THE TRUST QUESTION.

Those who studied the trust ques-
ton In 1886 foresaw that an admins
tration placed in power by the aid of
great monopolies could not be relied
upon to destroy the trusts, but many
who could not be convinced by argu.
ment are now being convinced by the
rapid growth and increased audacity
of private monopolies
Anyone who has read history or I'M
ders'ands human nature knows that
one race cannot cross an ocean and dom
mate another race without keeping an
army ever present to hold the conquer
cd race in subsection. and yet the Re-
publican leaders thought, or pretended
to think, that an imperial policy would
be accepted by the Filipinos with de,
light.

New York, Jan. S.-The Commercial
Advertiser says:
Melville f. ingalls,. president of
the Big Four and the Chesa-
peage and Ohio railroads contemplates
an early retirement from active rail-
road life. Mr.. ingalls, said to-day:
Il do not expect to continue In ac-
tive railroad service much longer. 1
have worked hard for great many
years and have reached period in my
life at which 1 think 1 am entitled to
relaxation and freedom from RESPONSE
bilities and anxieties. I shall withdraw
from the presidencies of the Big Four
and the Chesapeake and Ohio Not
right away, but as soon as matters
have shaped themselves so that I may
retire without causing any inconven-
ience or injury to interests intrusted to
my care"

SALE OF c. AND o. STOCK.

Asked about the alleged large pur-
chases of Chesapeake and Ohio stock
by outside interests, MIR. ingalls, said:
Il really do not know much about
that. Since / have been in New York I
have made inquiries, with no definite
results. I understand that there have
been some very heavy purchases of
Chesapeake and Ohio stock lately. and
from what hear infer that a syndi-
cate is doing the buying. So far as I
am aware. there is nothing in the sto-
ries of q prospective consolidation of
the Chesapeake and Ohio with any
other system. I do not think that the
Baltimore and Ohio interest is con-
cerned in recent purchases of Chesa-
peake and Ohio stock"

SYMPATHY SILENCED.

Those who studied the money ques-
ton In 1896 foresaw the danger threat
ened by the gold standard and pointed
out that Its permanent establishment
would involve us In every financial dis
turbance occurring In Europe but the
bankers were for the most part, blind
TO the warning. What do we see now?
Notwithstanding the increased produs-
ton OF Eold few victories won by the
Beers in South Africa have alarmed
the same bankers. and they are now
tearing a panic unless England is i'm
mediately successful. Their financial
interest in England's triumph is so
great that many of them have silenced
their sympathy with a struggling re-
public and are hoping for the extern
sion OF the authority of queen.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. S.-Jackson day
was appropriately celebrated in Omaha
to-day by the Jacksonian Club Three
separate functions were down on the
program. The first was an informal
reception held ut club headquarters
This afternoon at which William j.
Bryan, Congressman Carmack, of Ten
nessee; Overmeyer, of Kansas; Weaver,
of Iowa, and several other Democratic
lights were the guests.
At o'clock tonight occurred the
annual banquet of the club in the par
lors of the Paxton Hotel. Covers were
laid for 800. Gilbert M Hitchcock,
editor Of the Omaha World Herald,
ofliciated as toastmaster.
The speech OF the evening was made
by Mr. Bryan in response to the toast,
Our Nation" AS he arose to respond
he was greeted with tumutuous APP
plause. He spoke. in part, as follows:

1t has been generally stated that the
Cubans are q wonderfully courteous
and polite people. But careful study
Of their characteristics leads me to the
conclusion that NO class among them
e1cels u like class Of our own people
In the courtesiex Of life. II It be claim
ed that they are more expressive in
making their p0liteness known, 1t must
be granted, but the essence Of the act
il in NO sense superior to true Ameri-
can politeness. An Introduction to a
well educated Cuban or Spaniard. by
some one whom lie knows, Is sufficient
to prompt from him, with extreme man
ifestations OF cordlallty, the tender Of
his house. as II 1t were given away for
all time. mi casa esta numero." such
and-such street, "esta a Ia disposition
de usted.' which. translated freely,
means that his house is at such-and-
such q number, and ls placed at your
disposition. 1t sounds very hospitable.
and seems to express more than We are
in the habit Of Offering; and at the
same time II means no more than our
invitation for II stranger, authorita-
lively introduced, to call ut our resi-
dence at his pleasure.

Editor Tried I. on .n. ,rl.hm.n.

The editor is fond of joke and has
the good sense to appreciate one at
his own expense. A few weeks ago he
was walking with friend, and at the
corner Of busy thoroughfare he saw
MISUNDERSTANDING Hibernian,
standing at the opposite corner, gaz-
ing listlessly into vacancy. Watch
me surprise this old fellow" said he
to his friend. Look right into his
face and see If 1t won't be study
A second later they were abreast of
the son of Erin, and the editor pulled
out silver coin. and said, as he thrust
1t into the mans hand, Here's that
half crown owe you; now. don't go
round any more telling people that
don't pay my debts" For second the
mans face was study. He was
amazed at the unlooked-for kindness,
and then, as its purport dawned on
him, he raised his hat and said, "Heav-
en- bless yer 'onner! I'll never say an
other word agin ye. But" and his
eyes twinkled merrily, ARE ye sure it
wasn't crown yez owed me?' The
friend roared: "Oh, pay the man in
full; don't try to beat him out of a
paltry half crown" The Irishman got
his crown, but the editor no longer
pays his debts at sight now.

and he laughed scathins little

Her hands chung convulsively to the
an instant. She lifted her blue eyes to
his. full of imperious scorn.
''Will you kindly speak more plainly.
Prince? II you compel me to listen to
you. at least deny your right to speak
In riddles"
1t was open warfare between them
now; but. In the tortured excitement.
she was growing reckless OF conven-
tionalities. II Don were only by her
side to protect her! She felt she would
have given the world to summon her

The words came in painting breaths
through her parched lips. her bosom
heaved, and she stood like lioness at
bay.
Il dare. because 1t is the truth" he
hissed. Ask himself. He is here to
answer"
For the portiere had been driven
aside. and within the threshold of the
door stood Don. In all the bravery of
full-dress uniform he had worn for his
wedding. and which he had not yet had
time to change.
In one hand he held by the silken
drapery, the other hand was clutching
the hilt Of his sword. and on his face
the smile Of joyous welcome had frozen
and left 1t CHASTITY pale.

FRENCH VITALITY.
Ono of the Wonderful Things About This
Wonderful Nation.

Wonderful Nation.
The position of France In the world
Is unique. England. Germany, and
America. as great competing Industrial
producers, possess nothing which is
unique to the one or the ether. says
the Fortnightly Review. But to the
French we owe practically everything
that adorns and graces existence. Their
creative faculty, their inexhaustible re-
sources in pleasing the eye, the ear. the
taste, and the intelligence, give to life
nearly all the charms 1t possesses.
Their wonderful metropolis, instinct
agination has been able to devise in
architecture and in street scenery to
make 1t beautiful: their shops. which
are pleasure and lesson in the fine
arts; their theaters, in which the his
trionIc art has reached the highest
point of development ever attained:
their brilliant schools OF painting,
sculpture. music, literature. philosophy.
science, open to all the world. are few
OF the things that make France unique
upon earth as an intellectual recreation
ground for humanity. There are peo-
pie. nevertheless. who call France one
of the decaying nations. Yet what
other country can show a greater ar
ray Of more varied talent or more en-
during work in the things Of beauty
which are Joy forever? France de-
caying nation? France, who, after she
was drained, by the revocation Of the
edict of Nantes, Of what appeared to be
the flower OF her people. produced the
glorious eighteenth century; who. after
the massacres OF the terror, burst into
the power and magnificence of the en-
pire; who, after the wars of Napoleon,
gave us a great literary and scientific
revival; after the revolution of 1913,
the artistic and intellectual brilliance
of the second empire; and who. In spite
of the crushing defeat Of 1870. retained
that pre-eminence! II any nation pos
sesses vitality it is surely France, and
the world may thank Providence that,
owing to her. 1t seems likely to escape
from the decadence which usually fol-
lows self-absorbed material prosperity.

CHAPTER VII.

The wedding was over. 1t had been
very simple, very quiet affair. In
deed. 1t had quite taken the little COM
munity Of the garrison station by sur
prise. for Don's disposition was so nat
urally reserved. He had spoken little
of his engagement, and only few
brother officers and a small number
OF Lilies personal friends were in the
secret.
The bridegroom had obtained "long
leave" and with great reluctance had
at last yielded to Lilies appeal to
spend the honeymoon in England.
He had given In on the one stipula-
tion that Gadie Ha' should not be in
cluded in the program; and Lille. with

after ALL" said the thoughtful man,
"the perpetuation of the human race
is founded on falsehood." How so?'
demanded the prosaic man. What
would courtship be without it?" asked
the thoughtful man. and instantly to
the mind of the prosaic man came rec
objection of assertions that "she was
the only girl he ever loved as he loved
her." that "he couldn't live without
her." and that "he fairly worshiped her
footprints in the snow"
