TINE TRUSTS TERRIFYING FIGURES.

The New York Journal makes the
total capitalization of all the trusts in
the country 81, 416, 235,779.
Their capitalization in the middle
of March was over $4,000, 100000. The
capital invested in these combines IN
creased over rs per cent. in a little
more than ole north.
1t is easy to say $1,000, 1000, 600,
but. counted at the rate of 81 a second
during twelve hours day, it would re-
qulre one person 43O years to count the
sum.
1t is sufficient to pay the expenses
of the United States government for
fifteen years. Al the rate earned oy
some of the trusts the interest on It
would run the government forever.
1t is more than any other national
debt in the world. 1t is seven times
the bonded debt of the United States.
1t is $4,000 for every family in the
countryside for every man, woman
and child in the land.
The menace of these figures is al
most terrifying.
There can be no eyadIng the alterna-
tive before the people. Either they
must crush or be crushed, says the
Journal.

a leak had sprung in that great embank-
ment which saves Holland from the devas-
tations of the hungry sea. 1t was early IN
the night, and no one was near at hand.
The leak was small when he found 1t, but
he knew that the action of the water would
enlarge it long before morning, and wash
awav the entire embankment inundate the
country and destroy his own and thou
sands of homes So he bravely put his
finger in the crevasse, and kept it there all
the long night through, until help came ana
the opening was properly stopped. He had
saved his country.

UNCLE SAM WILL NOT TOLERATE EXTORTION
President ZeInya Is Backing Torres

Must Be Refunded.

Washington, April s.--The cruiser De-
for Port Limon, Costa Rica, where she will
receive instructions from the navy depart
ment as to her further course. the cable
to Nicaraguan ports being interrupted
through the arbitrary action of General
Torres.
Nothing has been heard at the state de-
partment from It's representative in Mica

Port Limon three days ago on account OF
Torres action and appealed for two war
ships.
The Detroit is due at Port Limon Tues

r,ded change for the better In the situa-
tion in Nicaragua she will push on with
all speed to Blueields Our government
ia determined not to tolerate the nxtor-
tion practiced by Torres upon American
n ,erchants there.
