the aim of politics
has been in that direction, and at this
particular moment we feel 1t with In
tensified force The experiment has been
tried with Greeley, with Hancock and
with Cleveland TO make trial OF the spirit
in the North towards conservatism and
patriotic reconciliation.
All that the Southern Democrats get
in return for 1853 electoral votes is a
decision against them, and that decision
rendered by New York ring that values
local plumber and patronage more than
the great principles of free government.
Now we know that there is vital prin-
ciple in the cause of Democracy, and that
besides general doctrinal points of free
government with offices held in trust by
trustees and servants" of the
people. there is still the present
burning issue of high or low
taxes, and this issue will keep on burn
ing but supposing all the Southern
democrats 20 be thoroughly patriotic on
the ideas Of Democracy, what can we do
II the North does not see II and lets the
battle go 10 the heaviest battalions OF
monopoly and money: II the Carne-
gies and such have by common consent
the royal bounty of monopoly, which IS
the profits OF all the industries OF the
country, in the hands OF the few
barons, of course The barons will put up
all the doodle" necessary to buy the
Presidency again, and yet again, unless
there is more earnest popular feeling
in the North than now. Therefore, If it
IS true, as stated in many quarters North,
that the "Rebel question of Solid
South settles it every time, the first point
for the Southern States is TO let the
North understand that they must settle
it for themselves between the monopoly
"barons" and the people, with all the in
cidental difficulties with the working
men.
The South has been counting 1913
votes and at the same time giving to
Northern Republicans handle to work
popular option with
The conclusion is that the Southern
people had better devote themselves TO
business and take so much of politics as
will keep a connecting hold on local,
State and municipal governments.

A Desperate Convict.
DUNLAP, Ia, May 1S.-Last evening at
$50 Tom Jones shot his wife in the nose,
the ball passing through the head. The
deed was ~unprovoked and the natural
outgrowbh Of an ignorant mind. Jones
fed to the street and sent q ball through
his head. A posse was soon organized
and a detachment of determined, law
abiding citizens started in quest of the
offender, with the intention Of administer
Ing Justice In a rapid form, but on reach
ing the scene OF the shooting it was
found that he had nearly completed the
work. He was removed from the street
to his home. Medical aid WINS summoned
and every attention possible was given
him. He cannot possibly recover, but
there is some prospect for his wife.
The same man attempted to kill his
wife last week while She was visiting a
neigbbor, but was prevented by the in
reference of friends. The deed is the
outgrowth of an old family feud, the
couple having separated four weeks ago
on account of incompatibility of temper,
siEce which time Jones has continually
annoyed his wife by following her, MAX
ing threats and using vile language. The
people are well connected. Mrs. Jones
has practically supported her worthless
spouse for a number of years. Public
Indignation runs high.

Potta round Guilty.

Dies MONIES, Ia, May 1s.-The jury
hearing the case of Constable Potts,
charged with taking q bride, brought in
a verdict of guilty. Potts is one of the
prohibition searchers who have had most
to do with closing the saloons. But as
ISOLATED with two or three other con-
stables, the gang pursued such methods
as to bring prohibition into disrepute.
The charge upon which he has been con-
victed is, that on the 4th Of February he
accepted 800 from a wholesale liquor
dealer as a bride for having his goods re-
leased from custody. The prosecution
swore that ty marked the bills which
were found upon his person a short time
after the money was paid him. The SEN
tence for Potts offense may be six
months In Jail and q fine of $500, Two
of his associates have been indicted by
the grand jury and are awaiting trial.
