The Los Angeles Times (Dem) says:
"Mr. Cleveland occupies an honorary and
harmless chair at Princeton but would

backbone stand the strain? Suppose, for
in stance, that Mr. Mckinley should, a
professor of international law, outline the
Monroe doctrine to a class of diligent
and admrng students. Then, suppose a
Republican should Introduce bill in Con-
gress declaring that the Monroe doctrine
meant something entirely different.
Would the professor shift his views ac-
cordingly. he has shifted them on the
silver question. as he has changed them
on the Porto Rican tariff question, as he
has remodeled them regarding imperial

the Democrats who are protesting
against the policy which the administra-

Oxnards and the Myricks are Benjamin
Harrison, former President of the United

quaint little story concerning Mr..
Chamberlain, which, if it be not true, has
at least originated from some one who
has studied the colonial secretary and his
ways pretty closely. is being told, says
the Chicago News. 1t is said that one
day lately Mr.. Chamberlain was engaged
in conversation with a friend in a well
known London hotel, when a young man
approached him with diffidence that be-
spoke great desire to exchange a few
words with the great man or be snubbed
for a moment.
May 1 speak with you for a moment,
Mr. Chamberlain" he asked
Certainly" was the ready reply; and
the politician rose from his seat.
Il cannot say it here" said the young
man, glancing nervously around and lead
ing the way to a remote corner of the
room Arrived there, he spoke his i'm
portant communication in Mr.. Chamber
lain's ear.
Il am on the staff of the =, and I
should esteem it a great favor if you will
tell me what you think of the present
situation in the Transvaal!"
Mr. Chamberlain started, looked sharp
~ at him. and then, his severity softening
into pity for the young mans simplicity,
he said
Follow mew
Leading the way like a man requiring
still greater secrecy for what he had to
impart, he walked through the dining
room into passage, down some steps
into the reading room, into the drawing
room and finally into a remote and cur
tanned dark corner, where after a hur-
ried glance round to make sure there were
no eavesdroppers. he whispered in the
young mans ear:
My friend, 1 really don't know any
thing about it!''

The Minister'S Influence.

"Mr. Beecher one day." says Maj. Pond.
in the Philadelphia Post, attended a
match game of billiards. and several news
rapers criticised him for so doing. A. few
days later while he was sitting on the
edge of the platform in his lecture room. a
young church officer said to him: 4 don't
believe there is any harm In billiards. but
don't you think you injured your influence
by attending the game?'
Mr.. Beecher tucked one of his legs IN
der the other and, nursing one knee. said
slowly: 1--WE noticed ell my life that min
listers who are always taking care of their
influence never have much Influence TO
take care of. Very early In my ministry
! made up my mind TO take care OF my
work and let the Lord take care of my in

A TRUSTS TROUBLES.

There has been, and still u.s. much hos
tility to the sugar trust. 1t is probable
that the arbitrary business methods of
that trust have had as much TO do with
creating the antitrust sentiment so prev
alent throughout the country as anything
else. But it seems that the sugar trust
is having it's troubles. 1t does not have
everything its own way. 1t cannot fix
prices to suit itself. It's last quarterly
dividend was only at the rate of per
cent. per annum 1t used to pay double
that. Now its president announces that
it is by no means certain that the next
quarterly dividend will be as large as the
last. In fact, it is not absolutely certain
that there will be any dividend at all
when the next quarter comes around. The
chances are that there will not be, unless
the Arbuckles, opposition sugar refners,
consent to the putting up the price of
sugar.
On Wednesday the Arbuckes gave no
tice of the reduction in the price of re-
fined sugar Immediately the president
of the sugar trust made a statement to
the public, in which he said: "A COM
petitor this morning reduced the price of
refined sugar on an advancing raw mar
ket. This is unparalleled in the history
of the trade. This further diminishes
the margin between the raw and the re-
fined, in which to us there was no profit
The American Company will not meet the
prices while the raw market remains as
it is"
1t is apparent from this statement that
the sugar trust is no longer fixing the
price of sugar. 1t has had to take a
back seat. And it is a question as to
whether it will ever again be in position
to make the enormous dividends it for
merly did for it's stockholders.
The theory is held by some that the
trust evil will correct itself-that as soon
as trust begins to make profits that are
not legitimate 1t will have competition
There is truth in that theory, but it may
happen that a trust will rob the people
for several years before it will have COM
petition of sufficient strength to command
respect. There are several trusts now
that are taking profits that are beyond al
reason, simply because they control the
market for the products they manufac
ture. 1t may be that by the time they
are as old as the sugar trust they will
have competition that will force them t
accept smaller profits. The people, how
| ever, are not willing to wait for sucf
competition. And IL is not absolutely Ger
tain that it will come. They want a rem
edy that will prevent trusts from prac
| tically robbing them at anytime

for brilliant career in politics. Recently
a bill before the Legislature proposing
an increase in the salaries of school
teachers was on the verge of defeat.
Three votes would save it. Murphy was
interested in the bill; that is, he desired

clever fiction of his being in love with
pretty school teacher, who would throw

seating of the successful candidate. And
the incident, by the way, will illustrate
the political difference between Mormon
