..THERE ARE NO TRUsIs.p

Senator Hanna published signed
article in Sundays New York Jour-
nal defending trusts.
aIn reality there are no trusts"
said Mr.. Hanna in the beginning of
his article, only to contradict him
self farther on. "They are combin-
ations of capital. These are intro
duced in the campaigns by Demo-
erats as a great bugaboo with which
they endeayor to frighten the peo-
pie." :.
This is very complimentary to the
Republicans Of Ohio and other
states, who, in their recent conven-
tions. condemned trusts as vigorous
ly as their Democratic neighSors

The board met in the Office of Secretary
OF State Finley. all three members, ex-
Chief Justice Pryor of the state supreme
court, W. T. Ellis and c. B. Poyntz, be-
ing present. There was a clash between
the commissioners and Secretary of
State Finley, who, by write of his Office,
acted as custodian of the votes, but it
blew over.
The city was very quiet. A large
number Of men. most of them Repubi-
cans, came in from outlying counties.
Among the arrivals were Lieutenanus
Sparks and Scoviile of the Laurel coun-
ty militia, but they did not come ON Or
ders. They came, according to Adju-
rant General Collier. as private citizens
to see what was going on. There was
not semblance of row of any kind.
Mayor DeHoney swore in so extra po-
icemen, but they were needed chiefly
on account of the crowds drawn by
court day and the opening of the con-
gressional campaign.

And then Mr.. Hanna continues:
"Trusts are not a political question
at all. Should they prove to be dan
gerous to the welfare of the people,
should they raise the prices of COM
modities without warrant, should
they stifie completion, no one will be
more ready and willing to condemn
them than myself"
Here's innocence, indeed. Every
farmer, every laboring man and
every housewife can tell Mr.. Hanna
how the trusts are raising the prices
"without warrant" of everything
they have to buy; and every city has
its examples of closed factories,
showing how the trusts "stifie COM

sO lOllS DIS oil blldO 10 odlA 1OooO UilCll
is merely talk and nothing but talk,
so long as they have not proved a
curse to the country, I believe they
should be let alone"
Whether blessing or a curse, the
present Administration and Mr..
Hanna can be depended upon to ''let
the trusts alone" and even to help
them with favorable legislation
when necessary, so long as the trusts
contribute literally tc the party's
campaign fund.
But do the people, who have a
great deal more to say about the
matter than either the Administra-
tion or Mr.. Hanna, want to "let
them alone?" They will have be-
come better acquainted with the
trusts by next fall. That will be the
time to decide.

A SURE CURE FOR GROUP.
Tweniy-ffv Years Constant Use Without
Failure.

The first indication of Group is
hoarseness, and in a child subject to
that disease it may be taken as a
sure sign of the approach of an at
tack. Following this hoarseness is
a peculiar rough cough. If Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is given as
soon as the child becomes hoarse, or
even after the croupy cough appears.
it will prevent the attack. 1t is used
in many thousands of homes in this
broad land and never disappoints the
anxious mothers. We have yet to
learn a'single instance in which it
has not proved effectual. No other
preparation can show such q record

: ANOTHER reed has been shaken by
the wind. Several weeks ago ex-
Speaker Reed made prediction of
what would happen to the President
in Ohio next year We're the opposi-
tion to the Administration party
united, and now the Hon. Whitelaw
Reid has delivered an equally ap-
prehensive prophecy that ''unless
there shall be marked change in
sentiment in the meantime, Ohio will
be lost to the Republicans in 19O0."
Fancy the Hon. Thos. Bracket
Reed, who had to get out of Congress
because he could not endorse the
Administrations policies, and the
Hon. Whitelaw Reid, turned down
by his party for the Vice Presidency
and for the Ambassadorship to Eng
land, shedding tears because their
dismal prophecies might come to
pass.

WESTERN Republicans who hap
pen to be holding Office are taking no
pains to conceal their dislike of the
Administration currency reform
bill. They think it is bad policy to
attempt to fasten the Single Gold
Standard upon the country by legis-
lative enactment, when the country
is now upon gold basis and has
been for many years by the practice
of Gold Standard Administrations
Besides, the fact that the bill
proposes to retire the greenbacks
and put the currency absolutely
under the control of a powerful
banking syndicate, does not strike
the western farmers as being de-
signed wholly in their interests. The
West will have something to say be-
fore the proposed Currency bill is
enacted.

NO WEDDING FOR HER.
Miss Martha Smith Says She Will
Not Marry DR.. Lowry.

Kansas City, May 1S.-Miss Martha
Smith. who has been here for the past
week settling up her S25, 900 judgment
against Dr. H. S. Lowry, said, Wednes-
day:
In a few days 1 shall return to Cal
ifOrnia and at San Francisco next fall
1 intend to begin the study of medicine
at the University of California. AS a
profession it is better than dentistry
and never did like the mechanical end
of dentistry, anyhow.
mo, DR.. Lowry has not called upon
me since L have been in the city this
time. The rumors of the possibili of
a marriage between US after all that
has happened are distressing to me. L
really don't expect to see him again.
Our meeting before 1 left Kansas City
and after the trial was just an acci-
dent. l saw him on West Tenth street
near the Coates House. 1t is a side
street and we were probably both there
to avoid publicity. The weather was so
cold and he wanted to talk to me about
the business feature of the case merely
and we talked in the parlOr of the hotel
awhile.
Our settlement of the judgment was
not a compromise. OF course he was
left his personal property, but if he had
gone into bankruptcy as threatened 1
should hardly have realized any more
than 1 now shall I believe in being
merciful to the vanquished.
No said Miss Smith. Il have re-
ceived no offers to go on the stage"
Miss Smith has not yet returned the
diamond engagement ring.

SCORCHERS MOBBED
Because One of Them Ran Over

Chicago, May 1S.-Three scorchers
were in imminent danger of losing their
lives at the hands of an indignant
crowd at Oak and Orleans streets last
evening. One of the trio had collided
with an aged woman, Mrs.J. w. Isman,
causing injuries that may result in her
death. For more than ten minutes the
wheelmen We're kicked and beaten un-
mercifully. A man in a buggy finally
rescued one of them. The other two
took advantage of the diversion caused
by the newcomers interposition,
jumped upon their wheels and rode
away. Later the three wheelmen were
arrested. One of them. George Ben
nett, admitted he had struck Mrs. Is
man. He claimed that he was unable
to avoid the collision.
