FIVE times as many trusts in
amount of capitalization have been
formed since Mckinley was elect
ed as had been formed in all the
years before. So rapidly indeed
are the trusts sweeping over the
country and absorbing every
known interest, field of industry
and avenue of employment, that
the New York Herald ventures
upon the prediction that at the
rate at which this concentration is
progressing, if unchecked, individ-
ual enterprise OF ownership will
in a few years be thing Of the
past.

CLAIMED BY DEATH
The Father of DR.. Smith Released From
Years of Suffering.

At nine o'clock Saturday morning
William Hartwell Smith, father of DR..
F. S. Smith died at the family home in
this city, death resulting from para
lytic stroke from which he has suffered
for several years past. He was GA years
old. being born at Winona, Ont, in
October 1886, and until five years ago
was a traveller and interested in fruit
raising in that vicinity. At that time he
received paralytic stroke and was
compelled to retire from business, move
ing to Hamilton Ont, two years later,
in '9S coming to Langdon. The late
Mr.. Smith was the father OF five children
-four sons and one daughter-all living,
also his aged wife who is prostrated
with grief. The last and fatal stroke OF
paralysis came on the 10Th inst a little
over week before the end OF all suffer
ing was reached. This effected princi-
pally his throat and the sufferer was
conscious but little from that time up to
his death Saturday morning. The
funeral held Monday afternoon from the
home was conducted by Rev. D. G.Sykes,
OF Hannah assisted by Rev's. Dougan,
Robertson and Beer OF this city.

TWO SUBSIDY PLANKS.

IT is interesting, and may be
profitable as well, for the Ameri-
can voter to study the opposing
attitudes Of the Democratic and
Republican platforms on the ship
subsidy bill, Mr.. Hanna's pet
measure now pending before con-
gress, by which he proposes, atthe
public expense, to vastly increase
the figures Of his own millions.
This bill, as all who have studied
it know, is naked fraud, a scand-
alous attempt by the head Of the
Republican party to stuff his own
pockets out Of the nations treasury.
According to Navigation Commis-
sloner Chamberlain, the latest
edition o f the steamship, subsidy
bill, ready to be reported from
senate. and house committees at
the next session of congress,
provides for a total expenditure Of
$250,000,00O in thirty years, not to
