Antitrust Legislation.

With the charges of Imperialism
and of favOring trusts the Republi-
cans find themselves quite at sea
in the leading national political
questions this campaign year, and
it is now said that the Republican
party is going to make some show
at fighting trusts, even if such ac-
ton is only taken as blind. They
find out that they must do some
thing to relieve them of the charge
that they are friends and defend
ers of trusts. Now that the presi-
Dental campaign is close at hand
they are talking of putting a plank
in their national platform against
trusts.
A subcommittee of the house
committee on the judiciary has
agreed to report two measures
against trusts. One is to provide
an amendment To the constitution,
giving congress the authority to
deal with them, while the other
proposes certain additions to the
Sherman law of 1890.
If such measures were To be re-
ported there is no probability that
either one of them would be passed
at this session of congress, and the
full judiciary committee has not
acted upon them yet, and it is
doubtful if the Republicans will
agree for them 10 be acted upon
promptly. They would rather
have them to use aS campaign mat
ter, AMI rs a possible threat against
the trusts. The latter may be in
formed that they are expected to
contribute largely to the Republi-
can campaign fund, or the anti
trust bills will he passed at the
next session of congress, but it is
very doubtful if the matter will be
preSSe further than above out
lined, for it will take Il long time
To get the states To rdtitv the
amendment, should congress sub
nit i t. them, and the trusts will
oppose it in both houses and in
everyone OF the legislatures,

Uses of Bisulphide of Carbon.

Prof l.. O. Howard, the government
entomologist, reports the use of bisulphide
of carbon against clothes moths. The
clothes are stored away in a wooden
chest. In the cover of the chest is large
auger hole with a sponge tied immediate
~ below it, In midsummer a few drops
of bisulphide of carbon are poured
through the anger hole on the sponge,
and the hole is then closed with a cork
the fumes being heavier than air, sink
down into the chest and destroy every
living thing.
The same method substantially would
prove etficaciOus i'll protecting seeds,
grain, etc.

The Dewey Movement.

There i considerable speculation
as to why Admiral Dewey keeps
back the statement relative 10 his
candidacy, promised some days ago.
1t is known that he has been in
consultation with Il number of
friends in regard to it. 1t may be
that the admiral thinks the time
is not yet ripe for i.
1t Is stated that Il member of the
Democratic national committee
wrote to him a few days ago and
asked him number of pertinent
questions bearing upon his candi-
dacy, one of them being whether
he would stand by the nominee of
the Kansas City convention pro-
vided he permitted his name to 90
before that convention for thenom-
nation. Another was a. 10 his
position respecting certain dcclara-
tons in the Chicago platform.

til it is definitely settled in his
mind that he stands no show for
the presidency. The admiral has
no following for first place on the
Democratic ticket. The great ma
jority of Democrats are satisfied
that the nominee for president has
been decided upon, and there is no
probability of a change.
Admiral Dewey's expected state
ment is looked for with something
more than passing interest. 1t may
help to greatly clear up the situa-
ton so far as he is concerned, and
may, at the same time, give some
surprise. AS far as we can see, We
should not be at all surprised if it
never appears.

crsditabIe State Finances.

It is well to call attention TO the
excellent financial condition of the
state of Florida at the present time.
The condition of affairs is certainly
a credit to the Bloxham admins
tration. The governors recent
proclamation, reducing the state
tax from 3 to q mills on the dol
lar, will be heartily appreciated by
all tax payers, both resident and
nonresident.
During the past few years a float
ing debt in the shape of notes,
signed by the governor. in behalf
of the state, authorized by the leg
islature, have been paid to the sum
of two hundred thousand dollars,
and this was accomplished with
out any increase of taxation.
All this speaks well for Florida.
1t shows that the affairs of the state
are economically administered, and
that our government is conducted
on plain straightforward business
principles.
Is it any wonder that the people
are satisfied with Democratic adj
ministration when we contrast the
levy of q mills this year against
II mills levied by the Republicans
in the last year of their rule of state
affairs ?

THE duty of the people has been
made plain by a Republican con-
gress and the president. Those
who believe in free government, in
the constitution of the United
States, that citizens of this country
should not be taxed without rep
resentatiOn, must oppose the re-
election of Mckinley and stay the
progress of Imperialism.

The preachers of Laporte, Ind,
are determined that "Sapho" shall
not be performed in that city il
they can possibly prevent it. They
have appealed to the law, and il
that fails they say they will station
themselves at the doors of the
theater and take down the names of
every person who attends the per
formance, and read the list from
their pulpits. Whether this is in
tended more as IA bluff, or whether
they are ready to indulge in per
sonalities with the members of their
congregations it is hard to say, and
remains To be seen.

A Faithful Dog.

Many hundred years ago there lived
at Athens dog whose faithfulness
has caused him TO be mentioned in
history. and In the Grecian city his
story is often repeated.
The dog guarded one of the heather
temples at Athens. One night thief
stole into this building and carried off
some of the most valuable treasures.
The dog vaInly barked his loudest 10
brighten the thief and TO rouse the
Keepers as the man went off with the
Jewels. But the faithful dog did not
mean TO lose sight of the rascal. and
all through the night he followed him.
BY daybreak the poor animal had be
come very weary. but still he kept the
robber in sight. The latter tried 10
feed him. and as he made friends with
the passersby he took 1t from them in
stead. Whenever the thief stopped to
rest the dog remained near him, aud
soon a report went through the coun-
try OF the animals strange behavior.
The keepers of the temple. hearing
the story. went In search of the dog.
and they found him still ut the heels
of the thief at a town called CrOnyon.
The robber was arrested, taken back
to Athens and there punished. The
Judges were so pleased with the dog :
sagacity and faithfulness that they or
dered him To be fed every day for the
rest of his life ut the public expense.

Sure Enough Tale.

In one OF the private schools here in
town there is n small boy who is al
ways cheerfully miles behind every
body else. He Is not a dull boy, but
learning does not appeal to him as be-
ing thing especially to be desired.
Recently the teacher told the class in
composition that on the next day she
would expect each of them to he able
to write short anecdote. She eX-
planned with great care the meaning OF
the word anecdote. and next day when
she called the class up to write all but
the laggard went at once to work.
why don't you write an anecdotc,
Rob-" asked the teacher.
Il forget what an anecdote is said
Rob, undisturbed.
Il explained to you yesterday, Rob,
and you ought to remember" said the
teacher, bit out of patience. AN
anecdote is tale. Now write"
Rob bent over his slate and. with
much twisting Of brow and writing
of lip ground ont his task. When the
states were collected, his was at the
very top Of the heap. The teacher
picked 1t up, and this is what she read:

Kills the Song.

Clifton Bingham, the author of ON
Old Madrid" Loves Old Sweet Song"
and THE Dear Homeland" once said:
The moment a song is put 'on the
streets, as we call it, it becomes ire
mendously popular. You hear it every.
where. Every boy huns il as he goes
to school, 1t is played in every street.
But my Publisher shakes his head sad
ly when that day comes. 1t is general
ly the beginning of the. cnd-a boom
which dies away. People get tired Of
hearing the same song wherever the
go, whatever the song may be. and the
song of the barrel organ is not wei
come in the drawing room. So that
the putting Of Il song on the street or
Gans means a tieeting fame. and then
well, too often an utter relapse ana
