The preliminary lines of Mrs. Lud-

that the small conspirator began TO

sion for a go-between. RinCbrand's

ing in the way of encouragement. Since
his side OF the ease was beyond the need
of prompting. Mrs. Ludlow directed her
efforts toward trying to ascertain his
staining with IIcstcr-a praiseworthy
endeavor which the young girl APP
peared to take a pcryersc delightin frus-
trating. At one time she would praise
him with such outspoken frankness
that its very mrcservc was a most en-
couraging symptom; Mt another she
would criticise him in a manner that
was equally disheOrtcning. She had
ridden down to spend the day with Mrs.
Ludlow on the morning following Ring
brands introspective journey down the
mountain; and on that occasion she
would allow no word of communication
to pass unchallenged.
'Oh. don't deny that he's pleasant
companion" she said, in answer TO one
of Mrs. Ludlow's warm eulogiums.
HE could he that and much more with
out being n genius"
But don't you think his literary
work is good?" asked her hostess, with
q shade of depreciation in her voice.
II don't like it much; he's too alb
struse and analytical. / never did like
an author who insists upon taking his
characters to pieces as il they were

what an idea! I'm sure Hugh never
thought of doing such n thing"
''He may not think OF il, but he does
il just the same. Take that last story
in the Miscellany; he covers two whole
pages trying to tell why Mary doesn't
love Horace, when it's perfectly clear
that she does love him; and he does it
just at the time when you're positively
dying to find out what has become of
the hero. It's enough TO make one skip
everything but his conversation"
what a merciless critic you are,

I'm not a critic at all, but / know
what pleases me in story; and that's
one of the things that doesn't" She
went to the piano and ran through n
brilliant fantasia while Mrs IudIou,
tried in vain to think of something else
to urge in behalf of the much-abused
author.
''Then there's another thing i don't
like about his stories" resumed Hester,
whirling around on the piano-stool.
THAT'S the way he deliberately takes
of the top of a characters head so that
you can see what the person is think
ing about. It's perfectly ridiculous;
and told him so the other evening""

was artificial or accidental, he deter

Turning to the left, the exploration
came shortly TO an end against wall
of broken rock and detritus which
completely filed the crevice; re-
tracing his steps, he pushed forward
in the opposite direction, meeting
distance. The cleft was of irreg-
ular width, but its walls were perpen-
dicular and smooth, rising above his
head until their outlines were lost in
the gloom. At several points they APP

had some difficulty in squeezing

through a hole in the roof. lie stood
gazing upward at the small aperture

used as an entrance without the help

or prevent the free use of human faculties
and the full development of human char
acter. Through them the farmer, the
artisan and the small trader is in danger
of dislodgment from the proud position
of being his own master, watchful of all
that touches his country's prosperity, in
which he has an individual lot, and, inter-
ested in all that affects the advantage of
business of which he is factor, to be
relegated to the level of mere appurten-
ance to great machine, with little free
will, with no duty but that of passive
obedience, and with little hope or oppor.
tunity of rising in the scale Of responsible
and helpful citizenship"
He then goes on to explain the failure
of the federal government to accomplish
practical results in the way of suppress
sion, not withstanding the enaction by
congress of various laws with that end in
view:
Though congress has attempted to
deal with this matter by legislation, the
laws passed for that purpose thus far
have proved ineffective, not because of
any lack of disposition or attempt to
enforce them, but simply because the laws
themselves as interpreted by the courts
do not reach the difficulty. If the in
sufficiencies of existing laws can be
remedied by further legislation, it should
be done. The fact must be recognized,
however, that all federal legislation on
this subj ect may fall short of its purpose
because of inherent obstacles, and also
because of the complex character of our
governmental system, which, while max
ing the federal authority supreme within
its sphere, has carefully limited that
sphere by metes and bounds which can
not be transgressed. The decision of our
highest court on this precise question
renders it quite doubtful whether the
evils of trusts and monopolies can be
adequately treated through federal &C.
ton, unless they seek directly and pur-
posely TO include in their objects trans.
portation or intercourse between states
or between the United States and foreign
countries.
ut does not follow, however, that Vas
is the limit of the remedy that may be
applied. Even though it may be found
that federal authority is not broad
enough to fully reach the case, there can
be no doubt of the power of the several
states to act effectively in the premises,
and there should be no reason to doubt
their willingness to judiciously exercise
such power"
Of course this will not stop the noisy
and insensate railing in which newspapers
like the New York World have INDUCED
themselves throughout Mr.. C]eveland's
term, but it will commend itself to all re-
spectacle people who wish to know the
simple facts of the case and to understand
the attitude of the government.-Wash-
ington Post.

AS TO THE TRUSTS.

Another vigorous and remarkable utter
ance of Mr.. Cleveland's is to be found in
the paragraph devoted to the considera-
tion of trusts, and "other huge aggrega-
tions of capital" having for their object
the monopoly of some particular branch
of trade, industry or commerce. That the
president does not regard these institu-
tions with favor must be quite evident to
those who intelligently read what he says
about them:
"When these are defended it is usually
on the ground that though they increase
profits they also reduce prices and thus
may benefit the public. It must be re-
mem 5ered, however, that a reduction of
prices to the people Is not one of the real
objects of these organizations, nor is
their tendency necessarily in that direc-
ton. If it occurs in particular case, it
is only because it accords with the pur-
poses or interests of those managing the
scheme.
