The committee OF Parliament appointed
to consider the civil list has reported in
favor of appropriating annually about ST.
10000 for the support of King Edward
and his household That amount may not
seem to be so very large to some of the
multi-millionaires Of this country, but the
ordinary American citizen is very apt to
compare it with the amount that is spent
annually for the support OF the President
and his family. The Presidents salary Is
$4,000 and besides there are sppropria-
tons for contingent and household ex-
penses OF $4,000, for furnishing and repair
ing the executive mansion $4,000, and for
the conservatory, stables and certain 9th
er matters $1,000 making $4,000 in all.
In addition 10 the amount appropriated
for the Kings expenses every one OF his
children has to be provided with an an

FLoRIDA's CONVICT SYSTEM.

Florida is progressive In most things
but she seems to be backward in her
method of dealing with her convicts. Last
week there appeared in the public prints
reports of brutality in one of her convict
camps that were sickening. We are sure
that her people do not approve of inhu-
name treatment of her convicts. They
want them dealt with as If they were
human beings.
The purpose of the Grill bill, which was
introduced into the Legislature last
Thursday, is to remedy the evils in con-
Wet management which have been the
occasion of a number of scandals. A
Prison Commission is provided for, and
also penitentiary. 1t is proposed to keep
some Of the convicts in the penitentiary
and to lease others. The scheme, which
includes a reform school, is quite elabo,
rate, and If it is embodied into a law.
the states convicts win be far better
cared for than they are now.
At present the convicts-about S00-are
leased for s21 900 a year. That is a very
small sum for such an amount of labor.
IL lis not fmprODaDle tnat some OF the con
victs are subleased. If so. the Iessees no
doubt get a great deal more for them
than they pay TO the state.
Subleasing however, ought not to be
allowed. 1t is practically impossible for
the state to keep track of subleased con-
victs, and to be sure that they are prop
erly treated.
As a general thing the inspectors have
been making reports on the Florida con-
vict camps which showed that the con-
victs were being well treated, but 1t may
be that the inspectors were not always
able to get at the truth. No doubt It was
known when the inspectors were expected
at the camps, and preparations were made
for their visits. Anyway. it seems that
there is a demand for a change, and the
present Legislature will, in all probability,
provide a system under which the con-
victs will fare much better than they do
now, and which will not permit of such
outrages, such as that alleged to have oc-
Cured at Tampa a few days ago.

SEEKING TO AVOID COMPETITION.

0
If there had been a suspicion during the
last presidential campaign that within a
very few months after the election there
would be Industrial and railway combina-
tons exceeding anything the most daring
promoters had dreamed of, It is probable
that the Democratic party, which took a
much more pronounced stand against
trusts than the Republican party, would
have come much nearer electing it's candi-
date for President.
1t has been only few days since the
billion dollar steel trust was created-a
trust that excited the astonishment of the
entire Industrial world Now, according
10 our dispatches yesterday, it is proposed
to unite all of the large railroad systems
of the country under one control. A COM
pany is to be formed that will own a
dominating interest in all of them, the
purpose being to prevent rate cutting, and
also to do away with many of the high
priced officials.
1t seems that the same men who were
instrumental in forming the billion dollar
steel trust are the chief movers in the
control of the industrial plants and the
transportation lines they will have the
business of the country practically in
their grasp. They will have extraordi-
nary power. AS it looks now they will be
able to dictate to State Legislatures and
to Congress.
And what will the people DO about it?
bic to expect that the men who will have
control of the railways and industrial
plants will use their power for the public
good. They will make a show of doing
so, but will not their real purpose be to
gather the wealth of the country into
their own pockets and the pockets Of
those associated with them?
No doubt antitrust legislation will be
proposed when Congress assemblies, but
will it be possible to get passed bills which
are not approved by the trusts? With
money legislation can be Influenced, and
the trusts and railway combinations win
have an unlimited amount of money al
their command Their influence will be so
great and far reaching that they will be
able to elect a majority of Congress ana
even the President. 1t may be that they
will use their power wisely, but the con-
clusion to be drawn from the past is that
they will use 1t to accomplish selfish ends.
Has not Congress been remiss in It's
duty in not dealing with trusts before
they became so powerful? Would not
Congress have acted wisely if it had
given the railroads the right to pool their
earnings? The railroads wanted that
right because competition had become so
fierce that rate cutting was robbing them
of their profits. The aim of the proposed
consolidation is to prevent rate cutting,
but the power that comes from consolida-
ton may be used TO maintain excessive
rates.
What is to be the outcome of the con-
solidation Of great interests which is now
taking place it is impossible to foresee,
but it does not now appear that the hap
piness of the people and the welfare of
the country will be promoted by it.

They cured SO many men who had battIed
for years against the mental and physical
suffering of lost manhood that the Insti-
tute has decided to distribute free trial
packages to all who write. 1t is a home
treatment and all men who suffer with
any form of sexual weakness resulting
from youthful folly premature loss of
strength and memory, weak back, vari-
cocele or emaciation of parts can now
cure themselves at home.
The remedy has a peculiarly grateful
effect of warmth and seems to act direct
to the desired location giving strength
and development just where 1t is needed.
1t cures all the ills and troubles that come
from years of misuse of the natural func-
tions and has been an absolute success in
all cases. A request to the State Medical
Institute, S13 Elektron Building, Fort
Wayne Ind, stating that you desire one
of their free trial packages will be COM
piled with promptly. The Institute IL de-
sirous of reaching that great class of men
who are unable to leave home to be
treated and the free sample will enable
them to see how easy it is TO be cured of
sexual weakness when the proper remedies
are employed. The Institute makes no re-
strictions. Any man who writes will be
sent free sample, carefully sealed in a
plain package so that its recipient need
have no fear of embarra ssment or pub
licity. Readers are requested to write
without delay.
