press considered the organization of a
trust DIS worthy of sensational head
lines; but their formation has become
SO commonplace of late that no espe-
cial notice is taken. The prospects are
that within short time majority OF
the railroads will be consolidated I'M
der one management. When the trust
element has secured control Of the
transportation facilities-and such is
its intention-the business man and
farmer will be completely subservient
to its will. The people are confronted
with one or two alternatives. Either
they must find some method whereby
the trust may be eradicated, or they
must acquiesce In the destruction of
their industrial liberty.
Considering the intelligence of the
American people, we are justified In
the inference that they prefer the Grad
ication of tile evil to It's acceptance.
The question then occurs: To what
source shall they look for the means for
Its eradication.
There is absolutely no hope from the
Republican party. The trust principle,
after all, is but the Republican princi-
pie applied to economics. 1t has deyel.
oped during the period of Republican
supremacy and largely as the result Of
Republican legislation. No serious eff
fort has ever been made to retard its
progress. On the contrary, every effort
in that direction has been resented by
the Republican machine.
The socialists represent the very op-
posite extreme. Their solution would
completely revolutionize society. There
is reason to believe that the remedy
would be as bad as the disease. The
Socialist Socialist convention of last week
clearly demonstrated The incapaclty Of
the Socialists Us reform party.
If any solution is to be offered, 1t
must emanate from the Democratic
party. BY it's very nature it is opposed
to the trust principle--that Of concen-
tration. 1t has the conservatism of
sanity and is as radical MS justice. 1t
has received no tribute from the trusts
and has no debts to pay. 1t is free to
act.
Thus the hope of the nation depends
upon the possibility of Democratic sue
cess before these abnormal monopolies
become too firmly Embedded iii law and
precedent. One of the most prominent
planks of the next Democratic platform
will promise salutary legislation along
this line There will be no reason to
doubt the sincerity of the declaration.
And if intrusted with the government
of the nation there will be every reason
to hope for the eradication of all COM
binatlons which have for their purpose
the destruction of competition.-Indian-
aDolis Sentinel.

A daring case of burglary and appar-

the large retail store Of the Chas. Craft
Company, one of the largest in Fort
Dodge. The thief apparently made his
entrance into the store by means of Il
skeleton key, and 81 was stolen from
the cash drawer of the meat department.
The thief then set fire to n barrel of
waste paper, which was in the rear of the
store, and took his departure through the
front door, which he left standing open.
The light from the flames soon attracted
attention, and the fire was extinguished
before any amount of damage was dohe.

Republicans aud the Negro.

Republicans and the Negro.
When the Democrats Of Maryland
made the race question an issue in the
pending campaign the Republican press
Of the North protested with vigor and
gave the impression that the Republic
can convention would accept the chal-
lenge. The party which has never neg
lected an opportunity to proclaim its
disinterested love of the negro might in
truth have been expected to rally to his
defense when the Democrats of Mary
land made him an issue. Not so, how
ever In the course of long and tire
some platform tauding all things Re-
publican and denouncng oil things
Democratic, these so-called Republican
friends Of the negro did not find space
for d syllable of protest.
Oh, Shade Of the fallen, oh; genits sub-
lime.
Great friend of the negro from Africans
cline;
Aids; how low he lies!
While the Republican tidpers of the
North were dancing the old Republican
Jig upon the grave of secession and
waving the bloody shirt with accus-
toned vigor, their party On the scene
of conflict, with characteristic coward
ice, refused to burden itself with the
defense of negro suffrage. But for tile
purpose ef justifying the ludicrous
hypocrisy of Northern Republicans in
the North the chairman of the conven-
ton, in his speech, dropped generalities
for moment to give one weak, limping
paragraph to theslegro question. By
merely stating that the negro popula-
ton 81 Maryland is3-not sufficiently
large to endanger White domination he

then, takes issue With the Republicans
of the North, who denounce disfran-
chisement under all circumstances. 1t
is really too bad that the Southern Re
pubhcans cannot rise to the level of
their Northern brethren.

"The Republicans in Maryland have

have made bad use of the power which

problem is sectional and not political.

to go to the defense of the negro in the

MURDER TRIAL IN GROVE.
Preliminary Hearing, With About
1000 Spectators.

Galena, Mo-, June 10.--An unusual
scene was presented here at the pre-
liminary hearing of Mrs. John Stall
lion, her father, James Crabtree, and
his two sons, Frank and Charles Crab
tree, for The murder Of Alice Stallion
the womans l5-year-old step-daugh-
ter. The hearing was being held in
a grove, the two justices sitting at
table under tree, and about 1000
people, attracted from points for
miles around, forming circle about
the court and defendants.
Threats had been made against the
Crabtrees by many Of the strangers in
town and the county officials were
taking all the precaution at their com
mand TO protect the prisoners. Galena
is off the railroad, and the fact that
1000 people would care to come miles
to attend the hearing is considered
significant.
1t had been intended to exhume the
body of the girl that it may be exam
ined to investigate theory Of the
county prosecutor that a criminal as
sault was made upon her by one or
both of the Crabtree boys, and that
they killed her to hide the crime.

Fourteen Runs Piled up While Wash
ington Failed 10 Get Il Single Run
Second Shut ont This Season for Red
and Black Second Team Won Sem
cen Lost.
Saturday was a great day for the
Varsity. Both its baseball teams
carried of victories. The first team
walloped W & j. to the tune OF Ia TO
0. This is the worst defeat that the
red and black ever experienced and
what makes 1t worse and worse is the
fact that it happened on the home
grounds.
Washington wanted TO have the
only umpire and our boys refused to
play until we were permitted to have
one also under the double system of
umpiring. The team went to the
depot and were sent for By the w. 81
j. management. Their troubles then
begun.
-Four runs were piled up in the very
first inning. Three two base hits
and home run were made off Gessler.
Kenna fooled them all, Bowman hit
the ball four times. McWhorter
knocked clear away when there were
two men on bases Not an error was
made by our boys. They stole six
bases and in general they acted as If
they were real baseball team. W
& J. shut up They had nothing to
say. The defeat was too much for
their feelings Two of the ringers
they had with them while ia Morgan
town did not take part in the game.
The Varsity team came home on Sun
day.
The second team did not play at
Buckhannon on Saturday as President
Weir of the Seminary would not let
his team play with any boys who
would have TO travel ON Sunday to
get home. They went TO Weston
where they won eight To five. The
crowd got the umpire To call man
safe after he had started him home
and when the score stood i've to eight
in the ninth inning They played a
while longer aud made three runs but
the captain of the Weston team quit
saying that the Varsity had won fair
ly and he wouldn't cheat them out Of
it.
The Seneca baseball team went To
Point Marion on Saturday but failed
to connect with the ball as often as
they should have done if they wanted
to win. The score was IA to A. The
fact that the Seneca boys were sadly
out Of practice is responsible for the
defeat. Point Marion went raylng
crazy over the game as a result of
never having won a game before and
not being able to withstand the sud
den excitement.
