Foreign Trusts.

In view of the turn which the
discussion of trusts has taken and
also in view of the attempt of GER
tain political influence to create a
confusion in public opinion, certain
facts are worthy of frequent reit-
Grafton.
The first trust successfully insti-
tuted in this country was the Stand
ard Oil company. There is. no
Tariff duty on petroleum. Some
persons say there is an anthracite
coal trust. There is no Tariff duty
on anthracite coal.
Henry w. Macrosity, a we'll
known English authority, in his
recent work on ,"Trusts and the
State;" says: "Great Britain has a
trust movement of her own, which
does not originate from American
example, but is native to the soil.
Let it further be remembered that
Britain is Free-Trade. The Nobel
Dynamite Trust was founded in
1882, and is highly successful. II
we take the ordinary criterion of a
trust, that it must control about &c
per cent. of the business of its trade
or district, then we can reckon

Yes, Mr.. Democrat, we will ad-
nit that there are more trusts than
were ever known known before in
this country; but, another fact. Do
you know that there are more men

A Pythian Sermon.

On Sunday evening nearly one hundred
members of New Jersey Lodge, No l,
Knights of Pythias, attended the Metho-
dist Church and listened to special ser
mon by the pastor, Rev. N. ]. Wright.
The speaker opened his remarks by al
luding to the killing of Abel. When
Christ appeared before Cain and asked
him where his brother was, he replied:
Am T my brothers keeper ?" and this
answer was the text of the sermon, taken
from Genesis, 4th chapter and part of the
9th verse. This parable from the first
brotherhood of man was portrayed in
striking contrast to recital of that classic
story, the scene of which was laid in
Sicily, where friendship was SO nobly ex-
emplifed in the conduct of Pythias He
offered his life as sacrifice for his friend
Damon, who was Senator of Syracuse
condemned to death for having displeased
his ruler. Pythias entered the dungeon
as hostage for Damon while the latter
visited his family. His servants killed
his horse that he might not return and he
refused the appeal of the fair Calanthe to
flee. The time for the execution had ar
rived and Pythias was led to the head
mans block. Being true to his vow Da-
mon returned with the speed of the winds
amid the shouts of the multitude and
saved his friend. The tyrant Dionysius
marveled at this exhibition of bravery
and granted a pardon to Damon Mr.
Wright paid high tribute to the princi-
pies of the order, Friendship, Charity
and Benevolence, and closed his remarks
by calling attention to the fact that after
all the church was the universal order in
which all should hold membership.

freeholders shall be made in any county,
the question must first be submitted to the
voters for adoption or rejection, at any

flied voters of the county, as evidenced
by the total poll at the prior fall election

The Mount Holly High School team
played game of base ball with the
Glover A. A., of Philadelphia, on Satur-

class semi professional teams.
Editor Mount Holly NEws:-On Satur-
day last. | attended the ball game be-
tween Mount Holly High School and
Glover Athletic Club, of Philadelphia,
and was pleased at the fine showing of
the home team. There was one feature
commended, viz the perfect order main
tanned on the grounds. There was an en-
tire absence of profanity, which so often
mars games of this sort and prevents the
presence of persons of refinement. The
Mount Holly boys are to be highly com
mended for the pains and trouble they
take to maintain order and the strict dis
cipline enforced The encouragement
they receive is not commensurate with
their efforts Their work should receive
greater support. With so much unpro-
ductive ground that might be made avail
| able, it is pity that some of the enter
prising citizens of the town do not offer
the boys place to play ball Help the
boys. Respectfully, AN OLD Boy.
