in our Legislature as with other legis-
lative bodies, rather than the merits of
the bill when put on its passage. This

new town charter which passed the
Legislature week or two ago, though
a remOnstrance was sent against
changing the charter signed by between
one and two hundred people represent
ing some $500, 900 of property. 1t was
wondered at, that Senators Pierce and
Moore should regard this remon-
STRANGE as they did, but was under
stood when learned the facts in the
case were disregarded under the stip-
ulatiOn eff you will vote for my bill

THE MINISTER'S WIFE

She's little and modest and purity As fresh as a rose, and as sweet; Her children don't evtar look dirty, Her kitchen ain't noWay but neat; She's the kind of a woman to cherish, A help to feller through life; Yet every old hen in the parish Is down on the minister's wife. Twas Mrs. 'Lge Hawkins begun it; She alters hez had the idee That the church was built so's she
 could run it,
 Cause Hawkins is deacon, yo see. She thought that the hull cOngrega-
 tion
 Jest marched to the tune of her fife, But she found twas a wrong calker-
 lation
 Applied to the minister's wife. Then Mrs. Jedge Jenks got excited, She thinks she's the hull upper

 To meetin', she quit in disgust NYou may have all the paupers you

 Sez she, jest as sharp as knife, <.But if they go to church, refuse to- ''Gopdbyp' sez the ministers wife. And then Mrs. Jackson got stuffy, At her not comin' sooner to call, And old Miss MacGregor is huffy Cause she went up to Jackson's at
 all
 Each one of the crowd hates the
 other,
 The church has been full of their
 strife; But now they're all hatin' another, And that ones the minister's wife. But still, all the cackle unheeding, She gees in her ladylike way, A-givin' the poor what they're needin' <, And helpini the church every day. Our numbers each Sunday is swellin' And real, true religion is rife, And sometimes I feel like a-yell1n' ''Three cheers for the min ster' 6

 A 100- year old man was among the hundreds of thousands of voters last week Tuesday This oldest of old voters appeared in the person of Rev. Emanuel Schwab. He is 1O1 years old. He is stanch republican and takes the greatest pnidiai in saying that he never scratched a tticket This year, however, he voted for Mr Low, because, as he says, "Croker and Platt are alihaA" Age has not impaired his intellect. Another old voter was ex- Mayor Tiemann. He is 93 years of age.

The treasury officials now acknowledge
that the quarters in the new post office
buildir for the Use of the city post office
cannot be completed by the end of the
fiscal year. thus verifying The Stars fore
cast made months ago. They blame Con-
gress for the delay. asserting that 1t Is
due to the proposed consolidation, which,
they say. makes certain changes neces-
sary. 1t is generally accepted that If or
dinary forehandedness and diligence had
been shown in the management of this
construction 1t would have been wholly
completed before Congress actually order
ed or even suggested the consolidation
There seems to be no way to avoid the
indictment Of sheer mismanagement, but
for which these five years and a quarter
that have been used would now be rep
resented by the complete use of the build
ing. 1t is important to note that the
Crowdirg-o process seems to have be-
gun already. The mezzanine story 1t is
announced, will probably be turned over
to the department, although originally de-
signed for the city Office. and the lat
ter will be confined to the basement story.
This leaves precious little margin for

Its friends appear here. and are not only
demanding a tariff schedule which shall
enormously enrich the Trust. but are un-

ure the foreign policy of the government!
1t Is the Sugar Trust that desires the abro-
CATION of the Hawaiian treaty. and 1t IS
the Sugar Trust that now throws its weight
into the scale against Cuba.
1t Is time for the republican party to put
these insolent attempts down. 1t should do
so promptly. and with a vigor that will
carry conviction with 1t. The widest
charges Of the populists on the stump last
year against the Trusts never compre-
hended anything as bold or as dangerous
as the things this Sugar Trust is now try
ing to push along. The populists warned
the country only against commercial conf
binatfons operating to control business
markets and manipulate prices. But here
is Trust which, not content with operat-
ing at home. reaches out for other terrific
ry 10 conquer, and tries to direct what the
foreign as well as the domestic policy of
the government in affairs in which 1t Is
interested shall be. 1t opposes the annexa-
ton of Hawaii. and the freedom of Cuba.

ply because II sees IN Sucn cnange OF the
map menace to the grasp it has estab-
lished on the sugar market of the United
States.
Congress cannot afford to shut its eyes to
these things. nor can the administration.
The republican party is not the champion
Of Trusts of any kind. Mr.. McKInley's
election to the presidency carried with 1t
no assurance of bounty to- such organiza-
tions. and when he placed at the head of
his cabinet the author Of the Antitrust
law he bespoke distinctly on that score the
confidence Of the country
