The great salt trust that was attempted
to be organized recently, like the huge
railroad combine, has collapsed. We
are opposed to all such combinations
that have for the object the monopoly of
any interest to the public detriment, but
confess to half wish that the salt trust
would succeed il its organization at
least, and in maintaining it until the
salt interest Of Kansas could have re-
ceived some of the benefits of such a
stimulus to that industry. But Kansas
salt will keep and she can bide her time
to develop the limitless deposits of that
essential article. It will come.

New York City seems bent on having
the Three-Americans exposition held
there whether or no. A monster citi-
zens meeting was held in that interest
last week and steps were taken toward
selecting the location for the great show.
There is one feature, however, that
rather argues against that place being
selected 10y the national committee
raised for that purpose, and that is the
wrangling over the matter among the
local press. The World carps at the pro-
ceedings Of Thursdays great meeting,
and sneers at the selection of the mayor
to the "headship of the committee that
naturally belongs to him by virtue of the
overwhelming vote that made him the
executive chief of municipal affairs. 1t
goes further, and finds fault with the es-
Enlistment of subcommittee to select
the exhibition grounds. 1t insists that
this action is entirely premature and
that the choice of site should be indef-
lnlteiy postponed.

sustained and the damages prayed for

to whom you address all your preach

to the farmers of the eastern and mid

these states are not troubled

Partly because they did not begin bust

their products. The northwestern farm

Editor Of EVENING JOURNAL.
My attention being called to an article
in last nights Every Evening, headed
"The Choral Clubs Collapse, | would
ask Of you space TO refute the statements
made in the article. Ia short the Choral
Club never did collapse, never will col
lapse, nor is it at present in a condition
TO appr oaching collapse The Choral
Club as IL now stands is in the best form
for continuing its work than it ever was
Ny resignation as President is necessary
as my business viii positively not allow
me time to properly fulfill the duties Of
this Office.
In consideration of the fact that we
have only one Opera House In which to
give our exhibitions and in consideration
Of the fact the Choral Club will not give
another performance in that place while
il is under the present management, it is
altogether likely the members of the
club will decide at the next meeting TO
adjourn sine die.
In view of the fact that we tackled the
grand opera Bohemian Girl, minus a
musical director, president secretary,
treasurer, solo tenor and stage manager,
and succeeded in giving the best per
Torrance the club has ever given mot
withstanding Every Evenings opinion to
the contrary il is not particularly con
soling to the members to have the public
informed that the club is about to collapse.
This state Of collapse has several times
been almost the lot Of the Choral Club,
the nearest approach to it being twice,
when the music director laid down his
baton and walked out in the midst of
rehearsel, the last time being shortly
after the Pirates of Penzance," when
naturally, rehearsals We're poorly at
tended which resulted in almost col
lapse, but by several injections Of elixir
of life, the old huh was invgorated with
new life. III the Every Evening wants
TO properly apply the term collapse, il
should refer TO the proposed Mikado per-
formance by local talent in 1856, for the
benefit Of the Associated Charities,
which project was under the personal
management Of the present city editor
of that paper, who devoted two columns
editorial to working the matter up. The
rehearsals progressed finely for about
three weeks when the thing collapsed,
leaving a lumber Of unsettled bills.
The loss which the Mikado project
sustained which caused it to collapse,
was undergone by the Choral Club and
used as a foundation for accomplishing
greater success than ever.

IT would be idle to attempt to argue
against canpmeetings ca even Il one were
disposed to do so. Within the last half
century they have become very popular
in this section Of the country. There is
a growing interest in them and within
the las. three weeks probably more than
million Of people have gone to the woods
to worship in this immediate section of
the middle states. Each year the attend
ance seems to increase and the interest in
the campmeetings becomes more intense.
But the season for the meetings is
also the rainy season and this season
has been exceptionally rainy. The
amount Of discomfort the people who
have attended the meetings this month
have undergone, is untold. Some have
become sick from exposure and all have
endured more hardship than they antici-

For hundreds Of years, or since the
Gubbio family hourished in Florence,
potters have been trying TO obtain a
peculiar iridescent lustre to pottery
which has always been highly priced
The Saracens had attained great success
in the art and pottery made by them,
still in existence, commands fabulously
high prices. All traces of the art have
been apparently lost to the world for
centuries Specimens of the Gubbio's
work are rare and costly, Two years ago
Charles Dudley Warner returned from
Mexico bringing with him specimens of
pottery, rude in form, but having
that unmistakable lustre for which
all the potters of the world have expert
mented in vain for centuries. Miss Y
H. Adds Of New York undertook to find
the place where the pottery was made.
After months Of search she ascertained
that il was made in the queer little town
Of San Felipe, in the Mexican state of
GuanRnxuato. She went there and her
mission was completely successful. She
found the native Indians working in the
open air and easily obtained all the lSnowl-
edge they had Of their wonderful secret
and the names Of the materials used to
produce the beautiful glaze. They
could not impart the proportions as they
work "by rule Of thumb" but the ingre
dents are oxide Of lead, peacock copper.
broken glass and fine sand. After this
glaze has been applied it is subjected tc
the fumes Of ammonia for two hours, by
which the lustre is brought out. 1t is
curious to speculate how these primitive
Indians have come into the possession OF
this secret and kept it all these years.
The most plausible theory is that it was
impaired to them by some priest, who
was administering to their spiritual wants
after the Spanish conquest. This is another
instance where the unexpected has hap

MCKINLEY Of Ohio is a candidate for
Speaker Of the House, He has been
making a canvass for the position from
the outside for months, and now he has
established head quarters at Washington
and opened a canvass ON the inside, among
the members. His chief opponent is
Reed of Maine. Reed has more ability
and less amiability and both will weigh
heavily against him in the can
vass. Mr.. Reeds abilities as leader Of

and 90 in to.rule-or ruin spirit which is
popular In the Republican party and
always secures prominence not merited
by the demagogues ability as states
man. He will make poor leader be-
cause he is too aggressive to be prudent
and too dictatorial to win confidence.
Mckinley is quieter, fairer, more
judicial and by great odds more com
plscent. To complicate the situation the
Republicans will be compelled to listen
TO the demsnds Of the patriotic Southern
members who want offices for their
friends. There are nineteen Of them and
they have formed trust by which they
demand that Brawner, the Republican
member from North Carolina, shall be
elected Speaker That may be simply
club to beat the Republican
caucus into an agreement 20 divide the

other plums and pickings on which these
Southern patriots who are assisting Ito

eyes fixed. The assembling Of Congress

Of which this is only mere outline
