HOIST BYITS OWN PETARO.

1t appears that the Industrial com
mission which has been Investigating
trusts has made discoveries unpleasant
to the administration and will as Il con-
sequence cease its ''pernicious activity
and take a rest. Havemeyer's dunn
dunn bullet has split the investigation
into fragments and with its solid front
destroyed the usefulness of the COM
mission may be considered ended. AT
a hint from the administration to the
effect that discovering damaging facts
concerning trusts was, to say the least,
an ungrateful piece of business the
commission has decided to divide into
sections and junket about through the
country for a while. After that the
alleged plan is to reconvene at Wash
ington some time in July. But those
who appear to know what they are
talking about allege that the trust in
vestigation will not be resumed in July
nor at any other date.
OF course, the industrial commission,
so far as the administration was con-
cerned, was expected to make bluff at
investigating trusts. The very fact that
Havemeyer was called as witness
proves this proposition. Who could i'm
agine that this magnate of one of the
largest trusts in the country would be
so injudicious as to tell the truth about
the trusts?
Really, the situation is pathetic. The
bucket of whitewash has been filled
with surplusage of lampblack and
there is trouble in the commission.
However. the mischief has been done.
The facts brought out before the COM
mission are enough to condemn the
Republican party and TO furnish an Is
sue of gigantic proportions for the po-
litical campaign of 1900. Like the I'M
skillful gunner, the administration has
been hoist by its own petard.

Egerton discover the whereabouts of
his wife. His theory was that as it was

friends, she must be earning her own
living, and he believed she was doing
this by journalism.

he asked. Thrown on her own re-
sources, she would naturally turn to an
occupation of which she knew some
thing. With her gifts and the know[

There is no end to stamp collecting,

sometimes twice in the course of sim

scarcity of those particular issues, and
the engraving company which printed
the original stamps for nothing get the
benefit.
The Spanish war has also set the

Tariff Is a Local Issue.

Henry o. Havemeyer, president OF
the sugar trust, told the industrial COM
mission some truths which seemed not
to be entirely welcome. The truth of
chief Importance at the present time,
and the one upon which Mr.. Have
meyer laid most emphasis, he uttered
in his first short sentence: THE mother
of some trusts is the customs tariff
bill" Making the statement more COM
plete and setting forth the protective
tariff as the chief incentive to the for
nation of trusts. he added: Economic
advantages incident to the consolida-
ton of large interests in the same line
Of business are a great incentive TO
their formation, but these bear an in
significant proportion to the advant-
ages granted in the way of protection
under the customs tariff" He shed
light upon this proposition by saying:
"All this agitation against trusts is
against merely the business machinery
employed to take from the public what
the Government in its tariff laws says
It is proper and suitable they should
have. 1t is the Government, through
its tariff laws, which plumbers the peo-
pie. and the trusts. ETC., and merely the
machinery for doing it." For instance,
the Government lays duty of 60 per
cent on crockery. BY so doing it says
it is proper and suitable that the Amer
lean makers of crockery should get 60
per cent more for their wares than they
probably could get If American users
of crockery were free to buy where
they could get it cheapest. When Gov
ernment says 1t is proper for them to
get this extra 60 per cent they take 1t
at its word-not reluctantly, of course
and combine to stifie competition
among themselves and get the entire 60
per cent, although they may be abun-
dainty able TO fight their own battle,
and prove it by exporting crockery and
selling it in free competition against
foreign makers.-Chicago Chronicle.

Destruction of Trusts.

1t has long been argued in these col
umns that the trusts have within them
selves the seeds of their own destruc-
ton. But 1t has been pointed out that
this self-destruction would cause a
panic which would retard the progress
of this country and plunge thousands
of innocent people into ruin. For this
reason it Is important that the growth
of trusts should be checked and the dis
asters which would follow their sudden
downfall prevented. That trusts must
finally fall through the evils which
lurl within them is evident to the care
full observer.
overstocked. Take, for illustration, the
trusts organized during last month in
New Jersey. These combines were
formed on a basis of $1S7, 900 pre-
ferred stock and $377, 100000 common
stock. The preferred stock represents
organizations, the common stock is all
water.
Such balloons as these can float only
SO long as there is a craze for specu-
lation. When the cold air of common
sense strikes these puffed-up concerns
the gas will escape, the balloons col
lapse and ruin will be the result In
order to prevent such widespread dis
tress, which will be the end of trust
speculation, the combines should be
controlled. They are not only pres,
ent evil, but they threaten great and
overwhelming cataclysm in the finan,
cial world.-Chicago Democrat.

TOM EDlSON'S FIRST CHECK.

1t is not everyone that understands

check Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe
| was sorely puzzled over the huge check
her publishers paid her for her royal
ties in Uncle Toms Cabin" and her
husband could not tell her how to get
| money on it. So, also, was it with Tom
Edison when he got his first check.
When he completed his model of the
now famous ticker" he submitted it to
the president of a telegraph company,
who asked him to leave it for eXamna
ton. Edison was out of money and
his landlady had warned him for the
last time. He had decided to ask So
600 for his invention, but when the
president at the next interview asked
his price his courage oozed away, and
he faltered out that he would like the
company to make an offer.
"How would $4,000 suit your said
the president.
What exclaimed the young wiz
ard. 'all in money!"
Certainly; you can have it now."
"All right"
A check was drawn and handed over
to Edison with these words: "That is
check for $4,000. Go to the bank
around the corner and they will give
you the money"
At the bank he got into the long line
and worked up to the paying teller's
window. Then he pushed the check
over the sill. The teller saw that it
was not indorsed and pushed it back
with fitting remarks, which Edison did
not understand he being even then
slightly deaf. He retired crestfallen
and the thought dawned upon him that
he had been swindled. He had anoth-
er scene with his landlady that night
and visited the telegraph president the
next morning in sheer desperation He
told of his experience at the bank and
begged for his money or his model

The Sayings of Jefferson.

Honesty is the first chapter in the
book of wisdom.
No national crime passes unpunlshed
In the long run.
NO government can continue good
but under the control of the people
independence can be trusted nowhere
but with the people.
A single good government becomes a
Blessing to the whole earth.
We are never permitted to despair of
the commonwealth.
4 respectable minority is useful as
censors.
The execution of the laws is more
important than the making of them.
Agriculture, manufacture, commerce
and navigation, the four pillars of our
prosperity, are the most thriving when
left most free to individual enterprise
If we are faithful to our country. If
we acquiesce with good will in the de-
cisions Of the majority, and the nation
moves en- masse in the same direction,
although it may not be that which ev-

nothing TO fear from any quarter.
The introduction of one new culture
is worth more to a nation than all the
victories of the most splendid battles
of their history.
Every man and every body of men
possess the power of self-government.
They receive it with their being from
the hand of nature. Individuals exer-
else it by their single will, collections
of men by that of their majority, for
the law of majority is the natural law
of every society of men.
Educate and inform the whole mass
of the people. Enable them to see
that 1t is their interest to preserve
peace and order, and they will preserve
them.
The press is the best instrument for
enlightening the mind of man and i'm
proving him as a rational, moral and
social being.
Our first and fundamental maxim
should be never to entangle ourselves
with the broils of Europe. Our second
never to suffer Europe to intermeddle
with cis-atlantic affairs.

We watch and wait for a favoring gale
To fill the folds of an idle sail

We know we must toll if ever We win
Some other day,
But we say to ourselves there's time TO

Some other day;
And so, deferring, we loiter on,
Until at last we find withdrawn
The strength of the hope we leaned upon
Some other day.
And when we are old and our race is run,
Some other day,

We trace the path that leads us where
The beckoning hand of grim despair
Leads us yonder out of the here,
