Powderly and the Trusts.
HE DOES NOT TAKE THE SAME CHEERFUL

HE DOES NOT TAKE THE SAME CHEERFUL
VIEW OF THEM AS MR.. BLAINE DOES.
Mr.. Powderly when before the Ford COM
mittee on Monday, the Goth inst, made
some noteworthy answers in reply to Col.
Oates, who questioned him incidentally on
trusts. They are the more noteworthy De-
cause of the recent utterances OF Mr.. JAS.
G.. Blaine on the subject. Congressman
Oates asked if all trusts were not operated.
upon the same principle (ths coal barons OF
PENNSYLVANIA had been under discussion).
Mr.. Powderly-I believe they are.
O. What do you think of them? A. l
think very little of them. think they are
a menace to the welfare of the people OF
this country, and think they hinder free
competition and smother it.
@. You are of the opinion that they are
detrimental to the well being of the pubic
generally? A. believe 1t.
@. And that they are organized in the In,
terest of the few? A. Certainly-to control
the output and limit and watch the sources
Of production.
@. To put up prices to the community
and force the purchase of their commodity
at their own pricesa A. That is the STAND
and deliver game Of the nineteenth century.
@. And also to smother or force into tne
combination all of the smaller aggregation
of capital engaged in the same business'
A. Yes, sir; or crush them out.
@. Are these trusts not rapidly on tho In,
crease, and have you not heard, ana dio
you not know, as matter OF notoriety' %
the recent organization of several OF them
within the last year or two? A. Oh, yes,
sir; they have become better known within
the last year or two, being known by the
name of "trusts."
@. They are in fact great combinations
of capital? A. Great combinations OF CAPT
tai, and we may call them trusts or other
wise.
@. You regard them, then, as q mattel
of pnblic concern and detrimental to the
general interests OF the people9 A. do
most certainly. believe, furthermore, ane
would suggest that the arm Of the govern
meut reach out and protect the people:
@. You do not look upon them as private
affairs that should not be regarded as law
breakera9 A. No, sir; ! do not.

JUDGE THURMAN GETS HOME -Judge
Thurman arrived at his home in, Columbus,
Ohio, last Sunday morning. He expressed
himself as fesling remarkably well-much
better, in fact, than at the time he started
and said be was benefited greatly by the
trip. His Voice, he said, was in better
condition than it had been for ten years,
and the fatigue that he has usually expert
enoed in speaking the past few years entire
ly disappeared ia the last few days. He
was pleased, he said, beyond word express
sion at the receptions rendered him while
abroad, and p II ticu,arly with the maenifi-
cent gathering at Chicago. From the out
look as earned by him in Michigan and
Chicago, he thought the democratic chances
for carrying Michigan and Wisconsin were
particularly bright.

"a soeeeh that will convince. ("

This is the caption Of the New York Her.
AIDS notice of Judge Thurman's speech at
Port Huron, Michigan, on the 22nd instant,
of which the following are extracts from
what it says
The speech which Allen G. Thurman de-
livered in Port Huron, Mich, last evening,
shows that age has not dimmed his clear in
sight into the political situation or lessened
the boldness with which he scatters the
sophistries of the opposition.
In many respects it was model speech
and will serve as pattern for those who are
to enter the campaign as instructors of the
people. 1t contained common sense, hard
headed, simply stated argument in favor of
tariff reduction. 1t was not an oratorical
effort, had in it no sublime, soul stirring,
hair lifting bursts of eloquence which make
the hearers feel as though a centipede were
crawling up their spinal columns; no glow
| ing periods which carried the audience up
| in balloon and left them to find their own
| way back to the earth, but chained the at
tention by its earnestness and convinced by
| its facts.
Staunton spectator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1896, 1888-08-29

In most campaign speeches there is too
much buncombe, carloads of hifalutin
spread eagleism, boisterous mouthings,
frantic gesticulations, as though men argue
best when they saw the all; very consid-
cradle dependence for effect on calling the
other side set of fools, knaves, political
foot pads, while our side is wholly lnadeup
of archangels who hide their wings under
their waistcoats out of sheer modesty.

Etc.
 With the advancement of any community in wealth, intelligence and culture, the fine arts of decoration and adornment prosper and the skill and taste of the jeweler brought more constantly and generally into requisi- tion.
 Such has been the case, to 8 marked de- gree, in New Haven, as shown by the fact that twenty years ago it would have been i'm possible to find customers for that fine class of goods which are now really in the great est demand. Of course those engaged in the business have done no little to educate and direct the pulio taste, a work which, per haps, no house in the city has accomplished more efectually than that of Mir. J. Fl. G.. Durant, of 38 and 40 Church street.
 The stock here displayed Is in every re- speot the finest in the city, consisting of nate rings, precious stones (set and unset, chains, watches, clocks, solid silver and plated ware, spectacles, eyeglasses. opera and field glasses: in short, an almost endless as- sortment of those choice and artistic goods which belong to this class of trade.
 It is here that the celebrated Hampden, Waltham, Elgin and other American watches are sold, conceded by all who have tried them to be the best timekeepers in use.
 The watch repairing department is under the careful supervision of MT. Durant, and all work is intended to be done in satisfac- tory manner.
 With stock that is in every way perfect one, presenting in every department com- plete variety from which 70 make selections and a minute and thorough familiarity with the business personally, it is not matter of suprise that this establishment is one of the most popular resorts in New Haven for those in search of genuine values in jewelry at moderate prises, quest that is never disap- pointed in visiting this house to buy or to have manufactured directly upon the preln- ises, where one can not only see for them selves the melting of the gold itself but the actual construction of the goods

Chureh ofthe meaaIab

large and appreciative audience was present last evening at the Church of the Messiah to listen to the fourth lecture in the course to young men and women on the sub ject of "Amusements," by the Rev L. H. Squires, the pastor. Like the preceding lec- lures the one last evening was an able one, abounding in deep thought and rhetoric. Following is an abstract: "Large liberty should be allowed in the choice of amuse- ments. That which is evil in itself should never be indulged. All else is allowable Cards. billiards, dancing, etc., may be enjoy ed consistently with Christian character. A dance in minister's house never did any. body harm. Croquet is outdoor billiards Authors is the legitimate offspring of cards But any of these may be easily abused I have no good to say of the brainless and heartless frivolity which finds no higher means of pleasure than these. A horse is a noble animal, but we don't like the men who Hollow the turf" until their very photographs smell of the stable. Nor the young men who frequent the pool rooms to play for beer. Nor the young women who cultivate their heels more than their heads. We would take amusements away from evil associates and have them freely enjoyed in the home If the church will let the devil manage the amusemsnts it will find itself beaten in it's attempt to win the people. Let the home life be made happy with games and pleas- ures, cheerful surroundings and genial com- panionship and the allurements of the street will have less power over the young.''
 There will be revival services in the Church of the Messiah each evening this week except ing Saturday. The services will consist of 8 short sermon and singing. Rev. s. B. Smith of Thompsonville, a noted preacher and sing CT. will speak and sing at the meeting to- night. Mir. Smith is rated as an exception ally fine speaker and as singer he has few equals. Tomorrow night Rev. Phebe Hana- ford will deliver sermon. On Wednesday evening Rev. Mr. Kimball of Hartford will preach. Key. Mir. Smith will be present at all the meetings during the week and sing. A cordial invitation is extended to everyone to Dc present.
