London, March 15.-In the house OF
commons. replying to Mr. William
Redmond, Irish Nationalist, who asked
whether the government of the United
States had offered its good ofices TO
her majesty's government, with the
view of bringing about peace in South
Africa, the government leader, Mr..

ment would not accept the interven-
tion of any power in the settlement
of South African affairs.
The following is the text of Mr.. Bal

Tho United States charge d'affaires
March 13 communicated to Lord Sails
bury the following telegram from Mr.
Hay:
"'By way OF friendly and good
offices inform the British minister of
foreign affairs that just received a
telegram from the United States con-
suit at Pretoria reporting that the gov

reCteu Dy the president OF inc gult9U'

that way Will be found to bring about
peace, and to say that he would be
glad in any friendly manner to aid In
bringing about the desired result"
The reading of this dispatch was
greeted with cheers from the ITiSh,
members. Continuing, Mr.. Balfour
said:
Lord Salisbury requested Mr.. NFhite

MARROW EsoAPE
or Four Travelling Men From n
Watery Grave.

So numerous are the country
stores that line the Ohio river be-
tween this city and Huntington,
that travelling men resort to all
sorts of conveyances to reach as
many as possible in given time.
Yesterday four of these progress
sive business men chartered a
naptha launch of w. III. Miller, of
Eureka, Ohio, and commenced
their journey. Arriving at Dickey
Landing, and being about winding
up business, attempted to turn
over the launoh and it's owner to
the steamer Carrie Brown. In
some manner wreck occurred and
MI. Miller and the travelling men
were all introduced to the murky
tide and a general scramble for
safety ensued The owner of the
launch lost cushions, cabin of
boat, a fine Parker gun, costing
$50, etc. All lives were saved.
But now comes the funny side of
the affair:
A. Gebhart, selling hardware out
of Huntington, making a specially
of bellows, blew himself ashore.
j. A. Love, Baltimore, selling
"Bis-ket" baking powder, became
so light he foated until rescued.

The Poor.

Our Overseer of the Poor says
the average Citizen has no idea of
the vast amount of suffering among
the poorer Glasses of our people.
Many appeals for help are made,
but the real fact is that two-thirds
of those in dire necessity are too
modest and backward to ask aid
from the city. Would it not be a
good idea for the family who has
two loaves of bread to make it his
or her business to know whether
their next door neighbor has a
orumb OF not? Wehave hundreds
of wealthy, charitable peoplein our
midst and we hope they will make
some kind of move ia this mat
ter. This is terrible weather on
the poor.

The plea of the Republican party
that the impoverished condition of
the people of Porto Rico demanded
the passage of the tariff bill is
shown to have been false by the
strong protest of Gov. Gen. Davis
and the people of that island, filed
with Congress against the iniquity
of the bill. The Republican party
on the recommendation of the Pres
ident, intended to do the right
thing for the Porto Ricans, but the
trusts had not been consulted and
the right-about wheel of the Con-
gress and the President at the last
moment was in obedience to the
warnings of these trust corpora
tions. It takes big money to run
successfully Republican national
campaign, and it was only necessary
for the money power to remind Re-
publican leaders of this fact --Guth-
rie Leader.

Restriction Upon TRUSTS.

Mr.. Bryan in answer to the con-
tention that restrictions placed up
on the great monopolies known as
trusts" would interfere with the
right of citizen to the free use of
his money and property, says
"There is material difference
between the natural person-fiesh
and blood and oonscienoe-and the
fictitious persons and corpora,
tion.
"Natural persons, no matter in
what State they reside, are much
like their fellows in other States.
All live and labor under the same
natural limitations and under very
similar legal restrictions, but in
the case of corporate persons the
differences are great and material,
depending upon the laws of the
various States.
"The natural man in Nebraska
or Texas cannot complain of com
petition with the natural man in
New York or Massachusetts,, but
the natural man in any State has a
right to expect both from his State
Legislature and from Congress pro-
tection from corporate monopoly
established anywhere.
"It cannot be assumed that the
authors of the Constitution intend
ed to leave Gods creature-man-
defenseless in the presence of mans
oreation-the corporation,
can attempt is already being
made to array labor on the side of
monopoly by the promise of high
or wages, but the wage earners are
too Intelligent to be misled. They
are we'll enough acquainted with
human nature to know that they
cannot afford to place themselves
unreservedly in the hands of trust
magnates, who will be tempted to
use their absolute power for their
own pecuniary advantage.
"CharIes r. Flint, in a speech
made at Boston last May, mention
ed among the advantages enjoyed
by the trusts that "in case of local
strikes or fires the work goes on
elsewhere.
"When trust owns large num-
Der of factories scattered through
out the country it will be able to
dictate terms to employees. Private
monopolies, if permitted to exist,
will control the price of raw ma
terial, the price of labor and the
price of the finished product.

After Tnree Years of fMcI1inlcy,

Three years ago VIM. Mckinley
was sworn in as President of the
United States because of IA popular
belief prevailing in the previous
November that prosperity followed
in his footsteps and that his elect
ion meant more wealth and happi-
ness to all.
What is the situation to, dayf
There is undoubtedly more gener-
al air of prosperity than was the
case on March a, 1897, but this is,
concededly, largely due to the fact
that the period of prostration had
about come to it's end and that the
country settled down to business
again in the old.fashioned way as
soon as the excitement attending
the Presidential election and the
change i'll administration had pass
ed away, and to the further indis-
putable fact that the war with
Spain-undertaken from motives
of humanity originally, in conse-
quence of Democratic pressure, be
it understood-m made work for
thousands in certain callings, be-
sides drawing off into the field and
the fever camps very large proper
ton of the unemployed.
But what else do we see that we
car feel proud of and rejoice in
that is the creation of these three
years? Our flag floats over leprous
Hawaii, it is true, and we have in
stalled an oligarchy there to run
the government, We hold Cuba
supposedly in trust for it's inhabi-
tants, but these latter do not appear
to have much faith in our SINGER
ity, and are mpatiently and sullen-
Iy waiting for us to take our depart
from among them. We are in pos
session of Porto Rico, whose people
welcomed us with open arms as
their deliverers; but these latter
find that we do not keep our prom
Uses and that they were much bot
ter off under Spanish rule than
they are under ours, The Stars
and Stripes wave proudly, no doubt,
in the far-off Philippines-includ-
ing tho harem of the Sultan of Su-
lu-but thero are thousands of new-
made graves and sorrowing widows
and orphans on every hand cursing
the coming of our soldiers to their
shores.
1t is clear that the war underta-
ken for humanity has degenerated
into one for conquest and oppress-
ion-and spoils. 1t is also plain
that William Mckinley, irresolute
but we'll meaning, is II mere play
thing in the hands Of tho men who
secured his election Every thing
that the Nation holds dear has been
sacrificed to tho lust and greed of
these latter. Instead of our SOL
diers being looked on as delivorers
by the former victims of Spanish
tyranny, they are cursed as the in
struments Of moro eXacting and
irresistible despotism. Thousands
of our men have died needlessly on
the tropical battle fields or in hos
pitfalls; our Government debt has
been increased very largely, and so
have our taxes; the trusts are more
powerful than they were, and their
chiefs are more arrogant.
Have we, in view of these facts
not to mention others-any cause
to rejoice to-day that William Nc
Kinloy was inaugurated President
of the Republic three years ago?

The subject of Republican plat
form opposition to the trusts seems
to have been dropped by the party
organs, which are doubtless struck
by the humor that such position
would necessarily embody. A party
whose representatives in govern

lengths to conserve trust interests
would look amusingly foolish in
the role of an opponent of the CON-
bines.

his record sharply down to date.
