THE WAY OF A 1R TS7,.

| AS the big trusts go on conquering
and to conquer they will occasionally
| find it necessary to do such things as
that which is now disturbing the peo-
| pie of Michigan. The Page Fence COM
pany of Adrian, Michigan, has gone in
to the hands Of receiver on account of
financial embarrassment. 1t had been
one Of the most prosperous organiza-
lions of its kind in the world, was de-
veloped by legitimate methods, was lib
eral and public spirited and, with it's
weekly pay roll of $4,000, did more than
any other one institution to make
Adrian prosperous city. The cause of
it's failure is thus set forth by the De-
troit Free Press: But the company had
the temerity to decline an invitation to
| be swallowed by the American Wire
Fence company. 1t being the special
mission of that great trust to crush out
competition, the wire trust, which owns
the wire fence trust, proceeded to
squeeze the Page company by advanc-
ing the price of wire over 100 per cent.
So far as the plants comprising the
fence trust were concerned 1t would
a thousand or a million per cent, for
the same capital that was selling was
buying. and could give its product away
to itself or quote 1t at its weight in
gold without making a dollars differ
ence in the outcome of it's business. 1t
was by this process that the Page COM
pany, rich in all the vital requirements
of a great industrial enterprise willing
to stand or fall upon it's own merits,
and refusing to combine for the purpose
of arbitrarily debating outrageous
prices, was driven to the wall 1t is one
of the most fragrant examples of trust
tyranny that has come to the people of
this State, and cannot but multiply the
ton of these financial cormorants. the
only alternative being their complete
demolition.
When the trusts have succeeded in
fixing things so that competition is no
longer the life of trade they will per-
haps find that moderation in the use of
their power will be the life of their
trade.

A canvass of Delaware township in
Jefferson county, Kansas, has been
made, and its result is interesting and
significant. The canvass was made by
a correspondent of the Kansas City
Journal as veriflcation of the Repub-
lican State committees report on that
township. The committees report was
verified in every particular, there being
thirty changes from Bryan to McKin-
ley and none from Mckinley to Bryan,
and of the eight Gold Democrats of the
township who voted for Palmer and
Buckner or Mckinley and Hobart in
1896 five declared their intention to sup
port the Republican ticket this year.
This township, which was selected by
chance for investigation, may be re-
garded as pretty good test of politi-
cal sentiment in Kansas. The names
Of those who have changed from Bryan
to Mckinley are given, and most of
them gave their reasons for changing.
These reasons are timely and instruc-
tive, coming from professional men,
merchants farmers, mechanics and la
horers.

then said that it came from mill near

The value of the small horse in war
Is thus set forth by the Nineteenth Gen.
fury Review: The argument for small
horses in war is one capable of almost
mathematical demons ira ton. In every
campaign horses have necessarily to
put up with short rations, often with
semi-starvation, and the horse that can
do with the least and worst food lasts
the longest; and the longest lasting
wins. If, then, a small horse can main
tain himself where a big one starves,
doing equal or nearly equal work, the
small horse is demonstratably the bet
ter. Apart from artillery and transport
where heavy draught power will always
be needed, a pony of 142, if properly
bred-it has been proved in South Afri-
16 hands, and on equal ratlons (where
these are scanty) will last twice as long.
The small horse too, is easier managed,
he is less troublesome omount under
fire and to dismount from on the march.
This last is no small advantage when
men are weary. The Bedouins on their
raids are constantly up and down, on
and eff their mares, running beside them
half the night, and so easing and saving
them. The small horse, too, is a small
er target to the enemy, is easier hidden
in the folds of the ground, and is easier
slowed on shipboard. He nee1 less
stout rope to tether him, a scantier shell
ter to screen him in rough weather.

Black Patti Troubadours

The Black Patti Troubadours will re- turn for an engagement at the Jefferson theater this afternoon and tonight.
 The company is well known in this city, where it has filled more than one success ful engagement, but this year the compa- ny, it is said, has been increased and new features have been added, so that the par ticipants in the fun-making will have new vehicles for the conveyance of their efforts to please. The performance opens with a skit called "A Rag-Tme Frolic at Ras- Bury Park" in which the entire company takes part except Black Patti. the prima donna, who appears at the end. Following this coon conceit will come an olio of spe- cialties.
 The conclusion of the performance is composed of a number Of selections from the best operas. Black Patti will lead, and the company will do the ensemble work. While the players of this company are un- doubtedly at their best in the rendition of rag-time melodies, their singing of oper- atic masterpieces has gained for them fa- vorable consideration from theater-goers.
 Seats will be reserved for the matinee. and at both performances the balcony will be reserved for colored people.
