Trust Companies.

This class of organizations has been wonder
fully successful in other large cities, and by ag-
gregating many small sums OF money they are
enabled to make loans we'll secured which can
be divided among number of customers tn Q
companies retaining in their office valuations
abstracts OF title. insurance and other papers
They are also able, by proper examination, to
see to the prompt payment of taxes and re-
newal of insurance and relieve investors of q
large number of details. In other cities parties
possessed of large means have gone to Europe
and contented themselves with sending hum
dreds OF Thousands Of dollars to such compa-
MES for investment with no other instruc-
tons than to make the same on a safe basis
and subject to the approval of the board of
directors.
The large capital of these companies is an
absolute insurance as to their good faith and
the proper management of their duties, and
the fact that no legitimate trust company, when
organized on a proper basis and its business
conducted under proper supervision, has ever
failed speaks volumes in praise of such orGani-
cations.
Companies Of this kind have Just commenced
career in Washington and must be of great
advantage to the general public, and particu-
larry to those who have money to invest. 1t
will necessarily take some time for parties to
become thoroughly familiar with all branches
of trust business.
The growing patronage of the Washington
Loan and Trust Company shows that it is al
ready commencing itself to popular favor. and
the fact that it has capital Of 81, 0O0, 900 and
board OF directors including 80 MANY of our
prominent and successful citizens is a guaran-
tee of the accuracy and fidelity Of its trans
actions. Any parties who have money to in

A Spurious Yankee Joke.

From the Chicago News
In London just now there is joke going the
rounds of the clubs under the libelous guise
OF an American joke. They tell of the crema-
ton OF a certain Yankee who, Just before
yielding up the ghost. expressed the wish that
his dead body should be committed to the
flames. Accordingly, therefore, the corpse was
duly conveyed to the crematory, and. in the
presence of large concourse Of bereaved
friends; consigned to the glowing chamber in
the midst of the roaring furnace.
The corpse had been in the furnace half An
nour when the Borrowing friends, impelled by
morbid curiosity, slyly opened the door and
peered in to see how the melancholy work Of
cremation was progressing. Thereupon, to
tns surprise OF all, the corpse sat mp in the
coffin, stark, blue and shivsring, and cried
out:
please shut that door-you know very veil
never could stand draught"

- Of Great Britain and Germany in the
African lake regions is an event Of I'M
ARusual significance. All the coasts of
''''A~ Africa have for some time been parceled
out among the nations of Europe, but it was
not until last week that the country Of the
great lake regions was also divided. There is
nothing left to divide, for, in spite of Portugal
England will not relax her hold on Nyassaland,
and, If last weeks agreement is ratified, the
predominatng influences that will shape events
in the lake regions are perhaps determined for
ages to come.
This map shows the results of the past
months conference in Berlin. and also the di-
vision of that part of Africa lying south of five
degrees north latitude among the powers A
very remarkable series of events has led to this
sudden determination of white interests in the
lake regions Three years ago England and
Germany agreed upon their spheres of infiu-
ence in East Africa. They drew the line which
appears upon our map extending from a little
north of Zanzibar to the northeast coast of Vic
toria Nyanza. They agreed that the region
north of this line should be the British sphere
OF influence, and that the country south of it
should be the German sphere. They
both promised not to inuude upon
each others domain. They thought
however, there was no use troubling their heads
about the countries around the lakes. The
powerful King of Uganda. north Of Victoria
Nyanza, was hostile to Europeans and the only
whites in his capital were prisoners who would
be glad to get away il the king would let them
go. Emin Pasha, at Albert NyanZa, was hemmed
in on all sides by enemies, unable to leave
the country if he so desired. The country
between Victoria Nyanza and the Congo State
was almost unknown, and none of the wise
men who were negotiating knew whether they
would care to give a six-pence for it. So they

ready quoted the utterance of the Phil
adelphia North American appealing to
republicans to bolt their ticket. The
Pittsburg Dispatch voices public senti-
mont at the other end Of the state and
declares for the democratic ticket in
these words:
With candidates SO thoroughly worthy the
votes of all men who are Independent
enough to cast aside party lines in favor of
clean and vigorous state administration
solely for the public interest, and with the
dissatisfaction existing in the republican
ranks, the nomination of Pattison gives the
democrats better hope Of victory than
they have had since the campaign which
they won with the same candidates eight
years ago. It must be remembered, how
ever, that campaigns are won by organiza-
ton; and the republican organization, with
the normal majority behind it. can only be
overcome by systematic work. All who be-
lieve, as tho Dispatch does, that the demo-
crats have selected the candidates best able
to guard popular interests alike against
partisan profigacy and corporate aggress-
ion, should bear in mind that only earnest
and organized work will win the victory for
them at the polls.
1t is difficult to see how Quay with
all his astuteness can check this great
revolt.

CHAIRMAN BELDEN, of the republican
congressional campaign committee, fer
vently appeals to republican newspaper
organs to come to the rescue of the con-
spirators who are trying to force fed
eral election measure through congress
and stem the tide of public opinion that
is setting in SO strongly against such a
a law. The appeal is in vain. The ablest
republican journalists unqualifiedly con :
denim the bill. Even Fire-Eater Hal
stead opposes it. So do Charles Dudley
Warner, the editor of the Hartford Cou-
rant, Joseph Medill, Of the Chicago
Tribune, Editor Wheelock, OF the Pion-
eer Press, and nearly every other repub-
lican journalist of brains and political
sagacity. But even were these gentle
men to change their minds they would
have too much respect to do SO at the
behest OF an 'off color" politician like
Belden, who was member of the old
New York canal ring that Tllden de-
stroyed, and is worse political corrup-
ZIONIST than even Quay himself.
