The en5n Ma.

She was the belle of the summer hotel,
Had lovers and beauX and DfetendIntS galore;
Was heartless coquette, quite the queen of

Who with nine proposals still wanted one

1t was late in the season, which may be the

So night after night she kept forcing the fight,
Till my friends gave me up as an enfant
Poor fellow TOO bad" He's the tenth

For nobody dreamed I was planning coup.
Once, though, when sighed and looked pensive
and tired,
To lead her to fancy loved h alone,
The glow in her cheek almost led me to speak,
In a wild sudden hope that she might be my

Yet the thought-"the tenth dunce"-oh! it

And shall | not see you again, Mr.. Snaw?"
Well hardly see how I responded, and
now
Don't you think We had better call this game

A crimson, swift flush swept her cheeks with
rush
And a flood Of hot tears filed her beautiful
eyes.
For a moment queen in the scorn of her MEN,
She then lightly laughed in contempt and sur
prise.
"And you-youl" she said, 81 am fifty repaid
That l wasted thought on a creature SO

And then, goddess-eyed, she turned in her pride.

The Salt Trust.

Trusts are multiplying rapidly. Every
lew days new one is formed The advan-
tages which trusts possess for robbing the
peop'e are getting to be well understood.
Not long agj sugar was selling at very
reasonable price. A sugar trust a.
formed and the price Of sugar almost i'm
medIately was advanced about two cents
pound The sugar refners say that the in
creased price of sugar is due TO a short
sugar crop. 1t is not generally believed
that such is the case 1t is believed, how
ever. that the sugar trust is buying i'm
me lse quantities Of raw sugar which it is
storing.
A day or two ago great salt trust was
formed at Albany, N. Y. 1t includes about
all the salt producers in this country and
Canada. The bulk of the money invested
in it belongs to English capital SITS. The
trust is capitalized at Sl5, coo, 900 Salt
works are purchased at much more than
their value and paid for in trust stock. In
cases in which works are not purchased the
product Of such works is contracted for at
so much per barrel. The trust, which is
known as the North American Salt Com
pany, proposes to pay dividends of 20 per
cent. On its stock.
Of course the price of salt will be in
ere sed. Out Of the pockets Of the people
will come the money that will enable the
trust to pay the enormous dividend which
1t promises. The people will suffer, but the
rich men who own the salt trust will rap
IDLY grow richer.
The shares of the sugar trust are now
selling above par, and 1t is expected tlat
the shares in the salt trust will also com
mand a premium. But it would not be at
all surprising if many of those
who purchase either sugar or salt
trust certificates will find themselves
heavy losers before long. 1t is
pretty certain that war is going to be
waged on trusts in congress, state legisa-
lures and in the courts. The probability is
that the trusts will get the worst of it.
What then will be value of the certifi-
catesi They will be almost worthle s. Those
who get into the trusts on the grou ID floor
however, will doubtless make a great deal
OF money before the trus fall into decay.
Those who are on the ground floor
own the sugar m lis, salt works, etc.
and II the trusts 60 to pieces they will still
have their original property, Such will
not be the ca o Of outsiders who buy the
stock
The writers who are making efforts to
show that trusts are good things for the
people are either ignorant or intentionally
mlsstate the truth. The cheapness of kero-
sene is frequently citei to show what a
great benefit the Standard Oil trust is to
the people. Who can say that kerosene
would not be cheaper if there were no coal
oil trusts
The cotton planters are making progress
in their fight against the cJtton bag sing
trust. There is not much doubt that
progress will be made in the war that has
been inaugurated, or that will be inaugu-
rated, against other kinds of trusts. The
people are patient, but there is limit to
their patience.

The Nicaragua Canal.

The Nicaragua Canal Company isn't
making great deal of noise, but the re-
ports from Greytown indicate that good
deal Of work is being done on the canal
1t Is stated that the number of men now
employed is 700, and that it will be greatly
Increased soon as a large force can be
used adyantageously Many of the
laborers are Jamaica IS, who were en-
ployed on the Panama cInal, but they do
not give as much satisfaction as the Nicara-
Guans. Comparatively few Nicaraguans
can be obtained, however, because the
country is so sparsely p>pulated.
The principal work that is being done
now is preliminary to the employment of
steam dredges. The dredges cannot be
used until a protecting break water has
been constructed. The health of the
engineers and laborers is good. 1t is re-
ported that there a Q only fifteen persons
the spital. This condition of affairs
would seem to indicate that Nicaragua is a
mucA healthier locality than the isthmus o.
Pan una.
The promoters of the Nicaragua canal
seem to be confident of success. 1t woul
not be at all remarkable if the canal were
ready for Blu ,ineSs before anything moro is
done on the Panama. canal.
