The Kataer Laughed.

A very funny incident took place on the
occasion of the Kaiser's recent visit to
Cassel. The general in command of the
division, anxious 10 give a royal welcome
to his sovereign, had instructed his Of
ficers and men that the moment they saw
him wave either his saber or even his
hands above his head they were to start
cheering, while the massed bands were to
intone he national anthem. The general
is very short-sighted. Suddenly the gates
of the palace opened and an officer APP
peared on horseback. The general, con-
WINGED that it was the Emperor, waved
his hand in the air. At once all the bands
started the national anthem, while the 90
900 or more troops present began to cheer.
Only when the amazed officer got near
the general did the latter realize that it
was not the Emperor, but one of his or
derlies, who had come for the purpose of
announcing that the Monarch would ar
rive upon the scene about ten minutes
later.
The commanding general at once set to
work to stop both the music and the
cheering But the more he gesticulated
with his hands and the more he shouted
the more convinced were his officers and
men that he was encouraging them to in
creased loyalty. The din was perfectly
appalling, and when at length the EN-
peror arrived he found the general purple
in the face and on the verge of apoplexy,
while neither the soldiers nor the must
clans had breath left in their bodies. The
Kaiser who has a very keen sense of the
ridiculous, is said to have literally shaken
his sides with laughter.

Anything to Please.

She sailed into the telegraph office,
raped on the counter. The clerk remem-
bered that she had been there about ten
nninuts before as he came forward TO meet
her. He wondered what she wanted this
time. says Golfers Weekly.

handed her the message.

meath the words, and said

done any one good, with the possible ex-
ception of Charley.

now intimated that he wishes to see the

1t is more than doubtful If any of the

TIE VIRGINIA SENATORS AND

II seems that Senator Daniel Of Vlr-
einia is not willing to admit that the re-
ports, which have appeared in dispatches
from Richmond, that he and his senate
rial colleague. Senator Martin, are OPP
posed TO the denomination OF Mr.. Bryan
are IN every particular true. Stnl, he
does not deny that there is some founda-
ton for them He simply says that he has
not been talking for publication, leaving It
to be inferred that the dispatches were in
a measure justified by what he had sal i
in private conversations.
There is one thing that Senator Daniel
does say that is rather significant, ard
that is that he sees nothing encouraging
to Democrats In the recent elections. That
is so different from what Mr.. Bryan says
that II seems to justify the inference that
he does not regard the proposition TO nom
mate Mr. Bryan AGAIN with favor.
There is undoubtedly a growing feeling
Of Indifference in the South to Mr. Bryan.
II the Democrats Of Virginia should show
a disposition to look elsewhere than in
Nebraska for a presidential candidate Il
is highly probable that there would he a
very noticeable movement in other South
ern states 10 do the same thing. The en-
thusiasm for MIR Bryan In Southern cities
has never been so strong that it could not
have been pretty easily turned in another
direction. and now since the cotton inter
es.s are inclined to oppose his Philippine
policy. il would not be difficult to arouse
a pretty strong sentiment outside of the
cities in favor of another candidate.
Senator Daniel is right in saying that
it is too soon vel 70 say what the Demo-
cratic party ought TO do in the matter OF
candidates and issues for the contest of
1900. Many things may happen in the next
six months that win have an important
bearing on the political situation. 1t may
even happen that the Democratic party
viii entertain the belief, before the meet
ing of the Democratic National Conven-
ton, that the nomination of Mr.. Bryan
would not be the wisest one it could make.
That of course would be a most remark
able change in party sentiment, because
at this time everything seems TO be in his
favor

ONE WAY TO CONTROL TRUSTS.

The manager of one of the greatest
trusts in the country, John w. Gates,
manager of the American Steel and Wire
Company, in his testimony before the In
dusiral Commission on Wednesday, said
that he would control trusts by requiring
them to pay a large sum for their fran
chises when the franchises were granted,
and a heavy tax annually, the tax on each
corporatio to increase as its capital In
creased.
The presumption is of course that Mr..
Gates had in mind only franchises granted
by the national government If he meant
those granted by state governments he
could hardly have taken into account the
fact that If his idea were adopted there
would be competition between the states
in the sale of franchises, and that the
competition would bring the price of them
down to about what the corporations
would be willing to pay.
Many of the states are now envious of
New Jersey because her treasury is full to
overlooking of money gathered from
trusts. 1t seems that Delaware has made
a bid for the business of granting char
tiers to corporations. Her laws in respect
to such charters are now about as liberal
as those of New Jersey. if not more so.
If New Jersey wishes to retain the bust
ness she will have TO amend her laws in
all probability
If the national government should under
take to control big trusts in the way pro-
posed by Mr.. Gates, it would first have to
get a constitutional amendment authoriz-
ing it to take charge of all trusts. A
great trust could afford to pay any price
for a franchise the government might ask,
and as large an annual tax because it
would have such an immense capital that
it could defy competition, and charge
whatever prices it pleased No doubt Mr..
Gates has given this subject a great deal
of thought, but has he discovered the true
remedy for trusts? 1t is safe to say that
he has not.

An Endless Chain.

Some weeks ago, says me Memphis
Scimitar, a gentleman left a small pack
age at the home of a young lady upon
whom he was making his first call. She
wrote him a note telling him he had left
it, He wrote her one telling her it was
some edibles, and that she might appro~
pirate it to her own use She wrote again
TO express her appreciation. He replied
to express his apprecia ton of her appre-
citation. She retaliated with an expression
of her appreciation Of mis- appreciation of
her appreciation.
At the present time the expression of ap-
probation is going forward in arithmetical
progression as the letters multiply and as
they contain something a little more Sc
rious In its nature there promises to be
some very interesting complications re-
sulting from a correspondence, presumably
for the expression of appreciation.

Guilty of securing jury to try him? For
months and months some of the papers
have dished up "Molineux" daily in all
sorts Of sensational stories, for the delec-
tation of the degenerate appetite to which
they pander. Indeed, the defendant has
been tried in the newspapers, and their
conclusions with respect TO him have been
iterated and reiterated until probably not

Sir william Crookes, inventor of the

theory. He has been investigating the
worlds wheat supply, and his researches
have led him to the conclusion that if the
bread-eating population continues to in
crease at its present rate, there will not
be in the world thirty years hence enough
wheat-producing land to supply the bread
eaters. His belief. il is said is supported
by Mr.. c. Wood Davis of Kansas, an an-
thority in food statistics, and by Hon.
