The Trusts.

Now that Congress has again settled down
for business we shall hear great deal of talk
from the Republican leaders about Trusts and
remedies for the evils growing out OF them.
The President, as usual, is positive that he
has discovered the only panacea, and since his
annual message at the beginning of the session
of Congress, has given the press number OF
interviews, further expouuding his intallibe
plan.
Attorney General Knox has written his
views to Congress and while in the main he
supports the Presidents plans, he has ad-
vanced several new ideas in addition, which
in his opinion will prove entirely effective.
Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,, delivered
a very lengthy speech in the Senate on the same
subject on Tuesday last and multitude OF
lesser lights in the Republican party have
promised to give the suffering people the ben
eft of their researches, and the Republican
political mill will grind out material for use in
the campaign OF 1904. Notwithstanding all
these efforts to kill or at least MAIN, this terri
BILE octupus ii yet lives and continues to draw
from the masses of the people, in every avoca-
ton, trade and business, day after day, sutfi
cent profits to enable it to declare dividends
every few months which annually amount to
a sum equal or in excess of its capital stock.
1t is very plain that the Republicans do not
wish to hurt those large combinations of
wealth for the reason that their campaign funds
are largely drawn from them; and if they in
any way interfere with them by drastic legis
lation, the pap will not be forthcoming in
their future campaigns. The price paid by
the Trusts for protection is the campaign fund,
amounting to millions of dollars, which it is
necessary for the Republican party to have to
keep itself in power.
If the people want relief they must look to
the Democratic party and remedy proposed
by it, namely, removing the tariff from all
articles manufactured or produced by the
Trust. Without the protective tariff Trusts
could not exist, but without the money of the
Trusts to corrupt the individual voter and buy
entire States the Republican party could not
exist. SO Protection must not be interferred
with and the people will continue to pay these
heavy exactions until they make change at
the polls.
The remedy is with them, and if they elect
a Democratic President and House of Repre-
sentatives in 1904 then will relief come, 9TH
erwise the Trust will continue to live and
fatten while the people, the real producers of
the wealth of the country will grow poorer
every day.

New Windsor Items.

Sam Hill, one of the few remaining ex-
slaves, died ofold age on Sunday evening last,
near this place. He belonged to the late
Elijah Bond and was one of the old time dark
les and a very original character. He was as
honest as daylight and an excellent hand to do
any kind of work. Some time ago your reporter
asked him how he getting along. He re-
piled: "Tolerable boss, bat it is not as it used 10
be. times are different. | wish | could live
again with my old master, there had my good
grub an three good sized drinks day, and often
more, and was never overwork.d. Now when
there is a little work to do you get IS cent
a day, for which you have to work like dog
and no drinks" 1t is said Sam was the orig
inaor of the adage,
Bread is the staff of life,
But whiskey is life itself
In spite of Sans advanced age he did more
work in day than any three young darkles
of the present time.
Some ofour good people gave Sam decent
burial at Mt. Oiivet. He will be missed from
our neigeborhood

Married Again at Ninety-Two.

A remarkable union took place in Dare
county, North Carolina, last week when God
frey Trip, 80 years old, married Miss Mary
j. Hill, blushing maiden of II years. The
ceremony took place in Manteo, the justice
of the peace officiating. Trip, who is
a well preserved old man, was bereft of his
wife three weeks ago. In the interval before
marrying again he lived alone on the beach
of Boyds island, and his lonesomeness was so
oppressive that he lost no time in persuading
Miss Hill to share mis- humble home and sim
pie fare.

Floods Fatal in Austria.

VIENNA, Jan. About a score of lives
have been lost in Austria as the result of
foods caused by the breaking up of ice in the
rivers.
At Szolnok floating ice capsized boat and
eight persons were drowned. A washout
wrecked train at Passau, with the result that
two persons were killed and seven injured.
Nine boys, while skating on the river at JAR
kasi, were drowned through the breaking of
the ice.
The rise in the Danube has been rapid. At
Ybbs the river rose feet yesterday.

There are several antitrust bills before
Congress, the latest being presented by Sena-
tor Hoar, of Massachusetts. Because there
are several bills it will be difficult to harmon
ize on any one, or to combine in one bill the
best features of all. Therefore, owing to the
fact that Congress will end on March 4, there
will scarcely be time to enact any antitrust
legislation, unless the Republicans make a
special effort TO do so. They have control of
both branches of Congress, and if an earnest
effort be made an antitrust bill! can be passed.
1t is likely, however, that so many Republic
can Senators and Representatives are under
obligations to the trusts or are financially in
terested in them that no bill of real value to
control or restrain trusts can be passed.

SUIT INJURED THEIR CREDIT.

manent ana Grants Damages.

torney William B. SwartZ, Constables
Marer and Couion and j. r. Sheppard, JUS
tice OF the peace. The suit grew out Of
note that Watson and Sterling held against
ii. III. Symmes and which they placed in
Swartzs hands for collection. He brought
suit In Justice Sheppard's court and Sc
cured judgment. A short time later the
constable attempted to levy on the goods OF
Symmes q Co.
An injunction suit was brought to pre-
vent this on the ground that Symmes g. Co.
were not named in the original complaint,
which was against Symmes individually.
Yesterday Judge Walker made the injunc-
tion permanent and decided that the pro-
ceedings brought against Symmes & Co.
had injured their credit. He gave the COM
pany judgment for 500 damages against
Swartz, Sterling and Watson and judgment

EMBRACED GIRL ONSTREET
SERIOUS OUTRAGE COMMITTED BY
GREEN BALDWIN, A NEGRO.
Misses Grace Tucker and Sarah Lee
stopped on Capitol Avenue by
the Colored Man.

Green Baldwin, a colored man, forty-six
years old. was arrested yesterday after
noon by Bicyclemen Morgan and Simon for
offending persons on the street and assault
and battery. He was arrested just In time
to escape a deserved thrashing by the angry
father of the young woman he had as
saulted.
Grace Tucker, of 2542 North Senate ave-
nue., and Sarah Lee, of 20 West Thirtieth
street. were walking along Capitol avenue
yesterday afternoon on their way to visit
a schoolmate, who lives a short distance
from Twenty-fourth street. At Twenty
sixth street they were accosted by negro
who afterwards turned out to be Baldwin
and when they did not heed his saluta-
tion the negro sprang at Miss Tucker and
embraced her. While holding the young
woman, and despite her screams for as
sistance, Baldwin brutally and coarsely in
suited her and nearly drove her into con-
vulsions by his treatment. Becoming
alarmed at her screams and the noise
being raised by Miss Lee, Baldwin released
Miss Tucker from his grasp and ran south
on Capitol avenue.
The girls hurried home and Miss Tucker
told her father, Charles Tucker, what had
happened. Mr.. Tucker mounted bicycle
and with fair idea of the appearance of
the negro started in pursuit Of him. He
trailed him successfully some distance
south on the street, but finally lost track
of him and returned TO his home. He no
titled the police department of the outrage
on his daughter, and shortly afterward
Morgan and Simon were securing the neigh
borhood for a clew to the nesros where
abouts. A small boy. who had noticed the
negro pass, told the police 1t was Baldwin,
and volunteered to show them to his home
He did so. and a few minutes later Baldwin
was under arrest. despite his protestations
of innocence. and the declaration that he
had been at home all afternoon. The po-
lice took him to the Tucker home and both
young women identified him positively as
being the man who had assaulted Miss
Tucker During the Identification the
father. pale and determined, was only re-
strained from chastising Baldwin by the
presence of the police. The negro, thor
oughly frightened. maintained that he was
innocent OF the offense, in spite of the
positive declaration of both girls that he
was the man.
