SNOW HILL. NIGH. 25, 1899.

SINCE that distinguished
American editor Charles A.
Dana has taken his departure
tn "that borne whence no
traveller ere returns" the New
York SIN newspaper, founded
and so ably conducted by him,
seems like a ship without a
rudder. 1t is humping around
on reefs and rocks and the
editorial crew has evidently
gone daft from the nervous
strain to which they have been
subjected by the thought that
the old ship must sink. No
good will come to a newspaper,
which, under the guise of
serving the public, is trying to
deceive it, and the public can
not long respect a newspaper
which berates and villifies
prominent public men because
they differ with the editorial
policy of that paper, and choose
to follow the dictates Of their
conscience rather than cater
to a little free advertising of
their virtues. If the Sun starts
out on one side of a great public
question, everybody on the
other side is branded fool and
a traitor.

WAR AGAINST TRUSTS.

Senator Chandler, Of New
Hampshire. is one of the few
Republican leaders that can
read the signs of the times. He
believes that the greatest issue
next year will be the fight
against trusts" and declares
that "if the Republican party
does not align itself on the
side of the people and against
these combinations il will be in
danger of defeat"
Senator Chandler in right,
says the New York Jomnui. but il
is too late TO talk about an eff
in connection with the Repub-
lican party. IL would be as
reasonable to discuss the posi-
bility of opposition to the trusts
on the part of the directors of
the Standard Oil Company as
on the part of the organization
controlled by Hanna. Plat,
Quay, Hunting and Reed. The
Republican party is the abso-
lutte property of the trusts,
bought bound and delivered.
and il could not oppose them
if every man in it knew that
political ruin was the absolute
ly certain alternative.
Here is list of ninety trusts

FATAL FIRE NEW YORK.
The Windsor Hotel Burned At

The fashionable Windsor Ho.
tel. corner of Fifth Avenue and
Forty seventh street. New York
was destroyed by fire on Friday
afternoon last and at least six
teen persons were killed and
about thirty five were injured.
There are also some thirty per-
sons missing. The hotel was
full of guests, many of whom
were women, and the panic
that followed the alarm was
something terrible. The fire
started from the igniting of a
lace curtain at } O'Clock p. m =.
and i'm two hours the hotel was
i'm ruins. At the time the fire
occurred the streets were crowd
ed with people, usual for that
part of the city. but more so on
account of the st. Patrick $ day
paraders, to which fact is due
no doubt much of the loss of life
and injury. In the midst of the
confusion the alarm was slow
i'm being given and appreciated;
as soon as il was, the parade
disbanded and place made by
the police for the fire depart
ment who began heroic meas

from which guests and officials
raced i'm a mad rush for life.
and many leaped from the win
dows and were dashed to pieces.
The residence of Miss Helen
Gould, just opposite. was thrown
open and many of the injured
were carried there for treat
ment, whilst others were hastily
conveyed To the hospitals.
Among the fashionable guests
stopping at the hotel were Mrs.

Presidents brother, and her
two daughters, who all escaped

STOP LYNcHINC.

The way to stop lynchings is
for the Courts to acr speedily
when there is no room for doubt
as to who committed the crime.
as is the case with the colored
youth who murdered two ladies
in Prince Georges county this
week. The deed was cold
blooded and the murderer ad-
mitted he did the killing and
that his object was murder to
avenge some pretended wrong.
He is now in Jail awaiting the
April term of Court. Instead
of waiting, a special session of
Court should have been imme-
diately convened and the case
disposed of. The reason for
most lynchings is the determi-
nation upon the part of friends
of the murdered that the muir.
derer shall not escape his just
deserts through some legal
technicality All law abiding
people are opposed to the
lynching bee, and we believe if
the Courts acted more prompt
ly, these unfortunate occur
rences would soon cease. Let
the people know that the courts
will act speedily. as was the
case out in one of the Western
States several weeks ago when
a man admitted he murdered
another. The next day he was
tried before the proper Court
convened for the purpose and
before night was convicted and
hanged. OF course before JUS
tice is so speedily melted out
there should be no doubt as to
the culprits guilt.

forming every day.
There are only four States in
the Union whose wealth can
match that of the trusts in this
list. Any State aside from New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Illinois, could be bought out
right by these combinations of
private capital.
The ninety trusts in that list,
which is not complete, could
buy the ten States of Arkansas,
Mississippi, West Virginia. 5.
Dakota, North Dakota, South
Carolina. Florida. New Hamp-
shire. Vermont and Delawaie
combined.
These aggregations have been
almost entirely the growth OF
the past ten years, and the
great bulk of them of the last
three years.
If they can buy ten States
now how long will it be before
they will own the whole Union,
if they are not checked :

SHE WAS PREPARED.

The vicar of little parish in Devon
shire always felt it to be his duty to give
each young couple little serious advice
before he performed the marriage cere-
mony, and for this purpose he usually
took them aside, one at a time, and talked
very soberly to each of them regarding
the importance Of the step they were to
take and the new responsibilities they
were TO assume.
One day he talked in his most earnest
manner for several minutes to young
woman who had come to be married.
"And now" he said, in closing, 81
hope you fully realize the extreme inn
portance of the step You are taking and
that you are prepared for it.

"Well, if l amt prepared don't know
