In it's review of the work. OF
the legislature, the Mime
apolis Journal says:
aside from Laybourn, A.
F. Ferris of Brainerd, was
the leader among outspoken
opposition to the gross earn
ings bill. Ferris represents
a railroad constituency, but
he displayed an unnecessary
activity in the interests of
corporations. He said little
on the floor, but was the prin-
cipal buttonho1e orator of the
session. His influence was
always discounted by his we'll
known affiliations, but he
made all that up in activity"

THE STORM GATHERING.
Of Power i'm the Hands
Of Aonopolists Will Hasten ANTI
Trust Legislation, =,

" The trade papers are beginning to
realize that the Consultations and
combinations which are now absorb
ing most of the great industries of the
country are Fastening the day of anti
trust legislation: The Metal Worker,
while making q defense of the new
steel trust, yet sees the possibility of
legislation which will make such COM
binations impossible. 1t suggests
that the undertaking was forced by
the desire to protect existing inter-
ests, seriously threatened as they were
by possible warfare, rather than by q
desire to unload the properties upon
the public at inflated prices" It thinks
it sees an advantage in the trust in
that 1.-THE concentration of power in
the hands Of one large consolidation
is expected to bring about q decided
steadying Of the markets."
1t speaks in a commonplace way of
one Of the great evils of the trust,
saying: "As a competitor, so huge an
organization could develop. very dan
gerous strength by waging war in one
territory and drawing the sinews
therefor from uncontested markets"
The Metal Worker evidently UNDER
stands the methods employed by the
trusts-methods which some, strange
to say, seem to regard as legitimate
business. And yet the paper quoted
cannot refrain from a prophecy of
trouble. It says:
1T will take clever management on the
part of the consolidation to meet and break
the force of aroused public opinion. I'm
ag1nation Is sure to be inflamed by the CO.
lossa1 undertaking now about to be con-
summated, and there will be many who
are eager to fan the flames."-
And again:
1T is certain that the new consolidation
will lend much support to the antitrust
agitation and will be its shining mark.
Keen eyes will watch every move, and un.
scrupulous demagogues and an unbridled
yellow press will distort even the mos,
trivial incident" :
1t will be seen that even the defend
ers Of monopoly are conscious tina:
the storm is gathering. Although the:
consider it ''unscrupulous' and ''dema.
gogic for anyone to condemn trust,
yet they are able to measure the force
OF public opinion when once it is
aroused and they are fearful lest the
reign Of monopoly may, after all, be
short ived.-The Commoner.5

The people of Connecticut
probably believe, with a la
mented American statesman,
that Consistency is the hob
goblin of little minds. :" The
state of Connecticut appro-
PIRATES large sums yearly to
encourage the cultivation of
tobacco. which is now one of
that states most valuable
crops: At the same time the
children of Connecticut are
taught in the text books they
use, that tobacco lis avillain-
Gus, poisonous thing, that to-
bacco users are cross and ir-
ritable, that the weed impairs
the memory and reason, etc;
It is possible that the sage
legislators who authorize the
use of these books, at the
same time appropriating
money to help tobacco grow:
ers-intend the instruction tc
be taken in a Pickwickian
sense.

New Orleans, La, Special-BOOker
T. Washington of the Tuskegee Normsl
end Industrial Institute delivered an
impassioned, witty, eloquent and
masterful address here Friday Of last
week, April 26:h, in the great Tulane
Hall under the auspices of the General
Missionary Conference OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South. One after
noon was devoted to the scussion Of
the responsibility of the white man to
his black brother and addresses were
delivered by three Others on the same
occasion and were limited to twenty
minutes each.
No limit Wss placed upon Mr.
Washington's time and he spoke
for more than an hour and wrought
his audience up to the highest
pitch Of enthusiasm. The plea he made
for the Negro is one which will have
far reaching results, We feel sure, as
representatives Of this great church
wefe present from every section Of the
South where the race question is Of the
greatest and most vital interest. Hun
drsds Of those who were in the aud
ience fastened TO the platform st the
conclusion OF Mr.. " ashiDgton's ad
dress TO assure him that hereafter, more
than ever, they viii feel an increasing
interest IN their black brethren by
whom they are surrounded. We are on
the verge Of great revelation of
southern opinion in the South wheL SO
many representative southern bodies
sre clamoring for light upon the sub
ject Of the Negro question and are
making the subject one OF study and
upon which they seem 10 desire en-
lightenment
The more prominent colored people
o. the city were invited 10 seats upon
the plstiorm when Mr.. Washington
spoke and this in Itself means 3 very
great deal 10 one who knows OF south
ern conditions. Every available feet Of
space was taken Snd many hundreds
were turned sway being unable 70 gain
sdmittsnee. Mr.. Washington's sd.
dress rsheeted credit upon the whole
rScs and We srs glad he wasinvited 81 4
that he spoke here under such fsster
F ing auspices.
