BRITISH BORN VOTERS.

A Vancouver paper calls upon English
born voters to combine In the coming Presi-
Dental election and make their influence
felt on the side OF their native country. 1t
is assumed OF course that when an English
born voter votes in the interest of his native
country he also votes for the best interests
OF the country of his adoption. American
voters as a rule do not, 1t Is supposed, know
what is for their own good A fundamental
error lies at the bottom Of our Vancouver
coDtemporary's argument. 1t is assumed
that there is large class of voters ia the
United States more hostile to Great Britain
than the average American voter The
English-born voter is urged to throw his
influence against this class of voters, gen.
orally known as Irish-Americans, to encour-
age American politicians to be independent
Of Irish Influence. The Vancouver journal
says:
knowing that by catering for the national
prejudices OF one large section oftheIr eommtI-
hity they lAmerican politicians only offend an
even larger contingent, The politicians concerned
WIZ very promptly adopt very different attitude
from that OF to-day. American politicians will
then generally resolve to view the political ques.
tons that concern their great republic from the
standpoint OF enlightened national seif-interest.

THE REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK.

Ii the twenty-five new members of the
Republican County Committee will take
charge of the business of the committee and
arrange for primaries at which citizens may
vote with some assurance that votes will be
counted as cast, the chances of Republican
success this fall in the municipal election
are good. Unless some such action Is taken
there will be independent nominations that
will bury the spoilsmen in oblivion. Clean
municipal politics is the thing our voters
now keep in their mind. They have been
sold out by combinations of bosses SO often
that nothing but a movement under the
direction of men of known character will
command their confidence. Belonging to
neither faction, the twenty-five new COM
mitteemen are masters of the situation.
They were appointed to give the Crimmins

Crimmins and Kelly knew that the election
of their candidate was impossible, but it is
believed that they are willing to perform

an election may be possible. 1t is absolutely

few days ago mention was made in
The CALL of meeting of stockholders in
the Standard Oil Company, which had been
called TO determine whether or no the time
had not come to wind up the concern. The
meeting was held in New York on March
81. and 736,720 shares out of $50. COO voted
unanimously 10 wind up. The reason was
given by Mr.. Alexander Orr in these words |:
1.-The law of the land has said that from
the standpoint of late legislative enactments
the Standard Oil Trust has not now legal
existence and therefore must be dissolved"
The existence of the trust was as illegal ten
years ago as it is now; but the parties in
control were not so rich then as they are
now and had less to lose in case the courts
should hold them responsible in damages
for resistance to law; hence, perhaps, their
resolve to surrender.
There Is some obscurity In the terms of
the resolution under which the trust is TO
be dissolved. lis words are the following ::
All property held by said trust, except stocks
OF corporations, shall be sold by said trustees at
private sale and The proceeds thereof, together
with any money belonging to the trust. shall be
distributed TO the owners OF trust certificates
according 10 their respective interests. All
stocks OF corporations held. by said trustees shall
be dstribUted.to the owners Of trust certificates
in-proportion 10 the respective equitable inter-
ests OF said owners In The stocks so held 10 trust
as eyid need by said trust certificates that Is 10
say. each owner OF trust certificate or certificates
shall be entitled 10 deliver said certificate or
certificates for cancellation. and to receive in
lieu thereof an assignment of as many shares or
fractions of shares in each OF the corporations
whose stocks are held In the said trust as he Is
entitled 10 by virtue Of said certificate or certh.
Gales; IL being the intent and meaning OF this
resolution that the equitable interest in said
stocks represented by trust certificates may thus
on demand be converted into legal interests
represented by assignments and transfers of
said stocks by said trustees 10 the parties
entitled thereto, which transfers and assign
ments may be entered on the books OF the sew
eral corporations upon The demand OF the holders
OF said assignments. thereby merging or con
verting equitable ownership into legal ownership
IN said STOCKS
Thus the trust. after selling its real and
personal property, except its shares in other
corporations. is to resolve itself into its
original elements ana to divide money and
shares alike among holders OF trust eertif-
Gates in proportion to their holdings.
Before doing so, however. and as its last
corporate act. the trust agreed to water its
stock from sos. 600 900 to S1l0, 000, 900, and to
distribute the water among the companies
which combined to form the trust. The
following table will show the.share of water
allotted TO few of the larger commands:

A MISSING DIAMOND.
Mrs. Margaret Boyno Seeking to Receive
Gem Left With Jeweler.

Mrs. Margaret Boyno Seeking to Recover
Gem Left With a Jeweler.
Mrs. Margaret Boyne, the wife of Captain
Thomas Boyne of Bryant street, is in a
great quandary as to the loss of valuable
diamond. Some four months ago she en-
trusted stone valued at Si20 to the care of
james Petticrew. a kearny-street ieweler,
for the purpose of setting the same. Petit
crew died about Christmas time, and Mrs.
Boyne did not hear of his demise until a
few weeks ago.
She then Immediately tried to recover her
jewel and has been trying ever since. The
executor states that no diamond answering
the description given by Mrs. Boyne was
found among Petticrew's effects, and states
that the latter was in the habit of allowing
travelling dealer the use of his safe. When
Petticrew was lying in bed suffering from
his last illness this man came and borrowed
his keys and the combination of the safe. in
order 10 remove his goods. The executor
says that no other person has had access 20
the safe. and expresses his doubt as to
Petticrew ever having had the stone as
claimed by Mrs. Boyne. The lady has
given him one day to admit her claim or
threatens 10 bring suit

ms wafer Is, oil course, iQleHQeQ TO cap
italze the earnings which these CORPORATIONS
made while they were controlled by the
trust, and which they are expected TO con-
tinue TO make now that each company ad-
ministers its own business. If the issue
Of water is commensurate with those earn
ings The Refining Company of Philadelphia
and the Standard Oil Company of New Jer-
sey have heretofore been undercapitalized.
1t will lie noted that no provision has been
made to guard against the inconvenience
which the trust was created to stop. The
successors of the trust are free to compete
with each other, and TO cut prices whenever
the separate interests of any one of them
suggests such policy. 1t is probable that
the ROckefellers and their associates, whose
interest in the production and distribution
Of oil remains as large as it ever was, are
relying upon the gradual exhaustion OF the
oil wells and the elimination of tie supply
to avert the competition which ragged in 1876.
The moral Of the dissolution of the trust
is that the day of reckoning is near at hand.
TheSe never has been in any country more
powerful combination than that OF the oil
magnates No syndicate ever controlled so
large sum of money nor was administered
with such ability. Ii appeared to be ab-
sOlutely impregnabie. 1t owned legislatures
and courts; il held in its hands the success
of politicians. In the States in which it
chiefly operated no man could hope for
political success in opposition to its wishes.
1t dominated conventions, swayed elections
and made or marred merchants. Its alliance
meant prosperity; its enmity was failure.
And yet it has now crumbled to pieces like
AleXander's empire or the magnificent
dominion which Charles Y bequeathed 10
his son.
lis fate will be shared by the other trusts
the sugar trust the cordage trust, tie
barbed- wire trust. the nail trust, the glass
trust, the tin-plate trust and all the others.
The vice which caused the collapse of the
oil trust is common TO them all. They have
all been bottomed on the fallacy that CON-
bination can defeat competition and can in
crease the cost Of living for the sake of en-
riching the persons who combine. That is
principle which is neither sound in morals
nor consistent with political economy, and
however it may seem for time to flourish,
it Is certain in the END to be defeated by the
uprising Of the people.

PORTERS BLUFF.
The Bluff Company Holds An H.
teresting Meeting
And Decides to Begin at Once Beau;ify-
ing This Natural Summer Resort
They Mean Business.

The Bluff Company is not dead,
neither is it sleeping. A meeting of
the members was held last evening
and steps were taken by which work
will begin at onceimproving Porier's
Bluff. The executive committee was
instructed to go ahead and prepare
the bluff for green house and park,
and work will begin at once. They
propose to grade and level of the top
of this bluff, and prepare for planting
shrubs, evergreens and flowers, and
also make park. They will have a
complete flower garden, a lovely
park, and perhaps, fine hotel, all in
operation by spring. This is not
mere speculation. The men who
have purchased this property are in
earnest aud intend making this point
most attractive one. They will
build a street car line to the bluff and
improve the streets so that they will
be good driveways as well.
The only drawback to their plans
now is getting street to the bluff.
This, however, they think will be
satisfactorily settled. A committee
was appointed last evening, consist
ing of Judge Tyler, w. M. Daniel
and Frank s. Beaumont, to confer
with committee from the City
Council, with view to having the
street opened from the passenger de-
pot to the bluff. If this can be done
the compan" will at once put a line
of street cars on from the depot to the
bluff. These cars will connect with
the regular line at the depot, giving
the travelling public and citizens gen
orally an excellent way to reach the
bluff. If the street can not be opened
they will build car track out Madi-
son, and reach the bluff by running
in north of the property of l.. A
RagsdaIe. The general impression
is, however, that the City Counci
can not we'll refuse to open up thu
above mentioned street, az it will no
only be of advantage to the public
but it will aid an enterprise that will
in the end benefit the city. Any en-
terprise that adds to the attraction
of a city, aids in giving that cit.
character abroad, and the enterpris
that these gentlemen have on foot i
one that will certainly attract atten
ton and bring people to Clarksviile
