A CHILD'S PHILOSOPHY.

"No, dear, that's not right, Toes

But it sounds like toze,"

Then, IN order to enforce this prOpo-
sitiOn, the mother called on her daugh-

"No, you're wrong again. This

TRUST COMPANIES.

The name "Trust Company " sounds
well-unless we happen to know them
thoroughly, inside and out. In many
OF the States. institutional are authorized
undert the laws, which flourish the above
name, and some of them the still higher
sounding and seductive One of Loan
and Trust cOmpenies." They are often
practically unlimited in amount and
range Of buslnesS-If the people will
only trust hem enough, and they are
managed by a class Of cheeky individ-
ualS who necessarily repeat their fears
that other men and especially farmers
are unreliable and dishonest. These
bankers, trust managers and grumb-
lerS are as q rule, If any rule applies to
them, suspicious and i%mpudent to the
pubiIc, In exact proportion to the legal
exemptions and ImmunitieS against
paying their honest debts, which thew
themselves enjoy.
The Western Insurance ReUje1U of St.
Louis, gives a thorough overhauling to
some trust" concerns not a thousand
miles from It's own Office. It may be
asserted thau the ReUje1U is sore be-
cause these trust companies" en-
crOach upon the insurance bushes. Be-
that as IL may, the picture is Just as
valuable, because it is probably a true
one. That journal says: The fact Is
that the trust companies are authorized
to do about all of the really profitable
business that the banks can do, and il
is probably a matter Of self protection
for the latter to be in control of the
former as far as possible. But the
powers Of a trust company are enOr-
mOusly more extensive than those of a
bank-indeed it is almost unlimited as
to the kinds of business it may trans
act. Moreover, it is responsible to
none but itself. It's managers make
no statement except to its own stock
holders. It's clients may not know the
ratio between its assets n liabilities,
nor what the items are on either side
of the balance sheet. These matters
may not be examined into by the State
for the safety of the general public. In
other words a Missouri trust company
is a thing to be trusted with the eyes
shut or not at all.-EG.

A LOBBY
he Southern Mercury says:

The Southern Mercury says:
The most powerful lobby ever seen
in the city of Washington is now as
sembling there to secure the demOneti-
cation of silver and stop its purchase
by the government. 1t is thought the
scheme will not be perfected before
March 4th. Cleveland will then call
an extra session for that purpose, and
compel Congress to do it. While the
farmers Of this country, and their
wives and children, are lighting crab
grass and cookie burs, and mechanics
vaInly seeking employment, Congress,
under the whip of Cleveland, Mills,
Carlisle & Co., will be finishing up the
job Of transferring the property, earn

you to hear from us. We were once a
part of Mountain Chapel Alliance. but

did. We organized Statewide Alliance
with eight MEMBERS. We set to work
to build up a lodge nearer to us, and
we labOred hard but with little success
last year. Sometimes we would al
most give up in despair, but finally we
began to receive some few members.
In December we received five members
which greatly revived US. We have
eight applications for next meeting.
Now we are about 40 strong with a
fair prospect before us. l take the
liberty OF thanking our neighbors for
helping us build up our lodge TO what
it is, which, | think, will be equal to
any in the State soon. We are 0

to vote as he pleases and say no more
