THE TRUST PROBLEM.
President Mckinley Reviews the Differ
ent Laws Passed.

Combinations of capital organized In
to trusts to control the conditions of
trade among our citizens, to stifie COM
petition, limit production and deter
mine the prices of products consumed
by the people are provoking public dis
cussion and should early claim the at
tention of congress.
The industrial commission, created by
the act of the congress of June is, 1895
has been engaged in extensive hearings
upon the disputed questions involved in
the subject of combination in restraint
of trade and competition. They have
not yet completed their investigation
of this subject and the conclusions and
recommendations at which they may
arrive are undetermined.
The subject is one giving rise to many
divergent views as to the nature ana
variety or cause and extent of the in
iuries to the public which may arise
from large combinations concentrating
more or less numerous enterprises and
establishments which previous to the
formation of the combination We're car
ried on separately.
Il is universally conceded that COM

rate of interest lower than that fixed
by the act of January ID, 1875. While
there is now no commercial fright
which withdraws gold from the govern
ment, but on the contrary such wide
spread confidence that gold seeks The

exchange, yet the very situation points

the continuance of the gold standard
and of public confidence in the ability
and purpose of the government to meet
all it's obligations in money which the
civilized world recognizes as the best.
The financial transactions of the gov
ernment are conducted upon a gold
basis. We receive gold where we sell
United States bonds and use gold for
their payment We are maintaining
the parity of all the money issued or
coined by authority of the government
We are doing these things with the
means at hand. Happily at the present
time we are not compelled to resort TO
loans to supply gold. 1t has been done
in the past, however and may have to
be done in the future. 1t behooNes us,
therefore. to provide at once the best
means to meet the emergency when it
arises, and the best means are those
which are the most certain and ecOno-
mical. Those now authorized have the
virtue neither Of Girectness or economy.
We have already eliminated one OF the
causes of our financial plight and en-
harrassment uring the years 1898. 1894,
1895 and 1896. Our receipts now equal
our expenditures. deficient revenues no
longer create alarm. Let us remove the
only remaining cause by comforting the

tary of the treasury and impose upon
him the duty to uphold the present
gold standard and preserve the coins

clared policy Of the United States.
In this connection I repeat my former
recommendations that a portion of the
gold holdings shall he placed in a trust
fund from which greenbacks shall be
redeemed upon presentation, but when
once redeemed shall not thereafter be
paid out except for gold.

THE MERCHANT MARINE.
Congress Is Urged to Pass IL Shipping
subsidy Bill.


The value of an American merchant
marine to the extension of our COM
mercial trade and the Strengthening of
our power upon the sea invites the i'm
mediate action of congress- Our ma
tional development will be one-sided
and unsatisfactory SO long as the re-
markable growth of our inland indus
tries remains unaccompanied by prog
ress on the sea. There is no lack of
constitutional authority for legislation
which shall give to the country mari
time strength commensurate with it's
industrial achievements and with its
rank among nations of the earth.
The past year has recorded excep-
tsonal activity in our shipyards and the
promises of continual prosperity i'll
shipbuilding are abundant. Advanced
legislation for the protection of our
seamen has been enacted. Our coast
trade, under regula tons wisely framed
at the beginning of the government and
since. shows results for the past fiscal
year unequaled in our records or those
of any other power. We shall fail to
realize our opportunities however. if
we complacently regard our matters at
home and blind ourselves TO the neces-
sity of securing our share in the valu-
able carrying trade of the world.
Last year American vessels trans
ported smaller share of our exports
and imports than during any former
year in all our history. and the measure
of our dependence upon foreign ship
ping was painfully manifest to our peo-
pie. Without any choice of our own.
but from necessity, the departments of
the government charged with military
and naval operations in the East and
West Indies had to obtain from foreign
flags merchant vessels essential for
these operations.
The other great nations have not hes
itated to adopt the required means TO
develop their shipping as factor in
national defense and as one of the sur
est and speediest means of obtaining
for their producers share in foreign
markets. Like vigilance and effort OF,
our part cannot fail to improve oul
situation, which is regarded with hui
initiation at home and with surprise
abroad Even the seeming sacrifices
which at the beginning may be in
volved will be offset later by more than
equivalent gains.
The expense is as nothing compared
to the advantage to be achieved. The
re-esta plishment of our merchant ma
rine involves in a large measure our
continued industrial progress anC
the extension of our commerce. l am
satisfied the judgment of the country
favors the policy of aid to our mer-
chant marine. which will broaden oul
commerce and upbuild our sea- carryine
capacity for the products of agrieul-
ture and manufacture, and which
with the increase Of our navy, mean
more work and more wages to our
countrymen, as we'll as a safeguard tc
American interests in every part of the

Great Lesson.
The death of President Faure in Feb
ruary last called forth those sincere eX
pressions Of sympathy which befit the
relations of two republics as closely al
lied by unbroken historic ties as are
the United States and France.
Preparations for the representation of
the industries, arts and products of the
United States at the worlds exposition,
to be held in Paris next year, continue
on an elaborate and comprehensive
scale, thanks to the generous appropria-
ton provided by congress and to the
friendly interest the French govern
ment has shown in furthering a typical
exhibit of American progress.
There has been allotted to the United
States a considerable addition of space,
which, while placing our country in the
first rank among exhibitors, does not
suffice to meet the increasingly urgent
demands of our merits. The efforts of
the commissioner general are ably di-
ricted toward a strictly representative
display Of all that most characteristic

LYNCHiNG OF ITALIANS.
A Serious Defect in the Scope OF
Federal Laws.

Federal Laws.
For the fourth time in the present
decade the question has arisen with the
government of Italy in regard to lynch
ing of Italian subjects. The latest of
these deplorable events occurred 1t
Tallulah La, whereby five unfortun-
ates of Italian origin were taken from
Jail and hanged.
The authorities of the state and
representative of the Italian embassy
having separately investigated the oc-
currences with discrepant results, par
ticularly as to the alleged citizenship of
the victims and it not appearing that
the state had been able to discover and
punish the yiolators of the law an in
dependent investigation has been set
on foot through the agency of the de-
partment of state and is still in prog
ress. The result will enable the eXecu-
tive to treat the question with the gov
eminent of Italy in a spirit of fairness
and justice. A satisfactory solution will
doubtless be reached. The recurrence
of these distressing manifestations of
blind mob fury directed at dependents
or natives of foreign country sug-
gests that the contingency has arisen
for action by congress in the direction
of comforting upon the federal courts
jurisdiction in this class of International
cases, where the responsibility of the
federal government may be involved.
The suggestion is not new. In his an
nual message of Dec. 8, 1891, my prede-
cessor, President Harrison, said:
1T would l believe, be entirely conf
petent for congress to make offenses
against the treaty rights of foreigners
domiciled in the United States cogniz-
able in the federal courts. This has not,
however. been done, and the federal Of
ficers and courts have no powers In
such cases to intervene either for the
protection of a foreign citizen or for
the punishment of his slayers. 1t seems
to me to follow, in this state of the law,
that the officers of the state charged
with police and judicial powers in such
cases must, in the consideration of in
ternational questions growing out OF
such incidents, be regarded in such
sense as federal agents, as to make
this government answerable for their
action in cases where it would be an
swerable if the United States had used
its constitutional power to define and
punish crimes against treaty rights"

of violations of treaty rights of aliens

Not content with the discovery ot the microbe alone, Doctor Fahrig went Further and discovered a means of de- stroying it.

 The preventive Of falling hair, bald ness and gray hair, that does prevent.
 The only safe and scientific cure for all hair diseases and disorders.
 Successful because it destroys the microbe and nourishes the hair back to health

 Cranitonic Hair Food is not a dye. It is not greasy or sticky, has no dis agreeable or dangerous sediment, and does not stain the clothing
 It is pure, clean, harmless, refresh ing and invigorating; makes the hair luXuriant and lustTous, and restores it's health when everything else has failed.

THE GoULDs AND THE KAISER.
Emperor William Visited the Yacht

MT. and Mrs Howard Gould, who sailed on the Niagara for New York on the 7th inst, from Southampton, had the honor of an interview with the German emperor at Kie1, while on a yachting cruise Their entry into Kiel harbor came under the notice Of the emperor, who was much struck with the handsome proportions Of the v5s- sel, and sent on board an aide-de-camp to ascertain to whom the yacht be- longed and to obtain permission to look over the vessel. MT. and Mrs. Gould at once sent the necessary per mission and their respectful cOmpii- ments to the emperor. who promptly returned to the vessel with an aide and received a hearty welcome
 His majesty was taken over the yes sal. shown the beautiful fittings and he went into ecstacieS over the onyx settings which everywhere abound. He visited every part of the ship and was full of admiration fer everything ne saw He asked a number Of questions as to who was the designer Of the yacht and by whom it was fitted up so luxuriously. MT. Gould replied that Mrs. Gould had been allowed to exer-
 
 rangements, and that she had carte blanche in carrying out her fancies, the question of cost benig altogether a secondary consideration. Firnlly his majesty asked to be permitted t0 send his designer on board, which wish was readily granted. The emperor was courteous and friendly and expressed the great pleasure his visit had af- foGded him. Later the emperor's de signer visited the yacht and the inn pressiOn was created that his majesty was desirous. Of a yacht Of similar de- sign and dimensions.

HANDY WITH A SHOT GUN.
Though Ii Was the First Time He Had
 Ever Fired One.


 eve cften wondered" said a jolly looking man, Eff anybody ever got the credit Of being a good shCt as easily as I did. I was visiting at a house in i the country, and one day the host says: Let's go out and try the shooting. There were two CT three other guests there besidss myself. The host led the way into the hall, where there were
 standing three or four sh-t guns. He handed a gun to me, though really l
 didn't want it, supplied one or two others of the guests, who did shoot, with guns, and took the remaining gun himself, and we started out.
 Tt was delightful tramp, and a novel experience for me, going gun ming, for I lad never fired a shot gun in my life I enjoyed it all very much, but I sort of stroIlsd along in the rear, a little behind the rest, to give the others a chance at the game, with the hope hat would not be called upon to shOcit. I thought I should only make a ridiculous exhibition of my self; but, as it happened, I f1r5d the only shot fired that day, and it was a bullseye.
 Right in the center Of a field that we were crossing there was a big dead tree, sixty or seventy feet high, and on the topmcst branch of it sat a solitary pigeon. The quick eyed host, a keen sportsman himself, turning around to see if I were coming all right-he was walking just ahead with the others spisd that pigeon.
 6 There's a chance fer you he sad to me, enthusiastically, as he looked up at the bird, and I couldn'C do any less than make a bluff at it. I swung the old shCt gun up and fired, all in one movement, and dropped the bird just as neat as you please. The hest was delighted; it would have been a good fair shot for anybody to make, and he was especially pleased that it should have been made ny one Of his guests. The rest had turned in time to see the pigeon fall. I had protested that 1 was no shct and they all thought now that I was far too modest. And so by that single chance shot I get the reputation, at least for the moment, of being a very handy man with shot gun. - New York Sun.
