The trust magnates are riding high horses just at present, and if the peo- pie are not made to realize this fact more thoroughly than ever duringzIhe
 next few years it will not te the fault Of the great mcnopolies. One writer

 and increased cost of everything he and his family have to use In this
 way the full dinner pair which
 played so prominent part in the re- cent election is growing beautifully
 less. It is only about. a month since | William Mckinley was reelected. and already the trusts. which gave him such financial supports are beginning to turn the screws. The steel trust.

The sensational stories printed in some of the state papers about the Rev Father SlocumS $ sermon last Sun day are so absurd and ridiculous that a denial of them seems unnecessary. It only goes to show that some of the men who follow the profession in Wa terbury are just as yellow as the New York Journals Kid. Father Slocum s
 discourse was highly edifying. as all
 his sermons are. Not even once did he
 mention the name Tammany. neither did he even hint at the organization. The men who are leading the reform
 crusade in New York and elsewhere
 had better. while they are about it, get after the newspapers that will delib- erately libel q man who is doing his duty as he sees it. Father Slocum
 needs no champion in the .Democra |. | He is well able to fight his own bat ties. and it would be well for those persons who are constantly qiStorting and twisting his sermons to beware.
 In all probability the newsgatherer that sent out the story never heard | the reverend gentleman preach any | sermon much less the one ill question.

KILLED By THE TRUSTS

BY TIE TRUSTS
The town of Kearney, in the
State of Kansas, is q sad blu, splen-
did illustration of the evil effects
of the trusts.
Some years ago kearney was one
of the most prosperous towns in
the SunAower State. 1t principal
support consisted OF factories.
There were paper mill. a cracker
factory, a cereal mill, a packing
house, an electrical supply factory
and bicycle factory.
To-day not one of these plants is
in operation.
The trusts did the work.
And as a result, says 4 CORE
spondent of the Boston Herald,
Kearney is on the decline. Thous-
ands of people have been turned
out Of work and women s&and
children, heretofore prosperous, are
deprived of the orc mary necessar'es
of life and present a living refuta-
that there are no trusts.
TIL. purpose of the trust is to
destroy competition. Then it robs
the consumers with impunity.
What the trusts have done in
Kearney they have accomplished
in thousands of towns IN the United
States.
BY closing the factories At
Kearney the trusts have inflicted
great injury upon the country as
we'll as the townspeople. They
struck death. blow at the town and
while doing SO crippled the farmers
by destroying their home market.
The trusts crowd out comPeti-
ton. They put quietus on indi-
vidual enterprise. They suppress,
by fair or foul means, every ele-
ment of opposition. When they
have secured absolute control oi
one particular industry, they pro-
coed to hold up their victims in the
manner in vogue among highway
robbers. It is stand and deliver.
The object lesson afforded by the
trust-killed community of Kearney,
Kansas, should forever put to resi-
the demagogic talk about the good
trusts and the audacious declara.
ton of Hanna that there are nc
trusts.

TO THE MEMORI
OF LEE.

We are sometimes told that Sec
tionallsm is thing of the past and
that the North entertains but the
kin ;liest feelings for the South.
This is only partially true. The
Democrats of the North have
worked increasingly for a reunifica-
ton of the sections, but it is only
the ill informed who believes that
the Northern Republicans are dis
posed to let the dead past bury its
dead and to join hands with their
brothers south of Mason & Dixon's
line. Just at this time when we are
being told that the Republican
party is the friend of the South it is
interesting to read what the New
York Sun, the chief Republican
organ of the North, has to say of
Robert E. Lee, the idol of all true
Southerners.
The Sun IS edited by the sLn of
the late Charles A. Dana. who
played such disreputable part
during the imprisonment of Jeffer-
son Davis 1t will be seen that the
son has inherited all the meanness
of his father without his ability.
We desire particularly TO call the
attention of the young men of Louis
lana to the following atterances of
a leading Republican of the North:
'.At this time, there has come up false
and mushy sentimentality which would have
against the republic committed by the re-
bellious forces under the command of
Robert E. Lee. 1. Is that meek and mawk-
ish sentmentality which puts the name of
Lee among the great commanders entitled
to the veneratioD of posterity. Hail to the
Stars and Stripes. and always death and
confusion to its enemies!"
