Blaine on Trusts.

There is not one among all American
trusts that derives its being, owes its or.
ganizatiOn, or come uD under the pat
ronage Of the national government. Ev
cry one derives whatever sanction il
possesses from state governments, gen.
orally one state, but sometimes several.
The president, therefore, certainly
should have known when he aTraigned
trusts in his message to Congress that
Congress would not dissolve them when
their charters were from state legisla
lures or their organizations under state
law. 1t has been confessed by the Dem
ocratic house, by the ways and means
committee, Chairman Mills and every
man that stood as an advocate of free
trade, that trusts had no possible legal
connection with the tariff. The Pref
dents charge that trusts had their origin
in the protective tariff has not foot OF
ground 10 tand upon and was contra
dicted in every line Of free trade exper
fence quoted from England. Now when
all chance to investigate the alleged
bribery by which certain United States
senator connected with one oil our lar
gest trusts was charged to have obtained
his seat is past and gone the Democratic
papers can make loud howl about
trusts. Then WIS the Democratic OPP
portunIly TO get the true inwardness Of
trusts. But they shrank from the in
vesligatiOn Of bribery and both ouIsidp
and inside the administration they de-
termiued TO have no investigation. The
zeal with which the President started
off to saddle the whole OF the unpopu.
larIty of trusts on the protective tariff
and upon the Republ can party seems
not even to have been heard of IN con-
gress. Did they purposely intend to
affront the President by taking no notice
of his suggestion, or dit the Democratic
members of the ways and means com
mittee and of the house cOOlly accept
the conclusion that neither the Presi-
dent nor the United States, nor any pri
vate citizen of the United States, could |
affect the existence of trusts or cure the |
abuses thereof 10y voice or vote in ma.
tional campaign In the Republican |
national platform, upon which Harrison |
and Morton stand before the people, |
there Is a resolution referring to trusts,
IN which there IS wise discrimination |
made as to the legislative power which
shall control them and cure the evils
with them. The Republican
party assigns trusts to the power that |
can deal with them /; the President in
his message referred them where he
knew all ttfi mt action on the subject
was impracticable and impossible.

This is question asked every day. About three
years ago II was discovered in a common swamp
reed, looking like sugar cane. 1t Is found mainly
near the equator and in Central America. The
plant grows from four TO fifteen feet high. The
juice is nearly tasteless, and taken in large guam
titles causes sensation as Of light electric cur
rents, which after two hours give place TO solid.
vigorous, enduring feeling that lasts the same as
good meal on faint, hungry stomach. 1t does
not stimulate, nor lose its effectlfrom long use
more than other food. 1t is not medicinal. As a
nerve food, 1t has cured large number Of cases
of paralysis, and is now about the only reliable
thing for the recovery Of a wrecked nervous sys-
tenn. II has the singular property Of stopping the
laundering appetite for stimulants and tobacco In
five minutes after being taken. II has been fla.
yored into luscious beverage, and is the craze
of the period, the druggists say.

How Thoy Land.

New YORK, Aug. Although the
congressional committee investigating the
immigration question has adjourned until
Monday, in consequence of the absence
OF Ford, who was called away by the
death of his sister, Individual members
are still pursuing the subject informally.
Morrow Of California to-day visited Cas-

identity quietly observed the process of
landing immigrants. He paid especial
attention to the manner in which immi-
grants were questioned. Suppose, " he

money enough for my wants. How are
they going to discover anything different?

. After the Tea Traffic.

CHICAGO, Aug. The Northern Pa
clic is making efforts to secure a share of
the tea traffic from the Pacific to the At
lantic coast, which of late has been mon
opolized to a great extent by the Canadian
Pacific. Yesterday the first shipment of
sixteen carloads arrived In Chicago on its
way to New York. The tea was received
at Portland, Ore, by the Northern Pa
cific, transferred to the Burlington &
Northern at st. Paul, and on its arrival
here, was taken eastward over the Chica-
go & Atlantic, which connects with the
Erie for New York. The object is to
overcome the Canadian Pacifc's time of
transportation from ocean to ocean. The
train made remarkably fast time over the
lines of route and is scheduled to run at
about forty miles an hour from Chicago
to New York. Much interest attaches to
this competition as the result is destined
to have an important bearing on the trans
continental traffic. If it can be shown
that better and quicker service is given
by the new route than that of the Cana
dian Pacific, there is no doubt but that
muck of the business now held by the
foreign line will be captured by the Nor
thern Pacific and shipped eastward via
Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. IA sad sequal was
added to day to the murder Of the base
ball players, John Phillips and Skip

whom the pair attempted to deprive of a
can of beer. Mrs. Phillips, who became
completely Frustrated when the news Of
her husbands death was broken to her,
insisted upon attending the double funeral
yesterday. although scarcely able to leave
her bed, and when her husband was
lowered into the grave she grew wildly
hysterical and threw herself into the exca-
%vation. declaring that she would be buried
with him. When the unfortunate woman
was taken home it was discovered that her
mind had succumbed to the strain and
this morning it was determined to send her
to the insane asylum. She has not tasted
food slnce her husbands death and fears
are entertained that she will die Of starva-
ton as she has positively refused nourish-
ment.
