The influence of the press. partIcu-

it is growing year by year. and with
reasonable cooperation and reciproc-
ity between the press. the transpoFta-
tIon companies and the commercial
and industrial interests OF the country.
there can be no doubt about our su-
premacy.
At times there have been periods of
legislation adverse 10 the great trans
portation interests OF the country. al
most Invariably the result OF misun-
derstandirg OF the real si-sstion. and
the hasty legislation OF such times has
usually been repealed upon the sober
second thought OF the people. for in the
language u oar great Lincoln: You
can fool all the people some OF the
time. some of the people all the time,
but you can't fool all the people all
the time" There are still some people
who fear that consultations, especial

result disastrously to the general In

THE NEW MARKET CADETS.

The people of the South are proud to
bare their heads and do honor to the
men who wore the gray uniform of the
Confederacy. They have erected monu.
ments to their memory; they strew
their graves with flowers, and books
have been written telling of their valor-
Gus deeds
Poets have sung the self denial, the
heroism and the patriotism of the
women of Dixie. but who has said
word or helped to pcrpetuate the mem
ory Of the boys, aye children, who died.
under arms. for the country they loved
Indeed. how few people. except those
who participate know that a battalion
Of boys from the Virginia Military In
stitute left their books, and at New
Market marched into the teeth of the
hottest fire of the enemy?
1t Is natural to expect, aye, demand
bravery of a man.-the Southern SOL
diers have made their record 1t is
equally as natural for the noble women
of our country to give all in defense of
their country. Like the Spartan moth
crs. they not only gave up every luxury.
every comfort. that the soldiers in the
field might be provided (for their story
is known of all men). but they sent
their boys to battle.
But what of the boys? Is there to be
no STORED urn or animated bust" to
bring back and secure TO future gene
rations the history of the New Market
Cadets? Have these brave boys, with
visions of happy life before them, be-
dimmed by no sorrow or care, to lay
down their lives in vain? The cause
for which they fought and died is lost.
but the memory of their bravery and
heroism is as dear as ever They are
not here to speak for themselves: their
comrades are too modest to do it for
them: may not we. then, raise a slab
upon which, Sacred to their memory
and the cause for which they fought,
and the glorious death they died), theil
names and those OF their comrades
shall live even as the living stone?
Hundreds of people in the United
States. even Federal soldiers. are con-

1t Is self-enforcing.

According to the advocates of this
new disoensation OF trusts, or consoli-
dalton. all>wise and good rules and pre-
cepts are to be enforced by having
every mower to enforce removed. Our
furnishers and suppliers are not only
to be free. but masters-monarchs of
all they survey. Nobody to'bid against
them, they take material and labor at
their own prices: and, nobody to COM
pete with them, they fix the quality,
workmanship and price of their pro-
ducts to suit themselves. No competi-
tor is allowed. and the consumer must
take whatever is offered, and at the
price asked. or do without. Take shoes,
for instance. The trusts can control
the whole business at any one OF many
points with its aggregated capital 1t
may control hides: or tannerles; or
leather: or shoe factories: or the price
of leather or hides, or that of shoes.
or the wages of shoe makers Where
is there any freedom, even of work
in this? Where is personal liberty to
toll?

THERE is NO LIBERTY WITH

are the twin corollaries of the doctrine

LOOK ON THIS PICTURE.

We clip the following from an advo-
cate of trusts. gold monometallism and
other schemes to make the rich mas
ters, and the poor. slaves. 1t is - pic
ture of the trust. drawn by 4 loving
and skillful hand:
ut Is Il fact which cannot be dis
puted that a strike among the en-
Dloyes of a trust is a thing OF exceed
ingly rare occurrence. IL indeed such
strike ever occurs. The reason for this
is simple. The trust carries on such an
extensive business that to have its
works shut down even for n little while
by reason of strike were almost
ruinous. Its expenses are immense, it's
margin of profit is small. it must make
the best possible article at the loves ,
possible cost in order to make it's goods
popular. therefore 1t must have the best
labor IL must Keeo it's Iaborers salts
fed. and to do this it is necessary for
the trust to pay the highest market
price for labor. 9Aen who work for
trusts are. generally speaking. pretty
well satisfied with their job. They get
good wages and they buy their sup
plies cheaper than ever before. In vain
is the cry raised that the trusts lower
the price of raw materials. In this
world every man is for himself and the
workingman will not complain of chea r
prices. Imagine the campaign orator
standing before an audience of work
inSmen employed by trusts, and we are
told, mind you. that the trusts control
everything, hear him tell the working
men that in the interest of liberty they
must help to crush the trust But what
does that mean To the laborng man
| means nothing but clap trap and will
pass him as the idle wind which he re-
gardsSot. or it means that the institu-
ton Which employs him is 10 be de-

Turner was a lover of nature in n
peculiar way. We generally associate
with that phrase taste for simple
scenes and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
ilowery banks and green meadows, or,
at the widest and the widest. moors
and woods. Turner was a lover rather
of the large, the unbounded and the
complex. He was q lover also of many
scenes in many lands The Barbizon
painters who make picture after pic
ture out of the simple details of one
small country side would not have
seemed reasonable beings to Turner,
who painted in preference vast land
seapes OF Alpine summit and forest
clad hill, or of the open ocean, or of
the wide plain through which some
historic river winds its slow way to the
