oil must lead to the conclusion that if mas always been used to the fullest ex- tent possible without jeopardizing fit; that we have always paid more for our refined oil than we would have done if there had been free competition. But why should we expect anything else? This Is the chief object of combina- tlons. Certainly the candid members of the Standard oil company would be the last men to argue that they give the public any more of the profits they may get by combination than they can help. One Of the ablest and frankest of them, H. H. Rogers, when before the industrial commission in 1899, was asked how 1t happened that in 20 years the Standard oil company had never cheapened the cost of gathering and transporting oil in pipelines by the least fraction of a cen; that it cost the oil producer just as much now as it did 20 years ago to get his oil taken away from the wells and to transport it to New York. And MT. Rogers answered with delightful candor: We are not in business for our health. but are out for the dollars"
 J. D. Archbold was asked at the same time if it were true that, by virtue of it's great power, the Standard oil com pany was enabled to secure prices that, on the whole, were above those under competition, and MT. Archbold said, We'll, I hope so.''
 But these are frank answers, perhaps surprised out of these gentlemen. The able and wary president of the great concern, J. D. Rockefeller, is more cau- tious in his admissions. On the wit ness-stand in 1888 lie was forced to ad- init, after some skillful evasion, that 1 the control the Standard oil company had of prices was such that they could raise or lower them at will. aBut, j. added MT. Rockefeller, I've would not do it." The context seems to imply that MT. Rockefeller felt that it would not be right to use his power! The student is certainly justified in ques- tioning whether man who signed the South Improvement company charter can expect the public to place much confidence in an assurance that he would not misuse a power gained in the way his has been gained. d.-McC Clure's

cArARRH OF THE STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Eifec-
 tuaI Cure fer It.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been considered the next thing to incurahle'
 The usual symptoms are full or bloating sensation after eating, accom- panied sometimes with sour or Watery risings formation of gases, causing pressure on the heart and lungs, and difficult breathing, headache, tickle ap- petite, nervousness and a general play ed out, languid feeling.
 There is often a foul taste in the mouth, coated tongue and if the interior of the stomach could be seen it would show a slimy, unframed condition,
 The cure for this common and obsti- nate trouble is found in a treatment which causes the food to be readily, thoroughly digested before 1t has time . to ferment and irritate the delicate mu- 1 cous surfaces of the stomach To se- cure a prompt and healthy digestion is I the one necessary thing to do and when normal digestion is secured the catarrh-
 al condition will have disappeared. I According to pr. Harlanson, the saf- 1 est and best treatment is the use after
 each meal tablet, composed of Dias-
 tase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux,
 Golden Seal and fruit acids. These tab
 lets can now be found at all drug stores
 under the name of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a patent medi-
 cine can be used with perfect safety
 and assurance that l1eahlthy appetite
 and thorough digestion will follow their
 regular use after meals.
 Mr.. R. s. Workman, Chicago, H.,
 writes: "Catarrh is local condition re-
 sulting from neglected cold in the
 head, whereby the lining, membrane of the nose becomes infamed and the poi
 sonous discharge therefrom passing
 backward into the throat reaches the stomach, this producing catarrh of the stomach. Medical authorities pre- | scribed for me for three years for ca- tarrh of stomach without cure, but to-
 day am the happiest of men after us- ing only one box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I cannot find appropriate
 words to express my good feeling. I have found flesh, appetite and sound
 rest from their use.''
 stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets is the saf- est preparation as well as the simplest and most convenient remedy for any form of indigestion, Catarrh or stomach biliousness, sour stomach, heartburn
 and hloating after meals. H.

STANDARD OIL TRUST PROFITS.
The Enormous Results of Ten Years
 Business.

 The Enormous Results of Ten Years Business.
 The enormous profits which came to
 the Standard in these 10 years, from
 1872 to 1889, by keeping out competition, are evident if we consider for a mo-
 ment the amount of business done The exports of Illuminating oil in this period
 were nearly 5,000000,009 gallons; of this the Standard handled we'll toward 90
 per cent. Consider what sums lay in
 the ability to hold up the price on such
 m amount even an eighth of d cent a gallon. Combine this control of the
 price of refined oil with the control over the crude product, the ability to de- press the market for purchasing, an a. bility used most carefully but most con stantly; add to this the economies and development Mir. Rockefellers able and energetic machine was making, and the great profits of the Standard oil trust between 1872 and 1889 are easily
 explained. Tn 1879, on a capital of ss,- 5O0,000, the Standard oil company paid $S, ,150,o0o dividends; in 1880 it paid s1,- 050,000. In 1882 1t capitalized itself at $T0, 000,000. Tn 1885, three years later, it's net earnings were over $S, ,OOO. .OO0: in 1886, over $15,oo0,O00; in 1888, over S16,-
 100000. In the meantime the net value
 of its holdings had increased from $72,- 100000 in 1883 to over s101, 100000. While
 the Standard was making these great
 sums. the men who produced the oil
 saw their property depreciating and the
 value of their oil actually eaten up ev- cry two years by the prices the Stand
 ard charged for gathering and storing it.

Same Old Tune.

Resolved, That after four years of
failure to restore the Union by the ex.
pertinent of war, during which, under
the pretence of a military necessity of
a war power higher than the constitu-
ton, the constitution itself has been
disregarded in every part. X
And they hereby declare that they con-
slider the administrative usurpations
of extraordinary and dangerous powers
not granted by the constitution, calcu-
lated to prevent restoration of the
Union.
That was the Democratic platform in
1864. They are still harping away on
that same old string of unconstitu-
tlonallty and usurpation. Neverthe-
less the Union has been restored and
preserved, and it has managed to wag
along in spite of the woeful predictions
of old Cassandra Democracy.

This is news. 1t has been our impression

two newspapers and we fear that Mr.. Lib
by's anxiety ''to control the weekly news
papers of Maine" must be of long continu-
ance. We doubt if he has any such idea.
Certainly there are quite number of week
ly newspapers in Maine that he would find
it difficult, if not impossible, to control.

NOT A MISTAKE.

Russians Fired Deliberately on British Fish
ermen.
LONDON, Oct. 26. A despatch from
Hull to the Times says that the CORE
spondent, as the result of investigation,
is of the opinion that the attack on the
British trawlers by the Russian second
Pacific squadron, was a deliberate act,
perpetrated with a knowledge of its
character.
The correspondent argues that the
fact that the first ships Of the squadron
steamed calmly by, dispcses of the con-
viction that ''the Russian officers had
an attack of nerves" and then con-
tends that it is ridiculous to suppose
that Russian men OF war largely man.
ned by Firms could have mistaken the
trawlers for anything but fishing boats.
Besides the correspondent says,
"such excuses as have been advanced
on behalf of the Russians do not even
allege ignorance; they suggest some
mistake or a menacing move by the
trawlers.
''Then the firing was from more than
one ship and was commenced and stop
ped by ORDERS"
The correspondent minutely details
the injuries inflicted upon the trawlers
and asserts that ''every shot was about
D inches in diameter at the point of
entry, evidently bullets from machine
guns whilst the trawlers also were
struck by burst shell, of which a
skipper picked up fragments. The
Moulmein had hole aft Is inches long
and eight inches wide at the point of
entry, made by shell. 1t is wonderful
that the Moulmein and the Mino escap-
ed the fate of the Crane for the Russian
gunners made first rate practice and
must be complimented on their marks
manship.
cat the same time one cannot swal-
low the yarn that they were paralyzed
by terror or that darkness prevented
them from distinguishing the vessels
they were firing at"
Finally the correspondent contends
that the whole affair is compatible with
the idea of drunken commander yield
ing to the temptation to have little
fun among British fishermen who are
nothing more than peasants in the eyes
OF a well born Russian and, according
to the ideas of Russian officers, especial
ly one under the influence of vodka or
champagne, few roubles would settle
the killing of poor brute of a peasant.
