Statute of President Arthur.

New York, June 1O.-Not long
after ex-President Chester A.
Arthur died fund was started
among his friends to erect statute
in his memory. So little noise was
made over the work that it sank
out of the sight of the general pub
lie and no doubt many persons will
be surprised to hear that the statue
will be unveiled in Madison square
next Tuesday afternoon. When
subscriptions had reached $25, 1000
the committee deemed the sum
sufficient and gave the order for a
bronze statue to George L. Bissel,
the sculptor. The statue repre-
sents Gen. Arthur seated, with eye
glasses in one hand, book in the
other.

SAMPLE TRUST BENEvoLENcE.

Nearly every trust that is organized
inserts In its prospectus the familiar
pretense that Its purpose is not to
raise prices, but to secure ECONOMY
In production"
The cheapness of Standard oil is Of.
ten cited as an illustration of the phil
anthropic mission of the trusts. But,
says the New York World, inasmuch
as half a dozen men have made for
tunes aggregating four or five hundred
millions out of illuminating oil, is 1t
not evident that oil might have been
sold much cheaper at a reasonable
profit?
Two current cases of trust benevo-
lence afford a timely lesson. This is
from the Philadelphia Ledger, an in
dependent Republican paper:
"The Duncansville Nail Works, re.
Gently sold to the American Steel Wire
Nail Company, is ABOUT to suspend op-
erations indefinitely ,depriving large
force of wOrkmen of employment
The Nail Trust has made another ad-
vance OF Is cents ii keg, so that small
lots are quoted ut $3.50 cents keg, or
S46 ton"
The Ledger also says that
A'SSp VI wa PiHoO "i % oOulillR,
have risen to such an extent that, ac-
cording to information received In
Pittsburg, New York dealer has or.
dered 10000 boxes from Wales, which
he can afford to sell In competition
with the American product. Inas-
much as the tariff on tin plate is high
ly protective, the trust has apparently
gone to extremes ia its exaction upon
consumers
Our conservative contemporary de-
clares that "the trusts are but carry
Ing out the purposes for which they
were organized-namely, to constitute
a monopoly, to restrict production, to
dispense with the service of labor as
far as possible, to enhance prices and
to pay dividends on inflated capitallz-
alton"
The remedy suggested Is a suspen-
sion or removal of the duty on all ar
ticles controlled by a trust or other
monopoly. But fancy a Republican
Congress doing this! Where would the
campaign contributions come from?

rwo SERVANTS OF rHr PEOPLE.


The President OF the United States
cares for the national concern of 75,.
W6000 people, says the New York
York journal.
He has about 100000 employees,
civil and military, under his control.
lie commands an army of 10o. COO men,
ani the fourth navy in the world He
Is head of postal service that en-
IlOys more workers than any railroad
in America. He disposes of revenue
Sufficient to buy out trust every
month. He appoints judges and has
authority over great scientific bureaus.
II" Is the head of gigantic gun factor
.cs. arsenals and ship yards. He runs
the greatest library in the United
States and the greatest printing office
In the world. He keeps hotels and is
just winding up an extensive saloon
business. He hires large staff of
extensive scale. He superlntends
fal ms and sells sealskins. Ua deepens
rivers and harbors, digs and operates
canals. keeps up lighthouses blows up
derelicts at sea and saves lives on the
coast He has astronomers, geologists,
stographers, ethnologists, cntomolo-
glsts ichthyologists, BIOLOGISTS orni-
thologists, photographers and meteo-
rologists on his pay roll. He examines
into the moral character of immi-
grants and foretells the weather.
For all these and innumerable other
duties and responsibilities the Presi-
dent of the United States receives
100000 year. Some people think he
is overpaid; nobody proposes to in
crease his salary. The President has
not asked for any increase and no
one has yet declined the Office on the
ground that the pay is too small.
Mr.. John ID. Rockefeller Is paid
Sl2,OOO,OOO year for keeping up the
price of oil, iron and steel. We may
call this an income from property, but
1t Is not--it is payment from taxa
tlon, Just as much as the salary of the
President. The trusts from which
Mr.. Rockefeller derives his income are
as stricuy taxing agencies as the GUS
tom houses. The only difference Is
that the taxes collected by the custom
houses are applied to public purposes
and those collected by the trusts are
pocketed by the capitalists.
Mr.. Rockefeller's salary, paid by the
American people is two hundred and
forty times that of the President of
the United States. Is the President
paid too little or Mr.. Rockefeller too
much?

LINCoLN'S ANXIETY.

Abraham Lincoln said at the close
OF the civil war: 81 see in the near
future crisis approaching that un-
nerves me and causes me to tremble
for the safety of my country. AS a
result of the war. corporations have
been enthroned and an era of corrup-
tion in high places will follow, and the
money power of the country will en-
deavor to prOlong its reign by work
Ing upon the prejudices Of the people
until all wealth is aggregated in few
hands and the republic is destroyed
feel at this moment more anxiety for
the safety of the country than ever
before, even in the midst of war.,'

GENESIS, GREED-MAsK, PATRIOTISM

Regarding the Hanna Payne ship
ping bill, Samuel Adams Robinson has
this to say: Please note that we used
to favor American ships only on what
they actually carried. This bill pro
poses to pay them not for what they
carry, or for what they could carry,
but for their gross tonnage, which in
cludes all their machinery, COAL etc,
the full measured capacity of the
ships; in short, to pay them roundly
for every mile they move themselves.
How long would our people submit to
the Governments selling bonds to pay
these subsidies? But how could they
help themselves when their Congress-
men had mortgaged even the right
of eminent domain to the corporations
owning the ships, and the mortgage
was for thirty years.
"The genesis of this bill is greed, its
mask enterprise and patriotism, and
its purpose monopoly. No foreign
built or foreign-manned ship should
be subsidized with American money.
If ships must be subsidized, let them
he Amerlcan-built and American
manned, and let the law give all citi-
zens of the United States equal oppor-
tunity."

Street Fair Boomers
REPRESENTATIVE Of The GAINESVILLE
Lodge Of Elks We're in Our City
Last Friday.

The GAINESVILLE Lodge of Elks, un-
der whose auspices the GAINESVILLE
Street Fair Is to be held, adopted
one of the most unique forms OF
advertising that event that has
been witnessed upon our streets.
They have costumed Messrs George
Wing and Harry Waters of the
Clay City to represent the charac-
ters of broken-down "Dago" and
an overgrown South African
"Monkey". These two worthless
appear upon the public thorough
fare and go through antics that
have the effect of drawing the at
tention of the public to the placards
that they bear upon their backs
setting forth the advisability of at.
tending the many attractions to be
witnessed in GAINESVILLE during the
Carnival week of June 10th to oath.
The GAINESVILLE Street Fair gives
promise this year of out-shining
all previous attempts in this line.
The Executive Committee have
been untiring in their efforts and
have spared no expense in seeing
that the attractions that will greet
the visitors to GAINESVILLE during
that period, are of such a character
as will not only entertain and de-
light, but in many instances in
struct those who witness them.
From the standpoint of an in
dustrisl exhibit the Fair will ex-
ceed that given by the same organi-
zation last year. The merchants
and manufacturers are all taking
an exceptional interest in seeing
that the displays are of character
that will set forth to the very best
advantage the products of the mer-
camille and manufacturing institu-
tions of this important city of
Southeastern Ohio.
THE MIDWAY
This feature of the GAINESVILLE
Street Fair and Carnival to be held
on the above dates is of the same
character and proportions as that
given at Chicago during the famous
Worlds Fair. The attractions will
consist of Trained Wild Animal
Show, an American Village, a Ger
man village, Congress of National
Dancing Girls, Japanese Theatre
and Moorish and Oriental Village
and Theatre. There will also be
the famous Streets of India with
its Elephants, Camels, Magicians,
Sacred Donkeys, Burros, Twirling
Dancers, Fakirs, Native Huts and
in feet every feature that goes to
complete typical street of the
Oriental Cities.
In addition to these entertaining
features above enumerated there
will be scores of others that will
cause those who witness to stand
in amazement. The railroads will
name exceptionally low rates from
every available point.

PENNSYLVANIA WINS
intercollegiate Boat Race an
Exciting Event.
WISCONSIN WAS A CLOSE SECOND.
In the Lead Until Near the Finish
Line mud Lost Through BAD
Stcering-CorncII and CO.
Jumbia Far Behind.

POUGHKEEPSIE n. V, June 2S.-
Twenty thousand people saw one of the
most exciting four mile boat races ever
witnessed in the history of college row.
ing. Five thousand people on the obscr-
vation train yelled themselves hoarse in
frantic appeals to their various college
crews to do their best. and with the 9TH
er 10000 they saw the red and blue car
rcd over the line, n winner by n short
half length from the Wisconsin crew,
who lost it in the last 200 yards by bad
steering. Cornell, the victor of former
years, pulled after. good four lengths
in the rear, and Columbia. never in the
fight after the end of the first mile. trail
ed in n good three lengths from the stern
of the Cornell boat.
IL was the kind of n racc that makes
the blood tingle in the veins and the
nerves become tense under the excite
ment, and these elements were injected
into the race by the crew that came over
1,O00 miles to meet former victors. for
without the gallant Wisconsins in the
race il would have been doleful process
sion after the second mile was entered.
To say that there was surprise on the
observation train and in the great
crowds upon the banks when the Wiscon-
sin shell swept mile after mile of the
course until the last half was reached
with clear lead upon all the crews is
putting it mildly. When the people on
the bank were unable to place the stran-
ger crew, they looked toward the obser
walton train inquiringly and We're told
that it was Wisconsin ahead. They were
almost dumb with amazcment. and when
those on the train saw the gallant strug-
al. nil tl,,t,.
appeals for their own crews and yelled
in friendly manner for the boys from the
west. The alleged ragged stroke, the bad
ly keeled boat, the too long reach, all
were forgotten as the fasty moving craft
kept its sharp nose to the fore, and then
saw them turn out toward the shore at
the finish and lose the race to the men
from Pennsylvania by short half
length.
And Pennsylvania, well did they obey
the injunction of Ellis Ward to not lose
their heads. From the first eighth of Il
mile they rowcd Il stern, hard chase, at
one time being astern of both Cornell and
Wisconsin. but their pluck and endur
ance sent them over the line n winner in
good time and by such small margin
that the glory is greater For Cornell,
the winner of many battles, it proved to
be a race only in two miles. For those
first two miles she did gallant work, but
she was struggling against evidently bet
ter crews and it was only with eXertions
of a phenomenal nature that she man
aged to keep the nose of her boat ahead
of Pennsylvania for brief time in the
second mile. or Columbia it may be said
that she was outclassed from the start,
and, barring an accident, there was never
any time that she stood chance Of win
ming the race. She went to the rear in
the first quarter of n mile, although she
made n good start, and staid there all
through the race.
