CHURCH NOTES.

The Dunkards OF this city and sur
rounding country will effect church or
ganization about the first week in Janu-
airy. In the meantime they will com
plcte arrangements for purchasing the
old Congregational church on the west
side.
The annual business meeting and din
ner of the Congregational church was
held last Thursday evening at which there
was large attendance. Considerable
business was transacted, reports were
read and plans made for the future work
of the church. The church is in -four
ishing condition and has done good work
during the last year. The new pastor,
IL. P. James, and Mrs. James were pres
ent and took part in the proceedings.
The dinner was served at 6 o'clock and
was very fine spread. The ladies of
the church have hit on the right idea in
converting the usually dry business
meetings into social events and a repre-
sentative attendance is always thus in
sured.
Those who attend the lecture of
Quincy Lee Morrow, on Tuesday even
ing, December 18th at the NJ. f.. church
at 1880 p. m, will hear great, subject
and an eloquent speaker; and will be
assured an interesting evening.
The temperance reform movement
has given us many orators, of the past

RESPONSIBLE FOR ANARCHISM
Causes and Elements That Are Oper-

LawIessness.

1t is we'll to note hat in all this
rampant rubbish hat some of the re-
publican newspapers are using to
prove that so-called yellow journal
ism" is responsible for anarchism
in the country, those that are the
loudest and most blatant have the
most unsayory regulations and are
the outspoken organs of organized po-
litical robbery. Some of these are con-
trolled by the trusts and all are o n
trolled by the ~plutocrats who thus
hope to throw discredit on everynews-
paper hat has dared to say one word
againstatheir monopolies. Others have
been worsted in the keen business COM
petition with the so-called yellow
Journals" inc in trying to infiame
public opinion against them they hope
to get even. Of these the New York
Sun is the most striking example, and
that most conservative newspaper,
the Stats Zeitung, says: IF the ques-
ton must be discussed what causes
and elements are working into the
hands of anarchism we do not Hest

TRUSTS AND FREE TRADE.
Monopolies Flourish only Under Pro-
lection OF . High
Tarif.

The effort of the protectionists to
show that the tariff does not breed or
aid trusts, because there are trusts in
free-trade England has been dis
proved by the showing made hat
nearly all the combinations t o control
any particular industry in that coun-
try have been unsuccessful there and
have either retired from the field or
are practically bankrupt. The reason
for this is evident when it is consid-
cred that the markets OF England are
open to the manufacturers of the
whole world and a trust or monopoly
cannot long exist where competition
is free or unless it has some privilege
or advantage that gives it opportunity
to become a monopoly. 1t may be that
the laws have allowed the trust to be-
come the owners of all the raw mate
rial or all the mines from which the
monopoly gets its supply, as in the
case of the anthracite coaltrust which
is not protected by the tariff nor does
it need to be, for it has no foreign
competition to dispute the home mar
ket with it, there being practically no
other deposit of hat kind of coal than
"lioO Sob(AOAACo oN SnC tAuSb- Ia
trust. is protected by law in another
way. 1T owns or controls all the
transportation, through the fran
chises granted by the state to the rail-
roads and dictates the rates so that
no rival can compete with it. With
the steel trust it is different. Every
thing that it produces is protected by
the tariff at so high a rate that it ex-
cludes all foreign products. 1t also
owns the greater part of the mines
from which the ore, that can be the
most economically mined and smelted,
is produced. 1t also owns or controls
the transportation on the great lakes.
through its side partner the ship trust,
and has already commenced to add to
this by buying up the ocean freight
carriers. So that in addition to the
monopoly that the tariff gives it in
the United States and which it knows
will be removed when the people thor
oughly understand the question, the
trust is preparing to hold a monopoly
of raw material and of transportation
for it and for its surplus production
which must be sold beyond seas.
If other trusts or monopolies are
investigated it will be found hat pro-
lection by law, either in the form of
tariff, franchises, or the control of raw
material, is what allows it to be a
monopoly. Remove the special priv
ileges n the trust cannot long exist,
competition will soon make it find its
level. That is the reason trusts are
not finding a congenial soil in free
trade England and are rampant in pro-
tected Germany.

BIRDS WITH RARE TALENT.
Many of Them Learn to Talk as Well
as Initiate the Notes of
Others.

The parrot, the magpie and the
raven are not the only birds capable of
learning human speech. In them the
faculty of imitation is more highly de-
veloped than among the other mem
bers of the feathered world. There are
a score of species that are able to imi-
tate sounds made by other animals.
Bluejays caught early and properly
trained car be taught to speak as well
as most parrots, and the same thing
can be accomplished with a. crow if he
is caught young and his tongue slit.
NJ. II. Coupin, a well-known naturalist,
tells some curious stories regarding the
initiative powers of certain birds which
are generally supposed to lack such at
tainments.
He tells of a sparrow which learned
to initiate the strident noise made by
a grasshopper. The cage containing
the sparrow was hung during n
spring next to a cage in which were
g~rasshoppers. At that time the spar
row took no notice of the noises made
by his neighbors, put the next spring
when he found himself again in the
company of the grasshoppers, he
seemed to consider that it was sup to
him" to take part in their daily sere-
nades. He made several attempts to
sing after the manner of his neighbors
and was moderately successful. For
the rest of his life, longafter the grass
hoppers were dead, he would every now
and then give VEN to his feelings in a
strain composed partly of the notes
of the grasshoppers and partly of the
notes of other birds.

CONCENTRATION OF CAPITAL.
Vast Favor shown Banks and Conn
hines by the
ment.

One Of the eason given for the in
crease of capital of New York and
other banks is the call for immense
loans that under the national bank
ing law cannot be made by banks
with a small capital, though they may
have an enormous reserve fund. The
law allows only one-tenth of the
capital of a bank to be loaned to any
person or corporation.
The consolidation of the great
banks still continues. The First ma
tional bank, of New York, has alb
sorbed the National Bank of the Re-
public. The latter institution is one
of the IL Of IL largest banks in the
New York Clearing House associa-
ton.
This concentration of capital by the
financial magnates foreshadows the
formation of the much-talked-of
money trust, which, in fact, has been
already secured by the community of
interest plan, somewhat similar in
scope to the railroad combination.
The amount of money controlled
by the consolidated bank mentioned
above is equal to, if it does not eX-
coed, the capital of the United States
bank at the time of the veto of its re-
charter by President Jackson, when
its capital was $4,000, 900, of which
the government owned 81 900, 900.
The most dangerous features to the
people of these vast consultations of
the money power is the reaching out
into the interior of the country for
the control of banks in the leading
cities other than New York. The
Rockefeller combination has already
secured one of the principal banks in
Cincinnati and Kansas City and there
may be many other banks controlled
by them that have not come to light.
The power of the United States
bank in shaping political matters in
the time of President Jackson,
though then considered enormous,
was very trifing compared to the
vast power that can be exercised to-
Wall street. This was shown in the
campaign of 1896, and since that time
their power has largely increased
through consolidation ard the "com-
munity-of-interest" plan.
That the financial affairs of n
United States government is in their
power will be at once seen by the
vast loans that have bee made to
them. and that they continue to en-
Joy without interest and the purchase
by the government of bonds at h
enormous premium of 40 per cent. to
aid them in controlling the money
and stock market and allowing them
to retain the customs and internal
revenue collections for an indefinite
time also without interest.
At the going rate of interest OF
from four to six per cent. on call and
time money it will be seen what a
large gift the interest on these mil
lions is to the favored banks. AS
long as these favors are shown by n
republicans to the money power, n
financial question is not settled by
any means.

SLAVES ARE STILL SOLD.
Market Quotations i'm the Soudan
Where the Trade Is Car
ried On.

In spite of the fact that the British
government keeps 255 men with camels
constantly employed in trying to
break up the slave traffic in the Sou
dan certain experts affirm that the
trade still fourishes in a greater or
lesser degree, says the Chicago Trib-
une.
Most of the 25 offenders convicted
during the last IL months were sheiks
of the Rashidas, one of the most trou-
blesome and dreaded tribes in the Sou
dan. The activity against them, how
ever, has driven most of them east
into Italian territory.
The slave trade at Jeddah has been
the most serious to arrest. The
principal traffic is from Massaua and
the coast to the ~northward in Italian
territory, Abyssinia, Hodeida and
Yemen. Yemen is noted for the export
of the slaves who are procured from
Abyssinia.
At Jeddah there are IL wealthy slave
merchants whose names and depots
are we'll known.
The prices of slaves are: Male or fe-
male, IA years old, about $50; IA to 20
years, 500 to 1925; 20 to 80 years, $50
each.
In Medina and Mecca the prices of
both sexes rise so per cent. and up
wards, while some readily command
from $500 to $500 each.
A traveller who recently crossed
Abyssinia, entering by the leila route
and leaving by the Blue Nile, said that
slavery existed in hat portion of the
country under the control of Menelik,
but in a restricted and comparatively
humane form.
The powerful chiefs alone are per-
mitted to acquire domestic slaves, who
become in effect members of the house
hold.
There are no auctions or open sales.
In the country of Godjam, however,
which is nominally subject to Menelik,
the institution Of slavery openly ex-
lists, and public sales take place in
the ordinarily weekly markets.
The supply of victims for this traf-
fc is obtained principally by organized
raids upon the country inhabited by
mixed Shangalla tribes. which sep
arates Abyssinia from the Anglo
Egyptian Soudan.

The Care of Linen.

The shelves or drawers of a linen
closet should be neatly covered with
white paper that is changed frequent
ly. A few sprigs of lavender or some
very mild satchet powder in bags
should be laid among the pieces, to
take away the slight odor of soap
thai often is noticeable. In using slip
under the pile of each article the
sheets, cases and towels latest from
the laundry. In this way they all get
the same amount of wear. After
ironing, and before putting away,
each piece should be looked over for
any rent that may have come in the
washing. When broad sheets grow
thin in the middle, overcast the outer
selvages together, zeal them down
the middle, cutting away the thin
part, and hem these edges: then here
is a sheet complete for narrow beds.

PRESS COMMENTS.

Our present system does not pro-
vide for mutual exchange. Our high
tariff prevents other nations finding
a market in the United States for
their sa1able products. We seek the
worlds highways and byways for buy
ers for our wares, but deny foreigners
access to our centers of trade. This
marrow, sordid policy" spells ruin to

One would have thought there
could hardly be any more trusts that
could be organized, but two with the
modest capital of $780, 900 each, a
pasteboard trust and a zinc smeIter
trust, are the latest productions.
Morgan is back of the latter named
one and probably has a hand in the or
