Marcus Hanna and Trusts.

Chairman Marcus AlonZo Hanna, who knows the trusts better perhaps than any one else in the land, has solved the entire trust problem in single sentence. q don't believe" he says, '.there is 8 trust in the United States" In other words. the people of the United States are fools, mere victims of silly delusion. The enterpnsing men Of Columbus, Georgia, and Chattanooga Tennessee, who got ready to build two wadding mills. and were sat down on by the waddng trust were laboring under delusions. There is no such thing as a ,waddlng trust, for example. This method of solving the problem may be accepted in Chicago, where 1t was put forth, but The Age Herald gives notice that it will not be accepted in Columbus, Georgia, or in Chat tanooga, Tennessee.
 Perhaps we should do MT. Hanna the justice of quoting his trust-kiler literally and in its entirety. Here it is:
 'I would like MT. Bryan or any other Democrat to tell me what a trust is 1 be- lieve there is not trust in the entire United States. There is a national law, and in every State there is law against trusts. They cannot exist, and every law against trusts, national or State, has been the product of Republican lawmakers, and the credit Is due to the Republican party
 The statement that a statute against trusts passed by Republicans to be executed by such Republicans as Attorney General Griggs wipes out all trusts is enough to tickle the saddest man in the world. The dispute should be decided on Chairman Hanna's own campaign list, and he should

 If man be either mean, stingy, selfish enYious, contentious, bitter or rancorous, he is merely swineherd and 1t is no con cern to any reputable individuals what befall him or what become of him, just so he keep out of sight in tbe devils shadows where he properly belongsi His soul is un- clean and the Lord doesn't love him.

 Generations of schoolgirls have argued that we can at our will with thorns or flowers our path through life bestrew all of us have but to take it to heart, to learn a lesson so plain and simple that It, tie children may know.
 The only way under heaven known of mankind whereby comfort pleasure, hap piness may be assured to one is for one mote the comfort, pleasure, happiness of others!
 Pour swill into a swilltrough, and the noisiest, uncleanest most squealing pig there will get up into the swilltrough, be- fouling and destroying the food of others as that pig!

Begin Greater Birmingham.

l If there is to be a Greater Birmingham the time to begin building It is today, and not nine years and six months hence. The
 task of reconciling interests and negotiat- l ing one suburb after another into consoli- dation is very considerable one, and ten years Is none too much in which to accom- ] plish it. Fifteen years were required in | bringing about the annexations that go to l make Greater New York; and fully ten years will be needed to make Greater Bir- | mingham A suburb that is ready to come in should be welcomed and assimilation of gun. In this way Greater Birmingham can be builded, whereas if the business Is left until 1909 few obstructionists will have their way. and the public desire will be
 defeated again, and the district will stand
 discredited throughout the country.
 The truth is, we do not appreciate the
 value of population figures. The man at
 distance knows nothing else but the cen- sus figures. All his ideas of the district and of its resources and possibilities are based on and formed from the population
 of its central town. The Birmingham dis trict is widely known. All men know there Is such district, and when they see the census figures for Birmingham they judge it and the district disparagingiy.
 New York had nothing to gain from an-
 nexation except population figures; but those figures were considered so essential that its citizens imposed upon themselves increased taxation in order to secure them.
 We hurt ourselves in town and suburb by
 not doing likewise; and if the process of
 consolidation be begun at once, we will be
 able by 1910 to present a city that will be
 the pride of the state and the boast of
 the nation This subject deserves serious
 consideration on the part of the Mayor and
 City Council An annexation Mayor can
 make a record that will stand.

HIGH LIGHTS

From the Chicago Record.
 Weak coffee often nerves a man suf1- ciently not to tip the waiter.
 Other peoples blunders either educate us or make us more conceited.
 Good luck is simply having the agility to get on car that Is going your way.
 The cheerful life is like all other enter tainments, we have to seek 1t out and pay to get in.
 When we try to blame other people for our mistakes we usually. get hold of the wrong person.
 We like the people who don't put on too much style and the people who don't put on too little.
 Polite people are those who listen to us while we talk about something they have no earthly interest in.
 It is well occasionally to put yourself in the other mans place, even If you feel yourself too big to be good fit.

MY TRIUMPH
Whittier.

hittier.
 The autumn time has come; On woods that dream of bloom, And over purpling vines The low sun fainter shines. The aster- flower is falling The hazers gold Is paling; Yet over head more near The eternal stars appear! And present gratitude Insures the futures good, And for the things I see I trust the things to be. Let the thick curtains fall; I better know than all How lit .ie I have gained, How vast the unattained. Others shall sing the song; Others shall right the wrong Finish what I begin,
 And all I fail of win. What matter, I or they? Mine or another's day. So the right word be said, And all life sweeter made? Hail to the coming singers! Hail to the brave light brtngers! Forward I reach and share All that they sing and dare. The airs of heaven blow OCT me, A glory shines before me Of what mankind shall be- Pure, generous. brave and free. Ring bells in unreared steeples, The joy of unborn peoplesl Sound trumpets far off blown. Your triuph is my own.

He is not old whose eyes are bright, Whose bosom throbs, whose heart is light Though fourscore be his years enrolled, If yet he loves, he is not old. Der him whose innocent thought is true The sky of winter beameth blue; For if a man have heart of gold, Though white his hair, he is not old. Age only rests upon the throng Who live in strife, who cherish wrong; For, oh, 'tis vice that makes us bold, And then, alas! we soon grow old. So friend, and thou wouldst ever be A man of mirth, not misery, Be just and gentle. brave and bold, And then thou need'st never be old.

NUMBER OF BURGLARIES
 REPORTED TO POLICE
Mrs. English Had Exciting Encounter With Negro-DIfferent Parts of
 City Invaded

A number of burglaries were reported to the police yesterday morning. the most exciting of which occurred at the residence of Tarry W. English; No. 1908 Third ave- nue, during the early hours of the morn ing.
 Mrs. M E. English, MT. Englishs moth- CT, who is visiting him, was awakened by a noise and discovered negro in her room. She attempted to give alarm, and was choked by the brute, who was fright- ened off by MT. English, leaving handful of hts hair behind, Mrs. English having fastened her fingers in his wooIly head. Entrance was effected through the kitchen window.
 G. w. Hobson & Son, wholesale grocers and commission merchants, reported that their store had been burglarized during the night and a lot of cigars stolen. It was also reported that the Central Rail- road of Georgia and the Lathrop Lumber company on the ground floor of the Office building, in First avenue, had been en- tered and all desks in the offices broken open, but nothing of value was taken.
 Another report was from the residence of Mrs. Tardi, No. 2221 Fourth avenue, where thieves had entered, but were frightened off.
 The front window of the store of the Webb Book company in Second avenue, just above Twenty-1irSt street, was broken early in the night, and 1t is thought that burglary was the motive.

PORTO RICANS
Want Powers of Provisional Court
 Continued

San Juan, P. R., April 1o.-At a meeting today of the members of the bar of the provisional court, it was decided to draft and to submit to President Mckinley reso- lutions recommending legislation continu- ing the powers of the provisional court un- til the establishment of the new courts and also recommending that the new courts should convene within thirty days after their creation. The meeting also de- cided to recommend the retention of the present court officials.
 The Foraker law provides for the termi- nation of the provisional court on May 1, but does not provide for sessions of it's successor until October. No provision has been made for the interval. The resolu- tions will be submitted to Governor Gen eral Davis for approval.

 Though the committee Is intent upon ex- cluding from the programme every sub ject which may cause friction or disagree ment, it is believed to be still possible to bring before the congress several projects of the greatest international interest It is also intended to supply an omission by the first Pan-Amerlcan congress by pro- viding the machinery for the easy re-as- sembling of the congress whenever there shall be necessity for joint action on the part of the American republics. As con- siderable correspondence is expected to precede the acceptance of the programme by all of the governmnts of this hemis- phere, it Is regarded as improbable that the congress can be brought together be- fore next winter.

THE CUBAN CENSUS
 IS MADE PUBLIC By the Figures Municipal Suf-
 frage is Justified
POPULATION IS l,572,797
Number of Whites is Largely in Excess of the Neg-oes-443, ,426 Can Read and Write-De-
 tailed Information

Washington, April 19.-General Sanger to- day made public the result of the Cuban census, taken under his direction. The figures in the opinion of the war depart ment officials fully justify the decision of the administration to allow municipal suf- frage in Cuba at this early stage. The of fcials are gratified to find that the native Cubans constitute so large portion of the population, that the whites so greatly outnumber the blacks, and that so large a proportion of the native population can read and write. In their opinion there seems to be no room for the objection that the proposed basis of suffrage would result in turning the island over to the control of the Spaniards.
 The total population of Cuba Is 1,572, ,797 including S15205 males and 757,502 females There are 447,S72 white males and 462, ,926 white females of native birth. The foreign whites number ,760 males and 26 45S fe- males. There are III ,S9S male negroes and 122,74O female negroes. The mixed races number 125,000 males and 145,305 females. The population of Havana city is 235, ,9S1, and of the province of Havana s24, ,S0i. The population of the province of Matanzas is 202,44; of Pinar del Rio, 173064; of Puerto Principe, SS,234; of Santa Clara 356 536; and of Santiago, 327,
 Of the total population of the island l. 10S70S persons are set down as single 24s- S51 as married; while 131 O97 live together by mutual consent There are SLIP Wid- owed persons.
 Population as to Citizenship
 Of the total population according to citi- zenship 20,47S are Spanish, 1,296, 365 are Gu bans, 175,Sl1 are in suspense, 79526 are oth- CT citizenship and GIG are unknown. The Spanish by birth number 12924O. Of the children 10 years of age and over 49, A. tion 443,426 can read and writeand 19,15S have a superior education. The table on citizenship, literary and educational, is re- garded as important as forming the basis of suffrage about to be conferred. It is thought there will be at least GOO quali- fled native Cuban voters under the pro- posed basis of suffrage, and as against this there will be 55767 Spaniards whose citi- zenship was in suspense when the sensus was taken, less the number who have since declared to preserve their Spanish not declared, who are the owners of prop erty It is not believed that there will be any great number of the latter classes, ts the total number of ilfiterate Spanish males over 21 years, Is only 7,426 There are 1S7,S26 white adult males who were born in Cuba as against 96.0S3 born in Spain; 6,794 born in other countries, and 1z7 300 colored.
 The tables which are to be published simultaneously in this country and in Gu ba, contain much detailed information of interest as to the character of the popu- lation.

 The petitioners state that they repre- sent 1, 400 business firms in New York city, giving employment to several hundred thousand wage earners beside a non-res- ident membership of 3O,000 other business firms distributed throughout the United States. The memorial complains at con- siderable length of the Oppressive charges" exacted by express companies, speaking of them in strong terms as 'monopolies of quasi-public function, be- yend reach of competition or the control of the interstate commerce commission to which other common carriers are subject ed,' and ask that the stamp tax on ex- press shipments be either abolished or re- moved from the shipper and placed in a lump sum on the express companies They further request the abolition of the stamp tax on railroad and steamship shipments and on telegrams.

San Antonio. Tex, April 19.-A special to the Express from Fl Paso says:
 The Sierra Madre railroad of Mexico, connecting this city with the Casas Grandes valley, southwest, has received notice to supply 300 stock cars to handle shipments of cattle from the Casas Grandes country. 1t is estimated that be- tween 12000 and 15, 600 head, mostly calves, will be shipped from that country through El Paso to the ranges in Texas. New Mexico and Colorado during the next few weeks. The cattle comes from the Car rets, CorralitoS and Ascarete ranches, and are mostly sold to American ranchmen."

BISHOPS ACCEPT
 THE RESIGNATION
Case of Bishop Jackson4 Before
 the Meeting in New York.
SUCCESSOR NOT DISCUSSED
On Account of Circumstances the Case Was Taken Up at This Meet ing Instead of House
 of Bishops.

New York, April 19.-Nearly fifty bishops of the Protestant Episcopal church began a secret session today in the church mis- sion house. It was said that the chief object of the conference was to deter mine on the resignation of Bishop Jack son, former co-adjutator bishop of the dio- cese of Alabama. Bishop Jackson re- signed early this year It is said his con- duet both before his resignation and af- forwards caused comment. Ordinarily the resignation of the bishop would come up before a meeting of the house of bishops, but in view of the circumstances sur rounding the present case. the present ses- sion of bishops was called 10 act on the case. Another important discussion to be had in the session is the establishment of a bishoprc in Honolulu, Hawaii The question of further establishment of bish- oprics in Porto Rico and Cuba will also be taken up.
 Bishop Jackson's Resignation Accepted
 Bishop Jackson's resignation was &C., cepted, but there has been no discussion as to his successor.
 Bishop Doane of Albany was the presid- ing official, and at 1 o'clock Bishop Pot ter was the host of a lunch at the Players club, of which he is a member.
 At the adjournment of the afternoon ses- sion the secretary announced that the time of the bishops had been taken up in an informal discussion of the mission work of the church. Bishop Potter addressed the members of the conference on the needs and opportunities for mission work in the Philippines.
 Bishop Whipple of Minnesota, who re- gently returned from Porto Rico, spoke of the needs of the mission work there. From the nature of the discussion of these ques- tions the general impression seemed to be that if the Episcopal church could erect imposing cathedrals in Havana, San Juan and Manila there would be gained for the church prestige that would mean much to it's spremacy in the future. No formal action was taken. ,st-.
