A GREAT STEEL MONOPOLY.

1t looks as If Morgan Rockefeller and
few other multi-m illiouaires would
soon control the transportation lines and
steel making plants as completely as Mr..
Croker controls the city of New York.
In our dispatches yesterday it was AL
nounced that Andrew Carnegie had sold
the controlling interest In his great steel
plant to J. P. Morgan and associates.
| This transaction means many millions of
doLars. 1t was understood some months
ago that Mr.. Carnegie had given an op,
ton ON his interest in his steel properties,
the price he was to receive being 800, OO0-
900.
1t is evident that Mr.. Carnegie wants
to get out of the steel business because
he doesn't want the worry that is insep-
arabic from fierce competition. If he
continues in the business there is certain
to be a war between him and the Nor
gan syndicate-a war that would leave
but little profit to be divided between
those engaged in the steel business.
Therefore he is taking a favorable oppor-
tunity to get out of the business. and OF
letting the men who are seeking a mo-
nopoly OF that business have what they
want.
But how do the people regard
these vast combinations of producing
plants and transportation lines? Are
they satisfied with them or are they be
ginning to wonder whether or not they
will eventually be within the grasp of
money kings who will be so powerful that
it will be impossible for either State Leg
islatures or the National Legislature 20
control them?
Is it not time, even now, for Congress
to think about taking the duty off all
kinds of steel products. Last year there
were exported from this country vast
quantities of articles made of steel show
ing beyond doubt that there is no need
for a protective tariff on steel products.
Hut as long as that tariff remains it viii
be utilized by the steel producers to keep
UP prices in the domestic market. The
products of our steel mills villa be
sold on the Nile and the Amazon,
end in the great cities of Europe for less
than they can be purchased within a
stones throw of the place of their produc-
ton. While combination and consolidation
may be necessary to enable this country
to dominate the trade of the world, care
should be taken by our law makers that
the American people are not made the
victims of the greed of powerful and far
reaching trusts.

Once in a while the generally serious
character of the House debates is en-.
ivened by minute of lively talk, says

being made to secure an appropriation for

Mr.. Gaines.

Gaines.

AS an example Of shuffling and evasion.
the replies of the ENJOYS of the Powers in
Pekin, in their recent interview with the
Chinese ENJOYS. was a shining and monu-
mental success, if the cable reports are
to be credited 1t appears that the Chi
nese ENJOYS asked the representatives Of
the Powers a few simple, direct, sensible
and perfectly legitimate questions, but to
none Of them did they receive direct,
candid and satisfactory answer The for

1t is with much regret that attention is
called to the fact that there is leak in
the capitol at atlanta. OF all places,
that Should be the last against which
this charge could be truthfully brought.
When the electors of Georgia went to the
polls only short time ago and deposited
their ballots for men whom they had
every reason to believe to be as true as
steel. little did they think that in a few
months it would appear in Nthe public
prints that there was a leak in the CAPT
tol. But it is true. The leak IS in the
roof and it lets storm water down upon
the devoted heads OF the high officials VINO
do business there. It ought to be fixed

South Carolina has an income tax law
upon her statute books. If the fact were
not mentioned from time to time in the
newspapers, and discussed when the Leg
islature meets, the South Caro,iniaus
would never know of the laws existence.
No attempt is made to enforce It, ana
those who ought TO be paying the tax
laugh at it. Another attempt was made
in the Legislature the other day to re-
peal the useless law. but it was voted
down. The eminent statesmen in the Leg.
islsture contended that an income tax
was good thing, and being such Il
ought to remain in the books. And so II
remains there. II isn't hurting anybody
and the income-taxers think they have
won a big victory.

received a great sum Of money, and now
comes the information that Prof W. e.
Pran has sold to w. Seward Webb Of
the New York Central Railroad the full
right of an invention of his called 'liquid

claim is evidenced by the fact that so
shrewd a railroad man as Mr.. Webb has
paid half million dollars in cash for
the right to use it.

Three Foreign stories.

Nine, Duse. the great Italian actress, in
a recent interview with Florentine jour
nalist. during which she expressed her
disgust at the present degeneracy of the
dramatic art remarked: We should re-
turn to the Greeks and play in the open
air. Boxes. stalls, evening dress and late
dinners kill the drama. Since Shakes
peare and the Greeks there have been no
dramatists. Ibsen? Ibsen is like a room
with all its furniture. What do l care for
chairs and tables? / want Rome

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Evening Post Qnd) says:
"The Herald has telegram from Wash
ington. reporting a few words from
speech of Justice Harlan of the Supreme
Court, at a banquet of the Loyal Legion
in Washington, viz: The fathers of the
republic never intended or desired that
Congress should have authority or any
power over any part OF the surface of
the earth free from the letter and the
spirit of the constitution. This saying is
interpreted as a foretaste not of the COM
ing decision of the Supreme Court in the
Porto Rico case, but of what Justice Har-
Ian as one of nine members, thinks that
It ought to be. Very likely MIR. Harlan
has been annoyed by sthe comments OF
the press and of some public men on the
appointment Of his son as Attorney Gen
eral of Porto Rico, while this case is pend
ing In the court. and has taken an OPP
portunity to make known that his opin-
ions have not been changed by that cir
cumstance."
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) opposes
the adoption of Senator Bacons resolu-
ton, declaring the right of the Senate to
demand and receive all papers on file in
the executive departments. The Ledger
says II IL sLlOulu Dt dubJttu dtlu 1Al-
forced, it might and probably would lead
to some very embarrassing international
complications. If the Senate could be de-
pended on to keep state secrets, the reso-
luton might be proper enough; but it IS
notorious that 1t cannot keep its own Sc
crets, and how can It be depended on for
those of the executve?'
The Philadelphia Times Dem) says:
Among the other blessings which the
forces of civilization have conferred upon
the people that sat In darkness in China
is now to be reckoned famine. The Chi
nese who escaped the reforming zeal OF
the great missionary powers and fed for
their lives into the interior, leaving all
their possessions behind are now report
ed starving. War, pestilence aud famine

liking work, and the doors of China will
be open because there will be none to

The New Orleans Picayune (Dem) says:

country which formerly furnished 20 much
OF the iron manufactures used I'm this coun-
try, IS now one OF our best customo. q.
