BARCOCK GIVES A REASON.

In our Washington dispatches yes
tons were that the House would pass
an antitrust bill during the present
week. This sudden activity in the d.
rection of antitrust legislation is ex-
planned to some extent by Representa-
tive Babcock OF Wisconsin.
1t seems that the Republicans are
alarmed by the falling off in the Re-
publican vote in the cities. and they
have been looking for the cause. The
conclusion they have reached is that
there is great dissatisfaction among
labOrers and salaried people with the
Republican party because it has done
nothing to keep down the exorbitant
prices of trusts
The chief benefciaries OF the pros
perity which the country has been
farmers. manufacturers and business
men. The laborers and salaried people
have not benefited by it to any great
extent Here and there the. wages of
laborers have been raised. but, as a
general thing, salaries have not been.
To these classes OF people therefore
the prosperity of which so much is
said is hurtful rather than helpful.
They have had to pay more for their
food and clothes, for everything, in
fact, and their incomes have not been
increased.
Therefore there is dissatisfaction
among those who work for salaries and
wages. They want something done TO
bring down prices, and they blame the
Republican party for being so lenient
with trusts.
There was no falling off in the Re-
publican party in the agricultural dis
tricts at the last election. The farm
ers are satisfied with prices of farm
products and manufacturers have no
reason to complain. In fact, business
generally is as good as it has ever
been. The antitrust legislation is to
placate those who work for wages and
salaries.
And what sort of legislation will it
be? VIII it be such as will alarm
trusts? 1t is doubtful. The trusts do
not seem to be alarmed. Doubtless
they are satisfied that all that it is
proposed to do is to pull the wool over
the eyes of those who feel they are
oppressed by trusts. That there will
be legislation that will bring down
trust prices is not at all probable.
If the Republican party were in
earnest in legislation against trusts it
would take the tariff off of articles
that are made by them. That would
bring down prices. Representative
Babcock knows that. He advocated
that plan before the last congressional
elections, but for some reason or other
he has nothing to say in favor of it
now. Apparently he has been whipped
into line. The Republican party has
no intention to disturb the tariff. 1t
was influenced to take the tariff off of
coal for one year by the fear that If
1t did not do something of the kind it
would suffer a great loss of popularity.
The fact. however, that it took off the
tariff for only a year proves beyond
all question that the only way to make
the trusts come to terms, namely, by
taking the tariff off of trust made
articles, is not to be adopted.

Honey Had Hives.

"Mr. Depew," said a gentleman,
speaking recently of the Senator from
New York, according to the Minneapo-
lis Journal, pays d compliment as
gracefully as any man, and one would
never expect to see him fail to rise to
the occasion. 1t was, therefore, a mat
ter of considerable surprise to me when
at a dinner where the Senator was a
guest / observed that he allowed to
pass several excellent opportunities 10
compliment a charming young lady
of the company"
Afterward he commented upon the
omission to Mr.. Depew himself.
" You observed the lady?" he asked.
Yes 1 answered.
You noticed that she might be ex-
tremely sensitive?' he went on.
Yes 1 replied. though, truth to
tell, 1 hadn't considered the lady's dis
position at all.
Well said Mr.. Depew, slowly, I
once told a sensitive girl that thought
her as sweet as honey, and the result
was disastrous.
How So? I questioned, though 1
ought to have known better.
THE Senator answered me in a whis-
per. Next day the lady had hives"

A Long Twenty Minutes.

A. II. Harris of North Carolina is
here promoting the Appalachian forest
reserve plan. says the New York
Herald. He was formerly a lawyer in
St. Louis. One day he left his Office
TO go to luncheon and hung a sign
Back in twenty minutes on the door.
He never did go back. and while he
was out he received a business offer
from North Carolina and left for that
state at once.
When Harris entered the House res
taurant to-day the first man he saw
was Representative Joy of ST Louis,
who had the next office to him twenty
years ago, and whom he had not seen
since.
Il thought you were coming back in
twenty minutes?" said Joy.
Well" Harris replied. Il meant
twenty-five years. for / shall be there
for the Worlds Fair in 1904"

One thousand skilled artisans living
in Meriden, Conn, know more to-day
about trusts than they did a week ago.
They were employees of an old and
well-established silver plated ware fac
tory. They earned fair wages and
were contented with their lot Not
long ago, however, a trust was formed
to absorb such factories, and it swal-
lowed up the Meriden concern along
with others. Last Saturday evening
when these 1000 workmen received
their pay envelopes they found in
them, in addition to their weeks earn
ings, a little slip informing them that
their services would no longer be re-
quired. In short, they were all dis
charged without a days notice, and it
is announced that the factory will be
closed indefinitely, or until such time
as the trust sees fit to reopen it. There
is no suggestion that the factory was
short of work, the trust has probably
shut it down in order to curtail the
supply and force prices up.

1t is predicted in some of the Paris
special correspondence that the trial
of the Humberts. the famous swindlers,
will develop into hardly more than a
farce. The charge of forgery will prob
ably be abandoned, and Nine. Humbert
and her accomplices who are under
arrest will get off with light sentences.
The Humberts, it is argued, are in
possession of too many family and
political secrets to make it advisable
for them to be driven to bay. Letters
of a more or less compromising nature
from more than fifty persons in high
social and political life have been dis
covered in the effects of the Humbert
family. 1t seems that Nine. Humbert
had the means by which she could
secure decorations of the Legion OF
Honor for her friends and patrons, and
that she procured these decorations for
a number of influential persons.

DEATH OF EDITOR GONZALES.


There was at no time much hope that
Narcisso @. Gonzales. editor of The
State at Columbia, S. c.. would sur
vive the wound inflicted by Lieut.. Gov.
Tillman. The complications that were
naturally expected from the character
quickly.
In the death of Editor Gonzales South
Carolina has lost one of her foremost
and most useful citizens. For ten years
or more he played an important part
in the political affairs Of the state,
and his trenchant pen was always
welded on the side Of the right in the
discussion of public questions and FOR
purity in politics. He hated shams and
demagogy and attacked them vigorous
~ and in language so plain and foTci-
BILE that his paper exerted a wide in
fiuence, and he was regarded as one of
the most important factors in all mat
tiers pertaining to the states welfare.
Mr.. Gonzales was not a popular man
in the sense of being good fellow,
but he was honored and respected not
only by those who knew him person
ally, but also by those who felt the
influence of his paper. His integrity
was unquestioned, and his ability ad-
mitted. Had he lived it is probable
that he would have been called to
high place in the gift of the people
whom he served so we'll and faithfully
1t is profoundly to be hoped that the
tragedy of which he was the victim
will mark the beginning in South Car
DINA of a public sentiment that will
put an end to such tragedies.

The sixteen-inch gun that was tested
at Sandy Hook the other day has been
christened Little Animosity," because
it is so big. 1t is fifty feet long and
weighs 1870 tons. To fire it one time
costs more than $500, and its range
is said to be twenty-one miles. How
ever, Gen. Crozier says it's effective
range is only about three miles, since
at a greater distance the rotundity of
the earth prevents accurate sighting
at target. The great gun, therefore,
is MOI one whit more effective for ac-
tual service-for shooting to hit in
time of hostilities-than a gun half
the size would be. In our late war
with Spain practically all of the effec-
tive shooting of our ships was done
with guns Of five and eight inches bore
There was not a hit by a twelve or
thirteen-ineh gun, and only one or two
by ten-incher. Ordnance officers,
however, are satisfied that utility has
been sacrificed to the spectacular in
/ the sixteen-inch rifle. hence no more
Of The pattern are to be built.

And now 1t is a cure for hay fever
that is announced. DR.. William Dun
bar of st. Paul. sMinn., at present So
journing in Germany, is the discoverer.
He says the fever is produced by the
inhalation of pollens of grasses. Rye
pollen, for instance. contains a sub
stance which dissolves in the blood
and acts on hay fever patients as a
violent poison. His cure is a toxin
made of serum taken from rabbits. 1t
is obtained by inoculating these ami
mails with poison extracted from the
pollens of various kinds of grasses. The
patient remains indoors from six to
eight weeks, with closed windows, dur
ing which time he is treated with the
serum.

y bill pending in the Illinois Legis-
lature proposes reducing the number
of aldermen of the city of Chicago
from seventy to thirty-hve, by e1ecting
one alderman instead of two from each
ward. 1t is further proposed to in
crease the pay of the aldermen from
$500 year to $4,000. If reducing the
membership and increasing the pay
would have the effect of giving Chi
cago cleaner and more able board
of aldermen there could be no doubt
about the wisdom of the change, but
it may be doubted that any such re-
form would be wrought. The increased
pay would make the ward heelers and
wire-pulling politicians all the more
eager to break into council.

There has been introduced into the
Tennessee Legislature a bill requiring
street railway companies to provide
separate cars for white and black pas
sengers. Have the legislators of Ten
nessee not read the newspapers dur
ing the year just passed? If they have
done so. they surely must have seen
how much trouble law of the kind
has caused in New Orleans. 1t worked
so badly there that even those who
demanded the law turned against it
and many of them openly defied it.
Nothing but friction and fights and
bad feeling resulted from it. There is
no reason for thinking that it would
be easier TO enforce such a law in
Nashville, Memphis or Chattanooga
than was found to be the case in New
Orleans.

the bitterness of the Civil War, and
as that bitterness died out Nast's fame
crumbled into dust. He had been so
entirely forgotten when he was ap-
pointed consul to Ecuador some months
ago that most people were surprised to
find he was still alive. Now a bill is
to be introduced into Congress provid-
ing for an appropriation of 200 with
which to buy several of Nast's war
paintings, to be hung in the National
Gallery at Washington. They probably
do not contain a great deal of art,
unless they are very different from his
cartoons. and in all likelihood their
titles are the only things of historic

St. -Ignace, Mich, Aug. 5.-Trayeling
men who make" Sault Ste. Marie report
that not in ten years has business been
so poor in the lock city as at present.
Money is tight, they say, and trade is
slow The completion of the water power
canal put an end to the labor that helped
business activity and as yet there has been
nothing Of Importance installed to make
it good Then came the financial trials
and tribulations Of the Lake Superior Cons
solidated. There are plenty of promises
of good things in the way Of manufacture
ing plants, but they have yet to materials
ize, and this condition finds business In
clined to be overdone.
Zone thing that has done as much to dis
courage as the financial trials Of the water,
power interests, is the announcement Of
the companys intention OF strng1ng a.
cable from the American canal power
house to that Of the canal on the Canadian
SIDE The purpose is said to be to secure
an interchange of power so as to protect
the plants on either side Of the river from
accident, but there is a strong suspicion
on the American side that Canada will
reap the benefit.
1t has been generally supposed that the
power to be generated by the American
canal would be used to operate industries
on the American side, and not to build up
the Canadian Soo There is some talk Of
preventing the carrying out Of the cable
project However, it seems to be the gen.
eral opinion that opposition would in the
long run be futile, and altho the company
could be put to trouble in the end it would
triumph and opposition might still further
| work to the detriment Of the American
city.
l. Some large plants will at some time be
in operation on the American side, along
the water power canal, but the 500 needs
| them now, .t-.. ta.5.
