GAS TRuST.
Demand Made in Chicago for the AP-
pointment of a Receiver.


CHICAGO, Oct. "a demand has
finally been made for the appointment
of a receiver for the gas trust In the
circuit court Thomas II. Martin has
filed lengthy bill against the Chicago
Gas Light and Coke company, the Peo-
pies Gas Light and Coke company, the
Consumer. Gas company, the Equitable
Gas Light and Fuel company, the Hyde
Park Gas company. the Lake Gas com
pany and the Fidelity Insurance com
pany, of Philadelphia.
The court is asked to appoint re-
ceiver for these companies whose duty
it shall be to take possession of all the
assets. franchises and privileges belong
ing TO the various concerns and continue
to manufacture gas under the direction
of the court: also to enjOin the Fidelity
Insurance Trust and Safe Deposit com
pany from acting as trustee under the
contracts under which the companies
were consolidated.
The court is further asked to cancel
the stocks held under these contracts
and 10 place them in the hands of re-
ceiver. Meanwhile an injunction Is
sought to restrain any disposition or the
stock.
Allegations are made in the bill that
bv reason of the different companies be-
ing controlled by the trust it is impOssl-
bic for them to discharge their public
duties, except at the direction of an out
side force. and that it is the design of
the combination to limit the supply OF
gas and greatly enhance its price over
. its actual worth to consumers.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 3.-The theft Of
$440, 900 from the Auer Incandescent
Light company, by Tyndale Palmer,
q former Philadelphia newspaper naLir
in which he was joined by hotel keeper
named Freitis, of Rio JGneiro, has just
been brought to light.
The company is owned solely by y q.
Granger, the president, and ex-senator
Joseph y. Gazzam, vice president. They
formed the South American Welsbach
Incandescent Light company, and seHf
young Palmer to Rio TO boom the inve8-
ton. The Freitis sold the patent rights
for $51O, 900 in gold. and upon Palmers
return he reported the sale as havIng
been made for $4,000. OF which $40 500
was expended in his salary expenses
and commission.
The theft was not learned until 5v7E
other men were sent to Brazil on & !s1'r-
ond mission, although reports had
reached the ears of the company.
Palmer was sent to England 10 nego-
tate securities of one of ex-senator GTaz-
Zam's iron companies. and, upon &C.
manding a higher commission, was dis

THE FAVORITE SON.

The following from the Chicago
Tribune Of June 18th (Republican)
contains food for solid reflection. It
will do for the great common people
of all parties to take home and think
about:
When Mr.. Chauncey DepeW came to ChicskO
four years ago, 1t was as candidate for the
presidential nomination, with the New York
delegates behind him. But he learned speedily
that there was prejudice In the west, which
wasInsurmountable, even II uDjustlhable, against
making railroad man president. The farmers
Of the prairles liked Mr.. DepeW personally, but
they fanced they saw the VsnderbiltS behind
him, seeking to get hold Of the presidency and
consolidate 1t with the New York Central
Mr.. Depew yielded to the inevitable, though
not without pang. But, while renOunclng his
dreams Of the highest place In the country, he
laid hands upon another which certainly ranks
envlable. Unable to be president himself, he
became president maker-a Republican War
wick. Four years ago he made Mr.. Harrison
the nominee, and, having had no cause TO be
dissatisfied with his handlwork, he went TO Min
neapOllS last week and gave him the nomination
q second time. Whether he has looked far
enough into the future to decide on whose head
he win place the crown four years hence is doubt
ful. II he has, curious world would like to
know who is to be In the White house from 1897
70 1901.
Some Individuals may be inclined to smile at
the idea that the president Of New York rail-
road can govern the actions Of conventions and
select the ruler Of great republic. Mr.. Depew
has, however, many engaging qualities which
distinct and impressive personality when he
rises 70 address public meeting, and he COM
mandS attention. He has an amiable dlSposl-
The advocate., 1892-07-06
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE.

A careful reading of the silver
planks in the national Republican
and Democratic platforms shows
them to be identical in principle. Both
are opposed TO free coinage. The
play upon words respecting the use
of both gold and silver as money
under such regulations and restriC-
tions as will secure parity of value,
is simply designed to deceive the peo-
pie. There is no intention OF either
party to adopt free coinage. This
would be sufficiently apparent from
the well known sentiment Of the can
didates were there no other indica-
tion of their policy. But we are not
left in the dark by any means upon
this subject. Leading papers Of both
parties freely acknowledge the pur-
port of their platforms. The Topeka
Capital of June 26th has a little
slang paragraph in which it clearly
indicates the Republican understand
ing Of them as follows:
The defeat Of Ben Clover was natural enough.
InaSmuch as both old parties have declared

In relation to the labor organizations.
The printers Of New York are not dis
posed to accept the settlement made

which ls so completely opposed to the
course Of the nominee for ten years past.
The labor organizations are resolved to
influence the Chicago convention to the
nomination Of candidates who are not
hostile to their interests. SO strong Is
the impression that grave mistake has
been made, that the withdrawal of Reid
