TRUSTS.
Recently the business and pollGcal
worlds have been startled by great
combinations OF capital seeking to
drive smaller competing industries to
the wall and to acquire complete con-
troll of the products and supply OF GER
tain articles Of trade which are neces-
saries and which the people must have
at almost any price. In great many
instances these combinations have
been successful in their efforts to con-
troll the national market and the pow
er they WELD is immense. There Is no
doubt that it has taken business ability
of a high order thus to gain control nt
a commodity and that without this
ability it could not have been done. II
is also true that the trusts. II rightly
conducted, could be Of benefit instead
of an evil to the consumer. But as soon
as a monopoly is acquired the tenden-
cy is to Cypress, and with the Sreat
mower which these combinations WELD
the oppression may become unbeara-
ble. This tendency has become SO
marked, and the evils resulting there
from so patent, that it has led to much
national and State legislation on the
subject, but in most instances
to no avail. Combinations are
still forming and those al
ready in existence are be"oili-
ing more powerful. The tendency TO-
wards Capitalization OF wealth is be-
coming more marked every day. Inc
trust is seeking to control every line
of industry and capitalistic monopo?:es
are becoming too powerful.
It is only recently, however, that
the trust has invaded the borders OF
this State, but at present it is active

oly of those commodities in which it

iety
The first move toward the coming
Congressional campaign in New Jersey
will he the Republican convention in
the new Fifth district, which will be
held in BeIvidcTe on June d As this is
said to be the earliest date on which
convention has ever been held in that
section of the State. it is surmised that
the friends Of Congressman Fowler are
afraid to allow the date to go any far
thcT along-
There is said to be a decided oDDosi-
tion TO Mr.. Fowler in his own county of
Union That is not surprising in view
cf the bitter factional fights that have
been going on for several years between
the wing of Republicans led by Fowler
and former Governor voorhees, and the
wing Of which United States Senator
Kean is acknowledged to be the head.
It is declared that if Fowler cannot get
a large part Of the delegates from
Warren and Morris counties. which form
the remainder of the district. he cannot
hone 10 win in the convention, because
Of the strong probability that his own

kidnapping the president and toastmas-
ter Ct their rival class.
Everything worked IS planned. After
locking their own POSTMASTER in a closet
in order to insure his safety, ten of the
largest and most muscular Of the Fresh
men forced their way into the room OF
Wilbur, the Sophomore postmaster. and
overpowered him before an outcry could
be made BY means OF a decoy note

into the room, He also was bound and
gagged, and laid beside his classmate-

the Sophomores. After waiting in vain
for the officers. upon whom the success
of the evening largely depended, a com

THE MARTINIQUE EXPEDITION

Prof. Hill, of the Geological Survey
recently assigned as one Of the party TO
investigate the Martinique disaster, has
returned TO washington
Prof. Hill says:
The endeavor which the United

the large representation Of United

men has made a deep impression upon
the people of the island, to whom we

Pierre When told that it was on French
territory they could not understand why
a little international complication
should be permitted to interfere IN the

TOO much cannot be said of the en-
terprise and labor of United States Con-
sui Aymes. who rushed to the scene OF
action from his station at Guadalupe
with hardly a change Of clothing and a
few shillings in his pocket, and then
manfuIIy end iRtelligently did every
thing in his power TO assist the people
of the island and the American relief
party. It is feared that his health,
which was already pTccaTious, is Sc
riously shattered by his laboTs.
The only criticism that could be
made concerning the outcome Of the
expedition would be concerning the
manner in which the relief was dis
tributed on the island The governor
and many other prominent officials hav-
ing been killed, the slowness of the re-
lief was no doubt due to the disorganized
