THE GREAT WHISKY TRUST.
1t Gathers in the Immense Chicago Dis
tilleries for 81, 600, 900.


CHICAGO, June A gigantic deal, ne
gotiations toward which have been car
ried on for the past week, was consumma-
ted this evening at the Auditorium. By
papers which were signed the whisky
trust has at last acquired outright the
only remaining important antitrust es-
Establishments in the west the great Chi
cago distillerics owned by Fl. Schufeldt &
Co., and the Calumet Distiling Co. The
Schufeldt distillery is the one partly
burned yesterday, and for the attempted
blowing up of which by dynamite some
weeks ago, George j. Gibson. secretary
of the whisky trust is now under indict-
ment.
1t is thought by many the transaction
may materially effect the Gibson case by
removing any vindictive feeling toward
him entertained by the Schufeldts. The
news of the purchase was surprise. al
though rumOrs which were denied by
the owners of the purchased distilleries
have been persistently circulated. The sale
of both plants included the real estate,
machinery. stock Of goods, patents, trade
marks, brands and right to continue the
use of names. In connection with the
purchase the whiskcy trust directors dis
claim any intention to advance prices.
They absolutely refuse to give the pur-
chase price. stating merely that the pur
chase was for cash and at figure alike
satisfactory to seller and purchasers
The price is however known to have
been fully commensurate with the gigan
tic character Of the properties purchased
probably involving ii transfer of about

Remarkable Test of a Torpedo Boat.
An experiment was made at Plymouth.
Eng. October %. with boom to check the
rushes of torpedo boats. The boom was
thickly studded with formidable steel
spikes. together with seven inch steel
hawser stretched taut overhead as balk.
Torpedo Lieutenant Sturdee, who had
disapproved the plan, offered to prove the
correctness of his assertion that the device
would not afford the protection desired.
He guaranteed that he would either Jump
or force the boom. and he finally obtained
permission to make the attempt.
A swift torpedo boat was loaned the
lieutenant for the experiment. Upon this
he built massive arched superstructure ex-
tending from bow to stern, intended to raise
and support the Overhanging hawser. Four
seamen volunteered to accompany the dar-
ing lieutenant.
The lives of all concerned were specially
insured for the benefit of their families by
orders of the Admiralty. whose experts be-
lieved that the attempt of Lieutenant Stur-
dee meant almost certain death. The i'm
portance of the experiment as means of
making an actual test of the availability of
this means of defense alone justified the
risk in the eyes of the officials.
The boom having been adjusted across
the mouth of the harbOr, the torpedo boat
started on its'hazardOus mission. The start
was made half mile away from the boom,
and high rate of speed was attained as
the obstruction was neared. At the last
moment the lieutenant and his men rushed
below and fastened down the hatches An
instant later the boat, running at speed
of nineteen knots, struck the boom.
The conclusion was terrific, and all the
occupants of the craft were thrown so vio-
lently against the sides of the boat that they
were painfully bruised. 1t seemed for
moment as though. the expectations of
Lieutenant Sturdee would be realized and
the boat force it's way through the boom.
She jumped nearly clear. but before she got
through. the hawser caught her and pressed
her against the big spikes of the boom,
which held her like wise and tore her bot
tom badly. The boat at once began to make
water.
The seamen worked at her some time be-
fore she could be got free. Then they
started for the beach. but the boat found
cred before reaching it, the crew being
taken off by the boats from shore. There
was much excitement among the spectators.
and. though Lieutenant Sturdee's views had
been disproved, his bravery and that of his
companions was highly praised. Scientific

The Italian folk will also try to get control
of this spot so that they can make their
maritime circle complete. M. de Blowitz
then puts it all together and tells the neigh
bOrs that the French. Russian and Italian
families will 60 hand in hand. conquer the
domain of this cOnglOmeratiOn of different
children, and divide it all amongst them
selves; but he does not ask Mother England
and the rest of the neighbors who are
quietly pursuing their family duties, what
they will have to say about such move.
Perhaps he thinks that Uncle Sam, who
just now is sitting on the fence across the
pond feeling very happy for the large crops
he has raised on his farm, will not use his
influence. and with Mother England and
the other neighbOrs stop any attempt to
hurt any one in such an event; and further
more. the neighbOrs believe old Franz
Joseph will live quite long time yet even
If he is sixty one years of age.
1t is therefore easy to see that Mother
England, who has raised so many children
and sent them all over the neighborhood, is
doing more in her quiet watchfulness to
maintain peace. than any other family; but
it should not be forgotten that she has a
wonderfully strong ally in Father Russia.
even if she does feel the necessity of being
just little skeptcal as to his motives.
Let us hope and pray that success will con.
tinue to crown the effort until there remains
not doubt as to the establishment of per-
manent peace throughout christendom.

A History of Political Methods.


With quite sufficient reason. the public
mind has long been disturbed by our polit-
ical tendencies. This dissatisfaction does
not arise from the fact that. in matters of
principle and public policy. intelligent peO-
pie think we are on the dangerous roads.
In what are called questions. such as those
of banks. tariffs, coinage of silver, pay.
ment of the national debt. etc.. etc., it may
be that the majority would prefer changes
of policy; but there is conviction abroad
that we are as a people free to change in
these matters if we really and earnestly
desire new policies which we are able to
define. The feeling of apprehension springs
from the belief that the political methods
are bad, undemocratic and dangerous, and
from a fear that the fountains of public
life are being defiled by the wicked spirit of
practical politics." 1t is not easy to cor
rupt the moral sense OF such people as
ours. The level of intelligence is high, and
patriotic impulses are strong in u.s. And
vet we have gone down some steps. At
the end of the war. men physically wrecked
refused to take PENSIONS; they would not
take pay for religious self sacrifice. Now,
men who came out of the army without a
scratch and are still sound in health swear
falsely to obtain pensions. These greedy
seekers of pensions did not dream twenty
years ago that they could sink so low.
ANY one of them would then have said:
what. is thy servant dog, that he should
do this thing?" Their fall is directly trace
able to the corruption of the civil service,
to the fact that in the theory of our public
life. bOunties should be given to men who
handle political organizations successfully.
Salaries for civil service are bountes to be
had by scrambling for them, or by earning
them in the service of party.
The theory of ''practical politics" con-
verts the salaries paid for public service
into pool which parties are organized to
secure for distribution among the sergeants,
corporals. lieutenants. captains. colonels
and general of the order. ''What are we
here for" cried delegate in the Republican
National convention of 1880. ''if we are not
after the offices?" That indignant question
expressed the very heart of the practical pol
itician. A party. in his view, is an organ
iZatiOn to get Offices. And as much of it's
work is. in the same view, secret. dirty,
and wicked work. he believes that the party
should be under the strict control of the
'bOSSeS." Each town should have its
leader, all the town leaders should be under
the control of the county leader, and county
leaders should obey the state ''boss"-and
the edifice should be crowned with ma.
tional committee of ''bosses." This commit
tee the politicians struggled to create by the
famous theory of ''the courtesy of the SEN
ate." That theory made the president the
clerk of the party's senators in each state.

What Power Maintains Peace In
Europe?

The all absorbing question regarding
Europe IS, Will there be war? Our news
papers tell us to day. that owing to such
and such conditions, war is improbable for
some time to come. Tomorrow they will
most likely tell us that war is imminent and
that the winter will not pass before we hear
of the beginning of the greatest war of
modern times. 1t therefore would be some
what difficult for one to arrive at satis-
factory conclusion regarding the status Of
the situation if the meager and incomplete
reports contained in our daily papers were
the only sources OF information concerning
it. But if the vOluminOus writings of those
who have made study of the question be
taken and carefully sfted. one is able to
form something of an intelligent idea of the
matter.
For the purpose of analyzing the matter,
let us imagine Europe to be collection of
families in common neighborhood. Ger
many, Italy and Austria have formed for
themselves common agreement for mutual
advantages. and do not speak to Mrs.
France as they pass by. In fact they have
never been good neighbOrs since that affair
in which the stalwart German family built
their fence around little Alsace. Lorraine
The French family since then have been
consumed with burning desire for venge-
ance. and instead of time bringing any
healing balm to them. the old wound has
been allowed to develop into running sore
that has permeated the whole family. In
order to effectually crush all attempts on
the part of Mrs. France and her family to
cause them trouble, the German folk talked
the matter over with sisters Italy and
Austria who were of the opinion that the
French family deserved all they received,
and the result was the formation of that
agreement entered into for mutual prOtec-
tiOn against the willy intrigues of Mrs.
France to gain the support of some of her
other neighbors. Mother England, with her
brood of children scattered all over the
neighbOrhOOd, and represented in the Ger
man and Russian families by ties OF mar
riage, stands quietly by and encourages the
efforts of her German relations to keep
down the aggressive French. She sees the
extraordinary efforts France has been max
ing to win that large Russian family into
an alliance that will enable her to have
something like an even chance in setto
with Germany. and when England per-
ceives that Russia shows any inclination to
listen to such Overtures, 1t is then she steps
In for friendly call and advises Mr.. Russia
