Sheridan,s BirthpIace.

If the events of coming fame would
cast longer shadow before, an admir-
ing people would keep more careful
record of the birthplaces of smen des-
tined to be heroes. In this way much
controversy might be saved.
An old New Hampshire man of
former generation, who may have
thought that he saw fame coming his
way, wished to establish at least one
fact beyond a doubt. TO this end lie
began a speech in his native town by
saying: Il was born in Blanktown, l
was always born in Blanktown. and 1
always meant to be born in Blank
town."
Among the heroes of many battles
and of more than one reputed birth
place, was Gen. Philip Sheridan. AL
bany, n. Y, claims him as her son, and
wishes to erect an equestrian statue
to him. State Historian Hugh Hast
ings ably backs up the claim. Ohio
also claims Sheridan for the town of
Somerset. And when he was mention
ed as a possible candidate for the Presi-
dency, it was said that he was born in
Ireland. This led Sheridan to tell Mr..
Hastings, with emphasis, that he was
born in Albany, n. Y.
Even then the public gossips were not
satisfied, and other places still pressed
their claims. This provoked Gen. Sher
idan to remark:
IF this thing keeps on. / soon shall
be bigger man than old Homer, with
more than seven cities contending for
my birth"
The claim of Albany seems strong
enough to warrant the statue.

Hunting for Republicans.

Mr. Hanna has agents scouting

ers of the Republican party. All such
worthy persons who are found and
whe are still members of the party will

Committee. Transportation will be fur

no invitation to this gentleman to be

own guest at St. Louis four years ago
when Mr. Hanna founded himself. and
his behavior there was not such as to
commend him TO the HannaiteS. The
Coloradan has since then assisted in the
establishment of a new party-one, he

Making Cabinets

Republican editors are now engaged
in the pleasant occupation of making
cabinets for Bryan, says the Chicago
Democrat. OF course, Bryan has not
yet been nominated for President
much less elected, but Republicans fear
both contingencies and are trying to
create bogy out of an imaginary cab
met which they urge Bryan would Sc
lect. This is an old trick long ago ex-
hausted of any effect on the public, and
this cabinet-building on the part of Re
publican editors can only result in a
waste of time and an exposition of the
makers contempt for the intelligence
of the public.
Discussing this question, the New
York Mail and Express names Senator
Allen of Nebraska as BryaE's choice
for Secretary of State. Suppose that
Allen should be selected. He couldn't
do worse than John Hay has done. In
all probability be would do much bet
ter. Certainly Allen would never sur
render American rights to Great Brit
ain as Hay has done. He would not
advise the construction of the Near
aqua canal for the special benefit of
Europe, as has the present Anglo
maniac who masquerades as an Ameri-
can Secretary OF State.
Apropos of this, the Pittsburg Post
well says. There would be none of the
weakness of Mckinley in Bryan's selec-
ton Of a cabinet No public man of our
day has a better knowledge of the lead
ers Of American political thought than
Bryan. For eight years his life has
been among them, and he has in all
that time been brought in close contact
not only with the masses OF the people
as no other American statesman has
been, but he has learned to know and
weigh the capacity and integrity of po-
litieal leaders. who viii naturally go
into the cabinet Of a new President
But. after all, the Republican editors
are complimentary Bryan by their at
tempts to make a cabinet for him. This
is the best evidence that the Republi-
can editors fear Bryan's success at the
polls next November, and are endeav-
oring TO brighten the people by horrible

RockefeIler,s Income,

Allowing for the increased produc-
tons in sales in 1899 over those of
1897, it appears that the increased
profits of the Standard Oil Company
from both crude and refined oil
amounts to $27,00O0O0 This is at the
rate of $7000,000 per quarter, and is
therefore not enough to account for
the increase,of S12, 5G0.0O in quarterly
dividends. Where the other So ,000, 600
came from does not appear on the face
of the returns. 1t Is notable fact that
one man, John d. Rockefeller. owns q
majority of the stock of the Standard
Oil Company. His personal profits from
this project alone are more than S10,-
100000 for three months, or 100000

Trusts Raise Prices.

III ever there was a 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 refEers came to an end.
after having lasted nearly two years,
and the price of refined sugar was adj
Yanced three times within a few days
1t goes without saying that the charge
for this advance comes from the pocket
of the consumer-the workingnlan who
buys few pounds for his family, the
child indulging in a 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 hes 10
pay the additional charge; and il is by
this simple process that little rivulets
of money from every city and village
in the land make Mississippis of wealth

same with gas, and ice and steel, all of
which have been raised abnormaly in

products. Tie people are aroused ON
