MesSnge From Nebuchadue.znr See-

The Commissioners yesterday received
letter which it was impossible to dispose
Of in the usual way. It belonged neither
in the Engineer Department nor vet in
that OF Public Charities. 1t did not seem
to apply exactly to street cleaning. though
it proposed clean sweep. Finally it was
decided simply to place it on file and await
Developments
The letter in question was from Benja-
min ], Hunter, who ascrihes to himself
the modest title of .'Nebuchadnezzar the
Second, and the epistIe is dated from
the main building of the Manhattan State
Hospital, Wards Island, N Y. The letter

Sentiment is still hopeful in the Stock
Market Beginning at the close Of last
week. after the bank statement some of
the important people have been buying Sc
curtties, apparently for q prediction
boom. So at least the Street generally be-
neYes. and there are very good reasons for
the belief. What these big spectators Will
dc later is another matter. They talk now
OF permanent advance on account of the
good things in the situation. but il is not
impossible that if they succeed in forcing
prices up several points this month they
may be willing TO sell out and take their
profits, say, in the week before election.
There are many that say this is the pro-
sramme, as at present outlined. They do
not look for the present advance TO be a
permanent one. Even many people bull
ishly inclined On the general market sit
uation expect to be able to buy securities
again during the next few weeks at prices
not much. if any, higher than the present

since November, 1896, to emascn-

and with it the ousting of Bryan,
but their efforts have met with con-
slant defeat. Bryan has CALAMITY
stood by his colors and borne down
all opposition. The Nebraska State
convention crowned the defeat Of
the gold Democrats. Bryan made
a stlong speech at the convention
in which he outlined the main fea-
lures of the platform which will be
adopted by the National convention
of his party, and in that speech
not one backward step was taken,
but the financial question, includ-
ing bimetalism, with anti-trusts
and anti-imperialism, were fore
Swallowed, and will be the most
prominent planks in the platform.

The Railroad Trust.

The railroads of the United States are
now formed into FIVE groups The Van
derbilt group, composed of fourteen
roads; the Cassatt group, composed of two
long lines and their branches; the ]. P.
Morgan group, composed of four lines
and their branches; the ]. Hill group,
composed of the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern; the Hartman Rookie
Teller group, composed of fifteen roads.
These combined groups embrace about
I85 600 miles of railroads.
When the pool is completed it is to be
governed by board of arbitrator, who
shall have power to vote collectively the
majority stock of all the systems Con-
trolled, and thus create the directors and
officials, whom they can control for the
benefit of the systems. In plain English,
the entire travel and transportation bus
mess of this great country will be in the
power of about dozen men. How long
can this gigantic business Of trust making
go on before the masses Of the people Of
the country will break the chains of party
slavery, kick their parties and the sub
sidized bosses 10 the dogs and order the
government to take possession of the
entire outfit?
The present corporation, trust system
narrows down to the despotic control Of
the entire business of the country indi
rectly, by dozen men. The govern
ment control means that of $4,000, ooc
people. Thinkers among the people are
seriously considering which they will
prefer. The trusts do not propose that
the people shall have an opportunity to
make a choice if they can prevent it
They were so successful beyond their ex
pectation by the use of large corruption
fund in 1896 that they propose using the
same means in 1900.

Reuben Clayton.

The following clipping from the
Montieellonian of Monticello, Ark,
published Jan. 90, was handed ms
this week:
"On Friday night of last week,
at the home Of his son-in- law, Mr..
r. +. Hyatt, Mr.. Reuben Clayton
quietly passed from life to death.
He was one of our oldest citizens,
being 80 years old, and has been
liz ing in Monticello for the past 35
or 40 years. He was one of the
youngest looking and most active
men for his advanced age, that we
ever knew; and up to two or three
weeks ago, at which time he was
stricken with paralysis, he went
about with as much ease as if he
had been no older than so years.
Mr.. Clayton was a member of the
Baptist church of this city, and
md possessed a strong mind, and
was an entertaining and interesting
conversationalist. He was a good
man and his death is deeply de-
plored here, amoung our whole
people, where he had many friends
and no enemies"
The deceased was a son of Thos.
D. Clayton, former resident of
Rising Sun, and brother of Miss
Sarah Jane Clayton, who died at
her home in this town a few years
ago.

Ave cents sn hour. Three cents an hour

with a vengeance While this strike for
higher wages-even five cents an hour
was going on in one of our new Access
sions of territory, Congress was laboring
with the question OF how much tariff
the Portoricans could bear and live, as it
IS necessary to save the trusts in this
country as well as the people in our ''new

Sensational journalism.


The Rev. Charles M. Sheldon
created quite a furore by editing
the Capital, of Topeka, Kas., for
one week, the better to express his
views as to how Christ would edit
a daily paper, surprising he were
engaged in the journal business in
this, the close of the nineteenth
century of the Christian era. There
is one class of very chuwhly critics
who condemn Mr.. Sheldon and his
attempt to demonstrate how he
thinks Christian daily newspaper
should be conducted, by pointing
to the sensation which the good
man created, as being u great wrong
aud u performance that Christ
would never tolerate but severely
condemn.
All new efforts to better condi.
lions inevitably create sensations.
The good brothers who have con-
demned Mr.. Sheldon as a sensa-
tienist, must have been neglecting
their Bibles To all this goody,
goody brotherhood who denounce
sensation we commend the follow
ing verses from John, XII Chap,
IL, 13, Ia and Is verses:
On the next day much people that were come
to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was
coming to Jerusalem.
Took branches of palm trees and went forth tc
meet Him and cried Hosanna Blessed is the
King of Israel that cometh in the name of the
Lord.
And Jesus when he had found young ass sal
thereon as 1t is written,
Fear not daughter of Sion; behold thy King
cometh sitting on an ASS colt.
Here we have described the
biggest kind of a sensation in the
same cause that Rev. Mr.. Sheldon
is laboring to advance. Isn't every
"revival" meeting sensation with
the same object in view?
