The expressions to which the American
people are subjected by the powerful
combinations commonly though errone-
ously called trusts" have been so
effectively demonstrated in detail by
previous articles in this series, that no
better statement of them could now be
made. The evil is universally acknowl-
edged by members of all parties, Repub-
Hcans as much as Democrats, or Popu-
lists. The real and only question is the
ancient one: What are you going to
do about it?'
The very foundation principle of these
trust combinations is restriction. Prob
ably on the theory that fire must always
be fought with fire, every effort thus far
made by legislatures to destroy the pow
er Of so called trusts has been In the
form of still further restrictions One
restriction is piled upon another, and
still a third upon both; and in this way
it Is somehow hoped that liberty will
be established by multiplying restraints
upon liberty. The commerce and trade

The poet has well said that 'fools

Such person as the poet had In mind
is responsible for an article concerning
a young colored woman which ap

tempted to request come one to pre-
scribe an heroic remedy for Negro

aforesaid sheet. A red rag flaunted in

person Of a Negro. will so eDrage an
animal called the jack ass that 1t will
throw all caution 10 the winds. If you
do not believe it ask the editor Of the
Telegram. There are some occurreI ces
which do form a basis for legitimate
news. They serve some purpose or
contain some motive which justities
their publication. Whenever the peace
and happiness of. respectable people are
disturbed by drunken revels; When
ever the morals of a town are being
corrupted by the presence OF brothels
aud their ii mates, the condemnation
of such a state of affairs through the
public press secures some general pur.
pose. But we would like to know
what good resulted from the publlca'
tion of the scurrilous article which 'ap
peared In the Telegram last week con-
cerning young colored woman Of this
town whom they were pleased to term
.sbuxon negress." 1t is quite apparent
that the animosity which prompted this
ehiva,ric gentleman CD to show his
by brid nature by the publication OF
this miasmatic article was due to this
fact that the young woman wore dia'
monds, not that she had supposed
white lover. Surely his supersensitive
nature has become accustomed to such
regrettable things, either by reason OF
observation or because of pe1sonal ex-
perience. 1t is quite likely that he has
given "such an exhibition Of degeneracy
IL this age OF civilization" himself. A
fitting denouement would be the return
of the woman or her lover with good,
stout whip Justify applied to the CARCASS

GREEKS WERE AUTHORS.
They Are Said to Have Been the First
to Employ Punctuation Marks
In Writing.

The art of punctua ton wcs developed
gradually from very ancient times.
Greek scribes before the Christian era
used wedge-shaped sign (V) to mark
new paragraph. Later a pause in the
sense was indicated by a blank space.
point. and sometimes by a slight OBJ
Eque stroke or an apostrophe. In Latin
manuscripts the full points appear
first, and are variously placed on a
level with the top, middle or bottom of
the letters. The invention of the mod
ern system of punctua ton has been at
tributed to Aristophanes, a gram
marian of Alexandria, Jerome used
signs (commata and cola) in his trans
lation of the Scriptures, while in early
English and Irish manuscrip the com
ma is used, and the final stop is marked
by one and sometimes two or more full
points. With the advent of printing.
punctuation was greatly improved and
systema tically adopted about the close
OF the fifteenth century, mainly owing
to the Venetian printer, Manutius. It
is said that al the stops we now use ap-
pear in the 'Arcadia,' 1887, of Sir Sid
ney Smith.

claims are made, but a great many do not

cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells US that one OF
the elements of his cement costs 49, Is pound,
and another 81 IS gallon, while large share

dissolved in water or citric acid, and, in some
cases, altered slightly in color and Oaoc by the
addition of cheap and useless materials.
Majors Cement retails at Is cents and 20
cents bottle, and when dealer tries to sell a
substitute you can depend upon 1t that his
only object is to make q larger profit.
The profit on Majors Cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit of Mr.. Ma.
