GEN. GRANTS PROPHECY.
Postmaster General smith Was the
Orator at GnIenn.


Galena, Ill, April 1.-THE annual oele-
bration of the birthday of Gen. Grant was
held here to-day. Special trains were run
from points in Iowa, Wisconsin and Him
DIS and brought thousands of people to
witness the exercises. Postmaster General
Smith was the orator of the day. He said
in part:
There is nothing more heroic in the
capture of Donaldson, nothing grander in
the march to Richmond, than the grand
courage and the noble impulse with which
Grant,-in the very shadow of death, wrote
the simple, fascinating story of his life
that was to be the support OF those he
loved. 1t was in the last pages, just as the
darkening pail was falling on him, that he
penned the following words: England and
the United States are natural allies and
should be the best of friends. They speak
OLE Language and are related by blood and
other ties, We together, or even either
separately, are better qualified than any
other people 10 establish commerce between
all the nationahties of the world. England
governs her own colonies and particularly
those embracing the people of different
races from her own better than any other
nation
This splendid vision of the dying chief
tain is in course of realization. 1t is near
ly fourteen years since his eyes were
closed in death, but the dream which
flashed upon his failing sight on the hush
ed nights of Mount McGregor is to-day a
vivid and luminous picture, filling the
whole front of the national view. We see
now as we never saw before the higher
unity and the broader mission of the Eng
disappearing race. That race is the pion-
eer of civilization and the founder of COM
monwealths. The triumph of its energy
is written on every page in the glorious
history of civil, religious and commercial
progress. 1t has subdued continents and
made them blossom like the rose 1t
stands for the genius of liberty for lib
erty clad in a sacred panoply of law
which recognizes the equality, protects the
rights and executes the organized will Of
all Representative government, trial by
jury, freedom of speech and of the press,
the right to worship according TO the die
tates OF conscience, the establishment OF
the common school-these are the cardi-
nal elements of its policy and these are
the benefcent fruits of its ever-advanc-
ing march.
Our country has not gone forth with
ambitious or conquering hand. In the lit
tie more than 100 years of its national ex-
istence 1t has found its youthful vigor alb
sorbed in developing the mighty continent
where God in the westward course of civ
ilization, has placed the seal of unrivaled
empire, but now ii arches and fills the
broad space between the Atlantic and Pa
cific.
Grant saw and said our country was
entering on new era, yes on a new era
of unity and progress and power. For I'M
der the impulse and influence of the ma
tional uprising and patriotic reawakening
of the past year we witness more than
ever, on this anniversary of his birth, such
a reunion of the North and South in heart
and in hand as his great and magnanimous
spirit yearned for"

THE STANDARD OILTRUSTS,

Attorney General Monnett of
Ohio, has been making u gallant
and determined fight against the
trust business in general and the
Standard Oil Trust in particular,
and he has been making it very
warm for these gentlemen, al =
though it is hard to get count or
jury or set of officials who will
enforce the law against such a set
OF rich and powerful corporations,
as they have very seduc i've way
OF greasing the W heels of justice in
order to start the machinery run
ming smoothly while passing their
way.
Mr.. MOnnett said the capital
stock of the twenty companies com
prising the Standard Oil Trust
footed up $102. ?33, 900 and the
valuation 1921, G3l, 900. The trust
could make its dividend whatever
it desired to be. The original
value of the plant of the Trust was
$97, 100000, but this should be
multiplied by five now.
AS to the earnings of the trust
Mr.. Monnett estimated that the
gross receipts were $12O, O0O,O 900 a
year on the Ohio product alone,
end he said that all was profit over
four cents a gallon on refined oil.
He placed the value of the earnings
OF the company per year as greater
than the value of all farm products
Of Ohio.
"The Standard Oil Trust" said
tho witness, "is one man power.
John d. Rockefeller, with his
henchmon has absolute control ="
In the matter OF labor, he said.
the trust had reduced the number
Of workers in oil and were paying
those few good wages, but at the
expense OF the many thrown out of
employment.
