To secure the best results in the care OF
milk and butter, attention must be given

EDITORIAL NOTES,

Mem have a right to believe what
they please. Any man has right to
believe, for instance, that Mckinley
is unfriendly to the trusts, although
they supported him in 1896, and are
actively working to secure his re-
nomination and reelection. Any man
has right to believe that Mckinley
is unfriendly to the trusts, notwith-
standing this evidence, but do you
think the man who would think so,
capable of self government to say
nothing of helping to govern the Fill
ipinos?
The paper trust has increased the
cost of the white paper used by the
newspapers of the country, thirty-three
per cent in three months, and the
result is that it has converted some
rabid protectionist, Republican papers
into advocates of free trade-in paper.
The editors of these papers, in their
sober moments, now admit that the
tariff does have something to do with
trusts.
For two months, 1900 men hitherto
employed at Cramps ship yard, have
been on strike for ten per cent ad-
vance in wages to make partial return
to them for an advance of twenty per
cent in the cost of living. These men
are of the opinion that the widely
touted prosperity is cramped in their
case.-EX.
President Gates of the American
Steel and Wire Company, better known
as the steel trust, testified before the
Industrial commission, that his con-
Germ sold goods more cheaply abroad
than at home. He did not, however,
consider that reason why the tariff
on steel and wire should be abolished.

.SldencN with which to prove it, the
subtle has no choice Jut to concur in
b's verdict.
Secressry Gage permitted some very
spmarknble letters to go to congress-.
Probably his experience as a banker
and his inexperience as a public man
caused him to fail to realize how they
would impress the public. The evil
dence shows that of late he has util-
lied the long-distance telephone IN
discussing matters of. state with the
New York banking trust. The tele-
phone tells no tales. But some letters
have been written and are in the pos
session of congress, and the following
is sample of the reading they fur
nish:
Under date of June 5, 1897, A. B.
Hepburn, vice-president Of the Nation
al City Bank, wrote Secretary Gage
asking that his bank enjoy the free
use of government funds, adding: "Of
course, the bank is very strong, and IL
you will take pains to look at our list
of directors you will see that we also
have very great political claims in
view of what was done during the can
vass last year."
Among the directors of the National
City Bank who had very great po-
litical claims" were William Rockefel
o. Havemeyer, president Of the Sugar
trust; Robert Bacon, of the firm of ].
Pierpont Morgan; H. Walter Webb,
one of the Vanderbilts and vice-presi-
dent of the New York Central, and
Jacob Schiff, of the Union Pacific syn
dictate.
This group of men represented some
four million dollars of contributions to
Mark Hanna's campaign fund. 1t is
needless to say that they asked for
and received their dividends on this
generous contribution. An eXamina-
ton of the statements of the National
City Bank shows how the government
deposits jumped from 100000 on May
IA, 1897, three weeks before the writ
ing of the letter above quoted, to $685.
100000 in September, 1899.
These are matters of public record,
and show that the political pull which
this bank has exerted with the admin
istration has given it such prestige
that it is now the most powerful bank
ing institution in the country. From
a bank of no great fame, four years
ago, it now has deposits of over $780,
100000, on which it reaps profits Of
over S4,OO0,000 year on capital
which until recently was only S1,OOO,-

GREAT FORTUNES.

The new Duke of Westminster inher-
its what is said to be the greatest for
tune in England, represented by an in
come of $3,000,O00 or $4,000 900 a year
from landed estates in London. 1t is
estimated that if he should live to the
age of the late duke the renewals of
the London leases will bring his in
come up to twelve or fourteen million
dollars.
This estimate may be affected by
future circumstances. If Great Britain
continues her policy of imperialism,
and rashly engages in foreign wars it
may be necessary to resort to a land
tax, in which case the Westminster es-
tates may be less profitable. But at
any rate, even on the highest estimate,
the richest peer in England can only
hope to reach in fifty years an income
equal to that already enjoyed by the
richest Standard Oil magnate in this
country.
In both countries the methods of
acquiring these great fortunes are
the same. In England the landown-
ers, being also owners of the goveru-
ment, have exempted themselves from
their share of the public burdens ex-
cept in the matter of the income tax,
which yielded last year SS5,000,00O.
In this country the monopolists, own
ing the state governments as far as
was necessary and the federal govern.
ment occasionally, have exempted
themselves alike from private COMPETE
ton and public control and from any
adequate share in the taxation, with
results more than matching those of
English landowners.
1t has taken 300 years of the growth
of London to build up the Westminster
property, while the far richer property
of our Standard Oil barons is the
growth of only thirty years-and it
was never growing faster than now

of Admission to Be Charged.
other News of the Pugilists.

| The most attractive card ever offered
| by the Metropolitan Athletic Club will
+ be the bout between Eddie Kennedy
and Jack Bennett tomorrow night.
For the first time in the history of the
club, local lovers of the game will have
to choose a Pittsburger if they want to
play favorites. Most of them will
choose Eddie Kennedy, who has made
| a splendid impression here, and has
never been defeated.
| A big crowd OF Pittsburgers will come
down. Reports from the Smoky City
are to the effect that the B. & o. special
will bring enough people to fill all the
seats in the club house. A Pittsburg
sport wanted to buy all the reserved
chairs, but a few are still left to be
disposed of to patrons in Wheeling and
elsewhere.
There has been some misunderstand-
ing about the prices of admission, and
this fact has caused a great amount OF
the grumbling which has been heard.
The prices will be two, three and fiye
dollars. The row of seats next to the
ring will be held at the top figure. All
the other seats inside the railing will
be three dollars. All the seats hereto
fore selling for one dollar, will be two
dollars Monday night.
Here is a Pittsburg opinion of the
result, from the sporting editor OF the
News of that city:
On Monday night there is to be bat
tie between two local men, Ed. Ken
nedy and Jack Bennett are to meet in
a 20-round bout at Wheeling Not long
ago there was expressed an opinion in
this paper as to the comparativ merits
OF these two young men, and the con-
clusion arrived at was that Kennedy
ought to be able to defeat Bennett.
There has been nothing to change this
notion. Kennedy ought to be able to
knock Bennett out, despite the clever
ness of the latter. Kennedy is a fighter
and Bennett is not. In saying this l
am only repeating what has been said
here already.
There is much dpending on the ref
cree. An official who has charge of
battle wherein one man is boxer and
the other is a fighter has much to pro-
nounce upon. A refree of judgment
can easily see when a man is fighting
for FOUL and when the other is using
his best endeavors not to make one. If
this distinction is observed by the
referee on Monday night do not think
that Bennett will be the winner in any
shape or form.
