When lay of hopeless love or glory won,
Aroused the fearful or subdued the proud.
At each according pause was heard aloud
Thine ardent symphony sublime and high!
Fair danes and crested chiefs attention

For stir the burden of thy minstrelsy
Was knighthood's dauntless need, and
Beauty's inatclless eye.

DROVE A GOOD BARGAIN.
American Capitalists Secure {
Franchise for Electric Railway
System in London.

Chicago, Ill.,, Sept 29.-American cap
ital will build a great underground cleo
trio railway system in London. Charles
Il. 1erkes is backed in his great enter
prise by Marshall Field, l.. u. Letter,
John ]. Mitchell and Norman 3. Ream
of Chicago, and by the Widener- Elkins-
Ryan syndicate of Philadelphia.
The amount of money to be invested in
the new London system is S12,00O,0OO,
and the capitalists who will furnish this
amount are the foregoing, largely the
same men who combined their forces a
year or two ago for the rehabilitation Of
the Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad.
Drove Good Bargain.
The So 100000 which is to be invested
will practically all be available for CON
struction purposes. According to advices
received by local interests, Mr.. Yerkes
drove clever bargain and paid not over
SloO,0OO net for the charter. The full
name of the corporation which thus has
fallen into Chicago hands is the Charing
Cross, Euston Il Hampstead under
ground railroad. The whole work OF
construction will be on the most approved
modern American plan. Materials neces
sary for the work will be furnished III
this country. and it is understood that as
soon as Mr.. Yerkes arrives fortnight
hence he will let the contracts.
The Documents Signed.
London, Sept. 20-Chares r. Yerkes'
position as a street car magnate in Lon
don became assured when the documents
were signed giving him possession, as
head Of the American syndicate, Of the
parliamentary rights and charters for
the construction Of an underground cleo
trio railway from Charing Cross to
Hampstead. 1t cost Mr. Ierkes
less than 100000 to secure the
much desired papers. For tins
amount he received, aside from the priv
leges authorized by the British Parlia-
ment, 451 shares Of stock held by the old
company, the face value being 500 each,
but on which only $40 each has been paid
up, and $500, 900 worth of English con
soils, deposited by the original company
with the board Of trade as a guarantee
that the project for the new railway
would be carried out according tc the
plans specified in the government fran
chise.
That Mr.. Yerkes drove an excellent
bargain is evident when it is stated that
the purchase cost him barely $1o0,OUO.
and that, too, after the old company had
paid the cost of attorneys fees, survey
ing and other preliminary expenses at
tached to promoting the city railway.

DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN STOCK.
HOLDER IN AN OCTOPUS.
Bryan's Campaign Manager Holds
Cotton Ginners by the Throat-The
Round Cotton Bale Trust and Why
Bryan Does Not Denounce 1t.

Senator j. Il. Jones, Chairman of the
Democrat National Committee, is a
defendant in a proceeding brought I'M
der the antitrust law of Texas. He has
company in his trouble. John r..
Searies, we'll known in Wall street as
one of the biggest trust magnates," is
a co-defendant. The Texans have
placed these two gentlemen under fire
because they are the heaviest stock
holders in a concern known as the
American Cotton Company. John e.
SearleS is President of the OrganlZa
National Committee says his company
is but large business concern but
the Texans-and Texas is a Democratic
State-think differently. 1t is charged
that the Jones-Searles combination con-
stitutes conspiracy against lawful
trade and free competition.
The American Cotton Company is a
monopoly if there ever was one. Not
only is entrenched behind S7,O0O,OO0
capital stock, but it is fortified by pat
ents which exclude the possibility Of
competition. Nicoll's Stock Exchange
Handbook, a recognized authority,
says: THE American Cotton Company
is corporation which controls the pat
ents for machinery and processes in
making round lap bales"
Controls word itself Is sug-
2estiye of the Octopus" 1t is the word
over which Mr.. Bryan fumed in his ST.
Louis denunciatiOn of trusts. Every
cotton ginning plant in the South must
have one Of the machines manufactured
by the American Cotton Company.
They save time and money. The cotton
ginner must make his arrangements
with the Jones-Searles combination 1t

Of his nomination THIS year, the price
Of ten of the principal farm products
increased 45.8 per cent. There was not
single decrease in price of these arti-
cles, which include wheat, corn, oats,
lard, mess pork, beef, cotton, wool, hay
or butter.
Against this the increase Of the arti-
cles bought by farmers was only 10
per cent. There was an actual de-
crease in the price Of sugar and tea, and
small increases in the price Of rice,
sisal iron, petroleum, tin plate, leath
en- sugar and cotton cloth.
In every case bushel Of wheat will
buy more to-day than it would four
years ago.
These statements are all official and
can be verified from the public rec
ords. The assertions of the Demo
crafts and Mr.. Bryan four years ago
that McKinley's election would bring
misery, have in every case been dis
proved. The farmers know the differ
ence between distress and prosperity,
and they are not likely to vote to bring
about that old condition.

The ginner must come to the terms of
the combination. He can deal no place
else. He cannot even buy independence
from this 100000 combination.
The American Cotton Company re-
fuses to sell its product. 1t leases it's
machines. The manufacturer attaches
one to his plant and yearly pays tribute
to the American Cotton Company. So
great are the profits Of this combina-
ton that in the short time the concern
has been in existence Senator Jones is
said to have risen from the estate of a
comparatively poor man until he is
now regarded as a millionaire. And the
Southern ginners continue to swell the
bank account Of the Democratic cam
pafgn manager.
William Jennings Bryan, in his de-
nunciatiOn of trusts at ST Louis, gave
a list Of the great corporations Of the
country; but he left out the American
Cotton Company and the American Ice
Company. The others he denounced;
but these two great Democratic organi
cations he ignored. He exclaimed:
Those who attempt to divide private
monopolies into good monopolies and
bad monopolies will never make any
progress toward the overthrow of
trusts
Therefore Mr.. Bryan will not succeed
as trust smasher. Even in making
his division in monopolies Mr.. Bryan
showed strong discrimination He speci-
fled such concerns as the Federal Steel
Company. Yet this combination is only
one of several iron and steel companies
in the country. No one is forced to do
business with the Federal Steel. There
are the American Steel and Wire Com
pany, the Republic Iron and Steel Com
pany, the National Steel Company, the
Carnegie Company, and there are 9TH
ers
But Mr.. Bryan made his division in
favor of. the American Ice Company,
which had absolute control over the
prices in New York City, and which,
last spring, turned upon the poor Of the
tenement house districts and added to
it's wealth by the suffering of the pow
erty-stricken; and Mr.. Bryan also
makes his division in favor of a concern
which is SO strongly fortified that every
cotton-ginning plant in the United
States is forced to pay tribute to it. 1t
depends, when Mr.. Bryan denounces
trusts, upon whose OK is being gOred.

THE CATHEDRAL AT MONA,
Curious Relics in the Town Where
Humbert was Killed

The cathedral dedicated to st. Giovan-
hi is undoubtedly the chief object of in
terest. 1t was built in the Fourteenth
century, the architecture being in the
Lombard Gothic style. Marco da Cam
phone, who deservedly won much fame
for the artistic nature Of his work, was
the designer of this handsome edifice,
which he built on the site OF Il church
founded in 500 by the famous Lombard
queen, TheodOlinda.
The cathedral has double aisles and
transept, and is fanked on both sides
with chapels. Should your eye chance
to rest above the portal you will notice
4 very curious relief, which represents
Queen Theodolinda amid her treasures,
while below is a design portraying the
baptism Of Christ.
In the east transept is relief repre-
sentlng the coronation of the Emperor
Charles ".
The celebrated iron crown with which
the German Emperors were crowned as
Kings of LOmbardy is preserved in the
chapel to the right of the choir. This is
the identical relic which was used ut
Y. in 1880. Of Napoleon in 1905 and of
the Emperor Ferdinand |. in 1888.
1t consists of a broad hoop of golj
adorned with precious stones, round the
interior Of which is thin strip of iron,
which, tradition says, was made from
one of the nails of the cross. which was
brought by the Empress Helena from
Palestine.
1t is. interesting to recall that it was
used as the royal crown of the Lom-
bards from the time of Theodolinda on
ward, though its. present form is proba-
bly, of the Twelfth century
It was carried off by the Austrians in
1859. but after the peace Of 1866 was re
stored. and since then charge of 3
francs is made for viewing the venerable
relic.
The visitor to the cathedral should GER
tainly see the treasury, which is a veri-
table repository Of objects of historic in
terest.- To begin with, there is a hen
with seven eggs 2;g in pure, gold-the idea
being one Of Theodolinda's, to symbolic
Lombardy and it's seven provinces.

Big Trees in Danger Of Being Logged.
Lumbermen are cutting down the big

trees, came into possession of lumber

the pyramids and most Of the temples in
Egypt. Congress can save these groves
by making national parks Of them, and
an effort will be made to have it done

quickly if it is to succeed. 1t comes near
