ANOTHER COMBINE"

This is the age of "trusts" and "com
bin s." We have trusts controlling
coal, oil, whisky, sugar, salt. and vsri-
Gus other articles, AID now comes in
formation of a scheme in the northwest
10 form a union" among the Wholesale
grooers for regulating the price of sugar.
A Milwaukee firm is said to be at the
head of the business, and it is sending
circulars to the wholesale grocers
throughout the country. A committee
appointed for the purpose is to tele-
graph every day to each member of the
association the price to be asked
for sugar, AID any departure
from that price is to be
punished by severe penalties. In
each section of the country there is to
be committee to investigate firms re-
ported as cutting prices. The circular
goes on to say ITO avoid this cutting,
it would be no difficult matter to ar
range with the Sugar Trust, as well IS
with refiners not in the trust, that they
will sell their product only to members
Of the association. This would compel
every one TO join and at the same time
bind every one to live up to the rules
There is to be a cash deposit with the
treasurer by each member, equal 10 one
per cent. of the total sales per annum
of his firm.
One grocer who received the circular,
says the association would surpass IN
power and extent any monopoly yet
formed, and that millions of dollars
year would be paid by the consumer to
the pool in increased price of sugar.
When it comes to forming "tru, ts"for
putting up the prices of staples and rob-
bling people in what they eat tits time for
people to make themselves heard in n
more effective manner than by merely
protests. Legislation should bs in
voked to prevent these monopolIes and |
punish the greedy fellows who combine
to make dearer food in order that they |
may grow richer at the expense of the
suffering many. The trusts sra ugiy |
things to leRislate against, and princi- |
pies may have to be strained in making |
laws for their suppression. but it some
times happens that evils are so grear
that heroic measures are necessary for
their cure.

occurrence. Every newspaper man is
familiar with such announcements
as these, which come along with the re-
gularity of ordinary news: The wires
are down between and ""Wires
are working badly and report will be
light Report will lie light Tonight, as
all wires are down east of-"-and SO
on.
The country is too big and its news OF
too much importance in all walks OF
life to jeopardize communication on the
strength of a slender wire suspended in
mid air on rotten pole. Something
must be done to secure the Business
and the reading public against the con-
stantly recurring accidents to weak and
imperfect telegraph construction. The
community cannot afford TO depend for
its news on the kindness of the winds
and the snow.

BURY THE WIZ Es.

The recent severe blizzard throughout
the east should result in the inaugura-
ton of better system than that now in
existence for the transmission of news
by telegraph; in other words, it should
cause the laying of the telegraph wires
under ground where they cannot be af~
fected by storms and atmospheric dis
turbances. For days the commercial
metropolis of the nation was cut off
from communication with the capital
of the republic, and with other cities
and other industrial centres. In the
stock exchanges. time contracts were
held in allegiance by mutual consent,
and there was practically a suspension
of busiuess in the commercial commun-
ity. People could neither sell nor buy,
because they were unable,s to-
learn about prices or values.
The newspapers were without news
of important events. The movements
of railway trains were unknown by
superintendents and CONSERVATION was
everywhere. The amount of suffering
and interference with travel and com
MERGE by the collapse of the wires was
immense; if it could be counted by dol
lars it would run into millions. 1t is
believed that the actual cost by the
storm was equal to the cost of burying
the wires between Washington and
New York. If storms were of rare oc-
ourrence and the prostration of poles
and wires an exceptional thing, there
might be an excuse for continuing the
present system, which has not changed
or improved since there were tel
eoraphs. But storms are not OF rare

BLAINE AGAIN.

Now Blaine writes to friend in Lon

this country, that he will return to
America the latter part OF June. Nh
Blaine explains again that he W Ii take

man from Maine beats them al IN

wanted to believe in the dec ination be-
cause they had aspirations in the

before the country, while the majority

campaign. One of these days
when the papers have ceased to

something else to appear as il by &C

with the convention and nomination.
And so we may expect matters to go
along until the Republicans shall mset
in Chicago, when it will occur to the
delegates that Blaine has a majority
and that it will be necessary to nomi- |
nate him, in order to avoid split |
Those who urge as an objection his |
letter of declination, will be met by the
assertion that Blaine is too much pa
triot and is too much devoted
to the welfare of his country
and his party to refuse to make
a personal sacrifice when he is
called upon to serve one and save the
other. Then there will occur the home
coming and welcome which will inaug-
urate the campaign with boom.
This may all be the widest kind of
guessing, but Blaine's whole life as
politician warrants the prediction that
he will be the nominee if it is possible
for him to SECURE the place. He is
cunning enough to know that if he
were an O. en-, outspoken candidate the
chances would be against him, because
defeated men vino want to try it again
are not favorites as a rule; if he can
make it appear, however, that not he
but the party, is anxious in the matter,
a ig point will be gained. We shall
wait other cleTerly timed and cum
D ingly worded announcements from
Blaine until the meeting of the Conven-
ton in June, and We shall expect the
race this year will be, as it was four
years ago, between the man from Maine,
and Grover Cleveland.

ent, lis esteemed by most tribes in this
region of Lukunga as a bird Of ILL
omen. It is, indeed, credited with
being the bearer of an evil spirit which
is sometimes sent by an enemy or evil
disposed person to work mischief. For
example, one day the King Of Kangan-
paka IAN old rascal, who will one day
have to give an account of many a
deed of bloodshed and poisoning), vis-
tied the Livingstone inland mission,
his face the very picture Of misery
and despair. What has happenedP' p
he was asked. There was long ST.
lence. In a whisper he replied that
the people OF a neighboring town had
during the night sent bad bird,
N'Kissi, or spirit in the shape Of an
owl, which had beWitched his plantain
trees near one of his houses and had
blighted them. The missionary asked
how the King knew that the bad spirit
had come. He replied, still in a mys-
terious whisper, that he had heard it.
What had he heard?' 1t was like 4
bird, he said, and he described the
Whirring noise Of the fight Of an owl,
adding that directly afterward his
plantain trees were blighted. Upon
examining the trees the mis-.
sionary found that they had
been injuriously affected. It was
as it they had been struck by lightning.
Every one Of them was blackened and
apparently dead. As this occurred in
the long dry season, when lightning Is
almost unknown, the mischief had been
done by some chemical agency, pruba-
bly, only known to the N'Ganga or
medicine men. The old King begged
for some .riundili' or white man medi.
cine, to counteract the influence uf the
bad spirit. The missionary produced

AN ORKNEY LEGEND.
The Strange, Weird Tale Told.by an Hon,
Native OF Rouany.


Native Of Rousay.
But for the adventurous there is hope
still. Somewhere near Enhallow there.
lies another island, unseen Of men Is,
more years than can be reckoned. This
IS the story Of its last appearance. is
told by native Of Rousay one whc
has seen the fairies and heard the wild,
strange music Of the sea folk:
One day, very many years ago, a
young girl went up to the hill opposite
Enhallow to cut peats. Her days
work done, she was resting on the
heather, when q stran 90 man came up
to her. After a little talk he asked her
to go with him, and. though she refused
ut first, he gained such power over her
that he made her come. When night
came and she did not return, her peo-
pie became alarmed and set out to seek
for her. High and low the whole island
was searched. but no trace was found
Of the missing maiden. The wonder
passed away aud matters fell back in
to their old course. Some time after
this the father and brothers Of the lost
girl went out to fish. They were some-
what to the west of Enhallow. when a
thick fog fell on the sea--so thick they
could not tell where they were. At
last their boat touched land, and on
going ashore they found themselves, as
they thought, upon Enhallow. Going
a little further, however, they found
they were on another island, for they
saw a big house before them. On COM
ing up to this house they found, to their
surprise, none other than their lost
daughter and sister in the person of the
''good wife. She took them in and
gave them food, and told them she was
married to a seaman" and living with
him here. As they were sitting, the
door opened and "a great brown wisp"
came rolling in and went .'ben. CA
"wisp' is ahuge ball of twisted heather
rope, which is used in Orkney for
thatching purposes.) In few min
utes a handsome young man came
"but. He was introduced as the hus-
band of the young woman, and well
coined her friends very kindly. Two
more wisps came in while they waited,
and from each of them came forth q
seaman, who had been out fishing.
When the men had to leave the house,
the father asked his daughter TO return
to Rousay with him, but she refused,
saying she was too happy with her hus-
band to leave him. She gave he:
father, however, a knife, and told him
while he kept it his fishing would never
fail, and he would be able to visit her
whenever he wished. After q tender
farewell, the Rousay men pushed off;
but the old man let the knife slip and
fall into the sea. In moment the
boat touched land in Rousay, but the
island and its mistress have never since
