ABOUT THE TRUSTS !
Congress Does Not Seem to Monkey
with Them.
The Great Trusts of Which Cleveland
Is on Are in 1t.
THE ANTITRUST LAW NOT KNOWN
All the People Who Have Vote Do Not
Seem to Want to Tackle the
Vicious Thing.

WAsHINGTON, Sept. 12-[ Especial. i
The present administration has been in
power six months and thus far nothing
has been done to enforce the law against
trusts and combinations in restraint of
trade and for controlling production and
prices. In this respect the administra-
tion has disappointed public expectation.
The national platform of the democracy
is unequivocal in its denunciation of
trusts. 1t demands the rigid enforcement
of the laws made to prevent and control
these combinations, together with such
further legislation in restraint of their
abuses as experience may show TO be
necessary" President Cleveland indi-
Gated in his inaugural address that he
was in full sympathy with the platform
enunciation He said The existence Of
immense aggregations of kindred enter
prises and combinations of business in
terests, formed for the purpose Of limit
ing production and fixing prices, is incon-
sistent with the fair field which ought TO
be open to every independent activity.

A moment later a huge tail came n.y.
ing over the bow Of the boat. and strik-
ing the dog, w..o stood there barking,
knocked him into tie water. A big pair
OF wide open jaws was just about to
close on the tempting morsel when Will
da stopped down, and catching the dog's 8
forepaws 10y a sudden effort drew him
INTO the boat, the saurian's Jaws closing
with snap that indicated great disap-
pointment. The dog covered down in
the bottom of the boat, while the girls
attended to the other gators, who seemed
to manifest an inclination to get into the
canoe. Several shots were fired at the
reptiles, but their taste of blood had
made them fearless.
y scream from Josie aroused Vida.
who was striving to pole the boat ashore.
Turning around she saw her sister half
drawn out of the canoe, q big monster
gator having seized her dress. Josie
was beating the gator over the nose
with her rifle with one hand, while with
the other she endeavored to hold herself
i'll the boat. Without moments hesi-
tation Vida raised the long pole she
was using, and poising it a moment
threw 1t at the gators head. BY rare
good fortune it struck him in the eye
and penetrated to the brain. With a
loud below tAe reptile sank.
For the next few minutes the brave
girls had all they could do-one firing at
the ssurians as they approached too
closely, while the other. using tho breech
OF her gun as paddle, urged the canoe
to shore. As it touched the sand both
leaped out and ran up the bank. None
toosoon either, for big, pursuing gator,
in its desperation at losing its prey,
threw itself forward. crushing in the
sides of the boat, The girls concluded
that they had had enough hunting for
that day and returned home by another
route. te.-Millon.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
Topic for the Week Beginning Oct. %
Comment by Rev. $. II. Doyle.

TorIc.-Gentleness. A fruit of the spirit
Eph. iv. 80. 81: Col. Iii, l2-l5.
No trait Of Christian character per
haps is more desirable and shines with
greater beauty and attractiveness amid
the bitterness, anger and evil speaking
Of the natural world than gentleness-
sweetness of disposition. He who deals
gently with the faults and imperfections
OF his fellow men is admired, respected
and loved by all. Gentleness is Chris
tian grace much to be desired. Let us
notice three things in reference to this
grace:
/. Tho source Of gentleness Eph. iv,
30). 1t is mtilnated in this reference
that gentleness is the fruit of the Holy
Spirit. By the Spirit we are sealed unto
redemption and this work of the Spirit
is performed by renewal of our nature.
which implants spirit Of gentleness in
us. Our topic also suggests that the
source Of gentleness, as Christian
race. is the Spirit. and Paul makes a
i.s.tlv" statement to this effect In GAL
v. -, when he enumerates "gentleness"
as one Of the fruits Of the Spirit. 1t is
indeed only the Holy Spirit who can
change onr natures and transform our
dispositions. To Him. then, we should
pray for this grace if we have it not,
and for larger measure OF it II we al
ready possess it.
2. The nature Of gentleness tEph. iv,
32; Col. iii. 12-i0. In these references
many of what may be called the attri-
butes OF gentleneSs are enumerated, such
as kindness. tender heartedness, forgive
ness, meekness. forbearance, long suffer
ing and charity. All Of these characters
tics may be said to 90 10 make up this
Christian grace and to be included In it,
Gentlencss therefore may BE- called that
sweetness Of disposition and Of temper,
especially toward our interiors, or those
who wrong us. or those who worry us.
and toward everything that tends to irri-
tate and anger us. that makes us kind
and forbearing, willing TO forgive. and
willing to be long suffering and endur-
ing. and under all circumstances to con
trol evil tempers and dispositions.
8. The Importance Of gentleness
There are several facts that 70 to en-
phasize the Importance Of gentleness
The fact that it is fruit OF tue Spirit IL
one thing that shows it is important.
The value Of II as trait Of character
emphasizes it. and also the Importance
attached TO II in the Scriptures shows it
TO be valuable rs do also its effects. Let
Us therefore more and more cultivate
TINS Christian grace in dependence upon
the Holy Spirit

True to His Principles.

A case of fidelity to principle is re-
ported from a large city in Texas, where
prominent railroad officer lost his posi-
ton because Of his efforts to close the sa-
looms on Sunday. The liquor dealers boy
cotted the railroad because they retained
an officer who as private citizen en-
deavored TO enforce the laws Of his land.
Finally the railroad decided not TO en-
dure the boycott longer and gave the
officer iii question the choice of retiring
from the Sunday closing committee or
resigning his railroad position. He nobly
chose the latter, and now the Christian
people Of his city (San Antonio) have de-
clared war against the saloon. Union
