Fight tho Trusts.

Governor Sadler has received the
following letter; dated Austin, Texas.
June ., 1899:
Dear Sir:-Aiter much reflection
have concluded that it would not be
improper .or ME to suggest that
conference OF the Governors and At
torney Generals OF tho several States
and territories be held to consider tho
effect which the formation OF trusts ls
having upon the country, and il pos
sible to agree upon a character OF
legislation that will not only force
those now existing INTO dissolution,
but will also prevent their further
creation. | am firmly Of the opinion
that IL us many as twenty states can
be induced to adopt a uniform
policy in reference to this generally
admitted evil, and will enforce such
policy with tirmness, impartiality and
rigor, relief will surely and quickly
follow. 1t connot be doubted but
that i'll this matter State action Is
necessary and that uniformity in the
enactment and enforcement OF legis.
lation indispensable.
i have therefor to respectfully sug-
gest to your Excellency and to the
Attorney General OF your State, that
a conference to consist OF the Govern
ors and Attorney Generals OF such
States rs may see tit to attend, be
held i'll st. Louis on Wednesday, the
both day of September, 1899, for the
purpose Of taking such action as may
be deemed proper respecting the sub
ject matter Of this letter.
An early reply, advising me OF your
view and intentions il requested.

pectfully. your obedient servant,

A SPECTACULAR DECADENCE.

1t is the closing chapter in the his
tory OF the decline OF an empire
whose flag was once the mistress Of
the seas. The colonial history OF
SPAN is one OF the most thrilling
narratives III tue annals OF Earope.
1t was in the middle OF the fifteenth
century and under the united sover-
eighties OF Ferdinand and Isabella
that Spain, which then comprised on
ly the two kingdoms Of CASTLE and
Arngon, expelled the Moors and
gained possession OF the whole Span
ish peninsula. During the year that
the last Moorish city surrendered,
Columbus sailed for America and in
the next century the founding OF the
Spanish colonies began III South and
Central America, Mexico. Florida,
Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and
California. In the mean time Charles
V and Philip II extended Span
ish dominion over Germany. the
Netherlands, part Of Austria, and Il
considerable OF Italy.
One by one these vast colonial pos
sessions have been taken from her,
some through wars for Independence,
as in the Netherlands, and others by
the Intervention OF powers through
the interests OF humanity to prevent
Spanish cruelty and misgovernment.
Tho total area Of Spain's colonial
possessions, embracing the main por.
ton OF South America, Central Amer
lea. Mexico and those parts OF the
United States contiguous to Mexico;
amounted at one time to nearly TO-
OOO,O0O square miles, about equal to
the total area OF Great Britain mt the
present time.
The war with the Unised States
deprived her nf Porto Rico, Cuba
the Philippines and the island OF
Guam, or total area OF about l69,-
Col square miles. All that is left OF
