THE KING TRUST.

Tie antitrust conference has found
that The evil cannot be handled sue
cessfully without entering into a dis
cussion Of the financial question.
AS a culniuation of this aggrega-
ton Of gjgantic trusts an INSCRIPTIONS
congressional lobby now threatens to
set up an aIl-embrdcing bank trust, 50
declares the convention in the address
issued, which continues:
This trust demands that the govern
ment wholly surrender to private cor
pOratiOns its sovereign function of issuing
money in so far as thar function affects
paper money. III that were done a bank
ing trust would result which would regu-
late tho volume OF paper money, and die
tale commercial discounts in the INFER
ests of an The great trusts, and to which
bankers in general would sustain a sim
liar relation to that which grOcerS al
ready bear TO the oil trust and the sugar
trust.
The bankers trust IS at once the Off
spring and the protector of all the 9TH
ers It's wishes are embodied in the
currency bill now pending in congress.
When they are granted the trusts viii
hold the people at their mercy.
It is q conspiracy Of wealth Matched
in Wall street and nurtured by the
administration.
The trust evil cannot be treated, or
defeated, if the most powerful and de-
etruotive of them all is left alone. To
turn from the single standard conspir-
ators who wish to control absolutely
the circulating medium by means Of
which business is carried on in this
country, and go to lighting and finding
fault with industrial combines that con-
troll but d portion of that business, is
little short Of idiocy.
No man or newspaper can conscien-
tiously oppose the trusts and endorse,
either by silent or vociferous approval.

idea Of the Republican party Of today
and the policy Of the administration.

CoCKRELL'S VAIN APPEAL.

Senator Francis NJ. Cocl1reI is max
ing a vain appeal to the Republican
party when he calls attention to the
requirements Of the federal constitu-
ton.
That document. long supposed TO be
the fundamental law of the nation, re-
vered by some as a work of divine in
spiration, has been brushed aside UNI
der the present administration as an
obsolete affair, the work Of fOgies and
a barrier to syndicate expansion.
Addressing his remarks to the pend
ing financial bill and it's defenders.
Senator Cockrell said: such unquaIi-
fed. unblushing reputation Of legis-
lative obligations has not been pro-
posed in the history Of the country. It
was plain violation Of the constitution.
which provides that each state shall
make gold and silver coin legal tender.

Republican party recognizes-the will
and wish of Hanna, who represents

corrupt in American politics.

manipulated by a power that cares for
neither party nor country, but seeks
anywhere and everywhere for willing
tools to carry out its selfish schemes.
Whatever it covets, the administra-
ton must give it. Whatever interferes
with its enrichment is treason to the
flag.
COvetOusness is its constitution: the
enslavement Of the masses its aim.

The opportunity afforded by Saturday
half holiday was taken advantage of by
an array Of recreationists. who sought re-
prevailed so unintermittently during the
past week. Boats and trains leaving the
city for suburban resorts were crowded to
the utmost capacity with the thousands
who aimed to escape from the fiery glare
of broiling pavements, and the close con,
fnement Of alright apartments and fur
mace like offices, to the fresh breezes of
high attitudes or the cool smell of salt
air at the bay and riverside summer
breathing spots.
Chesapeake Beach was in much favor
with the Saturday excursionists. who left
perspiration behind them when they en-
tered the comfortable and commodous
cars, which, in an hours time, conveyed
them to the bay side. The bathing at the
beach is excellent, and was patronized by
hundreds of both sexes, who found clear
water of not too great a depth, with a
firm sandy bottom, an ideal spot for a
dip in the salt water. Throngs paraded
the mile and a half Of board walk, and
crowded in the many places of amuse-
ment. The dance pavilion recently opened
proved a great attraction and the cars of
tho scenic railway were running at full ca
pacity. Haiey's Band, stationed at the re.
freshmen pavilion, and at various places
on shore. provided music throughout the
afternoon and evening Until sunset cool
breezes blew in from the bay, and when
night shades gathered land breeze no
less refreshing sprung up. Few left the
beach until the late trains returning to
the city.

The Admiral OF the Navy and Mrs. Dew
ey are evidently pleasing the summer COL
ony at Narragansett Pier. This is what a
summer chronicler from that resort has to
say Of their reception: "A large crowd as
sembled at the railway station when the
Admiral arrived late Monday night, having
come straight through from Washington
that day. AS soon as he stepped from the
train a rush was made for him, and It was
with difficulty that he and Mrs. Dewey
pushed their way through the cheering
throng. Colored fire was thrown and giant
firecrackers were exploded by some en-
thusiasts. Admiral Dewey acknowledged
the reception by rising in the carriage and
bowling right and left as he was driven
away.
Tuesday morning another large crowd
appeared on the landing stage. whence the
Admiral was to board the torpedo boat
Porter to go to Newport. He held an i'm
promptu reception while waiting for the
tender to come ashore for him, shaking
hands and chatting with all who wished to
meet him Admiral Dewey has not worn
a uniform while here and has not accepted
any social invitations. There Is plan
on foot to entertain him at the Point Ju-
dith Country Club before he goes away.
and to show him some elaborate fireworks
on the night of the Fourth of July"
