comment is of interesting note. It

"Now it will be remembered that
there was introduced in Congress at
its last session bill which, accord
ing to its delusive title, proposes ito
promote commerce and innrease the

Crepe Wells Unhealthful.

Three years used to be the allotted
time for woman to wear mourning
for her husband or q parent. Now,
she wears . heavy crepe veil the first
three months. and very rarely over
the face. as that unhealthful custom
has been much cried down by emil
nent physicians. With the heavy
veil and close bonnet, which is COM
pletely covered, she wears q simply
made black dress of some lustreless
msterial-cashmere, crepon or gren-
adine, according to. the season. For
winter use camel 3 hair is an excellent
material for everyday street wear.
AS little trimming as possible is in
good taste when q woman is wearing
deep mourning.
Children are very seldom put into
mourning now until they are over
twelve years old, at least, and not
always then. 1t is considered un-
healthy by doctors to dress children
in blsek.-From "Present Modes in
Mourning" in Dsmorest's Magazine

clans in this State got in their hell

told. They went down there and
represented this State IS being OPP
posed to pensions. The commander
Of the John T. Jones Camp refused
to give credentials to any delegate
that was not in favor Of Pensions and
went down there and said the old
veterans of his camp did not want
pension and knew ell the time that
so per cent Of the old veterans did
want it and that our delegate had q
list of eigheytwo names of men tina,
wanted it and could have got more

AN ALARMING CONDITION.

Never in the history Of any coun.
try has there been such a tendency
toward consolidation of wealthy in
terests as in the United States du,
ring the present administration, and
especially during the last few weeks
has this movement become so gen.
eral as to constitute cause for most
serious alarm. Take for instance the
new Carnegie Steel Company which
has just been organized and has a
capitalization of six hundred million
with the prospect of its soon being
increased to q billion dollars, an
amount which makes millions look
small. 1t is no longer a question of
the formation Of smaller corpora
tons into trusts, but the more alarm
ing and appalling feature of gigan-
tic trusts merR ing their interests in
to one whole is the spectacle that is
now presented. Besides the Carne-
gle interests, his Carnegie concern it
is said will comprise the folio wing
trusts: The American Steel & Wire;
The National Steel; The American
Tin Plate; The American Tin Plate
and Enamel and the American Steel
Hoop. Is there any man so ignorant
as to think that any smaller concerns
in this line of business can exist
without being completely at the
mercy of this comblnef
We refer to this combination as
simply an example of what is almost
daily occurring in the commercial
world. 1t seems that the corpora
ton and trust kings have become so
sure of their hold upon the reins Of
government that they now openly
defy the puny antitrust laws Of the
country which pretend to restrain
them. In fact the country has new
or known more puerile legislation
than these so-called antitrust laws,
and they are made so by the trusts
and moneyed interest that would be
affected by more vigorous measures.
Believing in the divine right Of the
Almighty Dollar, the few controllers
of this god of America consider it
not only their prerogative but their
duty to see that the legislative ma
chimes of the nation and states man
ufscture only such articles as meet
their approval.
1t is time that the great mass of
all parties were becoming aroused to
the importance of putting a stop to
this one-sided trend of affairs. It can.
not be done by the laws now on the
statute books. In fact no law which
merely seeks to restrain trusts will
prove effective. The causes tina,
produce them must be removed. The
Peoples Party platform is the only
one which offers the true remedy fol-
the removal Of these causes.
