The Party of Progress.
burlington Free Press.

AS Senator Dillingham; so well said
in his able speech in Burlington, the
Republican party has always taken up
every question whose settlement was
demanded by the people, and it must
not fail to show itself to be the party
of majority rule in the present in
stance. Whatever our individual
principles and beliefs, no one will fol
a moment have the hardihood to say
that the majority should not rule
and every facility should be afforded
to ascertain the will of the majority
on this question in a way that will
leave no doubt where the majority
stands, as demanded by both the Glenn
ent party and by the regular Republi
cans.

Levi streeter's esth Birthday Anniver-


The venerable Levi Streeter celebrated
his Goth birthday anniversary at the home
of his son, Isaiah Streeter, at North
Hinsdale last Friday. AS has been the
custom for several years, all arrange
ments for the affair were in charge of his
sons and daughters, who issued general
invitation to the towspeople. Mr.. Street
err greeted his friends as heartily and en-
tered into the enjoyment of the occasion
with the same zest that has been q
marked feature of former like gather
ings. Very soon after noon guests began
to arrive, and during the afternoon and
evening. fully $50 persons had paid their
respects to the aged gentleman. His
defendants are numerous, and nearly all
were present. and while they remained
during the afternoon and evening the
larger part of the guests stayed only
long enough to offer congratulations, and
express the wish that the Tooth anniver-
sary of his birth, would still find the old
gentleman able to receive his friends.
Refreshments were served from 3 to s
p. m. Mr. Streeter is wonderfully we'll
preserved both in bodily and mental
vigor. His faculties, with the eXcep-
ton of his hearing, which is somewhat
impaired, are retained to q remarkable
degree. During the past summer he has
INDUCED in what has been favorite pas
time, and lined out two swarms of bees.
He takes care of a large vegetable gar
den every summer, but has given up the
smore arduous work of farming to which
the greater part of his life has been de-
voted. Mr.. Streeter greatly enjoys a
chat with a neighbor, and is always glad
when one drops in for a friendly call
and it would be hard for one not ac-
qualnted with fact, to believe that he

Improved NJ. X. c T. Flyer

With the opening of the summer

abreast of the times, has vastly inn
proved its service.
The famous "Katy Flyers" time
between Texas, st. Louis, Chicago,
and all northern and eastern points
has been shortened thirty minutes
to one hour and new sleeping car
line has been established to run be-
tween San Antonio and St. Louis
by the way of Fort Worth, on the

increased travel.
In addition to the shortening of
the time of the katy Flyer" the
Kansas City Express, train No. ?,
leaves Texas one hour and fifteen
minutes later, arriving at Kansas
City the following morning 1880.
All of the katy Flyer trains
have been re-equipped from baggage
car to sleeper, wide vestibules,
Pintsch gas, and north of Denison
mail cars; the government recog-
MIXING the fast time of this train
and insisting that its management

mail thereon.
The entire NJ. K. & T. lines in
Texas have been relaid with new
seventy-five pound steel, and a
large amount of ballast placed on
the same high standard with the rest
of the line. This rock ballast does
away with the dust annoyance and
passengers via the katy Flyer

The President vs. the Coal Trust.

President Roosevelt Friday request
ed Attorney-General Knox to submit
an opinion as to whether the combina-
tion controlling the anthracite coal
output constitutes a trust within the
meaning of the Sherman Anti Trust
act and the decision of the United
States supreme court thereon. This re-
quest was accompanied by the report
recently prepared by Carroll ID. Wright,
commissioner of labor, after careful
investigation of the differences exist
ing between the coal operators and
the miners, the facts forwarded by
President Mitchell of the United Mine
Workers association, and all other data
in his possession bearing on the sub
iect. If the report pronounces the com
bination a trust the presidents plan
of procedure will doubtless be similar
to that employed against the Northern
Securities Railroad merger and the
beef trust decisions in which two great
suits have not yet been handed down
by the L. S, supreme court. The pres
ident has taken this step in spite of
most powerful political and CONNER
cial influences brought to bear on him
against it. The seventh week of the
coal strike ended Saturday and neither
side shows the slightest disposition to
weaken
