The Double Headed Monster Of Trusts and
Sleek watering.

The shameful scandal Of the Sugar Trust
is now unmasked before the Nation. Tie
startling revelation that 100000 900 of its
stock is water, on which 10000, 900 of peo-
pie are paying large dividends on what is
constantly consumed as a necessity in their
homes, brings out clearly to the public con-
science the corrupting influence of stock
watering in corporations and business asso-
Citations.
This double-headed monster of trusts and
cIpital aduteration is a stern reality more
enormous in it's destrutiye consequences
than any of the tabled creatures OF
ancient heather my thology. II is corro-
ding the foundations of morality
aad patriotism and striking fatal blows at
the highest welfare of the American people.
The large and threatening evils, the mag
nitude of the facts, cannot be mistaken nor
longer concealed. The Sugar Trust braz-
emily assumes to be the ruling despot in the
markets Of the country. 1t dictates what
Congress and the Chief Executive OF the Ma
ton shall do with our tariff laws and how the
economic affairs of the country shall be
managed. 1t has just shown its enormous
power and usurpation at Washington. 1t
assumes to decide the prices which the
sugar planters of Louisiana and HawaiI
and the sug4r-beet producers of Ne
braska, Kansas, and California shall re-
ceiye for their raw sugar at the Trust re-
fineries, while it also il the absolute dicta
tor of the price paid by the grocers and
their customers for the refined sugar.
This octopus of monopoly and corruption,
in blood, muscle and purpose, is not unlike
the monstrous creature of evil which has
poured hundreds of millions of fraud and
deception into the railroad stocks and bonds
of the Nation, and is inilictipg untold mis-
chief through telegraph, telephone, gas,
and electric light stocks. This gigantic
fraud of stockwaterng is most alarming
Its crushing power extends from the Allan
tic to the Pacific, and through the South as
well as in the great Northwest. 1t is fear
fully pernicious in stock gambling as well
as on the great highways of commerce. 1t
is time the American public looked it square
in the face and put in play the agencies and
influences to put limit or termination to q
tremendous evil. If it be wrong for the
farmer to mix water with his milk and de
ceiYe his customers in the sale; if it be
criminal for the counterfeiter to mix pewter
and bronze with his coin and pass it off as
genuine silver and gold, how can it be
honest or allowable for brokers and stock
agents to sell shares and bonds of corpora
tons to unsuspecting buyers and investors,
which is largely water, having no intrinsic
value except what paper and type have
impaired TO them? Shall little frauds and
thefts be punishable by imprisonment and
dishonor, while giant frauds and large
financial abomiaations are alloFed to
go on unmoested. sitnot time thatall true
. friends of the country took decisive action
Is it not time that Congress and our State
Legislature should see what effective meas
ures can be adopted to stamp out or greatly
cripple these obvious public evils?

The Oriqin z.of Of The Serum Treatment.

PARIS, Oct. 23.-President Casimir- Peri
er visited the PAsteur Institution today.
While there he was introduced by Prof.
Pasteur to DR.. Roux, the originator of the
new remedy for diphtheria. The President
warmly congratulated DR.. Roux upon his
success in perfecting and apply ing the serum
treatment and conferred upon him the
cross of commander of the Legion of Honor.
DR.. Roux, in replying, praised Drs. Be
hiring and eer, the German bacteriol-
ogists, whom he referred to as the real dis
coverers of the new remedy.
The President then inspected the la
boratory and the horses from which the
serum is obtained. He was Informed that
700 litres Of blood had been drawn from
one of the horses, which nevertheless re-
NAMED in an excellent condition. After
ward, he vieited the Trousseau hospital,
where many children are under treatment
by the new remedy.

1t is automatically reported this week that
a New York broker who has been Demo-
crat all his life had placed about $50, 1000
on Morton a. odds Of 10 l on the ock
Exchange. Ii is said that the same man
yesterday offered to bet $40 to $4,000
that the Republican candidates plurality
would go beyond 10000. Another case
was reported of an order from St. Louis to
a broker on the floor to place $40 600 on
Morton at the prevailing odds.

The incident of Mr.. Morton's coachman
shows Secretary Carlisle before the
American public in most unfsvorsble,
if not contemplate light. 1t does not come
up even to the proportions of peanut poll
tics. Many of the Democratic papers do not
spare him. The remarks of the New York
World on the Kentucky politician are most
scathing. The three following newspapers
of Democratic proclivties are fair speci-
mems of the views of airminded persons
on the subject;
Springfield Republican, 1t is a contemp-
tible piece of poitics-this concerning Can
didate Morton's imported English coach
man.
Kansas City Star.--It appears to be the
opinion of most fair minded men that in the
case of Mr.. Morton's Coachmsn the treasury
department has made sad mess of it.
Philaielphia Times. While we are thus
straining at the gnat of depor,iag coach
man who comes as a servant employed in a
family when abroad, we have been permit
ting thousands of pauper and criminal im-
migrants to land upon our shores and as
yet without deporting any of them.
The Buffalo Commercial says it is sig
nifcant fact that not one Democratic paper
in the city of New York, protesting to be
respectable, has tried to make capital out of
Morton's coacbmsn. In ittleness and
want of official dignity this effort of the
Treasury Secretary is about on par with
the attempt of Cleveland and Gresham to
restore ex-Queen Lii.

The registration throughout New York
state is very heavy, and the fact adds n
fresh weight to tho depressed spirits of the
Democracy both in that state and through
out the country. A full vote means Re
publican victory, and Republican victory
this year means Republican president
in 1896. They are playing for high stakes
in the Empiro state.

Death Warning.

Oliver Wendell Holmes recorded his
protest against the custom Of telling a
person VINO does not actually ask to know
that he cannot recover. AS that loving
observer of mankind asserted, so must ev
cry one who knows whereof he speaks as
sert that people almost always come to I'M
derstand that recovery is impossible. 1t is
rarely needful to tell any one that this is
the case. When nature gives the warning,
death appears to be as little feared as sleep.

1t looks as if watch case engraving
might afford occupation to some of the en-
gravers driven out of their trade by one or
another photo engraving processes. Some
good and interesting work of the kind is
now done upon watch cases, and elaborate
designs are executed upon gold and silver
Sometimes design upon gold is set into
the back of silver watch. This is very
delicate and pretty device, and after a
watch has been carried u few years even
crudoly executed bit of engraving wears
down to pleasing delicacy.
Philadelphia's boast that she is the city
of homes, and not of tenmcnts, sounds odd
in face of some facts related in Gabriel
Thomas book, published in 1857, when
the city was not yet 20 years old. Gabriel
called his work "An historical descrip-
ton of the province of Pennsylvania,
including an account of the city of
philadelphia" He aflirms the houses of
Philadelphia were stately and of brick,
generally stories high, after the mode OF
London, and as many as seven families in
each" This seems to indicate that Fhila-
delphia had the apartment house system
nearly 200 years ago.

however, they smelled smoke and began to

finally located the trouble upon the unfor-

rising in clouds. There was no great DAM
