WILL. 1T BE
ANOTHER
DISNPPOINT.
MENT.

Large Investments of capital and the grasp
Inc nat ure of business men have established
the immutable law of the survival Of the
fittest throughout the manufacturing world,
and even We're no effort made to abolish
trusts it is only a question Of time when
the smaller mills and factories will be
closed 10y their more wealthy competitors
But the country canLot afford TO wait
for that ner cd Ia arrive. There are over
one hundred trusts Eow n successful opera
tion in violation of the law. and an at
tempt should he made 10 break them up
without further delay. The Attorney Gen
eral. in his report 10 Congress, says there
are no funds o Prosecute an inquiry CON
corning them. He also makes pertinent
enatle himto secure the necessary evidence.
VIII Congress act on his suggestions and
rerder the antitrust law operative, or Will
il devote the coming session to Politics and
partisan wraneIing?
The recent campaign should serve as a
warning against further waste Of tine in
useless Congressional debate. Shorn Of IFS
financial enumeration the silver upris-
ing was not a genuine demand for
change OF our monetary standard. Since
the passage Of the Mckinley tariff law and
tie storming Of the Capitol by the agents
of manufacturers there has been growing
discomfort among the masses against the
eucroachment of combined wealth. The
political avalanche of 1892 was q Popular
protest against this movement. and had
this Democratic administration redeemed
its party pledges the late silv cr craze would
never have been known. But the Fifty-third
Congress and President Cleveland ard his
officials frittcred away their opportuni-
| ties. ana the public courted the silver phan-
tom as a means OF relief Just as il had
cspnused the cause Of tariff reform four
! years ago.
Should Mckinley and his party prove
another disappointment there is likely to
/ be something worse than an election pro-
| test against the further use Of our Con
gressional and Executive branches of gov
ernment for partisan purposes. But if
| they give us a business administration IF
| public affairs, free from partisan and
monopolistic Influences, there is no reason
why the Republican party should not re-
main in power for an indefinite period.

DAMAGE TO LIVE STOCK.
Trempealeau, Wis. Dec. 2.-Over one
million feet oe logs are fast in the ice
gorge between here and La Crosse. They
came out OF the chippewa and Eau Claire
rivers during the recent floods. The Mis-
sissippi river at this point has risen seven
fee. within theaast four hours.
Durand, WiF, Dec. 2.-The situation on
The boGtonis reIiains unchanged The ter
rible flood extends over miles in the low
country and the damage to live stock and
nay ana grain aggregate thousands OF
dollars. One or two men refused rescue
them.
At this place the water is in every
street and many Easements and people ale
moving. The railway track is damaged
and washed out for several miles between
here and Wabasha
Should the Jam above Eau Claire break
there is no telling the danger and damage
that will ensue to Durand and vicinity. 1t
is Impossible for trains to move more than
six miles below here. Stages west TO
Arkansas and Eaugalle are abandoned
and the wires to these points are down.
Business Is practically at a standstill.
EAU CLAIRE APPARENTLY SAFE.
Chicago, Dec. 2.-Passengers who came
to Chicago today from Chippewa Valley
stations assured anxious inquirers that
though there was still the gravest danger
OF Chippewa Falls being destroyed by the
flood, there was no longer any reasonable
fear for Eau Claire.
The flood sufferers along the Chippewa
River are praying for warmer weather as
much as for a subsiding of the waters.
The thermometer at the Wisconsin Cen
tral station at Chippewa Falls at midnight
asst night registered 10 degrees below
zero. rise in the temperature would
alleviate the sufferings OF the homeless
and terror-stricken people as well as melt
the ice gorge and allow the river to sub
side to Its ordinary channel in the terri
tory between he Falls and Irvine Station.
The Northwestern, st. Paul and Wiscon-
SIN Central railways have resumed the
running or trains TO Chippewa and the post
office has been moved to the business por-
ton of the town, seven blocks away, on
The hll. When the limited on the Wiscon-
snCentral road from st. Paul arrived here
this morning half an hour late on account
OF time lost in passing Eau Claire and
Chippewa, there were many people at the
depot t. learn Of the conditions prevailing
'utne stricken region from the trainmen nd
passengers.
Tne tram was at Chippewa at p. m.
andthe water wasthen Oever the pla atform of

DOLLAR
WHEAT
HAS COME.


Furthermore, il is estimated that 30 ucr
cent of the crop is still in the hands of
farmers, and they VIII get the full benefit
OF the advance.
The reason for this rise in wheat Is well
Known 1t has nothing to do with the
price OF silver, In spite of the assertions OF
the howlers during the late Presidential
campaign. For several years past, with
out reference To the condition OF the silver
market, as every wcll-inforlned man knows,
and showed that he knew at the late cleo
tion. wheat has been low because Russia.
India and the Argentine Republic have
been pouring in enormous supplies Atthe
same time, the business depression in this
country has cut down the home consumption
about one-third. the ordinary use of
wheat In the United States is about six
bushels per head; for the past year it has
been, as statistics show, only about four
bushels. This cuts down the demand about
140.O00,0 600 bushels.
But now has come large shortage in
the Indian wheat crop and other foreign

large as usual. with prosperity returning
as a result OF the maintenance of national
credit and proof Of the good sense OF the
people there is n great increase in the
home consumption. Under the ail-con-
trolling law of supply and demand wheat
has advanced; silver has gone down.

WILL THE
CONTRACT BE
EXECUTED.

Ot tJuiGctbA ut-
nying an injunction restraining the exccti-
ton uf said contract. and II Is reported
Appeals has requested that the execution
OF the contract Toe withheld until the pc
tition Of the United States Company can he
acted upon. This request is perfectly
proper and the Commissioners cannot iE-
more IL without grossly insulting the dignity
OF the court.
The questions should really be settled py
Congress. Heretofore it has been held
that the Commissioners are not invested
with power to grant privileges which con-
flict with special acts of Congress- The
United States Electric Light Company de-
rived its existence from Congress, and It's
wires occupy our streets and avenues by
authority ofthat body. onthe contrary, the
Potomac Electric Power Company Is
nondescript organization, which was in
corporated in virginia, and thus far has
been doing business in the District by
special favor. 1t now seeks to encroach
upon the domain OF the United states Com-
pany contrary to law and by order OF the
Commissioners.
Bccause the Potomac Company purchased
the lexington electric light plant OF
ConIInis sioner Truesdell it has been given
foothold in the city, and although its
application for charter was denied by the
last Congress the Commissioners saw fit
to accept its proposition for public light
ing. The contract Is now ready for tile
signatures OF the parties It may be already
signed, and il SO, il Will be fragrant
violation of official etiquette.

MODERN BODY ARMoR.
Quite = Lot OF II Exists and Is Worn L
Spite of the Time.

Quite Lot of II Exists and Is Worn In
Spite of the Time.
The experiments with bullet proof
coats aud material which have been
conducted here and abroad have called
attention TO the fact that mail protec-
ton did not entirely pass away with
the shelving of the shield and cuirass.
Many English officers still wear par
tial arnor when serving on foreign sta
tions.
The commonest and most usual type
of these projections consists Of fine but
beautifully tempered single chains, in
closed in soft leather, which run along
the shoulders, down the outer side Of
the arms, and over certain parts Of the
body. These can either be sewed into
particular tunic, or they can be adjusted
separately and put on like harness.
Hundreds upon hundreds of these sets
are sold. The most valuable of all
chains in connection with accouterments
are those which guard the head, and in
cases where the regulation cap or he'll
met is not sufficiently protected in this
way specially made chains are sewed
inside the same and covered by the lin
ing.
Only those who have been in actual
conflict know how valuable all the
chains mentioned are in minimizing the
effects of sword cuts. As regards pro-
lection both from sword and bullet the
general belief nowadays seems to be in
thoroughly tanned leather, and great
quantities are made for officers, the IA
vorite pattern-said to be the invention
of the late Sir Richard Burton-being
that which forms not too prominent
ridge down the center of the chest.
Many stories are told by officers of bull
lets which have been averted in some de-
gree by these leather tunics, some of
which are lined with woven steel wire.
OF course none of these things are sup
posed to be an absolute protection, but
only a sort of palliative.
A London gunsmith, who sells great
many chain body protectors, which fit
almost like an ordinary vest and are
&y expensive, sells a large number of
them 10 army men, and he not long ago
sent a gross, Us many as he could get
made in the time, to Japan. where they
were quickly sold. He has made for in,
dividual officers who have themselves
drawn the design variety of different
patterns of armOr. Fine flexible chains
and leather have entered into nearly all
of them. Boston Post.
