The Trusts
INC Richmond Times save /.

Inc hltnmtlu lHlfN says.
I'VE have predicted time and again
in these columns that the Republican
party in the next campaign would vie
with the Democratic party in its de-
nunciation OF trusts Had there been
any doubt as to this. the Republican
convention in Ohio would have removed
it We commend the action Of the
Seventy third Assembly of Ohio, says
the platform. in passing the stringent
law on our statute books, prohibiting
tho organization of trusts, and we pro.
nounoe such unlawful combinations as
inimicable TO the interests Of the peo.
Pile We congratulate the people of the
State upon the fact that the Republican
Legislature enacted this law, and we
demand its rigid enforcement.
This utterance is more significant
as coming from OHIO, the State of
President Mckinley, and his right hand
man, Mark Hanna Ii is prophetic Of
the national platform Of 1900 There
is popular prejudice against trusts,
and politicians are not slow to take ad'
vantage of such an opportunity to play
upon the passions Of the people.
What Will the Democrats do about
this? The Republicans are evidently
going 10 steal their thunder. If they
can, and Democrats like Mr.. Altgeld
are disposed to 60 bow shot beyond
and to declare that the only way to deal
with trusts is for the government 10
confiscate them and operate them.
Mr. Altgeld says that the people
will not be satisfied with mere de-
nunciaticn of trusts, but will demand
some practical remedy for them, and
that the only practical remedy is gov
eminent ownership. Will the Demo
Gratis take Altgelds view? That is the
question and the greatest question. 1t
seems 10 us, that the Democrats will
have 10 consider between this time and
the time Of holding the convention In
900? Mr.. Altgeld has anticipated the
action of the Republican party, and.
being a shrewd politician. he has moved
the party standard nearer than ever to
wards the realm of complete Socialism,
and has challenged the party to follow
his lead. What is the party going 10
do about it? What are the Virginia
Democrats going to do about it: We
say that this is question which they
cannot put aside and might as well
meet it now as later II is said that
Mr.. Altgeld is to be Mr.. Bryan's man.

The Seal Of the Confederacy.

One Of the most interesting as we'll
as valuable historical relics ever seen in
Wheeling, West Virginia, is now at the
residence Of COL Robert White, Major
General Commanding the West Vir-
ginia division. United Confederate Vet
Grams. This souvenir is the original of
the great seal OF the Confederate States
Of America. the property Of Mrs. Pendle-
ton, Of Sheperdstown, vice president Of
the Daughters of the Oonfederacy Of
West Virginia, who is the guest Of Mr.
and Mrs. White Col. Alexander X.
Boteler. father Of Mrs. Pendleton, was
a member Of Congress from Virginia
before the war, and was also leading
and influential member Of the Congress
of the Confederate States.
He.was appointed a member and chair
man Of the committee appointed to
design a great seal for the Confederate
government
Colonel Boteler was one day walking
toward the monument to Washington,
which stood in front Of the capitol at
Richmond, and thought took posses
sion Of him that he had there the CEN
trail idea for the great seal Colonel
Boteer communicated his idea to the
committee. and in due time design
was drafted and sent 10 London TO a
then celebrated artist and engraver
named Wyatt, and in due time it was
returned to Richmond, where it was
greatly admired and promptly approved
by the Confederate Congress From the
original silver design, now at Oolonel
Whites, bronze or copper dies were
made for actual use, while the original
design in silver was presented by con-
gress to Colonel Boteler in recognition
of his services and the appreciation Of
them by the authorities Of the Confed-
crate government.
At Colonel Boteler's death the seal
became the property Of his daughter,
Mrs. Pendleton, and on coming to Wheel
ing for this visit she brought it with
her, that Colonel White and others
might see and admire it. The seal is
of solid silver, about three and half
inches in diameter, and is exquisitely
engraved in high relief.

Hard on Miles.
J. b. Gordon.

Dol. John W. Akin. known through
out the South for his brilliant legal tai
emit, last week at Atlanta, Ga, deliver
ed before the Society of the Daughters
of the American Revolution the follow
ing bitter denunciation of Gen. Nelson
A. Miles, in reference to his connection
with Jefferson Davis:
"Fanaticism demanded victim, but
even fanaticism blushed when the dun
geon keeper, Nelson Miles, sent his
brawny blacksmith and four burly troop
ers to the dungeon to throw down upon
the stone floor this feeble old gentle
man, and rivet the shackles upon his
ankles and his wrists and load MIN
down with chains. This british jailor
has since become our ranking general
Official favoritism made him So Isus-
poet that his cruelty TO jefferson Davis
helped him TO wear the generals uni
form, for Jefferson Davis was the rep.
resentative Of the Southern people and
there have been many, alas, there are
still some, who delight in anything
which humiliates or wounds the South.
''This ruffianly prison keeper has
lately pleaded official orders as his ex.
cuse for this barbarity. He is begin
ming, perhaps, to read the verdict which
humanity and Christianity pronounces
upon his deed But the records are
made up and they show this excuse is
false. 1t was in the hollow heart Of
Nelson Niles, the incompetent coxcomb
and mendacious falsifier, that was con-
ceived this dirty and inhuman cruelty.
Gen. Egan exhausted the vocabulary Of
epithets in describing and denouncing
Gen. Miles. His words were too foul
for official records; but if they were
not Just what Gen. Miles deserves, it is
because the language Of the cutters has
no words foul enough to appropriately
describe the heart and nature Of Nelson
A. Miles "

Hot A Menace To the United States

Speaking Of the oession by Spain
to Germany Of the Carolines, Merianne
and Polaos Islands, Duke d ARGOS, the
Spanish Minister says he regards the
transfer Of the islands to Germany as
the most natural thing in the world
He seemed somewhat astonished to learn
Of the surprise ii occasioned in this cOun'
try, and intimated that the State De-
partment was informed Of the progress
Of the negotiations, indirectly at least
He said he could think Of no reason
why apprehension should be excited.
Spain, he added. had but one course
to pursue in regard to its remaining
colonies in this quarter Of the globe af-
ter losing the Philippines, which was
20 dispose of them as advantageonsly as
possible. They we're a source Of great
expense and little revenue. Germany
had large interests in the Carolines,
which IL wished to protect. 1t was a
strong nation and able to care for its
colonies. Americas interests in the
Philippines were in no way threatened
by this transfer Of sovereignty, for the
islands are 80 remote from the Philip
pines that they were spoken Of together
and regarded as being in the same VI
cinity only because both groups origi-
nally belonged to Spain.
