EXCHANGE OF ISLANDS.

A proposition to exchange the Philip
pines for British possessions in the
| West Indies was sent from Washing
ton City a few weeks ago to the New
York Herald. Other papers printed it,
but finally denial was sent out from
official quarters, saying that no such
exchange had ever been contemplated.
Then some OF our exchanges said that
the story was one of imagination and
had probably originated with Mr.. Ben
nett's Washington correspondent.
But this matter has been discussed
ever since the capture of Manila. On
the 3rd of May, 1898, the New York
Mail and Express, in a leading editor
ial, said:
Great Britain is friendly and COM
PLEASANT today. but the Venezuela in
cident shows how suddenly a war cloud
may obscure the sun of Britains favor.
More important to US even than the
freedom of Cuba, and the expulsion of
Spain from Porto Rico, would be our
possession of the Bermudas, the Ba-
hamas, Jamaica and the other British
islands in the West Indies.
All these are within our sphere of
influence. They are all necessary to
the proper protection of our Atlantic
frontier. And SO long as these frown-
ing and almost impregnable fortifica-
tons remain in foreign hands they will
be constant menace to our future.
Here is our opportunity. We do not
want the PbiIinnines Great britain
does. We do need the British West
Indies. Great Britain cherishes them,
also, and would not surrender them
without many pang; but would not
the Philippines, greater, much richer,
far more valuable than any other pos
sible foothold on the Asiatic coast,
tempt her to make this sacrifice?"

CALAMITY GALORE.

Our chivalrous morning contemporary
is engaged in spirited warfare upon
the women of the Democratic club Of
this city.
1t seems to be right in its element
now, and it requires all that stored
California chivalry we have all heard
SO much about to enable it to grace
fully misrepresant the ladies, contra
dict their signed statement, refuse them
space for refutation of its falsehoods
concerning them, and finally to declare
that one of their number made repre-
sensations to it at variance with those
she actually made above her signature.
To thus try tic shift the blame for
its own gossip to the shoulders of one
OF the ladies present at the meeting. in
dicates a loftiness of purpose that
makes one dizzy to gaze upon, and its
refusal to give space, even at advertis-
ing rates, to a contradiction from ladies
it had mistreated and misrepresented.
reveals an order of gallantry not often
found in this wild and woolly west.

DANGER FROM THE TRUSTS.

New trusts are being formed at the
rate Of about twenty per week.
The total capital combined in trusts
during the arst three months of the
present year is a little over $4,000, 900, =
GOO
Under McKinley's administration
these institutions have sprung up like
mushrooms. They are cornering the
supply, limiting the demand and rails
ing the prices in their respective lines
of work.
They are in violation of the law, but
no federal official will say so. They
are admittedly in restraint of trade.
The Republicans made law in 1890
which declared such combinations
criminal; then they turned around and
made another law which fostered and
encouraged them.
Their growth and multiplication have
been so rapid of late that the banks
are becoming alarmed.
This NAV have the effect to check
the craze a bit If they are given to
understand that capital will not be at
the disposal of the organizers, then the
business of promotion will have to come
to an end of itself.
While the banks have not furnished
all the money needed in the fiotations
upon the securities of these immense
concerns they have had to finance
them. Resulting speculation has carried

BRYAN AND THE ISSUES.

Colonel Bryan's speech at Milwaukee
on Jefferson day may be taken as the
keynote of the campaign of 1900
1t was a bold speech, an able speech,
and a patriotic speech. 1t was just
such a speech as Bryan might be ex-
pected to make.
He never lodges an issue. He ex-
cuses and paliates nothing. He runs
away from no opposition. He turns his
back upon no conviction.
The orator knows what he means to
say and says it. Nor can any man
mistake his meaning. He understands
the needs of the people and his inter
est is centered in them. The Chicago
platform is just as appropriate and
timely now as it was in 1896, and by the
doctrine it embraces he still stands.
The challenge of the goldbug is accept
ed and the fight will be made again
for Democratic principles against plu-
tocratic insolence.
Because an issue is defeated at the
polls the first time it is submitted to
the people is no excuse for weakening.
And, while there will be other issues,
while trusts and protection to them
will have to be fought and territorial
expansion and wars of conquest will
be discussed, and army scandals Will
be exposed, and Hannaism will be de-
nounced, the silver issue viii be para
mount and the Chicago platform up
held.
AS Bryan says: mo step taken in
1896 shall be retraced."

COPPER SUPPLY AND DEMAND.

talization of these trusts. As rule the
preferred stock represents ALL and even
more than all, of the actual property of
the concern; and this is covered by
bonds. So the common stock generally
represents the outlook upon which the
syndicate depends.
1t was an epidemic of trusts that
resulted in a monetary panic in Ger
many not long ago. And the same cause
threatens the United States with SINH
lar effects. Unless something is done
to stop this business there viii be a
season of contraction, a lot of failures,
a number of lockouts and a great deal
of suffering within two years.

Saved One Profit.

But the secret is out and those who have
been mystifed here have an explanation.
This morning d rather large, good look
ing woman. dressed in drab street gown
and wearing eyeglasses, with a long gold
chain attached, entered a produce estab-
liShment and with conservative manner
said she wanted to buy five dozen eggs.
Presently the clerk to whom she had

purchase explained in an apologize tone
that the count was one egg short-only
four dozen and eleven We're in the store
at the time. He was Very sorry, but on

Just then the clerk heard the loud cack-
ling of a hen in the window. An inspir-
alton seized him. Calling a cash boy he
hurriedly gave whispered order and the
boy hastily disappeared. while the clerk
engaged his customer in conversation.
I have just sent for another egg,
madam; will you waltz
The large woman said she would but
was becoming somewhat impatient when
the cash boy reappeared and whispered to
the clerk:
She amt laid it yet"
But the hen, probably realizing that the
terrified clerks job depended upon her,
was kind. and the cash boy finally pro-
cured the much-wanted egg
All here you are, madam, said the
clerk. Direct from maker to consumer.
You save one profit. Always fresh on the
slightest provocation. madam
The large woman didn't know whether
to be mad or not, and left the store think

Ii VIII not go out Of fashion because it
saves times and money, and gives
health and recreation.
The wheel has already worked re-
forms in society. It has brought the
American people out Of doors. In this
particular it has accomplished more
than any other form of outdoor ex-
ercise. American business men and
women used to take no more exercise
than was absolutely necessary. IN
fact, that which they took was inciden-
tai to their work, or altogether mad
vertant But all that IS changed. Men
and women so about their business on
wheels. They go visiting in the same
way. They take occasional spins just
for fun. And the consequence is they
are growing more robust ana less ner-
vous and irritable.
This spring the advantages seem to
be greater than ever. Bicycles have
been brought to a high state of perfec-
ton, and they are offered at a better
price than heretofore.
The wheel is recommended to every
man, woman and child who can learn
to ride. 1t is especially recommended

time. It provides recreation and health.
and is one Of the sUrest ways Of keep

When the night grows keen and chilly,

Before the open CRATE 1 sit and muse upon

A brter pipe between my teeth, the smell
of fragrant weed,
The old dog snoozing at my feet-Heigho
that's all l need.
Then, ah the dreams, the rosal dreams,
the airy dreams that rise,
The dreams of flowing waters and the
dreams of sunny skies
Fair faces peer down at me from the
mantel wrapt in Slooh,
And visions of sweet loneliness go
waV' ring through the room.
Brown eyes as deep and placid as the
pools in woodland ways,
Blue eyes that watch the heavens in the
cloudless Summer days;
Hair like the wheat that ripens to a rich
and ruddy gold,
And treSseS dark as e'er the shroud by
silent night controlled.
vermillion lips to close on mine, and
cheeks of deepest rose,
Wise SapphOs and AspasiaS with the
classic chin and nose;
MinerVa'S brow. Diana's form, and
Helen'S wondrouS grace,
And past me with u perfume vague the
willowy woodnymphs race.
And, oh! the castles that arise in yonder
wreaths of smoke,
The stately parks and gardens with their
vine and spreading oak,
All minel All mine! My very own, with
but the dog to share,
All building out of idle dreams here in
the trelght's glare!
Away with grim reality! Away with pail
ing life!
Away with worldly voices and the cark
of care and strifei
What if my castles be of smoke and
laughed to scorn by men?
I've only to relight my pipe and rear
them up againl
For, oh, the castles real that fall they
never more can rise,
And DER their ruins we must stand with
aching heart and eyes!
The hopeless love, the loveleSs hope, and
Fortunes titful CLEANS
Are never known to enter in my world of
idle dreams!
So let me sit and dream and dream, the
dog there at my feet,
An incense how ring Ger my pipe, my soul
in genial heat,
And let me love my loves in dreams, for
then there is no pang
So with my pipe, the dog. and grate-Oh,
