Corporations vs.. Trusts.
From the Buffalo Times

From the knualo alncs
ruerbert ?. Bissell aptly defined the
difference between the righteous cor
poration and the unrighteous trust IN
his speech at Albany yesterday when ne
said, speaking Of the recent defeat OF
Senator Jones, chairman OF the Demo-
cratic national committee, by the misre-
presentation of the Republican papers,
which accused him Of having improper
relations with perfectly legitimate
corporation: lis 1t not time that our
leaders and our press should unite upon
a plan to prevent the further deception
Of the Democratic massesS The Demo,
cratic party is the advocate OF eqnai
rights and of equality Of opportunity OF
all men before the law. Democracy
does not make war upon vested capital,
or upon honest corporations which are
simply aggregations of capital aiding IN
the development of enterprises to great
to be furthered by individual effort.
Democracy does oppose, however,
that class of organizations which seek
to prevent honest competition and TO
create monopolies in the necessaries or
life, which thereby fix and maintain
prices which bear most heavily and un'
Justly upon the masses Of the people.
And these trusts are the natural on
spring of high tariff maintained by the
Republican party, not for the preserva.
tion of infant industries, but for the en-.
richment of the few at the expense OF
the many.

Misrepres sentatlon.

The story sent out to the effect that
Senator Jones had said the Cuban re-
public would go to pieces in two yesls
is emphatically denied. Senator Jones
says:
''While have no doubt that Presi-
dent Palma has great many shoals
and quicksands TO deal with, and will
have great trouble in keeping his little
government straight on account Of the
intermeddling of American politicians
and other interested persons in the Is,
land, still. | strongly hope that he will
succeed and am very much inclined 10
believe he will. ,
II have not said that the republic OF
Cuba will 60 to pieces in two years, nor
do believe it. The people who have
fought as earnestly for thirty years past
for liberty as the people of Cuba have,
who have been all this time, by hum
dreds and thousands, ready TO die for
it, are pretty likely to appreciate the
blessings of their new government so
keenly that it will be carefully guarded:
II am sorry that any story should
have been printed indicating that have
no faith In the success of the little re-
public. 1t does me great injustice as
1t does the Cubans.

the first place, among Cherokee maids
and matrons there is no such inferior
rank of royalty as princess. Each IS a
queen in her own right and those who
have not already formed matrimonial
alliances are either touring Europe or
busy at Wellesley, Bryn Mawr or
Vassar storing their minds with useful
knowledge and acquiring those accom-
plishments for which the Cherokee
women are famous. Nothing short Of
kings Of the blood royal are worthy OF
an alliance with them, but occasionally

Fundamentally the Daltons. Still
industry and a branding iron have laid
the foundation for many snug fortunes
here.
Buffaloes are not extinct In the terri
tory, although they are not IS numerous
as they were year or two ago. They
have been superseded by the Modern
Order of Camels. A crop failure, the
consequent scarcity of money and the
high price of drinks are mainly respon-
sible for this fact. There Is still some
game in the territory-notably draw
poker, stud poker and craps. although
1t has been completely exterminated In
all parts Of the territory except In the
northern district. Among the wild
animals are found droves Of Elks-one
at Muskogee and the other at South
Town. They are partially domesticated,
however.
The Indians are peaceable, quite 30.
The last serious outbreak in the Chero-
kee nation was about two weeks ago,

said some things which were far from
complimentary to j. George Wright,

J. o. DUNBAR's ILLNESS
An Operation Performed but Results
 Gave No Encouragement.

A rumor was current on the streets yesterday announcing the death of J. O. Dunbar, one of the prCprietors of the Democrat, in Los Angeles. The rumor could not be traced to it's origin, and MT. Dunbar's most intimate friends here had received no news to that effect to late, hour last night.
 It is probable that the rumor started through the repeating of news regard ing his illness, brought back by re- turning eXcursioEists to the coast and by letters from there. B. F. Porter who returned Wednesday, said that an operation had been performed, in which Dr. Wyiie, formerly Oi Phoenix, as sisted. and that the operation was un- dertaken almost as fast resort. It Was found that the patient was suffer ing from an abcess of the liver, which was also greatly enlarged. and that the conditions were such that tho sur goons could hold out no hope for his recovery.
 M Jacobs also received a letter yes terday from a member of his family now in Los Angeles, saying the oper- ation was performed last Saturday. but that recovery was impossible, and that the end was expected in few hours, or few days a the most.

THE WILSON PEOPLE
Think That Good May Come Out of
 Even Graham County.

The rivalry between the Wilson and
 Shannon factions Of democrats has reached the point of irritation one with the other and the members of one crowd some times pass members of the other on the street without speaking. As the time for the primaries ap- breaches the situation grows more tense. so that 1t is possible that by Saturday night the factions will pes itively dislike each other. But the confidence of each side becomes more and more supreme. The partisans of both the candidates believe that there is only the counting to be done, a pure ly formal proceeding, and still the Brava question remains unsettled.
 The Wilson people had word, from Graham county yesterday which mod flied the disappointment they felt the night before. when they learned that the convention had instructed it's del cgates for shannon. They learned that there were eighty-eight votes in the SolomOnVille convention. of which forty-fivc were for Shannon and forty three for Wilson. The eighteen dele gates were instructed to vote as unit for Shannon, but of the eighteen Col OiEG4 W llSOi II IGllNlS NAdlui NA4eIl lSi' will be with him in the organization Of the Tucson convention. There have been times when a vote on organiza tion was worth mere than one direct for a candidate. There was such situa ton in the democratic county con- vention in this county two years ago. when delegates were being selected for the territorial convention.
 Word was also received from COchise county that the convention which was held there on Wednesday had instruct ed it's delegates to vote as q unit, but did not instruct them as to the name of the candidate for whom they were to vote. The delegation, though, is made up of such men as Dr. Sweet and B. A. Packard, who are friends of MT. shan non.
 The situation in this county was not materially changed yesterday. It is agreed by both parties that the fight will be settled in the city and in two wards of it. Each side, though, is con tending that it will be able to carry at least three, with a fighting chance for the other one. The Wilson people re- gard the Second as doubtful territory. while the Shannon people see q cloud nowhere except in the Fourth. where the strength of the Young Mems Dem ocratic club is condensed. They are hopeful of holding it in solution.

A NEW INDUSTRY
Souvenir Toothpicks Made of Nigger-
 head Cactus Thorns.

The resources of Arizona have hard fly been prospected yet, much less de- veloped Fifty years from now there l will be hundreds of ways of making money cut of the natural resources of Arizona that are not yet dreamed O.. Illustrating this idea, reference to a new industry at Mayer, Arizona. is in teresting.
 IL is probable that at least ten thou sand people who have gone picnicking in Arizona during the last five years, lin a section where the "niggerhead" cactus grows, have pulled the long. sharp thorrs off the cactus, looked at them, and observed that they would make good roothpicks Yet but one man in Arizona has acted on this nat ural suggestion to turn it to a profit, and that is E. g. Rogers of Mayer.
 Anybody can cut the thorns off, box them and sell them, but in that shape they are dull and unattractive in color. and really tco sharp to be of good ser vice. They can be scraped down with a knife till a beautiful variegation of red, white and black and other colors is given, but that process is too slow. MT. Rogers therefore interested Joe Mayer with him, and began a series of expensive experiments with chemicals fer a method of treatment by whole sale. He has been rewarded by finding the proper treatment and has patented the process, so he will be protected in his preparation of the tOothpicks for market.
 First he goes out and gathers a load of the niggerheads. and bringing them to his little work shop, with a pair of big shears. such as timers use. he shears off the thorns. Then they are treated to various chemical. baths, thousands of them at a time, from which they emerge brilliantly colored through the removal of the outer sur face. yet rendered even more pliable than before, instead of more brittle, as might occur if not properly treated. The points are then slightly dulled by machinery, and they are ready for boxing and sale as Indian souvenir toothpicks." They can be sold almost as cheap as a good quality Of wooden picks, are as endurable as quills and a genuine novelty. The business is still in its infancy and has not been adver- tised. but MT. Rogers feels sure he has q good thing. and proposes to follow it up.
