ily indorse the action already taken
upon this subject, and ask for such
further legislation as may be requir'
ed to remedy any defects in existing
laws and to render their enforcement
more complete and effective"
In 1892 the DOGGY was the robber
tariff, and the Republican remarks
about trusts scarcely stirred more in
terest than the assertion in the same
platform that 1--WE sympathize with
all wise and legitimate efforts to les
sen and prevent the evils OF intem-'
perance and promote morality
In 1896 the actual issues were too
important to leave any space for
extras in the Republican platform
It was silent as to trusts. Even the
Democratic platform, while speaking
of the Mckinley tariff as "a prolific
breeder of trusts and monopolies, J"
mentioned directly only the railroad
consultations and asked that the
federal government should look after
them.
If the Sherman antitrust act has
not accomplished what was expected
of it, that is not the fault OF the Re
publicans. Too much has been ex-
pected of it. As Attorney General
Griggs has pointed out, the forma-
ton and regulation Of trusts is in the
hands of the state legislatures. They
can deal with them as vigorously as
they choose, subject to the constitu'
ton and its Interpretation by the
supreme court of the United States.
Kansas under Republican admin
istration has done its share against
trusts. The law passed by the Kan
sas legislature during the past win
ter, preventing any foreign corpora
ton from enforcing a claim against {
debtor unless it has received authority
to operate in the State from the char
ter board, while ethically obiectiona
BILE, may prove an effective instru
ment against trusts. In importan
respects the Kansas law is analagou
to the Missouri law which has jus
been sustained by the circuit court o
appeals in that state.
In 1891 the Missouri legislator
passed a law against combines provid
ing that "any purchaser Of any arti
Gle or commodity from any individ
ual, company or corporation transact
ing business contrary to the proceed

The library station system is fast
spreading in New York. The idea is
to have a station in widely different
localities, SO as to accommodate the
people, many of whom would not go
to the central libraries for books.
This plan has been in successful oper-
alton in Rockingham for several years
A box of books is made up and sent
each week to four different villages in
the town, from the central station at
Bellows Falls. This enables the peo-
pie of Saxton's River, Rockingham,
Bartonsville, ETC., to have just as good
accommodations as those living near
the library itself. Randolph and
other towns have adopted the idea
with good results. Let the free town
library system continue to spread. 1t
is spreading the light of knowledge
far and wide.

In July 1895 he had made a deposit in the Banco Comercial of this city, authorizing ong k. A Peck also to check against the same. The last check by Reeves was cashed by the bank on the second of March, 1896, or about year pre- ylous to his last letter to his family; and the balance was drawn out by Peck January 18th, 1898, the latter saying that he was going into the mountains to look for Reeves. The mother and brother of Reeves are of course we're anxious about him, and would like to know what has become of him and if dead of alive.

An American Citizen

Chas. A. Berner, who recently ar
rived in Honolulu as stowaway on
one of the transports, was arrested
last night on charge OF having
opium in possession.
The man who looks like a typical
hoodlum had been frequenting a
notorious gambling den during the
few days he has been in the coun.
try. He did not deny to the Mag
istrate that he had been using
opium but claimed it was necessary
for his health to do so. The Mag
istrate told the young man that if
that was the case he should have
observed the law by applying TO the
accommodating doctor of the pub
lie Dispensary for the drug and a
certificate stating that he was en-
titled to use opium Mr.. Berner
didn't like the idea at all and told
the Judge in somewhat forcible
language that he was san Amer
lean citizen" The Judge then told
the defendant that he didn't care a
snap whether the defendant was the
Angel Gabriel and fined him $50
and costs, which means that Mr.
Berner will assist in road making
during the next four months, and
thusly become valuable citizen of
Hawaii.
