THE HOME OF TRUSTS.
FREE-TRADE ENGLAND THEIR
FAVORlTE SOIL.
To Abolish Protection in the United
States as a Means of Thrott1ing the
Combines Would Be Fatal to Many
American Industries.

Under the caption, 1.-THE Growth Of
Monopoly in English Industry" III. w.
Macrosty, in the contemporary Re-
view," furnishes some interesting in
formation respecting trusts in Great
Britain which deserves to be attentive
~ studied by those misguided writer's
who assume that protection is respon-
sible for the movement in the direction
Of Industrial combination so prevalent
In this country at present.
Mr.. Macrosty furnishes abundant
evidence that the phenomena is not
confined to protective countries, and
shows that the movement is as far
reaching in free trade England as in
the United States. Speaking of the
growth of combinations in the United
Kingdom he says:
Single amalgamations, while not
entirely excluding competition, control
the screw, cotton, thread, salt, alkali
and india rubber tire industries In
other cases a formal agreement of
masters fixes prices; thus, in the hoI

there is no open market in anthony,

says:
Nevertheless, with the weapon Of
state control in hand, combination
may be welcomed, and If control
proves insufficient, state purchase and
public administration remain behind"
Protectionists, accustomed as they
are to the idea of regulation, will not
hesitate to resort to the most drastic
measures if they find it necessary to do
so in order to stamp out the evil. By
carefully limiting the area Of COM
petition to their own country the
statesmen Of protective nation can
control trusts, but that will be found
an impossible achievement In a free
trade country, for the simple reason
that the attempt to prohibit combina-
ton in land with wide-open trade
doors will prove destructive to domes-
tic industry.-San Francisco Chronicle.
Fit Punishment for Atkinson.
Don't send M Atkinson to Jail
Don't accommodate him in that way.
In this matter he isn't worth feeding

The American punishment for such
public enemies is public contempt, as
lasting as it is sincere, as earnest in
spirit as 1t is humorously temperate In
expression. No fine could be as heavy,
no imprisonment could be as enduring.

Edward Atkinson and his crowd are
trying to hide behind the Senate docu-

able utterances. They imply that be-

or permitted to go in the Record they

ton. Some Of the rankest treason ever
heard in this country has been uttered
on the floor of Congress. That was SO

THE DREAM.

A little room in a little hotel
In a little country town
On a little bed with a musty smell.
"A man was lying down.
A great big man with a great big snore-
AS he lay on his back, you see
And a peaceful look upon his face he
wore,
For sound asleep was he. '
In his dream what marvellous trips he
made,
What tremendous bills he old
And nobody failed and every one paid,
And his orders were as good as gold.
He smiled and smothered a scornful laugh
When his fellow-drummer bowed;
For he knew no other had sold the half
OF what his order book showed.
He got this letter from home one day:
Dear Sir-We've no filter term
To use in your case than simply to say,
Henceforth you are one of the firm"
And a glorious change thus made in his
life,
He now from the road withdrew,
And really soon got to know his wife,
His son inc his daughter, too.
And then he moved from his obscure fiat
To a house on the avenue;
Lived swell, was happy, got healthy and
fat,
Respected and wealthy, too.
But with a thump, bang, whang! thump
again,
The landlord stood at the door.

And the drummer's dream was DER.

HIS FAD WAS CLEAN MONEY.

Every man must have his fad, and one
of a very unusual character developed a
day or SO ago in the possession of a guest
from the west of an uptown hotel, says the
Washington Star. He was a nice-looking
man of so or more, and evidently had
money, for he handled himself like a man
habituated to the use of the best there
was going. 1t is not unusual to see new
money in Washington, but this particular
man had so much that was new and none
that was old that the clerk at the hotel
spoke to him of it.
"Well," laughed the gentleman. Il admit
that l do have considerable new money
with me. It's a fad of mine, don't you
know. Twenty years ago I had a friend
who died of smallpox, contracted from the
money he received from the man who I'M

BOILING is THE POTATO TEST.

The following facts about the ordinary
potato are credited by the Pharmaceutical
Era to a paper read by NJ. Balland, a
French chemist, before the Paris Academy
of Science. 1t says: Aside from the skin,
which only represents a small fraction Of
the total weight, the potato consists Of
three layers. well distinguishab1e with the
naked eye If a thin slice is held against
the light. Still more distinctly these three
layers become visible is photographed with
the ROentgen rays. The strata are of diff
ferent thicknesses, which decrease toward
the interior. The outermost layer contains
comparatively the most starch, but less
heterogeneous substances, with the innermost
layer the proportion is just the reverse.
The middle layer has a mean composition
between the two others. The skin layer is
the dryest. while the inside marrow con-
tainS considerably more water. On an av-
erage a potato contains th~ree-quarters of
it's weight in water, two-tenths of starch
and 1one-f1ftieth of heterogeneous matters.
BaIland has discovered the important fact
hat the food value of the potato is so.
much greater the more ~nitrogenous SUBJ
stances it contains, and so much smaller
the richer 1t is in starch. In the best table;
potatoes the proportion between nitro
matters and starch attains three
times as high a value as with the food po-
tatoes Of the lowest quality. Hence the
chemical analysis; but it so happens that
the food value of different varieties of po-
tatoes can be judged according to their be-
havior when boiled. We all know that some
potatoes swell up in hot water. tracking
in certain places and even breaking apart,
while others retain their original shape,
even when we'll done. It was supposed,
formerly, that the cracking or breaking
apart of potatoes was indicative of an es-
pecially large percentage of starch. the
starch swelling up and breaking the skin.
According to the latest Investigations
this is erroneous, the percentage of albu-
men being responsible. If a potato is COM
paratively rich in This substance 1T will
keep it's shape in boiling; a cracking and
falling apart indicates a deficiency of albu-
men. The potatoes containing most albu-
men being the most nutritious, everybody
can determine the worth of a potato by
boiling it. The best varieties are those
which do not fall apart, but remain whole,
on cooking.

LORD MANSFIELD'S BADGE GIVEN
UP.

London News: A brief statement in
yesterdays Court Circular" that the
earl of Manchester had had an audience
with her majesty at Windsor castle to
deliver UP the badge of the Order Of the
Ihlstle worn by his grandfather is not
without interest. The late earl held the
distinction of Knight of the Thistle Ion
ger probably than any other man. 1t
was conferred upon him as far back as
1913 by Sir Robert Peel, and had there
fore been his for a period of fifty-ive
years. Now the senior Knight of the
Thistle is the duke of Argyll, who re-
celved the honor at the instance of
Palmerston IN 1856. The duke is a
knlght Of the Garter as we'll, but tina
double distinction is also enjoyed by the
earl of Roseberry. Lord Mansfeld's
badge of the Order of the Thistle has al
ready been given to Lord Tweeddale.

SENATORIAL

Investigation into the senatorial situa-
ton in Helena leaves the outcome en-
veloped in a thick winter coating of
doubt. 1t is getting a little too hot for
things to crystalline until pyrotechnic
icicles become a possibility. 1t is under
stood in the Hobbies that the DAILY wing
OF the democratic party polled it's full
strength in the election of Stiff for speak
er in the legislative caucus. This wing
claims a strength of five votes in he
senate, which would make a total ofg5-
the exact strength accredited to it since
election by the Inter Mountain. Its vote
in the senate, however. may be reduced
to three. two Of The votes in that .bqdy
claimed by it being a little shaky. unless
the temperature is exactly to their liking.
Thus as matters now stand, this wing
of the party lacks two. and possibly four
votes, of having enough to control. I'm
der the circumstances it is not unlikely
that it will be forced to give up it's tower
ing ambition to name the senator, and
content itself with an effort to defeat the
Clark wing. To do this it will probably
hold itself in readiness to swing to any
0~n vvHoco 10~J;Ioa ,s,,0, AZ n~ooA~c
promise as against that of Mr.. Clark.
Whether Mr.. Conrad will inherit, this
strength is al open question. The selec-
ton of an east-side senator would, of
course aid the DAILY men in their fight
against Senator Carter two years hence,
for geographical reasons but at the same
time it would leave Mr.. Clark in a posi-
ton to renew his candidacy at that time
with still greater vigor.
Naturally, then, it would seem hat the
Daily men, in default of the ability to
name a mar for senator and force his
election, would endeavor to get Conrad off
the track and concentrate ell the anti
Clark strength upon some available
westsider, in this way defeating Clark and
preventing his candidacy two years
But the ambition to defeat Clark
is almost equal1ed by the desire te4de-
feat Carter two years hence. So the sit
is poisoning into a number of
lurid possibilities. r. %st
Whether Clark can be defeated re-
mains to be seen. for he is making the
fight of his life under circumstances made
more favorable thar heretofore by a
large democratic majority on joint ballot.
the tone of the Anaconda Standard,
to the charges of bribery, it is
clear that the wing of the party which it
represents now sees that a mistake was
made in Clark's favor when a democratic
legislature was elected. However, it is
too early to measure the pull of any can
didate, and surprises may be in store for
the public.

SAILORS TAUGHT TO SING.

One of the most curious institutions con-
nected with the British navy is the office Of
inspector of singing" On all training
ships the boys are instructed in singing by
a tutor, who receives about $50 a year for
the service. On each of the ships there is
a tonic sol ia class, where the boys are
taught to sing patriotic airs. This ability
to sing stirring music has a very enlivening
an inspiring influence upon the crews, and
might, in some cases, considerably brighten
an enemy.

Many people of Ell Paso are prepar-

though that the number this season
will be at least double what it was last

Sacramento mountains are now attract
ing attention as a summer resort, and
many are building log cabins as prefer
able to tents; there is plenty of timber
and good substantial buildings can be
erected at very low cost. In some sec

keys, deer and other game being found
in abundance. Judge Black, during his
recent stay in the city, reported that
the soil was admirably adapted for
raising potatoes and other varieties OF
