Col. Bryan has the true Democratic
idea of dealing with trusts. He would
handle the trust evil just as his party
has always been in favor of handling
the saloon evil by regulating it through
a license system instead of abOlishing
it. Trusts are either good or bad. IF
good they should be let alone, if bad
they should go. The Chicago conference,
was called for the purpose of ascer-
tanning their true character but in that
regard it seems to have proven a COM
plete failure. Everybody came away
with the same opinion he had when he
went there and the public is no wiser.

the bones in the process of life can be re-
placed with the lymph cells contained in the

The situation here has become most

servstive element still hopes for peaceful

hitherto characterized the negotiations.
Secretary Alger said that General Brooke
had not outlined TO him what his next
move would be. but he assumed that he
would issue a proclamation setting forth
the exact time and conditions under which
members of tho Cuban army would be al
loved TO share In the allotment, and that
these conditions would mean a prompt sur
render Of their arms.
The authorities here will wait for the
next move Of General Gomez and other
