Guests at Mozart Hall.
The visiting members of the Young
Mems Central Catholic Union and the
German Catholic Central association were
entertained a Mozart hall last evening
by the Young Mems Fest Behorde of This
city The early portion of the evening
was devoted to a musical and dramatic
entertainment which was heartily en-
Joyed by all present The programme
opened with the Jolly Students over
ture by the Central orchestra, after which
Rev. c. H. Hompesch delivered an adj
dress upon the duties of the Catholic
young men OF the present day toward the
church and the state
The speaker counseled the young men
to follow the example of their fathers
in regard to industry and morality and to
exercise great care In adopting the newer
ideas of the present day, many of which
he said, had a demoralizfng rather than
an improving influence
The comedy "AlI the Fools Are NOT
Dead Yet, was presented by Joseph
Griesgraber, Peter Thrill, and J. J. Thai
huber. The piece sets forth in a very
humorous manner the adventures of a
penniless and INSCRIPTIONS youth who at
the instigation of a chance acquaintance
poses as a wise man and profits by find
Ing a number of persons gullible enough
to take him at his own representations
The band played a composition entitled
''The Battle Of Gettysburg in very STIR

did Matthew Frank by his cornet solo.

society against the trust evil. With
by the several states, or fair proper
ton of them, it will not be long until
the public sentiment has crystallized into
intelligent legal direction. No radical
measures may be necessary at the out
set. Measures of some character are
indisputably needed. The remedy of
light and publicity, as suggested by
Bcurke Cochran, is all right so far as
it goes. But it suffices nothing of It
self, considering the advances these or
CARNATIONS have made in the past twelve
months in the broad light of the fullest
publicity
As the G o b has pointed out, The
most essential principle of action is uni
formtty of regulation. The states
whose officials recognize the danger Of
the trusts will not hesitate to unite with
their sister states in applying the same
remedy. There can be no hedging. What
today's conference agrees upon that
much, at least, the people of the several
states will look to their officials to adopt
and enforce. In this way the public
will soon be able to distinguish who
among their public servants are the re-
tainers of the trusts, and which of the
political parties Is interested in per-
petuating their sway.
No reasonable man who has watched
the progress which the trusts have made
In comparatively brief period will
hesitate in believing that combinations
involving such tremendous aggregations
of capital as have been formed in that
time must, if left uncontrolled, develop
in time into pure monopolies. Potential
competition could not continue to exist
beneath the tremendous pressure which
they could, and assuredly would, exer-
else in controlling the markets in the va
rious products they represent, and in sus-
tanning each other in their operations.
The st. Louis gathering will determine
| many things regarding the trusts. From
the spirit which plainly animated Gov.
Savers in calling it together the people
have reason TO expect encouraging re-
suits.

Whatever. excuses may be forthcoming
for the closing of certain of our public
schools for want of fuel, the result is
none the less a shame and disgrace to the
community. One looks in vain for an un-
Outstanding Of the criminal laundering
or worse which has been III progress in
almost every department. Of our local gov
eIrment Nowhere does there seem to
exist even the shadow of a sense of true
official responsibility. The latest outrage
on the people of the city is explained by
the shallow circumstance that the city
attorney is out of town.
Last July the contracts for the coal for
our city schools were awarded. The inter
val has been spent by those Of our officials
who have had the matter ii charge III
pottering around concerning technical OBJ
tections of one kind or another. The
contract has not been formally approved,
among other reasons because the city at
tcrney is out of town. Pending his re-
turn to his official duties, the comptroller
Expresses his readiness to audit the bills
for the necessary ccal. The president of
the school board, however is not willing
10 do business on such loose principles;
and. Notwithstanding the grand array of
young lawyers which the city maintains
in its pay as its legal advisers, the head
Of the office being absent, 1t is found
necessary to close the doors of three Of
our principal city schools to their pu-
pills.
Such a state of things is insufferable,
In other communities less used to lapses
on the part of their local officials such
an event would be the occasion of a mass
meeting TO express the Indignation Of the
PEOPLE.
Here wo sit idly by, awaiting the leis-
ure of our servants, and make the most
of whatever inconvenience or wrong We
may happen to be subjected to by them.
It is of little use, however, to protest.
It will only disturb the temper of the
prctestants. without having any visible
effect on those through whose rerniss-
ness such a shameful condition Of af-
fairs is called into existence.
Doubtless when Mr.. Markham returns,
or the president of the school board de-
cides to reconsider his lordly mandate,
the coal companies will deliver the fuel
they have contracted to deliver. Until
then, let the truant officers take a vaca-
ton and the taxpayers console them
selves. The evil after all. is one of de-
gree rather than Of principle 1t repre-
SCENTS only a temporary addition, anyway,
to the number of children whom
we can find no school accommodation
for, fuel or no fuel.

TODAX'S ANTITRUST GATHERING.
The recent trust conference at Chi
cago has been effectua1 in clearing th9
atmosphere of public thought of much of
the cIoudiness which distinguished it.
Many of the fallacies which had re-
cei1 ed acceptance as to the nature, oper-
ati"n and possible results of trust crea-
tons have been dispelled. Most of the
fears entertained, too, have been fully
confirmed by the contributions made by
the ablest participants in that confer
ence.

which appeared in the daily press VIII

Intelligent, uniform and effective system
of regulation and control of these COM

pINGREE & ALGER-DIssoLvED.

PINGREE * ALGER-DISSOLVED
The partnership, limited and special, be-
tween Russell A. AIger and Gov. Pingree
has evidently come to a disastrous close.
The junior member of the firm has found
his proposed capital so sadly impaired
that his remaining longer in the concern
| had become a virtual impossibility.
Gen. Alger has been at pains to declare
quite frequently Of late that he never
retreats under fire. He is declared by
than one occasion, and that at least one
of his retreats on a memorable occasion
some years ago was effected under such
circumstances as did not leave his repu-
tation for courage visbly improved.
The latest retreat of this imperialist
statesman is certainly one which does not
qualities which are regarded as indis-
peEsable to the soldier. 1t is clearly made
under fire, and it is made with such an
absence Of order as to amount in effect
to a rout, It is no more scldierly Per-
Torrance than his retreat from the
Office of secretary of war, which his
friends have been heard claiming was
made to cover the operations of ether
forces i'll the command.
The political career of Gen. Alger IS
thus brought to an irrevocable close. He
attained the high distinction of having
mad votes cast in his favor in successive
Republican national conventions as a
candidate for the presidency. He has
held the office of secretary of war only
political friends. When the time had
come for him to- effectually resent the
indignities done him both at home and
abroad he quietly Withdraws, and, as
recent events show, proves himself in
capable of even the primitive virtue Of
self-defense.
Gen. Ayers most recent political part
ner is still in business at the old stand.
He has declared that he will retro to
private life in a short time His retire.
ment has a string to it. however, since,
while he declines to consider the posi-
bility of his denomination as mayor of
Detroit and does not seek denomination
to his present position, he leaves the
inference very plain to all who are con-
cerned, that he might be beguiled into
asserting his candidacy for federal Office
If it were sufficiently exalted. But Pfngree
will never become president Nor is he
in position even to assert his claims as
political legatee of his late partner as
candidate for United States senator.
The example Of Gen. Alger ought not
to be lost on Gov. Iingree It is highly
doubtful even whether he could ever sue
coed in rising to the heights Of securing
votes in a presidential convention Of his
own or any other party. His business
affairs, he assures the country, have been
neglected. The highest duty, public as
we'll as private, which he can now dis
charge is to devote himself exclusively
at the earliest possible moment to his
extensive private business interests. He
should hasten to join his former partner
in retirement The state Of Michigan can
evidently worry along without the services
of either of these patriots in its public
concerns, and the United States will evil
IDENTIFY have to do So

progress of the community
There can be no doubt that the Demo-
Gratis of st. Paul will in their next city
convention declare for such consolidation.
All good citizens, apart from the office
holding populati ton, will concur in such
proposal The practical question is how
the end can be accomplished and what
constant and earnest efforts are possible
to the community to bring about the re-
suit The G o b will advocate 1t i'll its
columns The Democrats of the community
will ratify the suggestion of the G o e

little can be effected. The necessary pub
lie sentiment must be created if it does
not exist: and the issue can at least be
made foremost in the approaching city
election.
We here in this city and county are the
victims of conspiracy of office-holding
and office-seeking politicians. We have
been Its victims for years. We have been,

sp1racy has been organized and is main

such as he and the other men in the

minds to such problems are able to con-

to do something to relieve the present in
