Got Into the wrong state.

In the last senatorial campaign in Ken
lucky the opposing candidates in one of
the Southern districts. DIR. Harrel and Mr..
Clark, who were conducting a joint de-
bate, had an amusing experience. When
they went to Keysburg to fill their ap-
pointment to speak they found nobody at
all to hear them. Everybody had gone
10 Red river to fish. The candidates fol-
lowed the way the people had gone. and
when they came TO the river found quite
an assemblage on the opposite bank. Har-
rel mounted a stump and began TO ao-
dress them at long range, but soon found
that his voice would not hold up at that
distance, SO he requested them to wade
out into the river and draw nearer. In
stead of doing this, they sent a skiff and
ferried the candidates over, and then sat
patiently down and listened to the
speeches. When the speaking was over
the candidates were informed that they
had been speaking in Tennessee.

TRUST PROMOTERS.

Accompanying the trust craze, and each
being in a degree responsible for the 9TH
er. IS an army of trust promoters. In an
article in the American Monthly Review
of Reviews on trusts the statement is
made that there are more men engaged
at present in forming or trying 70 form
trusts in various Industries than there
are prospectors in the gold fields OF the
West The number Of promoters is esi-
mated at several thousand. Their busi-
ness, comparatively a new one IS already
overcrowded. The men in some instances
are almost treading upon each others
heels in running around TO see manufac-
turers TO get them to come in" Sew
eral sets OF them are often at work upon
the same scheme. Three sets have lately
been preaching the benefits Of consoldl-
ton to the piano manufacturer, and once
it seemed that a piano trust would be
formed.
All of these trust promoters do not meet
with success. Only very small number
of them do. But those that do make 4
strike strike it rich; and all who are in
the business hope sooner or later to have
success crown their efforts and thus with
in few weeks or months win a princely
fortune The majority of the promoters,
probably, are lawyers who are gifted
with fiuency of speech and considerable
degree of reasoning power, and to their
activity and seductive promises are at
tributed large part of the craze for
trusts.
While the great majority of the pro-
moters fail of their schemes, a limited
number of them quickly become million
aires. During the last eight months it is
said probably twelve men have each won
81 100000 or more by organizing trusts
and this dozen of promoters are said 20
have made money enough to buy ali of
" successful promoter is thought to have
received between 100000 and $4,000 600
in stock for his work in organizing trusts.
Out of this sum, however, he had to pay
all of the expenses incidental 10 the con-
solidation. The promoters of the Republic
Iron and Steel Company are said to have
received 100000 of common stock for
their services. while the promoter Of the
lin plate trust received $4,000. 900 of stock.
The article in the Review names several
instances of similar large winnings by
promoters who, without the investment of
a dollar Of actual capital, have taken pro-
fits in fabulous sums.
How long the activity in trust-making
will be continued cannot of course, be
foretod with certainty, but we shall un-
doubtedly have a new crop Of American
millionaires as one consequence of that
activity, be II long or short. And we shall
probably have also a larger crop of mil
lionares from among the mauipulators OF
the trusts after they have been formed.
Whether the Aladdin-like creation of
these new millionaires VIII produce re-
heX action upon the fortunes of the
masses remains to be seen.

OUR NEED FOR FOREIGN MAR
KETS.

In speech before the Trans Mississippi
congress at Wichita. Mr.. F. B. Thurber
of New York the other day drew special
attention TO the vast resources of the
United States, the wonderful progress
that has been made in the states in man
ufacturlng, the growth of the number OF
manufacturing establishments and the
value of their annual output, and the fact
that while our home market is the best
in the world il is limited in absorbing ca
pscity Our industrial growth, he says,
is outstripping our ability to consume
therefore, I'VE must have a chance to
dump our surplus, which otherwise will
constantly depress prices and compel the
shutting down of our mills and throwing
our labor out of employment" Outside
of our own country, there are one billion
three hundred and seventy millions of CON
sumers on the globe. We must go after
their trade, said Mr.. Thurber, and get il
we can do 1t, and we should do it, Mr.
Thurber does not believe in imperialism.
but he does believe in "a policy of ex-
pansion which will give us control of some
markets which viii be a stepping stone
TO others in a wider zone of influence.
which such control will enable us TO exer-
else" He refers, of course, to our pres
ence in the Philippines, and the advantage
which these islands will give us in Asia,
particularly with reference to Chlna's
trade.
What China's trade means to the people
of the South was brought out forclbly the
other day in a speech by ex-Minister Bar
rett before the New York Chamber of
Commerce 1.-The most popular manufac
tured cotton products in China to-day"
he said ARE those which come from
Southern mills. The demand for this line
of goods is already great but the best
judges of Asiatic trade say that there is
no reason why it should not reach scores
of millions. The Southern states
should during the next fifteen years do
business of $25,OOO,OOO per annum in cot
ton, if the markets of China are not closed
against them"
1t should. then. be the policy of this
government to do whatever it consistently
"open door in China The best course to
be pursued cannot of course be deter
mined at once, because of the rather un-
certain condition of affairs in the Far
East. Much depends upon the develop
ment Of the policies Of Russia, Germany
and England in China.
While we are not prepared TO give adj
herence TO any proposition to control
trade by establishing a permanent politi-
cal foothold in Asia, and possibly joining
with the Powers of Europe in a raid upon
Chinese territory, we are aware of the
need of extended foreign markets for our
manufacturers, and of the great advant-
ages which would accrue to the cotton
planters and manufacturers of the South
ern states from enlarged and unrestricted
trade with China.

One day man, carrying fuzzy little
poodle dog under one arm, entered the
office of Philip D. Armour in Chicago,
and tried to talk him into buying it. The
price was exorbitant, 800 for a useless toy
poodle. Mr.. Armour looked at the man,
then at the dog and back again at the
man and said: mo. The sausage bust

confident young men, who believe that
all wealthy men have a tender spot for

to approach even the busiest men, made
Mr.. Armour decidedly bold request.

Next to Plat, Quay is the boss most dis

of the states delegation to some candidate
whose friends in the Senate would in re-

ed upon the appointment of the Governor.
Moreover, Quay, like Plat, wanted a

under obligation to the bosses, and who
could be depended upon to recognize that
obligation whenever they should put on
