STRIKING STATIsTICe.

A Chicago man interested on the
subject of trusts has collected some very
interesting statistics, ani the News
and Courier furnishes the substance Of
them. A very striking presentment
OF ths statistics is made ss follows:
The Chicago man wears shirts made
by a s1oo,oo0,0aO trust, underwear
made by = sso,ooe,0Oo trust, shoes by
a Sl25 900, 900 trust, collars by 40
S3,000,Oo0 trust, socks by $50, ,00e,-
900 trust, and the thre ad used in max
ing bis clothes is made by Ss0,O00,-
90 trust. The cat meal that he eats
is controlled in the markets By a
$s,400,000 trust. aad the sugar that be
spreads ovsr his oat meal is in he
hands o: $40,000,e00 trust, snd the
milk he uses is controlled by $10,-
100000 trust, crackers by $55, ,OOO,-
600 trust, and the cost Of his -four
bread is fixed by aS150,o00, 900 trust.
The spoon with which be eats his meal
is made by q $4,000, 900 trust. The
Lumbar in his house is put on the mar
ket by a $2O,o0o,O0 trust, bricks by
an Ss,oOO,OO trnst, and the paper or
the wsl:s of bis house is made by
S50,0Oo,00e trust. The 5sdstsad on
which he sleeps is made by S12,o00,-
900 trust, and the carpet on his aoor is
made by $l0,ooo,O0o trust, his
watches by q S20,oOo,000 trust. The
paper on which he writes to his local
paper a statement Of these things is
made by 3 s4O,0oO,oOC trust. He
closes his statement by saying that,
when be dies, no expects to be buried
in q coffin made by an Sl8,OO0,oN
trust, and to have his grave marked
by q headstone mads by S2Q,0O0,GoO
trust.
Surely the country is in the hands OF
the trusts. The list given above is
only a few, but it illustrates how rap
idly the power OF trusts is growing at
the expense of the individual citizen
About the only thing that has not fal-
len into the hand1 Of the trust IS the
atmosphere. Their power is alarm
ing, and the fight against them cannot
begin too soon.

Political Gossip.

The only thing new this week out
side of the conference held between the
boss and his subordinates is the scare
the trustee has got onto himself. The
mutual dislike and consequent distrust
existing between him and the corner is
bearing it's natural fruit-suspicion
He has discovered that it is probable
that a rival will be sprung on him,
probably Alec Montgomery, and SO
he don't sleep well nights.
The official announcement made by
the u. o. organ last week that Ader-
hold would he the republican nominee
for clerk was made as notice to the
fellows Who are disposed TO resent the
dominion of the boss that no trespass-
ing on that preserve would be allowed.
The Mercury named pretty good
ticket for us last week and the prOba-
bilities are that. IN some instances
they hit close enough for the victim to
feel the wind OF the stick.

1T WAS so EASY.


That He Might Have Ridden All the
Way Up.
Pittsburg News: Though elevators
are not new, they are new to whole
lot Of persons. An old fellow from
somewhere is the client of a lawyer
who recently removed his office from
the first floor of an old building In
Grant street to the thirteenth floor OF
a modern Office building. The old fel-
low came in to see him. and after
much trouble found the building. His
legs were stiif and his wind was short.
but he started up the stairs. By the
time he reached the fourth floor he
declared that he would take his busi-
ness out of the hands of the man who
was so unreasonable as to live so high.
He took long rest at the fifth, moor
and would have turned back II II
wasn't that he wanted to pay OIL his
lawyer that very day and retain one
with an Office OF the ground floor. AT
the seventh floor he gave 1t up. He
couldn't go any higher. He sat on
the steps and watched the elevators
going UP and down and noticed that
they were we'll filled. l.- reasoned that
since scarcely any Pc S''n used the
stairway the fare on tle elevators
could not be high. and he could hard
ly be accused of extravaganza II he
rode the rest of the way, since there
would be no necessity for him to come
to the building again. So he hailed
one OF them. "How muchIl you
charge to take me to the thirteenth
floor?"s he asked the young man who
seemed to be in charge. Get in here!'
ordered the young fellow. as he seized
him by the coat. pulled him into the
car and started up. Il can't stand
there answerin' fool questions all day.
Thirteen. Out you go! Move lively.
nowr How much?" asked the old
chap. untying the shoe string that
held his wallet. But the door was
slammed in his face and the car dis
appeared. "Thunderationr' exclaimed
the old fellow. IF I'd a known that
might stole rice all the way up!
His lawyer explained the matter to
him. and while the old man thought
1t was mighty handy. he said it looked
good deal like imposing on people
to be riding up and down free all OF
the time

Grasshoppers! What?

While the 'hOppers have not wrought
the total destruction to crops this year
that many predicted they would, yet it
cannot be denied that the temporary
and permanent damage done by them
in this county this year is almost be-
yond computation. And worse still.
they are evidently on the increase year
by year. and unless something is done
to check their increase and ravages,
the time is not far distant in the future
when they will intiict irreparanle loss
upon the farmers, and through them
on every one in the county. There can
be no doubt that simple. cheap ma
chimes can be made and operated for
their destruction.
Why should not the county commits
sioners offer, under proper safeguards,
bounty of fifty cents or one dollar
per bushel on these pests, as an in
ducement for their destruction? Ifthis
cannot be done as the law now stands,
then let the legislature be called in
extra session. if need be, to provide
for this emergency. Suppose every
township send in their petitions to the
commissi oners to act in this regard
unless some better plan can be sug-
gested.
Let us hear from the farmers.

BLINDNESS IN SPAIN.
Experts Declare 1t to Be Due to Lack
of Foresight.

Experts Declare 1t to BE Due TO Lack
of Foresight.
The large proportion Of blind people
in Spain has attracted attention since
the beginning of the present century.
The subject is again brought up by an
article of Privy Councillor Hirschberg.
in the German Medical Weekly, giving
the results of his recent observation
in Spain, where he attended the Hy-
gienic Congress. He says the streets
Of Madrid swarm with blind beggars;
the further south he went the more
blind he met. The proportion in Spain
as given in the census Of 1860 is Il TO
10000, against s to 9 in Germany,
France and England. but that figure IS
considered undoubtedly false by coati-
mental authorities More recent figures
give las The chief cause of blindness
in Spain are Inflammation of the eyes
of infants, granulation and smallpox.
The widespread fatalistic attitude OF
the sick, the lack Of governmental
oversight, and the small attention paid
to disease of the eye operate to in
crease the number of blind in Spain.
There is not a single public eye hos
pital in Spain, according to Dr.
Hirschberg. only wards in general hos
pitals and private institutions.

The daily press seports that the
South American republics view the
imperialistic policy of this govern
ment with alarm and are forming an
offensive and defensive alliance SO
that they will be able to resist "be
nevolent assimilation" when the time
comes. This is nice state of affairs
to confront a nation which has been
supposed to stand for human liberties
and the Monroe doctrine, and it has
been brought about by the attitude OF
the administration towards the Filipi-
nos. The government of this country
has always been supposed to stand
for free local self government, but
under a republican administration
we are made to appear as advocating
oppression, coercion, subjug alton and
Imperialism.

Through the Rockies by Rail.
DENVER. Colorado.


DENVER, Colorado.
Warm weather is not very conducive
to descriptive letter writing. but per-
haps the story of midsummer jour
ney over the range may seem cool at
least.
The train leaves Manitou below, as
it crosses on an immense iron bridge
then puffs along, hugging the noun
tain sides, crawling out on lodges.
then suddenly disappearing in a tun
mel to emerge few feet higher. No
stop except few minutes at small
stations, only to start :on with fresh
impetus, ever upward, higher and
higher.
Wefollow a foaming. dashing stream
until we reach the hundreds of acres
of South Parks comparatively level
land and are told the little torrent is
the Platte river. and that its head
waters lie in the green grassy pools OF
the South Park. A few hours ride
and we find we are following the mighty
"A
trasts the yellow, turbid, dashing tor
rent with the peaceful Arkansas in
Kansas, shining on its glittering sands,
or with the broad, deep stream carry
ing great steamboats, on its deep,
smooth waters as it. pours into the
Mississippi.
We follow it where it has cut its way
through mountain gorges and where
it seems to be river and rail and rail
and river-so narrow for the natural
and artificial.
Leadville, the Cloud City, 10. 200 feet
above sea level, is left be hind, and at
last we see the eternal SHOWS lying on
either side of the track. In widest
glen, fed by the melting of the SHOWS
and by springs and limpid pools, we
see the head waters of the Arkansas.
1t seems wonderful in one day to
follow two broad rivers to their source.
Two such useful and noted streams as
the Platte and Arkansas, rising in
such tiny streams! You feel that surely
one should not "despise the day of
small things
Near Hagerman Pass the train goes
through the noted Bnsk tunnel, two
miles long and nearly II 900 feet above
the sea. The five minutes spent in the
tunnel seem like an hour before We
rush out and start on the journey
down the western slope of the Rockies.
The train turns and doubles and sways
as it rushes downward. going over
1900 feet downward in ten miles. The
scenery is beyond description. Great
sandstone. while perhaps on the other
side of the river the rocks are more
broken and crumbled, and furnish a
resting place for scrubby pines and
gnarled and twisted cedars.
We reach the Grand river at Glen
| wood Springs, rightly named as it is
one of the main feeders of the Colo
radO river. that has it's worldwide.
known Grand canon. The train seems
to meve more slowly, as if the engines
we're taking breath, and it gives you a
chance to see the little orchards in the
cup-like valleys to the right and left.
