HARRIsoN,s REELECTION.

The result of the Chicago local election
will not come as surprise to those who
continued informed on the subject of the
politics of that community Mayor Har-
risons plurality is. however. larger than
even his friends anticipated, and places
him in the forefront of available Demo-
cratic material for national purposes. Ex-
Gov. Altgeid. on the other hand. gives
place to his successful competitor for the
Chicago mayoraity, as factor in nation
al politics
There is no mistaking the significance
of the reelection of Mayor Harrison. The
mass of the Democracy, at least of Cook
county, Illinois. is plainly inslstent on its
demand for Democratic unification. The
regular candidate of the party will re-
ceive the support of the Democratic
masses in all events, unless there is
found substantial objection to his cleo
ton. There was no such objection made
plain in this case Mayor Harrison had
stood Loyalty by the people in their con-
test against the corrupt and degrading
policy of the Yerkes street car monopoly.
His opinions had undergone no change.
He was as good and as true Democrat
seeking reelection as he was when first
chosen as mayor The enemies of his
party fought him as bitterly in the later
election as they had in the earlier His
defeat, If accomplished, would have
meant the defeat of his party and the
success of Repubicanism.
Nor is the smallness of ex-Gov. Altgeld 8
vote without its significance. II shows
plainly that Democrats are not ready to
discard a capable public official of their
political creed simply because his nOmi-
nation does not suit a fraction of the
party following. No doubt Mr.. Altgeld
is a sincere man, as he undoubtedly Is
| an able one. But his mission in the con-
| test just closed did not commend itself to
| those who regard the success OF the
Democracy as of greater Importance than
| the political fortunes of any Individual.
AS the candidate of his party for COVER
=
vote of the Democrats of Chicago. AS the
| candidate of dissatisfied fraction of his
| party for mayor of Chicago, there never
| was any intelligent reason for believing
| that the result, 50 far as it concerned
! him, could be otherwise than 1t was.
The moral of the Chicago election to all
! Democrats is found embodied in the one
word, 'Unite!' There is no occasion Of
| present difference which will not be dis
sipated as Democrats come nearer to-
| gether and lay aside individual prejudices
and preferences. The duty of Democrats
of all shades of opinion toward each other
is made quite plain by the reelection of
Mayor Harrison.

MAIDENHOOD.

Fair maiden who doth in the dusk Of eve

With joy is filed thy heart, that pure

Has throbbed against sins dark attacks

How blue the skies Ger thee, and how
benign!
And yet, sweet maid, methinks the stars
would shine
Upon sweeter hue should thy blue eyes
Be rarified within those tender skies
What! hast thou lost thy way, sweet
maid? 'Tis so.
The tall trees shadows darker, gloomier
grow,
And yet, methinks, could I but see thy
face,
Through darkest nights. my path well
would l pace.
And ne'er would note In heavens east
ern height
Serene Morn sending his inferior light,
Unless his coming l should hear thee
greet,
A welcome spoken by thy lips so sweet,
That form little chalice where there be
A rosiness too dear for me to see
Thus live. and He for whom thy heart
doth beat
Ere many years have run their courses
fleet,
A virgin sweet in heaven He'll make thee.
And if. a place therein is given me,
Not mid angels in pureSt white arrayed
Shall look In that world OF bliss, sweet
maid.
To see thy beauty. but still nearer Him,
For fairer than round heads of seraphim,
He'll make for thee most sweet and ten

Trusts Breed Panics.

United States Investor.
A state of affairs is being evolved which
must inevitably produce a financial crash
Of the greatest magnitude. Persons Of
clear judgment were able to predict in
1890 that the silver legislation Of that year
would result In financial panic Of the
worst description. But they were no
more confident then regarding the out
come of the silver policy of this country
than we are today regarding the disas-
trous consequences Of our present mad
career in the formation of trusts. Trusts
are the agency which will produce the
next panic In this country, and we are
of the opinion that the wreck will equal
any that have preceded it.
In one way or another panics are al
ways the result Of initiation Early crises
in this country were produced by initiating
land values, or bank-note issues. That
of 1873 was occas1oned by an imitation Of
general prices. The panic Of 1888 was
produced by silver, imitation. The next
occurrence will Internationally be traced
back to the present imitation of corpora
ton capitalizations; in other words. to
the appalling stockwatering of today.
/ Where there was one trust In 1893, there
are now a dozen. Since Jan. l, 1898, at
least 81 700, 000. 900 of securities have been
created by new trusts, and the movement
seems to be gathering momentum every
new capitalization is water" pure and
simple, and no demonstration is required
to convince rational mind that such In
f1ation must necessarily occasion a crash
that will shake the very pillars Of Amert-
can industry some day.
l. The world has witnessed many insane
movements in the pursuit Of gain, but
nothing that exceeded In folly the pres
ent trust mania. Trusts are established
for the avowed purpose of diminishing
competition. but it is obvious that. under
the procedure adopted, they are bound
In the nature of things, to intensity com
petition. The cost Of starting any par
ticular Industry is certain to be dimin-
ished each year; and the inevitable result
will be a crop of new competitors to the
present trusts, which, by taking ad-
vantage of all the new economies and by
keeping their capitalizations down to le
gitimate figures. will force the water
| logged concerns OF today to the wall
! The end will not come without ire
mpndouS crash.

MRS. GEORGES TRIAL ON.
Crowd In Attendance Necessitates
Appointing Extra Bailfffs.


Appointing Extra Bailfffs.
CANTON, Ohio, April 4.-The first day
of the t''al cf Mis-. Anna =. George for
the murder of George d. Saxton, brother
of Mrs Mckinley, closed with seven men
occupying seats in the jury box. In Sc
curing this number oaly ten Of the spe-
cial venire of forty had been called, three
OF " ilom were excused. The examinations
today were only on qualifications, and
jurors could only be excused for cause.
There are yet eight on peremptory chal-
lepges at .he disposal of the attorney.
Two of these only belong to the stare,
and one to the defense.
Aside from the work on the jury the
day was occupied in disposing of formali-
ties, and technical point raised which
occasioned some argument by counsel.
Judge Isaac M. Taylor Is presiding, and
the crowd is so large that he appoint
ed three extra bailiffs to serve in the
court room during the trial, which is
likely to occupy three or four weeks.
Except the several women friends and
women relatives of Mrs. George, who,
with her older son, accompanied her to-
day, there were not many women in the
court room, although there were quite
a number in the corridors.
Three desired witnesses are still absent,
but an agreement was reached to pro-
coed without them. About 125 witnesses
have already been subpoenaed and the
| list is being constantly increased.
Soon after the opening, Mrs. George
| was brought into court, accompanied by
| her seventeen-year-old son, Newton, and
! Mrs. Siddinger, of Alliance, her friends
| She was stylishly gowned in bright
| blue storm serge, with light blue
| silk trimmings, a stylish hat Of black
| with plumes and wing trimmings, and
| a small bunch of white flowers. She
| wore a black feather boa, and brown
| kid gloves Although little pale, she
| was looking well, and gave undivided
| attention to the proceedings.
J. J. Grant was formally appointed as
sistant prosecuting attorney, and object
| ed to proceeding without the attendance
| of Russell Hogan, a twelve-year-old boy
| witness whom the sheriff could not find
and who is wanted by both sides
| At the coroner's inquest young Hogan
| testified that he saw some person In
| black come from the AIthouse property
just after the shooting, and pass on the
| opposite side of the street He did moi
know whether 1t was man or woman
| He said he could not tell whether it was
Mrs. Althouse or Mrs. George.
| After ten veniremen had been disposed
! of, three being excused, court adjourned
until $50 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Counsel for Mrs. George have ordered
| summonses served upon Mrs. Mary
| B. Barber, a sister Of Saxton, and Cor.
win D. Bachtel cashier Of the George D
! Harter bank, to appear as witnesses fol

FINLAND AND THE PEACE CON-
FERENCE.

The governments of civilized nations
have selected or are selecting their rep
rcsentatives for the conference asked by
Russia's car to consider the feasibility

: maintenance of permanent peace among
Cd nations through limitation upon their
ornaments. The circular met with gen
{. eral dlstrust of its sincerity feeling ex-
pressed by kipling in his poem; but, gen.
orally the nations have accorded it
candor denied it by the press, and are
preparing to go into solemn and deliber-
ate consultation over the proposition.
The feeling of distrust will find rein
forcement in the recent action of the
car towards the dependency Of Finland
for surely, if his desire is universal peace.
then he is bound to abstain from acts of
injustice that would warrant an appeal
to arms whether by people of another
nation or by portion of his own nominal
subjects. While, since 1909, Finland has
been a Russian province, the fundamen-
tai laws are those of the Swedish consti-
tuition of 1772 and the act of union of 1889.
These have been repeatedly confirmed by
the cZars, the latest by Alexander IL in
1854. While the cZar has appointed the
governor general and the senators, all
these and other dignitaries are, by the
terms of the constitution, Firms Nine
tenths of the inhabitants are SweGes, tn
language is Swedish ard. in spite of eff
forts to Russianize the language it re-
mains the common tongue today The
constitution gave to the Firms a diet pat
termed after that of Sweden, but from
1909 to 1863 the czars refused to convo,se
it That year Alexander opened the diet
and its acts have received imperial sane
ton.
Now, by his ukase. the car sweeps
away every vestige OF autonomy and re-
