1RD DEATH or .. =. ARMouR.

A long. clean and useful life has been
ended by the death OF Simeon, Brooks Ar
mour-a life that reflected the finest pssn.
Of citizenship. The story OF this life L. not
dissimilsr from many that have stamped
themselves on American history and Amer
lean achievement. Born and reared upon
the farm. accustomed In all his earlier
years 70 hard work. temperate. habits. ra-
t!onai economy. strict discipline and sound
morals. Mr.. Armour brought into the larger
operations Of middle and later life a char
acter OF singular worth and . oenstitu-
ton OF exceptional strength. He was proud
OF the name he bore. but to preserve the
honor Of that name was not necessarily
. purpose. for the natural inclInations Of
such . man would bring honor to the fam
lily OF which he was . member.
The name Of 8. B. Armour has been iden-
tiled with one Of the greatest industries
Of Kansas City from its founding to its
present vast proportions. as well a. witn
every great public Improvement that has
been made in the years Of his residence
here. The name has been SYNONYMOUS with
business enterprise. public spirit and per-
sonal modesty. And yet the public has
never known how much has been accom-
plished through the charity M generosity
Of Mr.. Armour. for he invariably preferred
privacy to publicity. and was especially
attentive 70 the wants Of those faithful
employees to whom he had become attached
BY o n intimate acquaintance.
The life Of Simeon B. Armour was ex-
emplary.. and. while 1t has been ended
thrqukh b psturaL osuRDs - .time. his
character should stand for emulation in
/ the years that are to come. 1t is gratify-
ing to his faniiy and friends to NOW that
he was not for any considerable time inca-
saeitatel for the duties and the pleasures
| q life. for such enforced withdrawal from
activity would ave been exceedingly irk-
some. II mot distressing. to q man Of Mr..
Armour's disposition. Kansas City has suf-
/ feyed q genuine loss.

Silver Democracy Loses Its
e. Manager.

b. Manager.
From the Chicago Tiraes-Herald.
Cruel and relentless fate appears to be
strewing the pathway of the Silver De-
mocracy with broken glass in large guam
titles. II there are any pr,mroses along
the highways of Organism and repudia-
ton they nave not been discovered thus
far this spring. The outlook is dark. chilly
and foreboding.
Close upon the heels Of the Bryan-Bel-
mont battle of the %banquets comes the an
nouncement that the Silver Democracy and
General Manager Coin Harvey have
parted c~ompany-just as wheat and silver
parted company two years ago. In this
instance, however, the separation was not
caused by the law of supply n demand
but by the forces OF incompatibility. The
head of the business end of the Demo-
cratic party has quit because Senator Jones
would not adopt "a practical business-like
policy" while Senator Jones claims that
the famous bookmaker on reputation, who
planned an elopemeEt between silver and
wheat, is visionary and a dreamer
This seems a very ~inopportune time for
Senator Jones to prefer such charges
against Coin Harvey. After Mr.. Har-
vey has been indus,rious!y gathering in the
'sineWs of war from those who are will
ing 10 be educated" UP TO the theory that
congress can nurlify the law Of supply and
demand and lesislate value into a COM
modify, Senator Jones now gravely an
! nouhces that he believes Mr.. Harvey is
visionary"
Can 1t be possible that Senator Jones has
| just realised that the head "embalmer" OF
the 1S to ! fallacy is 4 dreamer" Has it
taken the Arkansas statesman three years
| to learn that Q man who believes the gov
ernment can make 70 cents worth OF silver

The Attorney General and the Octo-
puses.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
The Hon. John w. Griggs, the attorney
general of the United States, has written a
letter upon trusts. which is of singular
lucidity and curiously opportune. He sets
forth the relation of the federal govern
ment to the corporations and combinations
which engage in manufacture in the Gif-
ferent states. and shows that 1t is a pop
ular error to suppose that they are sub
ject to regulation and control by him.
They are amsnable. he says, IL they are
amenable at all, to the laws of the re-
spective states. and not otherwise.
The attorney general delivered his opin-
ion in reply to a letter from Mr.. J. C. Bor-
radaile. of Philadelphia, who, being sore
1y troubled over the formation Of trusts,
thought he discerned a great opposition to
them among the people, and desired. as
a good Republican, that the party would
meet the issue and cause prosecutions to
be instituted under the Sherman act. There
are not a few people like Mr.. Borradaile.
and We think that all. or nearly all of
them, will, If they look into the matter
duly. be led to take another view OF it.
Most sensible men who study the subject
Of trusts intelligently must presently per-
ceive that the opposition TO them is chiefly
in the newspapers. A great part of the
press apparently thinks 1t sells papers by
bowling against trusts, and not bowling
the truth. For the rest the opposition is
made up Of a few statesmen In stress for
party planks, and Of a few professional
b~lackmailers. Among laboring men there
Is no opposition to trusts. because they pay
good wages and never require strikes.
Walking delegates. however. decry and de-
nounce trusts. bat only out of a sense of
rivalry. The labor unions entertain no real
hostility to trusts. They make some su-
p~erficial noise against them. but they are
controlled interiorly by the reflection that
ito live and let live is to be wise.
In all our observation Of trusts we have
known but two kinds of assaults made on
them. The commonest was hat instigated
by Wall street stock jobbers for the effect
it might produce upon the prices OF a
trust stock in the market; and the less fire.
| quent, but equally familiar, was that Of
the blackmailer. This last divides easily
into two. the blackmailer who has not
been taken into a trust. or who has failed
to sell out to q trust. and the blackmailer
who owns a hungry newspaper.
Mr.. Griggs appears to be wholly obtuse
to the claims and the clamor OF all these
worthless. He refuses to pervert the ma
chinery Of the federal law to serve their
purposes. If the trusts are amenable at
all it is to the courts in the respective
states. And If they are amena5le it must
be by reason of their practices. and II
those offend the law
those offend against the law, their au-
thors should be punished like individuals.
