The Sentinel is troubled about the horse
shoe trust, and the salt trust, and other
trusts. real or imaginary. chiefly the latter.
Its horseshoe trust Is imaginary. while it's
salt trust is a combination which is not a
monopoly. Perhaps the Sentinel is work
ing up to it and in time will come to one
OF the trusts that hurt. These are the COM
binations in localities which control a per-
ishable commodity that has become
necessity. A few weeks ago the New York
Journal took the lead In exposing the
American Ice Company, which has control
of the supply of ice for the city Of New
York. The ice for New York comes by
vessel and must have large dock facilities.
The docks in New York are owned by the
city and controlled by the city officials.
The American Ice Company secured from
the city officials every wharf available for
the handling of large quantities of ice.
This favor secured to the American Com
pany the monopoly Of supplying New York
city with ice. Having also the control of
the stock in the icehouses in Maine, the
American Company was prepared to do
business. 1t cost the managers good deal
of money and stock to get this advantage.
Consequently it was anxious to get its re-
ward. In this the company lacked discre-
ton, because at a single bound ii put the
price up from 20 cents to 60 cents hum
dred pounds to distributors. AS the hot
season was at hand this rise of price
created the loudest howl of indignation
hat ha haa-, ard in Neu York for wars
1t was not only robbing tens of thousands
of poor people of their money. but it was
putting ice beyond the reach of many thou
sands whose need of it is greatest.
Thereupon an investigation was made by
the New York papers. 1t was found that
Boss Croker and his family, Mayor Van
wyck. Judge Van wyck. who writes adj

progress of the suit.
Now these are the trusts that hurt. and

recognized by the agents of Mr.. Bryan as

the money for the campaign. and is to have
the distribution of the patronage in New
| York in the event of the election of Mr..
Bryan. AT least such is the statement of
several independent papers in New York.
Most people will see that this trade with
Croker brings Mr.. Bryan into very close
relation with the most infamous trust in
| the country.

On general principles the operators will not
confer with men who are not in their en-
ployment- Just now the operators have the
additional pretext that Mr.. Mitchell and
his associates are seeking to favor the in
terests of the soft-coal producers, which
any considerable strike in the anthracite
region will greatly promote.
Such is the situation to-day. AS Ii stands,
public sympathy, as has been stated, Is
with the miners. 1t will be entirely with
them if the board. of which Mr.. Mitchell is
president. shall yield to the extent of hav-
ing the requests of the miners presented
by men in the employ of the companies.
President Mitchell has taken occasion to
reiterate the declaration that there is moth
ing political in the strike. Demagogues may
rail at the combinations Of capital to mine
coal. but all sensible people know that no
considerable mine could De developed or
operated without the association of capital.
Unlike bituminous coal, the output of an
thracite Is limited TO a certain field which
is controlled by a comparatively few COM
panies-all subject to state laws. No an
thracite coal coming in competition from
other countries. there is no duty on II to
infame the minds of those who would make
the tariff responsible for the monopoly and
the strike.

The Sentinels report of the Lawton can
non exercises at Fort Wayne says that
Governor Mount made political speech,
declaring that to support the Filipinos was
to desecrate Lawtons memory and the
dedication of the gun was treason and dis
honor if the Filipinos were right" In sup
FORT of this charge it says:
Governor Mount in his speech quoted the
utterances attributed to Gen. Lawton: sIf
come from one of my own men, because /
know from observation, confirmed by cap
tured prisoners, that the continuance OF
this fighting is chiefly due to reports that
are sent out from America"
Governor Mount added: IF this cannon
was not captured in just and humane
war and from those resisting the lawfully
constituted authorities over these islands
and lighting the soldiers of the government
that had liberated them from Spanish
thralldom. then where is the honor of the
capture and the glory of this gift? Honor
these insurgents as patriots and you in
terpret wrongfully the words the will and
the act of our dead hero; then this service
becomes mockery and this trophy of
patriotic valor becomes a monument to the
cishonor of soldiers and the shame of
our country.
Although Governor Mounts speech was
printed in full in the Journal yesterday
this portion is reproduced to show what the
Bryanites call a political speech in this
campaign. A part of the foregoing extract
Is Gen. Lawton's own words, and the rest
simply emphasizes the fact that he was
fighting for just and patriotic cause A
party is TO be pitied that is compelled by
the logic of it's position to denounce an
expression of patriotism as politics.
