WIN they Crush Trusts2

In his speech in the Senate the other day
in support of his antitrust bill Senator
Sherman was very severe on trusts. He
gave the country to understand that he was
in favor of any measure that would crush
them. There are reasons for saying that
neither Mr. Sherman nor any of the repub-
llcan leaders proDcse to do anything to
break up trusts. They intend to do good
deal of talking against them, but they will
see to it that they are not interfered with
in any way. In his bill Senator Sherman
proposes TO prohibit trusts by penalties. He
knows that is not the way to prevent them.
During the progress of the last national
campaign the republican organs and
stump orators said that all trusts
that were in any way dependent
upon the tariff should be crushed
by having the duties which protected them
repealed. That sounded well, and there
We're some probably who thought trusts
would be attacked in that way, which is
the only way they can be reached. as soon
as congress met.
How are the trusts treated in the
Mckinley tariff bill? What about the
white lead trust and the linseed oil trust?
Does the Mckinley bill reduce the tariff on
lead? The tariff is 8 cents a pound, or
about 70 cents ad valorem. The Mckinley
bill does not disturb it. Evidently the
republicans do not want to crush the white
lead trust.
When the national linseed oil trust was
formed the price of linseed oil was raised
from 80 to SO cents. a gallon Does the Nc
Kinley bill attack that trust? 1t does not.
1t strengthens it by adding cents gallon
to the tariff on foreign oil. on which there is
already tariff of 25 cents gallon. Sena-
tor Sherman may talk against trusts until
he is exhausted, but in the face of such facts
as these he will not be able to convince the
country that his party is opposed to trusts

Jal!ers VIC ought to be in JaiL

A great deal of surprise is expressed in
New York at the revelations which are
being made to tie committee Of the lsgisla-
ture appointed t. investigate the charges
mat have been made against the sheriff Of
New York county and his deputies. The
charges are that they are guilty Of bribery,
extortion, corruption, and undue favorite-
i'm, and the testimony that has been taken
thus far justifes the assertion that the
charges are all true. Il IS not more
remarkable at the charges are true
than that the corrupt practices
should have continued so long with
out being exposed Hundreds of people of
influence in New York knew that the sheriff
aud his deputies were extorting money
from those IN their power, were accepting
brides and were doing other things in their
official capacity not permitted by the law.
and yet not one Of them took steps to have
the guilty officials punished, or to bring
about reform. 1t was not until a news
paper took ho'd Of the matter that the
public was made aware that the prisoners
and litigants who come within the con-
troll of the sheriff, were robbed.
The Sheriff has just been convicted OF
having engaged in a conspiracy to get a
divorce from his wife, and several of his
deputies have been indicted for getting
money in an Legitimate way. 1t appears
to Rave been the practice at Ludlow street
Jail to get from the prisoners there, on one
pretext and another, all the money they
had, and to make litigants pay dearly for
the services to which they were entitled on
the payment Of the legitimate fees. Wit
uesses who had been confined in the jail
for debt have testified that they paid
as much as $50 q week for board at the
jail, and Henry >. Ives. who was IN the jail
for little more than a year, has testified
that he paid the warden fully $4,000 for
privileges which be enjoyed. The sheriff
and his deputies must be getting rich,
judging from thu fees which they
extort One witness, a lawyer, said
that it was the regular practice
for the deputies to delay the serving of i'm
sums to act promptly.
There is some ground for thinking that
the condition of affairs in the pubic offices
of New York is nearly as bad as it was in
Tweed's time. The legislature ought to
amend the laws so as to put an end to the
abuses of which there is so much complaint.
Prof. Bryce, in his recent book on the
United States, says that government of
cities in America is failure. The revela-
tions relative TO the government OF New
York city seem to sustain his statement.

Mr.. Edward c. Wade has written little
letter to the New York Tribune to say that
''in Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina

box suffer and the assassin reign supreme.
He also makes this remarkable statement:
"The assassination Of Deputy Marshal
Mizell are in great jeopardy tdatneirtnas-
talof Marshal Saunders win not end it by
any means" There is some little doubt
about the meaning of the last assertion, but
it is pretty safe to deny both charges.

The Cherokee Outlet Complication.


The claim which the Cherokees make to
the strip of land known as the Cherokee
outlet containing over $500, 600 acres, and
the right to control it as they please as long
as they are in possession of it, may delay
tue opening of the strip to settlement muca
longer than was expected a few weeks ago.
The Indians, five or six years ago, leased
the greater part of the strip to cattle
companies, and some time ago the Presi-
dent issued a proclamation ordering the
companies to take the cattle off the strip.
The Indians contend that the President had
no right to do this, because the United
States had not bargeined for nor bought
the strip. They are therefore asking the
government for damages because they have
lost part of their rent money by the re-
moval of the cattle.
There is no doubt that the Indians are the
owners of the land, but their ownership is
subject to certain limitation. 1t seems that
there is statute which prohibits the IN
dians from leasing the strip, or any part of
it, except with the consent of the govern
ment. The question is raised, however,
whether it is the intention of the statute to
prohibit the Indians from leasing the strip
for pasture purposes.
If it had not been for the Presidents
proclamation warning cattle companies off
the land it is probable that there would
have been no movement of settlers vet
awhile to the strip. His action precipitated
the movement, and if the position which
the Cherokees take is the correct one they
may recover pretty large sum from the
government. They show disposition to
stand up for what they believe to be their
rights, and their course may cause such
complications as will greatly interfere with
the early opening of the strip to settlement.

An Ohio Enoeh Arden Returns After

stances are common enough in the real
life OF to-day where practically the
same circumstances exist as form the
climax of Tennyson's poem, "Enoch
Arden but rarely is a case that is SO
exactly similar brought 70 notice as was
developed at Lancaster, 4 town about
twenty miles sonth of Columbus, this
week. Thirty-iive years ago Timothy
Miller, young man, married a young
woman OF the place, and after living
there five years, removed with his fam
lily, then consisting OF his wife and two
children, 10 Kansas. Soon after arriv-
ing there Miller disappeared, and not

As years passed and no word came

convinced that he had fallen victim Of

named AbSalom WinegameS, with whom
she has lived happily for over twenty
years. The children, very young when
their father left them, long since forgot
all about him and so did nearly all who
knew him.

BANKERS ARRESTED
For Receiving Deposits When They Knew
the Bank Was Insolyent.

CHICAGO. December ls.-There were
some sensational developments to-day
i'm the affairs OF ;. A. kean Il Co.. pri-
vate bankers, who assigned yesterday.
On complaint of w. w, Boyer, who de-
posted money In the bank on the 5th
and 18th instS., warrants were issued
for the arrest of Mr. Kean and his cash
Ter, Geo Il. Warne. for receiving money
when the bank was known TO be insOl-
vent, arrangements being made 10 reor-
ganiza the concern as Il National bank.
All sorts Of rumOrs were prevalent
in the crowd OF depOsitors and creditors
who thronged the corridor One story
was 10 the effect that at 7:20 o'clock
last night the bank officials had
shipped to New York $4,000 worth Of
securities.
Cashier George B. Warne says the
failure is due 10 a tendency Of the man
agement to deal in speculative securi-
ties. and 70 make loans by favor rather
than on good financial principles. The
liabilities consist of several small
amounts. well secured. due to city bank
ers, and the depOsitors. There are
about 500 or 900 depostors. with sums
varying from $4,000 to $500 or less TO
their credit.
On complaint Of A. ). Leckie, re-
porter. who deposited S22j in the bank
at four o'clock Yesterday afternoon,
Judge Scales to-day entered an order
for the examination OF Mr. Kean and the
Assignee. Jacobs responded to the eta
tion. but Kean himself failed to respond,
il being said that he was i'll at his home
in Evanston.
Mr.. Mayer, attorney for Leckie, said
he would ask for an order for the imme-
diate presence Of Mr.. Kean in court.
Tho court entered the order and also
granted an order for the examination Of
the assignee. The latter cheerfully con-
sented. and the examination was begun
in one OF the jury rooms.
