WHY ROCKEFELLER DID 1T.

What do you know aboYt the steel
business?" said Charles NJ. Schwab TO
H. H. Rogers, vice president of the
Standard OIL company. in the offices
of the United States Steel company
one day.
Perhaps | know as much as you
do" Mr.. Rogers replied.
And then, somewhat later. President
A. J. Cassatt of the Pennsylvania
railroad nprooted the poles of the
Western Union Telegraph company
that stood along the Pennsylvania
lines. He destroyed more than FIVE
million dollars worth of property in
less than a week.
That convrsatlOn and Mr. Cassatt's 8
crusade az inst the Western Union
may appear to have no relevance.
Combined with two other circumstanc-
es. they furnish the key to the great
raids ON the stocks OF the United
States Steel company and the Pennvyl
vania railroad.
The tremendous bearing" OF the
securities OF these companies is due
to a steady, relestless, uncompromising
assault by the financial interests con
trolled by John d. Rockefeller. There
is no truce. Rockefeller has two oD
jects in view. He desires to put the
Steel company where he thinks 1t be
longs and to get his man for president
| and he intends TO help George Gould
punish Cassatt.
The Rockefellers are heavily inter
estd In steel They are said to be the
largest holders. II has always beer

CHURCH TIES STRONG.
Spanish Government and Roman Cath.
oIic Body Are Firmly United.

William e. Curtis. in the Chicago
.Record-H Herald
MADRID. Nov. 2.-One Of the CHIEF
causes OF the strength OF the repub'
lican movement in Spain is the wide
spread dissatisfaction among the peo-
pie with the rapid increase of the
numbers and the wealth of the mon
astic orders. Nowhere do they flour
ish as in Spain. Nowhere are they 80
wealthy and influential, and during
the last sixteen years, under the re-
gency of Queen Christiana. they have
become more than ever privileged
class. This is due to two reasons:
First. her piety and devotion to the
Roman Catholic church and her desire
to do everything within her power.
even to the sacrifice of her interests
in ther subjects. to promote its well
fare and prosperity. and. second, the
pressure that has been brought to bear
upon the government by the papal
nuncio at Madrid, the cardinal arch
bishop and ether members Of the
hierarchy in connection with the Sar-
list conspirators The Church Of
Rome has held the present dynasty oil
Spain in its hand, and but for the in
tervention and the influence of the
pope and Cardinal Rampolla there
n would have been perpetual war and
revolution. They, through the parish
priests throughout the kingdom have
been able to suppress the Carllsts and
preserve peace. But, as a price for
this service, the monks and nuns and
the church generally have received ex-
emptions and concessions year after
year until they now enjoy more extend
ed privileges than were granted them
even in the time OF Philip II.
