The man whom Blondin carried
across the gorge of the Niagara
on tight rope many years ago is still
alive in Chicago at the age of Y. His
name is Harry Colcord and his bust
ness that of portrait and landscape
painting. AS the story of his ex
plot existed only in newspaper
files, Mr.. Jarvis Blume. a justice
of the peace in Chicago, has is
sued a pamphlet containing the first
connected account. and it abounds in
thrilling details. ColcOrd in his early
days spent four years on a whaler. His
physique was we'll seasoned when he
fell in with BlOndin, and his weight
was 135 pounds. In crossing Niagara
his chief part was to forget that he had
the power of Independent movement.
Three times he was carried over on the
rope, and that was enough, for the hor-
ror of the business grew upon him.
When he has the nightmare now it
takes the form of hanging on Blondin's
shoulders and gazing down on the
masses of people and swirling waters
270 feet below. Blondin stumbles, and
he wakes w feeling that the dream
affects him more than the reality

FIGHTING THE TRUSTS.

The organization Of the commercial
travellers ANTITRUST club has been per-
fected. and is now in good working or
der. This is good start in the direc-
ton of relieving the country of the
oppression of trusts.
Many of these travelling statesmen
have already rendered their services TO
Mr. Bryan, and the organization is
pledged to work for his election. The
members are wise in their generation,
and they know there is nothing in the
Republican record or platform to give
them encouragement.
Trusts destroy competition and with
out competition the usefulness of the
commercial traveller passes and with
him goes the best customers of the no.
tells.
Everybody who has investigated this
subject knows there will be tremen-
dous struggle before the country can be
relieved of the evil of monopolistic
combines, especially as the administra-
ton is Offering the trusts every en-
couragement by accepting campaign
aid at their hands.
The refusal of the attorney general to
enforce the law or redeem the obviously
insincere pledges of his party to correct
the abuses which have grown up I'M
der the present system has given the
trusts almost unlimited influence at
Washington, and almost incalculable
funds to use for the protection of their
ill-gotten privileges and dangerous
power.
Four years ago the commercial trav-
elers of the cast were almost without
exception working for McKinley's cleo
ton, and their potentiality as a factor
in politics was frequently acknOwl-
edged by the Republican leader in that
campaign.

NO WAR OF VENGEANCE.

President Mckinley is quoted by a
Pittsburg paper as saying that what
ever has happened in China. we shall
wage no war of vengeance
This is a sublime sentiment entitled
to rank with that other from the same
source: I'VE want no wars of con-
quest; we must avoid the evil of terri
torial aggression.
Meantime, wouldn't it be just as
well. in view of the presidents reluc-
lance to wage a war of vengeance
in China, no matter what has hap
pened, for administration newspapers
to cease attempting to justify our war
in the Philippines by calling attention
to a massacre said 20 have been
planned, but never executed.
I'VE shall wage no war of ven
geance.''

AN OMNIBUS PARALLEL.

Ii Hung Chang proposes that the
foreigners in Pekin, who he insists are
alive. be brought down the river under
an escort of Chinese imperial troops
to a place of safety. That is precisely
the proposition made in 1851 by the
notorious Mana Sahib to the little band
of English in the city of CawnpOre.
The similarity Of the situations is
startling The logical conclusion is
full of foreboding.
The Sepoy mutiny was at its height.
Il was another bitter outbreak against
foreigners. The thousand English
men, women and children in Cawnpore
were huddled in an old military hos
pital behind mud walls. They had va
liantly wlthstood attack after attack
until the superstitious Sepoys began to
fear them and they could even make
little sallies TO capture guns-just as
it is reported the legation guards in
Pekin have done.
Then Mana Sahib concluded to par
ley, He sent Azimoolah Khan to the
English. Azimoolah Khan was a Mo-
hammedan, who had been a London
society fdvorite. but, oily and insinuat-
ing as he was, he had not half the
wiles of Ii Hung Chang or many an
other Chinese diplomat. The English
were promised food and boats and a
safe passage down the Ganges to Ada
habad. provided they would lay down
their arms. They gave up their means
of defense and marched in a sad pro-
cessiOn to the. boats, carrying their
sick and wounded.
Suddenly from all sides came a hail
OF bullets and grapeshot. All the men
were killed before or after capture eN-
cept four, who ran the gauntlet of fire
and escaped.
The l25 surviving women and chil-
dren were taken back to a prison house
and submitted to all manner of indig-
mites.
Finally, when the English army was
approaching, two Hindoo peasants. two
MOhammedau butchers and a Moham-
medan member of Nana's bodyguard
entered the prison house armed with
swords. Five swords were broken in
This work of the shambles.
When the English took Cawnpore
they came upon a well filed with the
fostering arms, limbs and other frag-
ments of the bodies Of 125 women and
children.
And il is not a favOrite practice of
the Hindoos to put members of their
own race to death by slow slicing.

THE NEXT HOUSE.

It is pretty clearly settled that the
next house of representatives will be
controlled by the Democrats, no mat
ter what the result of the presidential
election. Secretary Babcock of the Re
publican congressional campaign com
mittee admits that the outlook is dis
couraging for the Hannaites. He has
given out the following interview:
THE south viii send 12O Democratic
representatives to congress from the
states that win also give their cleo
toral votes 10. the Democratic candi-
dates. That is a big nucleus, a certain
nucleus, which nothing can prevent
and around which the Democrats have
in the past gathered their majorities.
For our part, the. states which will
give their electoral votes to the Repub-
licans viii at the same time have 40
per cent. Of their congressional delega-
lions Democratic. Just look at the
Democratic representation in this CON
gress from New York. Pennsylvania.
New Jersey and other stroHghOlds of
Republication on national issues. The
election Of Republican electors from
the state Of New York is not going TO

ratives from New York city districts

In The northwest there are some dis

BOER ENJOYS AT PARIS.

Yesterdays dispatches from Paris in
dictate that the Boer ENJOYS, Messrs.
Fischer, Walmarens and Vessels. were
we'll received in Paris and cordially
treated by the French government.
This will occasion no surprise to those
who are acquainted with American his
tory. This was the treatment accorded
Franklin. Jay and Adams when they
were abroad representing a weak peo-
pie struggling for national iudepend-
ence against the will of a superior
government"
France has been ever ready to en-
courage young republics. Out of the
sentiment so Wen represented by La

born. That the spirit still lives is
shown by the reception of the Boer

paper trust has doubled its prices: cot
ton goods have been advanced 50 per cent,
and the leather trust has increased the
price of boots and shoes
There is not one of these trusts that
has not materially reduced the cost of

combination and consolidation by which
