INsoLENcE OF TRUSTS.
A Striking Instance of the Arrogance
of the Growing Monopo-
list.

A day or two ago the American Steel
& Wire company, a trust which has
made its exactions felt most cruelty
by farmers who have to make much
use of its product for fencing, issued
a peremptory order closing down 12
of its mills situated in Illinois, Indiana,
Ohio and Pennsylvania. At the head
quarters of the amalgamated associa-
tion of iron, steel and tin workers in
Pittsburgh it was estimated that the
loss to worli-gmen would aggregate
about $4,000 a week. The Chicago
Times-Herald, a stanch republican
newspaper, gathered reports from the
mill towns themselves, which indicate
that about $3.50 men were thrown out
of employment and los of about
$4,000 in wages each week is incurred.
Col. John w. Lambert, one of the di-
recting officials of the trust, explained
the shutdown with the characteristic
insolence and brutality of the typical
trust magnate thus: "Our company
is running its business without any
need of explaining. We shut down and
open our mills when we see fit.''
No well regulated mind nor any con-
science not completely ossified by the
persistent pursuit of money making to
the exclusion of all other ideals will
for moment accept the theory that
a business which employs nearly 1000
men, business upon the continuance
of which the livelihood of probably
$4,000 people is Immediately depend
ent, is the sole concern of few in
dividuals who, by methods familiar to
corporation managers, have seized upon

correctly, but on the upper floors they
are few minutes slow, SO that the en-

work before those on the upper floors
are due, and of course those on the
upper floors do not leave their disks
until several minutes later, thus avoid

it's control. The people as whole have
some rights in these premises. The
ration cannot honestly remain silent
and supine while the domination of a
corporation over the lives and happi-
ness of a great body of industrious
men and their dependents is thus wan
tonly and brutally abused. In this
specific case different explanations are
given for the shutdown. 1t is said that
it was caused by overproductfon, but
that is lie, for all through the west
farmers and mechanics have been
stopped from satisfying their wants
for the products of this monopoly be-
cause its managers have repeatedly
increased prices until they have
reached almost the prohibitory point.
If there is any oyer-supply of its prod
uct in the market, it is because the
prices put upon it are such that the
ordinary consumer is driven to all
sorts of expedients to avoid purchasing.
1t is said by others that the true rea-
ruling spirits in the trust, one of
whom, by the way, John w. Gates,ois
a republican aspirant for a United
States senatorship, have certain plans
for manipulating the stock market.
which the shutdown will further. This
is possibly true, but it only lays EN-
phasis upon the folly and the Grim
inality of permitting the control of
great and necessary industry in the
United States to pass into the hands
of small body of men, men who would
not have gained control of it if they
had not possessed the instinct of gam
blers and who naturally utilize their
control to further their gambling
transactions.
We have said that business of this
sort is not priva.e business, and that
no individual can rightfully make such
statement as Col. Lambert is quoted
as having made, and that the people
as whole must not sit quietly by and
allow his position to be maintained
without protest. But in saying this it
is not necessary to go to the other
extreme and hold that because the
business has attained such qualities of
monopoly it should be conducted by
the government according to the So
cia1istic idea. The reason the 1908
employees of the American Steel & Wire
company are suddenly and arbitrarily
thrown out of work is because one
single governing board controls the
employment of all of them and con-
trolls the industry in which all are en-
gagged. If the IL mills involved were
operating as corporations should op-
crate, independently one or two might
shut down, but the others would con-
tinue. Indeed, it is most unlikely that
any would shut down, because the
mill so doing would be in danger of
losing its trade to those which re-
inained in continuous operation. IF,
therefore, the existing antitrust law
had been enforced against this monop-
olistic corporation. not only would the

The Filipino agent in the United
States asserts that plan has been for
mulated by Aguinaldo and the Filipino
leaders to divert to other nations by
every expedient in their power the
trade which the United States expected
to have with the islands. He estimate
it at many million dollars year. Gu

the administration at Washington

unfit for self-government or anything

adopted this plan from the Virginia

LEGEND OF THE TOPAZ.
o7d-Time Tale OF the Mind Emperor
Theodosius and the Gratitude
of Snake.

The topaz is called the stone OF graft
tude, and the old Roman books, says
the Philadelphia Press, record the fol-
lowing legend from which the stone
derives its attribute:
The blind Emperor Theodosius used
to hang a brazen gong before his pail
ace gates and sit beside them ON cer-s
tain days, hearing and putting to right
the grievances of any of his subjects.
Those who wished for his advice and
help had but to sound the gong and
Immediately admission into the pres
ence of Caesar was obtained.
One day a great snake crept up to
the gate and struck the brazen gong
with her coils, and Theodosius gave
orders that no one 1hould molest the
creature and bade her tell him her
wish. The snake bent her crest lowly
in homage and straightway told the
following tale:
Her nest was at the base Of the gate
way tower, and when she had gone to
find food for her young brood a strange
beast covered with sharp needles had
invaded her home, killing the nestlings
and now held possession of the little
dwelling. Would Caesar grant her JUS
tice.
The emperor gave orders for the por-
cupine to be slain and the mother to
be restored to her deso1ate nest.
Night fell and the sleeping world
had forgotten the emperor's kindly
deed, but with the early dawn a great
serpent glided into the palace, up the
steps into the royal chamber and laid
upon each of the emperor's eyelids a
cleaning topaz When Emperor The
odosius aWoke he found he was no
longer blind, for the mother snake
had paid her debt of gratitude.

FORTUNE In BEETLES.
One Thousand of a Species Worth
$25 Each Secured by a Kansas
Professor.

: Z < h. y Il Ii a " h * i X K e. -
When legislators are stingy, and the
cause of higher educa aon is threatened
by reason Of financial depression, all
Chancellor Snow, of Kansas universe
ty, has to do is to swap beetles for doll
lars. He is the only living man who
ever ran corner on a natural product
and made it hold good for a decade,
says Lawrence {kan.) correspondent
of the Kansas City Star. 1t was in the
spring of 1878 the Prof. Snow and two
conspirators who were students at the
time in his department went in search
of tiger beetles, known to entomolo-
gists as Amblychila cylindriformis. At
this particular time specimens of this
species of beetles had ready sale in
the open markets Of the world at $25
each. There was clamorous demand
from Berlin, Heidelberg, Edinburgh,
Paris, London and New York which no
one could supply There was suspi.
cion in the scientific mind that this
species of beetle ought to be found in
western Kansas. Prof. Snow made
confdant of two favorite students,
promised them one-third of all the
beetles they could catch, and the expe.
dition set forth in the summer of 1875
It was in Wallace county that the ex.
petition finally landed. Here it re-
mained three months. So many beetles
of the rare species were captured that
the young men sold their third inter
ests in the collection to Prof. Snow for
enough money to pay their way
through college for two years. And at
that the willy professor drove the best
bargain Of his life. With more than
/ thousand beetles of a rare species.
which entomologists all over the world
were clamoring for, in his possession,
Prof. Snow sold sufficient number to
make good his payment to the stu
dents, pay all the expenses of the ex.
petition and complete through an ex-
change collection of 5000 species Oh
beetles, the largest collection in the
world. The chancellor of the state uni
versity still has beetles Of this species
left, and they are the only available
ones for the collector in the world.
Never before nor since this famous
trip has the Amblychila cy1indriformis
been found, save in the rarest cases.
when one at a time would be captured.
He is the head Of the tiger family OF
beetles, and until 1878 many Of the
finest chronological collections could
not secure specimen. The price had
gone higher and higherup to 1878. But
the harvest reaped by Prof, Snow had
such a bearish effect on the market
that amblychila were quoted as low as
silver bullion. But Prof. Snow refused
to be stampeded. He withheld his
product temporarily from the market,
and beetles of the head tiger species
jumped back to two dollars each and
began to soar again. Others sought
beetles in western Kansas, but had a
loss of time and monay for their pains.
Wallace county had lost either her
beetle population or Prof. Snow ha9
captured it entire.

Al Fly Dance.

Morris Gibbs describes what prob.
ably thousands Of our readers have OBJ
served-the very curious lowering, or.
dancing, habit of species Of two-
winged flies, which assemble in groups
ofgfrom 20 to 100 or more, in some spot.
sheltered from the wind, and indulge in
fantastic dance for hours at a time.
The motions consist OF alternate rising
and falling in periods Of fewseeonds,
and over a distance varying from one
to four feet. The insects seem to be-
come so Interested in their sport, If
sport it is, that they cannot be driven
away from one another, but immedi-
ately reform their companies when
disturbed. Many species ofinseets have
the habit of lowering in the air, some
IL parties only and some singly.

MANY TONS OF MONEY.
A Place Where the wild Bees Abound
LIS VaIyerde County,
Texas.

There is enough honey in the brakes
of Devils river to make any man rich
who will get it to market, says a Del
Rio TEX. correspondent Of the Chi
eago Record. There are tons of it;
in clefts in the rocks, in hollow trees,
in caves and in the famous sDevil's
Punch Bowl which is great sink in
the Devils valley, and out Of which
bees swarm always in clouds so thick
that at distance Of two or three miles
II has the appearance of a great signal
smoke. The hills and valley land along
the river are covered for great part
of the year with an endless variety of
flowers, and in the winter season,
which is never cold enough to, freeze
the bees, there is an abundance Of de-
eaying fruit-cactus apples and berries
of many kinds-so they never have to
stop working on account of lack of
material or bad weather, and thus go
on piling up their wealth throughout
the whole year.
The business of gathering this
honey, while fairly profitable, is not
followed to any great extent, for the
reason that there is little in the work
of the honey hunter which is anything
like sport, and everything connected
with it is full of priyation and danger.
The country is SO rough that it is im-
possible to get anywhere near the
honey caves unless one goes on foot,
packing his camp equipage on his back
or on burro; water is not oyerplenti-
full, and much Of that to be found is
unfit for use, and besides all this the
actual getting of the honey is no easy,
task. Sometimes the caves are in such
inaccessible places that the hunter has
to let himself down on the face Of
cliff for 200 or 300 feet and hang there
at the end of his rope while the bees
sting him half to death, while he digs
out few pounds Of honey; or, again,
he may find a cave easy to rob, only to
find that he must carry the spoil sew
era1 miles on his back before he can
get it to a place where he can load it
upon his burros.
Several years ago hunting party
made up of Kansas City men went into
that country on trip after big game,
for there are plenty of deer in there
even now, and at that time bears were
numerous. When they got up into the
honey country they began figuring on.
the fortunes to be made out of it, and,
having heard of the Devils Punch Bowl,
locally known as 'sDevil's Sink Hole"
they decided to go and seeit and if pos
sible devise some scheme whereby they
might get the tons of honey it con-
tanned.
When they reached it, like everyone
else seeing it for the first time, they
were amazed at the proportions of the
wonder; q hole 40 feet in diameter
yawning open in the middle Of a wide
valley, with a perfect torrent of bees
rushing up from it like dirt blown
from some mighty blast, and all the
while roaring loud as that of a great
cataract, looking down into the abyss,
for the hole widens Immediately below
the surface, they saw the festoons OF
honey hanging there which the bees
had strung along the sides of their
mammoth hive after they had filled the
hidden grottoes, and through the up
ward swarms could be seen the CLEANS
of combs built no doubt many years be.
