A Railroad Trust.

Senator Chandler of New Hamp-
shire, has written letter to President
Cleveland in which he calls his attention
to a compact entered into by eight rail
road trunk lines of the L nited States and
one Canadian line to control the traffic
between New York and Chicago. This
he says is conspiracy in restraint Of
trade and commerce and a violation Of
the act of 1890. The agreement to divide
earnings he says, is contrary to the pro-
visions of the interstate law. He writes
the President:
This trust and pooling agreement can
be annihilated IA provided by explicit
existing laws of the .ntcd States by
injunction from the coults ~ by order
81 interstate commerce commission or 81
by indictment of individuals signing the
same. 1t can also easily be stopped by
a vigorous appeal from you to j. Pierre
pont Morgan, whose power over nine
governors and over nine trunk lines is
absolute through the bond syndicate"

The Spirit of The Home Coming

There are many people who regard
Thank sgiving day as meaningless day,
and its celebration once year waste
of time and a mockery. 1t might have
been, they go on to say, day OF reality
to those who in early colonial times had
hostile tribes, Indictment weather. and
threatened starvation to fight, and whose
natures were wrought upon 10 all their
depths of fear and gratitude. But for us
in these days of no national crises, ia
these days of money getting and ma
terialsm, Thanksgiving day means
only day in which, oftener than not,
observauces are bore.
Yet for all that, and in spite of what
the croakers SAY, year after year IN every
home In town and country some glad
preparation for it is made. Feasts are
prepared. Welcome stands ready. 10
the returning Wandercr arms are ont
stretched To the homeless wayfarer the
hand il extended. Cost of labor aud
pain ot preparation are forgotten In the
Joy Of reunion. All the year that has
gaLe las been with many but as VISIT
looking toward il. For them all the
wear 10 follow shines as hew pathway
leading to the same bright end.
No New -Englander, close pressed AS
he may be, sttys willingly away from
the family gathering on that day. Rich
and poor alike are stirred by one com
mon impulse to 20 home. one man
may want To feel once more the comfort
of an old familiar chair that no change
of fashion has moved from lis long-Ie
customed place. Another wants the
sense of pcacefulness that belongs to a
certain sunny window with geraniums
in it when all the world without Is quiet
aud stiffness reigns within. some want
the nursery, with its tattered books, and
some the associations OF old sounds, as
the clicking of the gate or the hurrying
footsteps up the stair. Some want the
friends of childhood; and back of all,
and through all, aud over all, each and
every one wants the finding again OF
the mother, the face aud the voice and
the touch Of her--of her whose love has
never faltered. whose sympathy has
never failed, who welcomes them with
out reproach, who rejoices i'll them with
out envy, who is proud of their success
without measuring their failures, who
has kept her ideal of them undimmed,
and yet who will minister to them the
livelong day AS to one saved from an
angry TEMPEST, her arms their support,
her warm heart Their resting place

Every body is talking about the great
free offer of DR.. Greene, the most sue
cessful specialist in curing nervous and
chronic diseases, and who discovered
that wonderful medicine, DR.. Greeue's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. He
makes II speciality of treating patients
through letter correspondence, and all
who accept his offer are astonshed at
the marvellous success of this method
His Office is at "a Temple Place, Bos-
ton, Mass, where he receives and care
fully examines every letter sent to him
by persons describing their cases aud
telling him their symptoms. After thor
oughly studying each case, he answers
the letter, explaining the cause Of each
symptom and telling sure way to get
we'll and strong. He makes the patients
understand exactly what ails them and
tells them all about their complaint, and
all this is entirely free of charge. They
save the expense Of trip to the city,
have no fee to pay, and have the benefit
OF the hest medical advice and consulta-
tion. Here Is an opportunity for you to
get well, reader, YOU can either accept
or ri ct it. Which will you do?

The Modern Literary King.

The successful writer Of the present,
once he has secured the eye Of the pub
lie, feels that he must keep himself and
his work before the eye of that public.
He must produce and go on producing,
whether Impulse or inspiration comes to
him or not. He must, he feels, produce
just so much work He is sincere and
conscientious in the hope that he will do
good work. But II 1t happens to be
otherwise, which is more than likely, he
feels that he has not been altogether to
blame. The work must be produced.
1t is not a case of can. 1t is simply and
purely one of must, He is in feyerish
race; he needs keep in the procession
and as near the head of it as he can.
He is driven by a force he neither IN
derstands nor stops to analyze. He
must exc out his living by the pen, and
there lies the root of the evil. Not only
does his present belong to another, but
his future is mortgaged. He contracts
to write books for delivery within the
next two, three or five years, quite I'M
mindful of the question whether there
will be book in him to write, or a
story for him TO tell, or not. He is
simply under contraeta-his time, his
brain, his mind is mortgaged. For each
novel he is offered larger sum than he
received for his last, and proud is that
author who, when a publisher comes TO
him in these days, can say My dear
fellow, can't undertake another scrap
of work. Everything do for the next
five years is sold. Ny 1897 novel
goes to So.and-So, my 1898 stories are
sold to IS Magazine, while all do
in 1000 have contracted tn give In fhp
$. You see how am fixed And
if you ask him what his 1897 novel will
consist of, he has no more idea of its
llot or con ext than has his valet or his
cook. Nor is this IL any sense an exag-
gerated picture of the condition of the
modern American author. With one or
two rare exceptions-so rare that they
can be counted upon the fingers of a
single hand, with fingers to spare-the
successful authors of the day are under
the thralldom of the modern literary
king-the almighty dolar.-E. ". BOX,

Thomas Carlyle, in one of his strong
est essays, says that the unconscious is
alone complete, and no one in attendance
upon the school exhibitions at this time
is without opportunities of observing
the lack of uneonsciousness in child life.
The beauty, the freshness and the joy of
it are so captivating that people will go
"A great way to see it, and yet it is a
quality that ought not to be rare. 1t is
rare to find bright child who has not
been made conscious of his gifts by par
ents and teachers, and who has not
learned to place false estimate upon
himself in comparison with others. The
world is full of people who were spoiled
when they were children by the foolish
ness of their parents aud teachers.

A sight for an epicure or dyspeptic is
found in the heaps of golden corn that

hominy and milk, fairly make one

Among the sizable ears of corn raised
in this vicinity are some by Josiah Ma

Blame the Bicycle and Trolley

Lake shipments out of Chicago, last
week dropped to the lowest point in
many years. Some marine men believe
that the small shipment of grain 10 the

large degree to the bicycle and the dis
placement of horses ON street car lines
by electricity They are of the opinion
that these two factors have done far
more to deprive lake vessels of grain
cargoes than ali the competition of the
railways since the outbreak OF hostili-
ties between the eastern lines.
