rest of the leading Democratic jurists,
trust bound in the habitual way
which denies the right of the United
States government to defend the pub
lie from the aggressions of the forces
which are promoting combinations
in restraint OF trade. August Belmont,
the illionaire trust magnate,
interested especially in underground
traction interests, and a strong inhu
ence in the Democratic party of New
York, has declared through the medi-
um of the editorial columns of his
own paper that Parker is safe "
Mr.. Belmont has had experience with
the New York Legislature and knows
how to make that safe" fof corporate
interests, and his word will be taken
as worthy of belief when applied to
this question of Parker's desirability
for the Presidency as considered from
the standpoint of the trust interests.
Mr.. Belmont's personal organ takes
special pains to show that Judge Par
ker's attitude toward the great oombi-
nations is completely at variance with
that Of the United States Supreme
Court as shown in the recent decision
in the Northern Securities case. He
stands opposed to that decision even as
the Democratic members of that court
stood opposed to it, The Republican
majority smashed the merger, while
the Democratic minority held up it's
hands in holy horror. In speaking Of
Judge Parker's views as compared
with those of the court, Mr.. Bel
mont s organ says, The difference is
world wide. - Judge Parker would not
strike down" trust that might be
a public blessing" merely because it
was illegal
There is no danger of Judge
Parker running amuck among the
trusts in the horrifying fashion Of
President Roosevelt and the Supreme
Court of the United States, remarks
one paper in commenting on the Bel
mont pronouncement. Evidently not.
Mr.. Belmont absolutely vouches for
Judge Parker's safety-to the trusts
as follows: Judge Parker's reason
ing may be followed with an asserting
mind by any person of common
sense. :" In view of Mr.. Belmont's
calculation of Judge Parker's views,
would it not be terrible disaster if
a majority of the voters of tins re-
public should have such lack of
common sense as to prefer the stand
taken by the United States Supreme
Court to that Of Judge Parker, and
choose to take the chances of President
Roosevelt running amuck' and
Strengthening a few more trusts and
mergers and other illegal ordinations
rather than to follow the lines of
safety as laid down by Mr. Belmont
and Judge Parker-a safety" which
consists in giving to the trusts certi-
ficate of legality and guarantee Of
non-interference by the Government?
Would it not. indeed, be terrible
disaster-for the trusts-but bless
ing to the people and the country?

WHEN Nh ma WAS A LIT
TIE GIRL.

Wnen mamma was little girl,
Through the long summer hours
She rambled with the honeybee
In search of fragrant flowers;
And grandma says the census man
Who came TO take their ages,
Took mamma up upon his knee
And heard him read long pages.
And after he had walked away,
Ran little mamma to him, - Say,
Want pretty flowers, manP Seer'
And now my mammals little girl
Loves flowers as we'll as she.
When mamma was little girl,
There was a garrett wide,
Where mamma loved to GO and play,
When it was rough outside,
With cobwebs and with catnip hung,
And dark unlighted hooks,
With boxes, trunks and sugartubs,
With papers and old books;
And there poor mamma lost her doll,
But when the spring came round,
And grandpa sought his sugartubs
81 Poor Phoebe" doll was found,
Hid in a sugar-tub all safe.
oh Phoeber' she did cry,
L member now. 1 shut you there
Because you told lie ~
When mamma was little girl,
There was tiny brook,
Where mamma sat and fished all day
With bent pin for hook,
And grandma curled my mamma S
hair
One sunny summers day,
A pretty clean white dress put ON,
And sent her out to play.
And naughty mamma came back home,
A sight for tears or laughter,
All wet and mud from head to feet,
And Bobby followed after
A wet and sorry cat enough
Was standing ON the mat.
Said grandma, "Why, where have you
been,
And what have you been at?"
Said mamma, I've been to the brook
Bsptizlne Bobby cat -
Then she undressed the naughty girl
And sent her off to bed;
Now you lie still there for an hour,
Madam" she sternly said
And then she pltied her lot,
And peeped in by and by,
Expecting her poor little girl
Would sorry be, and cry. But there
my naughty mamma lay,
Entirely at her ease,
With Youths Companions in a bunch
Propped up against her knees,
Reading away, as satisfied
And happy as you please.
I think my mamma must have been q
funny little girl,
+ With big black eyes like sisters,
And hair in kinky curl;
My grandpa called her "Topsy,"
She called him Tommy" too,
And dear old grandma. Susie"-
I wish I'd been there too,
A pile of boards for play house, -
The ends made lovely Shelves
With broken plates for dishes,
AS happy as two elves,
There she and dolly Phoebe
Ate supper by themselves.
The funny things she used to do,
can't begin to name;
And some folks say my papa
Was very much the same.
So if we get into mi schief,
Are we very much to blame?

The McAmarny Murder Trial Is
Being Hard Fought.
Is Expected to Be Handed to
the Jury on Tuesday.
INTEREST AT LYONS.
The Case Is Attracting Much
Attention In Rice Co.
History of the Tragedy Is Re-
viewed Below.

Lyons, Kan, Jan. 1S.-The McAnarny
murder trial is attracting wide atten-
ton. 1t has occupied the time of the
district court for two weeks past and is
still In progress. On the 25th day of
July James McAnarny was found dead
in a well about half a mile from his son
George McAnarny's house. his throat
was cut in a horrible manner, slashed
and haggled in several places with a
blunt instrument. The Millers, neigh
bors, were notified by Geo. McAnarny
that his father had Jumped in the
we'll and drowned himself" When they
arrived they found the we'll covered
and 20 feet away a large pool of blood
Hat, cane and an old tin can all COW
cred with blood.
Geo. McAnarny had a great deal of
trouble with his father and threatened
him if he came again to his house.
Clothes of Geo. McAnarny were exam
ined and some blood was found upon
them.
The. evidence showed that he contra
dicted himself several times and he
was very nervous when brought to the
scene of the murder.
The defense is based on an attempt
to show that George could not have
been away from his house long enough
to have committed the deed on the day
of the murder. 1t is a hard fought bat
tie on both sides. The case will likely
go to the jury Tuesday.

George Tebeau has a good case against
them, the Western league magnates are
reaching a compromise, and it is now
predicted that the Louisville magnate

Tebeau has a valid claim to the local
franchise, and it is announced that he is
ready to quit baseball for good, Presi-
yer in consultation with Packard and
Burke, Packard's partner. George Te-
beau and Tom Burns were also in town

team, grounds and franchise over to Te-
beau, and in return will receive $40 eco

years This is just 1880 less than Pack
ard could have sold out to Julius Aichele

if possible. He said tonight that he
could not tell anything defite as to the
probable arrangements for disposing of
the club, as he had left that in the hands
of his attorney, but before he leaves

changes will be made for the betterment
of the team. He added that there will
be an entirely new outfit, new first

of those reserved from last year will
add greatly to the strength of the team.

Justice Clarke, in denying the notice
to revoke the contract, said the pro-
ceedings seem to be an attempt by
Wright to obtain possession of a minor
by other means than a writ of habeas
corpus. y /. arh.
He said he could see no good reason
for making any change in the condi-
tions now existing and that the pro-
ceeding seemed to be an attempt to re-
gain possession of the jockey for the
purpose of gain without consulting lis
own wishes. Furthermore, he said
that if the second contract were not
one of apprenticeship it must be form
of slavery forbidden by the laws of the
United States.

bow, an employe of the Dewey Cattle
company in northwestern Kansas, has

case of the state against NJ. A. Wilson,
which grew out of the robbery of the
Rawlins county treasury. Lebow has
been taken by the sheriff to st. Francis,
where he will have his preliminary
hearing on the charge of jury bribing.
The information filed by the county at
torney against Lebow consists of three
counts. The three men who are said
to have been approached are Henry
Greisler, Henry Weaver and ]. R.
Sksen. The three men were on the
panel Of jurors drawn to hear the Will
son case. but Skeen was the only man
of the three who served. 1t is charged
that the employe of the Dewey ranch
approached all three of the men before
the twelve jurors who would hear the
case had been selected.
This is the first time the Deweys
have been connected with the Wilson
case. The amount said to have been
offered to the jurors was only 500, but
