hibit every form of combination which shall prevent competition.
 We are dependent on these great combinations of capital to do all things for which individual strength is totally inadequate. We are dependent upon them to take great risk which individuals ought not to be asked to take and cannot take without liability to ruin. Above all, we are dependent on them largely to succeed in the great struggle for the markets and the carrying trade of the world.
 For myself, I want to see the American flag flying again in ev- cry port in the world. I like to hear of Pierpont Morgan buying up foreign steamship companies.

SHOULD BE CURED. BUT NOT DESTROYED
By Senator GEORGE fRISBIf aOAR

ITIHE Sherman antitrust bill I55S;5| has by no means exhaust ~ ed the national power over trusts. We have the right to require in all interstate and inter national transactions the safe guards which have in general been employed for the state of Massa- chusetts in regard to its local cor porations. We can require every corporation, great or small, to do the bidding of congress at the per il of exposing it's members to indi- vidual liability for all its debts and obligations and of being pro- hibited from doing interstate busi- ness. l see no necessity for any constitutional amendment.
 If, as I believe, congress may rightfully prohibit any corpora tion or joint stock company from engaging in interstate or interna- tional commerce at all, it can pre- scribe the conditions on which it can so engage. It can declare that it shall submit its affairs to the in spection of government, as in Mas sachusetts railroad and savings banks and insurance companies

THE TRUST
IS IHE MONSTER EVIL OF OUR DAY
BH.viCe President ADlA STEVENSON

bl n.tiCe freSicent ADlN SttftNSUN tE NESTING conditions chal-
 lenge the attention of all S thoughtful men. These conditions are confined to no par ticular section, but exist through out the length and breadth of our country. Notwithstanding our bOasted prosperity and the indi- vidual fortunes that have sudden iy been acquired, the sad fact re- mains that to the mass of the peo- pie this oft re- Ma
 peated boast of
 prosperity is but N .aa "a mockery. With
 in a brief t;inc ar VAS M ticles of daily con V Iw sumption - the ~ foods essential to human health and comfort-have enormously Increased in cost. Meat at many tables Is indeed an article of lux ury. The much vaunted prosper ity is that of the favored few. To the mass of the people conditions have seldom been more exacting, rarely less hopeful, than at this moment. It were worse than idle to close our eyes to the discomfort, the feeling of unrest so general in this land. It is the part of wisdom to ascertain the cause and, if pos sible, to apply the remedy.
 The trust is the crying evil of today. By combinations of capi- tai unknown to our earlier days, against public policy, and in many instances in direct violation of state laws, the small dealer has been driven from the field. He cannot compete with the trust. His occupation is gone. The field being clear, competition destroy ed, the managers of the various trusts fix prices to the consumer at their own pleasure. Is 1t pos sible that the people are inditfer- ent to this growing evil9 It vir- tually destroys competition, "the life of trade" In no small degree 1t usurps the functions of govern ment. By intelligent machination, exclusively to its own gain, the trust has greatly increased to the consumer the cost of articles of daily necessity. The shadow of the trust has fallen upon every hearthstone in this land, and the end is not yet.
 THE TRUST IS THE MONSTER EVIL OF OUR DAY, A CONSTANT MENACE TO OUR WELFARE AS A PEOPLE.

The Puzzle OF the Nations.

ties exteld to every part of the empire
and will continue to do so as long as
native Turks, Slavs, Greeks, AL

ligious fanaticism is as natural to the
people OF the country as the air they
breathe. 1t is permanent, intense,
and likely to break out at any time.
AL the fleets of all the Powers in the
world could not exercise it, and if the
Government were honest in its reform
professions its strength would be most
severely taxed in the effort to prevent
the recurrence of religious riots and

Left Children to Starye.

Camden, S. c., Sept. IA pitiful
case, the result Of parental neglect,
has come to light few miles from
this city. Three weeks ago negro
man and his wife deliberately aban-
doned their six children, ranging in
ages from eleven to two years.
When leaving their home, they told
the children to take good care of the
house until they returned, but that
was the last seen or heard Of the un-
natural parents. The helpless chill
dren were left destitute, aud would
likely have starved to death but for
the kindness of negro man of Cam

Liverpool, Sept. 4.-The news re-
ceived from Lagos, British West AT
RIGA, Sept. 2, that the development of
the cotton trade in the interior part of
Africa was so great that the local rail
road officials had been obliged TO run
extra trains in order to bring down the
large supplies to the coast, som ewhat
surprised the cotton interests here,
cotton growing in West Africa beiag
regarded as in largely experimental
stage. Thirty tons OF cotton from La
gos arrived in the Mersey this week
and was pronounced to be of excellent
quality. The seed sent out from here
and sown in June is expected to yield
1900 bales. The first delivery Of this
crop 10 expected at Christmas. If the

Boys Composition on Parents.

Parents are things most boys have
to look after them. Most girls also
have parents. Parente. consist Of Pas
and Mas. Pas talk good deal about
what they are going to do. but it's
mostly Mas that make you mind.
Sometimes it is different tho. Once
q boy came home from college on va
cation, His parents lived on farm.
There was work to be done on the
farm. #ork On the farm always has
to be done early in the morning. This
boy didn't get up. His sister goes to
the stairway and calls:
willie, tits a beautiful morning.
Rise and list to the lark
The boy didn't say anything. Then
Ma calls:
William, it Is time to get up.
Your breakfast is growing cold"
The boy kept right on, not saying
anything. Then his pa puts his head
in the stairway, and says he:
"Billi'
Coming, siri" says the boy.

ever he pleases. But I am going to
stick to my parents. However, Idon't t

into their head that I oouldn't get
along withouh them. Says this boy to
me:
Parents are . nuisance; they aren't t
what they're cracked up to be.''
Says I to him:

Advice ON Shocks.

The average man is mortally afraid
OF live wire and he has good reason
to be. Il is not one man in thous-
and who will get within hailing dig
tance Of one if he can help il Should
accident put him within reaen of one
the very fact would soare him half to
death, And if ever he did know what
to do ia,such an emergency his memory
would fail TO act.
The recent death Of negro who
came in contact with a live wire
through an iron hoop, and lost his
life, calls to mind the necessity of @
general knowledge of some simple
rules of action for such emergencies.
"A Picayune man had talk With E.
b. Mckinney, superintendent of pow
er of the New Orleans Railways Com
pany, yesterday, which is interesting
in this connection.
"The best thing fo- the average
man to do is to keep as far away from
live wire as possible" he remarked,
but then you cannot guarantee that
you can follow that rule all your life.
The wire misat not observe the rule
as str.'iiy as you do. Electricity has
different enect on different people.
A man with strong heart could with
stand heavy shock and be none the
worse for it. On the other hand a
man with weak heart might be kill
ed by shock from a telephone wire.
Wood, you know, when dry is 3
non.oonduotor, and if you happen to
see awire hanging down you can use
long stick ard push il out of danger
to yourself. But you want to be sure
that the stick is dry. It would not do
TO use an umbrella, because the steel
ribs or the steel rod, if it is one of
that kind, would connect you With
eternity in hurry. once held q
live trolley wire charged With 500
volts, by covering my hands wish my
coat. The vire broke. and as it would
be some time before the trouble wagon
could reach che scene I pulled il out Of
the way and allowed che cars to go on.
A man could take his coat or felt hat,
il they are dry, and be perfectly safe,
provided he used caution and did not
allow the wire to come in contact with
his person.
Suppose man got hold Of wire
and could not let go, and you wanted
to rescue him?"
"Well, the wires carrying that kind
of current are;all underground in this
part of the city. That is the alterna
ting current. The direct current is
that which is in the trolley
wires. The thing to do would be
to get pair of rubber gloves and
pull the wire away from the Wis
tim. Don't attempt to touch the vic
tim while he has the wire, unless
you are thoroughly insulated your
SELF"
Suppose man has been shocked
into unconsoiousness, what should be
done?"
Anything that will revive the
heart action. Dash cold water on
him, or do anything that is calculated
to revive che heart action"
But the best ADVICE" he contin-
ued, f" would benot to monkey with
live wire it you don't know anything
about it. "-New Orleans P;oazaae.

have adopted rather novel method
of conducting the affairs of the large
estate, which consists of 25, 900 acres
of very fertile farming land in Mclean
County, near that city.
The Funk family is incorporated.
There are eight brothers and thirteen
sons and cousins, all Of whom are
stockholders in the company, deriving
their respective interests from old
Isaac Fun Funk who settled in that ooun-
The 'ahsEsholders are well-to.do

The vast estate is being managed in
q thoroughly scientific manner, for
the Funk family are practical farmers
Of the first rank. It is said to be
highly prosperous.
Experiments now in progress on
this estats may result in an improved
system Of raising corn, whereby the
farmers Of Illinois may save s8,0OO,-
600 year on this one crop.
The notion OF anIincorporated fam.
lily is not bad one, especially as ap.

Of whom, instead Of attempting to
improve and utilize his share, loses
no time in turning che land in cash,
and either putting it into some haz.
ardous city business or spending it
bodily.

 A 1TIZl1NS of Jackson's Corner E It cost me the sum of $l.59 k
 sS bin this town for the enter
 taInment now awaiting you. but I have feeling deep down in my breast that after the usual collcc.icn has been taken up 1 shall come out ai least quarter ahead and be able to move on to the next town.
 Tue subject of my lecture, as y0u have been informed. is "Perseveranee. {. or, Sticking to It. Give me liberty or death. but also give me a man who won't let go after he gets hold. Truth ambition. virtue and honesty are goad building stones, but you must have ii.e mortar of perseverance 10 cement thes. together.
 Let us take the case Of Cesar H. began looking ahead when he was tea years old. At fifteen his father want. ed to apprentice him to cobbler ,iia his mother wanted to establish him in a Troy laundry. He had made up h. mind to be a ruler of men and events but for five years every sort Of dis couragemcnt was thrown in his war. His father got him into a baseba. team. hoping that woulG satisfy hiS ambition; his uncle got him couutr.. school t0 teach, thinking he would ia time become an Uncle Rube; his bro. er-in-iaw tried to get him to go par; ners in the windmill business, and the family doctor said he was Threatened with consumption and should put iH most of his time fishing.
 Some young men would have Si-e; up and started out as tin peddlers or joined q circus, but Cesar had the roo- in his teeth. and Le never let go.
 It was sticking to it that showed L. along until he reached the position where he could send a thousand people . to jail by a nod of his head Tlcy bored in on him at last and finished him eff. but that simply came from jealousy. He had lived to eluciG4te my contention that sticking to it beats even q beef trust
 Some of you here at Jackson's Cor neTs. which I find consists of fourteen houses. q store and blacksmith sho- and is plcturesquely situated on thrc: sides Of a horse pond, must have heard Of Christopher Columbus. 1t any rate l will take 1t that you have and cali your attention 10 the fact that if he hadn't stuck io it we might have been born in Africa instead of the United States.

headed boy who is half asleep. He is

reuneaQed, freckle faced anu StuD nosed, and he has probably never been to a circus or had his fill of lemonade. but can l say that thirty years hence he will not be greater man than Tom Platt or Mark Hanna? If he's got the stick to it under all that red hair, he's bound to get there. and only death can keep him back.
 My friends, l don't want to hurt your feelings by making comparisons. have no doubt that if you had been born when George Washington was you'd have been as big a man as he was and perhaps bigger. It wasn't your tault that you had 10 wait lGo years later, and I'm not the man to hu- initiate you. simply quote him as an other successful specimen of the stick 10 it policy. After he had determined to become the Father of His Country be never let go. He got the worst of it OF q hundred cccasions, but he felt that hanging on would bring success in tle end. and he hung.
 And l now come down 10 c. Eope Jones. the man who stands before yer. an living illustration of what pci severance has done and can do. When you look at me you see perseveran- g itself. Ny parents were honest and respectable. but my father dita;'t know enough to sharpen an ax or my mother enough to make catnip tea.
 As Q baby was lop shouldered nl knockkneed: as a child I was h-mp- backed and had the earache. When was five years old didn't know q goose egg from barn door. but down in my own mind had a plan. had determined to become great ard fa- nous and to place the name of Q. Hope Jones beside that of the greatest of earth.
 Once I tad made up my mind ! al- lowed nothing to discourage or dis suade me. I was fed on johnnycake and buttermilk. I went barefoot in winter and bareheaded in summer ! got up at o'clock in the morning .o feed the hogs and sat up till 10 o'c,ock at night to feed the cows. The cnly schooling I had was what taught my self from reading over the tax receipts and mortgages on my fathers farm.
 As young man I wasn't looked upon as anything too good 10 hoe corn at 30 cents day. and those who didn't predict that l would go into the drive well business were sure that I would eventually open T side show with a can nibal for the leading attraction. They threw me down and piled it on to me. but they could not hold me down. got up to stick 10 it stronger than ever and you see the result before you.
 c. Hope Jones stands before you 2s q man whose name is known from pole to pole. and it is known nowhere but to be honorcd. Be like me. Iou can fl you will and it is not too much to hope that my remarks here this evening will incite such aims and ambitions that twenty years hence North America will be ruled from Jacl3son's Corners. will now close and pass around tho hat, and it is needless for me to say that if any one here has made up his mind to drop in as much as dime fsl'@'l es7nec,, -him to ,S<ck to it aTd not put m>pn t-ith three coppers and balf a dozen butt Ions N.
