A Trust Forced 10 scuttle.

Another trust has been forced TO scut-
tie, by the natural and inevitable force
OF competition; and unless all signs fail
1t is doomed to disintegration. The
American Tinplate Company has been
forced by the competition of outside
companies to reduce the price OF its
product IS cents a box. AS the outside
companies have succeeded in breaking
down the attempted monopoly, the in
evitable falling to pieces of the trust is
only question of time, for with active
competition it will be swamped under
the weight Of its own overcapitalization.
The tinplate trust was one of the
products OF good times and an over
abundance of money seeking invest
ment Concerns with an aggregate
capital of 100000 were consolidated
through purchase by promoters; the
ed at $50. 900; and the stock was un-
loaded on the market. where 1t was
taken up by eager investors who at that
time were clamoring for ndustrials
The original owners OF the tinplate
sprants got far more for them than they
were worth; while Judge Moore, the
principal promoter of the trust, cleared.

The inevitable result followed. Inde-
pendent plants came into the field, and
their competition has already forced the
big concern to cut down prices. It cam

wall: the unfortunate investors In this
class OF stocks viii put up with heavy
losses: and trust stocks In general will
be looked upon with justihable suspI-

with the tinplate trust would have been

o'clock and now there were four, and
! the four were having five-o'clock tea.
Al least anyone would have said they
were four blithe girls. innocent of
graver responsibilities than social calls

never looked four young women so free
from the cares of this world than those
who were picturesquely grouped about
the generals camp table and under the
brilliant reflector of the generals lamp;
but the plain gold circlet on the slender
finger Of the merriest and noisiest and
smallest of the four, and the fact that
she had nothing to say to the senior of
the four attendant officers except in
the brief, Indifferent tones of assured
proprietorship, and very much to say
to the other three, told a different story.
The generals manner lost none of it's
kindness, even though a close observer
would have seen that his face lost a lit
tie of its light as he recognized in the
evident leader of the revels and mistress
of the situation the wife of his senior
aid-de-camp. An hour before he
thought her q thousand miles away

claimed the little lady, springing to her
feet, facing him with indomitable

she had towed the general to a chair,
and into this, his favorite leather
armed, canvas-backed. hickory framed
companion of many u year, she deftly
dropped him and then, giving him no
chance for a word, gayly pirouetting,
she seized one after another upon each

les, encased in tailor made travelling

II have played upon my heart
The music Of a lower art:
II have ever hoped to win
A pleasure from the smile of sin;
If ever I mistook the CLEAN
OF Quiverings in starless dream;
Or fondly hoped might dispense
With spirit in the joy of sense;
Or slipped, or fallen, or gone astray,
Lead Thou the way, lead Thou the v ay
II could ever yet despise
The tear-drops In two human eyes;
If ever once the voice of fame
Left me forgetful of Thy name;
If in the strife ever tied
My heartstrings to the lower side;
Or in the thickest of the fight
Mistook the useful for the right;
Or welded an ignoble sword,
Forgive, Q Lord; forgive, o Lord.
II ever once have been my care
Mere trappings of Thine altar-stair;
If ever in q lovely face
Thy handiwork failed to trace;
II have doubted of the good

Which Thou hast portioned to his lot;
Forgot Thy law, or scorned Thy might

peered in on the scene of light, of merri-
ment and laughter under the canvas
roof of the only home be knew in the

life had been spent following the flag
through bivouac, camp or garrison,
through many a march, battle and cam
paign all over the broad lands of the
United States until now, at the hour
when most men turned for the placid
joys of the fireside, the love of devoted

pletely refuted. all the reasons advanced IN Its
support. 1t has not raised the standard OF pub
lie life In the slightest degree or served single
useful purpose. With regard to the borough
system it may be said to possess some geogrnph-
ical and descriptive value. and its preservation
in a recognizable form is likely 10 be urged by
men who honestly believe that il is capable of
being converted into an efficient instrument of
LEGAL administration as well as by host of
placemen fearful of losing their occupation.
This latter probability suggests one Of the
most important questions with which the Com
mission viii have TO deal-a question, indeed,
from which branch Of its inquiry can be
divorced In this age of industrial combination
economy of production is, or Is pretended to be,
the thing aimed nj. When the municipal con
solidation scheme was proposed, and while the
devious processes by which ii was accomplished
We're going on, there was no lack of cheerful
and confident assurances that 1t would neces-
sarily result in large saving Of expense mas
much as the machinery Of government essential
TO numerous separate communities would be
simplfed and unified But the dismal fact is
that 1t costs far more TO govern the present city
of New-York than 1t formerly cost TO govern its
constituent parts, and the constant tendency
is TO increase instead of diminish municipal
expenditures. The burden that taxation lays
directly on those who pay it. and indirectly in
the cost of living ALL is enormously heavy
and the fundamental question which the Com
mssioners will have to consider at every stage
Of their labors is whether and how it can be
made lighter. 1t is gratifying to he able to be-
leve that they will not permit themselves to be
thwarted In their efforts to solve this problem
by any combination Of selfish interests.

CHARTLR RETISION

OF the various interests embraced in our
scheme of municipal government which
presumably touched the recent interview
between Governor Roosevelt and the Charter
Revision Commission only two have been al
luded TO in reports of the conference. 1t is semi
officially announced that the Governor urged
the Commission TO give the subject of water
supply the most careful considerations with
special reference TO the possibility of abridging
the excessive powers Of the Ramapo company
and to remove without fail the defects in the
School bill which has just become a law.
Doubtless both these matters are of large i'm
pcrtance, and il is not surprising that the
Governor took pains to bring them under dis
cllssion at the earliest opportunity for they
have engaged his official attention and caused
him much concern, and the recent legislation
concerning them has subjected him to not a
little criticism. No we'll informed and disin-
terested citizen doubts that New-York will be
exposed 10 serious risks until the Ramapo
monopoly has been destroyed and ii has been
made mandatory upon the city to own its entire
supply Of water. As for the Elsberg School
law. ii is frankly admitted 10y those who on the
whole preferred 10 have ii passed and denied
10y nobody that il is Il confused. awkward and
inprudent statute which may cause great deal
Of trouble.
Aside from these two subjects thus officially
