magnificent thoroughbred Ethelbert, by
Eothen and Maori, not only proved his
right to the title of champion 4-year-old

ty of turf followers that he is the best

Indianapolis, June 3.-W. S. Taylor,
formerly governor of Kentucky, has dis
covered that he and his refugee friends
are under surveillance whenever they
leave their rooms at the hotel, there be-
ing two Kentucky detectives in the city
who were recognized by Taylor. One
of the men is from Lexington and the
other from Louisville, and the hotel peo-
Pile say that while they do not stop there
they have been around the corridors at
all hours of the day and night since
Thursday evening. Governor Taylor is
very apprehensive and has had so many
warnings from friends in Kentucky that
he believes an attempt may be made at
any time to kidnap him. At his request
additional bolts were placed upon the
two doors leading to his suit of rooms,
and he never leaves them without two OF

nids For shells.

Washington, June 3.-The navy depart
ment feels justified in having readvertis-
ed for proposals for supplying II inch
shells by the results obtained. The first
bids fixed the lowest price for II inch
armor piercing shells at $50 each and
$195 for common II inch shells. The
bids received in place of these rejected
proposals fix the cost of armor piercers
at $144.75 each and common shells $50
each. Admiral O'Neill has recommended
the acceptance of the bid of the Carpen-
ter Steel company for the armor piercers
at the first figure and of Benjamin IL
lingsworth for the common shells at the
last price. The result is net saving of
$685. 900 for the government by the re-

one word Reverses Judgment.

Rochester, June 3.-One little word
may cause the loss of $4,000 to Matthew
Quinlivan, poor workingman of this
city. About year ago Quinlivan was in
iured while working on the Buffalo,
Rochester and Pittsburg road, and he
brought suit against the company. the
Jury giving him $4,000 damages. From
This the railroad appealed. In giving his
charge to the jury Justice Nash told them
that in order to find verdict for the de-
PENDANT they would have to find that the
railroad company furnished safe place
to work. The appellate division in re-
versing the Judgment of the lower courts
finds that if Justice Nash had said the
word reasonably" before the word
@'safe" they could have affirmed the judg-
ment, but because of this error of the
trial the judges verdict must be set aside.

either of these alternatives, there is rea-
son to believe that Lord Rosebery is only

The Chinese question is attracting
much public interest here, yet the raw
ages of the Boxers and the landing of
British and other armed parties have
scarcely caused fiutter of excitement,
for Lord Salisbury does not believe the
latest outbreak will result in anything
serious. That it will bring up acutely the
question of the partition of China is a
possibility ut present considered too re-
mote for any expression of opinion The
attitude of the British foreign office may
be described as nothing less than phleg-
matte.
EngInnd's Chinese Policy.
"Evcrything is left in the hands of Sir
Claude Macdonald, our minister" said
one of the officials responsible for the
conduct of these affairs. He is cmpow-
cred to requisition the men and guns he
needs from the China squadron. All the
ministers ut Picking seem to cooperate
tremendously. We know practically moth
ing of the local conditions existing there
and never heard Of the Boxers till the
other day. | am inclined to believe we
shall not hear of them again in the near
future. Yes. perhaps the Chinese policy
is Lord Salisbury's weakest point. But.
as a matter of fact, England cannot have
any far east policy. The constant change
of government leaves nothing for the for
| cign minister to do but to become an op-
portunist of the extreme type. With Rus.
sia it is different. She is an autocratic
power, whose foreign Office remains in
power as long as it pleases the czar. Dur
| ing the lifetime of ruler a consistent
policy can thus be carried out. In Eng
land we have no such chance"
This. perhaps, is the most truthful de
scription of the British policy, or rather
lack of it, in the far east ever given tC
the public. The feeling among the Off
cials is that Russia's inroads on Japan's
prerogatives in Korea constitute mucl
graver source of danger than the BOX

Trusts Rai.e Prices.


If ever there was reasonable doubt
that trusts raise prices it ought to be
removed by the evidence of the last
week in May. The competition be-
tween sugar refiners came to an end,
after having lasted nearly two years,
and the price of refined sugar was ad-
vanced three times within few days.
1t goes without saying that the charge
for this advance comes from the pocket
of the consumer-the workingman who
buys n few pounds for his family, the
child indulging in n little candy, the
vast multitude Of toilers whose hard
earnings, expended in small sums at a
time, go to form the vast fortunes of
the managers of trusts.
First, the large wholesale dealer has
to stand the exaction; he in turn adds
to the price at which he sells to the re
taller, and the latter adds cent or SO
to the bill of the housewife who buys
sugar at his store, and, of course, the
husband who works at his desk or
carries dinner pail to the shop has to
pay the additional charge; and it is by
this simple process that little rivulets
of money from every city and village
in the land make NIississippis of wealth
for the great monopollsts. 1t is the
same with gas, and ice and steel, all Of
which have been raised abnormally in
price, or are about to be, through the
combination of those controlling the
products. Tie people are aroused on
this great issue, and those who fail to
perceive that fact are blind inaeed.-

only that, but is enjoying a high degree
of prosperity. But If this is the case,
why these strikes, boycotts, lockouts
etc.? Perhaps there is prosperity and
labor is endeavoring to obtain small
portion of it, but at this present writ
ing there are no Indications that 1t is
receiving what it should receive ac-
cording to the predictions Of Mr.. Nc
Kinley and the benevolent trusts.
There never was a nation that has in
creased in its Industrial achievements
to such a gigantic extent as has the
United States. Such an increase should
have attached to 1t the element of pros
perity us a necessary adjunct. But la
Dor is not rising up to the level of this
wonderful prosperity, and its unrest is
caused by its struggle to break through
the restraining crust. This crust Is
nothing more or less than discrimina-
ion-discrimination that fayors the
aggregation of capital" ut the expense
of the employee. 1t Is this discrimina-
ton that makes the Republican party
SO strong financially, and renders it an
easy matter to raise huge corruption
funds. 1t is this discrimination that
the Democratic party is striving to
break down, and which it will break
down If 1t gets into power.-Oshkosh
