The Methodist Preachers Meeting
was held on Cedar Island Thursday,
July 9th. The families of the preach
ers were in company. There were
about twenty five in the party.
Rev. G.. E. B. Smith, of Wacha-
prague, was the host, and right
royalty did he act his part. Every
thing that could be done for the
enjoyment and comfort of the party
was done by Smith. The vessel that
carried the party to the Island was
in charge of that capable and courte-
GUS Capt. Savage.
The sail out from Wachapreague
was delightful. A good breeze and
skillful management brought the
party to the Island in short time.
Once landed, the members of the
party set themselves to having good
time, and it is safe to say, there was
general enjoyment all through the
day.
The preachers were only permitted
to hold short meeting, at which
resolutions of thanks were passed
for Mr.. Smith for his efforts to make
the occasion one of great pleasure to
every member of the party.
The return trip in the afternoon
was marred, as to pleasure. by rain.
Every member of the party received
drenching Nevertheless the day
as whole was one OF great pleasure
and will be remembered for long
time to come.

prevent the enactment of the ;egisla- tion you suggest"
 There is much danger Of is,' was Senator Chandler's positive response, as he walked tc and fro in his room. .aTrusts cannot be destroyed unless the people are in earnest and elect Iegislators who will not betray them. In New Hampshire, in 1896, both Po- liticaI parties passed strong resolu- ticns. declaring in favor of legislation to prohibit the issuance of free rail- read passes. When the legislature met, when every man in it was pledged to abolish free railroad passes, the bill to carry out this pledge received 9 votes against 292 in favor of pos5r0ning the subject until a constitutional conven- 4fcn should be called. If tks people will tolerate tfe betrayal by the po- litical parties of their announced prin- ciples, state legislatures cannot be re- lied upon. and the trusts may not be destroyed. But there is reason to be- Ieve," added Senator Chandler, that the people in 1900 Will be sufficiently in earnest to enforce their wishes
 ''Nln the trusts become powerful enough to influence any gre-a mass Of individual voters?"
 ''They might, if any political party dared to advocate trusts, but with both political parties denouncing trusts, what can the eaDit2lis,os establishing trusts do in politics? It is mt a question which party wins: 1t is question whether legislators will be true to the principles of their parry platforms. It will be charged by the democrats that the republicans are not sincere in their denunciation of trusts, but I do not know that there is any more reason to fear that the ra- publicans will be false to their pledges than that the democrats will. Prasa- dent Mckinley has never yet been false t3 any part of the platform of 1896, or lacking in courage to conform his administration to it's declarations.
 Trusts" said the senator. in con clusion, will not be a political issue. because both parties will denounce them It will remain for the voters to decide which party is most likely to act with sincerity after it's candidates have been elected.

The old story Of the subs.dance of the shores of the southwestern DOT ton of the chain Of great lakes has been revived, and this time with a show of real evidence.
