About five weeks ago the l.. A. W.
racing board announced that no anna
tours would be allowed TO compete in
races unless they paid a registration
fee of $3.50 AS the amateurs did not
step up and pay just as promptly as
the l.. A. w. expected, the racing board
reconSidered the matter. and announced
that those who registered before June
10 would be given a cheap rate.
Somehow or other the big rush which
was expected for this bargain-counter
registration has not materialiZed, and
the aforesaid racing board is wonder
ing what new scheme it can offer to the
amateurs who. up 10 date, have refused
to nibble at the many tempting bats
thrown out to them.
There is one consolation left for the
L. A. ". The Bulletin announces that
Bastrop, Texas, has applied for sane
ton to hold an l.. A. w. meet.
William Samuelson of Provo will be
a competitor in the races at Calder's
park this afternoon, and is picked as
a winner of the scratch amateur events.
Samuelson will probably follow the ex-
ample Of his rival, Ensign, and turn
professional July 4. These two would
make a very fast professional tandem
team for the race with the Ogden1tes-

The Trend of Events.

Col. D was a man who had
passed his seventy-fifth mile stone. In
the time before the war he had owned
broad acres at the South, as his father
and grandfather had done before him.
A multitude of slaves had worked his
lands; menservants and maidservants
had attended upon him and his family.
His word had been law to more than a
thousand people in the days of his
young manhood; but the war came
and the Colonel's life flowed along new
channels. His slaves disappeared, his
lands were parted with, and, while the
upheaval left him in comfortable cir
cumstances, he has never ceased to
look back TO the good old times before
the war with feelings of the keenest
The other morning an old friend,
visiting the city where the Colonel re-
sides, met him by chance upon the
Iron County register., 1899-03-02

street, and was surprised at his un-
wonted high spirits. He was walking
as spry and swinging his cane jauntily
as if he had been a young man of only
five and twenty years. After the usual
salutations and inquiries about mutual
friends and family health, the CONVEX
sation drifted to the topics of the day.
''How do you feel in regard to ex-
pansion?" his friend inquired.
The Colonel's eyes snapped with
their old-time sparkle as he replied
with enthusiasm, 81 am in favor of it.
sir. l am strongly in favor of it. it
presages better times for this country,
sir!"
''How SOP" asked his friend.
"Why, sir, don't you see that in
tropical and semi-tropical countries
free labor has always been a failure.
When a niger, black or brown, gets
his belly filled he wants to stop right
there aud lie down. The English
tried free labor in Africa, but it
wouldn't work, sir. They had to fall
| back upon form of slave labor, sir
If the English could not make free
| labor work in Africa, depend upon it.,
sir, we cannot make it go in either the
Philippines or the West Indies. The
Sugar Trusts agents will find means to
coerce' labor, sir. Pressure will haye
to be put upon the natives. The over
seer and blacksnake whip will have to
be invoked to obtain results. And re-
suits are as much desired by the Sugar
Trust as they were by the planter back
in the fifties. If we are permitted to
energize the mongrel of the West In
dies and the brown niger of the South
Sea islands with the horse-whip, why
shall we not do the same thing for the
black niger of Mississippi and Louis
lana? Events are beginning to show
that emancipation was a mistake.
DSIISN0 my SIduu-
children will own their servants and
broad acres as tpeir ancestors did be-
fore them"
"But how about the 18th, 14th and
18th amendments to the Constitution"
his friend suggested.
1.-The Supreme Court can be trusted
to take care them when the time ar
rives," replied the Colonel, fourishing
his cane.
ssBut what about white labor?" in
quired his friend.
Poor White Trash was never no
account and never will be. Would be
a heap better if they were placed un-
der restraint and properly directed
much better, sir!"
And so the friends parted, the Col.
with visions of the old order rising
before him, and his friend a little
dazed.

SENATOR LINDSAY of Kentucky
claims that if we keep the Philippines
we will be able to raise our own tropi-
cal products, instead of buying them
from abroad. as we now do, at an ex
pense of two hundred and fifty millions
of money year. The Republic quotes
1--WE take it, with approval,) an article
in the atlantic Monthly from the pen
of w. Alleyne ireland, in which that
writer points out the futility of import
ing labor from the temperate zone into
the tropics; again he points to the fact
that little reliance can be placed upon
native labor when left free. ''In a
of labor is irregular; it cannot be de-
pended on. Such laborers, when they
have earned enough to fill their bellies,
lie down and sleep, leaving their tasks
unfinished" AS remedy for this. the
gentleman with a bifurcated front
name too troublesome to spell, suggests
that the only labor which 1t Is sale to
rely on in tropical lands lis imported
contract labor, placed under conditions
where the LAW compels the fulfilment
of the contract" In other words. q
class of labor that is one of the forms
of involuntary servitude prohibited by
the 18th amendment to the constitu-
ton. Placing this article by the side
of Senator Llndsay's speech. you can

sionist friends are driving at. elm

sentiment, but Mr.. Ireland contends
that 1t is absolutely necessary to make

WITE last Sundays issue the Poplar
Bluff Herald ceased its daily publica'
tion. With plain busines sense the
proprietor said 1--WE can see no prom
ise in the future for daily, and being
unwilling to put any more money in a
losing business we have concluded to
discontinue" The world would suffer
no hurt if the example were to be fol-
lowed by several other publications
we could name. To our eyes there is
nothing more sorrowful than wheezy,
half-starved diurnal. 1t is daily dis
appointment to the reader, an unnec-
essary tax upon the resources of its
protector, and knocks all the good out
of the weekly made up from it. 1t is
a straining after things beyond reach,
which, if attainable, would not justify
the exertion. A store crammed with
evening dress suits could not flourish
in an African village.

behind that gentleman's 44tldntic arti-
Gle for the present. Perhaps, like the
grounding, it is looking for its shadow.
We should really like to know whether
the Republic and Globe Democrat are in
favor of the re-introduction of slavery
into this country or any of its colonies,
and, if they are, what the colored man
and brother of this country thinks
about it. If an overseer can take a
whip and make Sambo ''hump himself
in Cuba, Porto Rico or the Philippines,
just as he did in the South before the
war, why cannot the same thing be
done in Florida or Missouri?

THE attacks of the metropolitan
press upon the trusts are quite as
amusing and spectacular as the COM
bats of the stage, or the old-fashioned
| sham battles our forefathers used to
indulge in on muster-day, when the
opposing forces, armed with corn
stalks, fought the ''mimic fray"
There are exceptional individual writ
ers who are sincere, but the antitrust
articles in such papers as the New
York World, the ST. Louis Republic,
and the Louisville Courier Journal, are
entitled to high rank in the funny
literature of this peclally
when we remember that the latter
paper reversed its policy and abandon
ed the traditions of its entire history
between sun and sun, at the behest of
the very men it was pretending to
fight. Let any proposition be brought
forward vitality affecting the trusts,
and each of the papers of this class
Blanche, Tray and Sweetheart-will be
found in full cry against it. The man
who can read that does not understand
this has about sufficient mental calibre
to go up against shell game. Mr..
Richard Croker's proposition 'that
the Democratic party shall abandon
the Chicago Platform and attack the
trusts" is almost funny enough to make
the man who reads it fall off his chair.
Every intelligent man in this country
knows who pulls the strings when Mr..
Croker jumps. The trusts court at
tack up to certain point, if it will
divert the attention of the people from
the financial issue. They will conde-
scend to organize, engineer and pay
the expenses of such attacks, if they
can be sure that by so doing they will
finally dispose of the money question,
for they know that so long as the gold
standard of values obtains they are
secure, and all legislation directed
against them will be of no avail. They
know that if the volume of money of
final account is ever largely increased
in this country the rising prices it will
bring in its wake will cause money to
flow away from their paper securities
and into real estate and other proper
ties connected with the food-producing
industries of the country. 1t means
for them the loss of the control of the
money market, and their ultimate de-
struction; hence the rancor with which
they fight all propositions looking to
the increase of our supply of money of
final payment. The success of silver
punctures the bladder upon which
they are now sailing so jauntily over
the golden sea of prosperity. 1t will
be an i'll day for the trust when the
investor prefers house and lot to a
block of Standard Oil securities.

A Startling Arrangement.

The current issue of the Public
School Journal contains an editorial
of several pages devoted to the Uni
versity and showing up some Of the
wonderful things in connection with
the present administration. The
language used is courteous and the
reason given for the article is that
love of the institution on the part of
an alumnus together with a jealous
regard for the best interests of this
state prompted it. The indictment
that is drawn is most convincing
one and those who read it will get a
very clear insight into some of the
things that are being done and have
been done. We are sorry that lack
of space forbids its reproduction.

Due to the Newspaper.

In an article in recent issue of
the Wheeling News in reference to
the University the following Ian
guage was used:
The growth of the university dur
ing the past few years has been re-
markable, and it's work in all of it's
departments has been strengthened
and specialized in preparation for the
growth in attendance. Mr.. Barbe
says that the newspapers of the
state have contributed largely to
the rapid growth OF the university
by publishing reports of the work it
is doing, and as the people of the
state become familiar with the great
opportunities at the university they
hasten to take advantage of them.
The newspapers understand the uni
vefsity to be a part of the public
school system of the state, and it is
for this reason that they are glad to
help it along in is great work.
To those who are on the ground
and conversant with the tssin ref
erence to the growth of the school
this sounds like the exact truth.
Nothing has contributed to the in
crease of attendance like the unani-
nous booming of the institution by
the newspapers and it is foolish to
ascribe its growth to any other
cause exclusively.
