HARRISON'S AMBITION.
Not Candidate For President Now
But Four Years Hence It May
Be Different

Madison, Ind, May 22.-Mayor Carter
II. Harrison of Chicago wants to go to
congress. This ambition he has con-
fided to a hundred or more Democratic
editors of Indiana who assembled here
to confer on the policy of the party. In
conversations with them Mr.. Harrison
said plainly he would not accept the
nomination for president next year if
it should be offered to him, as the stu
alton now is SO favorable to the re-
election of Mckinley there will be less
chance for a Democrat to win than
there was three years ago. Four years
later it might be different. For the
same reason he said, he did not want
the nomination for governor of Illinois,
though he thought he could go in
against Tanner in an off year and skin
him
Mr.. Harrison declared that free sill
yer would not be side tracked.
In my judgment, the fight of 1900"
he said, will be fought on the Chicago
platform, and with Bryan as the candi-
date
To all propositions that he might
himself receive the nomination for
president, Mr.. Harrison persistently
declared he did not want it.
1t is different, however, with a con-
gressional nomination. The mayor
thinks the field there is a better one
for a man of his age.
Il probably could not carry my dis
trict in a national election he added,
but 1 believe 1 could carry it without
any difficulty in an off year. The nom
ination was offered me in 1896, but
declined it. Long before then / had
made up my mind l wanted to be mayor
of Chicago some time. 1 did not know
when it would come, but expected to
get the nomination within the next ten
years"
In an address to the editors Mayor
Harrison declared that so far as he
was personally concerned the Chicago
platform in its entirety should be re-
adopted for the fight of 1900. But he
thought the great fight for the Demo-
Gratis to make would be a fight against
the trusts. He said:
so far as 1 am personally concerned
the next national convention can do no
better thing than to reaffirm the Chi
cago platform as it stands. with such
additions as the eexigencies of the times
will demand" 'h

AFTER NAT BARNES.
Joe Bristow Coming West to Make
Some Investigations.

J. l. Bristow, fourth assistant post
master general, is expected to arrive
this week from Washington for the pur-
pose of investigating some complaints
charging presidential postmasters with
dereliction in their official duties
1t is claimed that some of these ap-
pointees do not conform to the law
which requires that they shall spend
all the time set apart for office hours
within the office. Some of the Kansas
office holders, it is claimed, devote most
of their time to personal business af-
fairs, a fact which, if proven, consti-
tutes sufficient cause for removal It
is reported in Topeka that Nat Barnes
postmaster at Kansas City, Kan. is
one of the men Bristow will call upon
and investigate"

TAX THEM TO DEATH.
State Treasurer Grimes Plan to Kill
Trusts

State Treasurer F. E Grimes says he
is strongly opposed to the combinations
and trusts which are now making such
progress toward general organization in
this country. Speaking of this subject
today Mr.. Grimes said to a Journal
reporter:
4 am glad to see the press of this
state giving the matter of the trusts
a thorough discussion I don't profess
to know much of the trusts methods,
but I don't like the results. There is
maxim in business which is as old as
the hills that competition is the life of
trade. but the organization of trusts
eliminates competition
Heretofore our young men have
been advised in planning their life work
to follow their bent of character. This
leads the vast majority of them into
business and commercial pursuits, and
this is as it should be. But who can
say that a trust will not be formed and
wreck their enterprises and crowd them
out of business
me that the whole legal machinery of
the country has always been against
such com bination as operate toward
restraint of trade. but that the people
are slow to invoke its assistance.
The pa perS are full of comments on
the trusts, but little is offered in the
way of a remedy. How would it do,
If it is considered best to rid ourselves
of the trusts entirely, to tax them out
of existence? That was the plan of
the Republican party years ago in rid
ding the country of wildcat money. 1t
simply put a 10 per cent tax on the
issue of state banks. and that settled
the matter There was a great roar
about the suppression of the wildcats,
and no doubt the trusts would make a
howl. but the government is the biggest
thing in this country, and the trusts
will have to Succumb."

POMPADOUR SAVED HER.
Girl Knocked Over by Cyclist Strikes
Her Head on a Curb Stone
But Is Uninjured

Cincinnati. o.. May 22.-Whether or
not the pompadour is a beautiful style
of hairdressing, it has been demon
strated that it possesses practical fea-
lures, for one probably saved a young
lady's life at Spring Grove avenue and

Furrill street, Cumminsville. had lust
alighted from a car at this corner when
she was knocked down by a bfcycIist
She was thrown head first against the

The doctor who was called to her aid
said that beyond a doubt the pompa-
dour saved her from fracture of the
skull.
