day. The parties were aged, re-
spectively, Il and Ga. Both are pos
sessed of valuable property, and the
bride is the owner of several farms.
Before the ceremony an agreement
was signed to the effect that each
should have control of the property
belonging to each. However, the
good woman got a little the better
of the dickering. By the terms of the
agreement, she is to have a life in
terest in his estate after death, but
he is not given the Same right with

had been completed comfortably,

:Bryan's Pertinent Inquiries.

Referring 10 the great railroad
trusts. the Chicago Tribune says:
AN issue of tremendous conse-
quence is thus being brought to the
whole country. 1t is n matter for
conjecture if these railroad and
financial manipuIators comprehend
what this issue is. The failure of
full and effective government regu-
lation which the roads have so far
succeeded in breaking down means
government ownership, nothing less
than that. And toward just that
conclusion the combinations are
forcing the country. 1t Will be
great mistake to suppose that the
present patience of the people with
the growing domination of monop-
oily Is. test of what the public tenn
per will always prove To be-
And this leads Bryan, in his Com
moner. TO ask:
What right has the Tribune to
contribute to the disquiet of the
people?
What right has the Tribune ito
seek to make the people discomfort
edo
What right has the Tribune to
attack property?
Does not the Tribune know that
trusts are Indispensable to pro-
gress.' that consolidation is the de-
cree of destiny that "A railroad oc-
tOpus for the United States of Am
erica will make MS what we SO long
have wished to be. world power?
THE Tribune threatens govern
ment ownership. which the Tribune
and other republican newspapers
have so often denounced as populist
fallacy. What is the world coming
to when so strong Il republican
newspaper as the Chicago Tribune
finds il necessary to raise its voice
in protest against monopoly and
goes so far as to threaten populist
remedy for a republican disease?
Can IL be that after all that con-
solidation and destruction of compe-
tition are not good for the public
weIfare?''

signal Democratic victory in Boston

Sl&naI III DOSAOh'
Gen. Patrick A. Collins was elected
mayor of Boston yesterday by a
plurality of 10000 over Mayor Thorn
as y. Hart, republican candidate for
reelection. This plurality is UMPIRE
cedented in the history of Boston
and exceeds by 10000 the predictions
of the most enthusiastic democrats.
1t is so extraordinary that it has
caused the most profound astonish-
ment everywhere in the city. The
result can be explained only on the
theory that thousands of republicans
deserted their party and voted for
Collins. this, too. in spite of the most
active work within the last week by
the republicans. The result also
proves that the democratic charges
of extravaganza in city expenditures
under Mayor Hart had much more
effect among taxpayers than the
makers of those charges had dared
TO hope for.
The democratic victory is most
sweeping, for in addition to electing
Collins mayor the common council
is overwhelmingly democratic and
the party has also secured ten of the
twelve aldermen. The party is thus
placed in absolute control of the city
affairs. Bully for Boston.
