Press.)-At the antitrust conference
today Prof. John r. Commons, of New
York, spoke on DETERMINATIONS and
Trusts" w. N. osgood, OF Massachu-
sets, followed. Prof. Edward w. Be
late Measures or First Steps,
The committee on resolutions pre-
sented their report as agreed on last
night, together with an address to the
American people. The reading OF both
papers was received with applause.
The platform is as follows:
The Platform.
Whereas, in the opinion of the Ma
tional Antitrust conference, assem-
bled at Chicago, Feb. 10, 10 and IA,
1900, the just and true remedy Tor the
combinations known as trusts, which
consist of corporations and natural
persons controlling 1egalized special
privileges, it is the abolition of those
privileges; and
Whereas, the legalized privilege of
telegraph monopoly, the legalized priv
ilege of protection against foreign COM
petition with American goods controll-
ed by trusts, the legalized privilege of
monopolizing the issue of paper mon
ey,and the legalized privileges incident
to the private ownership of railways,
are potent factors in creating and
maintaining trusts; therefore be it re-
solved,
az That congress take immediate
steps, under the power of eminent do
main or otherwise as may be deemed
the most eXpedient (but in any event
by paying the just value. irrespective
of franchise value of any property
taken or condemned) to establish the
telegraph and telephone systems of the
United States as adjuncts of the post
Office department and subject to it's
operations;
(2) That congress defeat all meas
ures that have been or may be pro-
posed and repeal all that now have the
sanction of law, whereby private cor
porations may acquire control of the
volume Of the circulating medium, and
create a banking trust;
(3) That the tariff shall no longer
be employed to foster and buttress
trusts, bun that congress shall place on
the free list all articles the sale of
which in the United States is controll-
ed by trust.
steps under the power of eminent do
main or otherwise as may be deemed
the more eNpedienD (but in any event
by paying the just value, irrespective
of franchise value of any property
taken or condemned) to take, own aud
operate the interstate rail highways
now owned and operated by private
persons or railway corporations;
And whereas, the political power of
the trusts rise in their frequent repre-
sentation in and control of the houses
of legislation, we recommend the adop.
ton of the system known as direct leg
islation; to make government once
more as of right it ought to be, and as
was conceived alike by Thomas Jeffer-
son and Abraham Lincoln, a govern
ment OF the people, for the people and
by the people.
After protracted squabble the adj
dress to the public and the platform
were adopted. A resolution by j. r..
Sovereign, of Arkansas, denouncing the
anti-ticket scalping bill as a trust
measure was unanimously adopted.

THORNTON GROWS ANGRY
After Conference Passes Rank Free Sill
Yer Resolutions the New York Man
Refuses to Speak, Declaring
Gathering Is Partisan

Chicago, Feb. 13.-(By Associated
Press Judge w. Beeman, of Indiana,
was the first speaker au the antitrust
conference today. After the conclu-
sion of Beeman's address, Judge Elem
ing, of Kentucky, presented resolu-
ton protesting against the currency
bill now pending in the senate at
Washington. The resolutions declared
that the bill, if it became law, would
extend further special privileges to THE
favored classes; demonetiZe silver and
all paper money, enthrone the money
oligarchy, and establish continental
bank trust. The resolutions further
suggested that committee of seven
be appointed to prepare a memorial
against The bill and present the same
to both houses of congress. The reso-
lutions were adopted. Immediately af-
ter the adoption of the Fleming reso-
buttons, Amasa Thornton, of New
York, notified the presiding officer
that he would refuse to deliver the
speech for which he was scheduled
today. In an interview later, Thorn
ton explained his action by saying: ST
have positively refused to address the
conference and will not be further
identified with it as I consider today's
action makes it a partisan gathering"
The following permanent vice presi-
dents were recommended and approved
by the conventions:
Illinois-Judge Tuley, DR.. A. Slade,
j. P. Altgeld.
Iowa-General James B. Weaver, j..
J. Romans and Charles Butler.

REWARDS ARE ADEQUATE.
The Public Is Both just and Genero
to Faithful Servants.

The Public Is Both just and Generous
to Faithful Servants.
The compensations of political life
are not matter of wages, profits and
bookkeeping, says ex-senator ingalls,.
They are not measured by income or
per centum. 1t must be admitted that
there are vicissitudes and misfits, but
calamities attend all enterprises. Those
who fall outnumber those who succeed.
One is taken and the other left Pop
ularity and public favor sometimes
seem capricious and tickle. The idol of
yesterday is execrated tomorrow. The
constituency of Aristides still survives,
and Nemesis yet waits to resent and
punish prosperity.
Princes are not uniformly grateful
and the demands upon the time and
strength Of the public servant are not
always considerate. The lamentation
of Wolsey has not lost its pathetic sig
nificance, and the injunction to throw
away ambition yet falls on wounded
and weary souls. But the rewards of
public life are far in excess Of its bur
dens. The people are not always slow
to anger, but in the end they are both
just and generous to those who serve
them with fidelity.
They honor courage, independent
thought, manhood and truth, and are
quick to forgive errors that proceed
from an intrepid spirit. The ingrati
tude of republics is stale proverb,-

An Epfcure of the Fro,t,ar

Jim Bridger, the famous Rocky
Mountain scout, at one stage of his
career thought he had enough of from
tier life and decided to return to the
"effete East"-which to him meant
Missouri. Not long after he had quit
his ranch Captain Russell, the COM
mandant of the army post where Jim
used to trade his furs and game for
cartridges between scouting jobs, was
surprised to see the old man ambling
in again.
'Why, Bridger! We thought you
had settled down East with your home

Chinese Proverbs.

An indication of the Chinese charac-
ter can be inferred from the nature of
their proverbs. A few of them are as
follows: ''If the blind lead the blind
they will both go to the pitt" "An old
man marrying young wife is like a
withered willow sprouting;;" "a wife
should excel in four things, virtue,
speech, department and needlework;;" :"
Every day cannot be a Feast of Ian
terns;" "Would you look at the charac-
ter of Prince, look at his Minister, or
the disposition of man, observe his
companion, or that Of father, mark
his son." 1.-THE higher rat creeps up a
cows horn the narrower he finds it."
"Let us get drunk to-day while we have
wine; the sorrows Of tomorrow may be
borne by tomorrow"

William Cullen Bryant, whose boast

orator by young woman, who stated
William Cullen Bryant was the Dem

And even Abraham Lincoln appeared
to be examined in varied lights.
Here are some OF the answers to the
inquiry concerning him:
Lincoln was a great general and
distinguished himself in the war of
1872"
Abraham Lincoln was a personal
friend of the colored race and was one
OF the signers of the declaration of in

Abraham Lincoln was born in Illi-

he became president.
