porated in New Jersey last week, and

The Havana Commercial Co., which is

SAYS: It is learned on the most re-

of the new casket combine will be
$2s 100000 and that ]. Pierpont Nor

control of the ginning business by in
Producing the round bale system. The
trust owns the patents, and when the
square bale system is abolished it will
have the planter by the throat as ef-
fectually as Northern and Western

ming machinery is in every way supe-
rior to the old square ginners, and is
not sold, but leased by the trust.
Three representatives of an Ameri-
can syndicate are in England negotia-

to carry the scheme through, and in
about three months time, there will
| be the biggest trust ever formed on
the other side of the Atlantic, involving
capital to the amount of about $75,-
100000. The idea is that each side
| abandon competition on the others
ground and come to working ar

business, especially that of Southern
| Europe, in oil and seed cake. The oil
milling industry in England is confin-
ed to Hull, Liverpool and London.
Hull is the principal center, but Liver

from their editorials. They are squirm-

at the feast they were enjoying by
patronage from the trusts and COM
bines some time ago, little dreaming
that the game would go on until they
would be in the squeeze. hey are
plundered by a combine on type, on
paper, on presses and machines, and
now they are bowling for free trade
on paper, but they are not bowling for
free trade on things they do not use
to any considerable extent. There will
be failure Of many papers. the in
creased cost of material and decreased

improbable. Isn't it lots of fun?

Thos. S. Wood, the attorney for the
Street Railway Company, on Tuesday
sWore out warrant and caused the
arrest OF John Dean, a hackman. The
offense with which Dean is charged is
blocking the street cars during the
funeral on Monday. Dean pleaded not
guilty before Judge rdson, demanded
jury and the trial was set for April
4th, he being released on ms own rec
ognizance. The Street Railway Com
pany claim that during the funeral on
Monday the drivers in the procession
Intentionally delayed the street ears
by getting in the tracks and refusing
to yield the right-ol-way when re-
quested to DO so. Inis is positively
and absolutely denied by those who had
charge of the funeral and they claim
that the street railway people have
set up the charge simply to prejudice
the public minc and possibly to assist
in helping the anti-boycott bill, which
is now pending before the Legislature
at St. Paul The result of this case
will be watched with considerable in

that has ever been before the NUM-

Rettcr Things.

When things are at their worst is
time to look for things to get better
Nobody seems satisfied with the way
things are. Most of us can say with
Hamlin Garland:
We have seen the reaper toiling in the
heat of summer sun.
We have seen the children needy when
the harvesting was done.
We have seen mighty army dying
hopeless one by one,
While their flag went marching on
O! the army of the wretched, how they
swarm the dirty street;
We have seen them in the night where
the Goths and Vandals meet.
We have shujldered in the darkness at
the noises of their feet
But their cause goes marching On.
