Army and Navy Death Rates.



Army and navy death rates in time OF
war and of peace deserve much atten-
ton. The official tables give us not only
the number of men killed in action, but
the relative tendency to disease in
divers armies. For example, in the
Crimcan war the British army lost
$50 men killed On the field,
and y 600 who died in hos
pital II took 9l0 Russian shots to
kill or mortally wound an English
man or lrenchman, and 100 English
shots to kill Russian; but the havoc
caused by disease was far greater. II
We study these statistics with attention
and act upon them, we may reduce our
campaigning IL SIS IS by 80 per cent. We
may also learn some interesting phys
biological facts. as that the proportion of
Frenchlnen who die after amputation or
other surgical operation is greater than
OF British or Russ ans.

1.-The United States Trust Company,
of New York, having declined to hoat
Si5, 900, 900 WORTH of bonds of the con-
cern, careful legal inquiry OF the
status of the trust was at once insti-
tuted, and the result was the abandon
ment of the gigantic idea.
each individual concern which went
into the combine is now left to its own
resources. The principal effect will
probably be the reinstallation of the
agents of the different companies who
were discharged last week by the mo-
nopoly on the excuse that rs competi-
ton was lessened, fewer agents and
statesmen were necessary.
"A war will now probably result, as
each firm will begin to cut on prices"
The Deering Company also gave no.
tice to its general agents of the collapse
of the combine by the following circu-
lar dispatch, dated the 9th inst;
1--WE have now to inform you that for
good reasons, not now necessary 10
state, we have Withdrawn from the
American Harvester Company organic
alton, or, to speak more correctly, we
have never yet legally merged our bust
ness in that company, and do not, on
careful consideration, find it to our in
! terest so to do"
AS the Deering and Mccormick com
panies are the two strongest competit-
ors in the west, it is generally consid-
cred that the combine is practically
shattered, and machinery and Irvine
will continue to be sold at the usual
prices, subject, however, to the effects
of war among the manufacturers, by
no means improbable. 1t also will re-
instate in employment many hundreds
of men who had received notice of dis
missal.
The Threshing Machine combine will
probably be the next to topple.

A INST Ernst.

That colossal combine, the American
Harvester Company, organized but a
short time ago with a capital of thirty
five millions of dollars, has already gone
to pieces, and it may be confidently ex-
pected that all similar trusts will col
lapse in rapid succession.
In referring To the Harvester com
bine, the Inter ocean of last Saturday
says: "The President, Mr. Cyrus ii
Mccormick, made known the official
announcement of the dissolution of the
combine yesterday by saying that after
securing the opinion of eminent coun-
sci from different states, the American
Harvester Company had been confront.
ed with grave legal obstacles to the
contamination of the enterprise fol
which il was formed. These obstacles,
according TO Mr.. Mccormick, were OF
such character that after the most Sc.
rious and careful consideration the
conclusion was reached that the whole
undertaking must be abandoned.
"For over week the board of direc-
tors of the trust had held meetings
daily, but all the discussions were of no
use, as it was plainly seen that the sue
ccssful operation of the scheme meant
the violation of the statutes prohibiting
trusts in almost every state in the
Union.

Where Our Greatest Wealth Is.

In the region beyond the ninety eighth
meridian west of Greenwich, the initial
point being st. Paul and its final one
North Platte, Neb., while on the south
it extends eastward to Fort Worth, Tex,
eighteen states and territories were
visited and traversed. The contrasts
offered by it to the solitude of 1866
were almost amazing. West of the
meridian named there are now at
least $4,000 miles of railroad, and of
telegraph wires not less than $780,
600 miles. OF telephone and electric
light cables, in proportion to population,
there are more miles in use than else
where within the United States. There
is today more property owned per capita
than anywhere else on the continent.
Two-fifths of the national domain la
found west of the line given, and GER
tainly three-fifths of the remaining public
lands of the United States must be
sought for in the same region; and that,
too, without considering Alaska. Yet
how few persons are cognizant of the
fact that east and west the geograph-
ical center of this Union is somewhere
in the Bay of San Francisco; for with
the Aleutian islanders flying our flag
within fifty miles of the Siberian coast
of Asia. our domain extends, on a north
western and southeastern line, some
5000 miles beyond the Golden Gate. -

I)istrust.

This is the cause of the present strin-
gency i'm the business world 1t is not
want of currency; it is not Mckinley
prices" it is not tariff taxes it is not
the London panic and the colossal fail
ures in that city, although they have
contributed to it.; but it is fear and dis
trust of the future-the element of un-
certainty produced by the recent Dem
ocratic and Farmers Alliance victory.
Capital is timid and refuses to invest
in uncertainties. Vast manufacturing
and business projects have been aban
doned because of the fear that the next
Congress would make war upon the
tariff; because of the fear that this
Democratic victory may force free
silver bill, with dishonest dollars,
through Congress; because of the fear
ton of Democratic president in 1892.
Clothe it in what language you may,
the fact remains that the management
of public affairs by the Democratic
party mas never Detll SuCl Us W lllSpllc
confidence in monetary centers. With
that party in full control of the govern
ment, the protective features of the
tariff would be swept away and all our
business, our manufacturing, our labor,
our markets, would be exposed to the
destructive competition of European
capital and cheap labor. With tariff
''fOr revenue only" which is free trade;
with free silver; with the adoption of
the Alliance delusions and dangers and
all the wild financial schemes and her
estes already proposed by the Demo
cratic leaders, the business of the coun-
try would be overwhelmed with diff
culties and disasters. Is it any wonder
that capitalists shrink from investments
in new enterprises, when only two years
can be relied upon before "A possible
Democratic victory may destroy the
laws that protect these enterprises from
failure? Is il strange that people are
boarding their money; that production
is arrested; that sales are falling of,
and that through all the ramifications
of trade there is fear, uncertainty and
dullness?

We sit together - the pew,
Drawn from tho week day world Always
The lesson DER, the sermon through,
Close side by side we kneel To pray
Then rise. as loud from pipe and reed
The swelling organ notes ascend,
And banded maiden voices lead
The music onward TO the end.
Low bending near, hold her book,
Though little heed pay TO IL;
Her voice, timid warbling brook,
Lures all my thoughts away TO It:
above all others, One Is known
Who well deserves the name OF Friend;
Beyond a brothers love Is shown
His love, free, costly, without end"
Sweet Is that sweeping choral tide,
And throbbing sweet those organ chords;
But sweeter far than all beside
Sound Lucy's gentle, sainted words;
Pitched soft and meek, her trustfu tone
Gives to my life nobler trend;
"Above all others, One is known
Who well deserves the name OF Friend"
The people next us do not hear
The burden of that still small voice;
And yet il bids me plain and clear
To make this childlike Sou my choice.
And sudden yearnings rise intense,
And fifty with her singing blend,
That some day, in a human sense
may become-her more than friend.

The TRUE NoRTHERNER never tires
in well doing, and consequently never
tires in advocating the candidacy of a
good man To an important office. AT
the approaching spring election JUS
ticc of the Supreme Court is to be
chosen. Two years ago we urged the
candidacy of Judge II. II. Pealer, of St.
Joseph county, for the position, and in
the nominating convention he had not
only the unanimous support of the del
egates from his judicial circuit, but
those from the entire Fourth Congress
sional district as well standing next
to Judge Grant, who became the nom
inee of the convention. Judge Pealer
represents portion of the state which
is especially entitled to representation
on the Supreme bench; his eminent fit
ness is acknowledged on all hands, and
we bespeak for him the cordial support
of our contemporaries to which he is so
Justly entitled.

Among a great number of cypripediun
insigne received at st. Adams and ''es-

emily of which the flower stalk was
yellow instead of brown, as is usual.

smallest popularity among such sport
i've" objects should not be neglected.
Carefully he put the yellow stalk aside
