SChwab DeCries Trusts.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 21.--In a
speech tonight before the Bank
er's Club, Chrales M. Schwab,
psesident of the United States
Steel Corporation, declared that

proposition, built on trinity
that would wreck anytning-the

citation than myself" said Mr..
Schwab, of the evil that lurked
in the trust scheme. | say
lurked advisedly, because the
trust is dead business propo
sition with which we will never
again be troubled. 1t was an
experiment, and that expert.
ment served its purpose. But,
it was founded on miscohception
and promoted along lines of self.
destruction.
Its fundamental principles
were the restriction of trade,
the increase of prices and the
throttling Of competitions

social. The consolidation, as
organized today, has for it's
guiding line the very opposite Of
this. Instead Of restricting
trade, it expands trade by
creating new avenues and re.
ducing the price of the com modi.
ties which it produces. 1t is
enabled to do this because the
chief advantage Of consolidation
is the reduction in the cost of
articles produced"
Touching on the relations
between labor and com binations,
/ beg to state that the greatest
advantage to the welfare of this
country has resulted. Wages
have steadily advanced since
consolidation started. This
curious thought occurred to me
this evening: Many people
think that the bonds of the Uni.
ted States Steel Corporation are
a first mortgage upon its great
properties. Ifyou stop to think,
you will find that the first great
mortgage is that which is owed
TO labor. The United. States
Steel Corporation pays to labor
approximately $150,000,000 a
year. This is equivalent to mort
gage debt of $4,000 900 upon the
property, which must be paid in
advance of the FIST mortgage

Gutta ,'ercha from Peat.

Advices from Germany are to
the effect that IL very satisfactory
article gutta percha has been
derived from peat, and great
things arc expected to result
from tho discovery in cheaper
ing the cost of insulating ocean
cables. Gutta percha is the
only substance thus far discov'
cred for protecting wire
against corrosive action OF salt
water, and the product is not
only limited, but is controlled by
an English firm of cable manu-
facturers, who own the forests
i'm the East Indies from which
the gutta percha is obtained.
Experiments to find substi'
tute have been going on for years
throughout the world, but thus
tar nothing has been entirely
successful The price of gutta
percha has been advanced con-
siderably by the demands of the
manufacturers of golf balls
which has almost doubled the
cost of cable manufacture, and
if this German inventor is able
to make an equally good insrla
tor out Of peat he will make q
very important contribution tc
the worlds economy, for peal
can be found in almost every
country on the globe in quaint
ties almost unlimited.

FRENCH RECIPROCITY TREATY
Cullom Will Press Its Consideration
 by the Senate.

Washington, Dee. S.-The first decided
 move in the Senate this session in the interest of the French reciprocity treaty was bade by Senator Cullom, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Re- lations. while the Senate was in execu- tive session today.
 He called up the treaty for the purpose of securing an order for the printing of documents bearing on the agreement and gave notice that he would ask the Senate to take up the treaty at an early day for the purpose of disposing of 1t, The propo- sition met decided opposition from num- Der of Senators, including Messrs. Ald- rich, Hoar, Lodge and Depew. Senator Aldrich moved that the treaty be refer redtto the Committee on Finance. saying that he thought 1t should have more complete investigation and from a diff iferent standpoint than 1t had had at the hands of the Committee on Foreign Re- lations. He said that so far as he had been able to learn the people who desire the ratification of the treaty were vastly in the minority in this country.
 Senator Hoar suggested that the treaty should go over at least until after tha Christmas holidays.
 Replying to these various remarks Sem ator Cullom said that he intended to press consideration or she treaty as ear nestly as was in his power, because he believed it to be due to the French re- public that the question should be con sidered and disposed of in a iignIfied and proper manner This he intimated was the wish of the administration and the Senator expressed his personal view that no other proceedings would be in accord ance with our duty toward another na- ton. He indicated that he would call up the treaty not later Inan next week.

 The Cause of It.

Circular lettet No. 157. Headquarters United Confederate Veterans, Adju' Generals office. J. B. Gordon. Gener- al Commanding George Moorman Adjutant General and Chief of Stan New Orleans. Dec. 6. 1902.
 To all commanding officers, comrades of camps, adjutants and comrades of the U. c, V.s: As many communications
 have been received lately, asking If 1t is permissible for U. c. V. Camps or offi-
 cials to indorse candidates for political
 office, and If L. c. V. camps or officials
 can, with propriety, participate in poll
 tics to any extent; for the information
 of all, the general commanding repub-
 fishes his circular letter No. 1Ss. of date
 January ?, 1901, with the addition to 1t of
 section 4, Article x, of the constitution.
 As circular No. 136 is in strict conform
 ity with the terms and intent of the U. c.
 v. constitution, 1t Is his determination while he occupies the high position of commander-in-chief of the surviving he- roes of the Confederacy, to enforce it, and to see that no infraction of the constitution occurs, through any political or religious action of any Character, or by permitting the indorsement of oandi- dates for office, or otherwise. by any of the camps of the '. c. V. Association or |. c. V. officials in their official ca pacity.
 The general commanding places the Y. c. V. Association with it's social, his torical and benevolent aims, objects and purposes, far above the policies, politics and contentious of the present day; as the Confederate veterans who compose it belong to a period in history which they consecrated by their valor and im- mortalized by their stainless deeds-they occupy an unique place in history. as there can never be another Confederate soldier-"that brightest young nation in the annals of time" and the cause for which they contended have been placed by the fortunes of war in niche in the abbey of ages; leaving a record to which mankind can point with ceaseless pride, telling the story of their honorable, glo- rious and deathless achievements.
 It Is then the duty of, and honor de- mands. that the members of the U. C. V. Association shall see that its benevolent features are not tarnished by any man ner. nor diverted in any way from the pure. noble and philanthropic purposes which its founders intended, and which it's objects declare In article II of the by using its praiseworthy and benehcent system for political or other purposes foreign to its high and holy mission.

JUDGE PARKER
as BEING DISCUSSED IN ALL
 PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.
No One Seems to Know Secret of His Fast Growing Popularity-He is Popular in His State
 and Country at Large.

James Creelman, in New York World.
 In spite of the widespread and unmis. takable Democratic movement toward the nomination of Chief Judge Alton Brooks Parker of the Court of Appeals for Pres ident in 1904, no man has yet succeeded in drawing from him the slightest hint of his attitude or ambition.
 Within three weeks scores of Demo- cratic leaders and newspapers. East West and South, have declared that Judge Parker Is the only Democrat who can carry New York State in the next Presi- dential campaign and that his nomina- tion is likely to become a party neces- sity.
 The Judge himself declines to discuss the matter, saying that the chief Judicial officer of the greatest State in the na- ton must hold his personality aloof from partisan politics and attend strictly to the business of his office.
 Nor can any of the political leaders ex- plain the secret of Judge Parkers popu- farity, although the demand for informa- ton about him Is as remarkable as his own reticence, His candidacy seems to be acceptable to MT. Cleveland, Senator Hill, to MT. Bryan, to Senator German and to many others of the powerful and one of them can say just why it is so. The truth is that there is less known about the political opinions and personal traits Of Judge Parker than any other American of national reputation.
 Lives on c Farm.
 When the Judge is not in Albany he lives on his farm Of ninety acres over looking the Hudson River at Esopus. Here he spends his time as a farmer, with his fruit trees, grain fields. vine yard and blooded cattle. His farm is his chief possession, a picturesque stretch of land. plentifully shaded, which runs from a tiny village on the West Shore Railroad ever the brow of a rocky hill down to the shore of the great river where there is a private dock, which is touched several times a day by the crack steamboats At the top of a green slope. over which the Judges pigs and hens are allowed to range. stands a quaint house, remodeled from a Dutch stone residence built in Colonial days. Here the Judge lives, and
