Democracy and Trusts.

In was in 1894 that the Democratic
majority in both houses Of Congress
paralyzed the section against trusts
passed by the Republican majority in
the preceding Congress. The Wilson
law prescribess no penalty against
trusts except firms or corporations
who are importers of foreign goods.
Importers are not organized in trusts
and never have been. Consequently
the Wilson law touches none of the

CHARLOTTE n. BRAEME:

green and long; then they turned away,
and his place knew him no more.
The little assembly in the library were
somewhat curious over the will; the ma
iority decided that the vast property
ought most certainly to be equally divid-
ed between the two; then they would De
richer than most men; but those who mad
known the millionaire best, with his pride
in his fortune, knew that one or the other
would have it all. Which would it be!
Most Of them present felt certain con-
yiction that it would be Austin; Sir JOY
celvn had never seemed to care in the
least for Cyril.
Cyril Leslie Vernon, now Sir Cyril,
stood up after the document had been
read, his handsome face had grown pale
with emotion. Regardless Of the stran-
gers around him, he went up to Austin
and held out his hand to him.
"Will you believe me-" he said, that
1 am more sorry than you are over this
l scorn to profit by your loss"
But Austin looked up at him with
smile.
Zone must have gained, the other must
have lost" he replied. II am well con-
tent that it is you. Ny uncle has left
me no money, but he has left me with a
hope dearer than all fortune"
AS Cyril knew nothing Of what had
passed, he could not even guess at the
meaning Of Austin's words-they meant
nothing to him; but he held out his hand
to his cousin, and the two stood there to-
gether, truer friends than ever.
Gentlemen" said Cyril, with frank
bearing, "your silence is just condemna-
ton of an unjust will. No one was more
surprised at this will than myself have
been; I, in common with every one else,
always believed that my cousin, Austin
Chandos, was my uncle's favorlte
nephew. 1 do not understand the will,
and, what is more, I yer shall"
There was no more to be said; the only
man who could have given an explanation
was silent; and so it came to pass that no
one understood why Austin had been dis
inherited.

Industrial Rather than Political.

Industrial Rather than Political.
Trusts, as such, have no connection
with party politics, and the movement
which is establishing them in such
numbers was as plainly in evidence
under Cleveland as it has been under
Mckinley. The favors which the Dem
ocratic Senate showered on the sugar
trust in framing the Wilson tariff have
not yet been forgotten. Trusts -four
,ish in Democratic as well as in Repub-
lican States. Both parties have been
equally outspoken in denouncing these
combinations in their platforms. In
their coming national conventions,
both will undoubtedly repeat their con-
demnation Of monopoly.
The trust problem is industrial rath-
er than political, and it should be dealt
with on the broad grounds of economic
justice. 1t is difficult and complicated
enough to demand the best efforts Of
honest public men of all parties for it's
solution. Bulletin.

suggested by the United States commissions
ers. The United States commissioners
further contended that special stipulations
should be made in any reference to arbitra-
tion that the existing settlements on the
uQewaters of the coast should in any re-
suit continue to belong to the United
States. To this contention the British
commissioners refused to agree. 1t was.
therefore, deemed advisable to adjourn to
q convenient date, in order to Enable the
respective governments to further consider

clusion has yet been reached"

joint statement. He does not consider the
Work OF the commissioners as being over.

uaily agree on the terms of a treaty satisfacs

Alaskan boundary question does not, in his
opinion, mean a permanent disagreement.

again the matters in dispute can be dis
cussed through the regularly constituted
diplomatic agencies and possibly the basis
OF an adjustment be found. Senator FAIR
banks notes with satisfaction that through
out the negotiations the utmost cordiality
and good feeling characterized every phase f
the proceedings. Both sides were anxious to
promote friendly relations between the coun-
tries, and the result is seen in many bene-
fetal ways. The differences Of opinion be-
tween the commissioners, which finally
forced a recess, were honest and their deyel-
opment was unaccompanied by acrimony.

by congestion OF the lungs, the result of the
refusal Of Gimm to obey the instructions OF

race, has been quoted as saying that some

high BALLS" NOW ALLOWED
Women Athletes May Take Whisky
and Settler After Turkish Baths.

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-The Women's
Athletic Club has decided that members
can have "high balls after Turkish baths,
and at such other times as their physicians
say it is good for them. "The trouble of
this Turkish bath question" said Mrs. r.
S. Lyon, one of the officers of the club,
seems to be chiefly over on the North
Side. That's funny. They are so near the
lake and so dry. Now, 1 should like to
know what a high BALI is. l supposed it
was something to kick. Whisky and settler?
Goodness, and this club is to improve the
physical condition of women. Think of
taking whisky into one of those dreams of
bathrooms; ugly, red whisky into a bath
room of heavenly blue. No wine will be
served at the luncheons. Young girls are
to be admitted to the clubrooms and no
temptations will be placed in their way.
What mothers would send their daughters
to a club that would permit it? However,
women who say that their physicians for
bid their taking baths without something
to drink may have it. / am told there
are cases where it is necessary. Some Of
the members favor requiring the women
told her it would be unwise for her TO take
Turkish baths without a sip or two of some
spirituous preparation. This bit of red
tape, II is thought, will be taken to kind
~. Ihere are no signs of yielding, how
ever, on the subject of wine at luncheons."

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
No to Manufacturers of Alco-

hOI-RuIing Against n Railway.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-In the IJnited
States Supreme Court to-day the case of
Dunlap VS.. the United States was disposed
of, the decision being in the interest Of the
United States. The case involves the valid
ity of the provision in the Wilson tariff act
providing for a rebate of the tax on alcohol
to be used in the arts and manufactures. II
came to the United States Court from thu
Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second
circuit. The opinion was rendered by Chief
Justice Fuller and was against payment OF
rebates to the manufacturers.
"A decision was handed down nv Tustio~
Harlan, constituting the constitutionality OF
the state law of Ohio regulating the stop-
page of through trains at stations in the
state. The law requires that any railroad
company in the state shall have at least
three trains q day, If so many are run. stop
at any station on It's line containing not less
than 1900 population. The action was beeIIn
against the Lake Shore Company because OF
It's refusal to obey the law by having as
many as three of Its trains stop at the Town
or West Cleveland. The railroad company
contended hat the statute was antagonistio
70 the federal Constitution in that it inter-
Ierred with commerce between the States.
The court held this contention to be UNI
rounded, saying that the question involved
was only that Of subscribing the public con-
Venience, and that the State had a right 10
leglslate to that end The Judgment of the
Supreme Court Of Ohio was therefore ar
nrmed. Justices Brewer, Shiras, White and
Peckham diSsented, and Justices Shiras and
White delivered dissenting opinions. Justice
White based his dissent upon the ground Of
discrimination against through trains. Jus
t1ce ShiraS commended that trains running
from one State to another carrying malls.
etc., were subject to the control of Congress
and not to the control of state legislatures.
me question was, he said, one OF con-
v~enience to the entire public and not that
of the local public alone.
Justice White handed down an opinion in
the case OF G. A Calhoun VS.. Oscar Violet.
involving the right of "sooners' in the set
Element Of Oklahoma Territory when that
territory was opened to settlement. Cal
houn claimed especial privileges because he
was an ex-Union soldier. The court, how
ever, failed to recognize this right and de-
cided against him.
