The father. very anxious about her

LOGS BEING RATED.
Log Driving Co. Mas rs Men at Work
Down River.

From all the reports of the jam al
Swan island. or rather what was a
jam, on the east channel it appears
that the lumbermen who had logs car
ried away got them all back, as the
crews now at work are meeting with
great success. In an interview with
half dozen lumbermen from that
section. the following facts about the
case. We're learned: The channel on
the east side of Swan island is entirely
clear. with the exception of some places
where the ice was located on the sides
leaving wide channel in the middle
The west channel is partly broken out
but there still remains enough to pro-
at the foot being still solid with an
other one about half way down 1t is
expected that these will be broken by
the end of the week

and down along the east shore below
Swan island, as far as the Chops, get
ting the logs RATED together. OF the
$4,000 logs which went down in the
freshet from the Brown island boom,
it is estimated that 5000 are at Rich
mond, and are now being collected into
RATS; 5000 to 5000 passed down through
the east channel. and are scattered all
the way down: while 5000 are scattered
along between Brown island and Rich
mond
The men work with the aid of boats.
the latter being in demand from far
and near 1t has not yet been decided
whether it will be best to have the logs
which are being gathered along the
shores fioated down to Bath, or
brought back to Richmond They will
doubtless be handled to suit the owners
as far as possible Some will probably
be brought up as far as Gardiner. when
the tug boats get moving.
There are two great jams of logs al
the foot of the west channel, where the
ice is still firm. Some say that these
log jams will break up of their own &C
cord, as soon as the ice leaves them.
While others say that it will be neces-
sary to break them apart by means
Of cant dogs. the water being so shall
low that the logs have grounded and
stuck fast. This pack of logs was the
advance front of the mess which was
carried down the west channel.
Whatever comes, ii is thought that
all the logs will be corralled The ex-
pense will eventually fall on the own
ers according to the quantity of logs

by the log driving company.

THE UNLAWFULNE.S.S OF
YH{STV

The opinion of the Supreme Court rendered by Justice Russell in granting an injunction against the operations of the National Druggists Association reinforces a long line of already existing decis- ions against monopolistic restraint of trade.
 The Court points out that while if is entirely proper and lawful for che wholesale druggists in the com bination to form an association for mutual benefit, they become an un- lawful conspiracy in restraint of trade as soon IS they begin using their combination to coerce their customers.
 ''It is in restraint of trade and unlawful, the Court says, "for manufacturers 10 become a party to combinations which shall pre- vent customers from obtaining goods of other manufacturers be- cause such customers violate agree ments in respect to cutting prices.
 This is good law. It is good everywhere in the United States. No court will challenge it's sound ness. Why then is it not law for the Attorney-General at Albany? Why is it's soundness doubted in the office of the Attorney-General at Washington? Why is it not publicly enforced through it's pen- alties as well as through injunc- tions and private suits? Why are not the lawbreakers sent to jail?- N. Y. World.

No good comes of "monkeying'
 with the Populists. Itis true they are supporting Bryan in many oi the Western States, but in the South, as rule, they are making alliances with their old asso $. the Republicans. They are as un- stable as water, and are ready for any deal that promises to defeat Democracy. Tom Watson is bent on being Vice President with Bryan, or be will wreck Bryan. The cause is nothing to him personal aggran- dizement everything. In Texas the indications are that there will be a tripartite alliance of Republicans, Populists and gold standard Demo crats. Now, there is fine lot Of strange bed-fellows. It seems to be an alliance without regard to prin- ciple or party policy-the ruling and governing idea being to defeat the other side. The same combina- tion exists in North Carolina, Ala bama and other States. Tn this State a good many Populists are supporting Bryan, but most of them are still demanding that Sewall be retired from the ticket. If the Pop ulists at the St. Louis convention had been entirely sincere in their advocacy of Bryan, they would have taken the entire ticket. In the light of recent events, 1t seems clear that nothing was to be gained by at fempting an alliance with them. Itl 2d beeA far better to leave them !
