PROTECTION" TO A TRUST.

1t is generally known that since i'm
mediately before the institution of pro-
ceedlngs by the attorney general
against the meat trust the railroads
have treated the packers in the ship
ment of their product on the same ba-
SIS as they treat all other shippers.
Before that time, according to the rev.
Citations made before the interstate
commerce commission, the railroads
gave the packers the benefit of unjust
discrimination in their favor to an ex-
tent varying according to the demands
OF the packers and according to the
concession which competing roads were
Wiling to give. 1t was clear case of
perpetrating the worst evils from
which the people have suffered in the
past owing to dishonest administration
of the railroads.
The railroads pleaded that there was
no recourse for them but to yield to
the demands of the packers, on account
OF the operation of the competitive sys-
tenn among themselves. A circular is
sued by President Stickney, of the
Great Western railway, has found its
way into print which bears upon this
situation. 1t is addressed to the stock
holders of the Great Western road and
tells an almost incredible story of the
compulsion which the meat trust was
able to exercise on the carriers to vio-
late the provisions Of the law in their
favor. According to that circular tba
practice was for the railway companies
to bill packing house products at the
published rates and collect the fuD
amount of such rates, afterwards maxi
ing settlement by paying back to the
packers from 25 tof5O. per cent of the
money collected. Such conduct, of
course, involves a criminal violation of
the interstate commerce law and is
made punishable by fine and impris-
onment. The influence which operated
with the railroads to put an end IN
the evil is set forth in President Stick
ney's circular in the following Ian
guage:
49, The misery of making rates by paw
ing ana receiving unlawful rebates,
anu receiving companies to live con7

certainty pertaining to such rates f,su III III,

Inc packers and the railroads thus
stand convicted of criminal conduct
but the railroad officials can urge in
iilltlgation OF their offense that the vio-
lation of the law was forced upon them

United States and Haitian Telegraph

the state and navy departments here

with the revolutionary government
under Gen. Firmin and who was ap-

sue instructions, and accordingly a
cablegram was sent to Commander
McCrea directing him to prevent cut

ONE WAY OF ESCAPE.

The people are fast in the grip of the
trusts, whose clutches are strangling
the life out Of the body polite.
There is but one way of escape from
death by strangulation. That is through
the success of the Democratic candi-
dates at the election this fall-success
not only of the candidates for congress.
but for every office in the gift. of the
people.
Such result would effect a two-fold
safeguard for the people-the Repub-
Hcan party, warned by the signs Of
popular wrath, might afford at least a.
measure of relief during the next ses-
sion of congress, or, falling to do so.
there would be a complete Democratic
victory at the presidential election in
1904.
From a Democratic party standpoint
a victory this fall is most important. in
that it would give the Democrats high
hopes of greater victory in 1904.
Therefore, there is urgent reason
why every Democrat in Minnesota
should forget the differences Of the
past and unite for the entire state. leg
islative, county and congressional NOM
inees this fall. Gains all along the
line in November mean still greater
gains all along the line of 1904.
There is no Democratic disaffection
this year. The party is, to a man. for
Hon. L. A. Rosing for governor, and for
his associates on the ticket for the Of
fees for which they have been named.
In the several congressional districts
the most popular and must trustworthy
Democrats are being mentioned in con-
nection with the nomination for con-
gress. The congressional ticket win
command admiration and enthusiastic
support. For the legislature the same
thing is true. ALI over the state the
Democrats are urging recognized lead
ers of ability and character to make
the race for the senate and the house.
In loyal, patriotic manner these leaders
are responding to the solicitations of
the membership of the party. The leg

A FEW WORDS PUT FORTH
ON BEHALF OF CUBA
cuban-Amertcan League Discusses the
$35, ooo, 900 Loan.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The Cuban
American league has issued a statement
concerning the Cuban loan, which states
II the planters are to be aided, the Cuban
soldiers paid and the Cuban bonds hon
ofed the help must come Immediately. in
order that Cuba may command future
credit The loan required. $33 600 900 it
said, was not too large. Before the war
Spain sold bonds based ON her Cuban
revenues, for 5000, 900, 900, from which La
bllIty the United States relieved Cuba
The league suggests that Cuba author
1ze her banks to circulate a national cur
rency based on their holdings of Cuban
national bonds, which bonds the United
should be issued so that if Cuba ever be-
came part of this country they would
become solely United States debt.

boys are no more and stones are CON

CURIOUS KOREAN CUSTOM.
The Battle of stones which Marks
beginning of New Year.

One OF the most curious customs in
Korea marks the advent OF the new
year This Is the battle with stones,
participated In by inhabitants Of Seoul.
At spot about n mile and a half out
side the city walls. on the main road 10
the Han river, the people assemble by
thousands either as witnesses Of or par
tlcipants in this truly remarkable eXhi-
bition OF warlike good will. BY previ-
ous arrangement piles Of stones are in
readiness, all carefully selected and Of
n convenient size.
Without previous selection OF com
batants the participants form them
selves into opposing armies. about the
only qualification for service being ap-
parently the ability to hurl stone mt
the advancing forces of the enemy. At
first the stone throwing is at long range
and uninterestng. but as the throwing
continues the forces draw nearer, and
the fight wakes fast and furious, men
being detailed TO collect the stones into
heaps again or fetch fresh ammunition
for the firing line. Then the clash
comes, the two bodies meet. fierce rush
es are made, stones are discarded. and
knives and clubs are freely used. The
clash Of weapons, the screams Of the
combatants. the surging mass Of men,
some being trampled to death, now
falling, now struggling TO their feet, the
blood flowing from numerous Cuts-thc
whole goes to make picture that de-
pictS anything but the JOY we attribute
TO the coming OF new year. The fight
is kept up until the clang OF the great
city bell tells the combatants that 1t is
time to return home.
Perhaps the most singular feature
OF the celebration is that during the
remaining eleven months OF the year
the Korean is as amiable a person as
can be found in any country, and by
some writer's the average Korean is
characterized ms the most abject COW
ard on the face of the earth.
But. towards or no towards, the
Korean people still indulge, MS they
have for years, In this annual warlikc
welcome OF the new year. Indeed ii is

tom has become n national institution,

patronized by the king and the nobili-

merely to keep order among the specta-

lege with the advent of each new year,
and he is expected TO exercise that

he would be accounted n good, country
loving korean.-New York Tribune.

The largest part of the coffee grown

its excessive use Increases the risks OF
life. Its effect is In shortening the
