Trusts and combinationsa are great

all the harvester machine companies

MORE CARE.

The report Of what might have been a
highly destructive fire at the Olympia ho-
tel attended perhaps with loss of life,
which appeared in last nights TRIBUNE is
substantiated in this mornings paper by
Lessees A. D. Whitney & Son, but they
find fault with the large black headlines
'Sayed from flames" and commend the
ability Of the TRIBUNE to ''make mount
ain out of a mole hill. I" A reporter of the
TRIBUNE was on the ground and saw the
fire; the lessees who were in bed knew
nothing Of it until daylight yesterday
morning,
There was nothing sensational in our ar
ticle, It gave the cold, OF rather warm
facts of the case. The TRIBUNE is here to
publish news, not suppress it, and has nc
feeling in the matter. 1t distinctly stated
that fact to Mr.. A. d. Whitney when he
asked for the suppression of the publica-
tion of the news yesterday afternoon. The
TRIBUNE also knows how to head up an
article according to its value as news. Bv
the way, there is a law if we mistake not
requiring the erection of fire escapes on
tall buildings in this state That law
should be enforced. In the absence Of
law, it would be wise precaution for own
ers of tall buildings to take. The safety ot
human life is of more Importance than a
few dollars. Let us have fire escapes and

WEIGHT.

Chow dishonest dealers thrive" is the
caption of an article in the Philadelphia
Press. 1t says that the grocers in New
York and in some other cities are still dis
cussing the question of weight vs. meas
ure; if not, why not?" 1t contends that
no good reason has yet been given why
groceries, provisions and fruit should not
in all cases be sold by weight and that
under the existing method in that part Of
the country of selling by measure, the
dishonest grocer or tricky Yender has a
great advantage over his honest conpeti-
tor. 1t tappears that in Europe fruit and
provisions are sold by weight much the
same as they are in the Puget Sound
country, and it is contended that this is
the only fair and honest way. In ireland
live stock has until recently been bought
and sold by weight, but the weight was not
determined by scales but by estimate.
This has been the means of cheating the
farmer III that country to such an extent
that Mr. Balfour now claims that he has
instituted a reform in that direction. In
Washington we have a standard of weights
and measures for the state in each county
and it is desirable to know about how
many pounds Of coal is necessary to make
ton. Dealers, it is said, generally receive
two thousand two hundred and forty
pounds to ton when buying at whole
sale and give two thousand pounds when
selling at retail. Where there is one legal
standard, there will be less swindling, and
both producer and consumer will get what
they are entitled to receive.

man in America. General Sherman was
neither quaek nor a scoundrel. He hated
that correspondenttoh his dying day because
he had lied publicly about the General as
he lied about other men, General Sher-
man once said that the said correspondent
would rob hispoor old Grandmother. The
dismissed correspondent was strong
fighter-on paper. He is in jour

unfair, and his pen is not fouler or more

A WOMAN DRIVES A HORSE CAR.
And Her Little Boy Laughed to See

And Her Little Boy Laughed to See
the Sport.
A Flatbush horse car stood at the termi-
nus of the line the other day preparatory
to a downtown trip. A handsomely at
tired lady and her 10-year-old son were the
only passengers. The driver unscrewed the
brake and then left the car for a minute.
The horses took fright and started at full
speed. The two passengers looked about
for the driver. He was nowhere to be seen.
The small boy turned pale. 1t was the
work Of an instant for his mother to rush
to the platform and grasp the reins, and
probably for the first time since horse cars
were invented was woman seen driving a
horse car.
1t was funny sight, but it wasn't half
as funny as the effect it had upon the small
boy. To see his dignifed mamma with
her best Sunday bonnet with the lace and
pink roses driving street car with her
best gloves on and shouting "Whoa!" to
the horses was too much for his risibIes.
He just stretched himself out on one of the
benches, and the roars of laughter that
were carried out of the car windows
brought spectators TO see what the matter
could be. By this time she had stopped
the horses, and the driver came to her re-
Lief with many apologies.
The small boy hasn't recovered yet from
the effects of the ludicrous situation

INCREASE OF UNITARIANIsM.
How the Churches ana Membership
are Growing.


are Growing.
Editor Tribune
Who says the Unitarianism is dying {?
Forty years ago it did look a little that way.
During the ten years from 1876 to 1856,
there was an increase of only one church.
Ten years latter there were only anincrease
of eleven, or 250 churches all told-a growth
if such it may be called of twelve in twenty
years. In 1865 the national conference was
formed and during the next twenty years
there was an increase of 118, nearly six a
year. But since 1885 the growth has been
at the rate of two churches each month
Two years ago at the National conference
in Philadelphia, Edward Everett Hale said
they ought to be ashamed to look i'll each
others faces at the next conference, two
years from that time, if they could not sup
port fifty new churches. The two wears
have now passed and at the conference Just
held, the number of new churches reported
was slxty-one. Forty-tive years ago the
gain was one church in twenty years,
twenty years ago one church each year, ten
years ago six each year, five years ago
twelve each year and today the rate is
thirty-tiYe in one year.
The people who talk about Unitarianism
being in dying condition have evidently
been consulting some old almanac about
for years out of date. The fact that each
church means cleaner life, less drunkenness
more culture, deeper purity better govern
ment, better books and cleaner streets and
wider mental liberty for all people in the
! town or locality where it is established
makes each increase matter of congratu
| lation. NJ III.
