A TRUST METHOD.

Some Of the Baltimore folks wish now
they hadn't voted as they did. There is
q big sugar refinery in Baltimore which
has been closed for quite a while. 1t
was given out before the election that If
Mckinley won the refinery would be
started up in full blast. 1t now turns out
that the Sugar Trust, which owns con-
trolling interest in the refinery, deliberate
" "froze out" the local representatives
who wanted to open the work and begin
operations. The Sugar Trust, which owns
the majority of the stock, decided that the
refinery should be kept closed. We are
told that much ill-feeIing was engendered,
and that the Baltimoreans who insisted
on going to work were frozen out when
the time TO elect directors arrived. 1t was
not enough for the head of the trust to
rofuge tie request OF the Baltimore direc-
tols. They must be punished for making
public their desire. Whatever the Trust
juggernaut brushes it destroys.
This is the kind of prosperity the people
voted for. They are apt to get as much
OF it az they can stand.

HANNA's BRUTAL BOAST.

On another page will be found somSTe
| count Of the latest feast which Was set
before Mark Hanna jSGleveland. In
his reply to the toast by his co-creditor
of McKiE1ey, Myron t. Herrick, this
new~6roduct of American life speaks OF
his conduct of the recent campaign as the
only spotless one in the whole history OF
| Republican campaigns, Lincoln's lneiuo-
| cd. Doubtless there will be many hon
orable Republicans who will read this
| brutal lie with i'll concealed scorn. The
picture too that he gives of himself going
around for days at time with Mchin-
ley's honor in his wallet, bringing it back
periodically for Mckinney lnspec-
| ton reminds one of the touching scene
that Madame Frochard effected when
she paraded herself and helpless Pierre
in the public view. Any one with half
wisdom-tooth can see every vulture
glance of Hanna, as he looks upon Nc
Kinley in private, sharpened with the
numerals that are buried there Il. 0. u.
$4,000 VIM Mckinley" and one can
see Mckinley covering before that
glance with eyes down. Then there Is
another thing to be noted in connection
with these recent unnatural talking
spells of Hanna. He says, seq he, as how
it was that Mckinley says to me, Mark
keep my honor SAFE" and as how it was
that he says, SEE he, to Mckinley, Il
have loved you Mckinley for two long
years ever since bought you with that
Ills" and 1 will bring your honor back
put up in fancy packages" Now all
these quotations. from Mckinley that
Hanna is making are only a lot of post
prandial lies, and Mckinley dares not
deny them. Hanna is not losing a mo-
ment. He knows he owns Mckinley:
he is trying by the feast method to get
the shock of this knowledge off the coun-
try, so that the pressure of his hand on
the Presidential button will lose some
of its odiousness. But his finger will be
watched, and this country will be RECALLED
with another kind of a feast, when Han
ma shall gradually have become bold
enough.-Having nominated an Ameri-
can weeks before the convention of Am
erican people assembled, and elected him
by every method known to money and
corruption, this monster of the poor will
be President in fact of this country. As
to Mckinley, he is pitiable in weakness:
few thinking men can have respect for
him as a courageous American. On the
crust OF Hanna's palm is written $11S,-
600, and for four years he will pass it
over McKinley's brow and the weakling
will be but famous study in hypnotism
nothing more, and as such he will pass
into history

be otherwise with Republicans and Pop

Makes a total crop of the

United States 1900. SOP, 600
The great mass of the letters received
indicate that the crop this year is from
three to FIVE weeks earlier than usual,
that it has been marketed with great ra-
pidity, on account of stringent money and
urgent demands of merchants to make
collection previous to the election, and
that picking at this date is nearer com
pletion than ever before known.
Where any top crop was reported it had
been seriously injured, if not destroyed
by frost, and from a large area of country
no top crop was reported at all.

An important official dispatch bearing
on Cuban affairs has been sent TO Madrid
from the State Department. 1t was sign
ed Ivy Secretary Olney and addressed TO
Minister Taylor. In it was laid down the
attitude OF the administration in the Gu
ban question. The dispatch is a long one.
Its four principal points are: /. The Pres
ident proposes that Spain accept media
ton on the part of the United States
looking to q settlement of existing differ
cnces between the Spanish Government
and the Cubans. . 1t refers TO the cor
respondence between the State Depart
ment and the Madrid authorities in 1870,
in which Spain promised to inaugurate
governmental reforms in Cuba. which
promise, it is said, has not been fulfilled.
3. 1t says the present rebellion in Cuba
is more serious and widespread than any
which have arisen in recent years, and
that the insurgents control practically all
Of Cuba except Havana and the near
neighborhood. 4. 1t assures Spain Of the
kindliest motives on the part of the United
States in seeking TO bring about pacific
condition Of affairs in Cuba, and urges
that the good Offices of this country be
accepted in the spirit proffered.
