Elbridge T. Gerry, of the Gerry S. P.
G. c., of New York, is so truly good a
man that he can't bear to see children
earning money by few minutes light
exercise on the stage, yet score Of
children and women persisted miser-
ably in his Windsor hotel firetrap be-
cause this same benevolent Mr.. Gerry
thought too much of his millions to
expend a small portion in rendering
his hotel building safe, although he
was fully aware of it's unsafe nature
and had been besought by those to
whom he rented it to make it safe. To
save a trifle, however, he preferred to
constantly imperil the lives of hun
dreds.

WHAT Is THE PHiLiPPlNE sIrUA-

We suppose news censor at Manila
who distorts the truth in our favor is
a necessity OF war, though his value is
not quite apparent to the lay mind,
but it would be relief to the Amer
lean people to know the exact truth
of the situation in the Philippines.
The particles of truth that have es-
capped the censors' vigilance have not
been reassuring.
A correspondent sending his matter
to the cable station at Hong Kong to
avoid censorship pays high tribute
to the operation of Wheaton's flying
brigade in going against forces of I'M
known strength in the jungles, but ex-
presses the belief of some of the OIL
GERS at Manila that 10000 additional
men are needed to bring the rebels TO
terms, as the present force is barely
Manila
This is decidedly different from the
tales we have been fed on of late to
the effect that the war is practically
at an end, that Aguinaldo is having
hard work to hold his people in line
and is on the verge OF surrender. 1t
reminds one forcibly of the bald yarns
the Spanish government used to feed
its people during the recent war, and
for which suppression of the truth it
was SO roundly censured in this coun-
try.

Here Is ! pretty complete answer
and from ! trade paper published tor
the benefit Of business men mostly IN
| the iron and steel business, to the trust
organs plea that trusts would exist
under any tariff conditions and only
statutes prohibiting their existence
would stop the matter" 1t is safe to
say the trust organ knows better THAI
that.
Furthermore, the claim that anti
trust laws will stop the trusts is far
cical. Where is the trust that ever
was abolished by an antitrust law!
There have been several attempts to
enforce those statutes-honest at
tempts, such as that now being made
by Attorney General Monnett, OF Ohio,
| who, by, the way, doesn't belong IN
his party-but the trusts have done
little more than laugh at the futile
efforts of the courts to bring them to
book and have openly defied the law
and it's officers, as the Standard is now
doing.
i The Engineering Journal is right
when it says the best way to fight the
trusts is to abolish their protection.
| Competition will do instantly what the
courts have never been able to do.
This is not new suggestion. 1t was
made when the trust evil first began
to be seriously felt IN this country.
And it is as true now as it ever was,
the falsehood and sophistry of the trust
organs to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Where would be the Tin Plate
Trust, which threatens this commune
ty with dismantled mills, where would
be scores of other similar combines,
were it not for the protection of the
exorbitant tariff? Without that arti-
! fetal aid whereby they are enabled to
extort unearned, unjust and unlawful
profits from the American consumer
| these combines could not maintain
their exorbitant charges a day, in
which event their combination would
naturally fall to pieces and individual
enterprise be left to ITSELF
The abolition of the trusts would be
the greatest blessing that could befall
not only the American consumer but
American industry, and in no city in
the country would a greater sense of
relief be felt at the emancipation than
in our own city of Wheeling, whose
magnificent and thoroughly establish
ed industries have been one by one
absorbed by trust combinations until
there are few important lines left sub
ject to local control and the situation
has become one of serious menace

it is unfortunate that the breach be-

an increase of bitterness and bad feel

DOMESTIC SCIENCE.


Domestic science as a study is a new
and distinct departure along educa-
tional lines, and whoever might have
Instituted it is worthy the gratitude of
every home. Instruction along that
particular line has been lacking most
lamentably in the educational institu-
tons in America heretofore. AS an
evidence Of the very great interest that
has been taken in the subject, it is nee
essary only to cite the extensive ar
arrangements that are being planned by
the New York and Chicago Domestic
Science association for the fall and
winter. The advertising columns of
the daily papers furnish ample evil
dence of the great problem involved in
the question of securing suitable help.
and that will furnish the chief subject
Of their discussion. Worcester has
mountains of troubles OF her own in
that direction. Once that problem is
solved much of The haziness in regard
to domestic affairs will be cleared up.
When, instead of the Cook" and the
second girl" the domestic, trained
and graduated in her art, as the trained
nurse of today is In hers, takes her
place, she will receive all the respect
now accorded to her sister who holds
clerical position in store or office. OF
course, there will always be more or
less of line drawn between domestics
and the family, but as that is also
drawn in business between merchant
and clerk, employer and employe Of all
stations, as a rule, there can be no vail
i'd objections on that score. Some phil
anthropist will yet endow a college of
domestic science, a course in which.
after completing her studies at Vassar
or Wellesley or Smith, will be regarded
as necessary to the rounded education
Of every girl who expects to be "a
queen in the kingdom of the home" 1t
is to be regretted that domestic duty is
so little understood and so Ill appre-
ciated In reality 1t is not so much the
kind of service that a man or a woman
does that entities him or her to respect,
as the spirit and manner in which it is
done. Visitors to Boston, for instance,
are shown the grave at the corner of a
Boston common of the originator of a
famous soup. Kings have been known
to treat with distinguished courtesy a
chef who could prepare dishes as a

ANNOUNCEMENT.

Strong interests in the west, in which
the writer has much at stake, and
which two years ago seemed destined
to remain dormant for long time, have
within the past few months so revived
as to call for a large share of his at
tention. To give them the care they
demand, and at the same time bestow
fitting attention upon his holdings in
connection with The Spy, has come to
be almost impossible. Consequently, it
has seemed fitting to relinquish
the latter to other hands, and today
this fine property goes into younger and
wholly capable control
To know that the paper has more
than half as many again paid subscrib-
ers as it possessed fifteen months ago,
and from 60 to so per cent more adver-
Using; to know that it has further en-
deared itself to a constituency whose
good opinion is a thing to be envied
and cherished: to know that it is a
vastly better piece of property now than
then, and that it is today one of the
very best in any city of its class in
the country, goes far toward mitigating
the regrets at relinquishing its control.
When to all this is added the further
assurances that the same high minded
and capable business management, and
much of the same jealous and efficient
editorial and other assistance, is to re-
main, saying goodbye may be painful,
but it is softened with the certainty
that The Spy is destined to retain
every old friend in Worcester county
and elsewhere, and to keep on adding to
its splendidly growing list of new ones.
Never to lose sight of the admirable
old Spy, and never to forget or be for
gotten by Worcester, would not seem
to be an unreasonable wish. At least,
it is the sincere one of

Israel Zangwill admits that his imag-

scheme for the repeopllng of Palestine
by the Jews, but he does not allow his
Imagination to run away with his COM

the way. For mere colonization minus
a political idea, go anywhere but to
Palestine" he says, and then proceeds
to enlarge upon the half-arid and half
malarial character Of the country, and
the indlsJosition Of the Hebrews to
farm labor. But the greatest obstacle
to the Zionist plan is the utter absence
of political motive. A people animated
by an absorbing love of liberty or any
other great controlling idea, might
make the desert blossom as the rose
but The sentiment which inspires even
the most enthusiastic OF Zionists IS at

HOW TO ATTAIN HEALTH.
Strength, Grace and Beauty AS Taught

The study of grace is for the perfIc-

at nothing less than the loftiest ideal

Gen. Otis recent refusal to enter in
to peace negotiations with Aguinaldo's
commissioners will naturally excite the
anti-McKinley organs to fresh hys-
terra, but the administration knows
what it is about. Peace is the one de-
sideratum, but it must be peace with
out pretence or deceit. When the Fill
Pine chieftain makes overtures that
honestly promise submission and a
cessation of hostilities there will be no
hesitation in accepting them. Gen. Otis
must have learned by this time how
to recognize tricks and devices that are
intended only for gaining time and
advantage.

THE YACHT RACE.

Today the Shamrock and Columbia
are scheduled to sail their first race
for the possession of the America
cup Judged as a piece of bric-a-brac,
the prize is far excelled by trophies
offered in many another contest, but
sentimentally and internationally, it is
more to be desired than they all. Not
one of the previous races was begun
under circumstances so amicable and
suspicious as the present and there is
especial cause for congratulation in
the attitude of the respective yachts
has conducted himself in a manner to
win the esteem of his competitors and
the entire American people, and all
will wish for him, as we'll as for
their own favorite, fair field and inn
munity from untoward accidents. Am-
erican money, hopes and ardent desires
are staked on the Columbia, but we
want her victory to be no fluke, but a
decisive exhibition of superior construc-
ton and seamanship. Greater care
has been taken this year than ever to
make the conditions of the face as free
as possible from interference, and en-
barrassment, and Earring accidents, the
prospect is for the most exciting contest
yet made for the historic cup. At the
same time, 1t is to be remembered that
the race is as much test of naval
construction as of seamanship and
speed, for the contestants have agreed
that the breaking of spars or rigging
or vessel itself, shall not be accounted
foul, but the race must go on as be-
fore.
