TRUSTS.

A Wall Street man was talking
about trusts the other day and told :
story which let's IN a food of light m
on the construction of these ingen-
ious schemes for drawing interest on
fictitious capital He SAID a friend of
his paid $50, 600 for a sugar refinery.
1t lay idle for a time and then the
owner was asked how much he would
take for it. The reply was SI20 COO
The property was transferred at that
figure and soon after was put into the
sugar trust at $4,000. This is a lit
tie more than the usual trust ratio of
increase, the multiplier of value being
generally four or five. The calculs-
ton IS, to beginswlth. profit of about
4 per cent. on this inflated amount
and work up to something better, If
possible, in the near future. OF course
the extra profit comes out of the en-
HANGED prices which consumers are
forced to pay over and above what It
costs to shut of competition by those
who are sufficiently honest to do bus
mess without recourse to trust meth
DDS. And the public is asked to wait
patiently and see il this Legitimate

A few bow-Iegged and pigeon-toed
divines will no doubt SET up a great
howl because the centennial ball in
New York City Tuesday was the most
extensive and elaborate demOnstra-

in America. President and Mrs.
Harrison attended and enjoyed the
devotional exercises immensely.-EE
We are neither bow-legged nor
pigeon-toed nor are we a preacher,
neither do we regard dancing as sin
full per Sc, but we do consider that
that ball was a deep disgrace to the
nation, on account of the drunken
ness and despicable conduct of many
participants. Mr.. and Mrs. Harrison
no doubt regret that they attended.

Decoration Of Soldiers Graves,


Memorial day approaches. An
other spring has brought its blossoms
and. again suggests to a grateful peO-
pie the remembrance of those dead
heroes who offered their lives freely
for their country. AS before men
toned, The Gazette would like to see
citizens take charge of memorial day
services. It would do the hearts of
old soldiers good, while still living,
to see the people take charge Of the
streWiDg Of flowers on the graves of
their dead comrades without their as
sIstance Heretofore il has been left
to the surviving soldiers to initiate
such movements and take charge of
the exercises. Better far that they
be present as invited guests. If the
citizens, under leadership, perhaps, of
the Sons of Veterans, would take hold
of the matter such action would be
more in keeping with the sentiment
and spirit Of the occasion. A new
generation has come on the stage of
action since those brave men took
their lives in their hands and marched
to the front to protect the nations
flag. VIII this new generation re-
yeer the memory Of the soldiers when
the last one has been buried out of
its sight? The answer to this ques-
ton is what the soldiers now living
are interested in. It would be an
swered in part 8ffirmatvely by the
citizens generally taking charge of
Decoration Day exercises. CFeStO31

made for it. The public lands, for
which our fathers fought, and which
they intended should be held as
sacred heritage for their children,

bought except at exorbitant prices.

Dedication Of the Presbyterian
Church.

The elegant Presbyterian church
building, erected In 1888, costing
about 5000, was dedicated last Sun
day, Rev S. B. Fleming, of Wichita,
delivering the address. 1t rained
hard all forenoon and literally poured
down awhile before the services be-
gan, but, notwithstanding the in
clemency of the weather, there was a
fair attendance. If it had not rained
the house would probably have been
crowded. Tt was an interesting Oc-
casiOn. @. A. Lewis presided at the
organ and the singing was excellent.
Rev. Fleming's remarks were
founded on the words: God is a
spirit and is to be worshiped In spirit
and in truth" The speaker said that
no rites, nor forms, nor ceremonies,
nor creeds are essential in religion
at most they are only helps. Some Of
the most bigOted people are the most
orthodox as to outward Observances.
In the last analysis true religion is
that which makes US kind and benev-
Olent and good, and true worship is
the direct communion between the
heart of finite man and the heart of
infinite God. The sermon through
out was broad, able and inspiring.
! Rev. Fleming is a clear thinker and a
good reasOner, and is broad and lib
eral in his views.
Rev. r. LiddelI, Of Long Island,
! preached Sunday evening.

politics but we print what he says as

politics seem to be warming up in
Phillips county already, for the com
ing fall camgaign. It is reported
that the candidates for the several
offices will consist of the following
gentlemen: Treasurer, Theo. Brack-
en- and probably Phil Townsley; for
Register Of Deeds. B. E. Morton and
w. H. SpurIock, of Long Island; for
County Clerk, NJ Fisher, of Kirwin,
and S. j. Hartman, (for third term)
of Phillipsburg; for Sheriff, Q. ID.
Heath and B. P Mcclure, of Phil
lipsburg, and B. II. Miller, Of Big
Bend. There is also likely to be can
didate for District Judge from that
county and we have learned that it
will be none other than Hon. George
Spaulding. They are coming into
the field early and as there are some
excellent gentlemen among those
named above they will probably reap
a rich harvest.

Fierce al FickIe.

When John Snowden was . boy b,
always had . hobby. One winter i
was coins. and he daily tormentet
every shopkeeper in the village for ode
specimens in the spring it was pigeons
ne sold oil his coins, begged and Dor
r0wed money from all Of the family {.
buy fan-tails and rare breeds for hi.
d~ove-cOtes.
Then he suddenly took . fancy to col
lect autographs. The pigeons were
neglected, and either died or were
stolen. John was busy in mailing
piteous appeals to every man or WON
an Of distinction in Europe or America
to write their names on blank cards fol
him.
He ri succeeding very we'll when
the pursuit lost Ill interest for him.
He bought . printing-press. Now he
besieged al his friends for orders
"Bill-heads, labels and cards, executed
with neatness and dispatch" Before he
had executed the orders, however, the
delight OF ~type-setting palled upon
him, and he gave it up.
When John grew to be . man he was q
violent Abolitionist for q few years.
Then he lost all interest in the slaves
and became an ardent vegetarian, who
tormented al his friends and acquaint-
ances by appealing to them to give up
meat and live with him on fruits and
vegetables. This hobby lasted but .
year, when he took up the cause Of
woman suffrage, and quarrelled with
every n who did not agree with him.
Since that he has been, by turns, .
leader among the 6piritualists and the
Theosophists, and is now-Sor the mo-
ment--a vehement Ritualist.
He Is . good, sincere, well.meaning
man. anxious to find the truth and to
draw all men with him to find il.
But he draws them with such vehem.
ence that his friends avoid him in
terror.
A rational nan does not object to be
pulled by . steam-engine, provided he
j. pulled in one direction and that the
right one. But he will not consent to be
jerked hither and thither a. by the
vagaries Of . restless wind.
John Snowden's temperament and
habit Of thought are very common in
the world. The life and usefulness of
many . strong, conscientious man have
been paralyzed by them.
II any OF our boy-readers find that
they are already inclined to mount q
hobby and ride it rough-shod over
other people, let them take warning. It
will not be possible. perhaps, for them
TO curb or cool their zeal. Let them
indulge it, remembering, however, that
their brothers and classmates have .
right to hobbies Of their own, and
should not be forced to mount behind
theirs.
When their zeal begins to Gag, too.
let them spur it and force il to continue
in the same path. The man who is ar
dent in the pursuit Of one object is sue
cessful. The man who is Jealous in the
pursuit Of . dozen soon ranks o. q
feather-headed fool among other men.
