The decision of the supreme court Of
Illinois that the Distilling and Cattle
Feeding Company is a trust and is He
gal does not create any surprise. 1t waa
the quite general opinion long ago that
it would be declared an Illegal combina-
tion II the question of its character and
legality ever came squarely before the
courts. There has been a good deal Of
criticism Of the courts and the law Off
GERS of the government because of the
delay in enforcing the law against the
whisky trust and other trusts. The main
reason for the delay, however, has been
the difficulty in getting an issue before
the courts involving the question oil the
character of these combinations. They are
so slippery that the courts have not been
able to get firm grip upon them. Through
influences of one kind and another, they
have been able to keep out of the courts,
or at least to keep the question Of their
character from being presented to the
courts.
1t Is not matter OF much consequence
to the whisky trust that it has been de-
clared illegal, because it is in the hands
of a receiver, and it's affairs are being ad-
justed. 1t is doubtful if an effort will be
made to reorganizo it on the old lines.
But the decision declaring that it is an
illegal combination viii doubtless have the
effect of causing other similar combina-
tons to be prosecuted more vigorously,
with the view OF forcing them out OF cx-
istence.
The cordage trust is in the hands of a
receiver, and it is by no means certain
that it can be reorganized. The fact
that these two big trusts have met with
disaster is likely to have a bad effect upon
other trusts, and it is not at all improba
BILE that the days of trusts, as we now
know them, are numbered.

WnI1e, Euhs.

From the Chicago Record.
Wake pretty buds,
And open. rub your drowsy eyes,
Look out and up where swallow flies
A joyous spirit through the skies;
The spring has conceivable, arise!
Heigh-ho! the waking of the buds.
Break, little buds
The glossy silken coats we wear,
That we may see your faces fair;
Lay, sweets, your tender bosoms bare,
And fragrance all the laughing air,
Heigh-ho! the bursting of the buds.
Give, virgin flowers,
While swift do ny the summer weeks.
Your kisses to the bee that seeks;
Show him your hearts, your viole
cheeks,
And prize the love he truly speaks.
Heigh-ho! the loving of the bee.
Live, lovely flowers,
If but a day! Remembered we'll
When we are gone to dust to dwell;
Each prcGsous kiss the bee doth tell
And sip again in his gold cell.
Heigh-ho! the honey of the bee.
So is it, flowers,
With us; that which we give away
OF life. or love, or roundelay
Survives to bless another day;
That which we keep doth soon decay.
Heigh-ho! the winter of the year.

Proportions and Replies.
From Eatonton (Ga.) Messenger Oen

The extreme silverites ignore facts and
reason, and imagine that epithets and
abuse viii take their place.
FOR example, here are some fac cts based
on experience and history, and the ex-
IRENE silVerites' answer to them:
l. There is not a free coinage country
IN the world to-day that is not on a silver
basis.
The silver extremists answer to this is
''Shylock! Shylockn
2. There is not silver standard coun-
try in the world that uses any gold with
its silver, while on the other hand every
gold standard country in the world uses
silver with its gold
The only attempted answer to this is
Money sharks
8. There is not silver standard coun-
try in the world that has more than one
third the money circulation of the United
States.
To answer this the extreme silverites
Shrek Gold bugsr' Ia
4. There is not silver standard coun-
try in the world where the laboring man
receives fair pay for his days work.
What answer do we he=r to this fact?
Merely this: Blood suckersr'
Wherefore we are constrained to be-
leve that the third party doctrine of I'M
limited unconditional and independent
coinage of silver at 16 to is not at all a
strong or sound one, and that democrats
had better keep clear of it.

1t would probably be safe 70 assert that
Oklahoma is much mere friendly disposed
toward the gold standard thas She was
two weeks ago. If tie gold mining craze
in Oklahoma costinuesto grow for while
longer as rapidly as it has grown during
the last ten days. it might shortly prove
unhealthy for an orator 10 attempt to
preach free sIiver.to the people.
Having determined to police with eruis-
ers and cutters the South Atlantic coast.
this government has taken upon its hands
a pretty considerable job. yet one which
it must perform well. or Spain will hold
it responsible. From Norfolk to the Rio
Granae there are numerous small harbors
more or less accessible 10 railway lines,
into which small craft, such as the Cuban
sympathizers use. can slip and take on
cargo, and slip out again without arous-
ing the suspicious of anybody and run
ming very little risk OF apprehension out
side by the cutters or cruisers. There are
several of such small harbors within
few hours san of Savannah. one cruiser
and three or four cutters cannot adequate
y guard even the Georgia and Florida
coasts

1t has been said by whom it does not
matter, that a woman can do with a
hairpin almost everything that a man can
do with all the tools in a toolchest, ex>
cept saw a plank After the hairpin, as
woman's best friend. probably comes next
the button hook. With these two imple-
ments. or instruments, or whatever else
it may be best suited to call them, the
deft and up-to-date woman can perform
wonders. A Massillon (o) dispatch tells
of an instance in that city few days
ago in which woman, who had swallowed
two pins, refused to have a surgeon call
ed, but with button hook in her own fin
gers fished the pins out of her throat The
throat was frightfully lacerated in the
operation, but the patient will not suffer
death or permanent injury.

The opening of the testimony in the
South Carolina congressional contest cases
brings to mind the fact that the number of
such cases to come before the next House
has lately been considerably reduced. Just
after the election some forty-odd contests
were announced. The number has now
dropped to twenty-five, and it may be still
further decreased before the assembling
of congress. AS things stand now, Louis
lana furnishes three contests, Maryland
one, North Carolina three South Carolina
four, Texas two, Virginia four, Alabama
nois one. 1t will be noted that, with a
single exception. all of the contests are
sent up from southern states. 1t has beer
given out. upon what authority is not
known, that the republican House will not
encourage contests, and it has been added
that the contestant who receives favorable
consideration at the hands of the cleo
lions committee will have to back up his
claim with the strongest kind of evidence.
1t was not so in the last republican House,
but in the forthcoming House the repub-
licans will not have the political excuse
of providing for their party safe working
majority. They will have everything their
own way, hence it may be expected that
they will be comparatively honest in the
decision of election contests. Your repub-
hcan politician can be as honest as any
body when he will not lose anything by it.

An interesting and more or less impor-
tant road race" from Paris to Bordeaux
and return was begun on last Tuesday
morning. The race is between horseless
carriages; that is, carriages propelled by
some mechanical continuance. The dis
tance between the two cities is about
four hundred and sixty miles, which Will
afford a pretty severe test for the vehi-
cles. No less than seventy-six horseless
vehicles, propelled by petroleum, steam
and other mechanical apparatus, are in
the race. The winner will receive a val
liable prize. 1t will probably be a long
time before the carriage horse is forced
to follow the car horse into retirement
but it seems that the trend is inevitably
in that direction. The bicycle has done
much ITO destroy the usefulness OF the
horse for the short distance transporta-
ton of business men and others, and it
may transpire that after while his occu-
patton as the motive power for carriages
will be gene. But it seems that the con-
sideration Of cost is likely to remain in
favor of the horse for some years yet, at
least. Man has made much of the horse
in story and song, the noble animal has
been lauded as mans constant and true
friend, nevertheless if man can find some
thing cheaper to take the horses place,
the ungrateful biped stands ready to
throw his quadruped friend overheard at
short notice

The summer young man is not to be
tolerated longer at the Brooklyn navy
yard. If any of the young men connected
with that establishment wish to adorn
their beauty with the many colored shoes
and shirts and the chromatic neckties that
have been provided by fashion for their
sex, they will have to go somewhere else
TO do it. Commodore Sicard, the command
ant at the navy yard, has issued an order
embodying this sentence: 1.-The wearing
of articles of dress not in accordance with
the uniform regulations, such as tan shoes
and highly colored neckties, is prohibit
ed" That is squarely to the point and is
conclusive. The young blades must give
up part of their armament for "mash-
ing cruises, or they must get out of the
navy yard. No rivalry for gaudiness with
the national flag will be contenanced.

1t is theorX of the free coinage advo-
Gates that under free coinage silver would
be able to hold it's own" with gold; that
is, maintain its relative value at the ratio
of 16 to l. Theory sometimes comes into
conflict with fact in manner that is
damaging to theory A New York firm
publishes an advertisement which deals
the theory that silver is as good as gold
as a money metal blow, and indicates
in their relative value to gold if the minis
were thrown open to free coinage without
any provision to preserve the parity Of
the metals. The firm advertises spoons in
this language: STERLING silver, finer than
COIN only SO cents. You could stamp
these spoons into coin if Uncle Sam would
only say yes and make big money by It,
Weigh a dozen of the teaspoons, any
dozen, Ga to 61a ounces, say SIS on the
average. That's 5000 grains, little more
than 253 grains for each spoon. Weigh a
silver half-dollar, 1929 grains-60la grains
less than the spoon it will buy! And these
spoons are 1927 fine, two points finer than
sterling. q points finer than coing'
The coins used for the purpose of the
illustration are subsidiary coins, but the
principal would be the same if dollars In
stead of half-dollars were used. The eff
ference between the value Of the coins ana
the spoons comes from the pledge of the
government to maintain the parity of the
silver with gold. Remove that pledge AMI
leave silver to stand on its own merits
and it would naturally follow that the
value of the coins would drop to the value
of the spoons; or lower, because the MAX
ers of the spoons must get a profit on
their work. Silver coins backed by the
governments guarantee are as good as
any other money; remove the guarantee
and they would be valued in the markets

Simian Familiarity.

A very pretty girl had an experience
with three of the monkeys in Schmidt
bird store on the avenue yesterday that
has given her a better insight into mon
key nature than she possessed before,
says the Washington Post.
In her left hand she was holding a So
cent bunch of violets ana her pocket
book and on her head she wore a dash
ing Gainsborough hat with ostrich plumes.
Two of the monkeys were in the cage
on a line with the top of the hat and the
third was in a cage by himself below.
where she had only to reach out her right
hand to touch him. This girl loves mon
keys and all three of the monkeys seemed
to take to her as naturally as though they
had known her a long time. Just as the
monkey in the cage by himself clutchad
the bunch of violets and the pocketbook
the couple in the upper story snatchad
the hat. 1t came off. hatpins, veil and
all, and came with such remarkable SUD
denness that she grabbed her jacket fer
fear that would go the same way.
When the monkeys surrendered the mil
linery the hatpins were bent double and
the inside of the cage was so strewn with
feathers that it looked as though the in
mates had been moulting. And now the
young lady declares a monkey is a nasty
beast.

only 5000 people, only a few more than
are contained in the. single parish of st.

rather than in the direction of cheap sill
Yer dollars. The unanswerable arguments
presented at the Sound Money convention
