Mr.. BLAISE's FLoUSDERING.- Orator
Blaine hath two tones to his voice. In
the capitalistic East he ridiculed the out
cry against trusts, and said they were
largely private affairs" with which
neither the National Government nor
private citizens have any particular call
TO interfere.
In the mortgaged and struggling West
Mr.. Blaine finds it polite to concede that
trusts are, as the World has described
them, private affairs for public robbery"
But he says all the bad trusts are "of
Democratic origin"
How puerle The great leader must
indeed have lost his yirile grip upon pub
lie questions.
There may be Democrats in control OF
trusts(though this Is not true OF the Stand
ard Oil, as Mr. Blaine implied, just as
there are Democratic beneficiaries of the
tariff for bounlies But the Democratic
policy is not changed for that reason.
The party proposes to make war on
trusts, Just as it proposes to cut down the
tariff.-N. Y World.

The question, as marriage failure "

EMPEROR WILLIAM.-A cablegram
dated Rome, October II, says: An paths
lead to Rome, and here this afternoon
Emperor William ii. came 10 The limit
Of his international wanderings He was
preceded by an enormous crowd OF yisi-
Tors. For the past four days special train
has followed special train full of people
focking in from every part Of Italy.
! The festivities certainly bear a most pop
ular character. No troops take part in
the torch. light procession, so that il may
be an entirely popular demonstration.
All the soldiers who are TO take part IN
the review arrived last night, and the va

TuF STR1KE.-The New York .StaT
saws Of the Chicago strike: The stu
alton would not be so serlouC 10 any
other city than Chicago Among her
working men Anarchistic ideas have
found root TO an extent that nils the
property owners with alarm. Ii is not
in the homes of the intelligent American
born laboring men that such ideas have
fouIished but in the colonies of reyOlu-
tionary foreigners that have established
themselves there. \ general street car
strike is difficult enough to handle under
| any circumstances, but with this unreas.
oning element added, the dangers are in
creased tenfold Unless some compro-
mise is reached shortly we shall probably
have to chronicle in Chicago riots and
bloodshed to an extent not duplicated in
any other American city in years.
Mr.. Labouchere regrets TO hear that
the relations between the Emperor Will
liam and his mother are more strained
than ever The fault" he continues,
sis not altogether on the side of the En-
peror, as the Empress Victoria has done
and said many foolish and indiscreet
things during the last six months. 1t
seems that although The Empress gave
up her husbands papers which dealt
with political and military subjects, she
has retained mass Of correspondence
which the Emperor considers he ough,
to possess The Empress Fietoria's
health is not in a very satisfactory state,
aud she is In a condition of considerable
nervous exciiemeni.-Phila. Times
THE LATEST RAILWAY HORROR The
frightful disaster on the Lehigh Valley
road betrays a degree OF negligence more
criminal and deserving Of punishment
than anything in the record of recent
railway horrors.
