CECIL RHODES IDEA.

Cecil Rhodes dreamt OF a combined
Anglo-Saxon power,to assume the lead
ership of the world, in politics, finances,
and Industries. To bring about that
combination he counted on the influence
Of a secret organization after the pat
tern Of the society founded by Igna-
thus Loyola The combination should
have the maintenance Of the peace OF
the world FOR its chief object.
The scheme IT, Of course, regarded
as an Idle dream, impossible of reallza-
ton, but II would be folly to forget
that many MISUNDERSTANDING plans
have at first had just that appearance.
The world owes much Of its important
history to the men who In their own
day were regarded as Missionaries.
Nothing is more certain than that
the dispersed branches OF the human
family will gradually be reunited UNI
der one head, The present confusion
Is but temporary Order will be born
Of chaos. Families, tribes, nations,
races. are even now being grouped to-
gether, and only when that work Of
gathering shall have been completed.
can peace become universal, because
then all national wrongs. inflicted by
the strong upon the territories Of the
weak. will be righted, and there can be
no further cause for the quarrels and
jealousies that In the past have bred
wars and strifes,
How this shall be accomplished may
not be clear at this time But the
formation Of combinations between
the Anglo-Saxons, the Teutons, the
Says, the Latin races respectively
would not be bad preliminary TO a
final union OF interests Of all nations,
and the English speaking millions
might as well set the example. They
have been the standard-bearers Of the
most advanced ideas in the world for
long time. They have the power and
influence necessary 20 take the first
step In the direction indicated.
Cecil Rhodes Is dead. but ideas do
not die with the persons that originate
them. Like seed sown, they may lie
dormant for a long time, but when the
conditions are favorable. they will send
forth their sprouts and develop.

GIGANTIC CONFINES.

The rumors that transatlantic steam
ship lines had been "Morganized' have
been denied. II Is always denied that
trusts exist But now II Is admitted
that six lines have formed a kind Of
combination. and II Is limited that a
working agreement" will be made
with other lines. so that the American,
English German. and French lines will
be included In the arrangement.
The term "Morganized' has been APP
piled very properly to this kind of
business. j, Pierpont Morgan is credit
ed with having engineered the follow
ing combinations The United States
Steel company. the Northern Securities
company, the Steamship combine. the
Coal Railways and Mines, and the
Southern and L. 4 N. Railways, with
a combined capital Of O50OOO, OOO-a
sum so large that the figures used to
represent II give but faint idea OF
It's magnitude No man would live
long enough to count that sum, even In
flve-dollar bills
This "Morganl2atlon" Of business Is
commencing TO become more and more
grave and serious. II not only means
the regulation Of prices and the end Of
wholesome competition, II means the
concentration OF power In the hands of
a few, and If the modern Caesars
should take II into their heads to
thwart the will of the people, they
could do So Notwithstanding constitu-
tons and ballot boxes.

most effective remedy

houses, or some Of them, have sue

ness done by the retail butchers In
every large city In the country, as far
as slaughter Is concerned, The trust
1t Is said, is In absolute control OF the
market. II dictates the terms on which
retailers can obtain supplies and the
price at which the meat shall be dis
posed Of to the public. Now, there are
laws for the protection Of the public
against that kind Of business, and there
are officers charged with the duty Of
prosecuting the violators Of those laws
OF course, II the officers will not, or
cannot, do their duty 10 the people, the
latter are helpless.
Attention Is directed, however, to an
evil that seems TO have penetrated
every line Of industry. Trusts may be
beyond the reach of law, but they are
not beyond public opinion. And some
time the people will look into the situa-
tion. And the question that WIN be
asked then viii run something like this:
III the competitive system Is to be
destroyed for the benefit of the COM
manders Of millions, why would It no;
be just as well 10 go one step further
and consolidate all the business inter-
ests Of the country, and place them in
the hands Of strong government for
the equal benefit Of all the peope?'
Socialists are hoping and expecting that
the trust system viii topple over and
land into Socialism and who can say
that they are absolutely wrong in this
view?

Local meat dealers are reported to

Of the people can no longer afford TO

A writer In the Philadelphia Medical
Journal is sounding a note OF warning
to young men, when he says that every
year more young men are graduated
from medical colleges, than can find
employment. The cause IL, he thinks,
the superabundance of medical coll
leges, where young men untitled for the
medical profession nevertheless obtain
a degree. He suggests that medical
schools should by law become State
institutions, as through such law the
medical schools Of low standard would
pass out Of existence. The writer gives
some interesting figures anent the med
lcine consumed in the United States.
He says that In one year medicines
compounded after doctors prescriptions

the Mayor and City Attorney on the
water question. our readers can Judge
for themselves who had the best OF the
argument in that conversation. AS to
the pecunlary value Of Mr.. cannon's
opinion on a law question, we are not
able to give the figures The Tribune
Is perhaps not aware that he has held
official positions in Utah, both as
prosecuting attorney and mayor Of
city. But that does not matter Mel
Their Is It important whether the legal
opinions Of the editor Of the News
are worth paying for, They are ac-
cepted, however, without pay In a very
large circle Of subscribers TO this paper
and by many people who make personal
inquiries, All that Is extraneous TO the
question before the public.
Three law firms. Of long experience
and excellent reputation, are advisers
of the canal companies IN this agree
ment with the atty. Their opinions are
surely as reliable as that OF an attorney
who Is but novice IN comparison.
They would not engage in this matter
II they had any doubt as TO It's legality,
and the views Of either of them would
be considered OF far higher value In
law circles than those o. he attorney,
who cites as his authority clause OF
the Constitution that any ordinary
mind can see has nothing to do with
the question.
The city Attorney has given an opin-
ion which the Tribune says $50 one
can read without being struck With the
strength of 1t, and its sound nppliea-
ton OF Constitutional principles II
Is on that opinion that the Mayor has
founded his latest objection to The plan,
for the obtaining Of additional water
for the needs OF the city and Of the
canal companies, which are already as
ISOLATED with the city in obtaining wa
ter from the same source OF supply.
That opinion is drawn from the fol-
lowing section Of the state constltu-
tion:
"The Legislature shall not authorize
the state. or any county, city town,
township. district or other political sub
division OF the State, TO lend us credit
or subscribe 10 stock or bonds IN ala
Of any railroad telegraph or other pri-
yate individual or corporate enterprise
