Mr.. FOLKS TRUE STANDARD.

There is no man in public life today
who has shown himself so wen fitted for
the public service as Joseph w. Folk,
prosecuting attorney of ST. Louis. That
city has been almost as corrupt as Phil
adelphia. In the latter city the policy
has been to reward the boodlers. In ST.
Louis the same policy prevailed until Mr..
Folk was chosen prosecuting attorney.
He decided that a term in the peniten-
tiary was filter reward for a boodler
than a higher office. without fear or
Louis bcodlers, Democrat and Republican
alike. In a recent interview Mr.. Folk
said:
Il believe in exposing and Furnishing
corruption in the Democratic party as
we'll as in the Republican party. The
Democratic idea shall not with my con-
sent, be used as a cloak for villiany,.
There is no magic in party name to
change corruption into innocence. Some
partisans insist that the test of loyalty is
to stand by the party, right or wrong;
W u6I6uU lHe corrupt members regard
less of decency. This policy puts prem
ium on corruption, and weakens a party
by driving decent men from it. The man
who sees no more in Democracy than this
does not know the meaning of true De-
mocracy. If wrongdoing exists, the. soon
er it is discovered the better for the
party and the State. L do not believe in
closing our eyes to corruption for fear
that by making fuss about it the party
might be injured. Let the people know
who the rascals are. No honest man can
be injured by an exposure of the truth
Partisanship does not mean the condon-
ing Of offenses by those calling them
selves Democrats, for they are Demo
Gratis IN name only"
Every honest man will applaud these
utterances. 1t is unfortunately true that
bad men get into office in all parties If
the party shields them, it becomes a
party to their crimes. If it denounces
and disowns them and drives them from
the positions they have disgraced the
party cannot be held responsible for their
corruption. The best partisan is he who
recognizes that the public officer who
renders the best service TO the people is
doing most for his party.

WHAT THE TRUSTS DO.

The promoters of extortionate and
speculative trusts do not develop the re-

restrict development. They do not create
wealth, but appropriate wealth which
others have created. They check pros
perity by gathering wealth in the
hands Of the few out of the savings of
the many. They limit production, they
limit opportunity. They limit the employ

Harris did this very promptly and today
the man from whom Colonel Harris's
client obtained the bonds will be given
thorough examination by the grand jury.
The matter should be probed to the very
bottom, and every machinery of the court
invoked to ascertain who committed the
crime. Colonel Harris has promptly re-

told the name of his client. Mr.. Dortch
has given the name of the man from whom
he obtained the bonds, and now it is up to
Mr.. Jones, of Goldsboro, to tell how they

the grand jury should not be satisfied until
they get the evidence that will lead to the
conviction of the man who stole the
bonds and the repayment of every dollar

In late April OF 1892, Monsieur le
Baron was still domiciled at his Paris
house, and early April usually found
him in his I>anguedoc chateau.
For two years past, E~tienne-the

and the atmosphere thus brought
about his father tended to throw the

to claim him, after his dozen years
absence from their circles.
Al the suppers and card parties
which made unusual gayety in his IA

admitted with the freedom OF an ac-
