The people of Guildhall are all inter

of the celebration of the centennial Of
the Congregational church, which occurs
next Thursday, September II, when
very many Of the former residents will
return there, all anxious to make the
occasion one long to be remembered. In
anticipation of the event the church
building has been newly painted. Four
teen memorial stained glass windows are
being made by leading artists in that
work in New England, and are daily eX-
pected. Many of the old familiar names
will be found on these windows, includ-

to be advancing the historical and social
interests of its localities. And coming
nearer home lively interest is being
manifested in celebrating yirtuous mcr-
It's and achievements of one OF our own
localities. Guildhall was once the cen
tral point of that section OF the Connect
cut valley in which it is located. Seventy
five or one hundred wears ago much
intelligence and enterprise We're focused
there. The business and the legal inter
estS of large community tourShed in
that vicinity. For century the courts
have been holden there. The best legal
talent in Vermont and New Hampshire
have been exercised there. Men like
Gen. Cushman. Daniel Dana. John S.
Wells, John NJ. TillotSon, VIM. Hey

men have given it much character 1t

county; a county inhabited hv strong
and vigorous men; such men as the
Hibbards and the Darlings in the south.

Holbrooks. Weeks and Judd as well as
the Blodgetts in the more northern sec
ton. Late years as the lines of travel
have changed Guildhall Instead Of being
the centre has gradually grown more III
cidental to other places. but its progress
and history has decreased only in COM
parison with other places. 1t has always
been enterpriSing and historic. 1t has
produced long line of able diyincs
whose work has been highly creditable
and many of whom have attained emf
hence in the ministry. The members of
the churches there have not been eX-
ceedinglv numerous hut they have been
men and women of high character and
standing. and the church organizations
have been sound aud healthy. But al
though the locality has been connected
with the general public and especially
the State in manner and matters highly
important, it probably has the least
written history of any town in the State
which possesses so much material out OF
which to make history. Probably the
oldest institutions in the town are the
Congregational society and church, and
the courts. We are not informed which
is the more ancient, but think they are
nearly contGmpOraneouS each being one
hundred years old, making this most
fitting time for the Congregationalists
to celebrate their centennial, which they
purpose to do with much interest and
eclat at Guildhall on the l4th inst.

IT is not strange that We have not
yet found an adequate remedy for the
existing state of affairs with regard to
trusts. It just ten years since the
wave of great Industrial combinations
began to sweep over the country and
up to four or five years ago writer's on
economic and political questions had
barely touched on the problem, 30 lit
tie was known of its character. 1t
was not until 1894 and 1895, after the
anti-trust,provision of the Mckinley
tariff law had been repealed by the
democrats and an utterly Ineffective
make shift substituted, that the ques-
ton began to assume the proportions
of national issue. AS the
democrats again prevented the
insertion of az adequate anti trust pro-
vision in the Dingley tariff law, the
MULTIPLICATION of trusts has been prac-
tically unrestricted up to this time, and
the tendency of the age for capital to
combine in greater and greater
amounts has developed withoutdirection
or control. Now, nothing can be gained
by trying to make partisan issue out
OF the situation. It requires careful
concerted action on the part of
the state Legislatures and the national

SENATOR CHANDLER says the trusts

SENATOR CHANDLER says the trusts
will indeed be an issue of the mex:
campaign, but that declarations against
them will be made by both parties
and the real fight will come in the
state legislatures. He says the way to
reach them is by state laws, and one
suggestion he makes is worthy OF
more than passing notice. He pro-
poses that each legislature enact law
making it Illegal for foreign corpora
tions to do business in the state, thus
making it necessary for corporations
to get q charter in each state in which
they desire to do business, the statesko
determine what sort of concerns they
shall incorporate and what kind they
shall refuse to charter. The senator
suggests also that the law provide
severe penalties for combina-
tions of corporations or IT,
dividuals to raise the price of
commodities, and would also have it
made serious offense for any manu-
facturer or dealer to get possession of
any plant which does not belong strict
~ to his particular line of business.
The last proposal of the senator is ut
terly absurd. Such tampering with
the rights of individuals to acquire and
hold whatever property they desire
would be clearly unconstitutional, and
would not hold in law for a moment.
The second suggestion is in line with
all the legislation of the various states
fo. oh Los
effectiveness has been the chief char
acteristic of all such legislation. But
the first proposition Is apparently en-
tirely practical, and would, If carried
out in all the states, no doubt operate
to control the trusts effectively or crush
them. Most all the trusts are incor-
porated in the state of New Jersey, a
few in West Virginia or elsewhere. In
the first named state the terms
are pnrposely made SO very favor
able that all the great and vic
ious combinations of corporations
are attracted there, aud the state
makes large part of its living out OF
the fat fees the robbers pay for the Ii
cense to plumber. There Is nothing to
compel the various states to accept
New Jersey charter from company
desiring to do business therein, the
practice being based on interstate
courtesy. If one state or two or three
should determine to shut out the trusts
by refusing them permission to do
business it would hurt the state more
than 1t would the trusts. But by con-
certed action it is more than probable
that such pressure could be brought to
bear on the most vicious of the corpor
ations that they would be glad to COM
ply with salutary regulations and re-
strictions in order to live.

in this country by them and their
friends could have the slightest effect
on the situation in the Philippines, be-
ing directed solely to the administra-

to reprint short paragraph from q
late article in the Review of Reviews,
written by man who saw these
things with his own eyes. Says this
writer:
EVERY discordaut note that was
struck in America was telegraphed or
written to either Hong Kong or Ma
Mia and found its way by fret oppor-
tunity to the camps of the Filipino
army and to the columns of the native
press. Not satisfied with the circuls-
tion given by the newspapers, what
was being said and done in America
was printed in circular and pamphlet
form and sent among the people to en-
courage them. If the senator from
Massachusetts could have witnessed
the satisfaction Denoted on the face
of every Filipino soldier when he read
the sentiments expressed by that dis
tinguished man in the halls Of congress
and then have seen the pain upon the
face of every American soldier when
he realized that a United States sena-
tor was thus inspiring the enemy, am
of the opinion that he would have ex-
perienced some feeling of regret at the
direct effect of his argument"
