Haveme,er on the Trusts.

Henry o. HRyeneyer, Of the sugar
trust, is giving some triumph to in
discreet democratic editors. He is
represented to have SAID that the
''true communism of pelf is the Gus
toms tariff BILL He has declared
that .sthe tariff Is the mother Of the
trusts All the trusts, he contends,
are creatures OF tariff legislation.
The democrats who intimate that
Haveneyer talks as an expert on this
trust business are correct. though in a
sense different from what they real-
ize The sugar trust was SLOWED by
the democrats 70 draw up the sugar
schedule of the Mills bill--the bill
which defeated the democracy in
1883. The trust framed the sugar
provisions of the Wilson Gorman act
of 1S94-the '.perfdy and dishonorn
tariff, TO use Cleveland's designation
for it, the tariff act which Cleveland
refused to sign, allowing it to he
come law by the expiration OF the
time limit Mills. Wilson, German
and the rest of the democratic lead
ers gave the sugar trust good many
fayors, which the trust it was under
stood reciprocatea by subscribing
handsomely to the democratic cam
paign fund in 1883, 1892 and 1895.
Havemeyer ought to feel kindly
toward the democratic party. I'm
doubtediy he does feel that way He
would be glad to give the democracy
lift at this time, but be is mistaken
in supposing that his sort of talk
will iniure the republican party. The
republican tariff is not the mother or
the father of trusts. The republican
tariff creates home competition, and
thus makes trusts difficnlt. Trusts
are as numerous in England as they
are in the United States, and Eng
land is supposed to be free trade
country Trusts are sure to arise
under all sorts of fiscal system,
though the democracy, in the instar-
ces mentioned, went it is true little
ont of their way to give fasors to the
sugar trust. Havemeyer is demo-
crat, and for very good reasons He
voted for Cleveland in 1883 and 1892
and for Bryan in 1896, because of
the aid which Cleveland's and Bry-
ans party gave him in allowing him
to fix up the sugar schedule of two
tariff bills to suit himself. In calling
attention, however, to what Have
meyer is saying now against the re
publican party the democrats are un.
wise. They revive the recollection
of the offensive and defensive alli-
ance between Hayemeyer's combine
and the democratic party in two or
three national campaigns, and will
provoke an inquiry into the cause OF
that alliance. Globe Democrat.

Congressman-elect Roberts is
finding his pathway to secure his
seat in the house full of thorns.
He is opposed by residents of his
own state. The following from an
editor at Salt Lake covers the
case so we'll it is reproduced:
"B. q. Roberts appeal to the
country adds nothing to the mer-
it's of his case. He is evidently
seeking to awaken belief that it
is partisan warfare that is being
made upon him, and that it was q
republican majority that met him
at The threshold of the house and
declined, without an investigation,
to accept his ticket of admission.
In his disappointment he directly
charges the members of the house
of representatives with cowardice,
as betrayine their trust and violat-
ing their oaths, being cowed by
popular clamor. His plea for the
good faith Of the state in the mat
tor of polygamy is a dishonest
plea; is a mere luggle with words;
his declarations in this matter are
belied y abundant proof. His af-
fected sorrow lest other states may
be deprived of their representa-
ton on the precedent in his case
10 balderdash, of the same order
as his affection that the action ia
ken against him has been without
cause. But tho most indecent
play he makes is where he pretends
to believe that he is excluded be-
cause he is q Mormon, when no
ono knows better than he that his
predecessor was a Mormon, in
quite as good standing in the
church AZ himself, and not q whis-
per was raised against him. And
when Mr.. Roberts pledges his hon.
Or to the denial of things that are
veil known and are inevitably in
volved in tho circumstances and
facts involved in his election, sol
much the worse for his honor"

Pen Decorations.

The latest thing in china decorations
is ornamentation without the brush.
A china painter who is known all over
the city by the name of John says
that extremely pretty work can be
done with steel pen and liquid gold
and few luster colors- green, pink
and violet. A bottle Of gold and es-
sence for mixing are also to be pur-
chased at the art store, and alcohol 10
needed to clean the shading brush. A
perfectly plain cup and saucer are best
to begin on. To tint the cup start
at the top with rose luster, work the
green delicately into this, then follow
with the violet. Work quickly, as
each color must be blended with the
other before drying.
When the tinting is complete, let the
piece dry thoroughly, then mix tho
gold with the essence until it il creamy
in consistence and will flow readily
from the pen, which should be moisten-
ed, II new. Any simple scroll design
can be easily drawn. When the article
is fred, it will be pretty and effective.

The largest and most important mill
tary hospital during the Spanish-Amer-
lean war was at Fort Mcpherson, Ga.
1t was small but beautiful hospital,
surrounded by flowers and shrubs. Al
most Immediately there came a great
call for nurses, and the call was not
made In vain.
The nurses were employed upon the
recommendation of the Daughters of
the American Revolution. There were
nearly Is trained nurses sent to Fort
Mcpherson, and many deserve credit
for the earnest work they did. Some
were making from $95 to 500 per
month before entering the army serv-
ice and through patriotism were moved
to give up their lucrative positions to
go and nurse sick soldiers. For this
they were paid $50 month. In most
cases their nntiring energy and tender.
ness in the care Of the sick were note
worthy. They were supposed to be II
hours on and IL hours off in the per-
Torrance of their duties, but there
were many who worked from II to 10
hours q day. The work of the nurses
consisted in keeping the beds tidy and
clean, the personal care and super

temperature. feeding, bathing and
sponging and writing letters to anx-
ious friends and relatives at q dis.

rarely taken into consideration, is the

Colonel Samuel B. Horne, ex-labor
commissioner Of Connecticut, sprang
surprise on the Eleventh Regiment as
ISOLATION the other day. The meeting
of the members who took part in the
battle of Antietam was held this year
on the anniversary of the battle of
South Mountain, and many ladies were
present. When it came to the time for
the election of officers, Colonel Horne
surprised many by nominating Miss s.
Adelaide Sackett of Hartford as presi-
dent, and she was elected by acclama-
ton. She thanked the comrades, but
wanted to resign, saying she did not
feel able to do the work.
Secretary Quinn then said: "a young
man came to my quarters the night be-
fore the charge at Petersburg and said:
I don't feel well tonight, Quinn. We
are going into a fight tomorrow, and
know l shan't come OUT He was one
of the first to fall. That man was Cap
tain Sackett. He cannot be president
Of this association, and l think it right
his sister should be-" This settled the
matter. Miss Sackett, the new presi-
dent, has been identified with Grand
Army work in Hartford since the in-
ception Of the order and is widely
known throughout the state on account
of her identity with the Woman's Re-
lief corps. She is receiving clerk in
the Office Of the Hartford Street Rail-
way company and possesses executive
ability'of a high order.
