A TRUST EFFECT.

When the Industrial Commission as
sembles at Washington City, Friday OF
the present week, Percy E. Dove, Pres
ident of the Commercial Travellers Ma
tional League, will take the stand to
present the effects of trust organiza-
ton and operation upon the CONNER
cial travelling men of tie country. In
the opinion of Mr.. Dove, after careful
research, $4,000 expert business men
will now have to fight for their very
existence, and if crushed, as they must
largely be if trust methods become per-
manent, the three millions of dollars
per day now expended by travelling
men will be largely withdrawn from
active business circles
Going into some details, Mr. Dove
says that the organization of the Chair
trust threw 1000 travelling men out OF
employment. The American Steel
trust caused the discharge of 800 men
employed by one concern alone which
entered the combination, and from this
the total number may be imagined.
The tobacco deal cost 800 men their

The fact that the Presidents anti

places at the public crib is exemplified

nal revenue office. The fourteen places
are now filled by competent Democrats.
who held office under the civil service
rules. Now they have got to walk the
plank, and inexperienced men will take
their places simply because they are
Republicans with a pull or push. 1t
will be great scramble when it fairly
starts.

ously since. He was at first a coach

MODIFY THE PRESENT TARIFF.

Baltimore Sun.
Assuming that the Ohio Republicans
are sincere and that the antitrust plank
in their platform is an honest expression
of their views, it would seem that Pres
ferent to the evils of which the Republi-
cans of his own State complain. II the
State conventions condemnation of trusts
is not purely Pickwickian. and If the Pres
ident Is satisfied that he can carry Ohio
next year. even if he does hit the trusts
hard blow, the time has come for such
action will convince those who are
suffering from the operations of the
trusts that they have a champion at the
White House who VIII help them Why
should President Mckinley hesitate, when
Congress meets. 10 send a message to that
body pointing out and advocating the only
method by which the trusts can be de-
stroyed?
The weapon that can DC used most eff
fectively is the tariff, and as the Repub-
lican party has majority in both houses
of Congress there is no reason why it
should wait upon the courts, while the
trusts become stronger every day. If the
President should recommend a modifi-
cation ol the present tdrlH act, winch
promotes monopoly and enables combi-
nations in restraint of trade to Cypress
consumers, he would do more to con-
vince the people of the sincerity of his
party's pledges than all the platforms
which the most ingenious politicians can
devise If he and his party are willing
to let the trusts continue to grow through
the tariff policy which the Republican
party has established Republican ora
tors may condemn domestic monopolies
every day in the year. but their clamor

tralia- But It would be Of no advant-
age to trade between Atlantic coast
ports and the far east. Tor instance,
the distance from New York to Manila,
Hong Kong and Japan would be longer
by way of the Isthmus than the pres
ent route. via. the Suez canal. and as
a result little trade from our largest
centres of commerce would take the
proposed route.
| Another fact, generally lost sight of.
is that if either canal was completed
by American enterprise and American
money, it would not be an American
canal, any more than the present Pan
anna project, of carried to completion,
would be French canal. We could
never have anything more than certain
specified rights, the canal belonging
primarily to its shareholders. under
Columbian or Nicaraguan government

alike. To build an American canal in
the Isthmus would mean not only the
enterprise and cash. but the acquiring
of territory as we'll.
That one of these canals will be COM
pleted, perhaps within the next ten
years, may be regarded as reasonably
certain. Scores of millions have al
ready been expended on the Panama
route, and work is still being carried
on. The French Company is under
stood to be willing to sell out to this
! government, or to an American Com
pany with governmental or other ade-
quate backing, and it would surprise
no one if the Commission just appoint
ed, although starting with prejudice
in favor of Nicaragua, would recon-
mend the Panama route.

Persistent Advertising

yrLLrFIcArIoS OF WHEELING.

The Register this morning reprints
from the Pittsburg Dispatch of Sum
day, the communication signed ct"
dated in this city, and evidently writ
ten here. Who 1T" is cannot be divin-
ed just at present, but ii is probable
the initial does not stand for any part
OF his name. The article is presented
that our readers may see the sort of
stuff being sent abroad from this city.
and as an instance of what appears to
be a systematic endeavor to bring the
community into disrepute through
misrepresentation and Justification.
We also reprint, from the Intelligencer
and News, a portion of their comments
upon this anonymous writer and others
of his ilk
The newspapers of this city have
been fair and impartial in this strike
situation, printing the news as it oc-
CURED, not including, however, the
hundred and one irresponsible and
groundless rumors which have been
put in circulation, and while doing this,
have aided. to the limits of their abili-
ty, every endeavor to bring about a
settlement which held out any promise
whatever of success. That they will
continue to wish for, hope for and
strive for such an adjustment as shall
be fair and reasonable. there is no
doubt; and at the same time they will
continue to stand for and champion
the fair reputation of the community,
and to resent. as occasion shall de-
mand, Misrepresentation ard SANDER.
Writers in the vein used by "T'' will
find little encouragement or endorse
ment in Wheeling from any quarter
Scores of American cities have been
the scene of disorder from labor trou-
Nbles involving riot and bloodshed
Nothing of that sort has taken place
here. ct" should study the records of
riots in Brooklyn, Buffalo, Pittsburg,
Chicago, Cleveland, and elsewhere and
then acknowledge that the people of
Wheeling are orderly and peaceful
under circumstances provoking the
most serious outbreaks elsewhere.

With peculiar and far-reaching logic,
a Republican paper argues that mas
much as the Democrats were quite as
unanimous for the war with Spain as
Republicans, therefore they are equally
guilty as to the trouble in the Philip
pines. 1t is forgotten that the two
wars are entirely separate and distinct
affairs. One was necessary; the other
was not.

THE FALSEHOODS OF ct"
THE ANONYMOUS LIAR.

THE ANONYMOUS LIAR.
Wheeling News
An anonymous correspondent of the
Pittsburg Dispatch yesterday, signing
himself IT, makes a vicious attack upon
Wheeling and the community in general
on account OF the street car strike The
burden of ITS" complaint is that the
people of Wheeling refuse to ride on the
cars; that certain irresponsible per-
sons have created a reign of terror:
that life and property are not safe, and
that last and worst of all the Wheeling
newspapers have aided and abetted the
anarchists by refusing to publish COM
munications relative TO the strike or boy
colt, unless the author signs his name
thereto
The News yesterday called attention to
the persistent villification of this city
and community, by the press of outside
cities, and this villifcation seems to be
aided and encouraged by certain persons
in Wheeling itself. These dyspeptic indi-
viduals start out with the assumption that
because things are not just as they want
them, the city is going to ruin: and then
they proceed to hasten the running pro-
cess by going about the country de-
nouncing and criticising their home and
its people Strikes are not peculiar to
Wheeling. During all or most of the
present street car strike there has been
a similar strike in Grand Rapids. a city
of about the size of Wheeling and ii has
not been proclaimed TO the world that
Grand Rapids was on the eve Of an
archy and financial ruin.
There was more disorder in one day Of
the Buffalo grain shovelers strike than
during one month of the strike in this
city: there has been more disorder more
interference with the operating of cars
in the three days of the Cleveland street
car strike than there has been during
the two months Of the Wheeling strike,
and yet no one seems to fear that the
industrial situation in Cleveland or Buff
falo i going to lead TO revolution In
judicious strikes have done great dam

1t turns out that the administration
not only expended all of the fifty mil
lion emergency fund handed over to the
discretion of the President at the out
break of the war with Spain, but that
warrants have been drawn in excess to
the tune of about $4,000, although
they have not ali been cashed, and a
cash balance of something like three
millions remains on hand.

ROSA BONHEUR AND UNSER FRITZ

london Chronicle.
Rosa Bonheur had many honors show
cred upon her since the Empress Eu-
genie gave her the decoration of the
Legion of Honor. She was always a
s.aunch patriot. 1t is related that in 1871
Frederick, Crown Prince of Prussia, rode
into her chateau grounds at the head of
a troop of Uhlans. Dismounting, he asked
eraciously that the greas artist would do
him the honor of receiving his visit and
show him some of her pictures. SER
want carried the message to her mis-
tress, and in a few seconds returned with
the answer: THE Crown Prince of Pras-
ria is welcome to look at the pictures he
wishes to see, but Rosa Bonheur cannot
and will not, entertain her country's con-
queror" The Prince, as may be expected
was greatly taken aback with such an
answer. For moment he stood unde-
cided. then said carelessly: well, WE'LL
so be it; but as / cannot see the artist,

The deed whereby the late Mrs. Sarah j..
Ballard conveyed to w. H. M. Pussy, in
trust for the Woman's Christian Association
hospital, a sum Of SIC, 900 in cash and certain
lots In this city. was placed on record in
the county recorders office yesterday. The
deed is dated December 2S, 1897, and the
property conveyed are the three lots on
First avenue, west Of the Grand hotel, hav-
ing a frontage Of $50 feet. and two lots in
Beers addition and one In Everett's addi-
ton. The property on First avenue is i'm
proved and contains two residences, one Of
which was Mrs. Billiards. home. THE other
lots are improved. What disposition the
association will make Of this property will
not be decided on until after a meeting Of
the Board Of Directors and the Advisory
board, which will be called by Mrs. o. H.
Lucas as soon as Mrs. Billiards. will is ad-
mitted to probate. The members Of the Ad-
visory board are: Messrs. N. p. Dodge, l..
w. Ross, Thomas Officer and f. l.. Shugart.
OF the $40, 900 cash bequest the hospital
has already received $4,000 and the balance
OF 5000 is now lying to the credit OF the
association at Officer & Pusey's bank.
II the suggestion OF Mrs. Lucas, the pres
ident Of the association. is carried out none
OF this money will be used at present and
none Of the property will be sold. Instead,
the interest from the money and the rents
from the property will be allowed to accu-
mulate and form a fund for future use. The
hospital at present is lf-supporting and
Mrs. Lucas does not believe that it would
be wise to expend any more money in en-
larging the present building.
