TRUSTS TO THE FRONT.
Preparing to Ride the American Peo-
pie Merry Race on Land
and Sea Alike.

1t is interesting TO note the steady
andlogical development OF the epochal
movement now under way for the or
ganization of a great railway trust
which shall dwarf into insignifcance
all preceding monopoly combinations
yet effected in this country.
According to recent news reports
the scope of the combine is now nearly
complete in it's contemplated organ
ization. 1t began with the idea of
bringing all the great railway lines
under one control by virtue of the
community of ownership" plan.
Subsequent developments showed that
a monopoly ownership of American
coal mines was also feature of the
proposed railway trust. Then came
the effort to absorb all the steel indus
tries of the Uniteo States. Now it is
announced the gigantic combine also
contemplates embracing the several
sleeping car companies in its "com-
munity of ownership" project. This
is trustism with vengeance.
The American people are doubtless
watching the progress of the railway
trust with considerable interest. Com
ing at the same time that the Hanna
ship subsidy grab for the benefit of
American monopolists on the seas is
being jammed through congress, this
railway combine is quite significant.
The trusts are certainly having things
their own way. 1t may be said, with
FL
that they are preparing to ride the
American people a merry race on land
and sea alike. And it's the American
people who must pay all expenses and
lose the race if McKinleyism and
trustism continue to prevail in Ameri-
can goYernment.-St Louis Republic.

A ROYAL GUEST.

How suddenly he was dethroned,
Who his entire kindgdom owned,
They cried: Long live the king!'
But not to him they bowed, oh no!
For in his place of honor, 10!
A tiny, squalling thing.
With wrinkled brow, and puckered face,
And not a single kingly grace.
USurps this brawling elf.
But how he loves that tyrant small,
And flies whene'er he hears him call,
And worships him with pelf.
And sings-aye there's the rub-to sing
A melody for the new king
AT midnight, standard time;
And he who never sung note
Now MARBLES from his tuneful throat
A lullaby in rhyme:
NOCTURNE.
sleep, dear, and rest!
Hush, hush, don't cry,
Birds in the nest
Have gone by-by.

The moo-moo COW,

"Ah, little man,
You're the whole thing!

THEY were mounting the steps of
the Metropolitan elevated at Mad
ison street, and watching the slow
clump, clump of a cripple as he de-
scended. After he had passed them
Jack said pitifully, half under his
breath: ''Poor fellow! His working
arm and right leg. 1 wonder what
he can find to do"
''His wife supports him, probably.
That is if he was married before his
accident. 1 suppose his matrimonial
prospects dwindled to nothing after
wards if he wasn't, in which case other
relatives stepped in, of course"
Ethel's voice was calm, even cold.
Jack suddenly wondered if she had a
heart. He answered little bitterly:
''Then you think love goes for moth
ing. Only able-bodied laborers need
apply!"
Ethel laughed. "Well, one-armed
lover wouldn't be of much use in Sc
curing one seat in the elevated at this
hour"
She was still breathless from her
encounter with the crowd, through
which Jacks height and football mus
Gle had forced way for her, while he
was weighing her emotional nature.
"But seriously, Miss Bray, don't
you think it possible for a woman to
fall in love with cripple?"
Seriously, Mr.. Archer, 1 do not.
She may feel sorry for him, and so

AS Mr.. Charles A. Towne is a re-
publican-though of the silver variety
and never has been anything else it
is vastly entertaining to observe the
average republican organ foam at the
mouth when his name is mentioned.
1t is great pity that Mr.. Towne's term
in the senate, instead Of lasting but Il
few weeks, could not have been extend
ed to the full term of six years. His
skill in keeping the republican jour

| The meeting was over. How had
Jack managed it? He had been kind,
| deferential, everything good breed
ing and their long acquaintance de-
manded, but he had set up a barrier
between them which even she, not
at all given to distrust, greatly feared
could never be broken down.
Months passed, and never once had
they been alone. 1t had all been
managed so unobtrusively, Ethel was
quite sure no one, not even her moth
er, had noticed the fact. In her sore
heart she began to doubt Jacks love.
AT last she determined upon a
strategy. She was most success
tul mimic. and could assume her
brother Herbert's voice to perfec-
ton. AT the last moment one even
ing she had excused herself from a
FAMILY theater party on the plea of a
headache. She was at the telephone
as soon as the carriage had driven
Off. Then to the butler:
James, if Mr.. Archer calls to see
Herbert, 1 have message for him.
Ii anyone else calls, I am not at
home"
Yes, brother told me to say how
sorry he was. He was called out just
after he telephoned. and as he knew
you would probably be on the way,
he left me to make his apology. And,
by the way, I only heard to-day of
your engagement. 1 believe it isn't
announced yet. but we are such old
friends, you won't mind if 1 con-
gratulate you now"
MY engagement! Ethel, you know
that will never be-"
why not?" The brown eyes were
wide with innocence. Could anyone
suspect that her heart was beating
like a trip-hammer?
Jack drew in his breath hard.
Then he said. coldly: 81 beg your
pardon, Miss Bray, but 1 think you
yourself warned me once about the
matrimonial prospects of cripple"
oh! 1 said women put strength
where men do beauty. and you are
strong and-and-cruel!" Ethel was
fast losing her self-control eff a
man was in love with girl" she
went on. hurriedly, land some one
should throw vitriol at her-or-or
something, would he-not speak to
her any more. and avoid her-and-
and-everything?
Ethel had grown more and more
incoherent, and finished by sobbing
outright. Then she turned and would
have run out of the room, if strong
left arm had not held her.
Ethel, do you pity me?"
Il don't see why I should. I'm
the one to be pitied.''
The arm relaxed, but frightened
again as the voice went on:
"It-it's disgraceful to make girl
propose!"
A good soldier knows when to
capitulate, and Jack had won the
brevets for bravery.
"And I thought you knew more of
philosophy" Ethel said, later, 'than
to believe theory was ever intended
to fit practice. 1t may be true enough
to say that cripples are ineligible,
but if you are a cripple-why, that's
different!"

How the whole conversation came
back to Miss Bray on that day when,
held back from tears by queer chok-
ing horror, she stared at the page be-
fore her bearing Jack Archer's name
among the wounded, after the battle
of San Juani
Later she learned that with his right
arm gone, and the sight of one of his
eyes destroyed, he was coming home
How she longed to see him. to tell him
in some way that she had repented her
foolish words.
''Oh why, why" she moaned, "do
women express opinions about things
of which they are wholly ignorant!
What difference does it make to me
that Jack is "a cripple. My for
tune is quite sufficient for US
both, and if it wasn't, I'd think it an
honor to work for him. Oh, if he had
only told me of his love before he went
away"
Everybody, including Ethel herself,
had long known that Jack Archer was
deeply in love with the slim, athletic
girl who was his constant companion
on the links, and in all the walking
excursions of their set. She it was
who wore his colors at the football
games, and waved them Loyalty
through defeat as well as victory. And
yet not word of love had passed be-
tween the two comrades. The perfect
faith had been too sweet to exchange
for proof.
It had not occurred to Ethel that
Jack could be hurt in battle. After
he had gone. she once or twice al
lowed herself to grow sentimental

GOOD ADVICE.


Plymouth Republican" in the wilkes Barre
Record
One OF the peculiar conditions Of the public
mind seems to be a desire to tear down. to take
apart and destroy many Of the good things which
We have. This point Of view is by no means con-
fired to those who are admittedly opposed to some
particular plan or measure, but even those who
favor such things are very prone to crticise and
hnd fault with details. while the thing as a whole
has their approval and support With this view oi
matters in general, the principle laid down by
Alexander Pope that whatever is, is right"
would read something like this, Whatever is, is
wrong" To the right thinking voter would
say, don't tear down by finding fault and picking
flaws, but rather try to build up by suggesting
Improvement. Remember that il requires more
ability to make than to destroy and direct your
best efforts to building up, and not TO tearing
down.
