Heavily Insured MOnarchs.

The crowned heads of Europe seem to
take a great deal of stock in life insur-
ance. 1t is announced that the king of
Portugal has just taken out a $500, 900
policy on his life, but that is an insig-
nifcant investment compared with those
of some of the other po~tentates. The
late Emperor Frederick of Germany was
insured for "a, 000, 900. The queen re-
gent of Spain has her life insured for a
large amount in behalf Of her two little
daughters, following the example of her
husband, whose death mulcted the vari-
GUS companies in which he was insured
for s., 900, 600.
King Leopold of Belgium's life is heav-
lily insured, It's is also that of Queen Vic
toria. The queens husband, the late
prince consort, was insured for close up
on $4,000 900, the income of which has
been enjoyed by his widow. About the
only sovereign in Europe who is not in
sured is the car of Russia, the companies
regarding him as too unsafe n risk on ac-
count of the nihilists. -Boston Herald.

Trusts Not Dangerous.

Natural laws, after ali, are stronger
than the contrivances of man." writes
George A. Rich in The Popular Science
Monthly. 1t is Mr.. Rich's opinion that
the great industrial trusts and monopo-
lies which are a favorite form OF enter
prise at present do not need laws to pre-
vent them from becoming extortionate
and oppressive. Give them rope enough,
and they will hang themselves, in his
judgment. That has already proved
true of the Cordage trust, at any rate, he
thinks.
The plan whereby a great trust works
its own undoing is as follows: 1t unites
the corporations engaged in the AMI
facture of a certain article into n great
company. All join in-the weak and
worthless, with little capital and anti
quated and wornout machinery; the
powerful and prosperous, whose heads
are hustlers and whose plants are up to
date. The whole is capitalized at more
than its market value. A paper value is
thus established, on the whole of which,
to make things look just right, a divi-
dend of ! or 8 per cent a year must be
paid.
Perhaps the corporation succeeds for
a number Of years in paying this. 1t
gets the name Of being a powerful and
rich company and Of making great re-
turns on its original investments. Cap
ital looking for investment surveys its
field and finds a good opening for a rival
company manufacturing the same arti-
Gle. The rivals enter the field with new
machinery and carry no dead weight of
old fashioned methods or old fogy men.
They have the advantage in that they
a utilize every dollar of their capital,
and thus the old trust is brought to
grief. 1t may be again that the old
trust puts up its staple to an extortion-
ate price and tleeces the public. In this
case, as in the other, rival companies
start and correct the first one. This was
the reason for the downfall of the great
copper syndicate in France and Amer
lea, second in its disastrous results only
to the Panama scandal itself.
The law is inevitable. Enormous prof
its lead to the establishment of additional
Independent plants. Mr.. Rich reminds
US that, powerful as the American Sugar
Refining company is, it has never been
able to control the Llarket for any length
of time.

HARk FROM THE TOMBS.
Conviction of Voters Who Came From New
York's DOlefuI Prison.

Conviction of Voters Who Came From New
York's Doleful Prison.
Three men were convicted in the court
of oyer and terminer on Monday two of
them pleaded guilty. of the offense of
voting from the Tombs in violation of
section 3 of article 9 of the state consti-
tuition, which declares that mo person
shall be deemed to have gained or lost a
residence by reason of his presence or
absence while in the service of the Unit
ed States, or while kept in any aims
house or other asylum at public expense,
or while confined in any public prison."
The case of the defendant Cady, who
was found guilty by a jury, was peculiar.
He had voluntarily resided for seven
years, without commitment for any Of
tense, in the Tombs. He had no other
home. He was not qualified to vote from
any other domicile. He registered and
voted from the city prison, from which
he readily obtained egress, and he was
tried and convicted. Judge Barrett an
nounced, however, that he would give a
certificate of reasonable doubt, SO that
the question whether a man without a
home, except such as he obtains for him
self in a city prison, is actually and to-
tally disfranchised, might be decided by
a higher court. The situation is certain
ly an odd one.-New York Sun.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, April o. The

by a fire which broke out between 4

worth $4,000, is all gone. The theatre
roof, on which a score OF more firemen
stood, went down and the men were CT an,

lives to drag out the forms of the dead

soon brought out, and those able to
speak said there must be ten or more in
the ruins. The burning roof had fallen
on them and they were roasted to death

Several men working in the theatre were
caught by falling timbers and portions
Of the roof, making the rescue Of the i'm
prisoned men impossible. The police re-
port sixteen lives lost. The property loss
is 100000. Assistant Chief Devine was

THE MYSTERY EXPLAINED.
Frank Hatton Reviews In Faoetious Style
Senator Morgsn's Hawaiian Report

Frank Hatton Reviews In Faoetious Style
Senator Morgsn's Hawaiian Report
Some day, in the sweet by and by per-
haps, we shall know exactly what Sena-
tor Morgan's report on the Hawaiian in
vestiRation really means. We shall know
whether it IL intended as q manly dem
onstration Of American sentiment or .
suave and ssrvile withdrawing of a dis
creditable bluuder-whether 1t is q shrek
Of the noble bird of freedom or the still
small MARBLE of the lowly cuckoo.
For the present we are able to disen-
tangle from the bewildering labyrinth Of
its language one isolated fact Of mo-
ment-the fact that Mr.. Morgan and a
majority Of the committee with him be-
lieve in the annexation of the islands.
Out of that wild and tossing sea Of rhet-
oric we have succeeded in snatching
this lonely derelict. But all the rest of
1t is enveloped in a tender haze of volu-
bility, which, while it accomplishes won
ders in the way of stimulating guess
work, is ~valueless as a guide to definite
conclusions. The utterance appears to
be confused with howevers and notwith-
standings and m%oreovers, and there isin
it an o%pulence of eff so, why not?' pro-
fundity that battles exact analysis.
According to this astonishing docu-
ment, everybody connected with the
Hawaiian incident behaved like a states
man, a scholar, a hero and a patriot.
MI. Stevens was correct, and SO was Mr..
Blount. President Dole is a great man
on the right track, and Liliuokalani a
perfect lady, if somewhat in distress.
The United States authorities acted
wisely in recognizing the queens down.
fall, and the administration has kept
we'll within its lawful powers in trying
to set her up again. In a word, the re-
port furnishes a common ground upon
which all men may meet and where all
sorts Of opinions can find encourage
ment and sympathy.
As we say, there is just II downright
proposition to which the bewildered citi-
zen may cling, and that is the clear, un-
e~quivocal and unmitigated declaration
by seven out of the nine parties to the
report that they favor the annexation of
Hawaii by the United States. -Washing-
ton Post.

A committee from the City club of
New York, in conference with another
from the trades unions, have drafted a
plan for reformed city government. The
plan is to be presented to the constitu-
tional convention of New York state in
May. One object of the trainers is to
separate state and municipal elections
entirely, thus %divorcing city govern
ments from politics as far as possible.
State elections are arranged to he held in
even years, city elections in odd years.
The legislature will be forbidden to do
more than enact general laws for the con-
troll of cities. Special laws for any par
ticular case must be submitted to the
people themselves of a city before such
acts finally become operative. Any city
containing 10000 inhabitants is entitled
to prepare and adopt its own charter,
subject to the general laws for the gov
eminent of cities. The charter is to be
adopted by vote of the citizens of that
particular place. Avery important fea-
ture of the new scheme is that it makes
all privileges, licenses and franchises,
such as gas and waterworks and street
railways, belong to the city itself under
the constitution of the state, and this
cannot be changed except by amending
the constitution. A city may lease gas
works or street railway privileges to a
private company, but not for a longer
period than 80 years, and then not un-
less a majority of the citizens vote in
favor of such lease. The company leas-
ing such privileges may own its operat-
ing plant, but never the franchise itself,
which is unalterably in the city's hands.

The stock of surplus grain in this
country is slowly but surely being re-
duced. March /, 1892, there were $780,
000, 900 bushels Of corn in store among
the farmers. March /, 1894, the amount
vas only $50, DOC, 900, although the crop
in the two intervening years was only 8
per cent below the ordinary yield. Va
ried farming, owing to the low price of
corr during the past two years, will ac-
count for some of the falling off, but
after taking that into account there re-
mains a deficit that can be caused in no
other way than by increased demand for
the corn for human food. In other
words, u population is approaching
the period when we shall consume most
Of our cereals at home. Then perhaps
their price will never fall so low again.
