Won DIEDERICHS
SUPERSEDED
Prince Henry Placed in Command of
Germany's Asiatic Fleet, to Show
Friendship for America.

BERLIN, March GA high official of
the German navy department has in
formed the Associated Press that the
appointment of Prince Henry of Prussia,
brother of Emperor William, to the
command of the East Asiatic squadron,
had been considered for months past,
and was finally decided upon as being
the most expedient, the emperor desir-
ing to show the American people that
he is thoroughly friendly to them, know
ing Henry is popular in the United
States.
When the official referred to was asked
whether the appointment was equivalent
to the disgrace of Admiral Won Diedericbs
he said:
"Not exactly. If Diederichs had
shown more tact last summer before
Manila, it would undeniably haye been
productive of good results all around.
Our government, unfortunately, was ad-
yised too late of mum Der of occurrences
before Manila. none of which were really
important, but which showed grave want
of tact upon DiederichesH part.
The above is important, as being the
first German official admission that there
has been trouble between the Germans
and Americans in Manila bay.

TALK ON
The Teachings of History Reviewed and
Considered,

IL teachings OF History Reviewed and
Considered.
AT the conclusion of an address on
The New Republic" N. o. Nelson, a
leading business man Of st. Louis.
said:
IN republics, people govern them
selves by chosen representatives. FIRE.
quently republics are despotic; in fact,
they are ruled by one man or a small
class. Switzerland is the best exam
pie OF a republic, conforming it's prac-
tlce to its theory. Mexico is a republic
III form; it has a peculiarly wise and
humane president, but he exercises au-
tocratic power. England is not repub-
llcan in form: it has a hereditary
crown and house of lords, but there
are few republics where the govern
ment responds SO quickly to the wishes
OF the people. Florence was a repub-
nc, but Lorenzo was a tyrant as we'll
as a despot. The republic of Greece
comprised about 10000 f~reemen-all
the rest were slaves.
There are no republics of great
age. OF the two conspicuous modern
examples, Switzerland has preserved
its institutions by natures limitations,
which have kept its people in COM
parative simplicity and equality, while
1t has not tempted the aggressions of
ambitious %neighbors. The other one,
this wonderful new one of ours, is yet
on its trial. Unlimited land and mix
ture of people have maintained an in

the strain Of great social changes.
Along with this phenomenal energy
have come concentration of population
into cities, concentration of wealth
n the means Of production into a
lessening class, concentration of COM
merce into massive corporations. There
Is scarcely a trace left of the rural re-
public founded by Washington, JEFF
fersOn and Hamilton.

ture. The new republic must regard
more the welfare of it's people than
the amassing of property; that all of
its citizens shall be we'll clothed and
fed and housed n educated is more
important than that some should reyel
in luxury. The city Of the future
should have no slam; it should own
and conduct all manner of public sery-
ice and convenience and recreations: it
should have a permanent civil serv-
ice, avoiding the %corrupting influence
Of private franchise values and of the
spoils of Office. The state and national
governments should perform all these
public functions which history and our
own experience teach us tend to be-
come oppressive n destructive il
private hands. Not a master, but a
servant; not a repressive power, hut
an efficient, economic agent. This Is
the high ideal of government to which
we should aspire"

Now that the fight is on in earnest
against the trusts, and the money
power behind the trusts, Senator De-
pew will make nc more such speeches
as that OF 1892, and he will lead no

soon after this, when evening came
on we heard a noise in the f%orecastle,
and the voice of Hislop exclaiming:
Stand ~clear-sheer Off, Antonio! If
you come athwart me, I'll knock you
down with a handspike! What! you
grip your knife, do you? Well, just
40 1t again, and I'll chuck you over
board like a bit Of old junk"
What is the matter now?' said l,
fastening forward.
ION, this rascally Spanish creole has
been swearing at the men again, and
threatening old Roberts"
He vows, sir, he will burn the
ship said Roberts, who seemed con-
siderably excited.

voyage"
TWere best for all concerned, sir"
said Tom Lambourne, touching his
forelock with his right hand, and Civ
ing the deck a scrape with his left
foot; "or set him adrift with some
provisions in the j~olly-boat."
Come, come, AntoDio," said Wes-
ton, with greater severity thar l had
hitherto seen expressed in his open
n honest countenance, you must
maui your wind-for some time you
have been going too far. I can't spare
my jolly-boat, and, thank heaven! the
days Of NARROWING are past among
British sailors, but beware you, Ship
mate, OF the bilboes it shall be, and
we have a pretty heavy pair below.
And as for you, Mare Hislop," he
added, in a low voice, when we walked
ait, take care of yourself, for these
Spanish creolcs are as slippery and
t~reacherous as serpents."
III keep my weather eye OPEN"
said Hislop.
You will require to do so, I think"
You do?' exclaimed the Scotsman,
with growing anger. eff ne proceeds
thus, I'll break either his heart or his
neck"
Next morning, Roberts, the old man.
o'-War's man, who had always been
AntOnlO's chief accuser concerning his
dreams, was nowhere to be found on
board!
All the hands were turned up; the
whole brig was searched, the fore
castle berths, the cable-tier, and every
place below from the fore to the after
peak, but there was no trace of Rob
erts, save his old tarpaulin hat lying
crushed and torn in the lee scunpers.
He was last seen when turned ND
to take the middle watch, which ex-
tends from - to 4 o'clock a. M. and
Antonio was then in his hammock.
Roberts was entered in the log as
having fallen overheard in the
night but his loss cast a terrible
gloom owe all the ship. SUSPICION
grew apace, n seemed to become con-
firmed, as open war was soon declared
between the crew and Antonio.
Every man was ready to take his
"trick' at the wheel, rather than trust
the Eugene to his steering in the
night, lest he might let her breach to.
and lose her spars, or do some other
mischief; and no man, if he could
avoid it, would lay Out on the ward
beyond him. No man would walk on
the same side of the deck with him
or exchange a word, or a light for a
pipe, or use the same cup or plate: SO
he was generally to be seen, leaning
modify and alone, against the wind
lass bits, with his black eyes fixed
on the horizon. as if he expected a
sail or something else to heave in
sight.

NOTES.

Wages have been raised in a few of
the trust factories, but the ex-workers
in the factories closed by the trusts
are getting no wages at all.
In the few factories where wage
have been raised the increase is not
on the average, as large as the cut
in 1897; therefore the marvellous pros.
perity of today is not quite as good
as the Cleveland panic.

Later on Mr.. Depew said that Gin
five years from today there will not be
an Independent business man in any
large or in any considerable place in
the United States. Every business will
be in the hands of a strong, CONSOLE
dated organization, which is called a
trust. It will destroy all opportunity
for independent energy or competi-
ton, or for that rise OF young men
which, We have boosted, has been one
of the great opportunities of this coun-
try"

The speech of Mr.. Depew quoted by
Senator Chandler was the special plea
of the paid attorney of the railroad
trust, and no one knew it's fallacies
better than Mr.. Depew himself. If
the railroad pooling bill had passed,
the trusts would not have been in
jured In the least, for the reason that
many Of the railroad magnates are
financially interested in trusts, and all
Of the rest could be induced to be-
come trust stockholders by Offering
them the stock at a low enough price.
Therefore the incentive to discrimi-
nate in railroad rates in favor Of trusts
and against their competitors would
still exist. Public control of railroads.
if the public officials were honest,
would prevent the unfair discrimina-
ton that fosters trusts; but a private
railroad trust would do nothing Of the
kind, and Mr.. Depew knew it.

While all that Mr.. Depew said re-

he knew it was true, he was not talk
ing for the purpose Of hurting the
said trusts, and he never will.

colliery near town in the near future.
This company is the owner of an i'm
mense bed of fine coal on and adjoining
what was known as the KEEPER tract,
located east of town, between Freeland
and Pond Creek.
Markle & Co. are leaving nothing
undone to increase their large output
and believe that the time has come to
open the new workings.
The tract has been proved at different
times and showed up well and when
operations begin they will be conducted
on large scale.
1t has not been learned Just where
the slope will be sunk, but preparations
for the same are going forward.
The breaker which will be erected
will be large one, as the company is
