PROSPERITY FOR TRUSTS.
What Hannaism Has Done For the Pro-
tected Monopolists.

What Hannaism Has Done For the Pro-
tected Monopolists.
No more interesting, illuminating
ana suggestive commentary upon cur
rent commercial conditions is printed
anywhere than that which an eminent
journalist, writing over the pseudonym
of Matthew Marshall" contributes to
the Sun. 1t is true that the writer's
attitude is that Of an extreme conser-
vative, a defender of vested interests
against all assaults. When this fact is
kept in mind, regular perusal Of his ar
ticles is sure to entertain and perhaps
to instruct the reader.
Last Monday Marshall discussed the
position of the so-called Industrial
stocks in the market. With commend
able franlkness he chronicled the fact
that the stocks of such monopolistic
corporations as the Standard Oil
trust, the American Sugar Refining
company and the Consolidated Gas
company have shown the most rapid
advances and hold the strongest posi-
ton in the market. He notes that
Standard Oil stock launched at 80 is
now about 325, despite heavy increase
in capitalization, and that sugar GER
tificates, which once under hostile de-
cisions by the courts of this state and
fear Of receiverships for some Of the
company's most valuable refineries
fell nearly to So" are now in
the neighborhood of 157. AS for the
rise in gas stocks, the writer describes
It as "both unexpected and large"-ad-
jectives which an increase from 70 or
less in 1887 to nearly 22O this year in
the price Of New York Consolidated
Gas certainly justifies.
Curiously enough, so astute writer
as Marshall wholly fails to note the
reasons for the remarkable prosperity
of these corporations. In the cases OF
the first two he ascribes it wholly to
the superior talent with which their
affairs have been conducted" Superior
talent is perhaps an over-euphemistic
phrase to apply to the methods OF Mr.
John D. Rockefeller and Mr.. H. o.
Havemeyer. In the records of long
series Of legislative Investigations and
court proceedings the quality OF supe-
rior unscrupulousness seems to have
been pretty clearly established in their
procedure. The skill with which leg
islatures and railway boards have been
corrupted for the good of Standard Oil
and the astuteness with which an or
binary somnolent United States senate
has been stirred into amazing activity
in behalf of sugar probably implies
talent, but it suggests the exertion OF
less admirable mental qualities.-New
York Journal.

Mr.. ]. H. Dazey. Of Deshler, Ohio,
appears to have regular Coxey eye
for business. He has forced himself to
the front in the northwestern part OF
the state as leader of the Populists,
only to betray them. But the publica-
ton of the following document has
melted away the last vestige OF fnf1u-
ence that Mr.. Dazey ever possessed:
"Deshler. Ohio, August 81, 1897.
"I hereby agree to furnish my entire
time and use my best efforts and inf1u-
ence for the Republican party during
the coming campaign. either directly
or indirectly, believing that can con-
troll large Populist vote for the Re-
publican party, said party agreeing to
pay all expenses, and to piy me as fol-
lows for my services: 5000 about the
10th of September and 5000 about the
25th of September, 1897. I further
agree not to divulge any agreement
which I may make.

Why do some Republican papers get
hundreds of dollars from Hanna's bar'l
and others get none? If one paper
gets a thousand, why should not every
editor of a Republican paper have as
much? Why this discrimination? The
good book says: "The OK should not
be muzzled while tra-1pling out the
grain"

Waldo County People at Augusta.

Virgil G. Eaton, a former E. NJ. G. S. stu
dent and resident OF Prospect, and later on
the staff of the Boston Globe, is the special
correspondent of the Bangor Daily News at
the State capitol. We quote what he has to
say of two Waldo county men:
The State House is thickly spattered with
old office holders who want nothing more
within the gift of the State. One of these
is Col. Fred Atwood of Winterport, who
came in the early sixties to get Winterport
made into a town, and who has been here at
every session since. For time he was rep
resentative. Then he took a spell as SEN
ator. When Bodwell came i'll as gov
ernor in 1887 the gentlemen from Win
terport became a colonel on his staff,
looking very smart in new uniform.
After that he tried his hand as member of
the executive council. Finally he was
named a Mckinley and Hobart elector
for the third congressional district, and Just
now he is in Augusta for the purpose of
casting his vote for the next president and
vice president of the United States. People
who know Col. Atwood will say that he has
been asked to run for Congress several
times during the past dozen years. AS he is
close friend of Seth l.. Milliken he cannot
think of it If Milliken stays in office until
Atwood puts him out, he has got more than
100 terms to serve.
Another Waldo county man who is getting
a lot of deserved attention is Senator Bill
lings of Freedom. DR.. Billings entered the
Maine Senate 80 years ago this winter. He
was just up from serious fit of sickness,
and few thought he would survive for long.
To-day he is a portly, vigorous man OF TO-
just little gray to be sure, but looking not
a bit over 60 years. He prizes highly the
great bouquet which his friends placed on
his desk at the opening of the session, and
says he wishes he could talk his feelings on
the subject. Such phrases as 'deeply touch
expressions do not begin to convey his senti-
ments. DR.. Billings was surgeon OF the Old
18th Maine in the war and came out with an
excellent record. He is a prominent Il. A.
r. man, and his opinions carry much weight
among the people who have known him so
long and honored him so often.

The Social Season.

Invitations have been received here for

The annual bail of Washington Hose Co.
at the Belfast Opera Hose this, Thursday
evening will be one Of the principal social
events of the season. The arrangements
are progressing favorably and, with good
weather a most successful and enjoyable
event may be depended on.

Wedding Bells.

PATTERsHALL-MAsoN. A very pleasant
home wedding occurred at the residence of
Mr.. Howard F. Mason Tuesday evening, the
18th inst, when his daughter Blanche K. was
united in marriage to Mr. Ralph W. Patter-
shall in the presence of few relatives and
friends, Rev. John F. Titon officiating.
After the ceremony refreshments We're serv-
ed and very pleasant social hour was pas
sed, the happy couple receiving many con-
gratulations and kindly wishes for pleasant
voyage through life. A large number OF
beautiful and useful presents bore testimony
to the popularity Of the young couple.

He has Changed his Mind.

The woolen manufacturers were well rep
resented before the ways and means com
mittee at Washington Thursday. Among
them was Galen c. Moses of Bath who said
that all manufacturers wanted was a tariff
of such moderate nature that it would not
be upset in few years. The change from
the Mckinley to the Wilson bill had cost
his company 100000. He said he had been
Democrat all his life and was one of the
original free wool men, but he had changed
his mind regarding wool, having become
convinced that conditions here did not war
rant the admission of this product free of
duty. Bath Enterprise.

Joseph M. Frohock and daughter, Miss
Lille A. Frohock of Northport, returned
Tuesday from very pleasant visit to rela-
tives in Boston, and remained over here one
day with Rockland friends before going
home. Mr.. Frohock is "a years OF age, en-
joys perfect health, and does not look day
over 30. He does not put on any frills about
it himself, but his flock of children and grand
children are decidedly proud of him. Rock

have the State take charge of the Portland
school for the deaf making it in reality, as
it is now in effect, a State institution. The
city now owns the school buildings but will
turn them over to the State which will care
for the school and appoint its governing
board
